The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry - Gabrielle Zevin

A.J. Fikry, the grumpy owner of Island Books, is going through a hard time: his bookshop is failing, he has lost his beloved wife, and his prized possession - a rare first edition book has been stolen. Over time, he has given up on people, and even the books in his store, instead of offering solace, are yet another reminder of a world that is changing too rapidly. But one day A.J. finds two-year-old Maya sitting on the bookshop floor, with a note attached to her asking the owner to look after her. His life - and Maya's - is changed forever. Gabrielle Zevin's enchanting novel is a love letter to the world of books - an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.

Příběhy opředený život A. J. Fikryho - Gabrielle Zevin

Na odlehlém ostrově Alice ve státě Massachusetts mají sice knihkupectví přímo na hlavní třídě, ale společenský ani kulturní život se tu kolem něj rozhodně netočí. Jeho majitel A. J. Fikry by se sám ochotně označil za mrzouta a snoba a od doby, kdy při autonehodě přišel o manželku, tráví většinu večerů nad rozmrazenými hotovkami a lahví vína. Další rána osudu přijde, když ho neznámý zloděj připraví o jediný cennější majetek, vzácný výtisk Poeových raných básní. Nečekaně je to však právě krádež, co dá Fikrymu první impuls, aby se pomalu odrazil ode dna - a když pak jednoho dne najde mezi regály mimořádně výřečnou, nevšedně bystrou a zcela bezprizorní dvouletou holčičku, jeho život se definitivně obrátí naruby. Gabrielle Zevinová (*1977) vystudovala na Harvardově univerzitě anglickou a americkou literaturu a žije v New Yorku. Příběhy opředený život A. J. Fikryho je zatím jejím posledním románem; vzhledem k tomu, že se jeho titulní hrdina netají odporem k debutům, literatuře pro mládež a příběhům vyprávěným ze záhrobí, autorčinu první knihu Někde jinde (Mladá fronta, 2009) byste v jeho knihkupectví patrně hledali marně, můžeme ovšem přispěchat s ujištěním, že kritika i čtenáři Gabrielle Zevinovou už od samého počátku přijímají velice příznivě.

The Story of Tutankhamun: An Intimate Life of the Boy who Became King - Garry J. Shaw

A lively new biography of Tutankhamun―published for the hundredth anniversary of his tomb’s modern discovery The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked imaginations across the globe. While Howard Carter emptied its treasures, Tut-mania gripped the world―and in many ways, never left. But who was the “boy king,” and what was his life really like? Garry J. Shaw tells the full story of Tutankhamun’s reign and his modern rediscovery. As pharaoh, Tutankhamun had to manage an empire, navigate influential courtiers, and suffer the pain of losing at least two children―all before his nineteenth birthday. Shaw explores the boy king’s treasures and possessions, from a lock of his grandmother’s hair to a reed cut with his own hands. He looks too at Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife, and the power queens held. This is a compelling new biography that weaves together intriguing details about ancient Egyptian culture, its beliefs, and its place in the wider world.

Between Meals - A. J. Liebling

''Fantastic. The benchmark for great food writing'' Anthony Bourdain''The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite''Between Meals is the gourmand and journalist A.J. Liebling''s delectable account of his time spent eating and drinking in 1920s Paris, under the tutelage of his friend Yves Mirande, ''one of the last of the great around-the-clock gastronomes of France''. With gluttonous joie de vivre, he fondly recalls everything from glorious dining (''A leg of lamb larded with anchovies, artichokes on a pedestal of foie gras, and four or five kinds of cheese'') to bad rosé (''a pinkish cross between No-Cal and vinegar''), and an ill-fated sojourn at a Swiss slimming-clinic. Witty, tart and full of gusto, this is a love song to food, wine and Paris.''Liebling transfers excitement, warmth, wit and information ... as hearty and explicit as good Calvados'' The New York Times Book ReviewWith an introduction by James Salter

Nejslavnější letadla II. světové války - A. J. Barker

Kniha přináší podrobné profily šesti nejvýznamnějších a nejproslulejších letadel 2. světové války: Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, Supermarine Spitfire, Boeing B 17 Flying Fortress, Mitsubishi A6M Zero, North American P-51 Mustang a Boeing B-29 Superfortress.Jsou pádné důvody pro tvrzení, že tři americká letadla uvedená v tomto výběru pomohla značnou měrou otočit běh války ve prospěch Spojenců. Spifire smetl příboj nacistické agrese v bitvě o Británii v jejím nejkritičtějším okamžiku roku 1940, kdy mezi nacistickým Německem a Británií stály pouze RAF a Royal Navy.Stuka byla klíčovou „zbraní hrůzy“, které využila Luftwaffe v Polsku, v Nizo zemí a ve Francii, dokud se nestřetla v boji se Spitfiry a Hurricany RAF. Zero je nejúspěšnějším ztělesněním japonské letecké techniky v době války v Tichomoří.Těchto šest letadel je skutečně výběrem nejlepších, která byla nasazena za 2. světové války jak na straně Spojenců, tak na straně Osy.Pět nejlepších britských leteckých historiků uvádí své popisy a analýzy, které jsou založeny na důkladném výběru údajů, fotografií, příběhů a technických vyobrazení, které potěší i ty nejnáročnější fanoušky a znalce letectví.

The School of Life Guide to Modern Manners - The School of Life Press

Modern life is full of minor but acute dilemmas: we get stuck at a gathering with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move on without causing offence; in the course of introducing one friend to another, we realise that we have forgotten one of the party's names; we run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; we spill red wine across a host's sofa...Such dilemmas might - at one level - seem desperately insignificant. But theyactually belong to some of the largest and most serious themes in social existence: how can you pursue our own agenda for happiness while at the same time honouring the sensitivities and wishes of others; how can you convey goodwill with sincerity; how can you be kind without being supine or sentimental? These dilemmas were once covered by books on etiquette or manners. The modern age often doesn't seem to value manners, equating them with an old fashioned stuffiness, instead we are advised to communicate our feelings and tell it the way it really is.But the result, in practice, is that we are often confused as to how to act around others and discharge our obligations to them. This book puts good manners back at the centre our lives. It features twenty case-studies on common social dilemmas and our possible responses to them, contributing to a new and original philosophy of graceful conduct. Manners are far from negligible fancies; they stand at the day-to-day end of a hugely grand and dignified mission which The School of Life is committed to: the creation of a kinder and more considerate world.

The Lying Life of Adults - Elena Ferrante

Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Into which mirror must she look to find herself and save herself? She is searching for a new face in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, which professes to be a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape. Elena Ferrante is unsurpassed in her ability to draw readers into her books from the very first page and she proves this again with The Lying Life of Adults, pulling us into what the Italian trade magazine Il libraio described as 'not a mere story but an entire world.' The millions of readers who found themselves addicted to My Brilliant Friend and the Neapolitan quartet will find that this new novel has the same addictive, do-not-disturb-I'm-reading qualities.

The School of Life Guide to Modern Manners: how to navigate the dilemmas of social life

Modern life is full of minor but acute dilemmas: we get stuck at a gathering with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move on without causing offence; in the course of introducing one friend to another, we realise that we have forgotten one of the party’s names; we run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; we spill red wine across a host’s sofa... Such dilemmas might – at one level – seem desperately insignificant. But they actually belong to some of the largest and most serious themes in social existence: how can you pursue our own agenda for happiness while at the same time honouring the sensitivities and wishes of others; how can you convey goodwill with sincerity; how can you be kind without being supine or sentimental?It is often confusing to know how to act around others and navigate social situations.This book features twenty case-studies on common social dilemmas and our possible responses to them, contributing to a new and original philosophy of graceful conduct.
