Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador BooksIf a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self – himself – he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it. In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents. If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human. A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "The Man Who Was Thursday" by G. K. Chesterton. '"A man's brain is a bomb," he cried out, loosening suddenly his strange passion and striking his own skull with violence. "My brain feels like a bomb, night and day. It must expand! It must expand! A man's brain must expand, if it breaks up the universe".' In a park in London, secret policeman Gabriel Syme strikes up a conversation with an anarchist. Sworn to do his duty, Syme uses his new acquaintance to go undercover in Europe's Central Anarchist Council and infiltrate their deadly mission, even managing to have himself voted to the position of 'Thursday'. When Syme discovers another undercover policeman on the Council, however, he starts to question his role in their operations. And as a desperate chase across Europe begins, his confusion grows, as well as his confidence in his ability to outwit his enemies. But he has still to face the greatest terror that the Council has: a man named Sunday, whose true nature is worse than Syme could ever have imagined..."

Hlavním podnětem k sepsání této knihy bylo pro autora jeho obyčejné zranění se zvláštními následky, které utrpěl při nehodě v horách. Oliver Sacks se tak ocitl v postavení pacienta, jehož rutinní chirurgická léčba se zkomplikovala a on na vlastní kůži prožil to, co je předmětem jeho celoživotního bádání - neurologické problémy. Sám na sobě zakusil zážitek odcizení části těla... Myšlenky, které ho v jeho nemoci provázely, byly existenciální povahy: Je možné zachovat si celistvé "já" i v případě, že přijdeme o část těla? Co vlastně znamená toto "já"?"Všechno to bylo ještě pořád ohromně neskutečné. Nebyla to moje noha, co jsem po ní šel, nýbrž mohutná, neohrabaná protéza, bizarní přívěsek, sádrový válec ve tvaru nohy - a navíc válec, který pořád měnil svůj tvar i velikost, jako bych používal jakýsi podivně neobratný a nestálý robotský vynález, naprosto směšnou umělou nohu. Byl to pohyb svého druhu, ale neživočišný, nelidský. Tohle že je chůze? Ptal jsem se sám sebe, a potom se záchvěvem hrůzy: s tímhle že se budu muset smířit pro celý zbytek svého života? To se mi pocit opravdové chůze už nikdy nevrátí? Už nikdy nebudu umět přirozeně, spontánně a svobodně chodit? Budu už odteďka nucen myslet na každý pohyb? Musí být všecko tak složité? Nemůže to být prosté?"Kniha s upřímností a zápalem přibližuje pocit hrůzy, ale i zázrak, který je ukryt pod povrchem zdraví a který člověka může zcela proměnit.

The astounding, never-before-told story of how an ingenious Ghanaian con artist ran one of the 20th century’s longest and most audacious frauds. When Ghana declared independence from Britain in 1957, it immediately became a target for opportunists determined to lay hold of whatever assets colonialism hadn’t already stripped. The military ousted the new nation’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, then falsely accused him of stealing the country’s gold and hiding it overseas.Into this story stepped one of history’s most charismatic scammers, John Ackah Blay-Miezah – a con man to rival the trickster god Anansi. Born into poverty, Blay-Miezah declared himself the custodian of an alleged Nkrumah trust fund worth billions. You, too, could claim a piece, if only you would help him rescue it – with a small investment.Over the 1970s and ’80s, he grew his scam to epic proportions, amassing hundreds of millions of pounds from thousands of marks all over the world. He baffled Henry Kissinger, scandalised Shirley Temple-Black, and had Nixon’s former attorney-general at his beck and call. Many tried to stop him, but Blay-Miezah continued to live in luxury, protected by ex-SAS soldiers while he deceived lawyers, businessmen and investigators around the globe.In Anansi’s Gold, Yepoka Yeebo chases the ever-wilder trail of Blay-Miezah – and unfolds a riveting account of Cold War entanglements and African dreams – revealing the untold story of the grifter who beat the West at its own thieving game.

THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into Buna-Monowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III. In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness what he could. He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labour. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain. For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

First advertised as a “mind-stretching experience,” Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 The Man Who Fell to Earth stunned the cinema world. A tour-de-force of science fiction as art form, the movie brought not only hallucinatory visuals and a haunting exploration of contemporary alienation, but also glam-rock legend David Bowie in his lead role debut as paranoid alien Newton. Based on Walter Tevis’s 1963 sci-fi fable of the same title, The Man Who Fell to Earth follows alien Newton from his arrival on earth in search of water; his transition to wealthy entrepreneur, leveraging the advanced technologies of his native planet; his sexual awakening with the young Mary-Lou; and then the discovery of his alien identity, his imprisonment, abandonment, and descent into alcoholism.Throughout, Roeg coaxed a beguiling performance from his cast, presenting not only Bowie in ethereal space-traveler glory, but also pitch-perfect supporting performances from Candy Clark, Rip Torn, and Buck Henry. TASCHEN’s The Man Who Fell to Earth presents a plenitude of stills and behind-the-scenes images by unit photographer David James, including numerous shots of Bowie at his playful and ambiguous best. A fresh introductory essay explores the shooting of the film and its lasting impact, drawing upon an exclusive interview with David James, who brings first-hand insights into the making of this sci-fi masterwork.

Oliver Sacks je dnes snad nejslavnější neuropsycholog na světě. Jeho „klinické povídky“ nejsou jen nezúčastněné kazuistiky kuriózních případů. Autor v nich totiž popisuje životy, nemoci i odlišnosti svých pacientů s neobvyklou mírou empatie a představuje je jako hluboce lidské bytosti. V knize se dočteme například o slepé sochařce, která svůj talent objevila až v šedesáti letech, neboť do té doby měla ochrnuté ruce, o nahluchlé ženě, která slyšela nepřetržitě hrát irskou hudbu a měla za to, že to jen její zubní plomba funguje jako krystalka, o muži, jemuž se zdálo, že se stal psem, a ráno se probudil s mimořádně vyvinutým smyslem pro rozeznávání pachů a vůní a s nutkavou potřebou vše očichávat, o dalším, jinak nikterak výjimečném člověku, který znal nazpaměť všech šest tisíc stran hudebního slovníku, či o dvojčatech, která uměla odříkávat prvočísla až po ta dvanáctimístná, ale nesvedla jednoduché sčítání a odčítání. Příběh muže, který si pletl manželku s kloboukem, byl dokonce využit jako námět pro operu skladatele Michaela Nymana, která byla uvedena i v České republice. Oliver Sacks (1933–2015) byl britský lékař, který žil od roku 1965 v New Yorku a věnoval se neurologické praxi. Byl znám svými knihami, v nichž čtenáře seznamoval s nejzajímavějšími klinickými případy své praxe, ale zároveň se hluboce zamýšlel nad otázkami vztahu mozku, duše a nemoci. Jeho dílo bylo přeloženo do mnoha jazyků a vyšlo i v češtině. Kniha Probouzení se stala předlohou pro film Čas probuzení (1990), jenž byl nominován na Oscara.

eBook: Oliver Sacks je dnes snad nejslavnější neuropsycholog na světě. Jeho „klinické povídky“ nejsou jen nezúčastněné kazuistiky kuriózních případů. Autor v nich totiž popisuje životy, nemoci i odlišnosti svých pacientů s neobvyklou mírou empatie a představuje je jako hluboce lidské bytosti. V knize se dočteme například o slepé sochařce, která svůj talent objevila až v šedesáti letech, neboť do té doby měla ochrnuté ruce, o nahluchlé ženě, která slyšela nepřetržitě hrát irskou hudbu a měla za to, že to jen její zubní plomba funguje jako krystalka, o muži, jemuž se zdálo, že se stal psem, a ráno se probudil s mimořádně vyvinutým smyslem pro rozeznávání pachů a vůní a s nutkavou potřebou vše očichávat, o dalším, jinak nikterak výjimečném člověku, který znal nazpaměť všech šest tisíc stran hudebního slovníku, či o dvojčatech, která uměla odříkávat prvočísla až po ta dvanáctimístná, ale nesvedla jednoduché sčítání a odčítání. Příběh muže, který si pletl manželku s kloboukem, byl dokonce využit jako námět pro operu skladatele Michaela Nymana, která byla uvedena i v České republice. Oliver Sacks (1933–2015) byl britský lékař, který žil od roku 1965 v New Yorku a věnoval se neurologické praxi. Byl znám svými knihami, v nichž čtenáře seznamoval s nejzajímavějšími klinickými případy své praxe, ale zároveň se hluboce zamýšlel nad otázkami vztahu mozku, duše a nemoci. Jeho dílo bylo přeloženo do mnoha jazyků a vyšlo i v češtině. Kniha Probouzení se stala předlohou pro film Čas probuzení (1990), jenž byl nominován na Oscara.

eBook: Man and Wife (1870) combines the fast pace and sensational plot structure of Collins's most famous novels with a biting attack on the inequitable marriage laws in Victorian Britain. At its centre is the plight of a woman who fears that the archaic marriage laws of Scotland and Ireland may have forced her into committing unintentional bigamy. As the novel progresses, the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister when the setting moves from a country house to a London suburb and a world of confinement, plotting, and murder.

One starry night, the woods are filled with enchanting songs and beautiful sculptures. Whoever could have made them? Badger thinks he has all the answers: it has to be a spotty wood-warbler. So, Wolf, Hotpot and Omelette venture deeper into the woods with Badger to try to find the mystery singing-sculptor. But, soon enough, it becomes clear that things aren’t as they seem, and the friends can’t always trust a know-it-all Badger. In The Elephant Who Came for Dinner, facts that are stated with confidence turn out to be false, gently introducing young readers to the importance of interrogating the information we are told.
