Richard Aldington - Simon Hewett

Rediscover the rich legacy of Richard Aldington (1892–1962), a notable British man of letters. A prominent editor, poet, author of fiction, translator, biographer, and screenwriter who made an indelible contribution to the English literature of the early twentieth century, Richard Aldington deserves to be much better known than he is today. Best known these days for his novel Death of a Hero, which was based on his experience on the frontlines of World War I, he was a central figure in English literary and cultural life in the first half of the twentieth century, married to the poet Hilda Doolittle (H. D.) and friends with Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and others. This book accompanies a milestone exhibition at the Grolier Club, based on the largest Aldington collection in private hands, that is poised to restore his name to its rightful place. Richard Aldington contains a short biography, a bibliography of Aldington’s publications, and a catalog of the exhibition.

Exile and Other Poems - Richard Aldington

First published in 1923, Exile and Other Poems is an important, poignant collection from one of the foremost Imagist war poets. Penned after witnessing the horrors of the frontline during the First World War, Aldington''s brutal, honest verse lays bare unimaginable experiences.The first part of the collection, ''Exile'', explores the poet''s survivor''s guilt, post-traumatic stress and sense of alienation. The collection continues with a ''Songs for Puritans'' and ''Songs for Sensualists'', pastiches of seventeenth and eighteenth-century love poetry, and a series of more personal poems exploring the natural world, from which Aldington drew reassurance.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Elizabeth Vandiver and Vivien Whelpton, this centenary edition seeks to place Exile firmly back on the map of war poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.

Giacomo a Henrietta - Richard Aldington

Úchvatný milostný a dobrodužný román předního anglického básníka a spisovatele první poloviny minulého století Richarda Aldingtona, spolu a Hemingwayem, Fitzgeraldem a dalšími příslušníka ‚ztracené generace‘, poznamenané traumaty 1. světové války. Aldington, v mládí autor nesmlouvavých básní a kritických próz, se v pokročilém věku uchýlil k romantickému žánru, avšak vysokou kulturu a průraznost myšlení, stejně jako mimořádný vypravěčský talent a hluboké lidoznalectví si v něm plně zachoval. Jde o přesvědčivě vyjádřený příběh věčného boje dobra se zlem, v němž je dobro sice jako téměř vždy v defenzívě, avšak přesto je nesmírně silné a proto ideově nepotlačitelné. Casanova, svůdce žen, dobrodruh a podvodník, je na sklonku života postaven před ožehavovu otázku, zda to byl on, kdo s ženami manipuloval, nebo zda ve skutečnosti nemanipulovaly ony s ním. Dokáže si vzpomenout pouze na jedinou ženu, která ho milovala skutečně a čistě - na Henriettu. Nakladatel Bohumil Sláma původní Aldingtonův text zkrátil a upravil, čímž mu přidal na kompaktnosti a vyzdvihl jeho poselství.

A Fool i’ the Forest - Richard Aldington

First published in 1925, and frequently compared to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, A Fool i’ the Forest is a modernist’s poetic expression of his ongoing struggles with overcoming the trauma of military service in the First World War.Taking its title from Shakespeare’s phantasmagoric Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Fool surveys three aspects of one character – ‘I’, Mezzetin and the Conjuror – as they struggle, and ultimately fail, to find a way to reconcile their differences and live with one another.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Michael Copp and Elizabeth Vandiver, this centenary edition seeks to place A Fool firmly back into the canon of postwar poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.

Audiokniha: Šestnáctiletý Simon už nějakou dobu ví, že je gay, ale ještě není připravený sdělit to okolnímu světu. Jedinou výjimkou je tajemný Blue, se kterým si Simon už několik měsíců vyměňuje e-maily a jejich vzájemné pouto sílí. Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola.

Conversations with Neil Simon

Neil Simon (1927-2018) began as a writer for some of the leading comedians of the day--including Jackie Gleason, Red Buttons, Phil Silvers, and Jerry Lewis--and he wrote for fabled television programs alongside a group of writers that included Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart, Michael Stewart, and Sid Caesar. After television, Simon embarked on a playwriting career. In the next four decades he saw twenty-eight of his plays and five musicals produced on Broadway. Thirteen of those plays and three of the musicals ran for more than five hundred performances. He was even more widely known for his screenplays--some twenty-five in all.Yet, despite this success, it was not until his BB Trilogy--Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, and Broadway Bound--that critics and scholars began to take Simon seriously as a literary figure. This change in perspective culminated in 1991 when his play Lost in Yonkers won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.In the twenty-two interviews included in Conversations with Neil Simon, Simon talks candidly about what it was like to write commercially successful plays that were dismissed by critics and scholars. He also speaks at length about the differences between writing for television, for the stage, and for film. He speaks openly ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Rebel Music: Bob Marley & Roots Reggae - Kate Simon

Rebel Music is a tribute to one of the greatest legends in world music, Bob Marley. In 1975, Kate Simon first photographed Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Lyceum in London, where the now-legendary live performance of ‘No Woman No Cry’ was recorded. They then collaborated throughout the Seventies, with Simon shooting some of the most intimate, enduring and emblematic images ever taken of Marley, including his iconic Kaya album cover. Simon captured it all: portraits of the reggae greats of the Seventies, such as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh; the Exodus Tour, on the road with Bob Marley and The Wailers as they performed across Europe; and the One Love Peace Concert, where Bob famously united Jamaica’s opposing political leaders. Ultimately, in 1981, Simon would ride with the funeral cortege from Kingston to St Ann and Bob Marley’s final resting place. Rebel Music contains over 400 photographs from Simon’s archives, many published here for the first time. Introduced by Patti Smith, with a foreword by Lenny Kravitz and afterword by Keith Richards, a cast of 24 contributors join Simon in sharing the stories behind the images, including ex-Wailers guitarist Junior Marvin and bass player and ...

Jupiter's Travels - Ted Simon

Jupiter''s Travels -Ted Simon''s astonishing 4 year motorbike journey around the world The book that inspired Ewan McGregor''s Long Way RoundIn the late 1970s Ted Simon set off on a Triumph and rode 63,000 miles over four years through fifty-four countries in a journey that took him around the world. Through breakdowns, prison, war, revolutions, disasters and a Californian commune, he travelled into the depths of fear and reached the heights of euphoria.He met astonishing people and was treated as a spy, a welcome stranger and even a god. For Simon the trip became a journey into his own soul, and for many others - including bikers Charley Boorman and Ewan McGrergor - it provides an inspiration they will never forget.This classic text, which has informed a whole genre of travel writing in the thirty years since it was first published, will never be bettered for sheer adventure, passion, humour and honesty.Brought up in England by a German mother and a Romanian father, Ted Simon found himself impelled by an insatiable desire to explore the world. It led him to abandon an early scientific career in favour of journalism, and he has worked for several newspapers and magazines on Fleet ... Unknown localization key: "more"

I Put A Spell On You - Nina Simone

James Baldwin used to tell Nina Simone, "This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it." Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like "I Loves You, Porgy," "My Baby Just Cares for Me," "I Put a Spell on You," and "Mississippi Goddam" have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song "Young, Gifted, and Black" became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone''s are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone''s powerful memoir of her tempestuous life.

'Hilarious, heart-wrenching and packed with British music history.' - COLDPLAY A Virgin Radio Book of the Year It's a life-and-near-death story. But whose life? And whose near-death?As a one-time NME journalist, former Xfm radio presenter, toilet-circuit promoter and the founder of enduring homespun British record label Fierce Panda, Simon Williams has been at the cutting, cutting, cutting edge of all things 'indie' for over thirty years. During his tenure as managing director of Fierce Panda (a role he holds to this day), Simon was responsible for tripping over bands such as Coldplay, Keane, Placebo and countless other acts of independent hue - some of whom have gone on to achieve earth-shattering musical superstardom, while others have merely baffled the crowd at the Bull & Gate in north London on a wet Wednesday evening.Unfiltered and unflinching, Pandamonium! is the story of Simon's time at the indie coalface, filled with insider anecdotes to entertain music enthusiasts everywhere - from the origins of a bootlegged Oasis release to Chris Martin's delight at reaching number ninety-two in the charts. But it is also the story of how Simon tried to bring a premature end to proceedings, documenting in blunt, matter-of-fact detail his longstanding mental-health ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Cílem je najít cokoliv, čím by dokázal Jinxe povolat, vyvázat Izáka z jeho moci a zároveň zajistit, že ho nestráví kletba, kterou na něm zanechal Veripula. Jediným vodítkem je flash disk, který mu zanechala Sára. Obsahuje tajemný kód, který Simon není schopen přečíst. Možná je v Orákulu někdo, kdo to zvládne. Co disk ale skrývá? Tajemný rituál? Pekelné zaklínadlo? A proč se zdá, že má Orákulum vlastní tajemství, která se Simonem není ochotno sdílet? Pátá kniha o okultním právníkovi nás zavede do Itálie. Zde se Simon setkává se starým známým Harveyem a zjišťuje, že celá jeho dosavadní praxe nejspíš není nic víc než jen špičkou...

Simon Sinek, autor bestselleru Začněte s proč, studoval množství firem, v jejichž čele stojí lídři, kterým více než na sobě a na krátkodobých ziscích záleží na zaměstnancích. Své poznatky pak zpracoval do nové knihy Lídři jedí poslední, kde se jimi můžete inspirovat i vy. Armáda má jasno: důstojníci jedí poslední! Co je v jídelně spíše symbolickým gestem, dostává na bitevním poli vážnější rozměr. Ti nejlepší lídři obětují vlastní pohodlí a bezpečí pro dobro těch, kterým velí. Budují ve své firmě důvěru, pocit jistoty a podporují spolupráci. Jejich zaměstnanci pak táhnou za jeden provaz a dokážou čelit vnějším výzvám. Firmy jsou stabilní a dlouhodobě úspěšné. Tento princip používá lidstvo od dob lovců a sběračů a Simon Sinek ukazuje, že platí stále, možná víc než kdy jindy.

Básníci rockové inspirace není ještě zavedený pojem, a přece už je u nás autor, jemuž toto označení (nebudeme-li je považovat za vyčerpávající) patří plným právem. Je to JOSEF ŠIMON (nar. 1948), který vydal dosud pět sbírek básní: Snídaně v automatu (1976), Asfaltoví holubi (1978), Český den (1979), Pouštní pták (1981), "Ať člověk". Melancholická kytara (1982). Šestá knížka s názvem Vyvolávač by měla vyjít ve stejné době jako tato gramofonová deska...Stejně "totálně" jako svět a ženu chápe Šimon i umění. Je mu celistvým postojem ke skutečnosti, jeho zdrojem je rozum i cit. Stejně tak slovo: je mu nejen slovem psaným, mluveným či zpívaným, ale především prostředkem tvorby. Šimon je alergický na slova "skleníková", touží po ztotožnění, po osobní výpovědi. Proto ho láká hovořit své verše a docela je i zpívat. Je v tom i odmítání cizích mystifikací ...
