''Priestdaddy caused a sensation when it hit bookshelves in 2017'' Vogue ''Glorious'' Sunday Times''Laugh-out-loud funny'' The Times''Extraordinary'' Observer''Exceptional'' Telegraph''Electric'' New York Times''Snort-out-loud'' Financial Times''Dazzling'' Guardian''Do yourself a favour and read this memoir!'' BookPageWINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOURThe childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed ''The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas'' by The New York Times, was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange riddles and arnings of impending danger. Above all, there was her gun-toting, guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine and found a loophole which saw him approved for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI, despite already having a wife and children.When an unexpected crisis forces Lockwood and her husband to move back into her parents'' rectory, she must learn to live again with the family''s simmering madness, and to reckon with the dark side of her religious upbringing. Pivoting from the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the serious, Priestdaddy is an unforgettable story of how we balance tradition against hard-won identity - and of how, having journeyed in the underworld, we can emerge with our levity and our sense of justice intact.''Destined to be a classic . . . this year''s must-read memoir'' Mary Karr, author of The Liars'' Club''Irrepressible . . . joyous, funny and filthy . . .

‘Important, comprehensive, and superbly researched. All the more urgent at the present time’ BART VAN ES''A terrific, clear-eyed and balanced history that cuts through today’s toxic debates'' DAILY TELEGRAPHHow have those who arrived on Britain’s shores shaped its history?Refugees seeking to reach Britain today often face perilous journeys, impossible bureaucracy and acidic public opinion. But this hasn’t always been the way. For most of our history, Great Britain cherished its outward image as a safe haven for those displaced by religious persecution, political violence or economic crisis – an island of stability in the midst of a violent world.In This Land of Promise, migration scholar Matthew Lockwood overturns many popular modern-day misconceptions about Britain’s history of immigration. Exiles and refugees have been not only a constant presence in Britain across the centuries but also intrinsic to shaping Britain as it is today. This is a profoundly moving and illuminating history, told through the people who lived it: Frederick Douglass and the formerly enslaved men who followed in his footsteps, fleeing America on the hopes of kinder cultures. Little girls like Liesl Ornstein, who discovered they were Jewish only when Hitler took Austria, who were sent to England and told to call themselves ‘Elizabeth’. Sun Yat-sen, who found sanctuary in London – a brief abduction aside – before becoming the father of modern China. Freddie Mercury, who at every turn tried to shake Zanzibar from his bones.Almost every time, we see when we look back, Britain has not been an island refuge from the world, but an island refuge for the world. Not a country burdened by refugees, but instead transformed and strengthened by them.

For the past forty years, Richard Koch has worked to uncover simple and elegant principles which govern business success. To qualify, a principle must be so overwhelmingly powerful that anyone can reliably apply it to generate extraordinary results. Working with venture capitalist Greg Lockwood and supported by specially commissioned research from OC&C Strategy Consultants, Koch has now found one elemental principle that unites extraordinarily valuable companies: simplifying. Some firms simplify on price - consider budget flights stripped of all extras that still take you from A to B - creating new, huge mass markets for their wares. Others, such as Apple, simplify their proposition, bringing a beautifully easy-to-use product or service to a large premium market. How can your business become a simplifier? With case studies of some of the most famous firms of the last hundred years, from finance to fast food, this enlightening book shows how to analyse any company's potential to simplify, and enrich the world.

Patricia Highsmithová - 5x Tom Ripley. Nenávidí zločin, pokud ho k němu jeho ctižádost nedonutí. Audioverze úspěšných detektivních románů Patricie Highsmithové. První román s postavou Toma Ripleyho vydala Patricia Highsmithová v roce 1955 a dala mu název, pod nímž by si čtenář mohl spíše představit životopisnou knihu o nějakém neznámém umělci než detektivku. Talentovaný pan Ripley. Už ten název byl ironickou provokací autorky, která svým životem, názory a skutky provokovala, ba někdy šokovala své okolí. Ty talenty, kterými oplýval malý podvodníček Tom táhnoucí svou bezvýznamnou existenci ze dne na den v ušmudlaném newyorském podnájmu, nebyly totiž žádné povznášející a ušlechtilé schopnosti. Naopak, jestli Tom v něčem skutečně vynikne, pak je to lež, přetvářka, cynismus a zločin. Highsmithová svého antihrdinu provede postupnou proměnou: ze zamindrákovaného mladíčka se vyklube prohnaný parazit šikovně využívající svou známost s mladíkem z milionářských kruhů, posléze nelítostný zločinec vraždící s rozmyslem a z prospěchu a nakonec hotový mistr převleku, který bez sebemenších potíží falšuje svoji identitu. Kdysi toužil po kariéře herce a nyní může konečně svou touhu uskutečnit, s tím rozdílem, že jevištěm je mu sám život. Romány s Tomem Ripleym nejsou detektivky v pravém slova smyslu, ale spíše příběhy o zločinu. Highsmithová nadaná uměním psychologizace, jímž se blíží velkým autorům ?vážné? literatury, nám umožňuje nahlédnout do mysli a pohnutek pachatele, pro něhož je zlo přirozeným vyjádřením vlastní existence. A pokud je pravda, že každý z nás má ke zlu sklony, je rozhodně lepší prožít je nyní v kůži Toma Ripleyho a ty své uzavřít na sto zámků.

Audiokniha: „Bylo mi třináct a prvně v životě jsem měl pouta a ruce za zády.“ Předsudky, rasismus, šikana a divoká devadesátá léta. Novinář Patrik Banga vyrůstal v romské komunitě na pražském Žižkově, kde lidé se stejnými kořeny sdíleli dlouho do noci radost ze skvělé hudby, ale také neutěšené existenční podmínky a násilí, které člověka provázelo, i když se mu vyhýbal. Žít na takovém místě znamenalo dostat nálepku nepřizpůsobivého a cesta ven se zvlášť v dobách společenské transformace, kdy empatie k Romům chyběla v médiích i mezi lidmi, hledala těžko. Někdy však mohla vést i dost nečekanými směry – přes práci v organizaci Sananim až k humanitární misi na území bývalé Jugoslávie. Autorovo osobní vyprávění provázejí písně kapely Trio Romano, kde si vedle Petra Horváta zahráli i bratři Patrik a Gyulla Bangovi. „Skutečná cesta ven si nehraje na neutralitu a vyváženost; Banga v ní oprávněně ventiluje svůj vztek na ty, kteří mu způsobili bezpráví, aniž by existovala nějaká reálná možnost, jak jej odčinit. Text tak dobře slouží jako určité zrcadlo, černé svědomí polistopadové společnosti. Rasistické vraždy, od nichž česká společnost odvracela zrak, davy nazi skinheadů, kteří zabíjeli Romy a cizince a právní řád to vnímal jako výtržnictví. Síla knihy je tedy zejména v autentičnosti svědectví o věcech, které si bílý příslušník střední třídy možná ani nedokáže představit.“ – Filip Šimeček, LaCultura.cz. Šli jsme pěšky z Počernic na Žižkov. Zbití a ubrečení. A hlavně s vědomím, že každej policajt nás může beztrestně zmlátit, kdykoli se mu zamane. Integrace nemožná, my žádná práva nemáme. – ukázka z textu

''This is one of those special books . . . Even if it were only a book about eels, it would be wonderful.'' - Sunday Times''I never thought I would see myself in an eel, until I read Svensson’s beautiful book, in which he anthropomorphizes eels and shows how mysterious they are, and how little we know about them. It’s a beautiful book that makes you realize that the eel is our cousin — we are the eel, and the eel is us.'' - Michaela Coel’I can’t recall us ever talking about anything other than eels and how to best catch them, down there by the stream. Actually, I can’t remember us speaking at all. Maybe because we never did.’The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is one of the strangest creatures nature ever created. Remarkably little is known about the eel, even today. What we do know is that it’s born as a tiny willow-leaf shaped larva in the Sargasso Sea, travels on the ocean currents toward the coasts of Europe – a journey of about four thousand miles that takes at least two years. Upon arrival, it transforms itself into a glass eel and then into a yellow eel before it wanders up into fresh water. It lives a solitary life, hiding from both light and science, for ten, twenty, fifty years, before migrating back to the sea in the autumn, morphing into a silver eel and swimming all the way back to the Sargasso Sea, where it breeds and dies.And yet . . . There is still so much we don’t know about eels. No human has ever seen eels reproduce; no one can give a complete account of the eel’s metamorphoses or say why they are born and die in the Sargasso Sea; no human has even seen a mature eel in the Sargasso Sea. Ever. And now the eel is disappearing, and we don’t know exactly why.What we do know is that eels and their mysterious lives captivate us.This is the basis for The Gospel of the Eels, Patrik Svensson’s quite unique natural science memoir; his ongoing fascination with this secretive fish, but also the equally perplexing and often murky relationship he shared with his father, whose only passion in life was fishing for this obscure creature.Through the exploration of eels in literature (Günter Grass and Graham Swift feature, amongst others) and the history of science (we learn about Aristotle’s and Sigmund Freud’s complicated relationships with eels) as well as modern marine biology (Rachel Carson and others) we get to know this peculiar animal. In this exploration, we also learn about the human condition, life and death, through natural science and nature writing at its very best.As Patrik Svensson concludes: ''by writing about eels, I have in some ways found my way home again.''

Hudební CD - Vánoce a jejich neopakovatelná atmosféra byly a jsou silným pramenem inspirace pro bezpočet hudebníků a skladatelů už po mnoho staletí. Vilém Veverka - hoboj, Ultimate W Band. Patricia Janečková - soprán Vánoce a jejich neopakovatelná atmosféra byly a jsou silným pramenem inspirace pro bezpočet hudebníků a skladatelů už po mnoho staletí. Po několika „klasických” deskách a crossoveru Next Horizon i hobojista Vilém Veverka podlehl tomuto kouzlu a natočil „svoje Vánoce”. Albem prochází jako leitmotiv Zima Antonia Vivaldiho (snad poprvé hraná na hoboj!). Kromě skladeb dalších barokních Mistrů (Bach, Händel) zakusí posluchač i argentinskou zimu s příchutí tanga (Ástor Piazzolla), ale zazní i Tichá noc, Adeste fideles či Chtíc, aby spal, písně, bez kterých si lze Vánoce jen stěží představit. Klenotem nahrávky je okouzlující soprán Patricie Janečkové, vzácnými hosty harfistka Kateřina Englichová a sopranistka Adéla Řehořová. Aranžérsky se i na tomto albu...
