______________________''Too much to do? Stop and read this'' - Guardian''For a fresh take on an eternal dilemma, Overwhelmed is worth a few hours of any busy woman’s life – if only to ensure that she doesn’t drop off the bottom of her own “To Do” list'' - Mail on Sunday______________________In her attempts to juggle work and family life, Brigid Schulte has baked cakes until 2 a.m., frantically (but surreptitiously) sent important emails during school trips and then worked long into the night after her children were in bed. Realising she had become someone who constantly burst in late, trailing shoes and schoolbooks and biscuit crumbs, she began to question, like so many of us, whether it is possible to be anything you want to be, have a family and still have time to breathe. So when Schulte met an eminent sociologist who studies time and he told her she enjoyed thirty hours of leisure each week, she thought her head was going to pop off. What followed was a trip down the rabbit hole of busy-ness, a journey to discover why so many of us find it near-impossible to press the ‘pause’ button on life and what got us here ...

Rozsáhlá sága začíná v polovině 19. století na moravském venkově a pokračuje ve Vídni přes bezhlavý útěk před nacisty až po těžce vydobytou novou existenci v Americe. Výraznou roli přisoudila autorka prastrýci Ottovi Flatterovi, malíři, který v roce 1932 vyřezal a omaloval lepenkové figurky znázorňující některé členy rodiny. Jeho loutkové divadlo přečkalo dramata exilu a zachovalo se dodnes. Paměti předků Brigid Graumanové představují pozoruhodný dar z minulosti, zároveň neodolatelnou pozvánku k objevování světa, do něhož rodina patřila. "Být Židem nebylo nikdy lehké, nejen kvůli předsudkům ostatních lidí, ale i Židů samotných," píše Brigid Graumanová a předkládá příběh vlastní rodiny v průběhu dvou století. Rodinnou historii mapuje prostřednictvím sedmi předků, ztělesňujících rozličné formy židovství, kteří po sobě zanechali memoáry. Přestože každý z těchto memoárů je jiný svým charakterem a zaměřením, autory kromě krve spojuje ještě jedno - všichni byli běženci, cizinci v zemích, kde se nikdy necítili doma.

Americans often worry about political corruption-not only about specific officials misusing their powers, but also more broadly about political, cultural, moral decay or deterioration. Underneath our talk about corruption lie deeper claims and concerns about how we organize our common life. American Corruption Talk presents a study of corruption and corruption talk that seeks to understand those deeper claims and concerns. Robert Boatright and Molly Brigid McGrath focus on the role corruption talk plays in American political discourse. They distinguish between two ways people speak about corruption-corruption talk in the style of a purifier, who wishes to expunge the evil forces or drain the swamp, and corruption talk in the style of the mender, who thinks of managing, replacing, or repairing. Â American Corruption Talk begins by tracing how the concept of political corruption was developed by philosophers and political thinkers, leading up to its use in the American context, especially in the Progressive Era. It also compares modes of contemporary corruption talk in different areas of public life. In doing so, the authors hope to resolve confusion and partisan disagreements about what corruption is and to discourage the tendency to label actions, events, and ideas that we merely disagree ...
