Ben Lerner patří k nejvýraznějším hlasům současné americké literatury - a zároveň též k autorům nejrespektovanějším. Každý jeho nově vydaný román se těší velké pozornosti předních britských i amerických listů i literárních časopisů, přičemž jejich recenzní přijetí je vesměs zcela nadšené - na adresu jeho próz padají mj. výroky jako: "Ben Lerner vládne mimořádným citem pro orchestraci, nevídaným hlasovým rozsahem a vytříbeným jazykovým naladěním (…) Jeho psaní patří k vrcholům současné americké prózy." (New York Times); "Přes autorův nesmírně široký záběr a stylistické mistrovství jsou jeho knihy přístupné každému, kdo se chce dozvědět něco podstatného o naší problematické době." (Washington Post); "Lerner je oslnivě inteligentní spisovatel (…) Po jeho knihách by měl sáhnout každý, kdo chce porozumět současné Americe." (The Times) Vše výše řečené platí i o autorově druhém románu 10:04, v originále vydaném už v roce 2015. Ten bývá dokonce považován za prozatímní vrchol Lernerova díla. "Skvělý spisovatel, skvělý román," tak tehdy v recenzi přivítal knihu britský list Guardian, a ono hodnocení platí dodnes: román, rá- movaný dvěma bouřemi, hurikány Irene a Sandy, a prosycený úzkostí vypravěče, je působivou výpovědí o současné Americe i o křehkém, zranitelném egu dnešních mladých mužů.

When it was first published, Andre Dubus said of The Lights of Earth, ''Like her stories, it''s masterly. Its central character is a woman, Ilona Lewis, who confronts loss of earthly love. But Ilona''s experience is far more complex than losing a man because he has become a celebrity. It involves the hearts of all of us seeking the lights of earth, the soul''s blessing in its long, dark night.'' Forsaken by her lover as he gains fame as a novelist, Ilona is stirred by the need to remember the brother she left behind long ago. Revealing the precious worth of life that emerges from the depths of loss, The Lights of Earth is a deeply moving exploration of the soul and a masterwork of style and psychological acuity from one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary fiction. Gina Berriault''s work as a storywriter of great psychological empathy and extraordinary elegance and subtlety was widely praised at the end of her life and, with this reissue of one of her more celebrated short novels, her work can be discovered by a new generation of readers.

The Canadian postwar economic boom did not include one western coal-mining region. When the Canadian Pacific Railway switched to diesel power, over 2,000 coal-production jobs were lost in the Crowsnest Pass and Elk Valley. The Lights on the Tipple Are Going Out tells the story of its fight for survival. Underground mine closures began in 1950, prompting attempts by unions, leftist parties, municipal governments, and business groups to save the local economy. Efforts to reindustrialize in the mid-1960s brought unregulated growth, unsafe working conditions, and pollution. Starting in 1968, new strip mines were built to produce metallurgical coal for Asia-Pacific steelmakers. Not only is this an interesting regional history, but the consideration of the role of labour unions, local communists, and grassroots environmentalists makes it especially compelling. Today, with technological change in steel manufacturing on the horizon, propelled by the climate crisis, Langford argues that the Crowsnest Pass and Elk Valley must look toward ecosystem restoration, sustainable economic activities, and the inclusion of First Nations in decision making in order to embrace a future beyond coal.

The bestselling complete history of the British Navy - our national story through a different prism.The story of our navy is nothing less than the story of Britain, our culture and our empire. Much more than a parade of admirals and their battles, this is the story of how an insignificant island nation conquered the world''s oceans to become its greatest trading empire. Yet, as Ben Wilson shows, there was nothing inevitable about this rise to maritime domination, nor was it ever an easy path. EMPIRE OF THE DEEP: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH NAVY also reveals how our naval history has shaped us in more subtle and surprising ways - our language, culture, politics and national character all owe a great debt to this conquest of the seas. This is a gripping, fresh take on our national story.

A ground-breaking new study that transforms our understanding of one of the most famous battles of the Second World War, widely mythologized as the largest tank battle in history.Today in Russia there are three official sacred battlefields: Kulikovo, where the Mongols were defeated in 1380; Borodino, where Russian troops slowed Napoleon''s Grande Armée before Moscow in 1812; the third is Prokhorovka, where the Soviet annihilation of Hitler''s elite SS Panzer force on 12 July 1943 in the largest armoured clash in history has traditionally been described as a key turning point in the war.The Panzers of Prokhorovka challenges this narrative. The battle was indeed an important Soviet victory, but a very different one to that described above. Based on ground-breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield, Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka. This book tackles the many myths that have built up over the years, and presents a new analysis of this famous engagement.
