The world is a bewildering place and we re ill-equipped to deal with it. From the horrors of childhood to the vagaries of old age, from confused people to humiliated animals, we re all just trying - and often failing - to keep it together. How carefully should you answer when asked what you d take to a desert island? What do you do if your parents are reading your diary? How useful is a Swiss Army Knife? And what s A Brief History of Time really about?Armed with a sharp eye for the absurd and an overwhelming sense of doom, Simon Rich explores the ridiculousness of our everyday lives, from the most minute of anxieties to one of life s biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was ... Simon Rich is very much laugh-out-loud funny. He can conjure authentic, from-the-abdomen laughter on almost every page. He stacks surrealism on top of slick satire on top of pure childish silliness in such a brilliant and condensed way, there are sometimes three laugh-out-loud moments within the same paragraph ... He is exactly the right kind of writer for the internet: funny, high-concept, accessible, short, sharable, a James Thurber for the Twitter age Matt Haig

Audiokniha: Existuje spousta vánočních příběhů, ale tohle je zaručeně ten první… Má mnoho jmen, ale vypadá pokaždé stejně – bělovlasý muž s plnovousem, který na Vánoce nosí hodným dětem dárky. Koho by napadlo, že i on kdysi dávno býval malým chlapcem? Jmenoval se Nikolas a narodil se ve Finsku v rodině chudé tak, že jeho jedinou hračkou byl panáček vyřezaný z tuřínu. O maminku brzy přišel a jeho tatínek se jednoho dne připojil ke královské výpravě hledající daleko na severu bájné elfy. Jenže se dlouho nevracel, a tak se ho Nikolas se svým myším kamarádem vydal hledat. A to byl začátek velkého napínavého dobrodružství, v němž nechybí elfové, kouzla, skřítci, létající sobi, ba ani troll a na jehož konci bude lidský svět o poznání šťastnějším a magičtějším místem k životu… Mimořádně úspěšná kniha pro děti se v roce 2021 dočkala neméně kouzelné filmové adaptace. „Andersenovská nevinnost příběhu je protkána temnotou a černým humorem ve stylu Roalda Dahla.“ – Tony Bradman, The Guardian. „Úžasná směsice pohádky a vtipu.

Peredur, The Undiscovered Truth of the Nazi Grail Quest is written in two parts. The first part of the book charts the life and adventures of Otto Rahn, the man tasked by the Nazis, in the 1930s, with finding and getting his hands on the Holy Grail for them. The Nazis were hell bent on finding the Grail and reuniting it with the Holy Lance in a bid to create a mythical past of the Aryan race. Rahn believed that by uncovering the truth behind the Germanic saga of Parzival he would discover the whereabouts of the Grail. Parzival had, according to legend, successfully completed a quest to find the Grail, whilst being a knight in the court of King Arthur. In dissecting the story of Parzival, Rahn concluded that the Grail had been held by the Cathars, a heretical Christian sect, in their fortress at Montsegur. He believed that the Grail was still there, waiting for him to find it and based his quest around this belief. Unfortunately, after chasing round Europe in his efforts to find the Grail, and coming within touching distance of finding the truth, the Nazis patience with him ran out with him, and Rahn came to a sticky end, without ever having found the Grail. Rahn was the real-life figure who inspired the fictional movie character Indiana Jones. The second part focusses on Peredur, a British knight hailing from York, and the true hero of the original Grail Story. By examining the life of Peredur and the Grail Story, Peredur, the Son of Evrawc, written about him, we are able to reach the truth of the Grail Rahn and the Nazis never found. Rahn came very close to uncovering this, but the Nazis had lost faith in him, and casting him as a charlatan, hounded him to his death. Much of the story of Peredur, the Son of Evrawc is played out in the ancient British kingdom of Elmet, encompassing much of what we now call South Yorkshire, and whose southern border lay along the line of the River Don. As the story is unpicked, the truth of the Grail, is unravelled, leading to some astonishing findings.

Wall Street Journal BestsellerThe One Truth is the One Thing that Explains Everything The One Truth, by 17x best-selling author and thought leader Jon Gordon, guides you on a path to discover revolutionary insights, ancient truths and practical strategies to elevate your mind, unlock your power and live life to the fullest. The One Truth is that our state of mind, the thoughts we think, the words we say, the life we live, the power we have and everything we experience is ultimately influenced by oneness and separateness. As you learn about the unseen forces that lower your state of mind, separate and weaken you and the hidden power that elevates your mind, unites and strengthens you, youâ ™ll see life through a new lens, think with more clarity, confidence and act at higher level. Once you know the One Truth, youâ ™ll see how it impacts leadership, teamwork, mindset, performance, relationships, addictions, social media, anxiety, mental health, healing and ultimately determines what you create and experience. For example, a team that is divided is disconnected and powerless. A team that is united is connected and powerful. The same applies to you. When you feel a sense of oneness, connection, and unity you feel strong. When you feel separate, you feel disconnected and weak. The truth is, we are not meant to go through life feeling anxious, disconnected, insecure, cluttered, chronically stressed, worried and sad most of the time. We are meant to heal the hole in our soul and become whole. We are meant to live with hope, clarity, power, purpose, and confidence. The One Truth will show you how!

Záleží už jen na ní, jestli mezi tolika životními cestami dokáže najít takovou, která by ji dovedla ke štěstí… Románový bestseller se stal v roce 2020 vítězem ankety Goodreads Choice Award v kategorii beletrie. „Strhující čtení, plné vřelosti a humoru, které opěvuje moc knih měnit lidské životy.“ – Ian Critchley, Sunday Times. „Vize neomezených možností, nových cest, nových životů, úplně jiného světa, který je nám někde otevřen – to by mohlo být přesně to, o co v této neklidné a znepokojivé době stojíme.“ – Karen Joy Fowler, The New York Times.

Audiokniha: Pomohla přivést na svět Vánoce. A teď musí bojovat o jejich záchranu… Amélie Darrecková z Londýna se stala prvním dítětem, které uvěřilo v Otce Vánoce, a on jí to nikdy nezapomněl. Loni měl však na Štědrý den poněkud jiné starosti: Elfhelm totiž zákeřně napadli obludní trollové. A tak malá chuděra, jež po smrti milované maminky otročí v obávané robotárně bezcitného pana Plazila, začala svou víru ve vánoční kouzla pomalu ztrácet. O rok později Otec Vánoce plánuje nebohým dětem všechno vynahradit a začít chce právě u těžce zkoušené Amélie. Kromě věrných elfů a sobů mu při jejím vysvobozování pomůže dívčin kocour Kapitán Sazinka, slavný romanopisec Charles Dickens, dokonce i sama britská královna Viktorie! Mezitím se zvídavá elfka Nuš snaží vypátrat, co trolly přimělo napadnout mírumilovné sousedy a pokazit tím magický svátek, který přináší dětem po celém světě radost a naději… Pokračování oblíbené dětské knížky Kluk jménem Vánoce, jež vykouzlila úsměv na tvářích mnoha malých čtenářů a dočkala se i úspěšné filmové adaptace. „Holka, která zachránila Vánoce je předurčena stát se vánoční klasikou.“ – Kids’ Book Review. „Půvabné a hřejivé vyprávění není přespříliš vyumělkované ani sentimentální. Obsahuje řadu nečekaně hlubokých momentů.“ – The Guardian. Otec Vodol udělal krok vpřed a zamumlal: „To nejde.“ Dav elfů opět zalapal po dechu a rodiče dětem zacpali uši. „Otče Vodole, prosím, žádná sprostá slova, jsou tu děti,“ upozornil ho Otec Vánoce a pak se zase obrátil ke shromážděným. „Je mi jasné, že to vypadá… obtížně. Ale jeden velice moudrý elf mi kdysi řekl, že nic není ne…, no zkrátka tamto slovo. A na nás dneska v noci spoléhá každé lidské dítě. My jim to kouzlo musíme dát.“ – ukázka z knihy.

Audiokniha: Štědrý večer ohrožen! Otec Vánoce čelí pomluvám a Elfhelm zachvátil zmatek… Osiřelá Amélie našla nový domov a k tomu ty nejlepší adoptivní rodiče, jaké si jen mohla přát – vždy dobře naladěného Otce Vánoce a jeho usměvavou manželku Mary. Jenže zapadnout mezi elfy není pro lidskou holku vůbec snadné, natožpak chodit s nimi do školy. Ve zpívání koled či vymýšlení vtipů zrovna nevyniká a hlava jí nebere ani to, co se zde vyučuje v tradičnějších předmětech, jako jsou matematika nebo zeměpis. A k tomu si znepřátelila zákeřného Otce Vodola, kterého její nový tatínek kdysi připravil o místo v čele elfské rady. Pak už stačí jedna menší nehoda se zbrusu novými saněmi a z někdejší hrdinky, která zachránila Vánoce, je rázem vyvrhelka plnící titulní stránky Vodolova lživého deníku. Se zlomeným srdcem proto Amélie plánuje návrat do lidského světa, ale vtom události v Elfhelmu naberou spád. A náhle je to zase ona – a několik jejích nejbližších –, na kom závisí osud blížících se Vánoc. Kouzelný příběh z mrazivého Severu, navazující na zfilmovanou pohádku Kluk jménem Vánoce a její pokračování Holka, která zachránila Vánoce. „Napínavý, veselý příběh, který krom podmanivé vánoční atmosféry přináší i podnět k zamyšlení nad tím, co znamená někam patřit a co vede lidi (a taky elfy a králíky) k nenávisti.“ – Daily Mail „Úžasná knížka plná kouzel, legrace a dobrodružství je jako stvořená ke čtení pod vánočním stromkem.“ – The Week

Průvodcem pochybovačné Britky na cestě k novému smyslu života se stává postarší Alberto s vizáží piráta – kdysi uznávaný mořský biolog, jenž se zdiskreditoval knihou o mimozemské síle obývající vodstva Středozemního moře. Grace však bude muset čelit nejen hranicím vlastního poznání, ale i přízrakům minulosti a nepříteli obdařenému nepředstavitelnou mocí.Strhující román od autora bestselleru Půlnoční knihovna je plný zázraků, dobrodružství a naděje.

Když se nám daří špatně, potřebujeme klesnout úplně na dno, aby nastala změna. Někdy si musíme připadat jako v pasti, abychom našli cestu ven. Pravdu o sobě samém nepotkáme na světle a čerstvém vzduchu. Rádiu neporozumíme tím, že si v něm poslechneme písničku. Musíme ho rozbít, abychom si prohlédli, jak je vyrobené.A ty první dny na Ibize vynesly na povrch všechno, co se mi dařilo potlačit. Zármutek, zoufalství, samotu. Hroutila jsem se, ale zároveň jsem se viděla. Byla jsem otevřená jako rozbité rádio, stála jsem tváří v tvář svým vlastním nefunkčním cívkám, obvodům a tranzistorům. Všem vadám a nesrovnalostem. A možná to bylo ono. Možná se to stalo právě proto, že jsem tam ležela, rozbitá, paradoxně otupělá a rozbolavělá zároveň. Možná že když křičíš potichu, i pomoc se dostaví neslyšně. Možná vesmír naslouchal. Třeba zachytil můj signál.Nevím. Ale něco se zcela určitě stalo. A načasování bylo dokonalé. – ukázka z knihy

The Truth About Empire comes from expert historians who believe that the truth, as far as we can pinpoint it, matters; that our decades of painstaking research make us worth listening to; and that our authority as leading professionals should count for something in today⠙s polarised debates over Britain⠙s imperial past.In the culture wars, the public⠙s understanding of colonial history is continually distorted by wilful caricatures. With their fight to highlight Empire⠙s horrors, communities whose voices once went unheard have alienated many who would prefer a celebratory national history. The backlash, orchestrated by elements of the media, has produced a concerted denial of British imperial racism and violence⠔a disinformation campaign sharing both tactics and motivations with those around Covid, Brexit and climate change.From Australia and China to India and South Africa, this essay collection is an accessible guide to the British Empire, and a shield against the assault on historical truth. The disturbing stories told in these pages, of Empire⠙s culture, politics and economics, show why professional research matters, when deciding what can and cannot be known about Britain⠙s colonial past.
