Red Sky at Noon - Simon Sebag Montefiore
‘An epic adventure story set against the most awful war in history. Ridiculously good’ Dan Snow''The black earth was already baking and the sun was just rising when they mounted their horses and rode across the grasslands towards the horizon on fire …’Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He enrols in the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a desperate mission behind enemy lines.Switching between Benya''s war in the grasslands of Southern Russia, and Stalin''s plans in the Kremlin, between Benya''s intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin''s daughter and a journalist also on the Eastern Front, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery and human survival where personal betrayal is a constant companion, and death just a heartbeat away.Praise for Red Sky at Noon''Red Sky at Noon is an epic adventure story set against the backdrop of the most awful war in human history. The master historian shape-shifting into the brilliant novelist. Ridiculously good’. Dan Snow''Mythic and murderous violence in Russia…there are power-drunk Nazis and Soviet traitors, including a particularly memorable villain …Written with brio & deep knowledge of its fascinating subject matter… a deeply satisfying pageturner.'' - Book of the Month, The Times''In this third volume of The Moscow Trilogy, the fate of combatants and civilians is often harsh. With his feel for vivid and immediate drama and impressive research, the author evokes the extreme turbulence and violence impacting on individuals. Writing with passion, Montefiore makes the point that, up against the huge forces of war, the struggle for personal resolution can be tragic - but never wasted.'' - Daily Mail''The final instalment of Montefiore''s loosely connected Moscow Trilogy: amidst the killing and the chaos, a group of prisoners are offered a chance of redemption on a secret mission behind enemy lines on horseback. Montefiore has a keen sense of place and an eye of unexpected details. Switching between the frontline on the Russian steppes and Stalin in the Kremlin, this is an EXCITING FAST-PACED ADVENTURE AND A LAMENT FOR LOVE IN DARK AND BRUTAL TIMES.'' - Mail on Sunday''I devoured Red Sky at Noon. A heartstopping, heartbreaking, technicolour epic. A grand homage to the Russian masters Babel & Grossman, echoes of Hemingway & Dostoevsky, and a propulsive delight that is entirely Montefiore''s own. Gripping storytelling allied with intimate, unsqueamish knowledge of Russian history - a special combination.'' - AD Miller, author of Snowdrops''The gripping final instalment of the Moscow Trilogy tells of a man wrongly imprisoned in the Gulags and his fight for redemption. Love in dark times, meticulously researched... In this searing tale of love and war, most moving is the redemptive relationship between a soldier and a nurse that blooms amid the brutality. An homage to the author''s favourite Russian writers and the Western masterpieces of Larry McMurtry, Cormac McCarthy and Elmore Leonard, such influences pervade this atmospheric tale told in the author''s distinct own voice.'' - Observer

From here, Montefiore takes us on an exhilarating epic journey through the families that have shaped our world: the Caesars, Medicis and Incas, Ottomans and Mughals, Bonapartes, Habsburgs and Zulus, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and Krupps, Churchills, Kennedys, Castros, Nehrus, Pahlavis and Kenyattas, Saudis, Kims and Assads.A rich cast of complex characters form the beating heart of the story. Some are well-known leaders, from Alexander the Great, Attila, Ivan the Terrible and Genghis Khan to Hitler, Thatcher, Obama, Putin and Zelensky. Some are creative, from Socrates, Michelangelo and Shakespeare to Newton, Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie and Tim Berners-Lee.Others are lesser-known: Hongwu, who began life as a beggar and founded the Ming dynasty; Kamehameha, conqueror of Hawaii; Zenobia, Arab empress who defied Rome; King Henry of Haiti; Lady Murasaki, first female novelist; Sayyida al-Hurra, Moroccan pirate-queen. Here are not just conquerors and queens but prophets, charlatans, actors, gangsters, artists, scientists, doctors, tycoons, lovers, wives, husbands and children.

Jerusalem: The Biography - Simon Sebag Montefiore
Thoroughly updated and revised, JERUSALEM: THE BIOGRAPHY is the history of the Middle East through the lens of the Holy City and the Holy Land, from King David to the wars and chaos of today. The history of Jerusalem is the story of the world: Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths. The Holy City and Holy Land are the battlefields for today's multifaceted conflicts and, for believers, the setting for Judgement Day and the Apocalypse.How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the 'centre of the world' and now the key to peace in the Middle East? Why is the Holy Land so important not just to the region and its many new players, but to the wider world too? Drawing on new archives and a lifetime's study, Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city and turbulent region through the wars, love affairs and revelations of the kings, empresses, amirs, sultans, caliphs, presidents, autocrats, imperialists and warlords, poets, prophets, saints and rabbis, conquerors and whores who created, destroyed, chronicled, and believed in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. A classic of modern literature, this is not only the epic story of 3,000 years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism, co-existence, power and myth, but also a freshly updated, carefully balanced history of the Middle East, from King David to the new players and powers of the twenty-first century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict and the mayhem of today. This is how today's Middle East was forged, how the Holy Land became sacred and how Jerusalem became Jerusalem - the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.

Belonging - Simon Schama
A passionate history of Judaism; a world unfolding across many continents and five centuries by one of our greatest and internationally bestselling historians.Belonging is a magnificent cultural history abundantly alive with energy, character and colour. From the Jews’ expulsion from Spain in 1492 it tells the stories not just of rabbis and philosophers but of a poetess in the ghetto of Venice; a boxer in Georgian England; a general in Ming China; an opera composer in nineteenth-century Germany. The story unfolds in Kerala and Mantua, the starlit hills of Galilee, the rivers of Colombia, the kitchens of Istanbul, the taverns of Ukraine and the mining camps of California. It sails in caravels, rides the stage coaches and the railways; trudges the dawn streets of London, hobbles along with the remnant of Napoleon’s ruined army. The Jewish story is a history that is about, and for, all of us. And in our own time of anxious arrivals and enforced departures, the Jews’ search for a home is more startlingly resonant than ever. ‘A magnificent achievement…’ Jonathan Freedland, Guardian ‘An extraordinary cultural journey, filled with astonishingly colourful and outrageous characters … Schama delivers a superb and thrilling ride, both inspirational and tragic’ Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday

Battle of the Arctic - Hugh Sebag-Montefiore
From the author of Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man and Enigma: The Battle for the Code, a deep dive into the Second World War’s maritime epic in the Arctic.In a reconfiguration of recent events in Ukraine, it is 1941, and Russia has been invaded. The terms of the new alliance were that Western nations would ship urgently needed war materials to Russia via the shortest but most dangerous route: sailing north of the Arctic Circle while being hunted by U-boats, the Luftwaffe, and a surface fleet spearheaded by Tirpitz and Scharnhorst. This endeavour was called the Arctic convoys.Battle of the Arctic is about the conflict and naval battles that unfolded while Allied naval and merchant seamen, airmen, submariners, soldiers and intelligence officers delivered on this wartime commitment to Russia from 1941-45, passing through terrific storms, snow, ice and Arctic mirages. When ships went down in seas so cold that a man could die after just five minutes of immersion, it triggered events reminiscent of the do-or-die moments during the sinking of the Titanic. As is shown in this description, the aftermath of such incidents was harrowing. Men perished one by one in lifeboats, and as castaways on deserted Arctic islands where they were stalked by polar bears. Frostbitten and wounded survivors ended up in Russian hospitals so primitive that amputations were carried out without anaesthetics. Other survivors, while stranded for months in the communist state they were aiding, experienced the murky worlds of the NKVD and the gulags as well as famine and prostitution.This narrative has been written using a remarkable collection of vivid witness accounts brought together at the passing of the last survivors, and it has been produced with the benefit of research in Russian, German, American and British archives. Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, French and Canadian sources have also been quoted. This has enabled the telling of this extraordinary story to oscillate between the sailor’s eye view on the front line and the controversies that infuriated world leaders.Although during WW2, the relationship with Russia was far from smooth sailing, this wartime sacrifice for Stalin’s Soviet Union is today used by both parties as the historical precedent for future cooperation between Russia and the West.

Darkness at Noon - Arthur Koestler
A brilliant new translation of Koestler''s long-lost original manuscript. A chilling and unforgettable 20th century classic.From a prison cell in an unnamed country run by a totalitarian government Rubashov reflects. Once a powerful player in the regime, mercilessly dispensing with anyone who got in the way of his party’s aims, Rubashov has had the tables turned on him. He has been arrested and he’ll be interrogated, probably tortured and certainly executed.Darkness at Noon is as gripping as a thriller and a seminal work of twentieth-century literature. Published in Great Britain in 1940, it was feted by George Orwell, went on to be translated into thirty languages and is considered the finest work of pre-eminent European master, Arthur Koestler. And yet the novel’s worldwide reputation has, for over seventy years, been based on the first incomplete and inexpert English translation – Koestler’s original manuscript was lost when he fled the German occupation of Paris in 1940.In 2016, a student discovered that long-lost manuscript in a Zurich archive. At last, with the publication of this new translation of the rediscovered original, Koestler’s masterpiece can be experienced afresh and in its entirety for the first time.THE NEW TRANSLATION BY PHILIP BOEHM

Chodící a masážní pás inSPORTline ZenRun NOON
Kompaktní chodící a masážní pás 2v1 nabízí tichý chod, sklopitelné madlo a propojení s mobilními tréninkovými aplikacemi. Ideální pro domácí kardio a relaxaci po náročném dni.. Masážní chodící pás inSPORTline ZenRun NOON přináší jedinečné spojení klasické chůze a relaxační masáže chodidel. Díky oboustranné běžecké ploše nabízí dvě možnosti použití – jedna strana je určená pro běh nebo chůzi, druhá pro jemnou masáž. Ať už hledáte efektivní domácí kardio, nebo chcete po dni na nohou dopřát chodidlům zaslouženou úlevu, inSPORTline ZenRun NOON se rychle stane vaší každodenní rutinou. Dvě strany, dvě funkce Na běžecké straně můžete pohodlně chodit nebo klidně běžet – rychlost si nastavíte od 1 do 12 km/h. Ovládání je možné buď přímo na madle (plný rozsah rychlosti), nebo pomocí dálkového ovladače (z bezpečnostních důvodů maximálně 6 km/h, pokud není použito madlo). Na masážní straně vás čeká jednoduchý systém – 5 přednastavených programů se střídajícími se rychlostmi a automatický 10minutový časovač, po jehož skončení se pás sám zastaví. Takováto pravidelná masáž působí blahodárně na chodidla, stimuluje krevní oběh a přináší uvolnění – ideální třeba po dlouhém dni v práci nebo jako ranní probuzení. Aplikace nebo práce u počítače? Je to na vás! Chcete z tréninku vytěžit víc? Pás lze propojit s oblíbenými mobilními tréninkovými aplikacemi Zwift a Kinomap, díky kterým získáte interaktivní zážitek – virtuální běh v reálných světových lokalitách, tréninková videa i online výzvy vás udrží v tempu i motivaci. inSPORTline ZenRun NOON je perfektní i pro ty, kdo tráví hodiny u počítače. Díky tichému chodu a kompaktním rozměrům se skvěle hodí k výškovému pracovnímu stolu – můžete pohodlně chodit během práce, zlepšovat držení těla a udržovat se v pohybu i při online meetingu. Skvělý způsob, jak přirozeně navýšit denní počet kroků – aniž byste museli opustit domácí kancelář. Pás pro prarodiče i vnoučata inSPORTline ZenRun NOON je navržen tak, aby ho mohl bezpečně a pohodlně používat každý člen domácnosti. Mladší si na něm s chutí zaběhají, zatímco starší ocení klidnou chůzi – s bezpečným madlem, které poskytne potřebnou oporu při každém kroku. A když se rozhodnou zpomalit, mohou přetočit pás na masážní stranu pásu, která dopřeje příjemné uvolnění úplně všem – běžcům, chodcům i pohodářům. Madlo lze sklopit, což se hodí třeba když chcete pás použít při práci u stolu nebo ho jednoduše uskladnit – třeba pod postel, ke zdi nebo za skříň – měří pak na výšku pouhých 13,5 cm. Přirozený sklon a pohodlný pohyb Běžecká plocha má přirozený náklon 5 % (2,9°) – což odpovídá chůzi do mírného kopce. Tento sklon není nastavitelný, ale je ideálně navržen tak, aby simuloval běžný venkovní terén a podpořil přirozený pohyb bez přetěžování kloubů. Tlumení nárazů zajišťuje komfortní došlap a nižší zátěž pro kolena.
