''Prague Spring is a wonderfully atmospheric portrait of the city as well as a political and historical thriller with dashes of espionage. It is as brilliant as anything he has written, which is saying a lot'' The TimesIt''s the summer of 1968, the year of love and hate, of Prague Spring and Cold War winter. Two English students, Ellie and James, set off to hitch-hike across Europe with no particular aim in mind but a continent, and themselves, to discover. Somewhere in southern Germany they decide, on a whim, to visit Czechoslovakia where Alexander Dubcek''s ''socialism with a human face'' is smiling on the world.Meanwhile Sam Wareham, a first secretary at the British embassy in Prague, is observing developments in the country with a mixture of diplomatic cynicism and a young man''s passion. In the company of Czech student Lenka Konecková, he finds a way into the world of Czechoslovak youth, its hopes and its ideas. It seems that, for the first time, nothing is off limits behind the Iron Curtain.Yet the wheels of politics are grinding in the background.

Audiokniha: V lásce a ve válce je dovoleno vše: milovat i zrazovat. A platí to zjevně také o víře.Evropa přestála světovou i studenou válku a čile směřuje k miléniu, které v dějinách zatím vždycky hýbalo zatuhlými pořádky. Katolický duchovní Leo Newman už však tou dobou není zrovna zářným reprezentantem dogmat domovského Říma. Prošel si stravující láskou k vdané ženě, jež pro něj byla nedostupná nejen vzhledem k jeho kněžskému stavu, a jeho vztah k víře je nyní dost vlažný. I v médiích blízkých Vatikánu se propírá Leovo „odpadlictví“, byť jeho literární stvořitel Simon Mawer dokládá, že pro zbloudilé Marie Magdalény nacházel a pořád nachází víc křesťanské milosti než jeho biskupští představení. Ostatně vše nasvědčuje tomu, že i sama Církev svatá tuší, komu by bylo vhodné svěřit jisté značně ošemetné vědecké poslání.Když je Leo jakožto specialista na starořečtinu povolán přezkoumat jazykovou pravost části papyrů z En-Moru u Mrtvého moře, pocházejících nejspíš z prvního století našeho letopočtu, učiní ohromující objev. Coby páté a nejstarší evangelium o Ježíšově životě je zřejmě sepsal odpadlík z apoštolské družiny – Jidáš Iškariotský, jenž svého učitele před ukřižováním zradil. Zejména náhled na Kristovo zmrtvýchvstání, zahrnutý do svitků, by otřásl přesvědčením stovek milionů věřících. A tak hrdina stojí ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Nikdo není jen zápis v matriční kolonce. Jako tvorové z masa a kostí cítíme, že s dějinami, které nás tam vmáčkly, je cosi v nepořádku… Literární světoběžník, jehož nadšení děním v zemi uprostřed Evropy okouzlilo i naše čtenáře, se v románové novince zasazené do nejtužší éry viktoriánské Anglie zdánlivě obrací proti všemu, co zatím napsal. A přece je to nezaměnitelně on. Simon Mawer sloučil suchopárné záznamy obecních matrik i vzácné snímky z ohmataných rodinných fotoalb do elegie o tom, co biologové jako on obvykle pojmenovávají takto: inteligence každého organismu souvisí přímo úměrně s jeho schopností přizpůsobit se nepřátelským životním podmínkám. A dokládá to na osudech prapředků v genealogickém směru „po meči“ i „po přeslici“. Ať už tedy v jeho uhrančivém převyprávění sledujeme dickensovský zápal sirotka, jenž tolik toužil plavit se po mořích, trauma švadlenky, co ve víru velkoměsta otěhotněla s hejskem, anebo drama rodiny mladého vojáka z povolání, kterou rozdělila britská účast v bojích krymské války, výsledkem je to, že jejich nejbližší jsou nuceni protloukat se pouze díky blahosklonnosti elit hledících na ně spatra.

Rob and Jamie are great friends from childhood. They have grown up together and become top climbers, but have since become estranged. Rob is nevertheless amazed and grief-stricken when he hears of Jamie''s death after a fall on a relatively easy Welsh rockface. The past, though, hides the secret clues behind the tragedy. Layer by layer Simon Mawer peels back what happened, going not only into the friends'' childhoods but that of their parents - who were also intimate. And there is no escaping that past - vividly imagined scenes in the London of the Blitz reveal how through two generations Rob and Jamie and their respective parents have been addicted - to desire and the heady dangers of climbing. Brilliantly structured as we move from past to present and back again, this novel will make Simon Mawer''s literary reputation.

V kronikách najdeme data, v muzeích předměty. Kde jsou ale skutečné emoce? Simon Mawer je hledá v příbězích. Z kusých informací o svých předcích vytvořil strhující románovou mozaiku a dal hlas obyčejným lidem 19. století: sirotkovi ze Suffolku, který touží vyplout na moře, švadlence snící o novém životě v Londýně, vojákovi, který si před vypuknutím krymské války bere svou vyvolenou. Dějiny v Mawerově podání nejsou šedým monolitem, ale pestrou vitráží, díky níž můžeme uvidět vlastní život v novém světle.

This monograph provides a deeper insight into the work of two contemporary British novelists, Jim Crace and Simon Mawer, with a particular emphasis on their spatial sensibility as one of the defining elements of their poetics. Drawing on a range of literary-theoretical approaches to space, the study analyses selected novels by the two writers to demonstrate the ways in which they render space and place and, above all, the ways in which their spatial representations allow them to express the key ideas behind their stories, namely those of identity, history, and the relationship between an individual and the environment in which they live.

The 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia brought an end to the Prague Spring and its promise of socialism with a human face. Before the invasion, Czech reformers had made unexpected use of television to advance political and social change. In its aftermath, Communist Party leaders employed the medium to achieve normalization, pitching television stars against political dissidents in a televised spectacle that defined the times. The Greengrocer and His TV offers a new cultural history of communism from the Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution that reveals how state-endorsed ideologies were played out on television, particularly through soap opera-like serials. In focusing on the small screen, Paulina Bren looks to the normal of normalization, to the everyday experience of late communism.

An ''utterly gripping'' tale of love and espionage in Occupied France by the Man Booker Prize shortlisted author of The Glass Room (Daily Mail)Marian Sutro is an outsider: the daughter of a diplomat, brought up on the shores of Lake Geneva and in England, half French, half British, naive yet too clever for her own good. But when she is recruited from her desk job by SOE, the Special Operations Executive, to go undercover in wartime France, it seems her hybrid status - and fluent French - will be of service to a greater, more dangerous cause.Trained in sabotage, dead-drops, how to perform under interrogation and how to kill, Marian parachutes into south-west France, her official mission to act as a Resistance courier. But her real destination is Paris, where she must seek out family friend Clément Pelletier, once the focus of her adolescent desires. A nuclear physicist engaged in the race for a new and terrifying weapon, he is of urgent significance to her superiors. As she struggles through the strange, lethal landscape of the Occupation towards this reunion, what completes her training is the understanding that war changes everything, and neither love nor fatherland may be trusted.''There are ...

Perfect for fans of Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada and The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Simon Mawer - tightly plotted, emotionally gripping and a brilliant sense of place and period. Berlin, 1946. Everything is in short supply. Including the truth. The war is over, but Berlin is a desolate sea of rubble. There is a shortage of everything: food, clothing, tobacco. The local population is scrabbling to get by. Kasper Meier is one of these Germans, and his solution is to trade on the black market to feed himself and his elderly father. He can find anything that people need, for the right price. Even other people. When a young woman, Eva, arrives at Kasper's door seeking the whereabouts of a British pilot, he feels a reluctant sympathy for her but won't interfere in military affairs. But Eva is prepared for this. Kasper has secrets, she knows them, and she'll use them to get what she wants.

„Book „The Vedute of Prague“ describes the development of Prague cityscape in the period of last 5 centuries and emphasizes future possible scenarios how the city composition could be continuously developed in the 21st century,“ comments the content of the book Roman Koucký, the co-author of the book and the chief of the Metropolitan plan office, that prepares new urban plan of Prague, called Metropolitan plan.The overall visual composition of the city forms a significant part of its identity and the collective mental “city image”. The layered and diverse composition of the city “from medieval times up to now” is, as emphasized in the book’s first chapter, the reason for Prague’s inscription in the prestigious UNESCO Register of World Cultural Heritage. The second chapter describes how it is not only possible but indeed necessary to read the contemporary city/metropolis, and what to emphasis in supplementing its composition. The third chapter is a brief history of the formulation of Prague’s historic urban landscape, particularly in the turbulent 20th century, and an outline of a possible solution for its further development based on the Metropolitan Plan.

There was a battle for Czechoslovak Radio in the Vinohrady quarter of Prague. Czech patriots were executed in Kobylisy, Prague. Dissidents were detained at Ruzyně in Prague. A Reich Protector was assassinated in Prague. And neighborhoods like Smíchov, Karlín and Libeň, once industrial areas, recorded the history of the Industrial Age - a time when poverty was intertwined with achievement, progress, and hope for a better future.

As Prague settles into the European Union club, its rebirth as a vibrant Western-style city continues to blossom, with the traces of East bloc communism increasingly hard to uncover. But the City of 100 Spires is also returning to its roots as a decadent, jubilant place that made the word bohemia into a common noun. The smoky jazz clubs, rowdy, cruisy bars and stunning symphony halls have been restored to the spirit and role they once served. And it's fast making up for lost time with local designers and artists creating confrontational work at dozens of galleries while the frisson of the Cold War remains in Soviet-era meat shops and chilling monuments. *Sightseeing in Prague *Prague hotels *Prague restaurants *Prague bars *Prague shops *Prague maps

Prague in the early twentieth century was the city of cubists, surrealists, and the Good Soldier vejk. This book takes a new approach to interwar Prague by identifying religion as an integral part of the city s cultural history. As Prague emerged as a modern city and the Czech nation gained independence, Catholics, Protestants, and those who imagined a non-sectarian religion debated questions of faith and morality. Contrary to the conventional view of modern Czech elites as atheistic, Berglund shows how they were deeply concerned with the place of religion in modern life. Based upon a wide array of sources, the monograph explores the linkages between politics, theology, and architecture in the building of new symbols and a civil religion for the first Czechoslovak republic (1918-1938). Berglund views the contest of the sacred and secular in Prague within the broader context of religious change in twentieth-century Europe. His book lays a foundation for understanding both Czech culture of the interwar period as well as the nation s and Europe s religious history in the modern age. The author takes an approach that is both interdisciplinary and biographical by focusing on important figures in the politics and culture of interwar Prague, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The spirit of Prague is difficult to describe, although many have tried. For artists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the city was a black temptress hidden in the négligé of the white mists of the Vltava, a tempting and treacherous woman, a capricious harlot - a dark Salome who dances with the heads of her paramours. In 1902 the French sculptor Auguste Rodin said that Prague is one of the most sublime cities. Approximately thirty years later another Frenchman, the poet André Breton, proclaimed that Prague was the magic capital of old Europe. And in his celebrated book Magic Prague, written in the latter half of the 20th century, the Italian academic Angelo Maria Ripellino wrote when I seek another word for mystery, the only word I can find is Prague. And he described the city as a breeding ground for phantoms, an arena of sorcery … It is a trap which - once it takes hold with its mists, its black arts, its poisoned honey - does not let go, does not forgive.
