Clear now as to the enormity of abandoning Misha, then convalescent from a heart-transplant, Viktor determines to make amends. Viktor falls in with a Mafia boss who engages him to help in his election campaign, then introduces him to men who might further his search for Misha, said to be in a private zoo in Chechnya. What ensues is for Viktor both a quest and an odyssey of atonement, and, for the reader, an experience as rich, topical and illuminating as Death and the Penguin.

The third volume of Kurkov’s critically acclaimed, intimate and deeply moving war diaries: a poignant, personal account of life under siege in Ukraine – rich with humanity, dark humour, and unforgettable resilience amidst devastation. “Clever, passionate” The Times “The pieces are flawlessly structured; the tone is devoid of self-pity … Yet saturating the book is a note of savage black comedy, the farce of a world made weird by unimaginable violence” Spectator “Uplifting and utterly defiant” Daily Express “No-one with the slightest interest in this war, or the nation on which it is being waged, should fail to read Andrey Kurkov” Daily Mail ______ Andrey Kurkov’s war diaries continue – a searing, deeply human portrait of a nation reshaped by war. In this third volume of Andrey Kurkov’s war diaries, Ukraine’s greatest living writer chronicles the third year of the full-scale invasion from his home in Kyiv and from journeys all over the country – capturing moments of horror, resilience, absurdity and grace with unmatched clarity. Children on a contested border wear hooded bulletproof vests to school; soldiers write haiku; professional clowns go to war; and the mother of a young soldier, killed in battle, uses his compensation money to create a rehabilitation centre for veterans. Roses bloom across Ukraine in quiet tribute to a florist and soldier killed in Avdiivka, remembered by those who once bought his flowers. The Dnipro River seems to slow when the first missiles fall, as though nature itself had paused in shock. In Pokrovsk, 7,500 residents refuse to leave a city that no longer exists – their homes obliterated but their will unbroken. A general’s seventeen-year-old pet toad becomes an iconic symbol of defiance. And buried beneath a cherry tree, a murdered writer’s final diary is recovered, a haunting echo of a silenced voice. From the home front to the trenches, Kurkov captures the rhythms of survival – the quiet rituals, unlikely joys, unexpected humour and appalling costs – in an intimate and deeply moving record of national endurance. Three Years on Fire is a luminous act of remembrance, rich with unforgettable detail and human spirit, from a writer whose voice stands witness to everything Ukraine has lost – and everything it refuses to give up.

From his home in Kyiv, Kurkov captures the surreal and the life-shattering: children learning algebra in metro stations turned bomb shelters, holidaymakers sunbathing on mined beaches, and farmers sowing fields shadowed by missile strikes.On its eastern borders, Ukrainian citizens are put into “filtration camps”, en route to Russia … or to execution. To the north, Belarusian forces press refugees into service as mine detectors.This is a lived account – rich with startling vignettes, dark humour and devastating detail – of a country adapting, resisting, surviving. A child downloads movies to a smartphone to watch during nightly power cuts. An elderly Japanese man feeds the hungry in Kharkiv. A soldier carefully rehomes a swarm of bees. A winemaker uses scrap wooden shell crates to package gift sets. A Ukrainian gunner inscribes messages on shells and rockets aimed for Russia: “For Bakhmut”, he writes.

“For centuries, attempts have been made to force Ukrainians to forget their native language, to stop singing Ukrainian songs and to abandon their history. For almost 400 years, Russia has been fighting against Ukrainian identity.” Ten years on from the annexation of Crimea, two years on from Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people continue to fight back. In the second volume of his war diaries, Andrey Kurkov gives a fresh perspective on a people for whom resistance and solidarity have become a matter of survival. Our Daily War is a chronological record of the heterogeneous mix that comprises Ukrainian life and thought in the teeth of Russian aggression, from the constant stress of air raids, the deportation of citizens from the occupied regions and the whispers of governmental corruption to Christmas celebrations, crowdfunding and the recipe for a “trench candle”. Kurkov’s human’s-eye view on the war in Ukraine is by turns bitingly satirical, tragic, humorous and heartfelt. It is also, in the manner of Pepys, an invaluable insight into the history, politics and culture of Ukraine.Our Daily War is the ideal primer for anyone who would like to know what life is like in that country today. “Andrey Kurkov [is] one of the most articulate ambassadors to the West for the situation in his homeland,” Sam Leith, Spectator “Immediate and important … From the grim incredulity at Russians massing on the border to the displacement of millions of people, this is an insider's account of how an ordinary life became extraordinary.

''Uplifting and utterly defiant'' Matt Nixson, Daily Express ''Immediate and important ... This is an insider''s account of how an ordinary life became extraordinary'' Helen Davies, The Times''At first we did not understand what war was. You can''t understand it until you see it and hear it.''As Russian forces build up beyond the Ukrainian borders and the prospect of war becomes a devastating reality, Andrey Kurkov chronicles the shocking impact of Russia''s invasion of Ukraine. Part political and historical commentary, part personal journal, Kurkov explores the fraught interrelation of Russian and Ukrainian history, the complicated coexistence of their languages, and in describing how a peaceful society defies occupation, the author builds an image of a culture which, contrary to Putin''s claims, is unique and democratic, liberal and diverse, one that will ''resist to the end''.Redirecting his satirical flair to paint a defiant portrait of his compatriots, Kurkov tells of a people united against erasure. Bread is baked and shared in the ruins. An amputee is carried aboard an evacuating train, grandmothers escape occupied towns with their noisome roosters. And despite the networks of toloka, of community work for common good, being stretched to breaking point, and the embittering reticence of some European nations to make good their promises of aid and armaments, hope channels its perennial resistance: children are born deep within besieged cities and farmers go on working the fields made lethal by unexploded shells. Kurkov braids his personal story with those of other displaced Ukrainians and the communities that have gone to extraordinary lengths to care for them. Showing an irrepressible spirit, they ''wait for the moment when it will be safe to return,'' he writes, ''just as I am waiting.''

A fascinating read in the light of contemporary events" Alexander McCall Smith, Bestselling Author of The No. 1 Ladies'' Detective AgencyKyiv, 1919. The Soviets control the city, but White armies menace them from the West. No man trusts his neighbour and any spark of resistance may ignite into open rebellion.When Samson Kolechko''s father is murdered, his last act is to save his son from a falling Cossack sabre. Deprived of his right ear instead of his head, Samson is left an orphan, with only his father''s collection of abacuses for company.Until, that is, his flat is requisitioned by two Red Army soldiers, whose secret plans Samson is somehow able to overhear with uncanny clarity. Eager to thwart them, he stumbles into a world of murder and intrigue that will either be the making of him - or finish what the Cossack started.Inflected with Kurkov''s signature humour and magical realism, The Silver Bone takes inspiration from the real life archives of crime enforcement agencies in Kyiv, crafting a propulsive narrative that bursts to life with rich historical detail.Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk

Samson Kolechko has been assigned a most perplexing case - though it is mostly perplexing because it''s hard to understand why selling the meat of one''s own pig constitutes a crime. But apparently it does, and at the insistence of the Chekist secret police officer assigned to "reinforce" the Lybid police station, Samson does his diligent - if diffident - best.Yet no sooner has he got started than his live-in fiancée Nadezhda is abducted by striking railway workers who object to the census she''s carrying out. And when you factor in a mysterious thief in the police station itself, a deadly tram accident that may have been pre-meditated, and the potential reappearance of the culprit in the case of the silver bone, it''s no wonder the "meat case" takes a back seat.But it is in the pursuit of that petty-fogging, seemingly mundane matter that Samson''s fate lies - and Nadezhda''s too, for the two are inextricably entwined.Translated from the Russian by Boris DralyukReviews for The Silver Bone - Longlisted for the International Booker Prize"Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine''s greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times"Wildly enjoyable . . .

A hugely entertaining romp through the beautiful city of Lviv, by the author of Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees, now reporting widely on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his home country.Strange things are happening in the cosmopolitan town of Lviv, western Ukraine. Seagulls are circling and the air smells salty, though Lviv is a long way from the sea . . .A group of ageing hippies meets at the cemetery in the middle of the night, gathered around a mysterious grave. Among them the ex-KGB officer who means to apologise to all those he spied on; the woman who is allergic to banknotes, and yet works at the money exchange; and Taras, who makes a living driving at top speed over cobblestones in his ancient Opel Vectra, curing paying passengers of their kidney stones.Kurkov's novels are often populated by lonely people going through difficult times, and by his own brand of black humour combined with magic realism (occasionally vodka-fuelled). All those ingredients are found in Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv.

A charming and beautifully illustrated book about the world’s most beloved bird, written by Peter Fretwell, a leading scientist at The British Antarctic Survey, and illustrated by Lisa Fretwell.There’s something about penguins that makes them irresistible. Maybe it’s their comical waddle, their black-and-white ‘tuxedo’ plumage, or their apparent cheerfulness in the face of extreme weather conditions. Whatever the reason, their cult following around the globe is indisputable. Penguins can tell us so much about the world we live in – and what the future of both our species might look like.In The Penguin Book of Penguins, leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell introduces us to eighteen charismatic species of penguin and the fascinating lives they lead: their evolution, behaviours and habitats, and their history with humans. From the fact that emperor penguins dive twice as deep as any other bird, to the story of a king penguin called Sir Nils Olav III who was made a Major General by the Norwegian Army, we discover through fascinating first-hand encounters (and even penguin jokes and emojis!) why penguins matter so greatly to all of us.

‘An amazing book . . . Read it gang, honestly’ Zoe Ball‘I haven''t read a book for a long time that so often had me close to tears’ Observer‘Inspirational . . . You can call this good teaching; what it looks like is love’ Evening StandardThe powerful, inspiring story of Andria Zafirakou, ''the best teacher in the world'', and what it takes to work on the frontlines of education todayArts teacher Andria Zafirakou was always a rule-breaker. At her inner-city London school where more than eighty languages are spoken, she would sense urgent needs; mending uniforms, calling social services, shielding vulnerable teens from gangs. And she would tailor each class to its pupils, fiercely believing in the power of art to unlock trauma, or give a mute child the confidence to speak. Time and again, she would be proved right. So in 2018, when Andria won the million-dollar Global Teacher Prize, she knew exactly where the money would go: back into arts education for all. Because today, the UK government’s cuts and curriculum changes are destroying the arts, while their refusal to tackle the most dangerous threats faced by children – cyber-bullying, gang violence, hunger and deprivation – puts teachers on the safeguarding frontline. Andria’s story is a rallying wake-up call that shows what life is really like for schoolchildren today, and a moving insight into the extraordinary people shaping the next generation.Praise for Andria Zafirakou:‘A magic combination of belief and compassion’ Financial Times‘Andria Zafirakou should be an inspiration to all’ i‘Zafirakou’s generosity offers a gleam of hope in a world that can seem unremittingly dark’ Guardian‘An amazing person . . . What struck me was just her sheer joy’ Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2‘Where others might have given up, Andria has made it her mission to ensure [her students] get the best possible start in life’ Daily Mail

Audiokniha: Dramatizovaná četba kriminálního thrilleru podle skutečné události Kdo vraždil? Byl to vůbec člověk, nebo symbolický černý jezdec, o němž se v kraji tradují ústně vyprávěné historky... Strhující drama nemilosrdného vyvraždění statkářské rodiny s prvky psychologické studie. Námětem knihy Jedlová samota je skutečná událost, která se stala v Bavorsku po světové válce. Pachatel nebyl nikdy usvědčen. Podrobnosti rozkrývají obyvatelé horské vesnice při výsleších na policii. Hlavním vypravěčem je neznámý pozorovatel (jakési Boží oko nebo alter ego vraha). Autorka Jedlové samoty Andrea Maria Schenkelová si do svého literárního příběhu vraha dosadila. Zvolila jednoho z hlavních podezřelých při vyšetřování skutečné události. Přiklonila se tedy k jedné z nejpravděpodobnějších verzí. Jedlová samota byla ověnčena několika literárními cenami, například cenou Deutscher Krimi Preis nebo švédskou cenou Martin Beck Award. V Německu se prodal více než jeden milion knižních výtisků, vznikla úspěšná audiokniha a byl natočen film. Kniha byla vydána také v mnoha dalších zemích světa. V hlavních rolích účinkují: Jiří Dvořák a Lukáš Hlavica Dále hrají: Růžena Merunková, Viktor Dvořák, Andrea Elsnerová, Renata Rychlá, Lukáš Křišťan, Dušan Sitek, Jan Meduna, Oldřich Navrátil, Ljuba Krbová, Simona Babčáková, Kryštof Nohýnek, Marcela Nohýnková, Klára Sedláčková-Oltová, Daniel Šváb, Petr Vršek V dětských rolích: Josefína Bianca Štěpánková a Alberto Tošner Záznam zvuku, střih, mixáž a digitální mastering: Dominik Budil, 2017 Režie: Jindřiška Nováková Andrea Maria Schenkelová Andrea Maria Schenkel se narodila v roce 1962 v německém Řezně. V roce 2006 vydala svůj debut „Jedlová samota", za který obdržela v roce 2007 Německou cenu za detektivní román a Cenu Friedricha Glaubera. Práva na knihu byla dosud prodána do 11 zemí. Svou prvotinou se Andrea Maria Schenkel postarala hned o rozruch. Bylo to detektivkové překvapení posledních let. Kniha byla také namluvena na CD. Stejně si vedl i její druhý detektivní román „Studený led". Jiří Dvořák (1967) Úspěšně vystudoval herectví na Janáčkově akademii múzických umění a vzápětí získal angažmá v Městském divadle v Brně. V roce 1999 dostal nabídku působit v pražském Divadle na Vinohradech, jehož předním členem je dodnes. Je známý spíše z televizních filmů a inscenací, jako POKOJ BEZ OKEN, VŮNĚ VANILKY, BROUK V HLAVĚ a znamenitá detektivka v režii Jiřího Stracha VYVRAŽDENÍ RODINY GREENŮ. Ve filmu ANDĚL PÁNĚ, ztvárnil čerta Uriáše, který provází anděla Petronela. Co se seriálů týče, mohli jsme ho vidět v Pojišťovně štěstí nebo Světlech pasáže. Lukáš Hlavica (* 1965) Je absolventem herectví na pražské DAMU, kde posledních dvacet let působí jako pedagog. Kromě herectví a výuky se úspěšně věnuje divadelní i rozhlasové režii. Dlouhodobě spolupracuje s Českým rozhlasem, působil v Národním divadle i v Divadle na Vinohradech, poté na čtyři roky zakotvil jako režisér v Dejvickém divadle (jeho inscenace Bratři Karamazovi se hrála bezmála 15 let).

Join Little Andrea on an exploration of her Mexican heritage and the history of the Day of the Dead, a holiday that transforms death into a joyful celebration of life.Through detailed stories told by Little Andrea’s beloved abuela, The Dia de Los Muertos Story reveals to young readers the origins of Dia de Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, what it means to Mexican families, and how it has grown and expanded to other parts of the world, specifically north into the United States. This enchanting picture book follows Little Andrea as she discovers how what began as ceremonies practiced by the ancient Aztecs has evolved into a holiday recognized far beyond the borders of Mexico. As the story unfolds, Little Andrea explores significant moments in history and historical figures that demonstrate the endurance of the holiday through the ages.

Gorgeously illustrated, this guide to understanding Dia de los Muertos encourages a young audience to engage directly with the holiday and Mexican culture through its many hallmarks such as sugar skulls, papel picado, ofrendas, catrinas, and more.Young readers will love learning beside Little Andrea about the incredible history and traditions of Dia de los Muertos and its joyful celebration of life.The Holiday Celebration series from becker&mayer! kids honors the diverse holidays and milestones that shape the cultural fabric of the United States. Though these traditions may have originated elsewhere, brought to our shores by ancestors from around the world, they have endured and evolved to weave the vibrant tapestry of American life. The series includes picture books and their companion kid-friendly cookbooks that share stories uniquely representative of the American experience—an experience that is multilayered, eclectic, inclusive, and joyfully beautiful.Also available from the series:The Juneteenth Story, The Juneteenth Cookbook, The Dia de Los Muertos Cookbook, and The Kwanzaa Story.
