So this is permanence, edited by Jon Savage with a foreword by Deborah Curtis, presents the intensely personal writings of one of the most enigmatic and influential songwriters and performers of the late twentieth century, Joy Division''s Ian Curtis. The songs of Joy Division, infused with the energy of punk but steeped in a resigned longing, were born of Manchester in the late seventies - a once flourishing industrial city in decline. They were the songs too of Ian Curtis''s inner tragedies, as he battled depression, epilepsy and debilitating stage fright. Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, on the eve of the band''s first American tour. Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile pages of Ian''s notebooks, which throw his highly emotive lyrics into fascinating relief and cast light on the creative process of this singularly poetic songwriter.

Osobná spoveď mladej židovky o jej úniku z náboženskej sekty. Satmárska sekta, spoločenstvo odštiepené od chasidského judaizmu, ľudí zvonka láka svojím tajomnom. Deborah Feldmanová vo svojich memoároch odhaľuje, ako sa žije v osídlach náboženských tradícií, vo svete, ktorý si mlčanie a utrpenie cení viac než slobodu jednotlivca. Deborah vyrastala vo svete, kde sa všetko riadi podľa neúprosných pravidiel a zvykov, ktoré rozhodujú o všetkom, počnúc tým, čo si smie obliecť, s kým sa smie rozprávať, až po to, čo smie a nesmie čítať. Aj napriek týmto obmedzeniam z nej vyrástla nezávislá mladá žena, potajomky hltajúca príbehy silných literárnych hrdiniek Jane Austenovej a Louisy May Alcottovej, ktoré jej pomohli vytvárať si predstavu iného spôsobu života. Už ako tínedžerka sa ocitla v sexuálne i emocionálne nefunkčnom manželstve s mužom, ktorého takmer nepoznala. Jej vnútorné napätie medzi nenaplnenými túžbami a povinnosťou žiť tak, ako sa na vzornú židovku patrí, vyvrcholilo v momente, keď sa ako devätnásťročná stala matkou. Vtedy si naplno uvedomila, že - bez ohľadu na prekážky - kvôli sebe a svojmu synovi musí uniknúť. "Strhujúci príbeh odvážnej hrdinky... Neortodoxná je trýznivá, no povznášajúca. - Jeannette Wallsová, autorka knižného hitu Sklený zámok "Neodolateľné čítanie! Neortodoxná je jedinečným príbehom o dospievaní, ktorý osloví ...

From the child born in South Africa, to her teenage years in Britain, to her travels across the world as a young woman, each page is a beautiful, tender composition of the questioning self: a portrait of Deborah Levy’s writing life and intellectual vitality in all of its dimensions.

Now a Netflix original series! Unorthodox is the bestselling memoir of a young Jewish woman's escape from a religious sect, in the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel and Carolyn Jessop's Escape, featuring a new epilogue by the author. As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah's desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path-for herself and her son-to happiness and freedom.

Freedom and equality are the watchwords of American democracy. But like justice, freedom and equality are meaningless when there is no corresponding practical application of the ideals they represent. Physical, bodily liberty is fundamental to every American’s personal sovereignty. And yet, millions of Americans—including author Deborah Plant’s brother, whose life sentence at Angola Prison reveals a shocking current parallel to her academic work on the history of slavery in America—are deprived of these basic freedoms every day. In her studies of Zora Neale Hurston, Deborah Plant became fascinated by Hurston’s explanation for the atrocities of the international slave trade. In her memoir, Dust Tracks on a Road, Hurston wrote: “But the inescapable fact that stuck in my craw, was: my people had sold me and the white people had bought me. . . .

This expert guide to competitive ultra-distance cycling is all riders need to cycle a very long way, fast.Ultra-distance events are among some of the greatest challenges a cyclist can face, with riders spending hundreds of miles in the saddle over a 24-hour period, battling the elements and overcoming both physical and mental hardships.What was once elite is now commonplace, and today thousands of dedicated riders cycle up to and over 100 miles on ultra-distance rides every week. To add to this, the increasing profile of major events such as Race Across of America (RAAM), Race Across the Alps (RATA) and Ultracycling Dolomitica means that many more riders are being drawn to the challenge of ‘non-stop’ endurance cycling.Ultra-Distance Cycling is the first mainstream book to offer practical, authoritative guidance to cyclists looking to step-up to long-distance endurance events, as well as expert advice to established competitors seeking a competitive advantage.Written by a leading sports scientist and a record-breaking ultra-distance cyclist, this unique book is both science and experience based, offering practical and performance-enhancing insights on a wide range of areas.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law. In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history. Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with this unflinching guide to entrepreneurship, offering unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback and learn ...

Kdyby se vás někdo zeptal, jaká je vaše sestra, co byste odpověděli? Je hodná, nebo zlá? Úplně jiná než vy? Podobně protikladné jsou i hrdinky románu Sestry od americké autorky Curtis Sittenfeldové. Jedna racionální, druhá iracionální, jedna tuctově konvenční, druhá odvážně volnomyšlenkářská, jedna úzkostlivě opatrná, druhá nezodpovědně ztřeštěná, to jsou sestry Kate a Violet, a přestože jsou to jednovaječná dvojčata, jsou jako den a noc. Kdysi měly něco společného, schopnost předvídat budoucnost, jejich okolí je však za to nemilosrdně odsoudilo k životu na okraji. To jejich cesty na začátku dospělosti rozdělilo. Kate vede běžný život matky dvou malých dětí, ale každou chvíli v něm probleskují temné ozvěny minulosti, zato její sestra Violet věří, že má "vyšší poslání". Po překvapivém, třebaže slabém zemětřesení oznámí Violet médiím, že St. Louis brzo zasáhne ničivé zemětřesení. Její zpráva spustí mediální lavinu a odstartuje řetěz událostí, které vyústí v zemětřesení, jaké nikdo nečekal. Psychologická sonda do vztahu dvou sester, které se pokoušejí každá po svém vyrovnat s traumatickými zážitky z dětství, nepostrádá spád, vtip a ironii, o překvapivé zvraty není nouze. I na konci zůstává mnoho otázek pro čtenáře nezodpovězeno: Mají sestry skutečný dar vidět do budoucnosti, nebo jen výjimečně vyvinutý pozorovací talent a empatii? ...
