Madeleine Albrightové nebylo ještě ani dvanáct, a už na vlastní oči viděla několik dějinných dramat — nacistickou okupaci rodného Československa, bombardování Londýna, kam se její rodina uchýlila do exilu, vítězství Spojenců ve druhé světové válce, vzestup komunismu a počátek studené války. V Pražské zimě nyní Madeleine Albrightová líčí právě těch bouřlivých dvanáct let. Vychází přitom z někdejších dětských zážitků i ze své politické a akademické erudice, mísí rodinné vzpomínky a písemné dokumenty se záznamy aktérů tehdejšího dění a předkládá čtenářům působivou dějinnou fresku i niterné svědectví. Tyto dva póly jejího vyprávění se neustále doplňují i svářejí: autorka zkoumá minulost z hlediska nadčasových dilemat a zároveň vypráví velice osobní příběh s univerzálním dopadem. Kniha zavede čtenáře z Pražského hradu do londýnských protileteckých krytů, z bezútěšného terezínského ghetta na zasedání předních světových státníků; Madeleine Albrightová se tu zamýšlí nad svým židovským původem, o němž se dozvěděla až ve zralém věku, rozebírá komplikovanou českou historii i nelehká mravní rozhodnutí, s nimiž se musela vyrovnávat generace jejích rodičů. Na základě svědectví současníků ukazuje, jak byly miliony obyčejných lidí vytrženy z rodinného prostředí a ocitly se v rolích exilových vůdců, odbojářů i kolaborantů, obětí i vrahů. Tyto nesmírně složité dějinné události jsou přitom utvářeny pojmy, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Fašista je podle autorky ten, „kdo tvrdí, že mluví jménem celého národa nebo skupiny obyvatel, naprosto ho nezajímají práva ostatních a je ochoten použít k dosažení svých cílů násilí a veškeré další nezbytné prostředky“. V takto širokém pojetí pak pod pojem fašismus autorka zahrnuje i další totalitní hnutí a ideologie. Téměř celé 20. století probíhalo ve znamení střetu demokracie s fašismem, jehož obětí se staly desítky milionů lidí. Po hrůzách druhé světové války se zdálo, že svět už nepřipustí, aby se duchovní dědicové Hitlera a Mussoliniho pokusili o návrat. Madeleine Albrightová vychází ze své dvojí zkušenosti dítěte, jehož život válka silně poznamenala, i výrazné osobnosti světové politiky, jíž se stala během své úctyhodné diplomatické kariéry, a tento optimistický předpoklad zpochybňuje. Dokazuje, že fašismus nejen že přežil 20. století, ale v současnosti představuje daleko vážnější hrozbu pro mír a spravedlnost než kdykoli po roce 1945. Kyvadlo dějin směřující po pádu Berlínské zdi k demokracii se vydává opačným směrem. V čele USA, nejvýznamnější opory svobodného světa, stanul člověk, který rozděluje společnost a otevřeně pohrdá demokratickými institucemi. V řadě zemí světa oslabuje politický střet a posilují extrémy, ať už pravicový nebo levicový. Političtí vůdcové jako Vladimir Putin nebo Kim Čong-un se uchylují k ...

“Inviting and original.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Mohandas Gandhi and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. both shook and changed the world in their quest for peace among all people, but what threads connected these great activists together in their shared goal of social revolution? A lawyer and activist, tiny of stature with giant ideas, in British-ruled India at the beginning of the 20th century. A minister from Georgia with a thunderous voice and hopes for peace at the height of the civil rights movement in America. Born more than a half-century apart, with seemingly little in common except one shared wish, both would go on to be icons of peaceful resistance and human decency. Both preached love for all human beings, regardless of race or religion. Both believed that freedom and justice were won by not one, but many. Both met their ends in the most unpeaceful of ways—assassination. But what led them down the path of peace? How did their experiences parallel...and diverge? Threads of Peace keenly examines and celebrates these extraordinary activists’ lives, the threads that connect them, and the threads of peace they laid throughout the world, for us to pick up, and weave together.

The #1 NYT BESTSELLERA personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world, written by one of America’s most admired public servants, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state.“There is priceless wisdom on every page.” Kirkus Starred reviewA Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, ‘is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.’The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions of innocent people dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright, draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption.Fascism, as Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to international ...

‘A masterly work of profound research and reflection, objective and humane’ Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday TelegraphWhat would have happened if the Nazis had invaded Britain? How would the British people have responded – with resistance or collaboration? In Madeleine Bunting’s pioneering study, we begin to find the answers to this age-old question.Though rarely remembered today, the Nazis occupied the British Channel Islands for much of the Second World War. In piecing together the fragments left behind – from the love affairs between island women and German soldiers, the betrayals and black marketeering, to the individual acts of resistance – Madeleine Bunting has brought this uncomfortable episode of British history into full view with spellbinding clarity.

In 1917—that is, in the midst of the First World War—Madeleine Z. Doty, a feminist, lawyer, prison reformer, peace activist, and journalist, was commissioned by the magazine Good Housekeeping to travel "around the world" to get a view “behind the battle line” of how people on the home front, especially women, were responding to the war. Traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway from China, Doty crossed the border into Russia just days after the Bolshevik Revolution had begun. She meant it literally when she declared in her account of these travels, Behind the Battle Line: Around the World in 1918: “The Bolshevik Revolution had descended on me.”

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Madeleine Blais, the dramatic and colorful story of legendary tennis star and international celebrity, Alice MarbleIn August 1939, Alice Marble graced the cover of Life magazine, photographed by the famed Alfred Eisenstaedt. She was a glamorous worldwide celebrity, having that year won singles, womenÂ’s doubles, and mixed doubles tennis titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open, then an unprecedented feat. Yet today one of AmericaÂ’s greatest female athletes and most charismatic characters is largely forgotten. Queen of the Court places her back on center stage.Born in 1913, Marble grew up in San Francisco; her favorite sport, baseball. Given a tennis racket at age 13, she took to the sport immediately, rising to the top with a powerful, aggressive serve-and-volley style unseen in womenÂ’s tennis. A champion at the height of her fame in the late 1930s, she also designed a clothing line in the off-season and sang as a performer in the Sert Room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York to rave reviews. World War II derailed her amateur tennis career, but her life off the court was, if anything, even more eventful. She wrote a series of short books about famous ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Emperors, shahs, sultans and samurai crave them as symbols of earthly domination. Shamans and priests desire them to evoke the spiritual realm.

For centuries, Palestinian women wrote the stories of their lives and land with a needle and thread. Their embroidery, or tatreez, inspired hundreds of artists who reinterpreted and transformed it into a symbol of Palestinian identity, steadfastness and resistance.Narrative Threads celebrates the immense beauty and significance of Palestinian embroidery in contemporary art. Joanna Barakat documents and features more than 200 works by twenty-four established and emerging artists, who incorporate the motifs and symbolism of tatreez across diverse media – from painting, sculpture and textile to film, photography and street art. While some artists preserve traditional forms, others transform tatreez to explore themes of displacement, resilience and belonging. Together, their works offer a dynamic reflection on Palestinian heritage and identity.With insightful essays by leading art historians Dr Tina Sherwell, Wafa Ghnaim and Rachel Dedman, Narrative Threads reveals the power of Palestinian embroidery as a visual language that recounts the past, connects us to the present and envisions a different, hopeful future.

Audiokniha: Téměř celé 20. století probíhalo ve znamení střetu demokracie s fašismem. Po hrůzách druhé světové války se zdálo, že svět už nepřipustí, aby se duchovní dědicové Hitlera a Mussoliniho pokusili o návrat. Audiokniha přední osobnosti světové diplomacie s českými kořeny, Madeleine Albrightové, v jedinečném podání Táni Fischerové tento optimistický předpoklad zpochybňuje. Kyvadlo dějin směřující po pádu Berlínské zdi k demokracii se vydává opačným směrem. V řadě zemí světa posilují extrémy a objevují se vůdcové s podobnými taktikami, které používali ve dvacátých a třicátých letech fašisté a nacisté. Audiokniha Fašismus - Varování je výzvou k pochopení vážnosti situace, jež je nezbytné k tomu, abychom se vyhnuli opakování tragických chyb minulosti.

In a radical new story about the birth of our species, The Origin of Language argues that it was not hunting, fighting, or tool-making that forced early humans to speak, but the inescapable need to care for our children. Journeying to the dawn of Homo sapiens, evolutionary biologist Madeleine Beekman reveals the “happy accidents” hidden in our molecular biology—DNA, chromosomes, and proteins—that led to one of the most fateful events in the history of life on Earth: our giving birth to babies earlier in their development than our hominid cousins the Neanderthals and Denisovans. Faced with highly dependent infants requiring years of nurturing and protection, early human communities needed to cooperate and coordinate, and it was this unprecedented need for communication that triggered the creation of human language—and changed everything. Infused with cutting-edge science, sharp humour, and insights into the history of biology and its luminaries, Beekman weaves a narrative that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Challenging the traditional theories of male luminaries like Chomksy, Pinker, and Harari, she invites us into the intricate world of molecular biology and its ancient secrets. The Origin of Language is a tour de force by a brilliant biologist on how a culture of cooperation ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts ... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth ... Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn''t done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken over the last five years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything ... Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.''Kate McCann
