Audiokniha: „Za víru, kterou v sobě mám, vděčím Owenu Meanymu, svému kamarádovi z dětství…“ Každodenní vzpomínka na něj je způsob, jak přežít smůle navzdory. Životní poustevník John Wheelwright odříkává barvitou litanii za spolužáka, jenž mu byl v telecích letech rádcem, vzorem neokázalých ctností a hlavně nerozlučným parťákem, tolikrát zasahujícím do jeho příběhu i do událostí v rodném Gravesendu. Sami posuďte, jaké ohromné věci v zastydlém novoanglickém maloměstě v 50. letech vykonal podměrečný mesiáš Owen Meany. Ačkoli strašidelně piští a v psaných debatách se prosazuje zásadně velkými písmeny, vyplatí se ho nepřeslechnout. Nejenže vyslovuje to, čeho se pokrytecká Amerika ještě dlouho neodváží, ale především se neptá, co může vlast udělat pro něj, nýbrž co on může udělat pro ni… Rozevlátě moderní, a přesto strhující paralela s mučednickým životem a odkazem Ježíše Krista stojí na vrcholu díla Johna Irvinga. S radostí z vyprávění, v jehož živelnosti si nijak nezadá s milovaným Dickensem, líčí autor přátelství až za hrob. Nikdo nejsme ostrov, musíme se k sobě přimknout a v éře pokrytců věřit pouze v to, co má smysl. Ve „sladkých“ 60. letech, jejichž myšlenky umrtvila válka ve Vietnamu, se to koneckonců ukáže v plné nahotě. „Nevšední zjevení v poněkud vyšeptalé próze konce 20. století. Odvážné, jemnocitné a tak zušlechťující, až se čtenáři ani nechce zpátky do reality.“ – Stephen King, The Washington Post. „Tahle modlitba rozlišuje mezi vštípenou vírou a tím, v co bychom měli věřit doopravdy. Owen chápe sebe sama jako nástroj boží a ví, co ho nemine – jako by s námi celý život pobýval jen kvůli oné poslední chvíli.“ – The Guardian. „Spisovatelův mistrovský kousek předkládá nespoutaného proroka, bojovnou zápletku a ústřední myšlenku, kterou se věru nevyplatí brát na lehkou váhu.“ – Time. „Sentiment přiznává autor bez vytáček a zůstává v něm až dojemně ryzí. Něco takového ovládali pouze velikáni 19. století. Posouzeno tedy jejich starosvětským jazykem: Irving popsal šlechetné naděje hrdinů s nezměrnou odolností, div nám z toho neběhá mráz po zádech.“ – The New York Times Book Review. „Hádal se s námi, ale nikdy na nás nežaloval. Nikdy nesvaloval odpovědnost na nás. Owen nebyl krysa. Vyrovnal řadě hrdinů z Bible a byl nám živým příkladem mučedníka. Jak jsem mohl vědět, že je hrdina? (…) Nevypadal lidsky. Postavu měl jako dítě, ale jeho pohyby byly povážlivě dospělé; a jeho vystupování na jevišti bylo víc než „dospělé“ – bylo nadpřirozené. Za všechno mohl pochopitelně jeho hlas. I kdyby volal ‚KONEC SVĚTA SE BLÍŽÍ!‘, stejně by se publikum sesypalo smíchy. – ukázka z textu.

Modlitba za Owena Meanyho, sedmá kniha Johna Irvinga, je obecně považována za vrchol autorova díla: nabízí strhující příběh, vypravěčské mistrovství a osobitý humor, nad nímž čtenář jednou vybuchne smíchy, podruhé zatrne úzkostí. Titulní hrdina Owen Meany (o němž v románu vypráví jeho přítel z dětství John Wheelwright a své vzpomínky na něj prokládá aktuálními deníkovými záznamy ze své současnosti) je prazvláštně nadaný chlapec nepřirozeně malého vzrůstu s protivným hlasem, který v mnohém připomíná jiného malého velkého antihrdinu světové literatury, Oskara Matzeratha z Plechového bubínku Güntera Grasse (Irving ostatně tuto inspiraci rád přiznává a Grasse považuje za svého přítele). Na rozdíl od monstrózního Oskara je ovšem Owen Meany postavou až kristovských rozměrů, postavou, jež si nepravděpodobným způsobem vybuduje auru proroka a nakonec se obětuje pro druhé.

Audiokniha: Když se Amerika změnila v minové pole, braňme se groteskou. Přestože na svět přišel skoro neposkvrněným početím a matčina drsná výchova z něj učinila syna nevídaných schopností, snaží se T. S. Garp i bez otce obstát. Vaří, uklízí, naslouchá a hlavně jedná fér s příslušníky menšin, kteří si u nich doma podávají dveře a v kvasu 60. let o sobě dávají stále hlasitěji vědět. Jakmile se však sám stane tátou a chce uspět coby dobrý rodič, občan a spisovatel, zjišťuje, že tahle zodpovědnost bude veliké břímě. Už jen proto, že tu nežije sám, peklo jsou spíš ti druzí a neštěstí nechodí po horách, nýbrž po Garpovi… Tak jako jeho ohleduplný hrdina předešel i nejslavnější Irvingův román svou dobu proroctvím o tom, co vše boří lidské sny o štěstí. Obraz Ameriky procházející hlubokou vnitřní krizí je vykreslen v tak sarkastických barvách, že ho obdivuje již čtvrtá generace čtenářů. Miliony prodaných výtisků i kultovní trička se záludným Spodním výrem potvrzují, že nejlepší medicínou na nevyléčitelnou chorobu – naši smrtelnost – je černá groteska. Groteska o nemocných Spojených státech, která je vzhledem k hloubce tamních názorových příkopů opět aktuální. Irvingovo klíčové dílo bylo odměněno Národní knižní cenou (1978) a dočkalo se i filmové verze (1982, režie George Roy Hill) s mladým Robinem Williamsem v titulní roli. „Tragikomická zpráva o moderní společnosti podaná v tak závratném tempu, že by se měla číst a chápat jako pokračování Hlavy XXII. – The Observer „Jako všechny výjimečné romány také ten o Garpovi odmítá zavedený tvar, dokonce i při pozorování panoptika sexu, manželství a rodičovství. A přece – nebo právě proto – je úchvatným, závažným a nehasnoucím reprezentantem prózy pamětihodné síly.“ – The Chicago Sun-Times „S vědomím, že v chodu času jsme jedinci na odpis, se tomu osudu můžeme klidně chechtat. Irving, jenž chápe své předurčení coby dědic dickensovské vypravěčské tradice, si libuje v barokní barvitosti a navrch nám uštědří morální lekci. Lekci ve formě komedie mravů, završené neblahou předzvěstí, že bude hůř.“ – The New York Times „Obrovský úspěch Irvingova čtvrtého románu se dal srovnat snad jen se čtenářským třeštěním nad Salingerovým Kdo chytá v žitě o necelých třicet let dříve. Kromě literárních kvalit se o to bezpochyby zasloužila i schopnost vystihnout právě ony ‚spodní víry a spodní výry‘ americké společnosti, ze kterých je až dnes hlavní proud: všudypřítomné násilí, především pak sexuální násilí na ženách, feminismus, transgender problematika, americký sen proměněný v noční můru…“ – irozhlas.cz „Podvratná podmanivost Irvingova psaní spočívá v tom, že (…) dokáže pro citlivé politické téma najít výmluvný obraz nebo scénu a pojednat ho groteskně, a přitom pronikavě a ve všech rozporech. Málokdo dokázal tak pronikavě a přitom zábavně odvyprávět příběh kontrakulturního hnutí Ameriky nebo obecně západního světa 60. a 70. let a [současně zapojit] všechny své oblíbené motivy, jako je nepřítomný otec, dominantní svérázná matka, zápasení, válka ve Vietnamu, reflexe vlastního psaní, odpor k bigotnosti jakéhokoli druhu, bizarně groteskní sex i smrt.“ – seznam.cz „Děsí mě, jak se současný vývoj obrací. Když jsem dopisoval Garpa, bál jsem se, že až kniha vyjde, nebude aktuální, poněvadž všechny motivy, jako jsou legalizace potratu, přijetí homosexuality či feminismus mezitím budou už běžná, akceptovaná věc. Mýlil jsem se. Už je to všechno znovu aktuální.“ – z talkshow s autorem (2023)

Her children made a major contribution to Allied victory in World War Two.From a humble upbringing in Leeds to Russian immigrant parents, Simpson took on secretarial roles that saw her move to Paris, Vienna and Geneva.

From the New York Times bestselling authors and loving owners of Esther the Wonder Pig, comes a memoir about their new life on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, which is anything but boring. Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter, had their lives turned upside down when they adopted their pig-daughter Esther--the so-called micro pig who turned out to be a full-sized commercial pig growing to a whopping 600 pounds--as they describe in their bestselling memoir Esther the Wonder Pig. The book ends with them moving to a new farm, and starting a new wonderful life where they will live on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary to care for other animals and just live happily ever after... Or so they thought. People often think about giving it all up and just moving to a farm. In theory it sure does sound great. But as Derek and Steve quickly realized, the realities of being a farmer--especially when you have never lived on a farm let alone outside of the city--can be frantic, crazy, and even insane. Not only are they adjusting to farm life and dutifully taking care of their pig-daughter Esther (who by the way lives in the master bedroom of their house), but before they knew it their sanctuary grew to as many as 42 animals, including: pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, cows, roosters, a peacock, a duck, a horse, a donkey, and a barn cat named Willma Ferrell. Written with joy and humor, and filled with delicious Esther-approved recipes dispersed throughout the book, this charming memoir captures an emotional journey of one little family advocating for animals everywhere.

Do začátku devadesátých let byl David Irving jedním z nejprodávanějších historiků, který se zabýval obdobím II. světové války. V roce 2000 však prohrál dlouho trvající soud s Deborah Lipstadt, která měla o Irvingovi prohlásit, že popírá holocaust. David Irving byl po prohraném soudu nucen zaplatit soudní výdaje proti straně, které čítaly bezmála dva miliony liber. Po této soudní aféře byl na Irvinga vytvářen stále větší tlak, který na něj byl vyvíjen soustavně od sepsání jeho „kontroverzní“ knihy Hitlerova válka. Tato kniha má údajně bagatelizovat některé zločiny, kterých se měli dopustit příslušníci nacistického Německa v období let 1933-1945. Kriminál vypráví o netradiční životní epizodě autora, který byl nucen strávit více jak rok v rakouském vězení Josefstadt. Důvod k zadržení a zatčení byla více jak 15 let stará přednáška před rakouským obecenstvem, kde se měl historik dopustit popírání holocaustu. Při další možné návštěvě Vídně v roce 2005 (kde měl historik přednášet před studenty) byl Irving zadržen policií a poté umístěn na vazbu. Autor knihy byl posléze odsouzen ke tří letům vězení pro trestný čin popírání holocaustu (zákon z roku 1945, který je schválen za stalinistické éry Rakouska). Skoro sedmdesátiletý Irving se ve vězení potkává s lidmi z různých společenských vrstev. Jak s lidmi z akademického prostředí tak s obyčejnými zlodějíčky, až po závažné zločince. V druhé části knihy začíná zlom Irvingova případu, který se pouští do velkých soudních bitev, které se mu z části podaří vyhrát a tak je v roce 2006 předčasně propuštěn na svobodu. Propuštění má, ale jednu podmínku a to že se historik už nikdy nesmí do Rakouska vrátit. Kniha je i sondou do stavu lidských práv a svobod v moderním Rakousku na začátku 21. století. Je až k neuvěření za jaké maličkosti se člověk může ocitnou za mřížemi. Kriminál je i příběh, který nám ukazuje realný stav svobody slova u našich jižních sousedů.

A MOTHERâ ™S TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS THE FIGHT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDRENâ ™S FUTURES IN THE DIGITAL AGE. Remarkable Daily Mail Remarkableâ ¦really honest Lorraine Kelly A very powerful and very moving book Anita Rani, Woman s Hour One of the most unflinching, inspirational autobiographies Iâ ™ve read, a remarkable cry of hope from the depths of despair GuardianOn 11 February 2023, 16-year-old Brianna Ghey left home to meet her friend in a park local to her home in Warrington, Cheshire. Her mother, Esther, was relieved to see her go â “ a positive step after a difficult and increasingly isolated few years. What Esther didnâ ™t know that day was that Brianna was being lured to the park where she would be tragically murdered. There was at once an international outpouring of anguish and outrage for a young life brutally snatched away and a motherâ ™s worst nightmare come true. Amidst global displays of support, the usually shy and private Esther began to reflect on how she could channel her own personal grief into campaigning to help others and to create a lasting legacy for her child. This is the story of Briannaâ ™s death, but it is also the story of her life and of a mother who had to find a way to survive without her. It is a story of transforming unimaginable tragedy into change, of the power of empathy, and a call for understanding and unity in the face of the threats our young people face in an increasingly unchecked digital world. This is Estherâ ™s fight for a safer, more hopeful future.

A compelling literary journey through the social history of wool in the British Isles Karen Lloyd, author of The Gathering Tide Travel the length of the British Isles with Esther Rutter, as she tells the story of wool s long and tangled history hereEsther Rutter grew up on a sheep farm in Suffolk, and learned to spin, weave and knit as a child. Here she unearths fascinating histories of communities whose lives were shaped by wool, from the mill workers of the Border countries, to the English market towns built on profits of the wool trade, and the Highland communities cleared for sheep farming; and finds tradition and innovation intermingling in today s knitwear industries. Along the way, she explores wool s rich culture by knitting and crafting culturally significant garments from our history - whether gloves, a scarf, a baby blanket, socks or a fisherman s jumper - reminding us of the value of craft and our intimate relationship with wool. This Golden Fleece is at once a celebration on the craft and history of knitting, and a fascinating exploration of wool s influence on our landscape, history and culture. You don t have to be a knitter to enjoy this wondrous book, although as one, I did smile through most of its pages BBC Countryfile The history of plain, purl and intarsia is woven together by Esther Rutter, whose own skill with needles, learned from practical experience, attests that this ancient craft is nothing less than a wonder of civilization.

How can Christians engage meaningfully with history?In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in what this book terms the Ahistoric Age, in which we are profoundly disconnected from history.In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities.In Priests of History, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker draws upon her expertise, and her experience as an atheist who has become a Christian, to examine what history is and why it matters. If Christians can learn how to be priests of history, tending and keeping our past, history can help us strengthen and revive our spiritual and intellectual formation and equip us to communicate the gospel in a confused and rootless world.

The persistence of stark health inequalities in today⠙s world is painfully clear to see, not least in the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and falling life expectancy in many parts of the world. How can we advance our understanding of the full extent of health inequality, what drives it, and ways to address it? The third edition of this popular book closely examines the influence of social class, gender, and race/ethnicity (among other issues) on health in the light of broad macro-political contexts. The classic behavioural, psychosocial, and material approaches to health and their embodiment within a life-course perspective are introduced but, importantly, are also re-situated within the growing understanding of the commercial and political determinants of health. Bartley and Kelly-Irving draw on extensive new evidence that shows how the chances for everyone to lead a long and healthy life depend on where power lies to control health-damaging policies and introduce health-promoting ones.  Health Inequality will continue to be essential reading for students taking courses in the sociology of health and illness, social policy and welfare, health sciences, public health and epidemiology and all those interested in understanding the consequences of social inequality for health.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Live Aid. Freddie Mercury. Od počátků až na vrchol. Mistři, rebelové, showmani i vizionáři současně – to vše je skupina Queen. Kompletní příběh Queen zachycuje životní i hudební dobrodružství a neuvěřitelný stylový záběr té nejskvělejší kapely na světě, věříme, že tak, jako se to dosud nikomu jinému nepovedlo. Každé album Queen, počínaje jejich energickým debutem přes senzační A Night at the Opera a osobitý Jazz až po závěrečné emocemi protkané Made in Heaven v sobě ukrývá celý hudební vesmír. Stadionový hard rock i něžné balady, rytmický funk, nadpozemské gospely a navíc i operní bláznovství, které zní, jako kdyby přišlo z nebe. Nadpozemský zážitek měli také návštěvníci jejich legendárních koncertů, například ve Wembley nebo v Budapešti. Queen bylo dopřáno skončit na tvůrčím vrcholu a vydat ze sebe z posledních sil to nejlepší, čeho byli v daném okamžiku schopni. Smrt frontmana Freddie Mercuryho znamenala pro hudební svět velkou a bolestnou ztrátu, kterou už nebylo a není možné ničím a nikým nahradit – nezbývalo než ji přijmout. Díky kouzlu filmového plátna a snímku Bohemian Rhapsody však Queen ožili znovu. A ožívají i na stránkách Kompletního příběhu. Připravte se na něco jedinečného a mimořádného!
