Twelfth Night (Collins Classics) - William Shakespeare

A comedic romance of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night begins with a shipwreck, splitting up Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian. Alone in a strange land, Viola disguises herself as a male servant, Cesario, in order to work for the Duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but it is Cesario that Olivia falls for. A farcical tale of misplaced love, confusion, gender-swapping and aspiration, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's best-loved and inventive comedies.

Both Olivia and Orsino are attracted to Viola, who is disguised as a young man; and Viola’s brother, Sebastian, finds that he is loved not only by Antonio but also by Olivia.Meanwhile, in the comic sub-plot, Sir Toby Belch and his companions outwit the vain Malvolio, who is ludicrously humiliated.

Night Life - John Lewis-Stempel

Walk through Britain’s wild landscapes after dark with two-time winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, John Lewis-Stempel. ‘Britain’s finest living nature writer’The TimesAt night the senses become reordered. Hearing, touch, smell are privileged over vision. It is after dark that we humans become more sensitive to nature, more ‘animal’. But the lights of the modern world are obliterating any meaningful connection to the night. We have lost touch with its wonders as well as its terrors. In this enchanting follow-up to Nightwalking, John Lewis-Stempel once again ventures out into the night to discover the natural world after dark, its rarely seen spectacles and curiosities. There are hares boxing under stars, night jars hunting moths in the summer wood, wintry moons with halos, rock-pool creatures glowing neon under UV light, barley fields shimmering in moonshine …In Night Life, Lewis-Stempel wanders his familiar farmland, and goes further afield too, exploring the Lake District, the Welsh coast, London’s Thames. Everywhere, he shows us why the night is precious, and what it is to be human in the dark.

Richard III. - Poslední dny života a osud jeho DNA - John Ashdown-Hill

Britský bestseller, který roku 2012 vedl k nalezení těla Richarda III., ač podle legend mělo být vhozeno do řeky a zmizet na věky! Richard III. je znám jako jeden z nejkontroverznějších panovníků v anglické historii - díky skvělému dramatu Williama Shakespeara ho máme zafixovaného jako prvotřídního zloducha, schopného kvůli moci zavraždit i děti, a to vlastní synovce. V posledních 50 letech však probíhá mnoho dalších výzkumů, které legendy okolo Richarda III. vyvracejí. Tato kniha zcela nově a unikátním způsobem mapuje posledních 150 dní života Richarda III. Autor volí přístup z pozice pozorovatele před bitvou u Bosworthu, která se stala Richardovi osudnou, tj. očima člověka nezaujatého výsledkem bitvy, a odkrývá se nám tak zcela nový Richard: žádná pasivní oběť mořená výčitkami svědomí a čekající na svou porážku, ale aktivní král vykonávající své běžné denní povinnosti vyplývající z vlády, trochu naivně podceňující ambiciózního Jindřicha Tudora. Přezkoumáno je zde i období po bitvě u Bosworthu, tj. jak bylo zacházeno s Richardovými ostatky, jak probíhal jeho pohřeb a stavba jeho hrobky - jedna legenda za druhou, nánosy, které přinesla následující staletí, to vše se pomalu rozplývá pod přesvědčivými důkazy. Rovněž jsme svědky autorova fascinujícího pátrání po Richardově DNA, kterou úspěšně nalezl "živou a zdravou" přes mnohá pokolení až v daleké Kanadě. Díky ní bylo možné s jistotou identifikovat pozůstatky Richarda III., které byly objeveny roku 2012 na základě údajů uvedených v prvním vydání této knihy. Toto je překlad vydání druhého, již rozšířeného o poznatky z archeologického výzkumu. Autor John Ashdown-Hill byl historikem, členem Královské historické společnosti, Společnosti genealogů a Společnosti Richarda III. Napsal mnoho článků a knih na téma pozdního středověku v Anglii. Věnoval se novým metodám výzkumu a byl oceněn Řádem britského impéria.

Black Box Blues - Ambra Durante

Kniha mladé německé kreslířky a spisovatelky Ambry Durante je zcela originální komiks. Černobílé kresby a texty zachycují na osmdesáti stranách čtvercového formátu děj, který vypovídá o vnitřních stavech a představách mladé dívky trpící depresemi, či, lépe řečeno, moniodepresivními stavy (bipolárně-afektivní poruchou). Jde o téma obecně lidské a pro jeho rozšířenost velmi naléhavé. Ambra Durante obrázky kreslila zprvu sama pro sebe, později složily děj a vytvořily, doplněny texty, příběh. Autorka neužije nikde slovo deprese. To, oč zde jde, je vykreslit naprosto autenticky a naléhavě to, co člověk trpící depresemi prožívá. Co cítí, jaké má představy. Při pohledu zvenčí jde o výjevy děsivé. Přitom vidíme a cítíme, že kresba, kreslení, je pro autorku východiskem z pasti, cestou ke ztvárnění vlastních vnitřních pocitů a k osvobození. Kniha klade velmi naléhavé otázky. Ptá se po kořenech bolesti a smyslu utrpení. Texty z němčiny do češtiny přeložil Tomáš Kafka, současný český velvyslanec ve Spolkové republice Německo. Jde o knihu nejen působivou a výtvarně zdařilou, ale i o svazek velmi potřebný a naléhavý. Kniha jedinečným způsobem vypovídá o bolesti, která je společná všem lidem: Němcům i Čechům, mladým i starým, ukazuje, co máme společného, a především - oslovuje velmi mladou čtenářskou generaci a vede ji ke vzájemnému porozumění; v tom je tato kniha jedinečná. Román Black Box Blues přináší fascinující svědectví dívky, která se statečně potýká s démony nejistoty o sobě samé současně se zamlžením jistot o povaze světa. Zjitřená citlivost mládí nás přivádí k poznání naléhavé problematičnosti, která je lidským údělem. Zjišťujeme, že "není jen černá a bílá. A to mezi nimi nemusí být jen šedivé". Čtenář je hluboce vděčný, že společně s autorkou může vstoupit do jejího vnitřního světa a dotýkat se křehké hranice mezi dospíváním a duševní poruchou. Stačí malá podpora, aby u mladičké Ambry Durante probudila potřebu tvorby, která se stává nástrojem nalézání smyslu a zdrojem síly pokračovat dál. Zjištěním, že "…jediné, co potřebuješ k tomu, aby se ti svět otevřel, je tužka", vzniká dílo nejen jemně krásné, ale také hluboce existenciální a moudré. Pro čtenáře je radostí následovat autorku na její cestě, a to až k překvapivému vyřešení otázky, co udělat s tou "černou věcí", která je bytostným určením každého z nás. Prof. MUDr. Jiří Horáček, Ph.D. (Přednosta Kliniky psychiatrie a lékařské psychologie 3. LF UK)

The Night Manager - John le Carré

In The Night Manager, John le Carre's first post-Cold War novel, an ex-soldier helps British Intelligence penetrate the secret world of ruthless arms dealers. 'Le Carre is the equal of any novelist now writing in English' Guardian 'A marvellously observed relentless tale' Observer At the start of it all, Jonathan Pine is merely the night manager at a luxury hotel. But when a single attempt to pass on information to the British authorities - about an international businessman at the hotel with suspicious dealings - backfires terribly, and people close to Pine begin to die, he commits himself to a battle against powerful forces he cannot begin to imagine. In a chilling tale of corrupt intelligence agencies, billion-dollar price tags and the truth of the brutal arms trade, John le Carre creates a claustrophobic world in which no one can be trusted.

Complete Richard Hannay Stories - John Buchan

Major General Sir Richard Hannay is the fictional secret agent created by writer and diplomat John Buchan, who was himself an Intelligence officer during the First World War. The strong and silent type, combining the dour temperament of the Scot with the stiff upper lip of the Englishman, Hannay is pre-eminent among early spy-thriller heroes. Caught up in the first of these five gripping adventures just before the outbreak of war in 1914, he manages to thwart the enemy's evil plan and solve the mystery of the 'thirty-nine steps'. In Greenmantle, he undertakes a vital mission to prevent jihad in the Islamic Near East. Mr Standfast, set in the decisive months of 1917-18, is the novel in which Hannay, after a life lived 'wholly among men', finally falls in love; later, in The Three Hostages, he finds himself unravelling a kidnapping mystery with his wife's help. In the last adventure, The Island of Sheep, he is called upon to honour an old oath. A shrewd judge of men, he never dehumanises his enemy, and despite sharing some of the racial prejudices of his day, Richard Hannay is a worthy prototype hero of espionage fiction.

John Singer Sargent - Richard Ormond

A comprehensive catalogue of Sargent’s charcoal portraits, capturing high society, professions, and the arts in an era of profound transformation  In comparison with his portraits in oil, John Singer Sargent’s charcoal portraits are relatively little known. In this authoritative new volume, Richard Ormond documents the nearly 700 drawings that make up this distinct strand of Sargent’s oeuvre. These portraits capture the essence of British and American high society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, portraying an elite clientele that includes aristocracy, royalty, politicians, artists, writers, actors, financiers, and philanthropists. Among Sargent’s subjects are such prominent figures as the Astors, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Du Ponts, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Ethel Barrymore, W. B. Yeats, and Winston Churchill.  Though renowned for his paintings of women, these charcoal portraits also reveal Sargent’s interest in depicting athletes across a variety of sports, from cricket and fencing to football and polo. This shift in subject matter from prewar to postwar, along with a sparser style characteristic of his charcoal work, casts new light on Sargent’s depictions of the period’s social landscape.  Surviving letters between Sargent and his patrons, reminiscences recorded in contemporary diaries, and David McKibbin’s extensive correspondence with sitters, both document the portraits and provide a vivid and human picture of the artist at work. Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art

Writer and Occasion in Twelfth-Century Byzantium - Ingela Nilsson

In twelfth-century Constantinople, writers worked on commission for the imperial family or aristocratic patrons. Texts were occasioned by specific events, representing both a link between writer and patron and between literary imagination and empirical reality. This is a study of how one such writer, Constantine Manasses, achieved that aim. Manasses depicted and praised the present by drawing from the rich sources of the Graeco-Roman and Biblical tradition, thus earning commissions from wealthy ''friends'' during a career that spanned more than three decades. While the occasional literature of writers like Manasses has sometimes been seen as ''empty rhetoric'', devoid of literary ambition, this study assumes that writing on command privileges originality and encourages the challenging of conventions. A society like twelfth-century Byzantium, in which occasional writing was central, called for a strong and individual authorial presence, since voice was the primary instrument for a successful career.
