From the bestselling author of Fatherland, The Ghostwriter, Munich, and Conclave comes this spellbinding historical novel that brilliant imagines one of the greatest manhunts in history: the search for two Englishmen involved in the killing of King Charles I and the implacable foe on their trail—an epic journey into the wilds of seventeeth-century New England, and a chase like no other 'From what is it they flee?' He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, “They killed the King.” 1660 England. General Edward Whalley and his son-in law Colonel William Goffe board a ship bound for the New World. They are on the run, wanted for the murder of King Charles I—a brazen execution that marked the culmination of the English Civil War, in which parliamentarians successfully battled royalists for control. But now, ten years after Charles’ beheading, the royalists have returned to power. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, the fifty-nine men who signed the king’s death warrant and participated in his execution have been found guilty in absentia of high treason. Some of the Roundheads, including Oliver Cromwell, are already dead. Others have been captured, hung, drawn, and quartered. A few are imprisoned for life. But two have escaped to America by boat. In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is charged with bringing the traitors to justice and he will stop at nothing to find them. A substantial bounty hangs over their heads for their capture—dead or alive. . . . Robert Harris’s first historical novel set predominantly in America, Act of Oblivion is a novel with an urgent narrative, remarkable characters, and an epic true story to tell of religion, vengeance, and power—and the costs to those who wield it.

Audiokniha: „Žádný duševně zdravý člověk se nemůže chtít stát papežem.“ Kardinála Lomeliho čeká mimořádně náročný úkol. Poté co si Svatého otce k sobě povolal Bůh, je na něm, aby se jako děkan kolegia kardinálů chopil organizace konkláve, jež světu oznámí jméno příštího Kristova náměstka na zemi. Za tímto účelem do Vatikánu dorazí sto sedmnáct kardinálů s hlasovacím právem – vlastně sto osmnáct, protože o existenci tajně jmenovaného bagdádského arcibiskupa Beníteze dosud věděl pouze zesnulý pontifik. Jak jeho přítomnost v Sixtinské kapli ovlivní komplikované vyjednávání o budoucí hlavě katolické církve? Odnese si klíče svatého Petra některý z favorizovaných kardinálů, stojících v čele jednotlivých frakcí: liberální intelektuál Bellini, všehoschopný kariérista Tremblay, charismatický revolucionář Adeyemi, obávaný tradicionalista Tedesco? A jakou roli v ostře sledované volbě nakonec sehraje pochybnostmi zmítaný Lomeli? Jisté je pouze to, že nikdo z kandidátů není dokonalý, každý cosi skrývá, ba i hříchy… Dramatický příběh ze zákulisí nejsledovanější volby světa se v říjnu 2024 dočkal filmové adaptace s Ralphem Fiennesem v hlavní roli. „Robert Harris provedl důkladné rešerše, a přestože nepřekračuje hranice fikce, nerozpakuje se román zasadit do ryzí současnosti, čímž umocňuje napětí.“ – The New York Times „Poučné čtení pro všechny, kdo se zajímají o to, jak katolická církev funguje uvnitř. Pro čtenáře vyhledávající díla tohoto specifického žánru pak čirá slast.“ – Kirkus Reviews „Zaletěl pohledem podél čtyř široce oddělených řad sedadel. Tváře moudré, znuděné, prostoupené náboženským vytržením, jeden kardinál spal. Takhle si představoval, že mohli vypadat senátoři v tógách ve starověkém Římě za časů republiky. Povšiml si vůdčích kandidátů – Belliniho, Tedesca, Adeyemiho, Tremblaye – seděli odděleně, každý zabraný do vlastních myšlenek, a jeho překvapilo, jak nedokonalý, nahodilý, lidmi vytvořený nástroj konkláve je. Nemělo žádný základ v Písmu svatém. V textu nikde nestálo, že by Bůh stvořil kardinály. Jak zapadali do svatopavelského obrazu Jeho církve jako živoucího těla?“ – ukázka z knihy

‘On Skellig Michael, thousands of birds appear and disappear, erecting towers, coming together in wings of movement which build and unravel over the empty sea. Often, no one else is there to stand beside me on the island. The mind wanders; links with the past are easily made; ancient ways of viewing things come alive.’In 1987 Robert Harris happened upon an unusual job advert in The Kerryman – a new warden service was being set up on Skellig Michael, and the deadline was imminent. Just weeks later he was on his way to set up camp in one of Ireland’s most remote locations, unaware that he would be making that same journey every May for the next 30 years.Here he transports us to the otherworldly island, a place that is teeming with natural life, including curious puffins that like to visit his hut. From the precipice he has observed a coastline that is relatively unchanged for the last thousand years – a beacon of equilibrium in an ever-changing world.But the island can be fierce too. Inhabitable only for five months of the year, solitude can quickly become isolation as bad weather rolls in to create a veil between Skellig Michael and the rest of the world, when the dizzying terrain can become a very real threat to life.Returning Light is an extraordinary memoir about the profound effect a place can have on us, and how a remote location can bring with it a great sense of belonging.

Píše se rok 1468. Mladý kněz Christopher Fairfax přijíždí do odlehlé vesnice ve Wessexu, aby vykonal pohřeb tamního faráře. Země v okolí je posetá starými artefakty – mincemi, úlomky skla, lidskými kostmi - které starý farář sbíral. Nevedla tato posedlost k jeho smrti? Fairfax se rozhoduje odhalit pravdu. V průběhu příštích šesti dnů bude vše, čemu věří, podrobeno zničující zkoušce. Poslední spánek je postapokalyptický román s nečekaným zvratem. Příběh se odehrává v budoucnosti, nikoli v minulosti. Dozvídáme se, že kolem roku 2025 se spletitě propojená globální společnost, o které dnes uvažujeme jako o čemsi naprosto samozřejmém, totálně zhroutila. Jak? Důvodů se nabízí víc. Mezi zbytky těch, kdo přežili, přinejmenším v Británii, se vynořil nový společenský řád pod vedením katolické církve. V novém kalendáři těchto lidí se rok 2025 stává rokem 666 (podle biblické „číslice šelmy“, jak je popsáno ve Zjevení Janově 13:15-18). Rok 1468 je tudíž od současnosti vzdálen do budoucnosti o více než 800 let. V Posledním spánku Harris zkoumá svět, který je neznámý a starý, a zároveň poukazuje na důsledky našeho flagrantního ignorování současných existenciálních nebezpečí. Staví nás do jádra záhady. Katastrofa, která postihla svět, je důsledkem naší chamtivosti a ctižádostivosti, naší arogance. Zodpovědní jsme za to my všichni…

This second edition of Alison E. Cooley''s accessible introduction to Pompeii takes into account the major new theories and discoveries that have emerged since the first edition was published 20 years ago. Italy''s third most popular tourist destination, Pompeii attracts millions of visitors each year, and images of the town are familiar all around the world. However, even today our picture of the site is being impacted by new archaeological discoveries. This book focuses particularly on the date of the eruption, the natural environment of Pompeii, the recovery of skeletal remains and plaster casts, and Pompeii in the popular imagination. In addition, three new chapters look at the popularization of Pompeii, archaeological reconstruction of the Roman town, and how we know what we know about the people who lived there. The technological advances of the 20th and 21st centuries have transformed our understanding of the urban environment of Pompeii, raising new questions even as they dig ever deeper into the surviving material evidence. This volume offers a succinct and insightful exploration of the impact of these scientific and archaeological innovations, as well as that of contemporary politics, upon interpretations of Pompeii over the last 250 years, including the ways in which advances in volcanology have transformed our picture of its last moments.

With excavations in progress for more than 250 years, it is also the subject of the world''s longest-running archaeological dig. And yet in some ways we know less about Pompeii than we do about many other Roman sites. Because the city is so well preserved, excavations have concentrated upon exposing the remains of AD 79, and the earlier levels have been neglected. Only in recent years has a serious effort been made to trace the history of the city back to its beginnings more than seven centuries before it entombment.This book differs from previous studies in placing an emphasis on Pompeii''s history. Using the evidence of the latest archaeological research, the author traces the evolution of the city from its origins as a small Oscan or Etruscan settlement of the seventh and sixth centuries BC to a flourishing urban centre of the early Roman Empire. Further chapters survey aspects of the life of the city in its last years and recount the story of its disappearance and rediscovery.

Where does business come from? That''s the question every real estate agent asks but few have a truthful answer for. In an industry constantly selling the ''easy button'' and overrun with shiny widgets, agents are pulled in multiple directions at once, each promising that if they ''just do this,'' their dreams of success and fortune will come true. After 20 years in the business, thousands of home sales, and hundreds of thousands of coaching calls, Tim and Julie Harris tell the hard truths about what it really takes to make it in real estate. The new, revised edition of Harris Rules outlines specific, actionable, and proven rules of engagement that any agent -- rookie or veteran -- can count on as they pursue their real-estate funded goals and dreams. Harris Rules lays the groundwork, beginning with how agents need to think about the business. Moving them forward with a step-by-step action plan, Tim and Julie show agents how to create longevity by scaling the business and then teach them how to monetize it. In this book, you''ll learn: - How to control your mindset to get more things done, even when you don''t ''feel'' like it; - The ideal schedule of a top-producing agent and how to focus it on what matters, profit; - Why you can''t rely on only one method of generating leads; - How to use the proven Seven-Step Listing Process to win the listing virtually every time; - How to really achieve financial freedom. With all-new case studies, resources, and Q&As for the highly motivated agent, Harris Rules covers tricky topics with much-needed frankness: making a profit, why having a team isn''t the ''golden calf,'' gaining multiple lead sources (that you don''t have to pay for!), focusing on listings, and the fact that repetitious boredom does pay off. Tim and Julie will tell you the truth: Harris Rules is the savvy agent''s all-inclusive, no-BS guide to succeed in real estate.

In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the centre of Harris Reed’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Harris’s work constantly disrupts the divide between men''s and women''s clothing. His pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé—and with each piece he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris''s design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, reasoning that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Harris Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.

Discover never-before-told details of POW underground operations during the Vietnam War told through one airman''s inspiring story of true love, honor, and courage.Air Force pilot Captain Carlyle "Smitty" Harris was shot down over Vietnam on April 4, 1965 and taken to the infamous Hoa Lo prison--nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton." For the next eight years, Smitty and hundreds of other American POWs--including John McCain and George "Bud" Day--suffered torture, solitary confinement, and unimaginable abuse.It was there that Smitty covertly taught many other POWs the Tap Code--an old, long-unused method of communication from World War II. Using the code, they could softly tap messages of encouragement to lonely neighbors and pass along resistance policies from their leaders. The code quickly became a lifeline during their internment. It helped the prisoners boost morale, stay unified, communicate the chain of command, and prevail over a brutal enemy.Meanwhile, back home in the United States, Harris''s wife, Louise, raised their three children alone, unsure of her husband''s fate for seven long years. One of the first POW wives of the Vietnam War, she became a role model for other military wives by advocating for herself and her children in her husband''s absence.Told through both Smitty''s and Louise''s voices, Tap Code shares the riveting true story of:Ingenuity under pressureStrength and dignity in the face of a frightening enemyThe hope, faith, and resolve necessary to endure even the darkest circumstancesPraise for Tap Code:"Tap Code is an incredible story about two American heroes. Col. "Smitty" Harris and his wife, Louise, epitomize the definition of commitment--to God, to country, and to family. This tale of extreme perseverance will restore your faith in the human spirit."--Brigadier General John Nichols, USAF"The incomprehensibly long ordeal of the Harris family is agonizing. Their love, faith, loyalty, and courage epitomize all that is good about America."--Lt. Col. Orson Swindle, USMC (ret.), POW, Hanoi, 11/11/1966 to 3/4/1973

**THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD** In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning classic that changed the way we look at meditation.''A sceptic''s guide to meditation . . . I loved it'' - Ruby Wax''An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite a personal look at the benefits of meditation'' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love We all have an inner narrator. It''s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our emails compulsively, eating when we''re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume we''re stuck with this voice - but Dan Harris stumbled upon an effective way to quiet his mind.After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head. 10% Happier is considered a classic text on the power of meditation and an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened sceptic. This 10th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Dan Harris and a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to build a meditation habit.
