Taking the Risk is Hilary Bradt''s engaging, insightful, amusing and sometimes alarming memoir about serendipitous adventures in travel and publishing. A travel industry trailblazer who co-founded Bradt Guides, Hilary looks back on 50 years of escapades, surprises, mishaps, disasters. and success. From her first solo trip aged three (on a British beach), she revisits six decades of hitch-hiking, feeding the travel habit by working abroad, and starting a successful travel-publishing company where knowing nothing proved a surprising asset. Barely into her twenties, Hilary Bradt thumbed lifts around the Middle East for three months before spending four years working and travelling in the US. Between 1973 and 1976 Hilary explored, and worked in, South America and Africa with her then husband George, often journeying through literally uncharted territory in their quest for new hiking routes. The discovery of an ancient trail to Machu Picchu unexpectedly inspired their first guidebook. From 1977 the pair wrote several backpacking guides, and set up Bradt Guides. This was just as well, because Hilary''s career in occupational therapy ended when potential employers noticed that time taken off for travel exceeded periods of employment. During the 1980s, Bradt Guides grew and became successful - but that didn''t ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Édouard Glissant was a leading voice in debates centering on the postcolonial condition and on the present and future of globalisation. Prolific as both a theorist and a literary author, Glissant started his career as a contemporary of Frantz Fanon in the early days of francophone postcolonial thought. In the latter part of his career Glissant’s vision pushed beyond the boundaries of postcolonialism to encompass the contemporary phenomenon of globalisation.Sam Coombes offers a detailed analysis of Glissant’s thought, setting out the reasons why Glissant’s vision for a world of intercultural interaction both reflects but also seeks to provide a correction to some of the leading tendencies commonly associated with contemporary theory today.

In Inside Stories, Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to curate and arrange those objects and possessions that make up the stuff of life, from treasured artworks and decorative accessories to everyday objects such as hats, baskets and bicycles.In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary considers four different approaches to creating arrangements – intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial—and shows how each one can be achieved. She considers the variety of display locations available within the home—walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops—and suggests how to make the most of them with decorative vignettes. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary casts her stylist’s eye over interiors that fall into five different styles—Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture, and Noble Salvage. As she reveals, some people are magpies—they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it—while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists, and everyone in between.

New Yorker cartoonist and author of Murder Book Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell returns with a riotous and radically candid comic memoir about snacks, connection, and developing a taste for freedom.From standup comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, and the author of Murder Book comes this fresh comics memoir about being a snacker in a world of foodies. With equal parts humor and unflinching honesty, Hilary traces her life story through food: from her childhood as the ultimate picky eater, her teenage and young adult years of disordered eating, and finally learning to love herself again. Punctuated throughout with ridiculous (but very real! and important!) snack recipes like "a baggie of goldfish" and "burnt toast," Campbell captures the reality of growing up in a woman's body in the '90s and '00s in how it shaped her life in work, friendship, and dating. Especially dating. Aren't we all seeking love, self-acceptance, and a good snack to get you through it? These hilarious stories of family, romance, and belonging prove that if food can isolate us, it also has the power to connect us to what matters most.

Tento povídkový soubor uznávané a oceňované autorky vyvolal v Británii skandál - jedná se sice o sbírku textů vesměs publikovaných časopisecky, ale titulní povídka vyšla v tomto souboru poprvé. Mantelová se za znevážení britské ikony dočkala nevybíravých útoků, jenomže kritici jako by nebrali na vědomí, že v povídce se sice objevuje Margaret Thatcherová a míří se na ni puškou, ale že Mantelové jde o něco jiného - popsat křehkou vazbu mezi nesourodými hrdiny povídky. Křehké pouto mezi lidmi, důvěrnost, která se někdy přiblíží k lásce, ale může se snadno rozplynout, je ostatně společným tématem všech povídek tohoto souboru, byť se odehrávají na rozličných místech a mezi rozličnými aktéry. Hilary Mantelová se narodila roku 1952 v Derbyshiru. Studovala na univerzitě v Sheffi eldu, prošla řadou zaměstnání, krom Anglie žila v Africe a v Saúdské Arábii, a exotické prostředí se pak objevilo v jejích knihách. První román začala psát už v roce 1974; pracovala na něm pět let a pak ho odložila; vyšel až roku 1991 (A Place of Greater Safety).

Dlouho postrádaná monografie o největším a současně jakoby nejkontroverznějším českém divadelním režisérovi Karlu Hugo Hilarovi (1885-1935) vychází z nejžhavější problematiky jeho šéfování ve Vinohradském divadle a v činohře Národního divadla: Byl diktátor? Nebo své herce opravdu inspiroval a vybudoval nejlepší činoherní soubor, který tvořil základ činohry Národního divadla ještě v 60. letech minulého století? Příběh jeho života a díla, tvořících výjimečnou jednotu, dovoluje nahlédnout tam, kde se tvoří předpoklady pro to, co pak obecenstvo vidí na jevišti: do složitých vztahů divadelního zákulisí, divadla a kritiky a samozřejmě divadla a doby, která nebyla jednoduchá. Tak předkládaná kniha nabízí i důležitý pohled na kulturní poměry první Československé republiky, která za Hilarova života vznikla a skončila tři roky po jeho smrti.

From the double Man Booker prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodiesand The Mirror & the Light comes an extraordinary work of historical imagination - this is Hilary Mantel's epic novel of the French Revolution.Georges-Jacques Danton: zealous, energetic and debt-ridden. Maximilien Robespierre: small, diligent and terrified of violence. And Camille Desmoulins: a genius of rhetoric, charming and handsome, yet also erratic and untrustworthy. As these young men, key figures of the French Revolution, taste the addictive delights of power, the darker side of the period's political ideals is unleashed - and all must face the horror that follows.

V románu Zrcadlo a světlo se završuje trilogie pojednávající o osudech Thomase Cromwella, chudého kovářského syna, který se vlastními schopnostmi vypracoval na pravou ruku anglického krále Jindřicha VIII. První dva svazky - Wolf Hall a Předveďte mrtvé - líčí Cromwellův vzestup a okolnosti, za kterých se postupně stal Jindřichovým nepostradatelným rádcem. Zrcadlo a světlo navazuje přesně v okamžiku, kde druhý díl končil: kat si čistí krvavý meč, dvorní dámy ukládají do rakve bezhlavé tělo Anny Boleynové. A Thomas Cromwell vyráží na závěrečný úsek své pouti, přes vrchol politické moci a pád z výsluní královy obliby až k popravčímu špalku. Kritika označuje cromwellovskou trilogii Hilary Mantelové za největší anglicky psaný historický román, který zatím v tomto století vznikl. Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky
