Over the Wall - Will Britten
â ˜A gripping account of the cloak and dagger game played in Berlin and beyond by Britainâ ™s shadow warriors. A knife-edge Cold War showdown. A game of secrets, masterfully told.â ™ â “ Damien Lewis, Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorThe British Commandersâ ™-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany, better known as BRIXMIS, was arguably the most successful and enduring intelligence organisation of the whole Cold War. Its three-man teams maintained a permanent presence behind the Iron Curtain, patrolling East German soil every single day from 1946 until the fall of the Berlin Wall changed the face of post-war Europe.In a follow-up to The Deadly Game, Will Britten, a career Military Intelligence Officer, treats us to a fresh, and in places hard-hitting look at his experience as one of the last generations of Cold War warriors. Over the Wall details reconnaissance missions in the depths of the DDR, targeting by Stasi surveillance teams, and fascinating personal contacts with â ˜the enemyâ ™. Beyond this, he puts forward the shocking proposition that Moscow had almost certainly compromised BRIXMIS through their own agents operating within the wide US military system.Providing a rare insight into the activities of the GRU-staffed Soviet military teams deployed reciprocally in West Germany, Over the Wall ultimately poses an intriguing question: in the final balance whose missions were operationally more effective?

Banksy: The Man behind the Wall - Will Ellsworth-Jones
In this fully revised and richly illustrated edition, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together a complete picture of the life and work of Banksy, perhaps the most iconic, enigmatic and controversial artist of modern times. For someone who shuns the limelight so completely that he conceals his name, never shows his face and gives interviews only by email, Banksy is remarkably famous. This fully updated and illustrated story of Banksy’s life and career builds an intriguing picture of his world and unpicks its contradictions. Whether art or vandalism, anti-establishment or sell-out, Banksy and his work have become a cultural phenomenon and the question ‘Who is Banksy?’ is as much about his career as it is ‘the man behind the wall’. From his beginnings as a Bristol graffiti artist, his artwork is now sold at auction for seven-figure sums and hangs on celebrities’ walls. The appearance of a new Banksy is national news, his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop was Oscar-nominated and people queue for hours to see his latest exhibition. Now moreNational Treasure than edgy outsider, who is Banksy and how did he become what he is today? This book charts Banksy #39;s journey from the graffiti-scrawled streets of Barton Hill, the working class neighbourhood of Bristol where he and others covered the walls with vibrant pieces while trying to avoid the police, through to some of the most prestigious galleries of the world, where his daring acts of guerilla art have forced us to reconsider how we define as art. From the artist #39;s own words to recollections of friends and colleagues, this book also examines the contradictions of Banksy #39;s life: charting how a privately educated boy from a middle class area of Bristol reinvented himself as a rogue and an outlaw who would take the art world by storm. With beautiful reproductions of some of his most controversial and recognisable works, this detailed study is a truly indispensible guide to understanding the ultimate art rebel whose work is no less relevant today than it was when he first started out some thirty years ago.

The Tale of a Wall - Nasser Abu Srour

As he grew older, he began questioning the boundaries that limited his existence.Later, sentenced to life in prison, with no hope of parole, he found himself surrounded by a physical wall. This is the story of how, over thirty years in captivity, he crafted a new definition of freedom. Turning to writings by philosophers as varied as Derrida, Kirkegaard and Freud, he begins to let go of freedom as a question that demanded an answer, in order to preserve it as a dream.The wall becomes his stable point of reference, his anchor, both physically and psychologically. As each year brings with it new waves of releases of prisoners, he dares to hope, and seeks refuge in the wall when these hopes are dashed. And, in a small miracle, he finds love with a lawyer from the outside – while in her absence, the wall is his solace and his curse.A testimony of how the most difficult of circumstances can build a person up instead of tearing them down, The Tale of a Wall is an extraordinary record of the vast confinement and power of the mind.

The Road Through the Wall - Shirley Jacksonová
Reminiscent of her classic story The Lottery , Jackson s disturbing and darkly funny first novel exposes the underside of American suburban life. Her books penetrate keenly to the terrible truths which sometimes hide behind comfortable fictions, to the treachery beneath cheery neighborhood faces and the plain manners of country folk; to the threat that sparkles at the rainbow s edge of the sprinkler spray on even the greenest lawns, on the sunniest of midsummer mornings Donna TarttIn Pepper Street, an attractive suburban neighbourhood filled with bullies and egotistical bigots, the feelings of the inhabitants are shallow and selfish: what can a neighbour gain from another neighbour, what may be won from a friend? One child stands alone in her goodness: little Caroline Desmond, kind, sweet and gentle, and the pride of her family. But the malice and self-absorption of the people of Pepper Street lead to a terrible event that will destroy the community of which they are so proud. Exposing the murderous cruelty of children, and the blindness and selfishness of adults, Shirley Jackson reveals the ugly truth behind a perfect world.Shirley Jackson s chilling tales have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the greatest American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird s Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48. An amazing writer Neil Gaiman Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic, inimitable writers ... whose work exerts an enduring spell Joyce Carol Oates An unburnished exercise in the sinister The New York Times

Roger Waters The Wall je hudebně-zážitková road movie, která zachycuje světové koncertní turné zakládajícího člena legendární britské skupiny Pink Floyd v letech 2010 až 2013. Záběry, pořízené ve třech městech na dvou kontinentech, putují mezi 150 metrů dlouhým jevištěm a zákulisím, ze kterého vše exkluzivně komentuje sám Waters. Divákům se naskytne pohled na úchvatnou hudební a vizuální show, ve které nechybí pyrotechnika, bohaté projekce a před zraky rostoucí monumentální zeď. Waters při tvorbě ohromující rock n rollové show doslova zhmotnil vlastní imaginaci a protiválečné vize – stejně jako původní dvojalbum rockové opery z roku 1979 nese i film silné pacifistické poselství a stopuje Watersovu osobní minulost, kterou tvrdě zatížila otcova a dědečkova smrt ve světových válkách.Bonusy:ČASOSBĚRNÉ VIDEOSedm dní natáčení v řeckých Aténách a osm dní velkolepých příprav v argentinském Buenos Aires na rekordních devět vyprodaných koncertů v řaděNÁVŠTĚVA U FRANKA THOMPSONAKrátký film natočený během tour.

The title piece tells the story of a prisoner during the Spanish Civil War, on the eve of his execution by a firing squad, who is told he will be spared if he can betray the whereabouts of a fellow Republican. This leads him to question his cause and his loyalty, as the mental torment that he and two other inmates endure unfolds in unflinching detail.This collection, which also includes â ˜The Bedoomâ ™, â ˜Herostratusâ ™ and â ˜Intimacyâ ™ â “ short psychological tales in which individuals grapple with questions of madness, sexuality and death â “ as well as â ˜The Childhood of a Leaderâ ™, the extended chronicle of a young manâ ™s emotional deterioration and embrace of Fascism, provides a fascinating and accessible introduction to the author who would become the figurehead of Existentialism.

Beyond the Wall - Bidisha
Through the voices of those who live it, Beyond the Wall unveils the everyday realities of occupation, resilience, and the fight for dignity in Palestine. Their voices come from Bethlehem and Hebron. You can hear them from Jerusalem to Nazareth, and witness their protests in Gaza and Ramallah. From the refugee camps in the West Bank, you can hear the voices of the Palestinian people call out to demand self-determination and a better quality of life. But outside of Israel and the occupied territories, these individual voices are rarely heardâ ”until now.

Called â œbeautifully belligerent, [and] fiercely intelligentâ by The Independent and a â œdazzlingly creative writerâ by the London Times, Bidisha amplifies the voices of the Palestinian people in this book and lends them her own considerable strength.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass - Lana Del Rey
THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana s breathtaking first book solidifies her further as the essential writer of her times (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana s typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff.
