Bookseller Gertie Bingham is facing difficult times, having just lost her beloved husband, Harry, and with a lingering sadness at never having been able to have a child of her own. Struggling to face running the bookshop she and Harry opened together, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move away when she is asked if she would be willing to take in a young Jewish refugee from Germany.

But when the German bombers come and the lights go out over London, Gertie and Hedy realise that joining forces will make them stronger, and that books have the power to bring young and old together and unite a community in need in its darkest hour...

Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime.

But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem?

It''s certainly not just about the shopping; these thoroughfares are often the beating heart of our towns and cities and, by extension, of the people who use them.

The Use of Photography recounts a passionate love affair between Annie Ernaux and the journalist and author Marc Marie, after the two met in January 2003. Ernaux had been receiving intensive chemo for breast cancer during the prior three months, and had lost all her hair from the treatments. At the end of January she had surgery, followed by radiation therapy. The affair took place in different locations and Ernaux describes how, shortly after it began, she found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place and the remains of their last meal of the evening still on the table – and how painful it felt to put things back in order afterwards. She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire. Translated by Alison L. Strayer into English for the first time, The Use of Photography is an extraordinary meditation on eroticism, photography and writing, a major work by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

Znáte někoho, kdo jako by si liboval v krizi? Někoho, kdo si vytváří vypjaté situace i tam, kde nejsou? Často takové lidi označujeme jako „hysterky“ či „chaotiky“, přitom ale trpí i oni sami, protože se nacházejí v setrvalém stavu stresu a vnitřní nejistoty. Jedná se o jedince, kteří prostřednictvím dramat řeší pocit, že nejsou dost „živí“, že mezi nimi a ostatními je nějaká bariéra, že něco v jejich životě je špatně. Podobně jako u jiných typů závislostí se zvyšuje jejich tolerance vůči tomu, co prožívají, takže potřebují stále kritičtější situace a své blízké vtahují do stále větších dramat. Lékem na závislost na dramatech je podle autora pocit, že daný jedinec někam náleží, že má skutečné vztahy s druhými lidmi. Lyons zároveň ukazuje, že podobný mechanismus se vyskytuje v celkovém nastavení společnosti. Kniha vám pomůže odhalit, jak objevit závislost na dramatech u jiných lidí i sami u sebe, a nabídne vám různé metody, jak tento stav léčit pomocí meditace, vizualizace, práce s myšlenkami, dýchání či psaní deníku. Knihu využijí i terapeuti, kteří mají klienty s některými poruchami osobnosti. Scott Lyons je americký klinický psycholog a psychosomatik.

Would our lives, relationships and careers be better if we just STFU for a while? We live in a world that doesn’t just encourage overtalking, but practically demands it. When success is measured by how much attention we can attract, how long we can hold on to the mic, it’s no wonder that we feel compelled to spout endlessly on Twitter, to document every detail of our lives on Instagram, start that podcast, or lead that conference. And yet, oddly enough, the most powerful and accomplished people in the world aren’t part of that chorus―they’re reserved, they listen, and when they do speak they’re considered. Tim Cook, President Obama, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg all have seemed to understand the secret golden rule: talk less, get more. There are entire industries designed to help us amplify our voices, experts who are just dying to coach us on how to talk better, but nobody is teaching us how to STFU for a while. Former Forbes journalist Dan Lyons takes us on a sharp, funny, fascinating deep dive through our incessant noise-making – talking to communications experts, neuroscientists, psychiatrists and Silicon Valley executive coaches the world over to understand the science and culture behind why we can’t stop talking, and how ultimately we can learn to speak less – and with more intention – to improve our lives.

Considered by many to be the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate’s defining work, The Years is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present, cultural habits, language, photos, books, songs, radio, television, advertising and news headlines. Annie Ernaux invents a form that is subjective and impersonal, private and collective, and a new genre – the collective autobiography – in order to capture the passing of time. At the confluence of autofiction and sociology, The Years is ‘a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination and consumerism’ (New York Times), a monumental account of twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of one woman.

Audiokniha: Břitký průvodce odvrácenou stranou Silicon Valley.... Dan Lyons měl šťastnou a spokojenou rodinu, skvělou kariéru a práci, která ho bavila. Všechno změnil jeden telefonát jeho šéfové z Newsweeku. Padesátník, který sice má vynikající přehled v technologické sféře a o problematice umí psát, se po pětadvaceti letech novinařiny najednou ocitl bez práce. V roce 2012 byla média kvůli odlivu peněz z inzerce v dlouhodobé krizi a Lyonsovi nezbýlo než se poohlédnout jinde. Třeba v nějakém perspektivním startupu, mladé dravé technologické firmě. To ale ještě vůbec netušil, do čeho se vrhá. Výsledkem je nesmírně zábavné líčení tragikomické srážky pragmatického profesionála s firemní kulturou startupů „připomínajících Montessori školky“ a zároveň poutavý průvodce temnými stránkami internetového vizionářství, v němž jde často spíše o peníze než o revoluční nápady. „Lyons zábavně (třicet let psaní je třicet let psaní) a s krutou upřímností popisuje odvrácenou stranu odvětví, které má cool punc.“ – Michal Kašpárek, Finmag „Kniha Na odpis je podle mě vynikající sonda do prostředí amerických IT firem, která se sice určitě nevyznačuje 100% objektivitou, zato je vtipná, napínavá, vyhýbá se adorujícím klišé a nutí k zamyšlení. A je zvláštní, že spousta věcí, které platí pro bostonský Hubspot, platí i pro některé firmy z české kotliny.“ – Pavel Šenkapoun, nejlepsicopywriter.cz „Dan Lyons se noří do hlubin společnosti, která používá výrazy jako „myšlenkoví vůdci marketingu světové úrovně“, aby ukázal, jak směšné, zbytečné a dětinské mohou podobné startupové firmy být. A hlavně, Lyons tak činí pro něj typickým posměšným, rozverným tónem.“ – The New York Times „Budete se smát nahlas.“ – Newsweek Audiokniha (P) & © OneHotBook, 2018. Všechna práva vyhrazena.

eBook: Znáte někoho, kdo jako by si liboval v krizi? Někoho, kdo si vytváří vypjaté situace i tam, kde nejsou? Často takové lidi označujeme jako „hysterky“ či „chaotiky“, přitom ale trpí i oni sami, protože se nacházejí v setrvalém stavu stresu a vnitřní nejistoty. Jedná se o jedince, kteří prostřednictvím dramat řeší pocit, že nejsou dost „živí“, že mezi nimi a ostatními je nějaká bariéra, že něco v jejich životě je špatně. Podobně jako u jiných typů závislostí se zvyšuje jejich tolerance vůči tomu, co prožívají, takže potřebují stále kritičtější situace a své blízké vtahují do stále větších dramat. Lékem na závislost na dramatech je podle autora pocit, že daný jedinec někam náleží, že má skutečné vztahy s druhými lidmi. Lyons zároveň ukazuje, že podobný mechanismus se vyskytuje v celkovém nastavení společnosti.Kniha vám pomůže odhalit, jak objevit závislost na dramatech u jiných lidí i sami u sebe, a nabídne vám různé metody, jak tento stav léčit pomocí meditace, vizualizace, práce s myšlenkami, dýchání či psaní deníku. Knihu využijí i terapeuti, kteří mají klienty s některými poruchami osobnosti.Scott Lyons je americký klinický psycholog a psychosomatik.
