Sedm manželů Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Znal ji celý svět, ale své tajemství si málem odnesla do hrobu… Mladou začínající novinářku Monique Grantovou zaskočí nabídka stárnoucí hollywoodské hvězdy, stranící se už celé roky veřejnosti a médií, aby napsala její knižní biografii. V životní cestě Evelyn Hugo, která byla plná skandálů i úspěchů a jejímiž milníky se stalo vedle několika oscarových nominací především sedmero hereččiných manželství, se odráží nejen proměna americké továrny na sny, ale do jisté míry též dějiny ženské emancipace ve Spojených státech. Což je trochu paradox, protože ona sama je nejlepším příkladem toho, že některé věci se zkrátka nemění – ženy stále těží ze své krásy, šoubyznys je pořád plný falše a obyčejné lidi nepřestává fascinovat svět bohatých a mocných. Není divu, že barvitý příběh filmové divy vzbuzuje v Monique plno otázek. Jedna ji ovšem trápí víc než ostatní: Proč právě ona? Nejúspěšnější z řady bestsellerů, které úspěšné americké spisovatelce získaly miliony fanoušků po celém světě. „Evelyn Hugo je okouzlující ikona, kterou budete obdivovat, ale také nezdolná bojovnice, jakou byste chtěli být. Její životní příběh vezme člověka za srdce a pohltí čtenáře až do poslední stránky.“ – Jamie Blynn, US Weekly. „Nejdřív sňatek, který uzavřela ještě jako neplnoletá a který skončil rozvodem v ...

Stárnoucí ikona Evelyn Hugo je konečně připravená povědět světu pravdu o svém životě. Když ale ke spolupráci na interview přizve zcela neznámou Monique Grantovou, překvapí tím naprosto všechny, a nejvíc samotnou Monique. Mladá novinářka pak v pracovně přepychového manhattanského bytu fascinované poslouchá Evelynin životní příběh, který začíná v padesátých letech příjezdem do Los Angeles a vrcholí koncem let osmdesátých rozhodnutím od filmu nadobro odejít. Během vyprávění o životě plném bezohledné ctižádosti a hereččiných sedmi manželstvích začíná postupně vycházet najevo, že životy obou žen jsou osudným způsobem propojeny.

Audiokniha: Sex, drogy, rokenrol a divoké sedmdesátky v dramatu kapely, které promlouvá i za jiné… Byla to jedna z nejslavnějších rockových kapel své doby. Fanoušci ji milovali, fanynky z ní šílely, recenzenti její hity vychvalovali do nebes a producenti si mnuli ruce nad milionovými zisky. A pak přišel 12. červenec 1979 – den, kdy se sedm členů skupiny Daisy Jones and The Six vydalo vlastní cestou. Jaká dramata předcházela rozpadu celosvětového fenoménu? Série rozhovorů s rodinou, přáteli i jednotlivými hráči formace se vrací na samý její počátek: do roku 1965. Odvypráví jedinečný příběh lemovaný sny i horoucími vášněmi, závistí i závislostmi a především láskou k hudbě, která je vykořisťována bezcitnou mašinerií popkulturního byznysu. Postupně odhaluje, kdo je ve skutečnosti talentovaná zpěvačka a skladatelka Daisy Jones, jak pohnutou historii má za sebou pittsburské uskupení The Six v čele s tvrdohlavým frontmanem Billym Dunnem i kdy se cesty těchto svéhlavých umělců střetly poprvé. Příběh inspirovaný světoznámou kapelou Fleetwood Mac se stal celosvětovým bestsellerem a dočkal se překladu do více než 25 jazyků. Podle knihy vznikla minisérie s Riley Keoughovou a Samem Claffinem v hlavních rolích, kterou uvedla Amazon TV. „Zákulisní intriky jsou motorem románu a proměňují knihu v oslavu novodobého amerického mýtu.“ ...

Orwell - Taylor Jenkins Reid
Orwell has become one of the most potent and symbolic figures in western political thought. Even the adjective ''Orwellian'' is now a byword for a particular way of thinking about life, literature and language yet, despite this iconic status, the man who was born Eric Blair in 1903 remains an enigma. Drawing on a mass of previously unseen material, D J Taylor offers a strikingly human portrait of the writer too often embalmed as a secular saint. Here is a man who, for all his outward unworldliness, effectively stage-managed his own life; who combined chilling detachment with warmth and gentleness, disillusionment with hope; who battled through illness to produce two of the greatest masterpieces of the twentieth century. Moving and revealing, Taylor''s Orwell is the biography we have all been waiting for, as vibrant, powerful and resonant as its extraordinary hero.

Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence 1296–1357 - Beth Reid
The Scottish Wars of Independence are often celebrated for the heroic deeds of men, but behind the scenes, noblewomen played an equally pivotal role in shaping the nation’s fate. In Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence, Beth Reid brings to life the stories of these remarkable women, from royalty to influential landowners, whose contributions to Scotland’s turbulent history have long been overlooked. From noblewomen like Isabella MacDuff, Agnes Randolph, and Agnes Comyn—who made kings, defended castles, and led conspiracies—to royal women who influenced key decisions and defined dynasties, this book paints a vivid picture of resilience, strategy, and courage. Through chronicles, royal charters, and material culture, Reid uncovers how these women navigated war and politics, revealing their critical yet underappreciated roles in shaping the outcomes of the Wars of Independence. Focusing on noblewomen rather than ordinary lives, this book offers a fresh perspective on a male-dominated narrative, shedding light on the influential partnerships and actions of women who stood at the heart of Scotland's history. With meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence is essential reading for history enthusiasts eager to explore the often-untold contributions of Scotland’s noblewomen during one of its most formative ...

The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church - Romanus Cessario

What does it mean to be a man in the twenty-first century? How can today''s men lead a more fulfilling existence? Masculinity has reached a moment of crisis. From the erosion of unifying institutions such as marriage to a rise in male suicide rates, the last century and a half has been a particularly turbulent time to be a man. Increasing numbers of men are finding themselves anchorless, uprooted from the conventions and certainties of their forefathers. Today masculinity itself has come under attack, relentlessly maligned in the media. Now, more than ever, the long and perilous journey from infant to old age is fraught with strange complexities, moral dichotomies and maddening contradictions. Incisive and solution-driven, The Seven Ages of Man offers men of all ages, and the women who love them, a clear roadmap to a more meaningful life and a better future for all. Part practical guide and part call to arms, it encourages a return to decency, compassion, humility, understanding and forgiveness.
