Using a cache of hitherto unseen documents and exclusive insider accounts, this sensational new book tells the story of how a shadowy group, Labour Together, came to the cusp of delivering Sir Keir Starmer to power in Britain. It reveals, for the first time, the way the project sabotaged Corbynism through covert plotting, propelled Starmer to Labour’s leadership and now, having crushed the left in the party, poses an imminent threat to British democracy as a whole. The Fraud reveals the chilling nature of Labour Together. Established in 2015, the project was created by ‘eight brave MPs’ who engaged in secret planning to wrest control of Labour. They included people who are now among the most senior members of Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet: Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Shabana Mahmood and Steve Reed. Morgan McSweeney, the guiding light behind Labour Together, is today one of the most powerful people in the Party, a key figure in selecting future parliamentary candidates. Holden describes how Labour Together pursued its objectives with a substantial pot of undeclared funding, which it used to secretly insert itself into the Labour Party’s ‘antisemitism crisis’ at a time when it was publicly maintaining a position of neutrality in the Party’s vicious factional-infighting. In these pages we see how Labour Together selected Keir Starmer to be its frontman, helping him win Labour’s leadership with the most mendacious campaign in recent political history. The Party under Starmer has since embraced the ugliest forms of racism and Islamophobia, and shared information hacked from journalists critical of its allies. The Labour Together project has subsequently transformed the Party into an authoritarian machine entirely intolerant of dissent, rowing back on an ocean of previous commitments and propagating an agenda of reheated austerity.

Klasika křesťanské duchovní literatury, inspirace pro život v důvěrném vztahu s Bohem. Hannah Whitall Smithová byla pensylvánská kvakerka, která svým pojetím duchovního života odvážně vykročila z tíživé a pochmurné spirituality rozšířené mezi tehdejšími křesťany. Bůh je v jejím pohledu milující otec, který nás doprovází ve velkém dobrodružství života. Kniha je plná radosti, přestože autorčin život nebyl mnohdy lehký. Jak často připomínala, Písmo je "prozářené radostnou zvěstí". Její kniha vyzařuje právě tuto evangelní radost a od svého prvního vydání v roce 1870 inspirovala už přes dva milióny čtenářů. Nakladatelství Triton s radostí předkládá čtenářům první české vydání této úspěšné knihy.

Boh použil roky poznačené ťažkosťami, keď sa zdalo, že život je skôr o bolesti a strate ako o nádeji a milosrdenstve, aby Smithovcov pripravil na niečo výnimočné – na smrť a vzkriesenie ich syna. Keď sa štrnásťročný John v jedno januárové ráno prepadol do ľadového jazera, Joyce Smithová a jej rodina zdanlivo prišli o všetko. John ležal v nemocnici bez života viac ako šesťdesiat minút, ale jeho matka sa odmietla vzdať. Pozbierala všetku svoju vieru a silu a mocným hlasom volala k Bohu, aby jej syna zachránil.Vtom Johnovo srdce zázračne ožilo a začalo opäť biť.V nasledujúcich dňoch John vyvrátil všetky prognózy a dlhoročné skúsenosti medicínskych odborníkov. Po šestnástich dňoch odvtedy, ako sa pod ním preboril ľad a bol vyše hodiny klinicky mŕtvy, vyšiel z nemocnice po vlastných, úplne uzdravený. Nečakaný zlom je o hlbokej pravde, že modlitba skutočne funguje. Boh ju využíva na to, aby nám pripomínal, že je stále s nami a že keď k nej pripojíme aj neotrasiteľnú vieru, nič nie je nemožné.

Britská autorka Ali Smithová se českému čtenáři představila poprvé v roce 2005 výborem Jiné povídky a jiné povídky. V próze Hotel svět přivádí svůj osobitý styl poutající nápaditostí, poetičností, vtipem i hloubkou k ještě vybroušenější dokonalosti. Pětice hlasů po řadě vypráví v pěti časových rovinách o jednom skončeném životě. Každý promlouvá jakoby jiným jazykem, jinak zachycuje život žitý a skončený v hotelu, zmenšeném odrazu světa, poodkrývá jiné střípky skládající se do obrazu, kterému úplnou podobu dává až hlas šestý, jímž je čtenářovo vnímání. Vyprávění se čte jedním dechem jako napínavá báseň v próze, lehce plynoucí a přitom pronikající hluboko, ponechávající dostatečný prostor čtenáři, jeho pohledu a duši.

Wellington - The Road to the Lion's Mound is the story of the 1st Duke of Wellington, the man who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and became a celebrated hero not only in Britain and Europe, but throughout the world. Daniel Res tells the gripping tale of Wellington's exploits, giving the book an almost novel-like readability. In it we discover the story of Wellington's youth in Ireland, his shaky beginnings in politics and the army, his first military success in India and his crucial engagements with Napoleonic France on the Iberian Peninsula as he fights his way from there to the south of France in 1814 - all events which culminate in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. Res presents Wellington not only as an ingenious commander, but also as a sensitive man, one often shaken by the realities and horrors of war. Wellington is revealed to be an excellent horseman, a passionate reader, a gentleman, an impeccable organizer, perfectionist and workaholic, as well as being a Conservative politician with a notably British sense of humour. The author also recounts something of Wellington's wooing of and marriage to Catherine 'Kitty' Pakenham, a story likened by contemporaries to Odysseus and Penelope. This provides the reader with insight into Wellington's development from a 'dreamy, idle and shy lad', an often lovelorn and unrestrained youth, to a man of principle with strong personal convictions and values. The book's title - Wellington - The Road to the Lion's Mound - has been inspired by the monument that today stands on the battlefield of Waterloo and symbolizes the Duke's personal journey. From a scholarly perspective, Wellington - The Road to the Lion's Mound offers up an interesting hypothesis concerning the creation of the Lines of Torres Vedras, and discusses in detail the connection between Wellington's campaigns and the activities of his Intelligence Service, casting fresh light on many of the Duke's crucial decisions. However, Res's primary contribution to the subject as an historian operating outside the Anglosphere is the addition of a richly detailed Central European context to the topic as well as new sources from the Czech and German languages. For instance, Res points to the rather surprising fact that Wellington did not consider Napoleon to be the best commander of his era, but rather the Austrian commander Archduke Charles, who was also the first man to defeat Napoleon in the field of battle. In the final chapter, Res provides an analysis of Anglo-Austrian relations in the Napoleonic Era. Here we encounter Wellington's correspondence with a member of the Bohemian nobility, Marshal Karl Philipp of Schwarzenberg, a figure who led the allied troops to victory over Napoleon at Leipzig. The book also tells the remarkable tale of the 'Black Brunswickers', who banded together in Nachod, Czech Republic and fought their way through to join Wellington's forces in Portugal. Rich in colour and texture, as well as supported by a wealth of illustrations, Wellington - The Road to the Lion's Mound seeks to be a useful new addition to the plethora of books about one of history's most remarkable commanders.
