An instant New York Times, Washington Post, and USA TODAY bestseller—based on the true story of the heroic librarians at the American Library in Paris during World War II—The Paris Library is a moving and unforgettable “ode to the importance of libraries, books, and the human connections we find within both” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author). Paris, 1939: Young and ambitious Odile Souchet seems to have the perfect life with her handsome police officer beau and a dream job at the American Library in Paris. When the Nazis march into the city, Odile stands to lose everything she holds dear, including her beloved library. Together with her fellow librarians, Odile joins the Resistance with the best weapons she has: books. But when the war finally ends, instead of freedom, Odile tastes the bitter sting of unspeakable betrayal. Montana, 1983: Lily is a lonely teenager looking for adventure in small-town Montana. Her interest is piqued by her solitary, elderly neighbor. As Lily uncovers more about her neighbor’s mysterious past, she finds that they share a love of language, the same longings, and the same intense jealousy, never suspecting that a dark secret from the past connects them. “A love letter to Paris, the power of books, and the beauty of intergenerational friendship” (Booklist), The Paris Library shows that extraordinary heroism can sometimes be found in the quietest places.

#1 New York Times Bestselling AuthorStephanie Plum returns to hunt down a master cyber-criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice.

Kniha představuje českému čtenáři nejznámější novozélandskou spisovatelku Janet Frameovou. Kniha obsahuje novelu Sněhuláku, sněhuláku a i soubor 24 povídek Laguna. Čtyřiadvacet povídek bylo napsáno na konci čtyřicátých let 20. století. V roce 1951, v době jejího prvního vydání, žila Janet Frameová v péči novozélandských psychiatrických léčeben, neboť u ní diagnostikovali schizofrenii. Tato její prvotina získala nejprestižnější novozélandské literární ocenění The Hubert Church Prose Award za rok 1951. V polovině 50. let jí na londýnské klinice sdělili, že schizofrenií netrpěla - je jen extrémně uzavřenou ženou. Frameová se pak na sedm let usadila v Británii. Je autorkou 11 románů, pěti povídkových sbírek a knihy veršů. Jak říká ve své slavné autobiografii: Moje psaní mě zachránilo . Z autorčiny autobiografické trilogie vychází též film Anděl u mého stolu. Film získal na MFF Benátkách roku 1990 Zvláštní cenu poroty a cenu FIPRESCI. Obraznost její prózy má říz poezie, avšak necílí jen k estetickému účinku, hledá smysl, nevyhýbá se ironii, odloupává vrstvy nucených fasád - vytržení smyslů, jež je toho výsledkem, je přesto prosto ega či sebelítosti. Frameová umí čarovat z vod dětského světa, naznačit význam drobným detailem, svůj příběh vyřezává s mistrnou pečlivostí a on proto plyne, plyne k nepředvídanému.

This is a story - among many others - of justice denied. Fighting this battle over the past quarter of a century has been a lesson in collusion, cover-up and all the sophisticated - as well as the crude - methods employed by different parts of the British state to maintain the status quo, protect itself and those in its employ and evade justice . . . This book is my attempt to bring some kind of accountability, simply by telling the truth. The police killing of Christopher Alder was one of the most notorious deaths in custody in the UK, involving the destruction of evidence, a whitewash of an investigation and illegal surveillance. Christopher s sister Janet has been relentlessly fighting for justice for decades, and fearlessly holds the UK s state institutions to account in this extraordinary book.This book is a probing expose of what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as the personal story of Janet s fight to uncover the truth.

Janet Pritchard⠙s romance with the American West began with horseback riding, watching movies, and hearing her dad⠙s dreams of being a cowboy. When she began to spend adolescent summers in Wyoming during the 1960s, her world changed forever, as she fell under the spell of natural wonder in the shadow of the Grand Tetons. Only later did she recognize her feelings as a response to what nineteenth-century Romantics called the sublime.A vintage 1916 picture postcard of Golden Gate Canyon by F. Jay Haynes inspired this project. When Pritchard turned it over and read the message ⠓ ⠜I cannot describe the Yellowstone as the dictionary is only a book. It is more than scenery. In some places, it is so beautiful that the men take off their hats, and the women are silent!⠝ ⠓ she was back in a childhood place of wonder tempered by a lifetime of work as an artist and teacher in landscape photography.Formed by fire and ice, embraced by a nation seeking an ancient past with a future as grand as the landscapes it inhabited, Yellowstone was established as the world⠙s first national park by an Act of Congress in 1872\. One hundred fifty years later, the park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem continue to occupy an iconic role in the public imagination of Yellowstone as a place that is both real and ideal. Here, in this complex ecosystem where wild nature and culture meet, the complexities of our relationship to the natural world are revealed unlike any other place.Yellowstone is truly unique, and each generation who visits it invests Yellowstone with ideas, beliefs, and values reflecting its historical moment.

Lippard⠙ sets the table with her heartfelt introduction to the world⠙s romance with Yellowstone.
