The Novotny Papers - Pizzichini Lilian

‘I have always been a bird. A bit vulture, a bit eagle. I have looked the sun in its face. Born several times - dead several times so that I could be reborn from my ashes. It is almost impossible to summarize the extraordinary life of Mariella Novotny in a few paragraphs. In 1961 she was an underage prostitute engaging in sexual relations with President Kennedy. She was believed to be part of a vice ring set up by an alleged Communist agent who was also a British film producer. FBI officers called their investigation The Bow-Tie Case. Two years later the Monroe lookalike played a major part in the Profumo Affair. She was a close friend of Stephen Ward, another putative whistle-blower who died in suspicious circumstances. In the late 1960s, she gave birth to the child of Eddie Chapman, England’s most successful wartime double agent. Between 1975 and 1978 she worked undercover for Operation Countryman, an investigation into police corruption in the Flying Squad. Her chief target was the author s grandfather, Charlie Taylor, a London conman who had high-ranking officers in his deep pockets. Mariella brought them all down. Mariella was found dead in her bed in February 1983. She was in the process of writing her memoirs. In the author s own words, This is a life that is bigger than the woman who led it. She embodies the emergence of a radical sexual politics.

Případ Novotná Novotny - Žena, která znala tajemství mocných - Pizzichini Lilian

Trochu sup, trochu orelMariella Novotny prožila život jako z románu, v němž se mísily intriky, mocenské hry i temné stránky britské a americké společnosti 60. a 70. let. Ráda prohlašovala, že jejím strýcem je československý prezident Antonín Novotný. Coby mladičká prostitutka se dostala do blízkosti nejvlivnějších mužů světa, včetně prezidenta Johna F. Kennedyho, a do hledáčku FBI a MI5. Její jméno je spojeno s aférami, které otřásly národní bezpečností, s tajemnými večírky i s kontroverzními postavami, jako byl osteopat Stephen Ward či slavný dvojitý agent Eddie Chapman.Mariellin osud se odvíjí jako mistrně vystavěný thriller. Její životní příběh je nejen svědectvím o době, v níž byly sex, špionáž a politika neoddělitelně propojeny, ale i příběhem ženy, která nikdy neztratila odvahu.

The Federalist Papers - Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison

The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles and essays written by James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton to promote the ratification of the US Constitution. Up to the 20th century, the collection was usually referred to as The Federalist.They were intended to persuade people to accept the Constitution. In Federalist No. 10, Madison argues for a vast, commercial republic and explores ways to prevent majority faction domination. In Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton argues that the proposed Constitution s multiple freedom-protecting clauses collectively constitute a bill of rights. The best explanation of what has come to be known as Federalism is provided by James Madison. An incomparable explication of the Constitution may be found in The Federalist Papers.Hamilton turned down three of Morris s essays, and Morris declined the invitation. Duer later wrote in favor of the three Federalist authors under the pen name Philo-Publius, which is based on Hamilton s pseudonym Publius and may mean either Friend of the People or Friend of Hamilton. The three men produced 85 articles in all for six months. Madison is regarded as the father of the Constitution, while Hamilton served as the first secretary of the Treasury.

The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens

One of my life s greatest tragedies is to have already read Pickwick Papers - I can t go back and read it for the first time Fernando PessoaFew first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers - a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the sportsman Winkle and, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, and his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickens s pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Mark Wormald

The Body Papers - Grace Talusan

Winner of The Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, Grace Talusan⠙s critically acclaimed memoir The Body Papers, a New York Times Editors⠙ Choice selection, powerfully explores the fraught contours of her own life as a Filipino immigrant and survivor of cancer and childhood abuse.Born in the Philippines, young Grace Talusan moves with her family to a New England suburb in the 1970s. At school, she confronts racism as one of the few kids with a brown face. At home, the confusion is worse: her grandfather⠙s nightly visits to her room leave her hurt and terrified, and she learns to build a protective wall of silence that maps onto the larger silence practiced by her Catholic Filipino family. Talusan learns as a teenager that her family⠙s legal status in the country has always hung by a thread⠔for a time, they were ⠜illegal.⠝ Family, she⠙s told, must be put first.The abuse and trauma Talusan suffers as a child affects all her relationships, her mental health, and her relationship with her own body. Later, she learns that her family history is threaded with violence and abuse. And she discovers another devastating family thread: cancer. In her thirties, Talusan must decide whether to undergo preventive surgeries to remove her breasts and ovaries. Despite all this, she finds love, and success as a teacher. On a fellowship, Talusan and her husband return to the Philippines, where she revisits her family⠙s ancestral home and tries to reclaim a lost piece of herself.Not every family legacy is destructive. From her parents, Talusan has learned to tell stories in order to continue. The generosity of spirit and literary acuity of this debut memoir are a testament to her determination and resilience. In excavating such abuse and trauma, and supplementing her story with government documents, medical records, and family photos, Talusan gives voice to unspeakable experience, and shines a light of hope into the darkness.

The Oak Papers - James Canton

Some five years ago, I sought solace from the ways of the world by stepping into the embrace of an ancient oak tree . . . From the first meeting, there grew a strange sense of attachment I did not consciously recognise until I later began to realise the significance that trees, and oak trees especially, can have in our lives. James Canton spent two years sitting with and studying the Honywood Oak. A colossus of a tree, it would have been a sapling when Magna Carta was signed. Initially visiting the tree for escape and solitude, in time he learns to study it more closely. He examines how our long-standing dependency on oak trees has developed and morphed into myth and legend.The Oak Papers is a stunning, meditative and healing book about the lessons we can learn from the natural world, if only we slow down enough to listen.

The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens

When young Charles Dickens was commissioned to write the text for a series of sporting illustrations in 1836, no one could have suspected that this journeyman task was to turn in to one of the great comic novels in English literature. After the premature death of the original illustrator, Dickens took charge of the project, which was published in monthly parts. The result is a brilliant panorama of English life in the 1830s, a cornucopia of stories and vignettes featuring dozens of vividly drawn characters. Chief among them are Mr Pickwick himself, a later day Don Quixote travelling about the country righting wrongs; and his Sancho Panza, Sam Weller, whose pithy sayings and bizarre anecdotes immediately became and remained part of national mythology. With The Pickwick Papers Dickens established himself at a single stroke as a major creative artist, revealing the depth of his human sympathies, the breadth of his interests and his extraordinary linguistic virtuosity.

Astute, funny and heartbreaking TANYA GOLDCorruption, destruction, danger and murder: Welcome to the murky world of the super-rich. Timothy â ˜Timboâ ™ Smith, part-time healer and self-styled security analyst, travels down the dark canyons of global capitalism, from short-selling scams in the City to the depleted rainforests of Brazil.His accomplices in this irresistible safari through the late modern world are two reformed alcoholics, the lovely and brilliant Lee â ˜Lethalâ ™ Thorold, and her husband Professor Luke Deverill, lecherous Oxford philosopher and caustic computer wizard. Their misadventures are followed at a bewildered distance by the played-out diplomatic correspondent Dickie Pentecost, who tags along mostly because Timbo is the only man who can cure his agonising back and is always one step behind the Machiavellian actions of those who precede him.From the author of the searing satire, Making Nice, comes his most entertaining, perceptive and unflinching novel yet, lifting the veil on the seedy realities of modern life.
