He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, “They killed the King.” 1660 England. General Edward Whalley and his son-in law Colonel William Goffe board a ship bound for the New World. They are on the run, wanted for the murder of King Charles I—a brazen execution that marked the culmination of the English Civil War, in which parliamentarians successfully battled royalists for control. But now, ten years after Charles’ beheading, the royalists have returned to power. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, the fifty-nine men who signed the king’s death warrant and participated in his execution have been found guilty in absentia of high treason. Some of the Roundheads, including Oliver Cromwell, are already dead. Others have been captured, hung, drawn, and quartered. A few are imprisoned for life. But two have escaped to America by boat. In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is charged with bringing the traitors to justice and he will stop at nothing to find them. A substantial bounty hangs over their heads for their capture—dead or alive. . . . Robert Harris’s first historical novel set predominantly in America, Act of Oblivion is a novel with an urgent narrative, remarkable characters, and an epic true story to tell of religion, vengeance, and power—and the costs to those who wield it.

Audiokniha: „Žádný duševně zdravý člověk se nemůže chtít stát papežem.“ Kardinála Lomeliho čeká mimořádně náročný úkol. Poté co si Svatého otce k sobě povolal Bůh, je na něm, aby se jako děkan kolegia kardinálů chopil organizace konkláve, jež světu oznámí jméno příštího Kristova náměstka na zemi. Za tímto účelem do Vatikánu dorazí sto sedmnáct kardinálů s hlasovacím právem – vlastně sto osmnáct, protože o existenci tajně jmenovaného bagdádského arcibiskupa Beníteze dosud věděl pouze zesnulý pontifik. Jak jeho přítomnost v Sixtinské kapli ovlivní komplikované vyjednávání o budoucí hlavě katolické církve? Odnese si klíče svatého Petra některý z favorizovaných kardinálů, stojících v čele jednotlivých frakcí: liberální intelektuál Bellini, všehoschopný kariérista Tremblay, charismatický revolucionář Adeyemi, obávaný tradicionalista Tedesco? A jakou roli v ostře sledované volbě nakonec sehraje pochybnostmi zmítaný Lomeli? Jisté je pouze to, že nikdo z kandidátů není dokonalý, každý cosi skrývá, ba i hříchy… Dramatický příběh ze zákulisí nejsledovanější volby světa se v říjnu 2024 dočkal filmové adaptace s Ralphem Fiennesem v hlavní roli. „Robert Harris provedl důkladné rešerše, a přestože nepřekračuje hranice fikce, nerozpakuje se román zasadit do ryzí současnosti, čímž umocňuje napětí.“ – The New York Times „Poučné čtení pro všechny, kdo se zajímají o to, jak katolická církev funguje uvnitř. Pro čtenáře vyhledávající díla tohoto specifického žánru pak čirá slast.“ – Kirkus Reviews „Zaletěl pohledem podél čtyř široce oddělených řad sedadel. Tváře moudré, znuděné, prostoupené náboženským vytržením, jeden kardinál spal. Takhle si představoval, že mohli vypadat senátoři v tógách ve starověkém Římě za časů republiky. Povšiml si vůdčích kandidátů – Belliniho, Tedesca, Adeyemiho, Tremblaye – seděli odděleně, každý zabraný do vlastních myšlenek, a jeho překvapilo, jak nedokonalý, nahodilý, lidmi vytvořený nástroj konkláve je. Nemělo žádný základ v Písmu svatém. V textu nikde nestálo, že by Bůh stvořil kardinály. Jak zapadali do svatopavelského obrazu Jeho církve jako živoucího těla?“ – ukázka z knihy

Píše se rok 1468. Mladý kněz Christopher Fairfax přijíždí do odlehlé vesnice ve Wessexu, aby vykonal pohřeb tamního faráře. Země v okolí je posetá starými artefakty – mincemi, úlomky skla, lidskými kostmi - které starý farář sbíral. Nevedla tato posedlost k jeho smrti? Fairfax se rozhoduje odhalit pravdu. V průběhu příštích šesti dnů bude vše, čemu věří, podrobeno zničující zkoušce. Poslední spánek je postapokalyptický román s nečekaným zvratem. Příběh se odehrává v budoucnosti, nikoli v minulosti. Dozvídáme se, že kolem roku 2025 se spletitě propojená globální společnost, o které dnes uvažujeme jako o čemsi naprosto samozřejmém, totálně zhroutila. Jak? Důvodů se nabízí víc. Mezi zbytky těch, kdo přežili, přinejmenším v Británii, se vynořil nový společenský řád pod vedením katolické církve. V novém kalendáři těchto lidí se rok 2025 stává rokem 666 (podle biblické „číslice šelmy“, jak je popsáno ve Zjevení Janově 13:15-18). Rok 1468 je tudíž od současnosti vzdálen do budoucnosti o více než 800 let. V Posledním spánku Harris zkoumá svět, který je neznámý a starý, a zároveň poukazuje na důsledky našeho flagrantního ignorování současných existenciálních nebezpečí. Staví nás do jádra záhady. Katastrofa, která postihla svět, je důsledkem naší chamtivosti a ctižádostivosti, naší arogance. Zodpovědní jsme za to my všichni…

Robert Forczyk covers the development of armoured warfare in North Africa from the earliest Anglo-Italian engagements in 1940 to the British victory over the German Afrikakorps in Operation Crusader in 1941. The war in the North African desert was pure mechanized warfare, and in many respects the most technologically advanced theatre of World War II. It was also the only theatre where for three years British and Commonwealth, and later US, troops were in constant contact with Axis forces. World War II best-selling author Robert Forczyk explores the first half of the history of the campaign, from the initial Italian offensive and the arrival of Rommelâ ™s Panzergruppe Afrika to the British Operation Crusader offensive that led to the relief of Tobruk. He examines the armoured forces, equipment, doctrine, training, logistics and operations employed by both Allied and Axis forces throughout the period, focusing especially on the brigade and regimental level of operations.Fully illustrated throughout with photographs, profile artwork and maps, and featuring tactical-level vignettes and appendices analysing tank data, tank deliveries in-theatre and orders of battle, this book goes back to the sources to provide a new study of armoured warfare in the desert.

An important reminder on what keeps us from being truly freeJesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18). As believers, we have Christ and never need to be afraid. Yet it’s also true that we are not immune to the effects of evil. Christ has conquered sin and death, but in his infinite wisdom—for reasons that are often difficult for us to understand—evil is still permitted to exist. Even if we’re saved and trust in Christ, we may still find areas in which we just can’t get victory. Maybe it’s a sin we’ve confessed again and again or a constant struggle with depression, anger, or lust. These long-imbedded patterns of shameful living continue to entangle us day after day, month after month, and even year after year.In Truly Free best-selling author Robert Morris invites us into a glorious truth—that the promise of being set free from the slavery of sin is a promise to be set free completely. Although evil is real and Christians can be oppressed by it, we have the promise that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus saves us, trains us to resist the power of evil, and delivers us from anything that holds us back. With Jesus, we can be truly free forever.

No figure in twentieth century history more clearly demands a close biographical understanding than Adolf Hitler; and no period is more important than the Second World War.

Magisterial ... anyone who wishes to understand the third reich must read Kershaw, for no on has done more to lay bare Hitler s morbid psyche Niall Ferguson, Sunday Telegraph An achievement of the very highest order ... a marvellous book Michael Burleigh, Financial Times No previous biographer has examined Hitler s devilishness in Kershaw s detail ... his book is so comprehensive, so richly documented and so judicious that it will not soon be superseded Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph Ian Kershaw s other books include Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis, Making Friends with Hitler, Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World 1940-4 and The End: Hitler s Germany, 1944-45.

Listed as one of the Guardian s 100 Best Nonfiction Books of All Time. In September 1945 the fate of Adolf Hitler was a complete mystery. He had simply disappeared, and had been missing for four months. Hugh Trevor-Roper, an intelligence officer, was given the task of solving the mystery. His brilliant piece of detective work not only proved finally that Hitler had killed himself in Berlin, but also produced one of the most fascinating history books ever written. The Last Days of Hitler tells the extraordinary story of those last days of the Thousand Year Reich in the Berlin Bunker. Besieged in the shattered capital, but still dominating the remains of his court, Hitler reiterated the original alternative of Nazism: either total victory or annihilation. This book is the record of that carefully prepared, ceremonious finale to a terrible chapter of history. Brilliantly written and researched, The Last Days of Hitler remains the most vivid account of the final Wagnerian chapter of Hitler s tyranny â “ Max Hastings This is an incomparable book, by far the best written on any aspect of the second German war: a book sound in scholarship, brilliant in its presentation . . . No words of praise are too strong. â “ A. J. P. Taylor, New Statesman

Where does business come from? That s the question every real estate agent asks but few have a truthful answer for. In an industry constantly selling the easy button and overrun with shiny widgets, agents are pulled in multiple directions at once, each promising that if they just do this, their dreams of success and fortune will come true. After 20 years in the business, thousands of home sales, and hundreds of thousands of coaching calls, Tim and Julie Harris tell the hard truths about what it really takes to make it in real estate. The new, revised edition of Harris Rules outlines specific, actionable, and proven rules of engagement that any agent -- rookie or veteran -- can count on as they pursue their real-estate funded goals and dreams. Harris Rules lays the groundwork, beginning with how agents need to think about the business. Moving them forward with a step-by-step action plan, Tim and Julie show agents how to create longevity by scaling the business and then teach them how to monetize it. In this book, you ll learn: - How to control your mindset to get more things done, even when you don t feel like it; - The ideal schedule of a top-producing agent and how to focus it on what matters, profit; - Why you can t rely on only one method of generating leads; - How to use the proven Seven-Step Listing Process to win the listing virtually every time; - How to really achieve financial freedom. With all-new case studies, resources, and Q As for the highly motivated agent, Harris Rules covers tricky topics with much-needed frankness: making a profit, why having a team isn t the golden calf, gaining multiple lead sources (that you don t have to pay for!), focusing on listings, and the fact that repetitious boredom does pay off. Tim and Julie will tell you the truth: Harris Rules is the savvy agent s all-inclusive, no-BS guide to succeed in real estate.

In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. Schroeder remained by Hitler⠙s side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder⠙s testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s. An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years With Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller⠙s interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast. Albert Zoller was a French liaison officer who interviewed Adolf Hitler s private secretary Christa Schroeder while she was in detention in the Augsburg camp, Germany, in 1945.

At the beginning of 1940 Germany was at the pinnacle of its power. By May 1945 Hitler was dead and Germany had suffered a disastrous defeat.Hitler had failed to achieve his aim of making Germany a super power and had left her people to cope with the endless shame of the Holocaust. In The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940-1945, Professor Frank McDonough charts the dramatic change of fortune for the Third Reich, and challenges long-held accounts of the Holocaust and Germany s ultimate defeat. Despite Hitler s grand ambitions and the successful early stages of the Third Reich s advances into Europe, Frank McDonough argues that Germany was only ever a middle-ranking power and never truly stood a chance against the combined forces of the Allies.

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism.Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded.As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler.Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE NAZI MIND You have to read it Volodymyr Zelensky Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account Professor Sir Ian Kershaw In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original Antony BeevorTwo tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history.Hitler s charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin s regimented rule by fear; and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin s change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler s case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met Germans who worked for Hitler and Russians who worked for Stalin - challenges long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most important figures in history. This is a master work from one of our finest historians.

Meticulous... Probably the most disturbing portrait of Hitler I have ever read Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times By the summer of 1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. Yet despite initial triumphs in the early stages of war, the Fuhrer s fortunes would turn dramatically as the conflict raged on. Realising that victory was lost, and with Soviet troops closing in on his Berlin bunker, Hitler committed suicide in April 1945; one week later, Nazi Germany surrendered. His murderous ambitions had not only annihilated his own country, but had cost the lives of millions across Europe. In the final volume of this landmark biography, Volker Ullrich argues that the very qualities - and the defects - that accounted for Hitler s popularity and rise to power were what brought about his ruin. A keen strategist and meticulous military commander, he was also a deeply insecure gambler who could be shaken by the smallest setback, and was quick to blame subordinates for his own disastrous mistakes. Drawing on a wealth of new sources and scholarship, this is the definitive portrait of the man who dragged the world into chaos.

In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the centre of Harris Reed⠙s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity⠙s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Harris⠙s work constantly disrupts the divide between men s and women s clothing. His pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé⠔and with each piece he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris s design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, reasoning that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Harris Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.

Discover never-before-told details of POW underground operations during the Vietnam War told through one airman s inspiring story of true love, honor, and courage.Air Force pilot Captain Carlyle Smitty Harris was shot down over Vietnam on April 4, 1965 and taken to the infamous Hoa Lo prison--nicknamed the Hanoi Hilton. For the next eight years, Smitty and hundreds of other American POWs--including John McCain and George Bud Day--suffered torture, solitary confinement, and unimaginable abuse.It was there that Smitty covertly taught many other POWs the Tap Code--an old, long-unused method of communication from World War II. Using the code, they could softly tap messages of encouragement to lonely neighbors and pass along resistance policies from their leaders. The code quickly became a lifeline during their internment. It helped the prisoners boost morale, stay unified, communicate the chain of command, and prevail over a brutal enemy.Meanwhile, back home in the United States, Harris s wife, Louise, raised their three children alone, unsure of her husband s fate for seven long years. One of the first POW wives of the Vietnam War, she became a role model for other military wives by advocating for herself and her children in her husband s absence.Told through both Smitty s and Louise s voices, Tap Code shares the riveting true story of:Ingenuity under pressureStrength and dignity in the face of a frightening enemyThe hope, faith, and resolve necessary to endure even the darkest circumstancesPraise for Tap Code: Tap Code is an incredible story about two American heroes. Col. Smitty Harris and his wife, Louise, epitomize the definition of commitment--to God, to country, and to family. This tale of extreme perseverance will restore your faith in the human spirit. --Brigadier General John Nichols, USAF The incomprehensibly long ordeal of the Harris family is agonizing.

**THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD** In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning classic that changed the way we look at meditation. A sceptic s guide to meditation . . . I loved it - Ruby Wax An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite a personal look at the benefits of meditation - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love We all have an inner narrator. It s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our emails compulsively, eating when we re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume we re stuck with this voice - but Dan Harris stumbled upon an effective way to quiet his mind.After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head. 10% Happier is considered a classic text on the power of meditation and an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened sceptic. This 10th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Dan Harris and a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to build a meditation habit.
