'Nicola Tallis, one of our great popular historians.' Alison WeirThe first biography of Lettice Knollys, one of the most prominent women of the Elizabethan era.Cousin to Elizabeth I – and very likely also Henry VIII’s illegitimate granddaughter – Lettice Knollys had a life of dizzying highs and pitiful lows. Darling of the court, entangled in a love triangle with Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I, banished from court, plagued by scandals of affairs and murder, embroiled in treason, Lettice would go on to lose a husband and beloved son to the executioner’s axe. Living to the astonishing age of ninety-one, Lettice’s tale gives us a remarkable, personal lens on to the grand sweep of the Tudor Age, with those closest to her often at the heart of the events that defined it. In the first ever biography of this extraordinary woman, Nicola Tallis’s dramatic narrative takes us through those events, including the religious turmoil, plots and intrigues of Mary, Queen of Scots, attempted coups, and bloody Irish conflicts, among others. Surviving well into the reign of Charles I, Lettice truly was the last of the great Elizabethans.

Víte, co je to Capgrasův blud či de Clérambaultův syndrom? Trápí někoho ve vašem okolí porucha s bludy žárliveckého typu? Či pouhý perfekcionismus? Jedná se o různé více či méně obskurní stránky fenoménu zvaného zamilovanost.Britský psycholog a psychoterapeut Frank Tallis se ve své praxi rád zabývá stinnými stránkami lidské psýchy. V této knize, k jejímuž napsání ho inspirovalo dílo římského filozofa Tita Lucretia Cara O přírodě, jenž mj. srovnává zamilování s šílenstvím, shromáždil příběhy svých pacientů, s nimiž se setkával při terapii a kteří tak či onak trpěli symptomy extrémní zamilovanosti, „abnormální lásky“, při níž je postižený sužován bludem, nedokáže objektivně posoudit situaci a žije jakoby v setrvalé halucinaci. Dvanáct příběhů pohybujících se na pomezí literatury faktu a beletrie zkoumá mnoho fascinujících podob lásky, její věčnost, destruktivitu a nekontrolovatelnost.

Vídeňský policejní inspektor Oskar Rheinhardt je přivolán k nevysvětlitelnému úmrtí proslulého média. Jedná se o klasickou „záhadu zamčeného pokoje“. Zavražděná, půvabná mladá žena, byla středobodem kroužku spiritistů, jehož členy byli odborník na atypické zámky, nevypočitatelný maďarský hrabě, aristokratka – přívrženkyně madame Blavatské, která se považuje za vtělení exotického božstva, a další originální jedinci. Inspektor se radí o případu s doktorem Maxem Liebermannem, který se právě pod mírným nátlakem své rodiny chystá zasnoubit s přitažlivou, avšak povrchní Clarou, ale zároveň je stále více fascinován svou pacientkou slečnou Lydgateovou, vzdělanou a inteligentní anglickou guvernantkou se symptomy hysterie… V zakouřených kavárnách mocnářství na konci devatenáctého století vzkvétá zájem o nové umělecké a vědecké směry, ale zároveň se to tu jen hemží jedinci pochybné pověsti.

Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same.These were the words uttered by the seventeen-year-old Lady Jane Grey as she stood on the scaffold awaiting death on a cold February morning in 1554. Forced onto the throne by the great power players at court, Queen Jane reigned for just thirteen tumultuous days before being imprisoned in the Tower, condemned for high treason and executed.In this dramatic retelling of an often misread tale, historian and researcher Nicola Tallis explores a range of evidence that has never before been used in a biography to sweep away the many myths and reveal the moving, human story of an extraordinarily intelligent, independent and courageous young woman.

28 January 1457. England is in the grip of the Wars of the Roses. Inside the walls of Pembroke Castle a thirteen-year-old girl gives birth to a boy. The ordeal nearly kills them both, forging a powerful bond that will see mother and son work together to found the most famous dynasty in British history: the Tudors.___________‘A compelling portrayal of a woman of extraordinary courage, vision and passion. A must read.’ – Tracy Borman‘A pacy narrative, written with a clear love for and detailed knowledge of her subject.’ – Spectator ___________As the battle for royal supremacy raged between the houses of Lancaster and York, Margaret Beaufort, who was descended from Edward III and proved to be a critical threat to the Yorkist cause, was forced to give up her son – she would be separated from him for fourteen years. Surrounded by conspiracies in the enemy Yorkist court, Margaret remained steadfast, only just escaping the headman’s axe as she plotted to overthrow Richard III and secure her son the throne. Against all odds, in 1485 Henry Tudor was victorious on the battlefield at Bosworth. Margaret’s unceasing efforts and royal blood saw her son crowned King Henry VII, and Margaret became the most powerful woman in England.Nicola Tallis unmasks the many myths that have attached themselves to Margaret and reveals the real woman: an independent and vibrant character, who would risk everything to become Queen in all but name.

Elizabeth I is one of England’s most famous monarchs, whose story as the ‘Virgin Queen’ is well known. But queenship was by no means a certain path for Henry VIII’s younger daughter, who spent the majority of her early years as a girl with an uncertain future.This colourful and immensely detailed biography charts Elizabeth’s turbulent and unstable upbringing, from the Wyatt Rebellion – a plot to topple her half-sister, Mary, from her throne – to the predatory attentions of Sir Thomas Seymour and the heartbreaking rift with her beloved stepmother Katherine Parr. When Elizabeth became queen, she had already endured more tumult than many monarchs experienced in a lifetime, and this truly comprehensive account explores the dangers and tragedies that plagued her early life.Bestselling author Nicola Tallis draws on primary sources written by Elizabeth herself and her contemporaries, providing an extensive and thorough study of an exceptionally resilient young girl whose early life would shape the queen she later became. This is a nuanced, authentic and utterly gripping biography that throws new light onto the early life of this iconic monarch. The heart-racing story of Elizabeth’s youth as she steered her way through perilous waters towards England’s throne is one of the most sensational of its time.

SUNDAY TIMESDo you know what happened already? Did you know her? Did you see it on the internet? Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes?Did you see the pictures of the body? Did you look for them?It’s been nearly a decade since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked Crow-on-Sea, and the events of that terrible night are now being published for the first time.That story is Penance, a dizzying feat of masterful storytelling, where Eliza Clark manoeuvres us through accounts from the inhabitants of this small seaside town. Placing us in the capable hands of journalist Alec Z. Carelli, Clark allows him to construct what he claims is the ‘definitive account’ of the murder – and what led up to it. Built on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, painstaking historical research, and most notably, correspondence with the killers themselves, the result is a riveting snapshot of lives rocked by tragedy, and a town left in turmoil.The only question is: how much of it is true?‘Deeply disturbing and hilarious.’ IMOGEN CRIMP ‘Insanely propulsive . . .

A sweeping history of Athens, telling the three-thousand-year story of the birthplace of Western civilization, from Runciman Award winner Bruce Clark ''A stunning retrospect and beautifully written overview of one of the world''s greatest cities'' Paul Cartledge''Courageously grand in scale yet sensitive to the details that make Athens'' extraordinary history come alive'' Sofka Zinovieff''Bruce Clark brings an eye for the quirky, human detail, a pithy turn of phrase, and an affection for his subject honed over many decades'' Roderick Beaton''Bruce Clark''s enchantingly readable history revealed how little I knew'' Literary ReviewDominated by the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, the ancient Greek city of Athens is for many synonymous with civilization itself.Athens: City of Wisdom tells the tale of a city that occupies a unique place in the cultural memory of the West. Each of the book''s twenty-one chapters focuses on a critical ''moment'' in the city''s long history, from the reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first-century Athens, as a rapidly expanding city struggles with the legacy of a global economic crisis. Bruce Clark has a rich and revealing sequence of stories to tell – not only of the familiar golden age of Classical Athens, of the removal from the Acropolis of the Parthenon marbles by agents of the 7th Earl of Elgin in the early nineteenth century, or of the holding of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896; but also of the less fêted later years of antiquity, when St Paul preached on the Areopagus and neo Platonists refounded the Academy that Sulla''s legions had desecrated. He also delves into Athens'' forgotten medieval centuries, unearthing jewels gleaming in the Byzantine twilight, and tales of Christian fortitude and erratic Turkish governance from the four centuries of Ottoman rule that followed.Few places have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas as Athens; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and quietness. Writing with scholarly rigour and undisguised affection, Bruce Clark brings three thousand years of Athenian history vividly to life.

''The godfather of British performance poetry'' - Daily TelegraphThe Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John Cooper Clarke for several decades – and a brilliant, scabrous, hilarious collection from one of our most beloved and influential writers and performers. From the ‘Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman’ to a hymn to the seductive properties of the pie – by way of hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a meditation on the loss of Bono’s leather pants – The Luckiest Guy Alive collects stunning set pieces and tried-and-tested audience favourites to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of his game. Cooper Clarke’s status as the ‘Emperor of Punk Poetry’ is certainly confirmed here, but so is his reputation as a brilliant versifier, a poet of vicious wit and a razor-sharp social satirist. Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won wisdom and expert blindsidings, it’s easy to see why the good Doctor has continued to inspire several new generations of performers from Alex Turner to Plan B: The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most compelling poets of the age on truly exceptional form.''John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain’s outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for decades . . . long may his slender frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep us on our toes and alive to the wonders of the world.'' – Sir Paul McCartney

Violence has marked relations between blacks and whites in America for nearly four hundred years. In The Lineaments of Wrath, James W. Clarke draws upon behavioral science theory and primary historical evidence to examine and explain its causes and enduring consequences.Beginning with slavery and concluding with the present, Clarke describes how the combined effects of state-sanctioned mob violence and the discriminatory administration of "race-blind" criminal and contract labor laws terrorized and immobilized the black population in the post-emancipation South. In this fashion an agricultural system, based on debt peonage and convict labor, quickly replaced slavery and remained the back-bone of the region''s economy well into the twentieth century.Quoting the actual words of victims and witnesses—from former slaves to "gangsta" rappers—Clarke documents the erosion of black confidence in American criminal justice. In so doing, he also traces the evolution, across many generations, of a black subculture of violence, in which disputes are settled personally, and without recourse to the legal system. That subculture, the author concludes, accounts for historically high rates of black-on-black violence which now threatens to destroy the black inner city from within. The Lineaments of Wrath puts America''s race issues into a completely original historical perspective. Those in the fields of political science, sociology, history, psychology, public policy, race relations, and law will find Clarke''s work of profound importance.

NOMINATED FOR THE JAZZ JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 WINNER OF THE PRESTO JAZZ BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020An articulate, scrupulously researched account based on first-hand information, this book presents Brubeck''s contribution to music with the critical insight that it deserves - ***** BBC Music Magazine This is the writing about jazz that we''ve been waiting for - Mike WestbrookThe sheer descriptive verve, page after page, made me want to listen to every single musical example cited. A major achievement - Stephen Hough''Definitive . . . remarkable. Clark writes intelligently and joyously.'' - MojoIn 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Over the course of ten days, he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during their extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader. Brubeck opened up as never before, disclosing his unique approach to jazz; the heady days of his ''classic'' quartet in the 1950s-60s; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his 66-year-long career.Alongside beloved figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Brubeck''s music has achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck''s legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with his advanced musical technique, has proved largely elusive. In Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time, Clark provides us with a thoughtful, thorough, and long-overdue biography of an extraordinary man whose influence continues to inform and inspire musicians today.Structured around Clark''s extended interview and intensive new research, this book tells one of the last untold stories of jazz, unearthing the secret history of ''Take Five'' and many hitherto unknown aspects of Brubeck''s early career - and about his creative relationship with his star saxophonist Paul Desmond. Woven throughout are cameo appearances from a host of unlikely figures from Sting, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Keith Emerson, to John Cage, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Partch, and Edgard Varèse. Each chapter explores a different theme or aspect of Brubeck''s life and music, illuminating the core of his artistry and genius.

Audiokniha: Sci-fi román, který navždy změnil podobu žánru Předloha kultovního filmu Stanleyho Kubricka Audioknižní operní opus, který posouvá hranice mluveného slova V měsíčním kráteru Tycho je nalezen záhadný objekt: černý monolit, který vysílá pravidelný elektromagnetický signál na jeden ze Saturnových měsíců. Vůbec poprvé je proto hluboko do Sluneční soustavy vypravena lidská posádka. Ještě než dosáhne cíle, objeví se podivné technické obtíže, které postupně narůstají do děsivých rozměrů. Kapitán lodi David Bowman musí čelit selhávajícímu lodnímu systému, jež mění vědeckou misi v boj o život. Černý mimozemský kvádr na Japetu mezitím mlčí a čeká. Existuje odpověď na věčnou otázku o původu člověka a jeho místě ve vesmíru? Cesta za limity lidské zkušenosti, za hranice prostoru a času, posouvá hranice mluveného slova, hudby a zvuku. Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) Britský vynálezce, společně s Robertem Heinleinem a Isaacem Asimovem patřil do Velké trojky žánru science fiction. Za druhé světové války sloužil jako radiový instruktor, poté vystudoval matematiku a fyziku na King's College v Londýně. Žánru sci-fi se věnoval jako spisovatel od roku 1946. Z jeho raných děl jsou nejznámější romány Konec dětství a Město a hvězdy, z pozdějších pak Měsíční prach či žánrovými cenami ověnčené Setkání s Rámou a Rajské fontány. Román 2001: Vesmírná odysea vznikal souběžně se slavným stejnojmenným snímkem Stanleyho Kubricka. V následujících letech se k němu Clarke vrátil ve třech pokračováních. Vedle literární tvorby proslul jako vynálezce geostacionární telekomunikační družice. S myšlenkou satelitu zavěšeného na pevném místě na obloze přišel už v roce 1945, dlouho před vypuštěním první družice do vesmíru. Dvakrát byl předsedou Britské Interplanetární Společnosti, byl nominován na Nobelovu cenu míru a za své zásluhy získal šlechtický titul. Richard Honzovič (1934–2005) Legendární hlasatel, moderátor a dabér. Už jako malý chtěl pracovat v médiích a tak po maturitě v roce 1952 nastoupil do Československého rozhlasu. Chvíli poté působil i jako hlasatel zpráv v Československé televizi. Jelikož se v roce 1968 podílel na protiokupačním vysílání, nesměl na obrazovku a byl propuštěn. Pracoval pro Krátký film Praha a namlouval komentáře Československého filmového týdeníku a mnoha technických a přírodopisných dokumentů. Uváděl pořad Objektiv, jeho hlas se objevil ve Filmopolisu a České sodě. V soutěži TýTý dvakrát obsadil třetí místo. Pro vydavatelství Tympanum načetl audioknihy Solaris a oba díly Jistě pane ministře. Nahrávka vznikla podle knihy Arthura C. Clarka 2001: Vesmírná odysea vydané nakladatelstvím Odeon v roce 1982.

When Ron Clark walked into his fifth-grade class in rural North Carolina, he was confronted with a tremendous challenge. The children had little interest in learning, and were sorely lacking in guidance. How would he transform a group of apathetic kids into disciplined, thoughtful, and curious students? He quickly realized that they needed to learn some basic rules. Clark compiled a list of 55 lessons, and soon, his fifth-grade students--who once struggled to read at the third-grade level--were reading at the sixth-grade level . . . and loving it. What''s more, they were gaining something crucial-self-respect. Those 55 lessons evolved into what Clark calls The Essential 55 -- guidelines for living and interacting with others.The Essential 55 will prepare parents and educators to teach students the rules for life -- everything from knowing how to say thank you, to acing an interview.

An intellectual tour de force: the major essays of the esteemed author of international bestseller The Sleepwalkers Christopher Clark''s The Sleepwalkers has become one of the most influential history books of our century: a remarkable rethinking of the origins of the First World War, which has had a huge impact on how we see both the past and the present. For the many readers who found the narrative voice, craftsmanship and originality of Clark''s writing so compelling, Prisoners of Time will be a book filled with surprises and enjoyment. Bringing together many of Clark''s major essays, Prisoners of Time raises a host of questions about how we think about the past, and both the value and pitfalls of history as a discipline. The book includes brilliant writing on German subjects: from assessments of Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck to the painful story of General von Blaskowitz, a traditional Prussian military man who accommodated himself to the horrors of the Third Reich. There is a fascinating essay on attempts to convert Prussian Jews to Christianity, and insights into everything from Brexit to the significance of battles. Perhaps the most important piece in the book is ''The Dream of Nebuchadnezzar'', a virtuoso meditation on the nature of political power down the ages, which will become essential reading for anyone drawn to the meaning of history.
