ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY'This House of Grief, in its restraint and control, bears comparison with In Cold Blood' KATE ATKINSON 'It grabbed me by the throat in the same way that the podcast series Serial did' GILLIAN ANDERSON'Utterly gripping' MARK HADDONFather's Day, 2005. Just after nightfall, a discarded husband drove his three young sons back to their mother, his ex-wife. On that dark country road, barely five minutes from the children's home, the old white car swerved off the highway and plunged into a dam.The father freed himself and swam to the bank, but the car sank to the bottom, and all the children drowned. The court case that followed became Helen Garner's obsession, one that would take over her life until its final verdict. The resulting book is a true-crime classic and literary masterpiece, which examines just what we are capable of and how fiercely we hide it from ourselves.A W&N Essential with an introduction by Rachel Cooke

My siblings and I have grown up in a cursed house, children of cursed parents . . . Jocasta is just fifteen when she is told that she must marry the King of Thebes, an old man she has never met. Her life has never been her own, and nor will it be, unless she outlives her strange, absent husband. Ismene is the same age when she is attacked in the palace she calls home. Since the day of her parents' tragic deaths a decade earlier, she has always longed to feel safe with the family she still has. But with a single act of violence, all that is about to change.

A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome.In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians.Charles Freeman''s accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual ''interludes'' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author''s The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.

Nový sámský hlas severské literatury Je zima na sever od polárního kruhu a pár hodin bledého světla je vše, co slunce nabízí, než se krajina opět zahalí do tmy. Tohle je Sápmi, země Sámů, původních obyvatel Skandinávie. Devítiletá Elsa je dcerou sámských pastevců. Když se jednoho večera vypraví sama na lyžích k ohradě, aby nakrmila sobí stádo, stane se svědkem toho, jak muž ze sousední vesnice bezcitně popraví její milované tele Nástegallu. Muž jí pohrozí, aby mlčela. Deset let v sobě Elsa nosí tajemství jako temnou tíhu na srdci a mezitím se nenávist a hrozby vůči Sámům stupňují a policie přechází brutální zabíjení zvířat bez povšimnutí. Elsa proto kontaktuje novináře, a tím proti sobě poštve pytláky. Strach, hněv a vina, které v sobě Elsa od dětství potlačovala, se spustí jako lavina ve chvíli, kdy stane tváří v tvář Robertu Isakssonovi, muži, který jí kdysi zabil soba. Jak se Elsa zachová? Nechá se ovládnout emocemi a zmáčkne spoušť? Příběh vyprávěný ve třech oddílech je svědectvím boje mladé ženy za práva jejího lidu a sámské kulturní dědictví ve světě, kde roste xenofobie, lhostejnost úřadů i počet sebevražd. Je to ale zároveň melancholická milostná píseň o krásách severské přírody, která trpí zásahy člověka i změnami klimatu. A v neposlední řadě jde o napínavý, psychologicky vygradovaný příběh s velkým finále. Spisovatelka a novinářka Ann-Helén Laestadius pochází ze švédské Kiruny a má sámské a tornedalské kořeny. Dosud vydala několik knih pro děti a mládež a za jednu z nich obdržela prestižní literární ocenění Augustovu cenu.

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR''As brilliant a history of the Vikings as one could possibly hope to read'' Tom HollandThe ''Viking Age'' is traditionally held to begin in June 793 when Scandinavian raiders attacked the monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, and to end in September 1066, when King Harald Hardrada of Norway died leading the charge against the English line at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. This book, the most wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of the current state of our knowledge, takes a refreshingly different view. It shows that the Viking expansion began generations before the Lindisfarne raid, and traces Scandinavian history back centuries further to see how these people came to be who they were.The narrative ranges across the whole of the Viking diaspora, from Vinland on the eastern American seaboard to Constantinople and Uzbekistan, with contacts as far away as China. Based on the latest archaeology, it explores the complex origins of the Viking phenomenon and traces the seismic shifts in Scandinavian society that resulted from an economy geared to maritime war. Some of its most striking discoveries include the central role of slavery in Viking life and trade, and the previously unsuspected pirate communities and family migrations that were part of the Viking ''armies'' - not least in England.Especially, Neil Price takes us inside the Norse mind and spirit-world, and across their borders of identity and gender, to reveal startlingly different Vikings to the barbarian marauders of stereotype. He cuts through centuries of received wisdom to try to see the Vikings as they saw themselves - descendants of the first human couple, the Children of Ash and Elm. Healso reminds us of the simultaneous familiarity and strangeness of the past, of how much we cannot know, alongside the discoveries that change the landscape of our understanding. This is an eye-opening and surprisingly moving book.

But an eclectic community of islanders take them to their hearts, friendships are forged and Salina becomes home. Full of humanity, vitality, honesty and optimism, Children of the Volcano is for anyone unwilling to give up dreams of adventure and excitement simply because of parenthood, lack of money and not getting things right the first time.

Across the planet, the futures of young people hang in the balance as they face the harsh realities of the environmental crisis. Isn't it time we made their voices heard?The Children of the Anthropocene, by conservationist and activist Bella Lack, chronicles the lives of the diverse young people on the frontlines of the environmental crisis around the world, amplifying the voices of those living at the heart of the crisis.Advocating for the protection of both people and the planet, Bella restores the beating heart to global environmental issues, from air pollution to deforestation and overconsumption, by telling the stories of those most directly affected. Transporting us from the humming bounty of Ecuador's Choco Rainforest and the graceful arcs of the Himalayan Mountains, to the windswept plains and vibrant vistas of life in Altiplano, Bella speaks to young activists from around the world including Dara McAnulty, Afroz Shah and Artemisa Xakriabá, and brings the crisis vividly to life.It's time we passed the mic and listened to different perspectives. Bella's manifestos for change will inspire and mobilize you to rediscover the wonders and wilds of nature and, ultimately, change the way you think about our planet in crisis. This is your chance to hear the urgent stories of an endangered species too often overlooked: the children of the Anthropocene. ____________________________'Extraordinarily moving, wild and engaging - the book of the moment' Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland and author of Climate Justice'A visionary statement for the future [...] Pragmatic, positive & beautifully written' Ben Macdonald, Award-Winning Conservation Writer, Wildlife TV Producer and Naturalist

In 1938, twenty-nine-year-old Nicholas Winton saved the lives of almost 700 children trapped in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia-a story he never told and that remained unknown until an unforgettable TV appearance in the 1980s reunited him with some of the children he saved. Czech-American artist, MacArthur Fellow and Andersen Award winner Peter Sis dramatises Winton's story in this distinctive and deeply personal picture book. He intertwines Nicky's efforts with the story of one of the children he saved-a young girl named Vera, whose family enlisted Nicky's aid when the Germans occupied their country. As the war passes and Vera grows up, she must find balance in her dual identities-one her birthright, the other her choice. Nicky & Vera is a masterful tribute to a humble man's courageous efforts to protect Europe's most vulnerable, and a timely portrayal of the hopes and fears of those forced to leave their homes and create new lives.

Přední a oceňovaný český violoncellista Jiří Bárta přináší na svém novém albu komplet Bachových cellových suit. Jiří Bárta se vrací k k repertoáru, který nahrál již před 23 lety, obohacen o mnoho životních i interpretačních zkušeností, a to ve zcela novém pojetí - pro nahrávku tentokrát použil barokní violoncello se střevovými strunami, čímž celkové vyznění skladby přiblížil její pravděpodobné originální podobě - namísto expresivity přichází spíše meditace a zklidnění. Bárta ke kompletu přistupuje jako k šestivěté symfonii ("Vzpomínám na chvíli, kdy jsem před lety hrál komplet poprvé. Bylo to jako zjevení: jednotlivé suity se mi zpodobnily v dokonalém tvaru jako symfonie o šesti větách, jako příběh života o šesti kapitolách; naprosto logická a prokomponovaná skladba.") a nácviku nového provedení a přípravě studiové nahrávky věnoval mnoho času a interpretační i zvukové péče. Nahrávka aspiruje na vážno-hudební událost sezóny. Tracklist: CD 1 Johann Sebastian Bach – Suita pro violoncello č. 1 G dur BWV 1007 1. Suita pro violoncello č. 1 G dur : I. Prélude 03:31 2.
