On a cold, moonlit night in January 1944, Anne-Marie Walters, just 20 years old, parachuted into southwest France to work with the Resistance in preparation for the long-awaited Allied invasion. The daughter of a British father and a French mother, she was to act as a courier for George Starr, head of the WHEELWRIGHT circuit of SOE. Over the next seven months Anne-Marie criss-crossed the region, carrying messages, delivering explosives, arranging the escape of downed airmen and receiving parachute drops of arms and personnel at dead of night - living in constant fear of capture and torture by the Gestapo. Then, on the very eve of liberation, she was sent off on foot over the Pyrenees to Spain, carrying urgent despatches for London. Anne-Marie Walters wrote Moondrop to Gascony immediately after the war, while the events were still vivid in her mind. It is a tale of high adventure, comradeship and kindness, of betrayals and appalling atrocities, and of the often unremarked courage of many ordinary French men and women who risked their lives to help drive German armies from French soil. And through it all shines Anne-Marie's quiet courage, a keen sense of humour and, above all, her pure ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Románový životní příběh Američanky Anne Marie Kenny, která v divokých devadesátých letech našla v Praze svůj domov. S doporučením osobností jako Marta Kubišová, Jáchym Topol, Martin Palouš a ilustrací Petra Síse na obálce. Praha v devadesátých letech, mimořádné místo i doba. Studená válka skončila. Berlínská zeď padla. Země sovětského bloku včetně Československa právě získaly svobodu. Byla to opojná atmosféra s otevřenou budoucností. Zažívala ji i Anne Marie Kenny – zpěvačka s českými kořeny, která se tu dala na podnikání. Její životní příběh si nezadá s románem – tragická rána v dětství, zpívání na Champs Élysées v jednadvaceti, umělecká kariéra v Paříži a Nice, koncert v Redutě na pozvání Václava Havla a následná podnikatelská dráha v Praze. Čtenáři se po jejím boku setkají s pozoruhodnými lidmi – s otcem advokátem, o nějž přišla ve dvou letech, česko-americkou matkou, na níž zůstala výchova pěti dětí, s ekonomickým poradcem Françoise Mitterranda, díky němuž se jí otevřely obzory, s kardinálem, který za komunistů zpovídal při mytí výloh, se sekretářkou, jejíž dědeček skončil v jáchymovských lágrech, s fotografem, jehož rodiče se vzali v Terezíně, a v neposlední řadě i s jejím milovaným manželem, válečným hrdinou, a mnoha dalšími.

Anne Marie Allen was fifteen when she was accepted onto a cookery school course that promised real qualifications and a future in the career of her dreams. Seeking a better life, she moved to the calm and peaceful countryside of the west of Ireland. Her happiness was short-lived as it became clear she had been tricked instead into a life of domestic servitude to the members of Opus Dei.Before long she was whisked away to Rome where she signed her life away with vows to serve. What followed were years of misery in slavery, forced celibacy and traumatic physical suffering under an ambitious and tyrannical institution that demanded perfection, humiliation and pain.Her family eventually managed to coerce a visit home where they refused to let her return to the Order, and where they began the long process of deprogramming Anne Marie – a task that has been a life-long struggle. Serve is Anne Marie’s remarkable story of strength and resilience in the face of religious zealotry.

Píše se rok 1916 a dvanáctiletou Kláru se rodiče rozhodnou ukrýt před válkou na anglický venkov k příbuzným. Teta a strýc, jindy tak přátelští a otevření, se k ní najednou staví zády. Neodpovídají na otázky, nevědí, co se stalo s rodiči, nechtějí se s Klárou bavit, nechtějí, aby jim pomáhala, nechtějí, aby tu vůbec byla. Má zůstat v domě a nepřekážet. I přes to Klára brzy zjistí, že její nový domov skrývá svá vlastní tajemství: zamčený pokoj, skrytý klíč, tajemnou postavu hocha, který se objevuje jen v noci. A především zloděje exotického ovoce. Aby Klára odhalila tajemství zahrady, bude se muset postavit pravdě, kterou si nechce přiznat, a válce, na kterou se snaží zoufale zapomenout.Ann-Marie Howell je spisovatelka pro děti a mládež.

The Irish do death differently. Funeral attendance is a solemn duty - but it can also be a big day out, requiring sophisticated crowd control, creative parking solutions and a high-end sound system. Despite having the same basic end-of-life infrastructure as other Western countries, Irish culture handles death with a unique blend of dignified ritual and warm sociability.In Sorry for Your Trouble, Ann Marie Hourihane holds up a mirror to the Irish way of death: the funny bits, the sad bits, and the hard-to-explain bits that tell us so much about who we are. She follows the last weeks of a woman''s life in hospice; she witnesses an embalming; she attends inquests; she talks to people working to prevent suicide; she follows the team of specialists working to locate the remains of people ''disappeared'' by the IRA; and she visits some of Ireland''s most contested graves. She also explores the strange and sometimes surprising histories of Irish death practices, from the traditional wake and ritual lamentations to the busy commerce between anatomists and bodysnatchers. And she goes to funerals, of ordinary and extraordinary people all over the country - including that of her own father. ''I had joined a club,'' ... Unknown localization key: "more"

No Far Shore is a rich exploration of various coastlines across England, Wales, Ireland, Canada and the US, in the form of travel writing, narrative non-fiction, memoir and poetry. In it poet Anne-Marie Fyfe visits the meeting place of land and sea, and takes in the maps, waves, lighthouses, islands, north, maps, journeys, boats and fishermen which mark this changing boundary. She looks too at the work of a number of writers for whom the coast has been influential (and who in some cases have a surprising link to her hometown of Cushenden in Northern Ireland). They include Elizabeth Bishop, Herman Melville, Eavan Boland, Moira O’Neill, Robinson Jeffers, George Mackay Brown, C.P. Cavafy and Louis MacNeice. In addition, Fyfe also travels into her past, and that of her family, and charting her own relationship with a number of coasts and the way that they have shaped her life and those of others. Living next to the sea brings almost as many subjects as the waves falling on to the land, from the quiet ease of fishing to the impact of the shipwreck of the Princess Victoria, from the lyricism of nature poetry to the specialism of morse code and cartography.

A compelling historical murder mystery set amongst the artists in seventeenth-century Paris. For fans of C.J. Sansom and S.J. Parris. ''A rich and achingly beautiful novel'' - Carol McGrath (author of the Daughters of Hastings trilogy) on An Artist in Her Own Right. Paris, 1676. When a body washes up on the banks of the Bièvre river, a young woman finds herself embroiled in an intricate murder case.At first it seems mere coincidence that the dead man was discovered outside the Royal Manufactory of the Gobelins, home to a community of artists and craftsmen. He was not one of them, after all. But Anne-Marie, a sculptor''s wife, soon realises that the victim may well be known within the walls of the Gobelins - and that the killer might be amongst them.With the police apparently disinterested, it is a mystery that is hers alone to solve. Anne-Marie''s investigations will take her from the unsavoury slums of the Ile Notre-Dame to the grand ducal residences of the Place Royale.

An essential resource for anyone committed to fostering equality and fairness in employment—with actionable proposals for public policy that can address these inequities.In a world where discrimination against minorities remains a pressing issue even in economically and socially advanced countries, Invisible Barriers delves into the multifaceted nature of this pervasive problem. Drawing on extensive research from economics, management, psychology, and sociology, Stéphane Carcillo and Marie-Anne Valfort present a comprehensive examination of discriminatory practices in employment and their profound social and economic impacts.The first part of the book methodically explores the forms, sources, and consequences of discrimination in the labor market, offering readers a solid understanding of the approaches used to measure and identify discriminatory practices. In the second part, the book details research findings on specific groups, illustrating how discrimination manifests uniquely across different demographics; women, ethnic minorities, older workers, LGBTI+, and more. From recruitment biases to career advancement hurdles, the book sheds light on the varied and often hidden ways discrimination operates. Finally, the authors discuss public policies aimed at mitigating discrimination, advocating for a multifaceted approach that combines punitive measures with incentives, educational programs, and communication campaigns to effectively combat biases, prejudices, and stereotypes.

‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence.’ – Bertrand Russell, Portraits from MemoryPortraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography, it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries, such as George Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad, with whom he formed a strong emotional bond, writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’, whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better, but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’.This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects, from his ardent pacifism, liberal politics ...

Bertrand Russell’s study of the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz is one of his earliest books, providing a fascinating glimpse of his philosophical brilliance. It remains one of the most important books on this polymathic seventeenth-century thinker and the only book Russell wrote about a major philosopher.Written when Russell was only in his late twenties, it goes far beyond a mere exposition of Leibniz''s thought. Celebrated for his invention of the differential calculus and a major figure in the development of rationalist philosophy, Leibniz is hailed by many as the last universal genius. Russell argues that the tension between Leibniz''s theological writings for the Hanoverian royalty on the one hand and his philosophical work on the other obscures, in Russell''s opinion, Leibniz''s greatest gift to philosophy: the view that logic is the start of all philosophy.Exploring Leibniz''s contributions to epistemology, substance, space and time, the soul and body, and the existence of God, Russell pushes philosophy and logical thought in bold new directions. It remains a vital work in Russell''s oeuvre and a landmark study of a major philosopher.This Routledge Classics Edition has a new Foreword by Richard T. W. Arthur.

“To abandon the struggle for private happiness, to expel all eagerness of temporary desire, to burn with passion for eternal things – this is emancipation, and this is the free man''s worship.” —Bertrand RussellMysticism and Logic is one of Russell''s most celebrated collection of essays. They not only set the tone for analytical philosophy in the English-speaking world but are Russell''s first proper foray into the role of public philosopher, one he would occupy for years to come. Both scientific and romantic, Russell explores and unpacks, in his inimitable pellucid prose, some of the thorniest problems and puzzles in philosophy. These include different ways of knowing something, the foundations of mathematics, the ultimate nature of matter and whether, in Russell''s view, we should seek a philosophical theory of causation.Taken together, they show the considerable changes that occurred in Russell''s thinking during the years he was producing some of his best philosophy, leading up to World War One. Also included is Russell''s renowned essay ''A Free Man''s Worship'', where he argues that we can construct a deeper form of faith based on the power of reason for those who wish to be free.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by ...

In An Inquiry Into Meaning and Truth, Bertrand Russell returns to philosophy after a long period of writing about education, religion and marriage. Investigating how we can be justified in what we know and how we can reconcile knowledge of the physical world with immediate sensory knowledge, Russell sets out to reconcile the various aspects of his thought since his early logicist period—the view that mathematical truths are ultimately logical truths.Russell''s goal is to stress-test empiricism in light of contemporary developments in logic and language or, as Russell himself succinctly puts it, "to combine a general outlook akin to Hume''s with the methods that have grown out of modern logic". His quest combines three strands: metaphysical, epistemological and linguistic.Both a fascinating insight into Russell’s evolving views and the continuity of his thinking over the years, it also foreshadows many future debates which came to occupy centre stage within English-speaking philosophy: debates about realism and anti-realism, the viability of pragmatism as a philosophical theory and the perennial opposition between holism and atomism.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Pascal Engel, placing Russell''s book in helpful philosophical context.

Po dvaceti pěti letech vychází zcela nový překlad deníku Anne Frankové. Poprvé v češtině s názvem, který svému dílu zamýšlela dát sama jeho autorka. Deník v dopisech si Anne Franková vedla od 12. června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944. Psala si ho jen pro sebe až do chvíle, kdy na jaře 1944 vyslechla z vysílání londýnského Rádia Oranje projev nizozemského exilového ministra školství. Vyzýval, aby lidé po skončení války shromáždili a zveřejnili všechna svědectví o utrpení nizozemského lidu za německé okupace. Jako příklad uvedl mimo jiné deníky. Pod dojmem tohoto projevu se Anne Franková rozhodla, že po válce vydá knihu. Základem k ní měl být její deník. Anne si k tomu 29. března 1944 zapsala: Milá Kitty, včera večer mluvil v Rádiu Oranje ministr Bolkestein o tom, že po válce bude uspořádána sbírka deníků a dopisů z téhle války. Samozřejmě se hned všichni vrhli na můj deník. Vždyť si představ, jak zajímavé by bylo, kdybych vydala román Zadní dům. Už jenom z titulu by lidé měli dojem, že je to detektivka. Od května 1944 začala deník přepracovávat a přepisovat, zanášela do něj opravy, vynechávala pasáže, které nepovažovala za dostatečně zajímavé, a jiné po paměti připisovala. Současně pokračovala v psaní původního ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The first major biography of Henry VIII least favourite wife - but the one who outlived them all. ''I like her not!'' was the verdict of Henry VIII on meeting his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, for the first time. Anne could have said something similar on meeting Henry and, having been promised the most handsome prince in Europe, she was destined to be disappointed in the elderly and corpulent king. Henry also felt that Anne was not as she had been described, complaining that he had been sent a Flander''s mare. Forced to proceed with their wedding for diplomatic reasons, Henry and Anne tried to make the best of the situation, but attempts to consummate the match were farcical. Henry could not bring himself to touch his new bride and Anne, entirely ignorant of such matters, did not even notice that there was a problem. After only seven months of marriage Henry was so desperate to rid himself of Anne that he declared himself impotent in order to secure a divorce. Anne was also eager to end her marriage and, with her clever handling of Henry obtained one of the biggest divorce settlements in English history. Following her divorce, ...
