A mesmeric, harrowing and uplifting childhood memoir that will open up much-needed conversations about identity and mental health''This will blow you away''- Stylist''Joly''s prose is sensitive and heartbreaking...darkly compelling'' - Business Post''An extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir'' - Belfast TelegraphIt was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife Anna were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn''t had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were ''different'', Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and - on the inside - a girl. The limitations of the people around him to understand his differences led to years of tyrannical bullying and abuse, forcing him to withdraw within himself to the point of clinical absence. His only chance for survival was the inner world he created for himself, rich with loving and supportive friends and playmates, that only he could see. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante. Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, blossoms as they share stories, fears, and laughter - each session a step closer to Jonathan''s physical and emotional healing. But the book is also a vivid account of the books and plays that he has written as well as those that he has read, and one begins to understand that this is not just a book about healing but an autobiography, a total life, viewed through the lens ...

‘Epic, stunning, and completely delicious. Jonathan Becker: Lost Time is a fitting legacy for one of the true photographic masters of our age.’ – Graydon Carter, founder and co-editor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair The first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced a body of evocative photographic work that documents lives of the twentieth-century beau monde. A protégé of legendary Parisian photographer Brassaï and a longtime contributor to Vanity Fair, Becker’s work provides a link between fine-art photography and the notion of the photographer as social observer. Bringing together commissioned and personal work, this stunning collection presents more than 200 images from across Becker’s career, charting his journeys in New York, Paris, London, and Buenos Aires from the 1970s to the 2010s. Portraits of artists Ed Ruscha and Cindy Sherman, writers Arthur Miller and Eudora Welty, musicians David Bowie and Mick Jagger, and others reveal Becker’s exceptional eye and astute sociological observations. The monograph includes an introductory text by the book’s editor, Mark Holborn, along with a narrative text by Becker about his life, travels, and encounters ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein’s father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the eightieth anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.For readers who enjoyed East West Street, The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family. Praise for Jonathan Lichtenstein's work: ‘The writing is keenly observed and emotionally resonant. . . an impressive achievement given the breadth of its reach, from Berlin in the 1930s to Bethlehem today’ New York Times ...

Elektronická kniha ze série Polozapomenuté války, autor Karel Richter, 416 stran Z vyprávění o dramatech druhé světové války jakoby se vytrácel její tragický začátek: Zákeřné přepadení Polska jednotkami wehrmachtu, zoufalý boj pěšáků a jezdců s drtivou přesilou tanků a letadel, ale hlavně dlouho utajovaný fakt, že na východní hranici krvácejícího Polska číhala vojska Rudé armády, aby mu v příhodném okamžiku vrazila dýku překvapivého útoku do zad. Spojenecká Francie a Velká Británie nečinně přihlížely. Byl to podivný začátek války. Jeho příčiny však sahají daleko zpět až do roku 1918, kdy bylo Polsko po porážce centrálních mocností v první. světové válce obnoveno jako jednolitý nezávislý stát. Do vínku mu byla bohužel dána nevraživost západního i východního souseda. Polsko bylo v září 1939 spojenými silami obou totalitních velmocí sraženo do prachu válečné porážky a počtvrté ve svých dějinách podrobeno likvidační...

Kniha je jedinečnou a přesvědčivou studií historického vývoje etnických národů založeného na jazyce a identitě. Týká se čtyř východoevropských zemí. Timothy Snyder tvrdí, že "Tématy této knihy jsou transformace národních idejí, příčiny etnických čistek a podmínky národního smíření”. Tato témata Snyder vysvětluje tak, že líčí složitě propletené příběhy Polska, Ukrajiny, Litvy a Běloruska a jejich společné kořeny v raně moderním státě: Polsko-litevské unii (1569-1795), kde základy politické identity tkvěly ve sdílené kultuře a občanských právech. Kdy a jak vznikají moderní národy? Proč dochází k etnickým čistkám? Jak mohou národní státy nastolit mír? Tyto a mnohé další otázky si klade kniha Timothyho Snydera Obnova národů a pokouší se na ně opovědět na příkladu někdejší Polsko-litevské unie. Ta vznikla v roce 1569, kdy slovo "národ" znamenalo něco podstatně jiného než dnes. V Polsko-litevské unii se hovořilo různými jazyky, vládla tam náboženská tolerance, fungoval tam parlament. Vytvořila však - anebo trvale uchovala - také jazyky, náboženství a mýty, které dnes vnímáme jako ukrajinské, běloruské či ruské. Autor nás provádí staletími a událostmi, mnohdy strašlivými a krutými, plnými nenávisti, aby na konci druhého tisíciletí dospěl k branám jiného nadstátního útvaru: Evropské unie.

The complete edition of a timeless classic, includes the recently rediscovered Part Four and ‘Last Words’ by Richard Bach.Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the most celebrated inspirational fable of our time, tells the story of a bird determined to be more than ordinary.‘Most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight – how to get from shore to food and back again,’ writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. ‘For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.’ Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar.This bestselling modern classic is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighbourhood finds your ambition threatening (at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock). By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan learns the meaning of love and kindness and gets the ultimate payoff – transcendence.The dreamy illustrations by Russell Munson provide just the right illustrations for this spirituality classic that has inspired thousands of readers to follow their own path in life and so fulfill their ...

The Penguin Classics edition of Jonathan Swift''s savagely satirical A Modest Proposal and Other Writings is edited with an introduction and notes by Carol Fabricant.To ease poverty in Ireland by eating the children of the poor was the satirical ''solution'' suggested by Jonathan Swift in his essay ''A Modest Proposal'' (1729). Here Swift unleashes the full power of his ironic armoury and corrosive wit, finding his targets - the British ruling class and avaricious landlords, and the brutalized Irish, complicit in their own oppression - with deadly precision. His masterly essay is accompanied by a generous selection of prose works, among them pamphlets attacking British rule in his native Ireland, periodical essays critiquing the new capitalist and military classes, a journal detailing his political activities in London, a loving tribute to his beloved ''Stella'' after her death and pieces on such diverse subjects as the absurdities of astrology, the joys of punning and comical rules for servants. Ingenious and unconventional, Swift is revealed here as one of the greatest satirists in the English language.In her introduction to this new edition, Carol Fabricant discusses Swift''s life and turbulent times, his political views and his powers as a writer of complex irony ...

‘If I had to lose my record to anyone, I couldn’t be happier that it was Jonathan. Family connections aside, there is nobody more talented, more determined or more deserving.’ – Carl FogartyWithin the staggeringly dangerous and high-pressure sport of professional motorcycling, Jonathan Rea’s achievements are unprecedented. A legendary World Superbike Champion withmore race wins than any rider in history, Rea’s trailblazing success shows no sign of slowing down.Now, for the first time, this remarkable sportsman tracks his life and career. Seemingly destined for the racing world, Jonathan grew up in the paddocks — his grandfather was the first sponsor of five-times World Champion Joey Dunlop and his dad was a former Isle of Man TT winner. He owned his first bike before his hands were big enough to reach the brakes.But while racing may be in his blood, it is through sheer determination and relentless perseverance that Rea has gained huge victories in this ultra-competitive world. Topping several of the most prestigious motorcycling championships, he rules the sport — so much so that regulations are being introduced to curb his dominance. The fact that Rea has endured several potentially career-ending scrapes — including smashing his femur at the age ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Emmy-nominated host of Netflix’s Queer Eye follows up his New York Times-bestselling memoir, Over The Top, with this collection of thought-provoking essays on grief and healing, cannabis reform, LGBTQIA+ rights, imposter syndrome, personal style, the HIV safety net, and of, course, how to make your hairdresser love you.In his New York Times-bestselling memoir Over the Top, Jonathan van Ness showed readers how the incredibly difficult moments from his life (surviving sexual abuse and addiction, being diagnosed with HIV) have existed alongside great joy and positivity (landing a breakout role on Netflix’s Queer Eye, becoming an amateur figure skater and professional standup comedian, doting on his five cats).If Jonathan learned anything from the painful life experiences, it’s that in order to thrive, he needed to push past the shame and fear of being his true self, which meant getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. In this candid and curious essay collection, he takes a thoughtful, in-depth look at today’s hot-button issues, viewed through the lens of his personal experience. From the evolution of his signature style to an investigative report on the queer history of his hometown, Jonathan reflects on his life and how he has learned to embrace change—doing the ...

Two Brothers tells the story of a great sporting family, uncovering new details, exposing myths and placing Jack and Bobby Charlton in their historical context. It''s a book about two English footballers but also about English football and England itself. In later life Jack and Bobby didn''t get on and barely spoke but the lives of these very different brothers from the coalfield tell the story of late twentieth-century English football: the tensions between flair and industry, between individuality and the collective, between right and left, between middle- and working-classes, between exile and home. Jack was open, charismatic, selfish and pig-headed; Bobby was guarded, shy, polite and reserved to the point of reclusiveness. They were very different footballers: Jack a gangling central defender who developed a profound tactical intelligence; Bobby an athletic attacking midfielder who disdained systems. They played for clubs who embodied two very different approaches, the familial closeness and tactical cohesion of Leeds on the one hand and the individualistic flair and clashing egos of Manchester United on the other. Both enjoyed great success as players: Jack won a league, a Cup and two Fairs Cups with Leeds; Bobby won a league title, survived the terrible disaster of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Dostává se vám do rukou přetisk již skoro sto let starého vydání spisu „Pogrom proti Ukrajincům v Polsku“, který se mi shodou okolností dostal do rukou, když jsem pátral po dílech jednoho ukrajinského vlasteneckého spisovatele, který žil v Československu.Když jsem si spis prostudoval, doplnil jsem si nejen mi již známé skutečnosti o problematickém soužití Poláků a Ukrajinců za vlády polského faktického diktátora a generála Józefa Piłsudského v Druhé polské republice, ale zároveň jsem se dověděl i nové skutečnosti, jež dokreslují složitou, mnohdy i brutálně násilnou genezi vztahu Poláků a Ukrajinců.O zločinech páchaných ukrajinskými nacionalisty na Polácích či Češích, Rusínech, židech apod. se v češtině dočteme v mnoha knihách, ale o tom, že existovalo brutální násilí i z druhé strany – ze strany polských nacionalistů a polského státu – se u nás prakticky nedočteme. Proto jsem se rozhodl tuto publikaci znovu vydat, abych ukázal nejen toto pro českého čtenáře neznámé téma ukrajinsko-polské historie, ale zároveň chci připomenout, kam může vést vypjatý nacionalismus a neochota tolerovat odlišnou kulturu svých sousedů.Připomeňme si myšlenku prvního československého prezidenta Masaryka, že „vlastenectví je láska k vlastnímu národu, nikoli nenávist k jiným.“Tato myšlenka pozitivního nacionalismu nenašla obdobné vzory ani v nacionalismu polském, ani ukrajinském, a oba nacionalismy ...

Autorem arménské kroniky a cestopisu z počátku 17. století je Šimon Polský (arm. Simeon Lehaci), který pocházel z arménské diaspory v Polsku. V letech 1608-1618 podnikl několik cest po východní a jižní Evropě a po Osmanské říši s cílem navštívit slavná poutní místa (Řím, Jeruzalém) a zmapovat oblasti arménského osídlení (tj. zejména ve východní Anatolii). Vedle detailních zápisků z cest zanechal i soubor kolofonů čili historických glos, které poskytují zajímavý pohled do dějin východní Evropy a jejích jižních sousedů. Šimon popisuje zejména život východoevropských a osmanských arménských komunit a jejich kontakty s bezprostředními sousedy, s Asyřany, Řeky, Gruzíny, Kurdy, Turky, Židy aj., a jeho dílo obsahuje detailní popisy každodenního života v tehdejším Istanbulu, Káhiře, Jeruzalémě či Lvově. Mj. byl současníkem polsko-osmanských válek a velmi cenná je také jeho regionální sonda týkající se tehdejší situace ve východní Anatolii, která zahrnuje informace o probíhajících válkách mezi osmanskými sultány a perskými šáhy a o následných sociálních bouřích.Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

Co se to u vás děje? - ptá se znalec polských poměrů Petr Janyška jedenácti Polek a Poláků v ojedinělé knize o Polsku za vlády strany Právo a spravedlnost v letech 2015-2023. Přináší bezprostřední svědectví o tom, jak hlubokou propast mezi Poláky vytvořilo osm let mocenské hry Jarosława Kaczyńského. Každý z rozhovorů vykresluje spletitou pavučinu, kterou bude muset nová vláda rozmotat, aby Polsko vrátila z postupného propadání do autoritářského režimu zpět do demokratických poměrů a do evropského hlavního proudu, kam svou velikostí patří. Upozorňují také na nebezpečí, že pokud se jí to nepodaří, může se Polsko během několik let proměnit ve velmi nepříjemného souseda, jemuž nebude záležet na spolupráci, ale bude hledat nepřítele, viníka všech domácích potíží. Otevřeně a nebojácně mluví o plíživém převratu ve své zemi bývalý prezident Lech Wałęsa, filmařka Agnieszka Holland, novinář Adam Michnik a další.

Kniha se zabývá vztahy mezi středoevropskou Polskou sjednocenou dělnickou stranou (PZPR) respektive Polskem a západoevropskou Francouzskou komunistickou stranou (PCF) v krizovém roce 1956. Ukazuje, že vztahy byly do velké míry ovlivňovány obrazy, které si strany vzájemně vytvářely jedna o druhé, či které si francouzští komunisté vytvářeli o Polsku. Zatímco v případě PZPR se jednalo o vládnoucí stranu lidové demokracie východního bloku, PCF byla nevládní, avšak silná a vlivná strana v zemi západního bloku. Analyzovat vztahy komunistických stran Polska a Francie v roce 1956 však není zajímavé pouze z hlediska propojení západního a východního bloku, ale především z pohledu rozdílných přístupů k Chruščovově politice částečné destalinizace.

''A beautiful, compelling memoir . . . This, Raban''s final work, is a gorgeous achievement" – Ian McEwanOn 11 June 2011, three days short of his sixty-ninth birthday, Jonathan Raban suffered a stroke which left him unable to use the right side of his body. Learning to use a wheelchair in a rehab facility outside Seattle and resisting the ministrations of the nurses overseeing his recovery, Raban began to reflect upon the measure of his own life in the face of his own mortality. Together with the chronicle of his recovery is the extraordinary story of his parents’ marriage, the early years of which were conducted by letter while his father fought in the Second World War.Jonathan Raban engages profoundly and candidly with some of the biggest questions at the heart of what it means to be alive, laying bare the human capacity to withstand trauma, as well as the warmth, strength, and humour that persist despite it. Father and Son, the final work from the peerless man of letters, is a tremendous, continent-sweeping story of love and resilience in the face of immense loss.
