Mnišská kápě - Ellis Petersová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Když za rohem číhá travič, ptejme se, komu to prospěje… Středověkem ošlehaný bratr Cadfael – bylinkář, léčitel a hlava otevřená – řeší třetí případ přímo mezi zdmi svého kláštera ve Shrewsbury. V poválečném prosinci 1138 ke klidu místních benediktinů nepřispěla vražda statkáře Bonela, jenž se k nim uchýlil na dožití výměnou za majetky, co poté řád převezme. Dalo se to uspíšit, tudíž mu kdosi podstrčil otrávené stehýnko. Cadfael se pouští do pátrání nejen proto, že oběd vylepšilo mazání z jedovaté byliny oměj zvané „mnišská kápě“, které pro špitálníky sám nedávno umíchal, ale i z důvodu, že vdova je jeho dávná láska z mládí. Travič zjevně řádil na cestě od kuchyně k starcově světnici, odkud vede jediné okno, avšak vzešel vážně z řad církevních pokrytců? Podezřelé jsou i složité dědické poměry v rodině mrtvého, jelikož ten nebyl zrovna svatoušek. Třetí případ z cyklu historických detektivek s bratrem Cadfaelem, jehož v britském televizním seriálu znamenitě ztvárnil Derek Jacobi.

Koupit tu lze lecjaké vzácné látky a dobroty, tretky, opičku v hospodě – anebo ránu dýkou pod lopatku. Tu ještě v předvečer akce schytal mistr Thomas, obchodník s luxusním zbožím až z Bristolu, a tak ráno plave bradou vzhůru v řece Severn. V podezření je rázem starostův syn, který se s ním zhádal ohledně cla, kvůli němuž je město s klášterem dlouhodobě na kordy, i když tudy stopa nejspíš nevede. Komu panovačný Thomas šlápl na kuří oko a proč se někdo soustavně hrabe v jeho lodi, ačkoli už kupcova mrtvola leží v márnici a zatčený mladík v šatlavě?

Sir Michael Gambon was one of the greatest actors of the last 50 years, with a career that began as second spear carrier in Hamlet, alongside Anthony Hopkins (he had to lift Peter O''Toole - Hamlet - out of Ophelia''s grave and was told he would never work again if he kept dropping him). He went on to star in plays by Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, as well as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films .When Michael Gambon''s memory began to fade, he found it increasingly difficult to remember his lines. Ultimately the job fell to Milly Ellis, to be his ''earwig'', which she did for fifteen years, giving him his lines through an earpiece.This gave her the opportunity to see and hear him deliver some his most outstanding performances.

The Potteries Through Time - Mervyn Edwards
Renowned for their illustrious ceramic manufacturing heritage, the Staffordshire Potteries originally centred upon the six towns: Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton and Longton. The modern city of Stoke-on-Trent was created from these six towns and around fifty villages. In ‘The Potteries Through Time’, author Mervyn Edwards presents a nostalgic visual chronicle of the towns and villages in the Potteries across the decades.In his previous ‘Through Time’ books, Mervyn Edwards focused upon each of the six towns individually, this latest volume explores the hills and hollows between the centres whilst also offering new archive photographs of the main towns We find shabby back streets cowering in the shadow of enormous coal tips - the Potteries’ own ‘black hills’, there are industrial hotspots and busy suburbs. Then there are the proud old chapels and pubs and the even prouder people that patronised them. Stoke-on-Trent was not a pretty place, but as the proverb tells us ‘where there is muck there is brass’, and the fascinating six towns landscape came to be captured by all manner of writers, artists and photographers.This collection of archive photographs is an engaging book that charts changing times and the shifting identity of the Potteries.

“Feels like reading a love story that doesn't quite know it's a love story yet, and a success story that doesn't know it’s made it.” —Emma Straub, New York Times–bestselling author of This Time TomorrowAward-winning, beloved children's book author and illustrator Carson Ellis makes a stunning adult debut with an illustrated memoir that evocatively captures a specific cultural moment of the early 2000s and in her journey as an artist. In January 2001, the young artist Carson Ellis moved into a warehouse in Portland, Oregon, with a group of fellow artists. For the first week she lived there, she kept a detailed diary full of dry observations, mordant wit, hijinks with friends (including her future husband, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy), and turn-of-the-millennium cultural touchstones. Now, Ellis has richly illustrated this two-decade-old journal with extraordinary new paintings in the signature style that has made her an award-winning picture book author today. This beautiful volume offers a snapshot of a bygone era, a meticulous re-creation of quotidian frustrations and small, meaningful moments, and a meditation on what it means both to start your journey as an artist and to look back at that beginning many years later.AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Carson Ellis is a ...

Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Britain and Europe - Bobby Bok, Wouter Beukema, Jeroen Speybroeck, Jan Van Der Voort
This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals.The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains outdated despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb colour illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and colour photographs are also included for most species.The book includes over 370 colour artworks and 200 colour photographs, 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps, and easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification.

Dictionary of Field Marshals of the British Army - T. A. Heathcote
Whether any advantage or benefit will be drawn from the suspension - or effective abolition - of the rank of Field Marshal is debatable. What is certain, however, is that Dr Tony Heathcote's idea of compiling a definitive biographicaldictionary of holders of this illustrious rank since its introduction by George II in 1736, is opportune and inspired.Those readers who anticipate a dry recitation of bare facts and statistics are in for a disappointment. A reference work this may be but the author, by dint of his depth of knowledge, has created a shrewd and highly readable commentary as well.As General Sir Charles Guthrie (the first soldier to be denied promotion to Field Marshal on appointment to Chief of Defence Staff) observes in his Foreword, this book embraces the history of the British Army over the last 250-300 years. It covers not only the careers of key individuals but provides an understanding of their contribution to the successes and failures of our military past. The diversity of personalities, who have only the honour of wearing the coveted crossed batons in common, is fascinating. Alongside the household names of the great strategists and distinguished leaders lie little known and forgotten figures, who ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Walking in the Dark - Douglas Field
A moving exploration of the life and work of the celebrated American writer, blending biography and memoir with literary criticism. Since James Baldwin’s death in 1987, his writing – including The Fire Next Time, one of the manifestos of the Civil Rights Movement, and Giovanni’s Room, a pioneering work of gay fiction – has only grown in relevance. Douglas Field was introduced to Baldwin’s essays and novels by his father, who witnessed the writer’s debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge University in 1965. In Walking in the dark, he embarks on a journey to unravel his life-long fascination and to understand why Baldwin continues to enthral us decades after his death.Tracing Baldwin’s footsteps in France, the US and Switzerland, and digging into archives, Field paints an intimate portrait of the writer’s life and influence. At the same time, he offers a poignant account of coming to terms with his father’s Alzheimer’s disease. Interweaving Baldwin’s writings on family, illness, memory and place, Walking in the dark is an eloquent testament to the enduring power of great literature to illuminate our paths.
