Bledý jezdec - Bernard Cornwell - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Nevěří v Boha ani svého krále, přesto na něm závisí osud křesťanského království… Mladý northumbrijský velmož Uhtred z Bebbanburgu pomohl Sasům zvítězit nad vikinskými nájezdníky v bitvě u Cynuitu, během níž vlastnoručně připravil o život obávaného válečníka Ubbu Lothbroksona. Nyní však západosaské království Wessex čelí novému přílivu krvelačných Dánů, který zažene krále Alfreda a jeho věrné až do nepřístupných bažin, kde jsou nuceni skrývat se před nepřáteli jako nějací psanci. Zbožný panovník usilující o sjednocení Anglie, jemuž historie dala přídomek Veliký, se však nevzdává a pomalu shromažďuje vojsko, s nímž chce pohanské vetřelce vyhnat ze své země. Uhtred hraje v jeho plánech klíčovou roli, jejich vztah ovšem není zrovna ideální – horkokrevný mladý válečník totiž chová více sympatií k divokým Seveřanům než ke svému králi, který spíše než středověkého rytíře připomíná křesťanského světce. Jemu však přísahal věrnost a také by jednou rád získal zpět své panství, k čemuž by mu mohl dopomoci právě Alfred. Tedy pokud nad dánskou přesilou dokáže s Boží pomocí zvítězit… Pokračování dobrodružné ságy z raně středověké Anglie, která se stala předlohou úspěšného seriálu Poslední království. „Meče, štíty, bahno a krev. V rukou mistra skvělé rekvizity.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Tak důmyslně a energicky odvyprávěné historické příběhy, jaké píše Cornwell, jsou nedostatkovým zbožím.“ – Bill Sheehan, The Washington Post.

Audiokniha: „Vedl mě osud. Psal se rok osmistý sedmdesátý osmý, bylo mi jednadvacet let a věřil jsem, že jsem schopen dosáhnout svým mečem všeho na světě…“ Po vítězství v bitvě u Ethandunu má Uhtred z Bebbanburgu věru co slavit: šiky nepřátelských nájezdníků byly rozprášeny a Alfredovo království Wessex přežilo z nemalé části právě jeho přičiněním. Srdnatý mladík však nezapomíná na křivdy, které mu kdysi způsobil zlovolný strýc Ælfric, a míří proto do Northumbrie, aby se pomstil za útrapy v útlém dětství. Jenže býčí odhodlání ani rytířská horkokrevnost nebudou bijci nic platné, poleví-li v ostražitosti. Ironií osudu namísto na bebbanburský trůn usedá k veslu otrokářského plavidla, z nějž očividně nelze uniknout jinak než coby mrtvola hozená přes palubu. Uhtred si však umanul v plánu vytrvat a pátrá, kde nechal tesař díru. A poštěstí se mu. Schyluje se totiž k další řeži, která může rozhodnout o osudu Anglie – a u té on rozhodně nehodlá chybět… Třetí díl dobrodružné ságy z raně středověké Anglie, která se stala předlohou úspěšného televizního seriálu Poslední království. „Cornwell opět potvrzuje, že historické fikci kraluje. Předkládá příběh plný krvežíznivého válčení a neméně sveřepé cti, okořeněný v pravou chvíli trefným humorem.“ – Library Journal. „Nádherně zpracovaný příběh doplněný výtečně vykreslenými bitevními scénami je natolik poutavý, že se čtenář jen málokdy zastaví, aby popadl dech. V časech, které zobrazuje, by byl jeho tvůrce nejžádanějším bavičem Alfredova dvora.“ – Daily Mail. „Vskutku mimořádné vyprávění se zakládá na velmi podrobném průzkumu mentality anglosaské éry. – Observer. „Autor vytahuje na světlo přízraky historie devátého století a obaluje jejich kostry novým, živým masem. Díky němu je svět krále Alfreda znovu obnoven, dokonale podložen a s vášní mistra vypravěče také barvitě vykreslen.“ – Justin Pollard, autor knihy Alfréd Veliký.

Conquer the command line - Richard Smedley

Sometimes only words will do. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were a great advance, creating an easy route into computer use for many non-technical users. For complex tasks, though, the interface can become a limitation: blocking off choices, and leaving a circuitous route even for only moderately complicated jobs.(Re-)Enter the command line: the blinking cursor that many thought had faded away in the 1990s. For getting instructions from user to computer — in a clear, quick, and unambiguous form — the command line is often the best way. It never disappeared on UNIX systems, and now, thanks to Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi, a new generation is discovering the power of the command line to simplify complex tasks, or instantly carry out simple ones.Master essential skills:Read and write text filesFind install softwareManage removable storageUse Secure Shell for remote accessCreate Raspberry Pi SD cardsGoing online in the command lineand much, much more.If you re not comfortable when faced with the $ prompt, then don t panic! In this fully updated book, we ll quickly make you feel at home, and able to find your way around the terminal on the Pi, or any other GNU/Linux computer: getting things done, and unlocking the power of the command line.Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices and hardware, this book has everything you need to get started.

Manifesto - Bernardine Evaristová

This honest, engaging memoir shares such gems . . . the perfect read for anyone who dreams big The Times and Sunday Times, Books of the Year The powerful, urgent memoir and manifesto on never giving up from Booker prize-winning trailblazer, Bernardine EvaristoIn 2019, Bernardine Evaristo became the first black woman to win the Booker Prize since its inception fifty years earlier - a revolutionary landmark for Britain. Her journey was a long one, but she made it, and she made history.Manifesto is her intimate and fearless account of how she did it. From a childhood steeped in racism from neighbours, priests and even some white members of her own family, to discovering the arts through her local youth theatre; from stuffing her belongings into bin bags, always on the move between temporary homes, to exploring many romantic partners both toxic and loving, male and female, and eventually finding her soulmate; from setting up Britain s first theatre company for Black women in the eighties to growing into the trailblazing writer, theatre-maker, teacher, mentor and activist we see today - Bernardine charts her rebellion against the mainstream and her life-long commitment to community and creativity. And, through the prism of her extraordinary experiences, she offers vital insights into the nature of race, class, feminism, sexuality and ageing in modern Britain.Bernardine Evaristo s life story is a manifesto for courage, integrity, optimism, resourcefulness and tenacity. It s a manifesto for anyone who has ever stood on the margins, and anyone who wants to make their mark on history. It s a manifesto for being unstoppable. Raw and emotive . . . a powerful account of how Evaristo got to the top of her game - it s moving, but there s also much humour and joy Independent Bernardine Evaristo is one of those writers who should be read by everyone, everywhere Elif Shafak Bernardine Evaristo is one of Britain s best writers, an iconic and unique voice, filled with warmth, subtlety and humanity.

German Command Headquarters in the West - Jean Paul Pallud

The Wehrmacht won a quick victory in the West in 1940, the Netherlands and Belgium capitulated in May, and France signed an armistice on June 22. Heeresgruppe A remained in France and Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt and his staff established themselves at Saint-Germain-en-Laye and they soon worked on drawing up provisional instructions for Operation Seelöwe , the invasion of Great Britain. In October, von Rundstedt was appointed Commander-in-Chief West (Oberbefehlshaber West or Ob. West for short) and made responsible for all the German-occupied territory in western Europe. In April 1941, he and his staff were secretly moved to the East to take command of the right wing of the offensive against Russia and the function of Ob. West was taken over by Generalfeldmarschall Erwin von Witzleben. In March 1942 von Witzleben took leave of his command due to ill health and from the 8th, von Rundstedt returned as Commander-in-Chief in the West. It was from Saint-Germain that the Ob. West, von Rundstedt, faced the Allied landing in Normandy in June 1944, the invasion as the Germans called it. The German forces were unable to stop the Allied operation, Hitler found fault with the local commanders and decided to relieve von Rundstedt of his command. Generalfeldmarschall Günther von Kluge was then appointed Ob. West and it was a grim situation that he inherited upon his arrival at Saint-Germain on July 3. Saint-Germain thus saw four of the most important Field Marshals of the Third Reich successively assuming command of the Ob. West, and a fifth, the famous Erwin Rommel, was also part of the story. Of these five Generalfeldmarschalls, three died for their involvement in the plot to eliminate Hitler, or for their sympathy with the conspiracy: von Witzleben was executed after an express judgment, and von Kluge and Rommel committed suicide. The Ob. West has left Saint-Germain with some remarkable constructions, most of which are still visible today, nestled in the city, witnesses to this strange episode in the history of the city.
