Švédský venkov, to nejsou jen nekonečné lesy, jezera s křišťálovou vodou a malebné červené domy na smaragdových pasekách. Daleko od civilizace bují lidská závist a chudoba, dívky nabízejí sex na zapadlých parkovištích a na chátrajících samotách se daří drogám. Liv Björnlundová si svůj osud nevybrala, určila jí ho Pustina, vesnice na samém konci silnice. Dcera ze statku, který poznamenala rodinná tragédie, pracuje na benzinové pumpě, kam ji každý den vozí otřískaným volvem její despotický otec Vidar. Liv si připadá jako v kleci. Až do chvíle, kdy je v opuštěné studni v lesích nalezen Vidar mrtvý. Do smrti hněvivého starého muže se zaplete dvojice dealerů a zlodějíčků, kteří věděli o jeho skrývaném bohatství. Ale všechno může být složitější. Vždyť nešťastníků, jimž vražda nabízí vstupenku do lepšího života, je Pustina plná.

Na severu Švédska Ewa sáhne po telefonu. Na druhé straně planety, na západě USA, se její milovaná dcera Matilda toulá, kam ji nohy zanesou. Dny míjejí, vzrušení a vztahy začínají a končí. Dobrodružství čeká v každém dalším setkání, v každé další láhvi vína. Matilda opustila Švédsko, opustila i svou matku. A když přestane zvedat telefon, Ewa se vydá do letní noci, kde se stane někým jiným, někým, kdo má odvahu. Ve stínu Skalistých hor nastupuje Tyler na další směnu ve zchátralém motelu. Každá noc je stejná, dokud nepotká Matildu. Spolu se vydávají na cestu, vstříc svým snům. Na cestu, jejíž ozvěna se přenese až na druhou stranu Atlantiku, do bledé letní noci, kde je Ewa. Večer zbořit svět je ponurý i romantický příběh o matce a dceři, o touze po přijetí a lásce a o odvaze žít život, o němž sníte.

Každý cestovatel Pustinami musí zaplatit jistou cenu, mnohokrát přesahující cenu jízdenky. Přes Pustiny se dá cestovat jen jedním způsobem: Transsibiřským expresem, vlakem proslulým jak svým luxusem, tak neznámým nebezpečím, které každou jeho cestu ohrožuje. Pustiny jsou neprobádané území, kde podle legend žijí bytosti děsivější než cokoli, co si pasažéři vlaku dokážou představit. Při poslední cestě došlo k tragickým událostem, které si však nikdo z cestujících údajně nepamatuje. Dokonce ani Čang Wej-wej, sirota, která strávila celý svůj život ve vlaku a myslela si, že zná všechna jeho tajemství. Nyní se vlak chystá vyrazit na svoji cestu z Pekingu do Moskvy znovu. Dokážou si však cestující navzájem důvěřovat, když jim hrozí, že je Pustiny pohltí? A dojede vlak do cíle?

Rozsáhlé literární, tj. básnické, prozaické i esejistické dílo Pavla Rejchrta (nar. 1942), do roku 1990 nepublikované, nyní sympaticky rozhojňuje další autorova knižní publikace s názvem Pustinami k díkůvzdání. Jde o prokomponovaný cyklus básní a próz, z nichž některé vznikly v původní podobě již před drahným časem (například v sedmdesátých letech 20. století), většinou ale v průběhu nynějšího kalendářního roku, tj. 2018. Některé starší texty byly pro toto vydání důkladně upraveny či přepracovány, jako celek však kniha představuje pozoruhodnou vizitku nové Rejchrtovy básnické a prozaické tvorby. Jednotlivé prozaické i veršované útvary z této publikace se dají v souladu s umělcovou celoživotní estetickou a filosofickou orientací označit za existenciálně laděné v duchu novodobého křesťanského, zvláště evangelického post-existencialismu. Do mnoha z nich však výrazně, úporně i úpěnlivě vstupuje palčivá problematika aktuální lidské situace: taková, jak ji autor, jak sám říká, bolestně vnímal a nesl s touhou, aby takovou nebyla. Zčásti v těchto příbězích a básnických vyznáních poznovu ožívá stejně eruptivní jako sebezpytavý svět šedesátých let, v nichž Pavel Rejchrt vyzrával a začal formovat své pojetí umělecké tvorby a náboženské víry, zčásti z nich prostřednictvím reflexe soudobé "postpravdivé" společnosti mnohotvárně vyvěrá i mnohobolestný mravní nepokoj nad pomyslnými i nepomyslnými pustinami, v nichž podle autorova přesvědčení mnozí žijeme a pohříchu i jimi žijeme. Jeho vyznavačské promluvy vyzývají k bytostné očistě naší mysli, jsou to však v prvé řadě beletristické i poetické promluvy literátovy a myslitelovy. Směřující k nadčasovému díkůvzdání i díkůčinění.

This biography for young readers explores the life of the controversial seventh U.S. president, as well as his successes, failures, and legacy.Born in the Carolina backwoods, Andrew Jackson joined the American Revolutionary War at the age of thirteen. After a reckless youth of gunfights, gambling, and general mischief, he rose to national fame as the general who defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.Jackson ran for president as a political outsider, championing the interest of common farmers and frontiersmen. Determined to take down the wealthy, well-educated East Coast “elites,” he pledged to destroy the national bank—which he believed was an engine of corruption serving the interest of bankers and industrialists. A staunch nationalist, he sought to secure and expand the nation''s borders. Believing that "we the people" included white men only, he protected the practice of slavery, and opened new lands for white settlers by pushing the Native people westward. Jackson, a polarizing figure in his era, ignited a populist movement that remains a powerful force in our national politics. The book includes selections of Jackson''s writings, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.“A concise profile that successfully reveals Jackson''s personal complexities and contradictions and his controversial legacy as a public figure.” —Kirkus Reviews

For fans of the hit Netflix docuseries The Last Dance.During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in the history of professional sports. Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from coaching his way, from a place of deep values. Jackson was tagged as the ''Zen master'' half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth: this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players’ nature, not their egos, fear, or greed.This is the story of a preacher’s kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hyper-competitive world of professional sports on its head.In Eleven Rings, Jackson candidly describes how he:- Learned the secrets of mindfulness and team chemistry while playing for the champion New York Knicks in the 1970s- Managed Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the world, and got him to embrace selflessness, even if it meant losing a scoring title- Forged successful teams out of players of varying abilities by getting them to trust one another and perform in sync- Inspired Dennis Rodman and other ''uncoachable'' personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves- Transformed Kobe Bryant from a rebellious teenager into a mature leader of a championship team. Eleven times, Jackson led his teams to the ultimate goal: the NBA championship six times with the Chicago Bulls and five times with the Los Angeles Lakers. We all know the legendary stars on those teams, or think we do. What Eleven Rings shows us, however, is that when it comes to the most important lessons, we don’t know very much at all. This book is full of revelations: about fascinating personalities and their drive to win; about the wellsprings of motivation and competition at the highest levels; and about what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

A reclamation of essential history and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to Black women looks like—from a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue. “Jenn M. Jackson is a beautiful writer and excellent scholar. In this book, they pay tribute to generations of Black women organizers and set forward a bold and courageous blueprint for our collective liberation.”—Imani Perry, author of South to AmericaThis is my offering. My love letter to them, and to us.Jenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work: Why has Black women’s freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers’ lessons?A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements.Across eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders—from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde—Jackson sets the record straight about Black women’s longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.For a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.

Dcera ze statku, který poznamenala rodinná tragédie, pracuje na benzinové pumpě, kam ji každý den vozí otřískaným volvem její despotický otec Vidar. Liv si připadá jako v kleci. Až do chvíle, kdy je v opuštěné studni v lesích nalezen Vidar mrtvý. Do smrti hněvivého starého muže se zaplete dvojice dealerů a zlodějíčků, kteří věděli o jeho skrývaném bohatství. Ale všechno může být složitější. Vždyť nešťastníků, jimž vražda nabízí vstupenku do lepšího života, je Pustina plná. lt;br gt; lt;br gt; Čte: Jitka Ježková, Jan Vondráček lt;br gt; Režie: Jan...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

From source to sea, artist Kurt Jackson's fascination with the rivers of the British Isles and beyond has endured throughout his life. This book explores, for the first time, Jackson's visual and written responses to the rivers that he has followed, from the continent of Africa to his home county of Cornwall. The diversity of the waterways that Jackson has come to know through his travels is echoed in his images, which capture habitats rich in flora and fauna. We can also discern the changing face of our rivers - choked by pollution and straining to survive the abuses inflicted since industrialisation restricted the natural flow of the network of blue lines that trickle, meander and run through our lands. Celebrating those networks common to us all, this important publication reminds us of the splendours of our rivers - powerful and fragile in equal measure.

A richly illustrated account tracing the full arc of contemporary painter Suzanne Jackson’s life and multifaceted artistic visionFirst and foremost a painter, Suzanne Jackson has worked for six decades in a dizzying array of genres, including drawing, printmaking, poetry, dance, and theater design. Suzanne Jackson: What Is Love reveals Jackson’s achievements as a leading and influential artist who has been in dialogue with her contemporaries, from Betye Saar and Emory Douglas to Senga Nengudi and Mary Lovelace O’Neal. This wide-ranging book illuminates Jackson’s work and its connections to nature, environmentalism, performance, feminism, and Black and Native traditions. It explores the way her innovative hanging acrylic works break the canvas; the role of dance and set design in Jackson’s practice; and her trailblazing Los Angeles art space Gallery 32, which she ran from 1968 to 1970, and which became a focus for a circle of fellow emerging artists. The book also features artist dialogues between Jackson and Nengudi, Saar, Fred Eversley, and Richard Mayhew, as well as a conversation between Jackson and SFMOMA painting conservator Jennifer Hickey.

A companion guide to THE TRIALS OF APOLLO series, set in the world of PERCY JACKSON.Camp Half-Blood FYI is the funny insider's guide to the demigod training camp in Long Island, narrated by none other than Percy Jackson himself, and other favourite characters will be heard from, too. In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as "What is this place?" and "Do I get to keep the T-shirt?"Newbies can check out the section on the Divine Cabins, read up on Magical Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas.But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her “vulnerable, tender, and infinitely inspirational” (Oprah Daily) memoir, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States chronicles her extraordinary life story. “A billowingly triumphant American tale.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWith this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation. Named “Ketanji Onyika,” meaning “Lovely One,” based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power don’t look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood. Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson’s journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come.

Elektronická kniha - autor Michal Sirotek, 227 stran Sedmnáct let uplynulo od chvíle, kdy OSN schválilo bombardování Prahy. Katastrofu to neodvrátilo. Agresivní parazit pohlcuje zbytky zdevastované civilizace a proměnil krajinu v Nachové pustiny. Tomáš dosud žil v relativním bezpečí jedné z posledních výsep Čech. To se však mění s nečekaným objevem, kvůli němuž se musí vypravit do zamořených končin plných krvelačných biokonstruktů a fanatické frakce Proměny. Žádné nebezpečí není ale tak hrozné jako Lovec. Muž, jenž zná o původu zkázy děsivou pravdu, a který je Tomášovi v patách.

Hudební CD - Původně Pustina spatřila světlo světa jako divadelní inscenace ve Studiu Hrdinů v režii Miroslava Bambuška (premiéra 6. 10. 2014). Nedílnou součástí každého představení byla živá hudba skupiny DG 307, která každé představení doprovázela. ?V době, kdy se blížila derniéra, napadlo vydavatelství Guerilla Records její podobu zachytit na „filmový pás”. Režie se opět ujal Miroslav Bambušek (který u Guerilla Records již vydal film Jan Hus - Mše za tři mrtvé muže), ale v samém počátku natáčení došlo k vážnému Zajíčkovu onemocnění, který se již dále nemohl osobně účastnit. Přesto pomocí netradičních postupů (zejména využití doprovodných filmových projekcí), hudební složky a avantgardního režisérova oka se podařilo záznam inscenace dokončit. Upozorňujeme, že se nejedná o „pouhé” natočení divadlení hry, ale o svébytný přepis divadelního představení. Stejně jako v něm i ve filmu se propojují tři dramatické složky: živá hudba, filmové projekce a herecké akce....

Ušli už pořádný kus cesty do vnitrozemí. Doba odpočinku končí a začíná doba učení. Susannah se učí střílet... Eddie se učí vyřezávat... a pistolník se učí, jaké to je... přicházet kousek po kousku o rozum.

Elektronická kniha - autor Pavel Rejchrt, 264 stran, česky Rozsáhlé literární dílo Pavla Rejchrta, jeho básnické, prozaické i esejistické tituly, až po roce 1990 uveřejňované, nyní rozhojňuje další autorova publikace s výmluvným názvem Pustinami k díkuvzdání. Představuje promyšleně komponovaný cyklus básní a próz, z nichž některé vznikly v původní podobě již v sedmdesátých letech 20. století, většinou ale až v době nejnovější, převážně v průběhu roku 2018. Některé starší texty byly pro připravované vydání důkladně upraveny či přepracovány, nicméně kniha jako celek představuje pozoruhodnou vizitku zejména nové Rejchrtovy básnické a prozaické tvorby. Jednotlivé prozaické i veršové útvary z této publikace se mohou v souladu s umělcovou celoživotní estetickou a filosofickou orientací označit především za existenciálně laděné, to znamená napsané v duchu novodobého křesťanského, zvláště evangelického post-existencialismu. Do mnoha z nich ale úporně i úpěnlivě...
