“Deliciously gritty, an unflinching look at American crime and modern politics." —Eli Cranor, Author, You Don't Know Tough, Ozark Dogs, and Broiler; winner, Edgar Award for Best First NovelWashington, DC’s notorious detective, former street denizen Dickie Cornish, faces off with bloodthirsty cops and the justice department in the latest thrilling release by award-winning noir author Christopher Chambers. In StreetWhys, underground detective Dickie Cornish faces a vindictive murder rap from his past if he doesn’t agree to help prove that the fentanyl ravaging the streets of DC is bankrolled by shadowy donors of a certain former president. Broke and desperate, Cornish soon finds himself on a collision course with shady public defenders and corrupt police officers, forcing him to use his street connections to flip their plan. Or die. Chambers’s Dickie Cornish series has met with widespread critical acclaim. Publishers Weekly dubbed the series debut, Scavenger, “[A] no-holds-barred crime novel...a 21st-century twist on traditional hardboiled noir.” The Strand Magazine selected Standalone, the second book in the series, as one of the “Top 25 Mystery Novels of the Year,” adding “It’s apparent that the modern heir to Chandler, Woolrich, and Cain is Christopher Chambers, enough said.” And renowned crime author George Pelecanos ...

The political participation of public school teachers in new democracies has generated heated debates. In some countries, teacher strikes shutter schools for months each year; in others, teachers'' unions have become powerful political machines and have even formed new political parties. To explain these contrasts, Mobilizing Teachers delves into changes in education politics and the labor movement. Christopher Chambers-Ju argues that union organizations fundamentally shape teacher mobilization, with far-reaching implications for politics and policy. With detailed case studies of Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico, this book is the first comparative analysis of teacher politics in Latin America. Drawing on extensive field research and multiple sources of data, it enriches theoretical perspectives in political science and sociology on the interplay between protests, electoral mobilization, and party alliances.

O knize Král ve žlutém, mysteriózním souboru hororových a dekadentních povídek z roku 1895, u nás donedávna věděli jen skuteční literární znalci; v současnosti se o toto vpravdě kultovní dílo Roberta W. Chamberse zvedla vlna díky vynikajícímu televiznímu seriálu HBO True Detective / Temný případ. První souborné české vydání Chambersovy knihy vychází tomuto zájmu vstříc, kniha však není zajímavá jen jako vzorník motivů z onoho seriálu - zlověstný "Král ve žlutém" či zapomenutá, děsivá říše zvaná Carcosa mají svou vlastní, mrazivou sílu, a Chambers si ve schopnosti evokovat "hrůzu duše" v ničem nezadá s E. A. Poem, z něhož vycházel, či s H. P. Lovecraftem, jehož zase sám výrazně ovlivnil. Deset povídek, shromážděných v této knize, je toho nejlepším důkazem. Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) byl americký spisovatel a výtvarník; na začátku 90. let 19. století vystudoval malbu v Paříži, kde se také důvěrně obeznámil s moderními uměleckými směry; určující se pro něj stal zejména symbolismus a secese. Jeho nejslavnější dílo, Král ve žlutém, je obecně považováno za klasiku hororového žánru a dočkalo se nesčetných vydání v mnoha jazycích.

“The journey to understand the painting is also the journey to understand Rothko, because the work is so thoroughly suffused with the man.”—Christopher Rothko Mark Rothko (1903–1970), world-renowned icon of Abstract Expressionism, is rediscovered in this wholly original examination of his art and life written by his son. Synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes, Christopher, the younger of the artist’s two children, offers a unique perspective on this modern master.  Christopher Rothko draws on an intimate knowledge of the artworks to present eighteen essays that look closely at the paintings and explore the ways in which they foster a profound connection between viewer and artist through form, color, and scale. The prominent commissions for the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Seagram Building murals in New York receive extended treatment, as do many of the lesser-known and underappreciated aspects of Rothko’s oeuvre, including reassessments of his late dark canvases and his formidable body of works on paper. The author also discusses the artist’s writings of the 1930s and 1940s, the significance of music to the artist, and our enduring struggles with visual abstraction in the contemporary era.

Christopher Tolkien’s masterly translation of the Icelandic Heidrek’s Saga, including the dramatic Battle of the Goths and the Huns, the lyrical Waking of Angantyr, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin.Heidrek’s Saga is a medieval entertainment – a ‘romance’, but a romance that derives little of its matter from the literature of France or Germany. It is an example of a kind of story-telling that was flourishing in Iceland by the beginning of the twelfth century, and which (in contrast to the more celebrated ‘Sagas of the Icelanders’) told of legendary figures whose origins lie far back in time beyond the settlement of the country.The elements of the story, diverse in age and atmosphere, are unified in the theme of a possession bearing an ancestral curse, as it passes down the generations; but the saga’s peculiar value lies in the older poems which the unknown author set into the framework of his narrative, including The Battle of the Goths and the Huns, perhaps the oldest of all the Northern heroic lays, The Waking of Angantyr, source of many eighteenth-century ‘Gothic Odes’, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin in disguise.Translated from the ...

Výsledkem byl rozkol, který se nese až do současnosti, mezi imperativy stylu, funkce a životaschopnosti. In The New Interior, Christopher Long examines how, in the course of just seven years immediately prior to the outbreak of World War I, three of the leading Viennese modernists-Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, and Oskar Strnad-redefined the idea of the modern interior. This book follows the progress of their debates and works, and how each designer sought to frame his own distinctive vision of living. The result was a split that carries up to the present day, between the imperatives of style, function, and livability. Christopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. His many books include Josef Frank: Life and Work (2002), The New Space: Movement and Experience in Viennese Modern Architecture (2016), Essays on Adolf ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark''s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe''s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia''s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built.

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. ''I read it and reread it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all times assails me yet''. With its strange, imaginative blend of horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W. Chambers'' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright, madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious poison. Dare you read it? This collection has been called the most important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that The King in Yellow ''achieves notable heights of cosmic fear''.

In June 1960, several British newspapers received a letter so shocking some thought it was a hoax. Beginning ''Sir, we are homosexuals . . '', it was signed by Roger Butler and two others. Publishing such a letter seven years prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. But it was a risk that marked a huge milestone in the fight for gay rights. By the 1970s, the Gay Liberation Front was calling on people to come out to help reduce stigma, and it continued to be a core tactic in the 80s and 90s. Roger, however, had done this a full decade earlier. This is the story about of first man to voluntarily come out in his own words, using his own name, to the entire British public. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of pubs, parties and campaign gatherings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about a change in the law, legalising sex between men, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after becoming completely blind in his early 30s. Worn down trying to navigate life afresh in London, he left for Oxford, where he became increasingly isolated ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn''t just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world''s most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality-including Robert''s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. Despite a storied career on the British and American stage-as both performer and playwright-and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert... until he was summoned to star in ''a little horror film'' called Jaws.
