The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Fordâ ™s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideonâ ™s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home. (1940).

Audiokniha: Vrchní inspektor Armand Gamache dokáže ocenit nejen dobré jídlo a pití, ale především ryzost lidské povahy. Za dlouhá léta, co slouží u quebecké Sûreté, pochopil, že v zárodku každé vraždy se skrývá lidské neštěstí a že k nemyslitelnému činu mohou vést i drobné křivdy, strach nebo malicherná závist, když je v sobě někdo nechá kvasit dostatečně dlouho. Jenže co když k vraždě dojde za „nadpřirozených“ okolností – ve strašidelném domě a při spiritistické seanci? Mohou snad mrtví zabíjet? A co asi viděla těsně před smrtí oběť, má-li v obličeji výraz takové hrůzy, že to šokuje i otrlého zřízence na patologii? Jedno je jisté. Srdeční a rázovití obyvatelé Three Pines při své nevinné, i když možná nerozvážné noční zábavě něco probudili k životu. A to něco teď straší celou dříve tak idylickou vesničku. Gamache čeká nejen měření sil s přízrakem starého domu Hadleyových, ale i vyčerpávající a nerovný souboj se zrádcem mezi svými nejbližšími. „Pennyová umně vykresluje živý obraz kanadsko-francouzské vesničky, jejích obyvatel a moudrého detektiva, který potěší mnoho fanoušků Agathy Christie jako Hercule Poirot 21. století.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Pennyová je oceňovaná spisovatelka, jejíž smysl pro zajímavé charaktery, malebné prostředí a neotřelé zápletky dalece přesahuje tradiční hranice žánru.“ - LIBRARY JOURNAL „Pennyová stvořila svět, který je chytrý, komplexní a úchvatně napsaný.“ - THE CALGARY HERALD Sedminásobná držitelka Agatha Award za nejlepší detektivku roku!

THE BRAND NEW THRILLER FROM INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER LOUISE PENNY, COMING OCTOBER 2025. PRE-ORDER NOW!Somewhere out there, in the darkness, a black wolf is feeding.Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf.But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division.Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning...In a dry and parched land where there is no water.Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government.From the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.

An honest, radical and moving account of life off the grid. It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be forever. No running water, no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce. In this upfront and lyrical account of a remarkable life without modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire, collecting water from the spring, foraging and fishing. What he finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, water, and fire – much the same life we have lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight into what it means to be human at a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring. *** ‘Boyle s memoir of his first year off-grid is fascinating… A poetic meditation on the almost-mystical benefits of falling in sync with nature.’ —New Statesman ‘A warts-and-all look at an extreme way of life, but one that, by the end of this engrossing book, makes the world around it seem dysfunctional.’ —Irish Independent, BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 ‘A beautiful and thought-provoking story that will inspire you to live differently. Mark asks the most fundamental questions then sets out to live the answers.’ Lily Cole, model and activist

Born in 1821, he had left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris where he became an apprentice box-maker which eventually led him to introductions at the French Royal Court. With royal endorsement, Louis opened of his first workshop in 1854 where his skills and innovations established his brand as one of Europe s most popular.Passing his passion for crafting beautiful luggage onto his son, Georges, and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars, to become the luxury brand it s renowned for.Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities throughout the world and expanded into other high-end brands. The merger in 1987 with Möet Hennessy created the megabrand LVMH, and in 1997 the appointment of Marc Jacobs launched Louis Vuitton into the world of fashion.
