Patrick Radden Keefe's work has been recognised by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize and the Baillie Gifford in the UK, for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe observes in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.'Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist; spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain; chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant; and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism.The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event; collected here for the first time readers can see how his work forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.

Mimořádný umělecký projekt spojující světy tónů a barev. Nápad na album The Magical Gallery, obsahující skladby inspirované mistrovskými díly světového malířství, nosil skladatel a producent Darek Král v hlavě spoustu let. Postrádal však to hlavní - hlas, který by dokázal v nahrávce vykreslit vše potřebné. I přes zdánlivou protichůdnost mu přišla nejvhodnější a nejpřirozenější kombinace operního hlasu a elektronické hudby. Dagmar Pecková byla celému projektu velmi nakloněná. Lákavá pro ni byla i myšlenka, že bude mít v repertoáru původní hudbu, skladby napsané výhradně pro ni. K projektu byly přizvány i další osobnosti ze světa klasické hudby: harfistka Jana Boušková, violoncellistka Zuzana Dostálová, Epoque Quartet a tenor Richard Samek. Ve výběru obrazů se autor zaměřil na přelom 19. a 20. století a inspiroval se díly deseti malířů, v jejichž tvorbě je patrná nejen fascinace malbou samotnou, ale zároveň je zřetelný i sociální aspekt, který je ovlivňoval. Dalším klíčem k celému konceptu se stal nápad zpívat jednotlivé skladby v rodném jazyce daného malíře. Tak se na albu objevily skladby inspirované obrazy mistrů francouzských (Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, Manet), italských (Modigliani, De Nittis), rakouských (Klimt, Schiele), předlohami se stala také plátna Vincenta Van Gogha a Johna Singer Sargenta. O texty skladeb se postarali Luciano Lagazzi, Guillaume Basset, Kate Hamsíková, Radka Stahr a nahrávání probíhalo v prestižních studiích All Senses Production a SONO za zvukové režie Štěpána Škocha.

How necessary, at our particular moment’ Tessa Hadley________________From the New York Times-bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves - and our world today.For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.In his introduction, Saunders writes, “We’re going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn’t fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art—namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?” He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity.A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.

F1 is now the fastest growing sport in the world; the full story of its unbelievable rise is a riveting saga only hinted at by the likes of Drive to Survive. In this book - the first, definitive account of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom - Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg take us inside a world full of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, petrolheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers and bitter rivalries.The story of F1's world dominance is one of near-constant transformation and experimentation. This is a sport where the only way to win championships is to land a series of technical moon shots - and then do it all over again. With fast cars, big money, beautiful people, and glamorous locations from Monaco to Melbourne, The Formula tells the full, epic story of the sport. Starting in 1950s Britain, where six years of wartime engineering laid the foundations for a new type of motorcar racing; to the first global star partnership of Senna and Ecclestone; Spygate; Crashgate and its transition into an entertainment juggernaut. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities - from Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton to Christian Horner and Daniel Ricciardo -The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century.The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be - the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, it is the tale of a commercial empire, one built in the 20th century, rendered almost obsolete in the early 21st, and re-emerged world-dominant today; a disrupter that claimed its place in the crowded sports marketplace through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment.

Na světových oceánech pustošily německé ponorky spojenecké floty. Od začátku války probíhala Bitva o Atlantik a Královské námořnictvo, americké námořnictvo a spojenecké obchodní lodě zaznamenávaly proti tomuto podvodnímu postrachu ohromné ztráty. U-505 byla spuštěna na vodu 25. května 1941. Během následujících tří let potopila celkem osm lodí. Ale převaha, jakou kdysi ponorky měly, začínala slábnout a situace se pomalu měnila ve prospěch spojeneckých námořnictev. Ve svých skvělých vzpomínkách Daniel Gallery vysvětluje, jak velel Operační skupině 21.12 v bitvě proti ponorkovému nebezpečí. Jako velitel eskortní letadlové lodě USS Guadalcanal vedl svou posádku při potopení tří těchto hrozivých ponorek, ale jeho největším úspěchem bylo zajetí U-505 u pobřeží Afriky. Byl prvním americkým důstojníkem, který od války v roce 1812 zajal nepřátelskou válečnou loď. Toto vítězství zajistilo Spojeným státům nejen velký úspěch, ale také šifrovací knihy, šifrovací stroj Enigma a další tajné materiály nalezené na palubě. Zrekonstruovaná U-505 je nyní vystavena v Muzeu vědy a průmyslu v Chicagu.

Women of the White House looks at the work, lives and times of the 47 women officially recognized as America's first lady.Through portraits, photographs, accounts and profiles, the book examines their contributions to the presidencies they supported and to the 230-year history of the role. The women who have held the position have evolved it from White House hostess to campaigner for social causes and a game-changing leadership position. A role model for the world, a powerful political player, a traditional yet modern woman - the position of first lady of the United States is many-faceted, complex and beyond high profile.Amy Russo explores how the social platforms these women established - from Mary Todd Lincoln's work for slaves and soldiers after the Civil War to Michelle Obama's fight for girls' education - have not only made the role iconic but also shaped America.
