Jack Ryan: V utajení (BLU-RAY)
Blu-ray HD film Jack Ryan: V utajení [Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, 2014]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Hrají: Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner. Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají. Když zachytí nestandardní operaci provedenou ruským finančním gigantem, pošle ho jeho řídící důstojník (Kevin Costner) do Moskvy, aby na místě zjistil, co se děje. Jack se hned po příletu musí proměnit z finančního úředníka v akčního hrdinu se vším všudy, protože jeho přítomnost v ruské metropoli není vítaná a jeho původně přátelský průvodce mu to dá dost jasně najevo tím, že se ho pokusí zlikvidovat. První kolo Jack přežije a postoupí do druhého – k setkání s oligarchou Viktorem Čerevinem (Kenneth Branagh), který osnuje plán, jenž může zásadně otřást světovou stabilitou. Zdánlivě má k dispozici všechny trumfy, včetně Jackovy ženy, která se impulzivně rozhodla manžela na moskevské služebce překvapit.

DVD film Jack Ryan: V utajení [2014]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Jack Ryan tajně pracuje pro CIA. Když odhalí nebezpečný plán ruského oligarchy, čeká ho smrtelná mise v Moskvě. Zachrání svět i manželku? Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají. Když zachytí nestandardní operaci provedenou ruským finančním gigantem, pošle ho jeho řídící důstojník (Kevin Costner) do Moskvy, aby na místě zjistil, co se děje. Jack se hned po příletu musí proměnit z finančního úředníka v akčního hrdinu se vším všudy, protože jeho přítomnost v ruské metropoli není vítaná a jeho původně přátelský průvodce mu to dá dost jasně najevo tím, že se ho pokusí zlikvidovat.

A Slanting of the Sun: Stories - Donal Ryan
From the twice Man Booker longlisted author of From a Low and Quiet Sea Donal Ryan, one of our most remarkable writers, has produced a book of short stories of such visceral power that they hit you in the solar plexus. He deals with the dark side of modern Irish life and produces sentences of titanic impact. IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAYAn old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.Donal Ryan s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings._________ Donal Ryan is a heartbreaker, his quicksilver prose laced with ... wistful rhythms ... These breathtaking stories explore human love against an uneasy landscape of violence and desperation... Donal finds hope in dark corners. DAILY MAIL Donal Ryan is a master of the magnetic first line ... His faithful subject is rural despair; the poetry of adversity, the baffling fortitude of intrinsically decent people ... This collection shows Ryan adding his own elastic yet distinctive voice to O Connor s impeccable tradition. GUARDIAN

On Politics - Alan Ryan
A magisterial, one-volume history of political thought from Herodotus to the present, Ancient Athens to modern democracy - from author and professor Alan RyanThis is a book about the answers that historians, philosophers, theologians, practising politicians and would-be revolutionaries have given to one question: how should human beings best govern themselves? Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today s uncertain world.ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Reviews of On Politics: An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers ... Through Ryan [they] speak directly to the present Mark Mazower, Prospect Ryan s book is a magnificent piece of work, clear (even when the ideas he s exploring are obscure) and engaging (even when the theory in the original is forbidding) ... anyone remotely interested in political theory will profit from reading or dipping into Ryan s On Politics, whether this is their first acquaintance with the canon of political theory or whether they have been Hobbing and Locking for decades ... It s a remarkable experience Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books Ambitiously and elegantly covers two and a half millennia of political thinking ... despite covering huge intellectual terrain, [On Politics] a delight both when it explores detail and also when it draws conclusions of a broader perspective Justin Champion, BBC History Magazine On Politics is crammed with smart observations and wise advice John Keane, Financial Times An impressive achievement Economist
