Říkalo se, že každý Angličan je ostrov. Tak nějak sám za sebe. Přinejmenším na přelomu 60. a 70. let to neplatilo, stejně jako ve většině zemí euroamerické civilizace. Také mladá generace konzervativní Anglie se zapojila do vlny hippies, multikulturalismu, protestům proti tradičním hodnotám establishmentu a válkám, které ani po té druhé světové v mnoha koutech světa neskončily. Právě v té době přijel do ostrovního království československý student architektury Milan Pitlach a fotil. Stovky, možná tisíce černobílých snímků, zachycujících realitu kolem něj. Nejen tu poetickou v třetí, stejnojmenné, části jeho nejnovější fotografické publikace, v níž dominuje atmosféra tehdejších velkých hudebních festivalů evokujících sto let staré motto francouzských revolucionářů - volnost, rovnost, bratrství. Důležitější než tahle třešnička na dortu je ale možná první oddíl Pitlachovy fotoknihy, nazvaný Ulice. V něm totiž se vší syrovostí zachytil prostředí, z něhož velká část květinových dětí pocházela. Bezútěšnost čtvrtí a zákoutí, kam turisté nechodí, vybydlené bloky domů nebo jen oprýskané zdi s nápisy typu Ježíš byl bezdomovec… Bez lidí, s lidmi - těžko říct, které z nich jsou sugestivnější tíživou bezradností bytí. Oba tyto světy pak spojuje druhý oddíl s víceznačným názvem Tráva, byť fotografie v něm jsou jednoznačné. Rámec knihy tvoří první a poslední dvě fotografie, paradoxně z téhož roku. Na 160 stranách mezi nimi je zachycen dokument slavné doby ve slavném Albionu. Dokument, který leccos připomene i těm, kteří tehdy a tam nebyli.

A reunion leads to tragedy, and the unravelling of dark family secrets . . .It is the summer of 2021 and Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an anniversary. Her father, Sir Frank Churcher, is regarded as a cult figure by many. Fifty years ago he wrote The Golden Bones. Part picture book, part treasure hunt, it was a fairy story about Elinore, a murdered woman whose skeleton was scattered all over England. Clues and puzzles in the pages of The Golden Bones led readers to seven sites where jewels were buried - gold and precious stones, each a different part of a skeleton. One by one, the tiny golden bones were dug up until only Elinore's pelvis remained hidden. The book was a sensation. A community of treasure hunters called the Bonehunters formed, in frenzied competition, obsessed to a dangerous degree. People sold their homes to travel to England and search for Elinore. Marriages broke down as the quest consumed people. A man died. The book made Frank a rich man. And it ruined Nell's life.But Sir Frank has reunited the Churchers for a very particular reason. The book is being reissued, along with a new treasure hunt and a documentary crew are charting the anniversary. Nell is appalled, and fearful. During the filming, Frank finally reveals the whereabouts of the missing golden bone. And then all hell breaks loose.From the bestselling author of He Said/She Said and Watch Her Fall, this is a taut, mesmerising novel about a daughter haunted by her father's legacy . . .

''A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.'' Caroline Criado-Perez, GuardianAlmost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don''t confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers'' enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don''t read her properly - we haven''t been reading her properly for 200 years.Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects - feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution - at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason.Uncovering a radical, spirited and politically engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.

Think you already know the story of Charles Dickens' life? Think again. Almost everything you're familiar with was first mentioned in an authorised biography written by Dickens' close friend John Forster 150 years ago. It's the version of events that Dickens himself chose to make public, and newly accessible archives reveal that it's crammed with gaps, inconsistencies, and outright lies. There's the sister whose existence Dickens kept secret and the Jewish relations whose faith he strove to conceal. There's plagiarism, fraud, and suicide. And that's only for starters. Helena Kelly, author of the acclaimed Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, retells Dickens' story from his childhood to his deathbed, uncovers the truths he tried to keep hidden, and offers a fresh - and deeply troubling - perspective on the man who remains one of Britain's best-known novelists. You won't be able to look at him - or his work - in the same way again.
