Crozon je městečko na západě Bretaně - právě tam místní knihovník, samotář a podivín, inspirovaný Richardem Brautiganem, založí knihovnu odmítnutých rukopisů. A knihovna se zdárně plní… Po letech navštíví rodnou Bretaň mladá redaktorka věhlasného pařížského nakladatelství, jejíž kariéra je na zářném vzestupu. Na kontě má několik skvělých objevů, poslední dobou to však poněkud vázne a objevila se i nějaká ta šlápnutí vedle… Na jednom z výletů se svým přítelem-spisovatelem narazí na v té době už trochu pozapomenutou knihovnu odmítnutých rukopisů - a záhy v ní objeví majstrštyk, literární skvost, perlu mezi knihami, napsanou jistým Henri Pickem, místním výrobcem pizzy, jenž je už několik let po smrti. Když se vydají po jeho stopách, zjistí, že nic v jeho životě nenasvědčuje tomu, že by kdy napsal jedinou řádku, kromě pohlednice, kterou kdysi poslal dceři na letní tábor.Jeho dílo je ale zde a pomalu se z něj stává senzace literárního roku, kniha, která mnoha lidem, od čtenářů po literární kritiky, zcela zpřevrátí životy… David Foenkinos s nadhledem a ironií zlomyslně míří do vlastních řad, zručně míchá skutečné postavy s hrdiny fiktivními, přičemž ani podoba těch druhých s žijícími osobami není náhodná, vtipně zobrazuje fungování literárního světa i jeho zákulisí a téměř spiklenecky do příběhu pro čtenáře vsunuje odkazy na známá i méně známá literární díla a anekdoty ze světa knih. "Inteligentní, zábavné, kruté." - Bernard Pivot, Le journal de dimanche "V rámci francouzské literatury mám velice rád Foenkise, jelikož opouští konvence a s každou knihou se dokáže proměnit." - Joël Dicker

A wryly funny story about a struggling Parisian writer who finds the heroine of his next novel right outside his apartment“Foenkinos is at his best in this playful novel” — Elle“A charming, clever book” — The IndependentIs it true that every life is the stuff of novels? Or are some people just too ordinary?This is the question a struggling Parisian writer asks when he challenges himself to write about the first person he sees when he steps outside his apartment. Secretly hoping to meet the beautiful woman who occasionally smokes on his street, he instead sets eyes on octogenarian Madeleine. She''s happy to become the subject of his project, but first she needs to put her shopping away.Is it really true, the writer wonders, that every life is the stuff of novels, or is his story doomed to be hopelessly banal? As he gets to know Madeleine and her family, he’ll be privy to their secrets: lost loves, marital problems and workplace worries. And he’ll soon realise he is not the impartial bystander he intended to be, but a catalyst for major changes in the lives of his characters.Told with Foenkinos’s characteristic irony and self-deprecating humour, yet filled with warmth, The Martins is a compelling tale of the family next door which raises questions about what it means to be ‘ordinary’, and about the blurred lines between truth and fiction. Light yet profound, it’s another deeply charming story by this beloved French author.

David Mitchell's 2014 bestseller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything's got worse. We've gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It's probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up. But if you're determined to give it a go, you might enjoy this eclectic collection (or eclection) of David Mitchell's attempts to make light of all that darkness. Scampi, politics, the Olympics, terrorism, exercise, rude street names, inheritance tax, salad cream, proportional representation and farts are all touched upon by Mitchell's unremitting laser of chit-chat, as he negotiates a path between the commercialisation of Christmas and the true spirit of Halloween. Read this book and slightly change your life!

This volume is an in-depth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the Second Age of Middle-earth, one of the least-explored periods of Arda's history.The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age, is the follow up companion to the best-selling The Illustrated World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Numenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkien's sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.

In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community.

The period from 1939 to 1945 saw some of the most devastating and remarkable events in living memory. Laboring beneath a daily burden of fear, sacrifice, deprivation and uncertainty, soldiers and civilians of all nationalities were driven to extremes of selfless loyalty, dogged determination or bitter cruelty by the demands of a world at war. This book tells the stories of the men and women who lived and died during the Second World War, from politicians to factory workers, and from High Command to the conscripted men on the front lines. The experience of war is brought to life through a wealth of contemporary documentation, private writings and historical research, whilst the political, military, and historical significance of the war is assessed and examined. From Europe''s Western and Eastern Fronts to the war at sea, and from the Pacific to the Mediterranean and North Africa, every fighting front of the Second World War is covered in this truly comprehensive volume.

A Times Best Art Book of 2022Reproductions of the young Lucian Freud’s letters alongside insightful context and commentary reveal the foundations of the artist’s personality and creative practice. The young Lucian Freud was described by his friend Stephen Spender as ‘totally alive, like something not entirely human, a leprechaun, a changeling child, or, if there is a male opposite, a witch.’ All that magnetism and brilliance is displayed in the letters assembled here. Ranging from schoolboy messages to his parents, through letters and carefully-chosen, often embellished postcards to friends, lovers and confidants, to correspondence with patrons and associates. They are peppered with wit, affection and irreverence. Alongside rarely seen photographs and Freud’s extraordinary works, each chapter charts Freud’s evolving art alongside intimate accounts of his life. We trace Freud’s early friendships with Stephen Spender, John Craxton, his wild days at art school in East Anglia, and a stint as a merchant seaman. Among the highlights are Freud’s accounts of his first trip to Paris in 1946 and encounters with Picasso, Alexander Calder and Giacometti (who, he thought, looked like Harpo Marx). Equally revealing are letters to and from his first love, Lorna Wishart and second wife, Caroline Blackwood. Among his friends and confidantes were Sonia Orwell and Ann Fleming: remarkable, hitherto unknown letters to both of whom are included. To Ann Fleming he wrote a richly-comic, six-page description of a high society fancy dress ball which took place at Biarritz in 1953. He also went to stay with Ann and her husband Ian in their house in Jamaica, Goldeneye. From there, he sent a stream of letters, plus a telegram to his colleagues at the Slade School of Fine Art (where he was supposed to be teaching): “PLEASE SEND TEN SHEETS GREY GREEN INGRES PAPER”. The volume ends in early 1954 with his inclusion at the age of 31, as one of the artists representing Britain at the Venice Biennale - the high point of his early career. Co-authored by David Dawson and Martin Gayford, this is the first published collection of Freud’s correspondence, many brought to light for the first time. Reproduced in facsimile alongside reproductions of Freud’s artwork, the letters are linked by a narrative that weaves them into the story of his life and relationships through his formative first three decades. Collectively, they provide a powerful insight into his early life and art.

1978, Jonestown.909 dead—two children survive.Where are they now?In the shadow of one of history''s darkest chapters, a chilling secret awaits...Two children, survivors of the Jonestown nightmare, fled through the treacherous jungles in Guyana to escape the madness. Upon their return to America, they were granted new identities, a fresh start, and the hope of a "second life."But almost forty years later, the past resurfaces in an unexpected and ominous way. In the heart of San Francisco, crime reporter Will Finch stumbles upon an abandoned Armani jacket in an inner-city playground. Little does he know that this seemingly innocuous discovery holds a cryptic message, one that threatens to shatter the lives of Will Finch and his partner Eve Noon — and make them the next victims of the Jonestown massacre.Inspired by true events, Second Life will grip you from the very first page and refuse to let go until you reach the final, heart-pounding sentence. D.F. Bailey masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense that catapults you on a mesmerizing journey from an historic catastrophe to a prophecy of mass annihilation.Second Life — where the past awakens, and the future teeters on the precipice of darkness.Author Q & A with D. F. BaileyQ: Your title, Second Life, hints at something more than a dreary 9-to-5 existence. How does it fit into your thriller series?DFB: The title is derived from an ancient quote by Confucius: “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” When I first read that sentence, I thought, now here''s a different way of looking at things. It really struck me with its insight. When you consider our brief life here on Earth, this sort of awareness can inspire people to take up a cause. For good—or for evil. So I drew my title from it since it suggests a noir murder mystery.Q: You’re known for your crime fiction series and psychological thrillers with a twist. How do they relate to the Jonestown disaster?DFB: Until 9-11 the Jonestown massacre marked the largest civilian slaughter in American history. It took place in South America, in a remote jungle in Guyana, but the victims were mostly Americans, followers of Jim Jones’s Temple which was once based in San Francisco. Some argue that the event wasn’t a massacre—that it was mass suicide—but over a third of the victims were children led to their deaths by their utterly deluded parents. The trite phrase, “They drank the Kool-Aid,” is their enduring legacy. It serves to warn us of the malignant power of religious cults.Q: And two of those children escaped?DFB: That’s the fictional premise. I wanted to explore what might happen to children who survived the disaster on November 18, 1978. That’s where Will Finch comes in. If you’ve read the first three books in the series you know that Finch is not a superhero. However, he’s smart, tough, determined. Bent, but not broken.Q: Other than Will Finch and Eve Noon, do any characters from the previous novels appear in Second Life?DFB: Absolutely. Fiona Page and Wally Gimbel are alive and kicking. And Gabe Finkleman, who was introduced in Lone Hunter, is now a rising force at the San Francisco eXpress.Q: I thought the first three books—Bone Maker, Stone Eater, and Lone Hunter—formed a trilogy. Does Second Life change your mystery and suspense series books into a quartet?DFB: No, the trilogy stands as a complete, three-part unit. Second Life is the first of what I hope will be a continuing thriller series that builds on the characters introduced in the trilogy. If you liked the trilogy, I think you’ll enjoy Second Life, too.

How did she get there from her hostel at the Sovereign Grace Mission, and why does Stevie find obstacles at every turn? Italy, 1943: As the Allies fight Mussolini’s troops, a group of young soldiers are separated from their platoon, and Glaswegian Jamesie Campbell, his newfound friend Michael McTavish at his side, finds himself free to make his own rules… Glasgow, 1969: Courtroom sketch artist Donald ‘Doodle’ Malpas is shocked to discover that his new case involves the murder of a teenage Lithuanian girl he knows from the Sovereign Grace Mission. Why hasn’t the girl’s death been reported? And why is a young police constable suddenly so keen to join the mission? No one seems willing to join the dots between the two cases, and how they link to Raskine House, the stately home in the Scottish countryside with a dark history and even darker present – the venue for the debauched parties held there by the rich and powerful of the city who call themselves ‘The Weekenders’. Painting a picture of a 1960s Glasgow in the throes of a permissive society, pulled apart by religion, corruption, and a murderous Bible John stalking the streets, The Weekenders is a snapshot of an era of turmoil – and a terrifying insight into the mind of a ruthless criminal… _________________ ‘An alchemical epic that flies through decades while managing to remain deeply grounded in real lives and the battle for truth. Bravo!’ Ewan Morrison ‘This fiction is furious. David F. Ross goes deep and dark, in an attempt to understand the criminal mind … [and] writes with a righteous anger as he examines the evil that men do’ Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae ‘David Ross has a seemingly natural gift for pungently memorable phrasing and dialogue that feels you’re listening in rather than reading’ Damian Barr ‘Stark, uncompromising and gritty, David F. Ross takes us to a dark place that is no easy weekend away’ Douglas Skelton ‘Excruciating vulnerability meets the harsh daily realities of sixties’ Glasgow and the brutal machismo of its poisonous, smoke-filled institutions. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor, David F. Ross’s style has been honed to perfection’ Callum McSorley ‘A gripping tale of secrets and excess, and a stylish, mesmerising thriller, boldly delivered in Ross’ signature style’ George Paterson Praise for David F. Ross 'A dazzling, time-hopping patchwork of pop and politics, sewn together with wit and compassion' Kirstin Innes 'This amiable and ambitious transatlantic extravaganza is a busy social tapestry pegged to real-life events in Scotland and the US … Ross's affection for his characters shines through. There's so much going on here that value for money is pretty much all but guaranteed' Daily Mail 'A mesmerising road trip through the America of Kerouac, Warhol and Reagan. Dashboard Elvis may be dead, but this book is full of vibrant, authentic, colourful life' Stuart Cosgrove 'Few do raw, authentic, almost palpably believable characters better than David F.

A revelatory new account of the Second World War—and how bitter competition between the Allies would shape the postwar world  In June 1944, an Allied army of British, American, and Canadian troops sought to open up a Second Front in Normandy. But they were not only fighting to bring the Second World War to an end. After decades of Anglo-American struggle for dominance, they were also contending with one another—to determine who would ascend to global hegemony once Hitler’s armies fell.  Marc Milner traces this bitter rivalry as it emerged after the First World War and evolved during the fragile peace which led to the Second. American media and domestic politics dominated the Allied powers’ military strategy, overshadowing the contributions of Britain and the remarkably critical role played by Canada in establishing this Second Front.  Culminating in the decisive Normandy campaign, Milner shows how the struggle for supremacy between Churchill and Roosevelt changed the course of the Second World War—and how their rivalry shaped our understanding of the Normandy campaign, and the war itself.

A simple and accessible exploration of the best-selling author of Letting Go and Power vs. Force, David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. most famous work, The Map of Consciousness, that will help you to experience healing and transcendence. World-renowned author, psychiatrist, clinician, spiritual teacher, and researcher of consciousness David R. Hawkins shares that we are all born with an energetic frequency within the vast field of consciousness. And with The Map of Consciousness, we can truly understand the total spectrum of human emotions and consciousness. Using a unique muscle-testing method, Dr. David R. Hawkins conducted more than 250,000 calibrations during 20 years of research to define a range of values, attitudes, and emotions that correspond to levels of consciousness. This range of values-along with a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1,000-became the Map of Consciousness, which Dr. David R. Hawkins first wrote about in his best-selling book, Power vs. Force. With the Map, Dr. David R. Hawkins laid out the entire spectrum of consciousness, from the lower levels of Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Fear, Anger, and Pride; to Courage, Acceptance, and Reason; all the way up to the more expanded levels of Love, Ecstasy, Peace, and Enlightenment. These "higher" energy fields are a carrier wave of immense life energy. An essential primer on the late Dr. David R. Hawkins''s teachings on human consciousness and their associated energy fields, The Map of Consciousness Explained offers an introduction and deeper understanding of the Map, with visual charts and practical applications to help you heal, recover, and evolve to higher levels of consciousness and energy. This enlightening book transcends the boundaries of conventional wisdom, integrating the realms of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality in a powerful exploration of human consciousness and human potential to help you be more effective in every area of your life.Some highlights include:– A thoughtful fusion of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality.– A comprehensive interpretation of the law of attraction and its intrinsic link with consciousness and personal evolution. – A scientifically grounded guide to harness the power of positive thinking and its practical applications.– An insightful perspective on the ''power vs force'' dynamic, offering fresh insights into personal and professional relationships.– An enriching collection of practical exercises and affirmations designed to awaken and energize your consciousness.Dr. David R. Hawkins has a remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts. Whether you''re in search of motivational books for women, leadership books for aspiring entrepreneurs, or behavior books to comprehend the nuances of human interaction, this book can revolutionize how you perceive and interact with the world, inspiring profound transformation and positive change."That which weakens life energy is to be avoided: shame, guilt, confusion, fear, hatred, pride, hopelessness, and falsehood. That which uplifts life is to be realized: truth, courage, acceptance, reason, love, beauty, joy, and peace." –David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.Whether you''re a scholar, a personal growth enthusiast, or simply on a path of self-discovery, this book will help you live with more awareness and lead a more conscious and fulfilling life.

This book applies a psycholinguistic perspective to instructed second language acquisition, seeking to bridge the gap between second language acquisition research and language teaching practices. It challenges the traditional divide between conscious and unconscious processes, or explicit and implicit learning, and re-envisions this as a continuum of the varying levels of consciousness which can be applied by learners to different language behaviors in the second language classroom. It applies this model to learner development and the classroom context, discussing pedagogical applications for instructors at all levels. This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in second language acquisition, psycholinguistics and language pedagogy. The accessible discussion of research findings, pedagogical approaches and classroom tasks and activities make this book particularly relevant for language teachers, providing the tools needed to apply second language acquisition research in their classroom.

Audiokniha: Grossmanův nový román je rodinné drama – příběh tří generací silných žen. Temné události z minulosti otrávily jejich vztahy a neúprosně je přivedly zpět k sobě. Společně se vydávají na cestu na ostrov Goli otok u chorvatského pobřeží. Nyní devadesátiletá Vera zde strávila tři roky ve vězení za Titova režimu v 50. letech, když odmítla zradit svého manžela Miloše, neprávem obviněného z velezrady. Příběh o zranění, které se přenáší z generace na generaci, o děsivé síle tajemství a o lásce, která nevyprchá ani po letech, kdy už milovaný člověk nežije. Příběh odvahy, rodičovské volby a jejích důsledků...
