Románový životní příběh Američanky Anne Marie Kenny, která v divokých devadesátých letech našla v Praze svůj domov. S doporučením osobností jako Marta Kubišová, Jáchym Topol, Martin Palouš a ilustrací Petra Síse na obálce. Praha v devadesátých letech, mimořádné místo i doba. Studená válka skončila. Berlínská zeď padla. Země sovětského bloku včetně Československa právě získaly svobodu. Byla to opojná atmosféra s otevřenou budoucností. Zažívala ji i Anne Marie Kenny – zpěvačka s českými kořeny, která se tu dala na podnikání. Její životní příběh si nezadá s románem – tragická rána v dětství, zpívání na Champs Élysées v jednadvaceti, umělecká kariéra v Paříži a Nice, koncert v Redutě na pozvání Václava Havla a následná podnikatelská dráha v Praze. Čtenáři se po jejím boku setkají s pozoruhodnými lidmi – s otcem advokátem, o nějž přišla ve dvou letech, česko-americkou matkou, na níž zůstala výchova pěti dětí, s ekonomickým poradcem Françoise Mitterranda, díky němuž se jí otevřely obzory, s kardinálem, který za komunistů zpovídal při mytí výloh, se sekretářkou, jejíž dědeček skončil v jáchymovských lágrech, s fotografem, jehož rodiče se vzali v Terezíně, a v neposlední řadě i s jejím milovaným manželem, válečným hrdinou, a mnoha dalšími. V dekádě po sametové revoluci tu autorka žila a pracovala mezi lidmi, kteří objevovali své místo v nové demokratické společnosti a vyrovnávali se s minulostí za totality – s minulostí, o níž málokdy mluvili. I ona za vnějším úspěchem tajila vnitřní zmatky. Teď bez obalu vypráví o tom, jak ji ničily neřesti a zachraňovaly hudba, um a láska. Jí i lidem kolem ní dávalo sílu jít dál Havlovo poselství, že má cenu budovat občanskou společnost, která je „lidská, mravní, duchovní a kulturní“. Moje píseň pro Čechy je písní lásky, která vzdává hold duchu českého národa, příběhem osobní i společné cesty ke svobodě. Vzpomínkami zpívanými hlasem planoucí umělkyně. „Píseň pro Čechy Anne Marie Kenny je stejného rodu jako moje Modlitba a pevně doufám, že melodický hlas zpěvačky, který z této knihy zaznívá, českého čtenáře nejen zaujme, ale i potěší.“ Marta Kubišová

Anne Marie Allen was fifteen when she was accepted onto a cookery school course that promised real qualifications and a future in the career of her dreams. Seeking a better life, she moved to the calm and peaceful countryside of the west of Ireland. Her happiness was short-lived as it became clear she had been tricked instead into a life of domestic servitude to the members of Opus Dei.Before long she was whisked away to Rome where she signed her life away with vows to serve. What followed were years of misery in slavery, forced celibacy and traumatic physical suffering under an ambitious and tyrannical institution that demanded perfection, humiliation and pain.Her family eventually managed to coerce a visit home where they refused to let her return to the Order, and where they began the long process of deprogramming Anne Marie – a task that has been a life-long struggle. Serve is Anne Marie’s remarkable story of strength and resilience in the face of religious zealotry.

Píše se rok 1916 a dvanáctiletou Kláru se rodiče rozhodnou ukrýt před válkou na anglický venkov k příbuzným. Teta a strýc, jindy tak přátelští a otevření, se k ní najednou staví zády. Neodpovídají na otázky, nevědí, co se stalo s rodiči, nechtějí se s Klárou bavit, nechtějí, aby jim pomáhala, nechtějí, aby tu vůbec byla. Má zůstat v domě a nepřekážet. I přes to Klára brzy zjistí, že její nový domov skrývá svá vlastní tajemství: zamčený pokoj, skrytý klíč, tajemnou postavu hocha, který se objevuje jen v noci. A především zloděje exotického ovoce. Aby Klára odhalila tajemství zahrady, bude se muset postavit pravdě, kterou si nechce přiznat, a válce, na kterou se snaží zoufale zapomenout.Ann-Marie Howell je spisovatelka pro děti a mládež.

The Irish do death differently. Funeral attendance is a solemn duty - but it can also be a big day out, requiring sophisticated crowd control, creative parking solutions and a high-end sound system. Despite having the same basic end-of-life infrastructure as other Western countries, Irish culture handles death with a unique blend of dignified ritual and warm sociability.In Sorry for Your Trouble, Ann Marie Hourihane holds up a mirror to the Irish way of death: the funny bits, the sad bits, and the hard-to-explain bits that tell us so much about who we are. She follows the last weeks of a woman''s life in hospice; she witnesses an embalming; she attends inquests; she talks to people working to prevent suicide; she follows the team of specialists working to locate the remains of people ''disappeared'' by the IRA; and she visits some of Ireland''s most contested graves. She also explores the strange and sometimes surprising histories of Irish death practices, from the traditional wake and ritual lamentations to the busy commerce between anatomists and bodysnatchers. And she goes to funerals, of ordinary and extraordinary people all over the country - including that of her own father. ''I had joined a club,'' she writes, ''the club of people who have lost someone very close to them.'' And then, with her family, she sets about planning a funeral in the middle of a pandemic.Sorry for Your Trouble sheds fresh, wise and witty light on a key pillar of Irish culture: a vast but strangely underexplored subject. Rich, sparkling and eye-opening, it is one of the best books ever written about Irish life.___________________________''A beautiful, insightful reflection on a very, very peculiar country''s approach to the oddest experience of them all'' RYAN TUBRIDY''Hugely moving and illuminating.

From the acclaimed author of Unfinished Business, a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political livesLike much of the world, America is deeply divided over identity, equality, and history. Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughter’s candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future. Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of self-examination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns. She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection. The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long. That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal. The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for anyone who is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision. Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and the change makers of tomorrow.

A brief but engaging look at love. In Love, researcher Anne Marie Pahuus explores the fascinating dimensions of this complicated and alluring feeling. Defining love as a mixture of warm emotions fueled by our wish to be with another person, Pahuus illustrates how love frames and influences our eventful lives, plans, and goals. But we haven't always viewed love in the romantic way that we see it now—the idea of love has changed and evolved throughout history, from Plato to Kierkegaard and Milan Kundera. Love determines our experience of happiness, but it also defines our responsibilities. Pahuus asks provocative questions: How do our attitudes toward love reinforce or subvert traditional ideas about gender, sexuality, and partnership? And how do we experience and value different forms of love, such as romantic, familial, or universal? Tackling these essential questions with humor and candor, Love will help you reframe your relationship with yourself, others, and the world. In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

No Far Shore is a rich exploration of various coastlines across England, Wales, Ireland, Canada and the US, in the form of travel writing, narrative non-fiction, memoir and poetry. In it poet Anne-Marie Fyfe visits the meeting place of land and sea, and takes in the maps, waves, lighthouses, islands, north, maps, journeys, boats and fishermen which mark this changing boundary. She looks too at the work of a number of writers for whom the coast has been influential (and who in some cases have a surprising link to her hometown of Cushenden in Northern Ireland). They include Elizabeth Bishop, Herman Melville, Eavan Boland, Moira O’Neill, Robinson Jeffers, George Mackay Brown, C.P. Cavafy and Louis MacNeice. In addition, Fyfe also travels into her past, and that of her family, and charting her own relationship with a number of coasts and the way that they have shaped her life and those of others. Living next to the sea brings almost as many subjects as the waves falling on to the land, from the quiet ease of fishing to the impact of the shipwreck of the Princess Victoria, from the lyricism of nature poetry to the specialism of morse code and cartography.

A compelling historical murder mystery set amongst the artists in seventeenth-century Paris. For fans of C.J. Sansom and S.J. Parris. ''A rich and achingly beautiful novel'' - Carol McGrath (author of the Daughters of Hastings trilogy) on An Artist in Her Own Right. Paris, 1676. When a body washes up on the banks of the Bièvre river, a young woman finds herself embroiled in an intricate murder case.At first it seems mere coincidence that the dead man was discovered outside the Royal Manufactory of the Gobelins, home to a community of artists and craftsmen. He was not one of them, after all. But Anne-Marie, a sculptor''s wife, soon realises that the victim may well be known within the walls of the Gobelins - and that the killer might be amongst them.With the police apparently disinterested, it is a mystery that is hers alone to solve. Anne-Marie''s investigations will take her from the unsavoury slums of the Ile Notre-Dame to the grand ducal residences of the Place Royale. But who can she truly trust on the streets of Paris?Readers LOVED An Artist in Her Own Right:''A wonderful blend of fact and fiction that I literally read in two sittings''''Alive with action and colour''''The ebb and flow of relationships, between family members and artists, are beautifully conceived and nuanced''''Wonderful imaginative detail''

Audiokniha: KAVÁRNA S BOHATOU TRADICÍ BEZOHLEDNÝ KONKURENT OSUDOVÁ LÁSKA Wiesbaden, rok 1951 Kavárnu U Anděla čekají bouřlivé časy. Hned vedle tradičního podniku rodiny Kochových vzbudí pozornost jistý konkurent se smyslem pro modernost. Zatímco se Hilda zoufale snaží přesvědčit rodiče o tom, že je třeba kavárnu modernizovat, je ohrožena i její těžce vydobytá láska. Se štěstím obou jejích bratrů to není o nic lepší: Wilhelm, obdivovaný ženami, se zaplétá do povrchních milostných hrátek, přičemž jeho srdce touží po ženě, která je pro něho nedosažitelná. A jeho starší bratr August se ke všemu po svém návratu z ruského válečného zajetí zamiluje do mladé Rusky, aniž tuší, že jeho volba hrozí rozštěpit rodinu... Venku svítí zcela nevinně předjarní slunce. Na lavičkách na ulici Warmer Damm posedávají lidé v kabátech a kloboucích a nastavují prvním paprskům tváře pobledlé zimním obdobím. Na záhonech kvetou žluté a bílé krokusy, první tulipány už vystrkují z půdy své lipově zelené hlavičky. Naproti před kavárnou U Krále už dva číšníci skutečně staví stolky a skládací židličky. Hilda je pozdraví pokývnutím hlavy a pomyslí si, že v tomhle březnovém chladnu sotva někdo bude pít kávu venku. Nebo přece jen? Kavárna U Krále, která vznikla před dvěma lety v provizorní budově hned vedle kavárny U Anděla, je Hildě a její rodině trnem v oku.

Contrary to predictions that it would become increasingly redundant in a globalizing world, citizenship is back with a vengeance. The Oxford Handbook of Citizenship brings together leading experts in law, philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, and geography to provide a multidisciplinary, comparative discussion of different dimensions of citizenship: as legal status and political membership; as rights and obligations; as identity and belonging; as civic virtues and practices of engagement; and as a discourse of political and social equality or responsibility for a common good. The contributors engage with some of the oldest normative and substantive quandaries in the literature, dilemmas that have renewed salience in today''s political climate. As well as setting an agenda for future theoretical and empirical explorations, this Handbook explores the state of citizenship today in an accessible and engaging manner that will appeal to a wide academic and non-academic audience. Chapters highlight variations in citizenship regimes practiced in different countries, from immigrant states to ''non-western'' contexts, from settler societies to newly independent states, attentive to both migrants and those who never cross an international border. Topics include the ''selling'' of citizenship, multilevel citizenship, in-between statuses, citizenship laws, post-colonial citizenship, the impact of technological change on citizenship, and other cutting-edge issues. This Handbook is the major reference work for those engaged with citizenship from a legal, political, and cultural perspective. Written by the most knowledgeable senior and emerging scholars in their fields, this comprehensive volume offers state-of-the-art analyses of the main challenges and prospects of citizenship in today''s world of increased migration and globalization. Special emphasis is put on the question of whether inclusive and egalitarian citizenship can provide political legitimacy in a turbulent world of exploding social inequality and resurgent populism.

Engaging Citizenship introduces students to the fundamentals of political science through the lens of citizenship, democracy, and civic engagement. This unique approach aims to help students understand the relevant of political science to their own lives and cultivate the knowledge, skills, values, and habits they need to engage in political life. The text is grounded in three key learning goals: 1) to explore the main subfields of political science, 2) to develop a broad understanding of the U.S. political system within a global context, and 3) to engage with the political process as educated and empowered citizens.The text is divided into four sections-Explaining Statehood, Organizing Political Life, Shaping Participatory Processes, and Challenging the State-to introduce students to the fundamental questions of political science, such as the reasons why citizens join states, the arguments supportive and critical of democracy, and the avenues citizens use to influence state actions. In each section, there are four chapters; each chapter represents one of the four subfields of political science (political theory, comparative politics, American politics, and international relations) and presents its respective theories, concepts, and issues in response to that section''s theme. In this way, the text provides a rich and balanced introduction to all four subfields in conversation with one another.The text is accompanied by a series of online civic engagement activities, providing interactive opportunities for students to engage with the themes discussed in each section. In this way, Engaging Citizenship makes it easy for faculty who wish to create opportunities for hands-on learning about citizenship and civic engagement. These activities enable students to practice the skills of effective citizenship and to familiarize themselves with avenues for participation in their communities.

A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ?stupid? events, festivals and parades. Building a community is perceived to be an important and necessary act to enable resilience against the perceived threats of neoliberal socio-economic life such as isolation, selfishness and loss of community. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain{::}** explores how authoritative knowledge is developed, maintained and deployed by this group as they encounter other ?social projects?, such as the local council planning committee or academic projects researching participation in urban planning.The activists, who call themselves the ?Seething Villagers?, model their community activity on the mythical ancient village of Seething where moral tales of how to work together, love others and be a community are laid out in the Seething Tales. These tales include Seething ?facts? such as the fact that the ancient Mountain of Seething was destroyed by a giant. The assertion of fact is central to the mechanisms of play and the refusal of expertise at the heart of the Seething community. The book also stands as a reflexive critique on anthropological practice, as the author examines their role in mobilising knowledge and speaking on behalf of othersCitizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain is of interest to anthropologists, urban studies scholars, geographers and those interested in the notions of democracy, inclusion, citizenship and anthropological practice.Praise for Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain'[This book's] wider significance is in drawing attention to the practical labour and contested knowledges that are intrinsic to community-building.'

A searing critique of the “freedom” that America offers to the victims of its imperialist machinations of war and occupation  Meaningless Citizenship traces the costs of America’s long-term military involvement around the world by following the forced displacement of Iraqi families, unveiling how Iraqis are doubly displaced: first by the machinery of American imperialism in their native countries and then through a more pernicious war occurring on U.S. soil-the dismantling of the welfare state. Revealing the everyday struggles and barriers that texture the lives of Iraqi families recently resettled to the United States, Sally Wesley Bonet draws from four years of deep involvement in the refugee community of Philadelphia. An education scholar, Bonet’s analysis moves beyond the prevalent tendency to collapse schooling into education. Focusing beyond the public school to other critical institutions, such as public assistance, resettlement programs, and healthcare, she shows how encounters with institutions of the state are an inherently educative process for both refugee youths and adults, teaching about the types of citizenship they are expected to enact and embody while simultaneously shaping them into laboring subjects in service of capitalism. An intimate, in-depth ethnography, Meaningless Citizenship exposes how the veneer of American values-freedom, democracy, human rights-exported to countries like Iraq, disintegrates to uncover what is really beneath: a nation-state that prioritizes the needs of capitalism above the survival and wellbeing of its citizens.

Uncertainties are everywhere. Whether it’s climate change, financial volatility, pandemic outbreaks or new technologies, we don’t know what the future will hold. For many contemporary challenges, navigating uncertainty – where we cannot predict what may happen – is essential and, as the book explores, this is much more than just managing risk. But how is this done, and what can we learn from different contexts about responding to and living with uncertainty? Indeed, what might it mean to live from uncertainty?Drawing on experiences from across the world, the chapters in this book explore finance and banking, technology regulation, critical infrastructures, pandemics, natural disasters and climate change. Each chapter contrasts an approach centred on risk and control, where we assume we know about and can manage the future, with one that is more flexible, responding to uncertainty. The book argues that we need to adjust our modernist, controlling view and to develop new approaches, including some reclaimed and adapted from previous times or different cultures. This requires a radical rethinking of policies, institutions and practices for successfully navigating uncertainties in an increasingly turbulent world.

Po dvaceti pěti letech vychází zcela nový překlad deníku Anne Frankové. Poprvé v češtině s názvem, který svému dílu zamýšlela dát sama jeho autorka. Deník v dopisech si Anne Franková vedla od 12. června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944. Psala si ho jen pro sebe až do chvíle, kdy na jaře 1944 vyslechla z vysílání londýnského Rádia Oranje projev nizozemského exilového ministra školství. Vyzýval, aby lidé po skončení války shromáždili a zveřejnili všechna svědectví o utrpení nizozemského lidu za německé okupace. Jako příklad uvedl mimo jiné deníky. Pod dojmem tohoto projevu se Anne Franková rozhodla, že po válce vydá knihu. Základem k ní měl být její deník. Anne si k tomu 29. března 1944 zapsala: Milá Kitty, včera večer mluvil v Rádiu Oranje ministr Bolkestein o tom, že po válce bude uspořádána sbírka deníků a dopisů z téhle války. Samozřejmě se hned všichni vrhli na můj deník. Vždyť si představ, jak zajímavé by bylo, kdybych vydala román Zadní dům. Už jenom z titulu by lidé měli dojem, že je to detektivka. Od května 1944 začala deník přepracovávat a přepisovat, zanášela do něj opravy, vynechávala pasáže, které nepovažovala za dostatečně zajímavé, a jiné po paměti připisovala. Současně pokračovala v psaní původního deníku (badatelé ho později nazvali verze A - na rozdíl od přepracovaného deníku, který se označuje jako verze B). Poslední zápis Anne Frankové je z 1. srpna 1944. Již 4. srpna všech osm obyvatel úkrytu zatkla tzv. zelená policie. Pomocnice ve skrývání Miep Giesová s Bep Voskuijlovou Anniny zápisky hned v den zatčení odnesly do bezpečí. Miep Giesová je uložila v zásuvce svého psacího stolu, a až když se potvrdilo, že Anne věznění v koncentračním táboře nepřežila, předala je, aniž je četla, Anninu otci Ottovi Frankovi. Otto Frank se po zralé úvaze rozhodl, že splní přání své zemřelé dcery a zápisky vydá knižně. Za tím účelem sestavil z obou Anniných verzí, původní (verze A) a vlastnoručně přepracované (verze B), zkrácenou třetí verzi (C). Aktuálně po celém světě vydávanou, autorizovanou verzi připravila z pověření basilejského Fondu Anne Frankové německá spisovatelka a překladatelka Mirjam Presslerová. Převzala Frankův výběr záznamů z verze C a doplnila jej pasážemi z deníkových verzí A a B. Nový, celkem už třetí překlad deníku do češtiny, pořídila Magda de Bruin Hüblová. Vrací se k názvu, jejž si Anne pro svoji zamýšlenou knihu přála a s nímž vychází deník v nizozemštině. Ke svému pojetí překladu napsala Magda de Bruin Hüblová: "K deníku Anne Frankové lze při překládání přistupovat dvěma způsoby: jako k dokumentu, což vyžaduje co nejpřesnější překlad, nebo jako k literárnímu dílu, což umožňuje jisté uhlazení textu s ohledem na mladé čtenáře. Protože se nový překlad má stát součástí souborného vydání díla Anne Frankové, v němž poprvé v češtině vyjdou i autentické, ,neučesané‘ verze A a B, přiklonila jsem se k první možnosti. Můj překlad tak zachovává víc než předchozí české překlady zvláštnosti předlohy." Annelies Marie FRANKOVÁ (12. června 1929 - únor 1945) v roce 1933 s rodiči a starší sestrou Margot emigrovala z Německa do Amsterodamu. Od července 1942 se tu rodina skrývala v zadní části domu, který patřil otcově firmě, aby unikla pronásledování Židů. Dospívající Anne si psala od 12. června 1942 až do prozrazení úkrytu na začátku srpna 1944 deník. Po zatčení byla rodina deportována do koncentračních táborů v Německu a na území dnešního Polska, přežil jen otec. Anne zahynula v Bergen-Belsenu. Po válce otec Annin deník vydal, byl přeložen do mnoha jazyků, zdramatizován a zfilmován. Toto vydání přináší nový překlad do češtiny.

‘Probably the UK’s greatest living statistician’ TelegraphFrom the UK’s ‘statistical national treasure’, a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertaintyWe live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don’t know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order.Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know

Audiokniha: Kompletní portrét nejbrutálnějšího sériového vraha Ameriky. Kniha spisovatelky Ann Rule, Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku, je naprosto jedinečná ve své ohromující intimitě a popírá stejně děsivě jako v době svého vzniku naši představu, že bychom přece samozřejmě poznali, kdyby mezi námi žilo monstrum, pracovalo vedle nás a tvářilo se, že je jedním z nás. S mrazením stupňujícím se s každou další stránkou sledujeme, jak si autorka začala postupně uvědomovat, že její citlivý spolupracovník z krizové linky Ted Bundy je ve skutečnosti jedním z nejděsivějších sériových vrahů Ameriky. Bundy se doznal k zabití nejméně šestatřicet mladých žen po celých Spojených státech a za tři z těchto vražd byl nakonec odsouzen k smrti na elektrickém křesle. Autorka čerpá mimo jiné i ze své korespondence s Bundym, jež trvala až do doby krátce před jeho popravou. Daří se jí udržovat v rovnováze svůj hluboce osobní pohled na věc a svou roli kriminální reportérky při honu po brutálním sériovém vrahovi – geniálním a charismatickém Bundym, o němž si myslela, že ho zná. Touto nezapomenutelnou kronikou Bundyho života, jeho případu a jejich vzájemného vztahu, Ann Rule změnila směřování literárního žánru true crime. Autor: Ann Rule (1931 – 2015) byla oblíbená americká spisovatelka žánru true crime. Pracovala jako policistka a byla velmi vzdělaná v oborech psychologie a kriminologie. Kniha Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku byla pro její kariéru ta nejdůležitější. V době, kdy začala na knize pracovat a sbírat informace, nebyly ještě vraždy vyřešené. V průběhu psaní vyšlo najevo, že onen sériový vrah je Bundy, její kamarád, což jí poskytlo naprosto unikátní postavení mezi autory true crime. Ann Rule obdržela dvě ceny Anthony Awards a třikrát byla nominována na Edgar Awards. Je považována za průkopnici žánru true crime, tak jak jej známe dnes. Interpret: Karolína Půčková se narodila 8.2.1996 v Praze, kde rovněž vystudovala obor Herectví a moderování. V umění má ráda pestrost. Vidět ji můžete převážně na divadle.

A FRESH ACCOUNT OF TWO OF ENGLANDS BEST-KNOWN QUEENS: PERFECT FOR FANS OF WOLF HALL AND SIX THE MUSICAL Readers LOVE Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I:''A wonderful book and one I''m sure I''ll be reading again'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''This really is a triumph! . . . A lucid and fascinating account'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''So well written and meticulously researched'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐*************************Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination. By far the most famous of Henry VIII''s six wives, she has inspired books, documentaries and films, and is the subject of intense debate even today, almost 500 years after her violent death. For the most part, she is considered in the context of her relationship with Tudor England''s much-married monarch. Dramatic though this story is, of even greater interest - and significance - is the relationship between Anne and her daughter, the future Elizabeth I.Elizabeth was less than three years old when her mother was executed. Given that she could have held precious few memories of Anne, it is often assumed that her mother exerted little influence over her. But this is both inaccurate and misleading. Elizabeth knew that she had to be discreet about Anne, but there is compelling evidence that her mother exerted a profound influence on her character, beliefs and reign. Even during Henry''s lifetime, Elizabeth dared to express her sympathy for her late mother by secretly wearing Anne''s famous ''A'' pendant when she sat for a painting with her father and siblings.Piecing together evidence from original documents and artefacts, this book tells the story of Anne Boleyn''s relationship with, and influence over her daughter Elizabeth. In so doing, it sheds new light on two of the most famous and influential women in history.*****************************Critical acclaim for Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I:''(A)sensational book by one of our greatest and best-loved historians... Astoundingly good.'' - Alison Weir''Masterful, captivating, page-turning, this is solid gold history at its best.'' - Nicola Tallis''(A) thought-provoking, impeccably researched, and moving account uncovering how Anne''s family, intellect, and tragedy shaped Elizabeth I''s extraordinary career.'' - Gareth Russell''Her extensive research... reveals them as the most dazzling female double act in history.'' - Sarah Gristwood''Incredibly well-researched, elegantly written, and overall genuinely ground-breaking,'' - Estelle Paranque

Komiksové vydání světové klasiky. Annelies Marie Franková (12. června 1929 - březen 1945) v roce 1933 s rodiči uprchla z Německa do Amsterodamu, kde se rodina od roku 1942 skrývala v půdním bytě. Dospívající Anne psala od 12. června 1942 do 4. srpna 1944 deník. Po prozrazení skrýše byla rodina odvezena do koncentračních táborů v Německu, přežil jen otec. Anne zahynula v Bergen-Belsenu. Po válce otec deník vydal, byl přeložen do mnoha jazyků a zdramatizován. Významný historik Alvin Rosenveld ve své knize The End of the Holocaust (Konec holokaustu) píše, že "prostřednictvím Anne Frankové se s obdobím nacismu nejspíš seznámilo víc lidí než prostřednictvím kterékoliv jiné dobové postavy, snad jen vyjma samotného Hitlera". Rosenveld zkoumá četné faktory, které přispěly k tomu, že se z Anne Frankové stal symbol, jehož význam ani po více než sedmdesáti letech neklesl. Snad proto jsem velmi váhal, když se na mě před třemi lety obrátil Fond Anne Frankové (AFF) z Basileje, abych podle Deníku vytvořil nejen animovaný film, ale převedl ho také do grafické podoby. Hlavně představa grafického deníku mě odrazovala. Když jsem si Deník znovu přečetl - jako dospělý a otec dospívajících dětí -, zasáhl mě i okouzlil: nešlo mi do hlavy, že se třináctiletá dívka dokázala dívat na okolní svět tak zralým, poetickým a lyrickým pohledem a své postřehy převádět na tak výstižné a přemýšlivé záznamy, překypující soucitem i humorem, a projevovat přitom takovou míru sebereflexe, s jakou jsem se jen zřídka setkal u dospělých - a tím méně u dětí. Je to ikonický a jedinečný text a projekt představoval značnou výzvu: kdybychom chtěli převést do grafické podoby celý text, bez vynechání jediného slova, s úctou ke každému písmenku, které Anne napsala, vzniklo by dílo o takových 3 500 stranách a prací na něm bychom strávili dobrých deset let. A navíc by se tím nevyřešil hlavní současný problém: výrazný pokles počtu dětí, které čtou, protože většina z nich podlehla kouzlu obrazovky. Nejtěžším úkolem bylo zachovat zhruba pět procent Annina Deníku a současně se nezpronevěřit jejímu psaní. (z úvodní poznámky Ari Folmana) Český překlad tohoto grafického deníku čerpá důsledněji než anglická předloha z autentického Deníku Anne Frankové. Projevuje se to zejména v replikách (zachovávají věrněji dikci Anne Frankové, jak ji známe z překladu Miroslava Drápala a Michaely Jacobsenové), ale mnohdy i v komentáři. Tam, kde se autoři odchýlili od historických faktů v obrazovém ztvárnění, jsme byli nuceni převzít jejich verzi, aby nevznikl rozpor mezi ilustrací a textem. (Magda de Bruin Hüblová)

Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne''s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love. Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.The sequel, Anne of Avonlea, follows her progress as a teacher as she seeks to put into practice the lessons she has learnt, helping at the same time to keep Green Gables going, pursuing her enduring friendships, and finding first love where she least expects it. Both books conjure an enchanting landscape of wild blossom, lakes and brooks, woods and ocean, seen through Anne’s ‘beauty-loving eyes’, whose vision of the world she brings us to share.

Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery is the author of the children's book ''Anne of Ingleside''. Toronto's McClelland and Stewart and the Frederick A. Stokes Company released it for the first time in July 1939. (New York). It is also Montgomery's last book to be published. Anne Shirley appears in 10 of these volumes. In terms of publication order, Anne of Ingleside came before Rainbow Valley. The Anne stories are also included in the short story collection of The Blythes Are Quoted, which was written in 1941/42 but wasn't released until 2009. The book's copyright in the US was extended in 1967. Anne travels to Avonlea to see Diana Wright and Anne Cordelia. She returns to the old Morgan house, now named 'Ingleside'. The book spans a period of about six years and includes adventures for each of Anne's five children as well as their aunt Mary Maria Blythe. In many of the stories, the Ingleside children are taken in by children who tell lies to seem more interesting. Gilbert has become distant from Anne, and she fears that he may no longer love her. Shirley, the third son of the Blythes, appears in the book but strangely does not receive a solo "spotlight" story of his own.

An exploration of our extraordinary shift away from materialism toward renewal of the numinous, mysterious, and uncertain• Examines topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, out-of-body experience, and the contemporary war on witches• Looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and debunks famous pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi• Explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and Ouija boards, and upends hallowed spiritual concepts like forgivenessAll of us today dwell in uncertain places--realities in which thoughts make things happen, ESP is provable by the scientific methods once used to debunk it, UFOs are mainstream, and magick no longer requires rite and ritual but is as near as your own mind. Today’s leading voice of esotericism and the occult, Mitch Horowitz explores topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, the relevance of Gnosticism, and the slender but authentic connection between today’s spiritual culture and antiquity, including in areas of Hermeticism, deity worship, out-of-body experience, and magick. He demonstrates the occult roots of wide-ranging facets of modern culture, including politics, abstract art, mind-body healing, self-help, and breakthrough scientific fields such as quantum physics and neuroplasticity. He looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and provides a magnificent take-down of famous debunkers and pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi. He explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and the history of Ouija boards and questions time-honored spiritual values like forgiveness. Mitch also examines the contemporary war on witches around the world and what it is like to be blacklisted. Offering a thought-provoking investigation of the spiritual, the occult, the magickal, and the extra-physical, Mitch lays the groundwork for readers to continue their own journeys into these esoteric streams of consciousness.

In That Uncertain Feeling by Kingsley Amis, competition is stiff for the position of sub-librarian in Aberdarcy Library. For John Lewis, the situation is complicated by the attentions of daunting and desirable village socialite, Elizabeth Gruffyd-Williams, who is married to a member of the local Council. Pursuing an affair with her whilst keeping his job prospects alive is John''s predicament, as he finds himself running down Welsh country lanes at midnight in a wig and dress, resisting the advances of local drunks and suffering the long speeches of a ''nut-faced'' clergyman.At times tenderly satirical and at times riotously slap-stick, Amis sends up an array of rural stereotypes in this story about a man who doesn''t know what he wants.Kingsley Amis''s (1922-95) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of World War II. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.

Jane Austen’s Persuasion meets the Big Apple in this swoon-worthy holiday romance from the authors of Elizabeth of East Hampton and Emma of 83rd Street.Eight years ago, Anne Elliot broke Freddie Wentworth’s heart when she refused to give up her five-year plan for the sake of adventure. But despite big dreams, Anne, now thirty, is still living at home with hardly a plan in sight. Anne tries to be optimistic—she knows better than anyone that regret will get you nowhere—but that goes out the window when, thanks to her father’s bad spending habits, her childhood apartment is rented out to the very man still living in her head rent-free. Freddie Wentworth never thought he would see Anne Elliot again after she dumped him for accepting a job overseas. He spent years trying to forget her, and he’s been mostly successful. So when a job opportunity takes him back to New York, he’s shocked to find out that Anne is not only his new neighbor, but also the former resident of his new Greenwich Village penthouse. Nearly a decade after Anne and Freddie’s fateful romance, the only thing they still have in common is a desire to leave their relationship firmly in the past. But between a disastrous off-Broadway show and a drunken Thanksgiving dinner, nosey neighbors, and flirtatious friends, Anne and Freddie suddenly find their lives more intertwined than ever before. When old feelings start rising to the surface, they must decide whether to put their hearts on the line or walk away all over again.

Publikace obsahuje veškeré dosud známé texty, jejichž autorkou je Anne Franková, tzn. především všechny verze deníku, dále povídky, pokus o román, dochovanou korespondenci, výpisky z oblíbených knih a tzv. knížku o Egyptě. Svazek je doplněn o bohatou fotografickou přílohu. Souborné vydání dosud vyšlo jen ve čtyřech světových jazycích (německy, nizozemsky, anglicky a francouzsky). České znění je pořízeno z nizozemského originálu, vydaného v nakladatelství Prometheus v roce 2013 (712 stran), který přeložila Magda de Bruin Hüblová. Součástí knihy jsou také tři odborné práce, jež srozumitelným způsobem vpravují zájemce do historického kontextu Annina života a života rodin, které se ukrývaly před hrozbou nacismu. Svazek rovněž obsahuje příspěvek o historii vydávání deníku a Annina díla, o ohlasech na deník i o popíračských útocích na jeho pravost, dále pak podrobný soupis literatury k tematice, který je obohacen o české prameny. Nad rámec originálu přináší české vydání vysvětlivky a postřehy z nejnovějších badatelských aktivit, jež nad texty a biografií Anne Frankové probíhají. Anne Franková je známa zejména jako autorka deníku, který psala během svého ukrývání s rodinou od června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944 v tzv. zadním domě v Amsterdamu. Tento deník a příběh Anne, její rodiny, přátel a spolupracovníků se stal symbolem odporu proti holocaustu a šířeji boje proti diskriminaci a bezpráví. Celosvětovou oblibu získal Annin deník rovněž jako svědectví o dospívání. Deník v podobě, v níž je vydáván pro široké čtenářské publikum (tzv. verze D), tvoří ovšem jen menší část Anniny písemné pozůstalosti. Téměř neznámé jsou také textologické otázky, jež jsou s tzv. čtenářským vydáním deníku spojeny. Mezi texty Anne Frankové dominují různé verze deníku. Otištění každé verze předchází podrobný popis a jsou vysvětleny časové souvislosti a důvody vzniku verzí.

Životy dvou nejlepších kamarádek se měly změnit navždy. Ani jedna z nich nebude nikdy zapomenuta... "Jako dítě jsem byla svědkem toho, jak se svět, který jsem milovala, zhroutil a zmizel, zničený nesmyslnou nenávistí, a s ním zmizela i moje nejlepší kamarádka Anne." V roce 1933 pětiletá Hannah uprchla se svou rodinou z nacistického Německa do Amsterodamu, kde brzy navázala přátelství se sobě podobnou dívkou: předčasně vyspělou, otevřenou a veselou holčičkou jménem Anne Franková. Na několik nádherných let se z nich staly nerozlučné kamarádky, které si užívaly bezstarostné dětské hry, radosti a vzájemné návštěvy ve své čtvrti Rivierenbuurt. V červnu 1942, když zesílila nacistická okupace Evropy, byly náhle od sebe bez varování odtrženy. Anne a její rodina zmizely zdánlivě beze stopy a zůstalo po nich neumyté nádobí ve dřezu a neustlané postele. Ve chvíli, kdy si Hannah lámala hlavu s tím, co se s její kamarádkou stalo, a doufala, že je Anne v pořádku, začal se rozvíjet osud její vlastní rodiny: všichni byli odvezeni do internačního tábora Westerbork, odkud byli Hannah, její otec, její mladší sestra Gabi a její prarodiče přemístěni do koncentračního tábora Bergen-Belsenu. V hrozivých podmínkách, obklopena smrtí, se Hannah dozvěděla o své kamarádce překvapivé informace. V zoufalé snaze zachránit Anne, která byla slabá a bojovala o přežití, riskovala Hannah svůj život. Hannin příběh přežití navzdory všemu je svědectvím o trvalé síle přátelství, lásky a paměti. "Hannin příběh konečně doplňuje to, co již Anne říci nemohla. Je srdceryvný a současně plný životního optimismu a jeho pravdu teď potřebujeme více než jindy." Edith Egerová, autorka bestselleru Máme na vybranou
