Jokes change from generation to generation, but the experience of the comedian transcends the ages: the drive, jealousy, heartbreak, and triumph. From the Marx Brothers to Milton Berle to George Carlin to Eddie Murphy to Louis CK—comedy historian Kliph Nesteroff brings to life a century’s worth of rebels and groundbreakers, mainstream heroes and counterculture iconoclasts, forgotten stars and workaday plodders in this essential history of American comedy. Beginning with the nationwide vaudeville circuits that dominated at turn of the twentieth century, Nesteroff describes the rise of the first true stand-up comedian—a variety show emcee who abandoned physical shtick for straight jokes. The end of Prohibition ushered in a surprising golden age of comedy, as funnymen were made into radio stars and the combination of the "Borscht Belt," the "Chitlin Circuit," and Mafia-run supperclubs furnished more jobs and money than ever before. Those were the days of the Copacabana, tuxedos, and smoking cigars onstage, when insulting the boss could result in a hit man at your door and obscenity charges could land you in jail. In the 1950s, late-night television cemented the status of the comedy establishment while young comics rebelled, arriving on the beatnik coffeehouse scene with cerebral jokes and ...

''As hilarious, charming, eccentric, informative, addictive and delightful as the show itself'' STEPHEN FRY Much-loved radio drama The Archers has been at the heart of British life for over seventy years, and the momentous events and changes of this time have all found a place in Ambridge. For more than three decades, scriptwriter Graham Harvey was the man behind the show’s farming storylines, writing over 600 episodes and crafting some of its most memorable moments: the Great Flood, the trashing of Brian’s GM crop, the loss of the Grundy family farm. In this book Graham interweaves personal memories of these moments with extracts from the scripts he created, offering behind-the-scenes details of how key characters and plotlines were developed, keeping pace with the real changes taking place in village and farm life. He also explores the part the show played in setting Britain on its disastrous transition from small-scale, sustainable farming to industrial agriculture. Could it now help guide the nation back to the nature-friendly, planet-saving methods we so desperately need? Underneath The Archers relates a personal drama, too: how Graham uncovered his father’s dark, wartime secret, the trauma which was to blight their family life. The insecurities of his ...

Graham Greene (1904-1991) byl významný britský romanopisec 20. století. Psal také povídky, eseje, divadelní hry, scénáře, literární a filmové kritiky. Nějaký čas pracoval jako novinář a po určitou dobu byl dokonce zaměstnancem ministerstva zahraničí a agentem britské tajné služby. Jeho příběhy kombinují epiku s morálními a náboženskými otázkami z neortodoxně katolické perspektivy. Témata jeho děl mají společného jmenovatele v hlubokém, věčně pochybujícím, především však v osvobozujícím básnickém pohledu na člověka z hlediska spisovatelova základního atributu lidství – svědomí.

Cancer, tumour, cancer. The words fizzle and dissolve into nothing like aspirin in water. I exist in the third person. The room is blue. When Graham Caveney was a child the word ''cancer'' was unspeakable, only uttered in jokes told by people too frightened to say the word in any other context. Now the boy with perpetual nervousness is a fifty-something man, and the oncologist in front of him is saying words evacuated of all meaning: Inoperable. Incurable. In this startling and deeply moving memoir from one of the great chroniclers of British working-class life, Graham Caveney charts a year of disease from diagnosis to past ''original sell-by-date''. Shot through with Northerness, tenderness, and Caveney''s trademark humour, The Body in the Library reflects on an unfinished lifetime filled with books and with love.

Mistrně sepsané paměti pokrývají období let 1929 až 1978. Greene se v nich věnuje především literární tvorbě a cestám, okolnostem a motivům, které vedly k napsání jeho románů, povídek a divadelních her. Obšírně se rozepisuje o cestách a zážitcích, které ho inspirovaly k jeho dílům, a nabízí postřehy, úsudky a myšlenky, a také záznamy ze svých deníků. Greene vzpomíná mimo jiné na Vietnam, Haiti, Paraguay, Malajsko, Keňu, ale i na Polsko za stalinismu v padesátých letech nebo na Prahu, kterou navštívil v době komunistického puče v únoru 1948. Odhaluje také určité detaily svého působení u britské tajné služby a vyjadřuje se k politické situaci; politika hrála v Greeneově díle stále významnější roli. Stejně jako jeho romány, i tyto vzpomínky jsou psány vytříbeným a poutavým jazykem, jakým dnes vládne jen pramálo spisovatelů.

All living things on Earth are composed of cells. A cell is the simplest unit of a self-contained living organism, and the vast majority of life on Earth consists of single-celled microbes, mostly bacteria. These consist of a simple ''prokaryotic'' cell, with no nucleus. The bodies of more complex plants and animals consist of billions of ''eukaryotic'' cells, of varying kinds, adapted to fill different roles - red blood cells, muscle cells, branched neurons. Each cell is an astonishingly complex chemical factory, the activities of which we have only begun to unravel in the past fifty years or so through modern techniques of microscopy, biochemistry, and molecular biology.In this Very Short Introduction, Terence Allen and Graham Cowling describe the nature of cells - their basic structure, their varying forms, their division, their differentiation from initially highly flexible stem cells, their signalling, and programmed death. Cells are the basic constituent of life, and understanding cells and how they work is central to all biology and medicine.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures.

Audiokniha: Děje se v Mexiku v první třetině 20. století, v době tvrdého pronásledování katolické církve. Kostely jsou zavřeny, biskupové a kněží vyhnáni nebo popraveni. Sloužení mše a udělování svátostí se stávají hrdelním zločinem. Před revoluční mocí prchá poslední kněz. Nejen geografické a historické souřadnice, ale i mnohé postavy tohoto románu mají reálný podklad. V roce 1938 odcestoval Greene do Mexika, aby zde nasbíral materiál pro knihu o pronásledování katolické církve. Za neuvěřitelných útrap procestoval několik mexických států; dva z nich, Tabasco a Chiapas, se pak stávají dějištěm románu Moc a sláva. Poslední kněz v zemi, prchající před revoluční mocí, má k obrazu mučedníka za církev hodně daleko: pije, hřeší snad proti všem přikázáním včetně šestého, bojí se smrti a bolesti. Jeho protihráč, představitel revoluční moci, je naopak silný, nepochybuje o sobě ani o své pravdě a za jejím prosazením jde doslova přes mrtvoly. Jejich "hra" na život a smrt udržuje napětí od první do poslední kapitoly.

Greenovo "srdce temnoty" z roku 1961 rozehrává věčná témata svatosti, povolání, lásky, víry a zoufalství s mistrovstvím, pro něž bývá právem nazýván Dostojevským dvacátého století. V autobiografické knize Úniky (Kalich 2006) Greene v souvislosti s Vyhaslým případem píše: "Představa víry jako poklidného moře byla navždy tatam - víra byla spíše jako bouře, ve které byli ti šťastní pohlceni a ztraceni, zatímco ti, co neměli štěstí, přežili a byli s ranami a krvácejícími šrámy vyvrženi na břeh. Lepší člověk si na okraji tohoto krutého moře mohl najít práci na celý život, ale mně můj vlastní průběh života neskýtal žádnou sebedůvěru, abych mohl nabízet nějakou pomoc. Neměl jsem žádné apoštolské poslání a volání po duchovní pomoci mě přivádělo k šílenství z vlastní neschopnosti. K čemu jinému byla církev než ku pomoci těmto trpícím?… Byl jsem jako člověk bez lékařských znalostí na vsi, kterou postihl mor. Myslím, že Querry se zrodil právě v těchto letech. Často sedával v mém křesle a měl nejednu tvář."

When Graham Bean was appointed the Football Association''s first Compliance Officer, he was instantly nicknamed "The Sleazebuster" by the tabloid press and quickly made headlines investigating football wrongdoing on and off the pitch which covered everything from dissent towards match officials by players to alleged financial corruption in the boardroom by chairmen. Yet throughout his time at the English game''s governing body there was a sense that his face didn''t quite fit; as a blunt Yorkshireman and a former police detective he didn''t shirk from asking awkward questions that put him on a collision course with the powers that be and he didn''t take kindly to the "old pals" act that pervaded the FA whose ageing council members still held an iron grip on the professional game in the late 1990s. After leaving the FA Graham started his own business "Football Factors" which represented players and managers when they were summoned to appear before an FA Disciplinary Hearing. Among his stellar list of clients were Alex Ferguson, Rafa Benitez, David Moyes, Duncan Ferguson and many more and Graham''s work with Fergie in particular led to more headlines as the FA sought to silence the dominant figure in the game.

A homage to a remarkable poet and his world.''At The Loch of Green Corrie is more than merely elegant, more than a collection of albeit fascinating insights, laugh-out-loud observations and impressively broad erudition'' - Sunday Herald''You could easily make a case that Andrew Greig has the greatest range of any living Scottish writer'' - ScotsmanFor many years Andrew Greig saw the poet Norman MacCaig as a father figure. Months before his death, MacCaig''s enigmatic final request to Greig was that he fish for him at the Loch of the Green Corrie; the location, even the real name of his destination was more mysterious still. His search took in days of outdoor living, meetings, and fishing with friends in the remote hill lochs of far North-West Scotland. It led, finally, to the waters of the Green Corrie, which would come to reflect Greig''s own life, his thoughts on poetry, geology and land ownership in the Highlands and the ambiguous roles of whisky, love and male friendship. At the Loch of the Green Corrie is a richly atmospheric narrative, a celebration of losing and recovering oneself in a unique landscape, the consideration of a particular culture, and a homage to a remarkable ...
