'The superb, funny, fascinating story of Lenin's trans-European rail journey and how it shook the world' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard, Books of the Year'Splendid ... a jewel among histories, taking a single episode from the penultimate year of the Great War, illuminating a continent, a revolution and a series of psychologies in a moment of cataclysm and doing it with wit, judgment and an eye for telling detail' David Aaronovitch, The TimesBy 1917 the European war seemed to be endless. Both sides in the fighting looked to new weapons, tactics and ideas to break a stalemate that was itself destroying Europe. In the German government a small group of men had a brilliant idea: why not sow further confusion in an increasingly chaotic Russia by arranging for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the most notorious of revolutionary extremists, currently safely bottled up in neutral Switzerland, to go home?Catherine Merridale's Lenin on the Train recreates Lenin's extraordinary journey from harmless exile in Zurich, across a Germany falling to pieces from the war's deprivations, and northwards to the edge of Lapland to his eventual ecstatic reception by the revolutionary crowds at Petrograd's Finland Station.With great skill and insight Merridale weaves the story of the train and its uniquely strange group of passengers with a gripping account of the now half-forgotten liberal Russian revolution and shows how these events intersected. She brilliantly uses a huge range of contemporary eyewitnesses, observing Lenin as he travelled back to a country he had not seen for many years. Many thought he was a mere 'useful idiot', others thought he would rapidly be imprisoned or killed, others that Lenin had in practice few followers and even less influence. They would all prove to be quite wrong.

Kniha - autor Catherine Merridaleová, 184 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha Lenin ve vlaku sleduje průběh Leninovy cesty z curyšského exilu přes válkou rozvrácené Německo na sever k hranicím Laponska až po závěrečné nadšené uvítání revolučními davy na Finském nádraží v Petrohradu. Autorka v ní propojuje příběh zaplombovaného vlaku i jeho svérázných cestujících s liberální únorovou revolucí v Rusku. Detailně zobrazuje vzájemné průniky obou událostí. Při putování ve stopách Lenina vracejícího se po mnoha letech do vlasti využívá nepřebernou škálu soudobých očitých svědectví. Pro mnohé byl Lenin jen „užitečný hlupák“, jiní očekávali, že bude bez meškání uvězněn nebo zlikvidován, a zbytek byl přesvědčen, že má v praxi pramálo stoupenců a ještě menší vliv. Jak dnes víme, všichni se v tom fatálně mýlili. Nebýt geniálního nápadu několika německých úředníků umožnit nejproslulejšímu revolučnímu radikálovi Vladimiru Iljiči Leninovi, ukrývajícímu se v...

Audiokniha: Je Beckford místem sebevražd? Nebo se tu lze jen snadno zbavit potížistek? Malé městečko Beckford obtáčí řeka, jejíž tichá zátočina vytváří tůň, nad kterou strmí vrcholky skal. Její poklid je však jen zdánlivý - smrt tu během historie našlo nemalé množství žen, pověsti vyprávějí i o topení čarodějnic v rámci "zkoušky vodou", díky množství sebevražd se jezírku začalo říkat tůň Tonoucích. Poslední z obětí místního genia loci je svobodná matka Nell Abbotová, jejíž sestra Jules se po letech vrací do kraje svého dětství, aby tělo identifikovala. Ačkoli spolu sestry po dávné rozmíšce už roky nekomunikovaly, nezdá se jí, že by zrovna Nell byla sebevražedný typ. Toho roku to navíc není první ženská mrtvola nalezená ve vodě, svůj osud tu nedávno završila i mladá dívka Katie. Jejichž smrt rozčeří nejen hladinu temného toku, ale i zdánlivě idylické životy místních obyvatel. A z hlubin začínají na světlo dne vyplouvat dlouho zamlčovaná tajemství… ÚČINKUJÍ: Jitka Ježková – Jules Abbottová Lucie Pernetová – Lena Abbottová Jana Stryková – Erin Morganová Apolena Veldová – Libby Seetonová Marek Lambora – Josh Whittaker Růžena Merunková – Nickie Sageová Dana Černá – Louise Whittakerová Aleš Procházka – Mark Henderson Vasil Fridrich – Sean Townsend Ladislav Frej – Patrick Townsend Paula Hawkins (* 1972) Narodila a vyrůstala v Zimbabwe, než se v roce 1989 přestěhovala do Londýna, kde žije dodnes. Studovala filozofii, politologii a ekonomii na univerzitě v Oxfordu a 15 let pracovala jako novinářka (např. pro londýnský deník Times). V roce 2009 začala pod pseudonymem Amy Silver psát humoristické romance, poté se však začala věnovat temnějším stránkám lidské duše. Její první román z tohoto ranku Dívka ve vlaku byl přirovnáván k dílům Alfreda Hitchcocka nebo ke Zmizelé od Gillian Flynn a záhy se stal literární senzací roku 2015. Práva na jeho vydání byla prodána do více než 35 zemí. Ve Velké Británii se román ihned po vydání vyhoupl na 1. místo v žebříčku bestsellerů, aby se zde udržel následujících 20 týdnů, což se doposud žádné jiné knize nepovedlo, a stal se nejrychleji se prodávajícím debutem v Británii všech dob. V Americe, kde deník USA Today román vyhlásil „Nejočekávanější knihou roku 2015“, se situace opakovala, když se kniha na 13 týdnů usadila na 1. místě nejprestižnějšího žebříčku The New York Times Bestsellers a byla také nejrychleji se prodávajícím románem v historii. V roce 2016 vznikla podle románu rovněž filmová adaptace v režii Tatea Taylora (Černobílý svět, 2011) s Emily Bluntovou v hlavní roli. Její druhý román s krimi zápletkou se jmenuje Do vody (Ikar, 2017). Jitka Ježková (* 1978) Vystudovala Pražskou konzervatoř a katedru teorie kultury na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. Na televizní obrazovce se objevila poprvé roce 1994 v seriálu Prima sezóna, o rok později pak v seriálu TV Nova Nováci. Od té doby pravidelně účinkuje v televizních inscenacích a seriálech (Jetelín, Případy 1. oddělení, Rapl, Obchoďák, Doktoři z Počátků, Expozitura) a filmech (Ostravak Ostravski, Intimity, Početí mého mladšího bratra, Báječná léta pod psa). Hostovala. Už od 14 let se úspěšně věnuje dabingu. Svůj hlas propůjčila například Kate Winsletové ve filmu Titanic nebo Liv Tylerové v Pánovi prstenů. Lucie Pernetová (* 1978) Po absolvování gymnázia nastoupila jako elévka do Městského divadla v Mostě. Nyní je členkou souboru Městských divadel pražských. Spolupracuje s Českým rozhlasem, hostuje také v Činoherním klubu a v Divadle Palace. Je členkou souboru Veselé skoky. Zahrála si v televizních filmech Dva na schodišti, Crash Road, Až kohout snese vejce, v pohádce Boháč a chudák či v seriálu Život a doba soudce A. K. Je hlasem Tryskomyši ve Studiu Kamarád. Jana Stryková (* 1979) Po absolvování studia činoherního herectví na pražské DAMU (v roce 2003 obdržela Cenu Valtra Tauba určenou pro nejlepší absolventy herectví na DAMU) zůstala na jednu sezonu v Divadle F. X. Šaldy v Liberci a následně v pražském Divadle Rokoko. Od září 2013 je na volné noze, avšak spolupracuje s řadou pražských scén. Natočila několik filmů (např. Případ Andrey S., Zakázané uvolnění, Díte číslo 44) a seriálů (např. Ordinace v Růžové zahradě, Dokonalý svět), pracuje v rozhlase i v dabingu a stala se rovněž oblíbenou audioknižní interpretkou. Vasil Fridrich (* 1976) Absolvoval DAMU, ještě na škole se setkal s režisérem Dušanem Pařízkem, který ho obsadil do role Peachuma v Žebrácké opeře. Po skončení studií získal angažmá ve Švandově divadle, v letech 2002–2005 působil ve Středočeském divadle Kladno. V současné době je členem souboru Městských divadel pražských a hraje také s Komorní činohrou Praha.

Why should the devil have all the best tunes?''Themes of inequality, forbidden love and personal responsibility weave through a fast-paced narrative in which the location plays a key part. Nation CymruThe Salvation Army has come prancing and singing from the slums of London to the poorest quarters of Oxford, but along with its red hot gospel preaching and music hall songs it brings a prohibition message which sparks immediate opposition and violence.An Army soldier – an ex-drunk – is brutally killed and a note suggests that the Salvation Army’s shadowy enemy, the Skeleton Army, is responsible.With the police unwilling to come between the two forces, Non Vaughan, aspiring journalist and great hope of the Oxford women’s college movement, and Basil Rice, Jesus College fellow and union-sanctioned guardian of the dead man’s family, are compelled to investigate.But as the threats from both sides escalate, resulting in a second death, Non and Basil realise that they must stop the fighting before it results in an outright war. For with the University’s annual commemoration week fast approaching, the entire city could be engulfed in fire and blood…An utterly compelling historical mystery, and a fascinating portrait of Victorian Oxford, perfect for fans of Andrew Taylor, C. J. Sansom and Antonia Hodgson.

Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie’s greatest triumph . . . She knows who Truly Devious is.

Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow—somehow—all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers. Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it’s time for Stevie to do something stupid. It’s time to stay on the mountain and face the storm—and a murderer. In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who’ve walked through Ellingham Academy.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

This journey to the edge of Europe mixes history, travelogue and oral testimony to spellbinding and revelatory effect. Few countries have suffered more from the convulsions and bloodshed of twentieth-century Europe than those in the eastern Baltic. Small nations such as the Baltic States of Latvia and Estonia found themselves caught between the giants of Germany and Russia, on a route across which armies surged or retreated. Subjected to foreign domination and conquest since the Northern crusades in the twelfth century, these lands faced frequent devastation as Germans, Russians and Swedish colonisers asserted control of the territory, religion, government, culture and inhabitants. The Glass Wall features an extraordinary cast of characters - contemporary and historical, foreign and indigenous - who have lived and fought in the Baltic and made the atmosphere of what was often thought to be western Europe's furthest redoubt. Too often it has seemed to be the destiny of this region to be the front line of other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and Baltic Barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont reveals a fascinating part of Europe, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt.
