The Red Prince - Timothy Snyder
Wilhelm von Habsburg wore the uniform of an Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the decorations of the Order of the Golden Fleece and, every so often, a dress. He spoke the Italian of his archduke mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself.Timothy Snyder s masterful biography is not only a reconstruction of the life of this extraordinary man - a man who remained loyal to his Ukrainian dreams even after the country s dissolution in 1921- but also charts the final collapse of the ancien regime in Europe and the rise of a new world order.

The Red Prince - Helen Carr
War, revolution and love – dazzling medieval history from a rising starWar, revolution, treason and love – the thrilling tale of Sir John of Gaunt brought to life by medieval history s rising star. ‘The Red Prince announces Helen Carr as one of the most exciting new voices in narrative history.’ Dan Jones Son of Edward III, brother to the Black Prince, father to Henry IV and the sire of all the Tudors. Always close to the English throne, John of Gaunt left a complex legacy. Too rich, too powerful, too haughty… did he have his eye on his nephew’s throne? Why was he such a focus of hate in the Peasants’ Revolt? In examining the life of a pivotal medieval figure, Helen Carr paints a revealing portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, patronised the arts, ran huge risks to pursue the woman he loved… and, according to Shakespeare, gave the most beautiful of all speeches on England. *** A TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2021. SHORTLISTED FOR THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY ‘In Shakespeare’s Richard II, John of Gaunt gives the “this scepter’d isle… this England” speech. This vivid history brings to life his princely ambitions and passion.’ The Times, Best Books of 2021 ‘Superb, gripping and fascinating, here is John of Gaunt and a cast of kings, killers and queens brought blazingly, sensitively and swashbucklingly to life. An outstanding debut.’ Simon Sebag Montefiore ‘Helen Carr is one of the most exciting and talented young historians out there. She has a passion for medieval history which is infectious and is always energetic and engaging, whether on the printed page or the screen.’ Dan Snow

Homelands - Timothy Garton Ash

And then faltered. Timothy Garton Ash, our greatest writer about Europe, has spent a lifetime studying Europe and this deeply felt book is full of vivid experiences: from his father s memories of D-Day and his own surveillance at the hands of the Stasi to interviewing Albanian guerrillas in the mountains of Kosovo and angry teenagers in the poorest quarters of Paris, as well as advising prime ministers, chancellors and presidents.Homelands is at once a living, breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress, a clear-eyed account of how so much then went wrong and an urgent call to the citizens of this great old continent to understand and defend what we have collectively achieved.

The Road to Unfreedom - Timothy Snyder
The past is another country, the old saying goes. The same might be said of the future. But which country? For Europeans and Americans today, the answer is Russia. Today s Russia is an oligarchy propped up by illusions and falsities. But it also represents the fulfilment of tendencies already present in the West. And if Moscow s drive to dissolve Western states and values succeeds, this could become our reality too. In this visionary work of contemporary history, Timothy Snyder shows how Russia works within the West to destroy the West; by supporting the far right in Europe, invading Ukraine in 2014, and waging a cyberwar during the 2016 presidential campaign and the EU referendum. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the creation of Donald Trump, an American failure deployed as a Russian weapon. But this threat presents an opportunity to better understand the pillars of our freedoms, confront our own complacency and seek renewal. History never ends, and this new challenge forces us to face the choices that will determine the future: equality or oligarchy, individualism or totalitarianism, truth or lies. The Road to Unfreedom helps us to see our world as if for the first time. It is necessary reading for any citizen of a democracy.

On Tyranny Graphic Edition - Timothy Snyder
A captivating graphic edition of Timothy Snyder s bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting the arc toward authoritarianism. Timothy Snyder s On Tyranny is one of the essential books of recent years, using the darkest moments in twentieth-century history to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. These include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow, an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent, and an encouragement to use personalised and individualised speech rather than clichéd phrases when arguing a point In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive style in Heimat - at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative and trove of memories - to breathe new life, colour and power into Snyder s modern classic, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination and call for action. On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook Ken Burns History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasises the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

On Freedom (EXP) - Timothy Snyder
Brought to you by Penguin. A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival – by the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny. Timothy Snyder has been called ‘the leading interpreter of our dark times’. As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarians. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means – and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we re free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes – the habits of mind – that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace. On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.

Obnova národů - Polsko, Ukrajina, Litva, Bělorusko 1569-1999 - Timothy Snyder
Kniha je jedinečnou a přesvědčivou studií historického vývoje etnických národů založeného na jazyce a identitě. Týká se čtyř východoevropských zemí. Timothy Snyder tvrdí, že Tématy této knihy jsou transformace národních idejí, příčiny etnických čistek a podmínky národního smíření”. Tato témata Snyder vysvětluje tak, že líčí složitě propletené příběhy Polska, Ukrajiny, Litvy a Běloruska a jejich společné kořeny v raně moderním státě: Polsko-litevské unii (1569-1795), kde základy politické identity tkvěly ve sdílené kultuře a občanských právech. Kdy a jak vznikají moderní národy? Proč dochází k etnickým čistkám? Jak mohou národní státy nastolit mír? Tyto a mnohé další otázky si klade kniha Timothyho Snydera Obnova národů a pokouší se na ně opovědět na příkladu někdejší Polsko-litevské unie. Ta vznikla v roce 1569, kdy slovo národ znamenalo něco podstatně jiného než dnes. V Polsko-litevské unii se hovořilo různými jazyky, vládla tam náboženská tolerance, fungoval tam parlament. Vytvořila však - anebo trvale uchovala - také jazyky, náboženství a mýty, které dnes vnímáme jako ukrajinské, běloruské či ruské. Autor nás provádí staletími a událostmi, mnohdy strašlivými a krutými, plnými nenávisti, aby na konci druhého tisíciletí dospěl k branám jiného nadstátního útvaru: Evropské unie.

Black Earth - Timothy Snyder
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2015 SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE We have come to see the Holocaust as a factory of death, organised by bureaucrats. Yet by the time the gas chambers became operation more than a million European Jews were already dead: shot at close range over pits and ravines. They had been murdered in the lawless killing zones created by the German colonial war in the East, many on the fertile black earth that the Nazis believed would feed the German people.It comforts us to believe that the Holocaust was a unique event. But as Timothy Snyder shows, we have missed basic lessons of the history of the Holocaust, and some of our beliefs are frighteningly close to the ecological panic that Hitler expressed in the 1920s. As ideological and environmental challenges to the world order mount, our societies might be more vulnerable than we would like to think.Timothy Snyderâ ™s Bloodlands was an acclaimed exploration of what happened in eastern Europe between 1933 and 1945, when Nazi and Soviet policy brought death to some 14 million people. Black Earth is a deep exploration of the ideas and politics that enabled the worst of these policies, the Nazi extermination of the Jews. Its pioneering treatment of this unprecedented crime makes the Holocaust intelligible, and thus all the more terrifying.

Bloodlands - Timothy Snyder
A powerful and revelatory history book about the bloodlands - the lands that lie between Stalin s Russia and Hitler s Germany - where 14 million people were killed during the years 1933 - 1944.In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow. In a twelve-year-period, in these killing fields - today s Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast - an average of more than one million citizens were slaughtered every year, as a result of deliberate policies unrelated to combat. In this book Timothy Snyder offers a ground-breaking investigation into the motives and methods of Stalin and Hitler and, using scholarly literature and primary sources, pays special attention to the testimony of the victims, including the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. The result is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original book that forces us to re-examine one of the greatest tragedies in European history and re-think our past.

Svoboda - Timothy Snyder
Zásadní příčinou současných politických krizí v západních demokraciích je mylné chápání svobody. Svoboda je pojímána negativně, jako absence státní moci: Svobodní si připadáme tehdy, když můžeme říkat a dělat, cokoli se nám zachce, a vyhnout se vlivu vlády. Skutečná svoboda má však pozitivní charakter, je to svoboda pro něco: Svoboda rozvíjet se a společně sázet na budoucnost. Svoboda je hodnota, jež umožňuje existenci všech ostatních hodnot.Timothy Snyder ve své nové knize rozvíjí myšlenky F. Fanona, V. Havla, L. Kołakowského, E. Steinové a S. Weilové. Kniha se snaží především odpovědět na otázku: Jaké postoje a praktické kroky nám dovolí zformovat typ státu, ve kterém budeme vzkvétat my i budoucí generace?Snyderův výklad nás učí vážit si významu tradic, jež hájí pravice, ale i role státních institucí prosazovaných levicí, a rýsuje cestu k novému politickému konsenzu. Kniha je brilantním ohledáním tématu svobody v současném světě.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “bracing” (Vox) guide for surviving and resisting America’s turn towards authoritarianism, from “a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present” (The New York Times) “Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. He has written the rare kind of book that can be read in one sitting but will keep you coming back to help regain your bearings.”—Masha GessenThe Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.

Nemocná Amerika - Timothy Snyder
Vedle jarní světové zdravotní krize inspirovala Timothyho Snydera k sepsání Nemocné Ameriky i osobní zkušenost s americkým zdravotnictvím. Mezi prosincem 2019 a březnem 2020 se historik v prostředí několika amerických nemocnic obtížně vracel do života téměř od hranic smrti. Zážitek způsobilo fatální zanedbání péče. Autor však neviní lékaře ani zdravotní sestry, nýbrž zdravotní systém. V knize rozvíjí četné historické, etické, politické, právní a ekonomické argumenty pro zásadní změnu amerického zdravotnictví a jeho přiblížení evropskému modelu. Evropskému, respektive českému čtenáři bude znít líčení komercializovaného amerického zdravotnictví jako varování. Právě tomuto systému přičítá Snyder vinu nejen za snižující se věk dožití Američanů nebo za jejich závislost na opioidech, ale i za selhání v době pandemie.

On his home planet, the Little Prince cares for a rose he loves deeply. The rose symbolizes love and beauty, as well as the complexities of relationships and attachment. The Little Prince meets a fox who teaches him about the nature of friendship and the importance of taming or forming bonds. The fox s lessons emphasize that what is essential is invisible to the eye, highlighting deeper emotional connections. The Little Prince visits several planets, each inhabited by characters like a king, a vain man, a drunkard, and a businessman. These encounters illustrate the absurdity and superficiality of adult behavior. The story explores the value of imagination and wisdom through the eyes of a child.

Tyranie: Dvacet lekcí z 20. století v obrazech - Timothy Snyder, Nora Krugová
Útlá, esejistická knížka Timothyho Snydera Tyranie vyvolala před pár lety značný rozruch, záhy se vyšplhala mezi bestsellery The New York Times a vyšla ve více než čtyřiceti jazycích. Autor titulů Krvavé země a Černá zem, zabývajících se holokaustem a masovými vraždami v nacistickém Německu a Sovětském svazu, v ní popsal začátky totalitních režimů. I kdyby jedenáctkrát výslovně nezmínil Donalda Trumpa, bylo zjevné, proč knihu napsal: Trumpův nástup k moci považoval za nebezpečí srovnatelné s fašismem, komunismem či nacismem 20. století. Snyderových dvacet lekcí z evropských dějin 20. století ukazuje, že kolaps společnosti, demokracie a morálky i naše osobní selhání v podmínkách politických krizí nejsou nic nepředstavitelného. Na rozdíl od našich rodičů a prarodičů však máme výhodu, že se z jejich zkušenosti můžeme poučit a nastupujícím tyraniím včas vzdorovat. Nové, ilustrované vydání Tyranie dává dílu další rozměr a sílu. Renomovaná německo-americká ilustrátorka Nora Krugová ho svým vynalézavým výtvarným stylem mění ve vizuálně působivé zamyšlení.

On Tyranny - Timothy Snyder
**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**THE BOOK TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHY DEMOCRACY IS FAILING IN 2025â ˜The most coherent manifesto on confronting Trumpâ ™ New StatesmanIn the twentieth century, European democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism. These were movements in which a leader or a party claimed to give voice to the people, promised to protect them from global existential threats, and rejected reason in favour of myth.European history shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse, and ordinary people can find themselves in unimaginable circumstances.Today, we are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism in the twentieth century. But when the political order seems imperilled, our advantage is that we can learn from their experience to resist the advance of tyranny. These 128 pages are a brief primer in every important thing we might have learned from the history of the last century, and all that we appear to have forgotten Observerâ ˜Clarifying and unnervingâ ¦ a memorable work that is grounded in history yet imbued with the fierce urgency of what now.â ™ Washington Post Please read this book. So smart, so timely. George Saunders

The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of the book s brevity. Written and published first by Antoine de St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world s most widely translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by this wise but innocent infant.This popular translation contains the author s own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life the small being at the tale s heart, and a world of fantasy far removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share their short time together isolated from humanity and finding sustenance in each other. This is a book which creates a unique relationship with each reader, whether child or adult.

The Cat Prince - Michael Pedersen
WINNER of the 2023 Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry Collection Pedersen bends words like no-one else. There s a naughtiness, an innocence and surprising vulnerability in this collection. It s poetry to intoxicate. Just sublime. Juno Dawson Every page of The Cat Prince brought me gladsome joy. Pedersen has the astonishing power of finding the astonishing in every moment that deserves a raised glass Daljit Nagra This laser focused collection of poetry by Michael Pedersen will gut you like a fish and smash your heart in. Searingly specific, exquisite and requisite. I relished reading every tiny morsel of it Shirley Manson Open-hearted, gut-wrenching and yet elegiac, these poems pack a hefty emotional punch. Michael Pederson s poems display a huge vocabulary for love, love in all its many forms and guises. These poems chart the journey from boyhood to manhood, the highs and the lows, the losses and the gains, always working their way towards an essential, emotional truth Jackie Kay If the alphabet is a piano keyboard then Michael Pedersen plays it with the confidence and panache of a jazz improviser who knows that every note can have the potential to change someone s life. Be amazed by this book Ian McMillan Michael s poems are so physical you can almost touch the images in them. Fabulously sensual and alive. I adore poetry like this Stephen FryThe Cat Prince Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.

The Prodigal God - Timothy Keller
Reader reviews A fresh perspective that will transform how you see the gospel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes God has a way to show us ourselves in the mirror and through this book, that s what He did!. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inspiring book for faithful believers and curious outsiders to come to a new and totally life-changing understanding of the central message of the Christian faith. In The Prodigal God, Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the central, beautiful message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation. Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus best-known parable, is also his least understood. He introduces the reader to all the characters in this timeless story, showing that it concerns not just a wayward son, but also a judgemental older brother and, most importantly, a loving father. A fine exposition of the heart of the Christian faith... much needed at the present time - Evangelical Now
