Christina Rossetti psala básně od svých dvanácti let, ve čtrnácti letech se psychicky zhroutila - trpěla silnými depresemi. Její básně se vyznačují vykreslováním kontrastů, protipólů, symbolismem, jsou velmi barvité a evokativní. V letech 1859-1870 pracovala jako dobrovolnice v domě pro bývalé prostitutky, kde se pro svou nejslavnější sbírku o hříchu a vykoupení Skřetí trh zcela jistě inspirovala. Kvůli zájmu o ženská témata je považována za průkopnici feminismu, ale těžištěm jejích alegorických textů romantického a metafyzického ladění je smrt. "Co s tím? se ptáte. Já neodpovím. Ohledně smyslu, dím jen, Co já vím?"

After dropping out of the 2016 presidential race, Chris Christie stunned the political world by becoming the first major official to endorse Donald Trump. A friend of Trump's for fifteen years, the two-term New Jersey governor understood the future president as well as anyone in the political arena--and Christie quickly became one of Trump's most trusted advisers. Tapped with running Trump's transition team, Christie was nearly named his running mate. But within days of Trump's surprise victory over Hillary Clinton, Christie was in for his own surprise: he was being booted out.

Audiokniha: Anne Beddingfeldová, mladá a inteligentní žena se smyslem pro dobrodružství, se po náhlém skonu otce ocitne v tíživé situaci a přemýšlí, jak naložit se životem. Osud však rozhodne za ni, když se v londýnském metru stane svědkyní podivného úmrtí neznámého muže a nalezne lístek, který mrtvému sebral a poté poblíž místa nehody ztratil jiný, neméně záhadný muž. Brzy poté vyjde najevo, že nešťastná událost patrně souvisí s objevením uškrcené ženy v sídle člena parlamentu sira Eustace Pedlera. Anne se rozhodne přijít celé věci na kloub a stopy i náhoda ji zavedou na loď plující do Jižní Afriky... Muž v hnědém obleku (1924) je první přeložený román Agathy Christie do češtiny (1927). Autorka v něm s humorným nadhledem spojuje styl romantické četby se špionážně-kriminální linkou. Vedle hlavní hrdinky, emancipované a neohrožené dívky Anne se zde poprvé setkáváme s postavou plukovníka Race, kterému dala Agatha Christie prostor i ve svých dalších románech. Příběhu nechybí romantické kulisy, napětí (do poslední chvíle čtenář podezřívá několik postav), rozmanité dějové zápletky a v neposlední řadě všudypřítomný humor.

At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn't they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word "outside" when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringAgatha Christie is a global bestseller. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and adapted for stage and screen. Christie''s writing life ran from 1920 to the 1970s, and she didn''t just write puzzles, she wrote plays, supernatural stories, thrillers, satires, and domestic noir. She also commented obliquely but perceptively on the social and cultural changes of a troubled century. Christie''s work tells the story of a changing Britain, but perhaps her greatest achievement is not to be limited by that national context. Her stories achieve the rare feat of appearing both universal and specific and can seemingly be adapted for almost any context. This Very Short Introduction investigates why the novels of a middle-class, middlebrow Englishwoman were so successful, and why they continue to appeal to such a broad range of readers. Chapters explore the context of Christie''s writing, and the clue-puzzle detective fiction structure at which she excelled, but they also question the familiar assumptions that surround her and what we think we know about her work. Gill Plain examines Christie''s capacity to register the zeitgeist, and consider how her novels reveal anxieties surrounding gender roles, the family, war, justice, ethics, ...

A.E. Housman was one of the best-loved poets of his day, and A Shropshire Lad and Other Poems is a collection of poems whose elegant simplicity of form belies their hidden complexities. This Penguin Classics edition is introduced by Nick Laird with revisions by Archie Burnett and an afterword by John Sparrow.''What are those blue remembered hills,What spires, what farms are those?''In this collection, A. E. Housman''s poems, including''To an Athlete Dying Young'', ''Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now'' and ''When I Was One-and-Twenty'', conjure up a potent and idyllic rural world imbued with a poignant sense of loss and sadness. Their scope is wide - ranging from religious doubt and doomed love to intense nostalgia for the countryside and patriotic celebration of the life of the soldier - and they are made all the more memorable by their distinctive diction and perfectly modulated rhythm and sound.
