Kniha roku časopisu EconomistPodle deníku Washington Post jedna z 50 nejlepších knih literatury faktu v roce 2024Žádnou jinou zemi nezasáhlo 11. září 2001 tak intenzivně jako Afghánistán.Afghánci okusili příslib svobody, demokracie a bezpečí, o jehož smysl mezi sebou bojovali, jen aby nakonec byli svědky jeho zhroucení. Sune Engel Rasmussen, korespondent deníku Wall Street Journal, vychází ve své knize ze zkušeností, které nasbíral za více než deset let zpravodajského působení v Afghánistánu. Příběh této země vypráví z neotřelého úhlu pohledu: očima nově zrovnoprávněných žen, úspěšných podnikatelů, zatvrzelých povstalců i opuštěných spojenců Západu. Díky důvěrným rozhovorům i s mnoha dalšími lidmi nabízí zasvěcený pohled na společenský vývoj v zemi zrazené Západem i Tálibánem.„Rasmussen kombinuje sociální dějiny s důsledným a věcným zpravodajstvím... Jeho schopnost ponořit se do života protagonistů dodává knize pocit románu... Břitké. Vynikající.“Martha Anne Tollová, Washington Post

Twenty Years After (1845), the sequel to The Three Musketeers, is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure.Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.In his Introduction to this edition David Coward sets both the author and his exciting tale in their historical and cultural contexts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

The third edition of the IPA Manual, The Integrated Performance Assessment: Twenty Years and Counting, builds upon the original framework presented to guide instructors in designing and implementing this cutting-edge assessment into their world language classrooms. Informed by the findings of research conducted on the IPA since 2013, this edition describes the potential of the IPA as a vehicle for enacting instruction and assessment for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world language classroom at all levels of instruction. The interpretive comprehension guide has been expanded into three separate templates, each of which addresses a specific modality—interpretive viewing, interpretive listening, interpretive reading. Revised rubrics with several new criteria, together with accompanying tools, assist instructors in more easily rating learner performance across the three modes of communication. A new dedicated chapter articulates the role of the IPA at the post-secondary level in bridging the traditional divide between language and literature. Finally, a new set of model IPAs created by instructors who have implemented the assessment across proficiency levels and languages pro

With an Introduction by A. M. de Medeiros, University of Kent at Canterbury.A year after the publication of The Three Musketeers,/em>, Alexandre Dumas produced a sequel worthy in every respect of the original. In Twenty Years After the much beloved D''Artaganan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis reunite to fight the forces of evil. In the original novel they defeated Milady, a formidable foe; now they need to face her vengeful son Mordaunt, as well as countering the machinations of the sinister Cardinal Mazarin.Their adventures also take them to England, where Cromwell is about to topple Charles I. Meanwhile, they must overcome the obstacles which the passing of time has placed between them. Rediscovering strength in unity, they fight for Queen and country. The Musketeer novels were a huge success in Dumas'' own lifetime, and have lost none of their original appeal. Translated into many languages and adapted for cinema and television, they have helped to make Dumas arguably the most successful exporter of French culture to the wider world.Our edition is based on the William Robson translation first published by Routledge in 1856.

Maurice O''Sullivan was born on the Great Blasket in 1904, and ''Twenty Years A-Growing'' tells the story of his youth and of a way of life which belonged to the Middle Ages. He wrote for his own pleasure and for the entertainment of his friends, without any thought of a wider public; his style is derived from folk-tales which he heard from his grandfather and sharpened by his own lively imagination. The Blasket Islands are three miles off Irelands Dingle Peninsula. Until their evacuation just after the Second World War, the lives of the 150 or so Blasket Islanders had remained unchanged for centuries. A rich oral tradition of story-telling, poetry, and folktales kept alive the legends and history of the islands, and has made their literature famous throughout the world. The 7 Blasket Island books published by OUP contain memoirs and reminiscences from within this literary tradition, evoking a way of life which has now vanished.

''A tour de force about post-war Britain which delights and illuminates on every page.'' David KynastonThe first part of Matthew Engel''s sweeping social history of modern Britain during the reign of Elizabeth II.She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, Winston Churchill was prime minister, sweets were rationed, mums stayed at home and kids played on bombsites. In the seventy years that followed everything changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation with which she became synonymous.While the Queen is the motif for this book, the story Engel tells is not about her - it is primarily about the British. Through original research, interviews with people who were there and his own memories of the time, Matthew Engel traces the transformation of life in Britain as never before.Beginning with the death of King George VI and ending on the eve of Margaret Thatcher''s election, Engel not only covers all the major historical events but also explores everyday life - from the food we ate and where we shopped, to what we watched on television and the newspapers we read.

England, says Matthew Engel, is the most complicated place in the world. And, as he travels through each of the historic English counties, he discovers that''s just the start of it. Every county is fascinating, the product of a millennium or more of history: still a unique slice of a nation that has not quite lost its ancient diversity.He finds the well-dressers of Derbyshire and the pyromaniacs of Sussex; the Hindus and huntsmen of Leicestershire; the goddess-worshippers of Somerset. He tracks down the real Lancashire, hedonistic Essex, and the most mysterious house in Middlesex. In Durham he goes straight from choral evensong to the dog track. As he seeks out the essence of each county - from Yorkshire''s broad acres to the microdot of Rutland - Engel always finds the unexpected .Engel''s England is a totally original look at a confused country: a guidebook for people who don''t think they need a guidebook.

For readers touched by Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air and anyone with a life-threatening illness seeking healing of body, mind, and spirit, a fellow patient shares her journey of choosing to have the best day of her life by working as though she will live and living every moment as though she might die.Waking to the stunning realization she had cancer, Jocelyn Rasmussen’s first thought was that she needed a miracle. Her second thought was that she didn’t want to die with any unspent love or grace inside her. Guided by this principle, she entered treatment with faith that she could accept any outcome—from a complete remission to death. As Rasmussen underwent chemotherapy and radiation, she plunged into the mysteries and certainties of life and death. All of creation, nature and humanity, became fodder for her reflections about healing, time, hope, dreaming, and loving. The deeper she went, the more she realized she was already living the miracle she’d asked for. It was being revealed in every sacred moment of her life—she simply hadn’t always recognized it. Life, she discovered, was radiant with the light of wisdom, the strong and gentle touch of caregiving, the gratitude for another breath, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Strikingly few Americans know who wrote the Constitution. Even fewer know that he was a peg-legged ladies’ man with a wicked sense of humor, a staunch opponent of slavery, and an unabashed elitist. Gouverneur Morris, who has been described as “the most colorful man in North America” at the time of the founding, was a dominant figure at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. In fact, he spoke more often, proposed more motions, and had more motions adopted than any other delegate. He also put the Constitution into its final form, choosing the arrangement and much of the wording of its provisions, not to mention composing the famous preamble (“We the people of the United States . . .”) nearly from scratch. The Constitution’s Penman is the first book to explore the constitutional vision of this fascinating, neglected, and influential American.As Dennis Rasmussen deftly shows, some aspects of Morris’s political thought were intriguingly idiosyncratic, such as his argument that the Senate should be an aristocratic body whose members would serve life terms without pay. Other aspects of his vision for America’s constitutional order, however, were astoundingly prescient. Morris saw as clearly as any of the framers the need for a powerful ...

Britain gave railways to the world, yet its own network is the dearest (definitely) and the worst (probably) in Western Europe. Trains are deeply embedded in the national psyche and folklore - yet it is considered uncool to care about them. For Matthew Engel the railway system is the ultimate expression of Britishness. It represents all the nation''s ingenuity, incompetence, nostalgia, corruption, humour, capacity for suffering and even sexual repression. To uncover its mysteries, Engel has travelled the system from Penzance to Thurso, exploring its history and talking to people from politicians to platform staff. Along the way Engel (''half-John Betjeman, half-Victor Meldrew'') finds the most charmingly bizarre train in Britain, the most beautiful branch line, the rudest railwayman, and - after a quest lasting decades - an Individual Pot of Strawberry Jam. Eleven Minutes Late is both a polemic and a paean, and it is also very funny.

Grónsko-dánský polárník a spisovatel Knud Rasmussen získal většinu materiálu ke své prvotině Noví lidé na Dánské literární expedici do Grónska v letech 1902-1904 z Upernaviku přes Melvillovu zátoku k mysu York v severozápadním Grónsku. Kniha vyšla v roce 1905 s ilustracemi Haralda Moltkeho. Kromě cenných etnografických postřehů se Rasmussenovi podařilo zapsat a přeložit do dánštiny mýty a pověsti izolovaných polárních Inuitů, civilizací nedotčených nových lidí, kteří v dnešní době tvoří pouze necelá dvě procenta grónské populace. Kniha nemá jednotnou formu, ale je velmi sugestivní. Je to cestopis, který obsahuje také záznamy pověstí, deníkové zápisky, obecné úvahy o životě Inuitů a jejich příběhy, různé literární postřehy a podrobné vysvětlení životního názoru Inuitů.Vydání knihy podpořila Dánská umělecká rada.

The many mass protests that have taken place since 2011 have been characterised by an unmistakable need to challenge, overthrow and destroy the prevailing political representations without proposing new ones. The protests are not concerned with replacing the current government or leader with others, and thus getting a better version of what we already have. Instead, they refuse all leaders, including the most critical opposition leaders: these protests are about dismantling the need for leaders. More and more people are coming to the view that it is not possible to manage the many crises within the framework of the political institutions we have today. The new protests are political acts that are neither class struggle nor the establishment of an opposition to those in power. Rasmussen argues that we should understand these protests as the emergence of a new kind of revolutionary action that is as much an anthropological as a political transformation: it is an attempt to break free from all the traditional notions of how the social context that we call society and the nation-state is organised.

Are we tired of hearing that fall is a season, sick of being offered fries and told about the latest movie? Yeah. Have we noticed the sly interpolation of Americanisms into our everyday speech? You betcha. And are we outraged? Hell, yes. But do we do anything? Too much hassle. Until now.In That''s The Way It Crumbles Matthew Engel presents a call to arms against the linguistic impoverishment that happens when one language dominates another. With dismay and wry amusement, he traces the American invasion of our language from the early days of the New World, via the influence of Edison, the dance hall and the talkies, right up to the Apple and Microsoft-dominated present day, and explores the fate of other languages trying to fend off linguistic takeover bids. It is not the Americans'' fault, more the result of their talent for innovation and our own indifference.He explains how America''s cultural supremacy affects British gestures, celebrations and way of life, and how every paragraph and conversation includes words the British no longer even think of as Americanisms.
