The first joint biography of the Duke and Duchess of York and the first full biography of either of them, by renowned royal biographer and literary agent, Andrew Lownie.Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken before, the book traces the lives of the late Queen’s second son and his ex-wife through their childhoods, courtship, marriage, divorce, careers, and royal and charitable activities.Still living in the same house, they claim to be ‘the happiest divorced couple in the world’. The book investigates the reality of their relationship and their love lives. It charts Andrew’s record in the Falklands, his business activities and reveals details of how the couple have been able financially to sustain their extravagant lifestyles. It also recounts the full story of the Yorks’ links with Jeffrey Epstein.Chronicling their lives in parallel, the picture that emerges is of a spoilt prince unable to connect and a duchess pushed by her insecurities into a desperate need to maintain the attention her ‘royal’ status brought. Rigorously researched and packed full of revelations, this is eye-watering biography at its best.

Reginald Pole lived through the reigns of three Tudor monarchs, yet is little known to most lovers of Tudor history. This book brings to life a man who became a cardinal and almost Pope; who so angered Henry VIII that a price was set on his head and attempts were made to kill him; and who was even once suggested as a prospective husband for Mary Tudor and before holding her hand during her short-lived and ultimately tragic reign. He and Mary, paired in the minds of many during their lives, died on the same day.Who was Pole? Was he a man who lacked conviction in his beliefs, as some say? Was he a heretic as one Pope denounced him? Or was he simply a man who tried to do his best, whatever the cost to both his country and to his family?Set against the background of a tumultuous half-century in England’s history, The King’s Traitor answers these questions and is a must read for those interested in the Tudor period.

In this selection of tales by the master folklorist Andrew Lang, the reader is taken into the romantic world of the gallant Knights of the Round Table and their courageous and chivalrous deeds, fair maidens, castles steeped in history, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the tragic love of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot for Guinevere, and Tristan for Iseult.The Arthurian legends are the most potent of the thrilling and mist-enshrouded tales of adventure to be passed down from pre-recorded history, and they have as much appeal today as they did in the age of the troubadours.

This is the true story of the Englishman allegedly freed from a French prison after meeting John Amery, the treacherous son of a Cabinet minister, and sent back to Britain to spy – only to be caught, prosecuted and hanged as a traitor.In November 1943, with the Second World War at its height, a fifty-eight-year-old London-born man claiming to be a refugee from the Nazis arrived by flying boat at Poole Harbour. His name was Oswald John Job and he said he had escaped from internment by the Germans in Paris, then fled to Spain. But hidden inside his keys and razor was invisible ink, and on him he carried a jewelled tiepin and a ring with eighteen diamonds sent by the Germans as payment to an agent in London. What Job did not know was that this man was a double agent, working for MI5.Within four months Job would be hanged as a traitor. He claimed to the end that he had accepted the German offer purely to get back to Britain and never intended to spy. As an English traitor who was caught and executed, Job is a fascinating figure in the story of Second World War intelligence and counter-intelligence. Utilising archives in both Britain and France, Britain’s Forgotten Traitor is a fresh look at treachery and secret agents. This ‘spy’ always claimed to have lied simply in order to come home. Was he telling the truth?

Daily Express"Robert Verkaik''s best book yet, a testament to his investigative skills, journalistic nous for a compelling story, and impressive understanding of the spy world."

FBI má ovšem eso v rukávu – agentku Jessicu Blackwoodovou, bývalou nadanou kouzelnici z proslulé dynastie iluzionistů, která přednedávnem vyřešila případ tajemného Čaroděje a která díky svému nadání i zkušenostem dokáže rozpoznat, když věci nejsou takové, jaké se zdají být.

Audiokniha: Agentka Jessica Blackwoodová vyřešila už dva velké případy a jako vycházející hvězda FBI se stále musí vyrovnávat se svou nekonvenční minulostí iluzionistky. Pravidelně se teď také radí se svým excentrickým dědečkem, někdejším skvělým kouzelníkem, jehož vnímá jako svého učitele, přestože ho kdysi nemohla vystát. Zničehonic se ovšem rutinní sledovačka změní v drama a Jessica musí bojovat o život, když se na místě objeví vyšinutá žena s dítětem v náručí a vyhrožuje, že ho zabije. Téhož dne se krátce po silném zemětřesení, které zasáhne východní pobřeží, začne po internetu šířit podivné video, na němž fyzik Peter Devon, nositel Nobelovy ceny, který už je však osm let po smrti, předpovídá místo i datum zemětřesení. A nedlouho poté je nalezena mrtvola neznámé ženy, která popisem odpovídá útočnici, s níž se Jessica střetla. Vyšetřování série zdánlivě nesouvisejících, ale stejně tak bizarních a temných zločinů zavede Jessicu do coloradské pouště a do vísky, po níž se jednoduše slehla zem, a mladá agentka zjišťuje, že se bude muset popasovat s něčím chmurnějším a mocnějším, než by kdokoliv čekal. S něčím tak zvráceným, že za tím může stát jen jediný člověk – Čaroděj.

'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the ColdAmbassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted. Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo. An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign. Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard. Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

Ide o jednu z najdôležitejších diskusií v súčasnej cirkvi. A najkontroverznejších. Andrew Marin do nej vnáša svieži, vľúdny a novátorský hlas. Nevníma túto tému len ako nejakú pálčivú „otázku“ – vidí za ňou tvár, priateľa, Božie dieťa. Vidí za ňou Ježiša, ktorého láska je pre mnohých ťažko uchopiteľná, pretože u jeho nasledovníkov sa stretli s niečím iným.Andrew nám pripomína, že či už sme ladení konzervatívne alebo liberálne, môžeme mať skvelé myšlienky, a predsa byť krutí a samospravodliví. To, že sme kresťania, však ľudia nespoznajú podľa toho, čo citujeme, ale podľa našej lásky.Na konci knihy vás Andrew nebude žiadať, aby ste súhlasili s jeho názormi na gejskú a lesbickú orientáciu alebo životný štýl. Vlastne vás nezahrnie ani množstvom polemických názorov. Pokúsi sa pomôcť vám pochopiť, čo sa naučil počúvaním s otvoreným a chápavým srdcom voči lesbám a gejom. A tiež sa pokúsi pomôcť vám reagovať na gejov a lesby vo vašom svete zrelšie a chápavejšie. Na záver vás požiada, aby ste sa zhodli na jednej hlavnej veci: že pre skutočných Ježišových nasledovníkov je jedinou správnou cestou orientácia a životný štýl lásky.Brian McLarenAndrew Marin je prezidentom a zakladateľom The Marin Foundation. Je ženatý, má dve deti. Dvanásť rokov žil v časti Chicaga známej ako Boystown (dnes Northalsted), kde žije veľa LGBT+ ľudí. Dnes žije vo Washingtone, D.C. a venuje sa poradenstvu.

In that case, Andrew Hallam has you covered. He profiles several low-cost countries that are popular with expats. He explains what countries are great for Global Nomads and for retirees looking for tax breaks, safety, solid health care systems and a low-cost, enjoyable standard of living. Millionaire Expat (3rd edition) is an entertaining guide, showing readers how to maximize their money and their life satisfaction based on simple, smart investing and their choice of retirement destination. Author Andrew Hallam was a high school teacher who built a million-dollar portfolio—on a teacher's salary. He knows how everyday people can achieve success in the market. In Millionaire Expat, he tailors his best advice to the unique needs of those living overseas to give you the targeted, real-world guidance you need.

In Yorkshire: There and Back, Andrew Martin celebrates Britain''s most charismatic county, looking back at the Yorkshire of his 1970s childhood and as it is today.Journeying to every historic corner, Martin writes affectionally about its past, present and peculiarities. York is an evolving city of chocolate, trains, pubs and tourists. Scarborough should be viewed as the posh place it once was, with surprising secrets pertaining to Adolf Hitler and the sea. Leeds is seen as the ''hard'' town with its party goers and late-night provocateurs, but its indoor market never fails to offer a sense of quintessential Yorkshireness on a rainy Saturday afternoon, with milky tea served in beakers and the Leeds United result coming through by osmosis. And the Moors and Dales continue to boast beauty and danger alike.Effortlessly entertaining and wonderfully detailed, Yorkshire: There and Back is a memoir, guide, and all-round appreciation of ''God''s own county''.Praise for Andrew Martin''There is no one else who is writing like Andrew Martin today...unique and important'' Guardian''Iconoclastic, entertaining and often devastatingly witty'' Barry Forshaw, Independent''He can stop you in your tracks with a well-turned phrase'' Sunday Times''A genuinely funny writer...also a daring one'' The Times

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Andrew Klavan explores how artists'' imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world."Andrew Klavan''s book illuminates even as it explores the deepest darkness, finding truth and beauty in art born of unflinching confrontations with evil."--Daniel McCarthy, editor-in-chief, Modern AgeIn his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history--including the first murder, Cain''s killing of his brother, Abel--and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.To make beauty out of the world as it is--shot through with evil and injustice and suffering--is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God''s ability to redeem it all.
