the upside down river hannah s journey jean claude mourlevat

Hannah has lost almost everything she ever loved, apart from one beautiful songbird. But the bird seems to be dying. So Hannah sets out on an incredible adventure to find the magical upside down River Qjar, whose waters can give her beloved bird eternal life. She journeys across deserts and over dizzyingly high mountains, lives an entire lifetime in the blink of an eye, braves the terrifying Forest of Oblivion, and is mistaken for a long-lost princess. And along the way, Hannah meets Tomek, an ordinary boy who will follow her extraordinary quest... A sequel to Tomek's Journey, this modern classic is now available to read in English for the very first time. Translated by Ros Schwartz.

Pierre-Marie Sotto je slavný, u čtenářů úspěšný a kritikou oceňovaný spisovatel. Je to ale také stárnoucí, osamělý muž, a pokud jde o jeho práci - momentálně je v hluboké tvůrčí krizi. Jednoho dne k němu dorazí objemná obálka bez zpáteční adresy; jediný kontakt na ní uvedený je e-mailová adresa jisté Adeline Parmelanové. Sotto nepochybuje, že mu nějaká "nadějná spisovatelka" posílá k posouzení svůj rukopis. Obálku neotevře, odesílatelku zdvořile odmítne a požádá ji o adresu, kam by mohl zásilku vrátit. Než mu Adeline vyhoví, vymění si spolu několik e-mailů, které jsou natolik vtipné a zajímavé, že v dopisování pokračují a objemná obálka zůstává (na žádost Adeline) ležet neotevřená na Sottově polici. Jenomže je v tom háček… Anne-Laure Bondouxová (*1971) vystudovala moderní literaturu a poté začala psát zejména pro děti v těžké životní situaci; pro ně také založila úspěšnou dílnu tvůrčího psaní. Věnovala se divadlu, psaní písní, pracovala jako knižní redaktorka i novinářka. Její romány jsou přeloženy do dvacítky jazyků a jak ve Francii, tak v zahraničí za ně získala několik ocenění, udělovaných za tvorbu pro děti a mládež.

Naštěstí má dobré přátele a rozum v hrsti. V této strhující a zároveň humorné detektivce, kterou oblíbený autor velkých příběhů Jean-Claude Mourlevat věnoval svým dětem, se čtenáři neformálně dozvídají o podivných lidských praktikách, které nejsou ke zvířecímu světu zrovna spravedlivé, o tom, jak mnoho zmůže síla přátelství, i o tom, že nejlíp si poradí ten, kdo je pevně rozhodnut potřít nespravedlnost a má pro strach uděláno!

Románový příběh dvou osamělých dětí. Tomek má jediného přítele, starého moudrého vesnického písaře, Hannah miluje svého žlutomodře zbarveného ptáčka, jedinou památku na zemřelého otce. Ti dva se nakrátko setkají v Tomkově krámku, kde chce Hannah koupit živou vodu z řeky Kžar… Tak začíná Tomkovo hledání řeky Kžar, a hlavně tajemné Hannah, která mu stále uniká. Moderní příběh čerpá z odvěkých zdrojů, ale i z dětské touhy po dobrodružství, mořích, pouštích, přátelství a lásce. Najdou se dvě dospívající děti? A co všechno jejich shledání předcházelo? Jean-Claude Mourlevat, původním povoláním učitel a divadelník, je jedním z nejzajímavějších autorů pro děti a mládež v současné Francii: inspiraci ke svým příběhům často čerpá z pohádkové mytologie, vypráví je však živě a současně.

To ráno vládne v domě ježka Jeffersona, brilantního studenta geografie a příležitostného detektiva, neuvěřitelné ticho. Země zvířat je totiž celá pod sněhem. A pod sněhem, před garáží jeho věrného přítele prasete Gilberta, začíná i jejich další velký případ. Jaké strašné tajemství skrývá holinka trčící ze sněhu? Co uviděl kocour Emil za drátěným plotem v hlubokém lese? A jakou roli v příběhu sehraje neslyšící veverka? Dokážou v sobě zvířata najít dost odvahy a zarputilosti, aby porazila mocného soupeře, kterého se všichni bojí? Ve zvířecích detektivkách Jeana-Clauda Mourlevata, nositele ceny Astrid Lindgrenové, se proti bezohlednosti a hlouposti bojuje především silou přátelství a humorem: co jiného bychom také měli učit děti, když je vpravujeme do našeho lidského světa?

A collection of 36 short stories from a Raqqa, Syria native whose home was commandeered by ISIS and later destroyed by coalition airstrikes.Musa Al-Halool developed these stories based on a sense of embitterment toward the Syrian regime. Now, after his country has fallen from the grips of an obtuse and rigidly bureaucratic state into the uncertainties of war . . . he presents his stories as the response of one still-same voice in the midst of madness.Musa Al-Halool’s stories depict a Kafkaesque Middle Eastern world.

In what we tell ourselves is an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. An astonishing number of people subscribe to celebrity endorsed cults, Mayan armageddon prophecies, scientism, and other varieties of new age, anti-enlightenment philosophies. Millions more advance popular conspiracy theories: AIDS was created in a CIA laboratory, Princess Diana was assassinated, and the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.In The World Turned Upside Down, Melanie Phillips explains that the basic cause of this explosion of irrationality is the slow but steady marginalization of religion. We tell ourselves that faith and reason are incompatible, but the opposite is the case. It was Christianity and the Hebrew Bible, Phillips asserts, that gave us our concepts of reason, progress, and an orderly world on which science and modernity are based.Without its religious traditions, the West has drifted into mass derangement where truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and aggressor are all turned upside down. Scientists skeptical of global warming are hounded from their posts, Israel is demonized, and the US is vilified over the war on terror—all on the basis of blatant falsehoods and obscene propaganda.Worst of all, asserts Phillips, this abandonment of rationality leaves the West vulnerable to ...

Many Christians are tempted to dismiss concerns over the environment and the catastrophic effects of climate change. After all, prominent voices who most vociferously warn us about this crisis tend to also advocate a wider worldview antithetical to Christian teachings. In this text, noted philosopher and scholar Jean-Claude Larchet finds the roots of the global ecological crisis in a rejection of a truly Christian cosmology. Explaining the relationship between man and nature ordained by God in the beginning, Larchet bases the degradation of the creation ultimately in the primordial fall and outlines how we have arrived at the present crisis point. Finally, the author proposes principles and actions deeply rooted in his Christian ethos that would allow mankind to restore and reinvigorate its relationship with nature.

Jde o hypotetický, posmrtný rozhovor, v němž Luis Bunuel (1900–1983) sice promlouvá ze záhrobí, nicméně velmi autenticky: hovoří o filmu, o surrealismu, o osobním i veřejném životě. Množství dosud neznámých vzpomínek a epizodických příběhů představuje Bunuela jako umělce i člověka, odkrývá způsob jeho uvažování, vyzdvihuje jeho smysl pro humor. Kniha nabízí poučený vhled do zákulisí filmového umění, ale tím, že je koncipována v podobě rozhovoru, dostává i zcela intimní rozměr. Poutavě napsaný text vykresluje informačně bohatý, fundovaný portrét Luise Bunuela, osobnosti, jež se řadí do světového kánonu filmu.

As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection. A summation of a spectacular career, this extensive Doisneau collection includes all his best-loved images from Paris alongside many lesser-known compositions which equally rejoice in “the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.” The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in Doisneau’s thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures.Through the images, we are transported to the grim suburbs of Doisneau’s youth; the world of manual labor whose nobility he so admired; and to the studios of the many groundbreaking artists that Doisneau captured in moments of reflection and creativity. A number of color shots of the transformed suburbs of Doisneau’s childhood reveal a different, more critical eye to the master photographer.

In 1972, David Ackles’s third album, American Gothic, was released to a flurry of press plaudits declaring it to be ‘the Sgt Pepper of folk’ and one of the greatest records ever made. Yet the album, like its two predecessors, failed to sell, and after one more record, its creator simply vanished. He found work, raised a family, and died a couple of decades later, having never made another record.Today, Ackles’s music is largely consigned to the streaming netherworld. It is yet to be properly repackaged and reappraised, and he remains largely unknown. But there is no middle ground. You either love him or you’ve never heard of him. His admirers range from Black Flag’s Greg Ginn to indie polymath Jim O’Rourke to Genesis drummer turned platinum-selling solo artist Phil Collins. In 2003, when Elvis Costello interviewed Elton John for the first episode of his television show Spectacle, the two spoke at some length, and with palpable respect, about Ackles’s great talent, before performing a duet of his ‘Down River’—the same song Collins had selected for Desert Island Discs a decade earlier.David Ackles did not make rock’n’roll music, and Down River is not a rock’n’roll story.

Anyone interested in the real London needs to read this. - Andrew MarrNo city can survive without water, and lots of it. Today we take the stuff for granted: turn a tap and it gushes out. But it wasn''t always so. For centuries London, one of the largest and richest cities in the world, struggled to supply its citizens with reliable, clean water. The Mercenary River tells the story of that struggle from the middle ages to the present day. Based on new research, it tells a tale of remarkable technological, scientific and organisational breakthroughs; but also a story of greed and complacency, high finance and low politics. Among the breakthroughs was the picturesque New River, neither new nor a river but a state of the art aqueduct completed in 1613 and still part of London''s water supply: the company that built it was one of the very first modern business corporations, and also one of the most profitable. London water companies were early adopters of steam power for their pumps. And Chelsea Waterworks was the first in the world to filter the water it supplied its customers: the same technique is still used to purify two-thirds of London''s drinking ...

In River Life and the Upspring of Nature Naveeda Khan examines the relationship between nature and culture through the study of the everyday existence of chauras, the people who live on the chars (sandbars) within the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. Nature is a primary force at play within this existence as chauras live itinerantly and in flux with the ever-changing river flows; where land is here today and gone tomorrow, the quality of life itself is intertwined with this mutability. Given this centrality of nature to chaura life, Khan contends that we must think of nature not simply as the physical landscape and the plants and animals that live within it but as that which exists within the social and at the level of cognition, the unconscious, intuition, memory, embodiment, and symbolization. By showing how the alluvial flood plains configure chaura life, Khan shows how nature can both give rise to and inhabit social, political, and spiritual forms of life.
