Audiokniha: Existuje spousta vánočních příběhů, ale tohle je zaručeně ten první… Má mnoho jmen, ale vypadá pokaždé stejně – bělovlasý muž s plnovousem, který na Vánoce nosí hodným dětem dárky. Koho by napadlo, že i on kdysi dávno býval malým chlapcem? Jmenoval se Nikolas a narodil se ve Finsku v rodině chudé tak, že jeho jedinou hračkou byl panáček vyřezaný z tuřínu. O maminku brzy přišel a jeho tatínek se jednoho dne připojil ke královské výpravě hledající daleko na severu bájné elfy. Jenže se dlouho nevracel, a tak se ho Nikolas se svým myším kamarádem vydal hledat. A to byl začátek velkého napínavého dobrodružství, v němž nechybí elfové, kouzla, skřítci, létající sobi, ba ani troll a na jehož konci bude lidský svět o poznání šťastnějším a magičtějším místem k životu… Mimořádně úspěšná kniha pro děti se v roce 2021 dočkala neméně kouzelné filmové adaptace. „Andersenovská nevinnost příběhu je protkána temnotou a černým humorem ve stylu Roalda Dahla.“ – Tony Bradman, The Guardian. „Úžasná směsice pohádky a vtipu. Pro malé i velké. Prostě báječné. Tohle je vánoční kniha roku.“ – The Sun „Kniha potěší dospělé i děti. Budoucí klasika.“ − The Bookseller. „Matt Haig napsal věčný a nejnesmrtelnější vánoční příběh, jaký byl za poslední desetiletí vydán. Budoucí generace budou mít z Chlapce jménem Vánoce stejnou potěchu a radost, jakou přináší cukroví, sněhuláci a smetanové likéry...“ − Stephen Fry. „Nová sváteční klasika. Vtipná, smutná a skvělá. Ukázalo se, že jsme znali jen polovinu příběhu.“ − Simon Mayo.

The Desert Fathers were the first Christian monks, living in solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. In contrast to the formalised and official theology of the "founding fathers" of the church, the Desert Fathers were ordinary Christians who chose to renounce the world and live lives of celibacy, fasting, vigil, prayer and poverty in direct and simple response to the gospel. Their sayings were first recorded in the 4th century and consist of spiritual advice, anecdotes and parables. The Desert Fathers'' teachings and lives have inspired poetry, opera and art, as well as providing spiritual nourishment and a template for monastic life.

One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest music photographers in history meet in this incredible visual archive featuring exclusive never-before-seen photos.Jim Marshall took thousands of photos of the Grateful Dead throughout their career—from Woodstock to the last free concert on Haight Street and beyond. Marshall’s magnificent images chronicle the band’s trajectory as hairstyles changed, relationships came and went, and the music evolved into the sound that would become beloved by generations to come. Marshall’s instinctive eye matched the Dead’s improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as he immersed himself in San Francisco’s counterculture scene throughout the 1960s and ’70s. He documented casual domestic scenes and transcendent concerts alike, offering a nuanced and intimate portrait of the band. The striking images in this book—a third of which have never been published—are printed in the rich, high-contrast tones that Marshall favored. They include glimpses of remarkable moments like the Newport Pop Festival, Woodstock, and the Human Be-In. Quotes from contemporaries, collaborators, and members of the wider Dead community bring the images alive, while longer essays contextualize this photographic archive. Whether you were there from the beginning or wish you had been, this is your chance to see a glorious era of music history as you’ve never seen it before, through the eyes of a visionary artist.PHOTOGRAPHY ICON: Jim Marshall is the great rock-and-roll photographer, as his images of the Grateful Dead prove. In addition to being a legendary artist, he was a peer, colleague, and friend to the musicians and documented countless iconic musical moments throughout the 1960s and 1970s. NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN IMAGES: From electrifying photos of the band playing live onstage to more intimate portraits of rehearsals, this collection showcases an amazing array of images. One-third of the photos have never before been published, making The Grateful Dead by Jim Marshall an exclusive treat for any Deadhead or photography fan. THE ULTIMATE DEADHEAD COLLECTIBLE: Many books and documentary films have been created about the Grateful Dead, but Marshall's photographs offer an unmatched time capsule of the Dead and their era. Published to coincide with the band's 60th anniversary, this book is a perfect gift for anyone who's interested in music history or nostalgic for the counterculture of the ’60s and ’70s.Perfect for: Fans and followers of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, and Dead & Company Jim Marshall fans Classic rock devotees and musicians Photographers and photography book collectors Holiday shoppers looking for a great present for music lovers Birthday or any special occasion gift-giving to any devoted fan of the Dead and iconic American rock bands

Love books? The Bordeaux Book Club is seeking new members!When Leah and her husband moved to France, it was with the dream of becoming self-sufficient. But in truth, it’s not the ‘good life’ she’d imagined, as three hours of digging barely yield a single straggly carrot.

An astonishing look inside the gilded gates of Mar-a-Lago, the palatial resort where President Trump conducts government business with little regard for ethics, security, or even the law.Donald Trump''s opulent Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago has thrummed with scandal since the earliest days of his presidency. Long known for its famous and wealthy clientele, the resort''s guest list soon started filling with political operatives and power-seekers. Meanwhile, as Trump re-branded Mar-a-Lago "the Winter White House" and began spending weekends there, state business spilled out into full view of the club''s members, and vast sums of taxpayer money and political donations began flowing into its coffers, and into the pockets of the president. The Grifter''s Club is a breakthrough account of the impropriety, intrigue, and absurdity that has been on display in the place where the president is at his most relaxed. In these pages, a team of prizewinning Miami Herald journalists reveal the activities and motivations of the strange array of charlatans and tycoons who populate its halls. Some peddle influence, some seek inside information, and some just want to soak up the feeling of unfettered access to the world''s most powerful leaders. With the drama of an expose and the edgy humor of a Carl Hiaasen novel, The Grifter''s Club takes you behind the velvet ropes of this exclusive club and into its bizarre world of extravagance and scandal.

An electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer on a lush private island, exploring who holds the power in a modern underworld. Camp counsellor Cory Ansel, eighteen and aimless, afraid to face her high-strung single mother in New York, is no longer sure where home is when the father of one of her campers offers an alternative. The CEO of a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company, Rolo Picazo is middle-aged, divorced, magnetic. He is also intoxicated by Cory. When Rolo proffers a childcare job (and an NDA), Cory quiets an internal warning and allows herself to be ferried to his private island off the coast of Maine. Plied with luxury and opiates manufactured by his company, she continues to tell herself she’s in charge. Her mother, Emer, head of a teetering agricultural NGO, senses otherwise. When her daughter seemingly disappears, Emer crosses land and sea to heed a cry for help she alone is convinced she hears. Alternating between the two women’s perspectives, Fruit of the Dead incorporates its mythic inspiration with a light touch and devastating precision. The result is a lush and haunting story that explores love, attraction, control, obliteration and America’s own late capitalist mythos. Praise for Fruit of the Dead ‘An unnerving literary thriller... An absorbing exploration of ancient themes like power and temptation.’ Mail on Sunday 'Riveting and lush… a spellbinding account of a young woman’s hunger for freedom, the sordid underbelly of big pharma, and the siren call of addiction.' Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters 'A gripping literary thriller, Fruit of the Dead presents a coming-of-age tale that is so well-observed and intoxicating that the reader will lose track of time, but won't forget how they spent it. Egan and Cline fans: assemble.' Caoilinn Hughes, author of The Wild Laughter ‘Ancient Greece meets Succession by way of Emma Cline, Fruit of the Dead is a deliciously dark examination of agency and power, and the savage complexity of the mother-daughter bond.’ Ruth Gilligan, author of The Butchers ‘Mesmerised and profoundly alarmed, I read this in one go; I’ve been haunted by it ever since. I’ve passionately loved Lyon’s writing for years, and Fruit of the Dead further confirms what I’ve long suspected: I want to lunge to read anything she writes.’ R. O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries
