Helen Jukes Srdce včely má päť komôr, slovensky Provedení: Tištěná kniha

A na krátky okamih, obklopená cezmínou, ktorá mi prepichuje nohavice, zabudnem, kde som. Zabudnem na dom, ktorý zatiaľ nepovažujem za domov, a na hektickú prácu. Vtedy príde tá myšlienka. Tu by mohli byť včely, napadne mi a moja myseľ sa vzápätí rozbehne ako stádo divokých koní. Prekvapene odstúpim. Helen Jukes sa na prahu tridsiatky cíti uväznená v mestskom kolotoči kancelárskych intríg a dočasných adries. Snaží sa vybudovať zázemie v podobe novej práce v Oxforde, ale uvedomí si, že ak túži viesť zmysluplný život naplnený láskou a prácou, musí sa zmeniť. Práve vtedy jej priatelia venujú včelstvo (podľa starých legiend darované včely prinášajú šťastie) a z Helen sa postupne stáva včelárka. Čo však znamená starať sa o týchto divokých tvorčekov a prežiť s nimi jeden celý rok? Ako môžu nové poznatky o včelách prispieť k objavovaniu seba samej? A prinesie jej cesta do útrob úľa uvoľnenie? Táto kniha je rovnako prekvapujúca, krásna a neobyčajná ako život včiel v úli. - Helen MacDonald, autorka knihy J jako jestřáb Zatiaľ čo Helen hľadá svoje miesto v úžasnom ekosystéme úľa, samotný chov jej prináša nový pohľad na život. Prehlbuje jej staré i nové vzťahy a do sveta okolo nej vnáša svetlo. Helenino rozprávanie je fascinujúcou výpravou po stopách včiel, premenách ich príbytku i exkurzom do histórie nášho skúmania včelstva. Kniha predstavuje úchvatné zamyslenie nad zodpovednosťou a starostlivosťou, zraniteľnosťou a dôverou, vytváraním nových pút a nad vstupom na doteraz nepreskúmané územia. Autorka Helen Jukes je britská spisovateľka a včelárka. Na univerzite v Oxforde prednáša tvorivé písanie. Jej práce sa objavili v Caught by the River, BBC Wildlife, Resurgence, Junket a LITRO.

Audiokniha: Na prahu třicítky se Helen Jukes cítí uvězněná v městském kolotoči kancelářského pletichaření a dočasných adres. Snaží se usadit ve své nové práci v Oxfordu a tu jí dojde, že aby prožila smysluplný život naplněná láskou a prací, musí se sama změnit. Tehdy jí kamarádi darují včelstvo (podle starých mýtů darované včelstvo přináší štěstí) a Helen začíná svůj první včelařský rok. Co ale obnáší chovat tyto divoké tvorečky? Jak mohou nové vědomosti o včelách přispět k objevování sebe sama? A přinese jí cesta do útrob úlu uvolnění? Je to knížka stejně překvapivá, krásná a vzbuzující údiv jako je život včel a úlu. - Helen MacDonald, autorka knihy J jako jestřáb Zatímco Helen hledá svou roli v úžasném ekosystému úlu, samotná akt chovu jí přináší nový pohled na život, prohlubuje její přátelství (stará i nová) a oživuje její svět. Její vyprávění je fascinující cestou ve stopách včel a jejich úlu i dějinami našeho pozorování včel.

Helen Rolfe Rok, který nás změnil Provedení: Tištěná kniha

Některá přátelství vás formují navždy. A některé návraty bolí, i když po nich celou dobu toužíte. Emma zůstala – Lise odešla. Teď je zpátky. V ulici, kde spolu vyrůstaly. V kavárně, kde všechno začalo. A najednou je tu znovu všechno, co si myslely, že už nechaly za sebou. Z anglického městečka až po pařížské uličky – tohle je příběh o přátelství, které přežije víc než roky mlčení. O tajemstvích, která chtějí ven. A o tom, jak těžké je někdy odpustit… i sobě. Pokud hledáte román, u kterého se vám stáhne hrdlo, roztaje srdce a budete si přát, aby ještě neskončil – právě jste ho našli. Pro koho je kniha určena Pro čtenářky, které milují příběhy o vztazích, přátelství, druhých šancích a laskavých návratech. Pro fanoušky Jojo Moyes, Jenny Colgan nebo Lucy Dillon. Pro všechny, kdo věří, že opravdové přátelství nikdy úplně nezmizí. Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Protože vás pohladí po duši, přiměje vzpomínat na vlastní dávná přátelství – a možná i jedno obnovit. Protože je čtivá, dojemná a zároveň plná lehkosti, která vás bude provázet i po poslední stránce. Co ti kniha přinese Přinese vám pocit domova a sounáležitosti.

Není o velkých gestech, ale o každodenních malých chvílích, které tvoří život – i přátelství. Tichý, hluboký a hřejivý román, který doporučujeme každému, kdo hledá příběh s opravdovým srdcem.“ - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi Úryvek z knihy „Zaváhala ve dveřích, jako by se bála vstoupit. Emma ji okamžitě poznala. Ne hlasem nebo tváří, ale způsobem, jak držela ramena, jak nervózně přešlápla z nohy na nohu – jako dřív, když se chystaly vloupat do staré kůlny za domem paní Bakerové. Čas mohl změnit vzhled, ale ne paměť těla.“ O autorce Helen Rolfe Helen Rolfe je britská autorka mnoha úspěšných románů ze současného života, které se odehrávají v malebných lokalitách Velké Británie i Spojených států – od Cotswoldsu po New York.

Letter from New York - Helene Hanff

Manderley Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand-new edition of Helene Hanff s Letter from New York - another literary jewel from the author of 84, Charing Cross Road. To showcase this wonderful book, we commissioned the New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz (The Plot) to pen a new introduction - she is a cousin of Helene Hanff s, and was inspired to become a writer after meeting her as a teenager. The front cover was specially designed by New Yorker illustrator Bruce Eric Kaplan, also a fan of the author and a resident of New York City too. Over several years, Helene Hanff read aloud these stories of her life in New York for BBC Radio 4 s Woman s Hour. This book is a collection of selected scripts from this series, composed with a British audience in mind, in which the author offers us a glimpse into her own everyday tales of the city. Written in her trademark whimsical and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us right to the heart of Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and pets with gentle humour, and introducing the reader to the ups and downs of life in a high-rise apartment building in New York City ( the last small town in America ). We are introduced to Bentley, the Old English Sheepdog belonging to a neighbour who captured the author s heart; we take a stroll through the beautiful Shakespeare s Garden in Central Park; and we join the author to enjoy annual city parades down Fifth Avenue - especially the St Patrick s Day parade, when the whole of New York turned green. And we meet Helene s friends: Arlene, whose glamorous social life - and wardrobe - puts Hanff s tiny apartment and simple writer s life into perspective, and Nina, whose garden on the sixteenth-floor overflows with flowers and fruit trees. Finally, we accompany the author as she travels to London to celebrate the opening night of the dramatisation of her best-selling book 84, Charing Cross Road. What started out as a six-month trial in 1978 eventually turned into a six-year project, during which time Helene Hanff captivated radio audiences with her monthly broadcasts - each one a love letter to her beloved NYC. Long before the cast of Friends - and Sarah Jessica Parker s iconic evocation of life in the city - recreated a New York existence for us to experience vicariously, these 5-minute vignettes were the perfect way for native New Yorkers and international readers alike, to revel in the quotidian as well as the glamour of city life, and to discover the unexpected hidden gems - and treasured traditions - of New York City. Letter from New York is still a delight to read, 40 years after it was first written - a timeless and beguiling tale of everyday life in this great city, by one of the best-loved authors of the 20th-century.

Všímavý terapeut - Daniel J. Siegel

Z nejnovějších vědeckých výzkumů vyplývá, že nejdůležitějšími faktory, jež mohou přispět ke klientovu uzdravení, jsou terapeutova přítomnost a styl, jakým komunikuje s klientem. Obětavost, účast a soucit terapeuta, který zůstává všímavý ke svému já – a ke vztahu mezi tímto já a klientem – mohou mít na průběh terapie skutečně zásadní vliv.Kniha Všímavý terapeut podrobně objasňuje pojem „všímavost“ a ukazuje, jak lze tuto vlastnost pěstovat v terapeutických vztazích (a nejen v nich). Kniha je psána osobitým stylem – autor se v ní obrací přímo ke čtenáři jako kolegovi v neformální, a přesto do hloubky vedené diskusi o mysli, mozku a mezilidských vztazích.Své tvrzení, že příznivý výsledek psychoterapie závisí na přítomném bytí terapeuta jako lidské bytosti, dokládá Siegel vědeckými důkazy a nabízí prožitkové techniky sloužící ke kultivaci tzv. všímavé přítomnosti. Cvičení popsaná v této knize rozvíjejí „vnitřní zrak“ – schopnost vnímat a ovlivňovat tok energie a informací v sobě i mezi námi. A vnitřní nazírání podporuje integraci, všímavou přítomnost a vztahovou empatii – klíčové aspekty každé úspěšné terapie.Všímavý terapeut pomůže začínajícím i zkušeným klinickým pracovníkům lépe porozumět mechanismům interakce mezi myslí a mozkem a ukáže jim, jak chaos a rigiditu proměnit v integraci a harmonii.

love lay down beside me and we wept - Helen Murray Taylor

love lay down beside me and we wept is Helen Murray Taylor’s lyrical memoir of devastating mental illness. Helen Murray Taylor was finding her feet as a young doctor and trying to maintain some semblance of a life in the shadow of a punishing schedule when she witnessed a horrific road traffic accident. The impact of this fatal collision caught Helen off guard and had terrible repercussions. Both her career and her mental health took a battering. After a succession of other distressing events left Helen emotionally shattered and seriously depressed, she was admitted to a psychiatric ward and sectioned under the Mental Health Act. At her lowest, she almost succeeded in taking her own life. love lay down beside me and we wept sprang from these difficult times, from Helen’s months on the ward and the psychological upheaval of being restrained against her will, and from the challenge of being a doctor turned patient, but also from the moments of pure comedy and unexpected comradeship that she encountered there. This is a profoundly moving and masterful account of one woman s physical and psychological breakdown, it s a tribute to the love that supported her through it, and it s an offering to the reader who might find comfort or understanding in this story.

Dívka jménem Boy - Helen Oyeyemi

Pátý román Helen Oyeyemi je dosavadním vrcholem autorčiny tvorby. Obsahuje vše, co se stalo pro autorku charakteristické a co jí vyneslo zařazení na prestižní seznam nejlepších mladých prozaiků, který zveřejňuje vlivný britský časopis Granta. Práce s pohádkami, mýty, kulturními aluzemi, neustálé prostupování skutečnosti a fikce i náhlé zvraty, to vše najdeme v příběhu dívky jménem Boy. Ta vyrůstá bez matky v rodině krysaře, který na rozdíl od mytického krysaře z německé legendy lidi nepřitahuje, ale odpuzuje. I Boy od něj prchá a protlouká se Amerikou padesátých let, až nakonec skončí v náručí vdovce, jenž je otcem dívky jménem Snow. Oyeyemi na tomto trojúhelníkovém půdorysu rozehrává pro ni typickou hru, kdy nic není tím, čím se zdá být a kdy čtenáře čeká na každém rohu překvapení. Dívka jménem Boy je kniha čtivá, vtipná a bohatá nejen na četné aluze. Helen Oyeyemi Helen Oyeyemi patří navzdory svému mládí mezi nejuznávanější současné britské prozaičky. Je autorkou pěti románů, z nichž první napsala ještě na střední škole a během studií politologie v Cambridge slavila úspěch se dvěma hrami, které posléze vyšly knižně. Již od prvního románu The Icarus Girl její tvorbu charakterizuje zájem o legendy, mýty a fantastickou imaginaci. Druhý román The Opposite House (Protější dům, 2007) je silně inspirován kubánskou mytologií, následující dílo White is for Witching (Bílá je barva čarodějnic, 2009) skládá hold Edgaru Allanu Poeovi (za tento román získala autorka Cenu Somerseta Maughama). V roce 2011 vydala román Mr Fox (Pan Fox) a o tři roky později svou kriticky patrně nejúspěšnější knihu Dívka jménem Boy. Helen Oyeyemi žije v Praze.

Perník - Helen Oyeyemi

Příběh anglické učitelky Harriet Leeové a její šestnáctileté dcery Perdity se zprvu zdá být zcela všední. Čtenář se však brzy ocitne uprostřed surreálného víru vyprávění, jež jej ze současného Londýna unese do (možná imaginární) země Harrietina dětství, kde její rodina peče neobyčejný perník. Nejraději ze všech jej má Harrietina přítelkyně Gretel, mysteriózní figura, jež Harriet zasahuje do života zcela nepředvídatelným způsobem a kvůli níž začne o dlouhá léta později Harrietina dcera pátrat po tajemství svého původu - a onen surreálný vír se roztočí ještě víc… Román Perník výmluvně dokládá, proč se Helen Oyeyemi řadí k nejuznávanějším britským spisovatelům současnosti: její fantaskní vyprávění se snovým nádechem čerpá inspiraci z pohádkových příběhů, staví na archetypech, odkazuje na klasickou literaturu i pop-kulturu, a to vše činí nesmírně vytříbeným jazykem a mimořádným stylem. Perník je přenádherný a omamně originální román (…) Helen Oyeyemi jím prokazuje, že je jedním z nejlepších anglofonních autorů dneška. - National Public Radio Číst věty Helen Oyeyemi je jako chytit za ocas ohromné a nezkrotné živoucí stvoření, aniž by čtenář byť jen tušil, jaké že stvoření to vlastně je. Všechno v jejím psaní je tak živé, nepředvídatelné, místy vrtošivé, místy zlověstné, velmi často bizarní, a vždy zcela kouzelné (…) Hluboce inteligentní román postavený na nespoutané imaginaci. - New York Times Píše dnes vůbec někdo srovnatelně jako Oyeyemi? (…) Není nadsazené konstatovat, že Helen Oyeyemi je génius. - Los Angeles Times Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

Blue Machine - Helen Czerski

WINNER OF THE 2024 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION FINANCIAL TIMES 2023 HIGHLIGHT Helen Czerski weaves together physics and biology, history and science, in a beautifully poetic way. Professor Alice Roberts In Helen Czerski s hands, the mechanical becomes magical. An instant classic. Tristan Gooley, author of How to Read Water Blue Machine is quite simply one of the best books I have ever read. Dr George McGavin, zoologist, entomologist and broadcaster A fascinating dive into the essential engine that drives our world. Czerski brings the oceans alive with compelling stories that masterfully navigate this most complex system. Gaia Vince, science journalist, broadcaster and author of Nomad Century All of the Earth s ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine.Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history culture.In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean s complex, interlinked system.Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth s defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.

From the bestselling author Helen Carr, a thrilling new history of the fourteenth century â “ a time of catastrophe and conflict that shaped England for centuries to come. ***THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER AND TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2025 PICK*** A sparkling popular history which brings the Middle Ages most terrible century to life for a new generation Dan Jones Tells the story of the 14th-century Plantagenets with verve The Times A highly engaging re-evaluation of a tumultuous century ObserverThe death of Edward I in 1307 marked the beginning of a period of intense turmoil and change in England. The fourteenth century ushered in the beginning of the bloody Hundred Yearsâ ™ War with France, an epic conflict with Scotland that would last into the sixteenth century, famine in Northern Europe and the largest human catastrophe in known history, the Black Death. Through the epic drama of regicide, war, the prolonged spectre of bubonic plague, religious antagonism, revolt and the end of a royal dynasty, this book tells the story of the fourteenth century via the lives of Edward II, Edward III and Richard II â “ three very different monarchs, each with their own egos and ambitions, each with their own ideas about England and what it meant to wield power. Alongside the lives of the last Plantagenets, it also uncovers lesser-known voices and untold stories to give a new portrait of a fractured monarchy, the birth of the struggle between Europeanism and nationalism, social rebellion and a global pandemic. Sceptred Isle is a thrilling narrative account of a century of revolution, shifting power and great change â “ social, political and cultural â “ shedding new light on a pivotal period of English history and the people who lived it.

How to End a Story - Helen Garner

I revere Helen Garner s writing, and it s in her diaries that she s at her acute, rigorous, pitch-perfect best Nigella Lawson I come back again and again to Garner s diaries and always find something new to admire. Her wit and observations are brilliant and her thoughts on writing are a guide Daisy Johnson I love Helen Garner s diaries. I would read her grocery lists Fatima Bhutto The diaries are the apotheosis of Helen Garner s entire career, and the most exciting thing she has ever published . . . Beautiful, riveting, formally electrifying Lit HubLooking out the window at the two big gum trees, as it gets dark, I think: the only way I can go on keeping a diary - the bits about myself, anyway, i.e. most of it - is to conceive of it as a record of soul. Helen Garner has kept a diary for most of her adult life. Now she is widely recognised as one of the greatest writers of our age. But, of all her books, it is her diaries that she likes best.Collected for the first time into one volume, these inimitable diaries show Garner like never before: as a fledging author in bohemian Melbourne, publishing her lightning-rod debut novel while raising a young daughter in the 1970s; in the throes of an all-consuming love affair in the 1980s; and clinging to a disintegrating marriage in the 1990s.How to End a Story reveals the inner life of a woman in love, a mother, a friend and a formidable writer at work. Told with devastating honesty, steel-sharp wit and an ecstatic attention to the details of everyday life, it offers all the satisfactions of a novel alongside the enthralling intimacy of something written in private and just for pleasure.

Helen Roseveare - Helen Roseveare

All three volumes of Helen Roseveare’s autobiography combined for the first time, with a foreword by John Noël Piper, and an introduction and afterword by Betsy Childs Howard. Throughout her eight years in training for the mission field and her first twelve years in the Congo, Helen Roseveare had prayed that God would give her a mountain–top experience of his glory and power. God’s answers formed the basis of her best–selling autobiography, Give Me This Mountain.However, after enduring civil war, brutal mistreatment, and having to rebuild work from scratch, and later while caring for her elderly mother, she realised that God’s work is also done in the valleys.The third of her autobiographies, written after her mother passed away, emphasises her faithful, daily obedience, digging ditches as God led and trusting him to fill them with life–giving water in his time. These three books are combined in one volume for the first time giving an overarching view of the amazing ways God used Helen’s life. Includes the books Give me This Mountain, He Gave Us a Valley and Digging Ditches. 3 autobiographical volumes in 1Foreword by John Noel PiperIntroduction and afterword by Betsy Childs Howard
