the prisoner vladimir pereverzin

A shocking, but also wryly humorous and ultimately uplifting memoir of an ordinary man sentenced to lengthy and brutal imprisonment in Putin’s Russia when he refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky.Published originally in Russian in 2013, The Prisoner is the true story of how an ordinary man’s life was torn apart by the Kremlin. One day, Vladimir was a senior manager in Yukos, an oil and gas company based in Moscow, enjoying the good life; the next, he was plunged into the nightmarish world of Russia’s notoriously brutal prisons and penal colonies, including some in which political prisoner Alexei Navalny has been, and continues to be, held. His ‘crime’ was to have refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky. For this, Pereverzin was sentenced to a lengthy and harsh incarceration.As Russia has adopted new laws to punish people for sharing information about its ongoing ‘special operation’ in Ukraine, Vladimir’s striking memoir has become more relevant than ever.

Much has been written about Charles Iâ ™s reign, about the brutal civil war into which his pursuit of unfettered power plunged the realm, and about the Commonwealth regime that followed his defeat and execution. His reign is one that shaped the future of the British monarchy, and his legacy still remains with us today.The Prisoner King provides an examination of the crucial period encompassing Charles Iâ ™s captivity after his surrender to the Scots at Newark in May 1646. Not only were the subsequent months before his trial a time when the human dimension of the kingâ ™s predicament assumed intensity, they were also a critical watershed when the entire nation stood at the most fateful of crossroads.For Charles himself â “ as subterfuge, espionage and assassination rumours escalated on all fronts, escape attempts foundered, and tensions with his absent wife mounted agonisingly â “ the test was supreme. Yet, in a painful passage involving both stubborn impenitence and uncommon fortitude in the face of â ˜barbarous usageâ ™ by his captors, the â ˜Man of Bloodâ ™ would ultimately come to merit his unique place in history as Englandâ ™s â ˜martyr kingâ ™.

A darkly comic dystopian odyssey, from one of Russia s leading contemporary novelistsGarin, a country doctor, is desperately trying to reach the village of Dolgoye, where a mysterious epidemic is transforming the villagers into zombies. He has with him a vaccine which will prevent the spread of this epidemic, but a terrible blizzard turns his journey into the stuff of nightmare. A trip that should take hours turns into a metaphysical odyssey, in which he encounters strange beasts, apparitions, hallucinations and dangerous fellow men. Trapped in this existential storm, Sorokin s characters fight their way through a landscape that owes as much to Chekhov s 19th-century Russia as it does to near-future, post-apocalyptic literature. Fantastical, comic and richly drawn, The Blizzard at once answers to the canon of Russian writers and makes a fierce statement about life in contemporary Russia.

Unsure whether his suicide has been successful or not, Smurov drifts around Berlin, observing his acquaintances, but finds he can discover very little about his own life from the opinions of his distracted, confused fellow-émigrés. Nabokov s shortest novel, The Eye is both a satirical detective story and a wonderfully layered exploration of identity, appearance and the loss of self in a world of word-play and confusion.

The Durrell family are immortalised in Gerald Durrell s My Family and Other Animals and its ITV adaptation, The Durrells. But what of the real life Durrells? Why did they go to Corfu in the first place - and what happened to them after they left? The real story of the Durrells is as surprising and fascinating as anything in Gerry s books, and Michael Haag, with his first hand knowledge of the family, is the ideal narrator, drawing on diaries, letters and unpublished autobiographical fragments. The Durrells of Corfu describes the family s upbringing in India and the crisis that brought them to England and then Greece. It recalls the genuine characters they encountered on Corfu - Theodore the biologist, the taxi driver Spiro Halikiopoulos and the prisoner Kosti - as well as the visit of American writer Henry Miller. And Haag has unearthed the story of how the Durrells left Corfu, including Margo s and Larry s last-minute escapes before the War. An extended epilogue looks at the emergence of Larry as a world famous novelist, and Gerry as a naturalist and champion of endangered species, as well as the lives of the rest of the family, their friends and other animals. The book is illustrated with family photos from the Gerald Durrell Archive, many of them reproduced here for the first time.

Highlighted by the prisoner-of-war escapes that earned them the name “The Houdini Club,” here is the elite combat odyssey of World War II’s “Darby’s Rangers” as never told before—drawing on previously unknown sources and former Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar’s exclusive, uncensored interviews with the greatest generation of Rangers themselves.This thrilling, personality-driven account of the first United States Army Ranger battalions follows an extraordinary band of American soldiers from their rugged Ranger training to their battles in North Africa, France, Sicily, and mainland Italy, and (for some) finally back to American shores. Drawing upon unprecedented historical research, military-service expertise, exclusive interviews, and personal correspondence with original Greatest Generation Army Rangers, The Houdini Club is an uncensored work of military history, encapsulating both the history and personal drama of World War II Special Forces warfare. From the abundant tales of glory to the tales of misery, fear, and murderous intent, the utter exhaustion and thrill of combat, and the devastating final battle that all but destroyed them, The Houdini Club puts readers on the ground alongside the Rangers who made victory in Europe possible, portraying in gritty detail the lives and acts of one of the American military’s greatest collection of men.

It is quite an experience to be locked up all by yourself in any size room says the anonymous narrator of Hubert Selby Jr. s second novel. What follows is a startling series of recollections and fantasies that illuminate the workings of a prisoner s unhinged mind. He yearns for his violent childhood, rages against obscure authorities, and imagines enacting horrible revenge on those who imprisoned him. The prisoner s remand cell becomes the scene of a surreal mental torture.Disorienting, nightmarish and structurally inventive, The Room is a shocking examination of the suffering humans can inflict on each other.

Kniha je v češtině a angličtině. Les nelze nemilovat. Ač oprávněně vzbuzuje jistou bázeň, naplňuje nás přirozeným klidem, harmonií, pocitem odvěkého řádu i sounáležitosti. Starý les je již téměř mysterium – symbol věčnosti. Takto ho můžeme spatřit na fotografiích Vladimíra Bichlera, který se s pokorou a neutuchající fascinací již řadu let vydává na Lomňansko (Horní a Dolní Lomná) v Moravskoslezských Beskydech. Jako nenápadný průvodce nás svými fotografiemi vtahuje do atmosféry lesa a otevírá novou dimenzi prožitku z procházky mezi stromy. Díky jeho vzácným fotografiím si můžeme uvědomit krásu a tajemství, jež nás zcela přesahují. Publikaci, která přináší na sto černobílých fotografií, autor doprovodil svými krátkými úvahami o vztahu člověka a lesního společenství. The forest cannot be loved. Although it justifiably arouses feelings of dread, it also fills us with a natural calmness, harmony, and a sense of ancient order and belonging. An old forest is a mysterious thing, a symbol of eternity. This is how it has been captured in the photographs of Vladimír Bichler, who spent years – humbly and with unwavering fascination – exploring the “Lomňansko” region, the area around the towns of Dolní Lomná and Horní Lomná in the Beskid Mountains. Like an unassuming guide, he brings the atmosphere of the forest to life through his photographs to offer us the experience of walking among the trees. Thanks to his exceptional images, we are introduced to beauty and mystery that entirely transcend our being. Bichler accompanies his collection of around a hundred black-and-white photographs with several brief meditations on man’s relationship to the forest community.

Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Řeka zázraků není obyčejná kniha. Je to proud vzpomínek, smíchu, trapasů, odvahy, prvních lásek, podělaných kalhot i těch, co jsme včas přepírali u babičky. Vladimír Kořen – známý moderátor a milovník přírody – vás vezme na cestu, která začíná u porodní váhy a pokračuje přes šachové partie s dědou, tajemství v rybářské chatě až po chvíle, kdy člověk hledá smysl mezi kapkami rosy a slovem „plezír“. Tohle nejsou memoáry. Jsou to příběhy z obyčejného života – tak živé, že si možná řeknete: „Takhle to měl někdy i můj táta. Nebo já.“ Není třeba vědět, co je pravda a co legenda. Stačí se nechat unést. Co ti kniha přinese Radost z příběhů, které umí být něžné, dojemné i pěkně drsné. Návrat k dětství, kdy voněla tráva, bolelo břicho ze smíchu a sny byly větší než panelák. Poctivou porci humoru, přírodních zákonů i šachových matů. Nahlédnout do knihy Jak kniha vznikala Vladimír Kořen vyprávěl příběhy od dětství – rodině, kamarádům, sousedům i kukačkám v obýváku. Jenže odvahu pustit je do světa mezi čtenáře sbíral dlouho. Televizní obrazovka je fajn, ale na šachovou partii s dědou, rybí duši a pubertální průšvihy z Teplic je zkrátka moc malá a moc placatá. A tak mu nezbylo než otevřít se papíru – protože kniha unese i to, co by se do nedělního vysílání nevešlo. Podle Vladimíra za to, že kniha Řeka zázraků vůbec vznikla, můžou tři věci: Jeho žena, která několik let (pozoruhodnou diplomacií) nenápadně směrovala celou rodinu směrem k nakladatelství Kazda. Stav přírody – hlavně řek, které už tolik nepřipomínají řeky, ale spíš natažené vodní hadice bez života. A on má řeku v duši. A konečně: našel si čas. Ano, i mezi moderováním, otcovstvím, šachovými prohrami a chytáním parmy na těsto s anýzem. Výsledek? Sbírka příběhů, která vás rozesměje, dojme a někdy i trochu nakopne. Protože svět potřebuje víc než jen „běžný tok událostí“. Doporučení nakladatele "Kniha, která se čte jako vzpomínka na něco, co jste možná zažili – nebo jste to jen zapomněli. Dojemné, vtipné, lidské. Pro všechny, kdo mají rádi život takový, jaký opravdu je – včetně mastné známky, rozbitého džbánku a ryby, kterou je lepší pustit zpátky." - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi Úryvek z knihy „Můj děda měl v sobě řeku, její proudy a taky ryby. Cejny jako lopaty. Tmavé spodní štiky, co se loví na šibeničku, a fousaté bojovnice parmy. Moc o tom nemluvil, ale často celé hodiny sedával na břehu u chaty a díval se, jak řeka pomalu plyne. Obdivně a dlouze. Natáhl dým z cigarety a splynul se svou krajinou. Řece věřil. Snil, že k ní patří a je u ní v dobrých rukou, i když se smrti bál. Měl jsem podobný pocit.

Podle Vladimíra za to, že kniha Řeka zázraků vůbec vznikla, můžou tři věci: Jeho žena, která několik let (pozoruhodnou diplomacií) nenápadně směrovala celou rodinu směrem k nakladatelství Kazda. Stav přírody – hlavně řek, které už tolik nepřipomínají řeky, ale spíš natažené vodní hadice bez života. A on má řeku v duši. A konečně: našel si čas. Ano, i mezi moderováním, otcovstvím, šachovými prohrami a chytáním parmy na těsto s anýzem. Výsledek? Sbírka příběhů, která vás rozesměje, dojme a někdy i trochu nakopne. Protože svět potřebuje víc než jen „běžný tok událostí“. Doporučení nakladatele "Kniha, která se čte jako vzpomínka na něco, co jste možná zažili – nebo jste to jen zapomněli. Dojemné, vtipné, lidské. Pro všechny, kdo mají rádi život takový, jaký opravdu je – včetně mastné známky, rozbitého džbánku a ryby, kterou je lepší pustit zpátky." - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi Úryvek z knihy „Můj děda měl v sobě řeku, její proudy a taky ryby. Cejny jako lopaty. Tmavé spodní štiky, co se loví na šibeničku, a fousaté bojovnice parmy. Moc o tom nemluvil, ale často celé hodiny sedával na břehu u chaty a díval se, jak řeka pomalu plyne. Obdivně a dlouze. Natáhl dým z cigarety a splynul se svou krajinou. Řece věřil. Snil, že k ní patří a je u ní v dobrých rukou, i když se smrti bál. Měl jsem podobný pocit. Tady jsem byl v bezpečí.“ O autorovi Vladimír Kořen Vladimír Kořen je český moderátor, popularizátor vědy a životního prostředí, bývalý starosta Říčan, učitel a nyní také spisovatel.
