„Majsterka detailov, ktoré si podmania zmysly čitateľa“ nám prináša svieži a pohlcujúci román o troch generáciách toskánskych remeselníkov s nevšedným tajomstvom. Impozantne rozsiahle dielo oslňuje pútavými témami identity a príslušnosti. Príbeh sa odvíja v dych berúcich zvratoch. Matelda, ženská hlava rodiny Cabrelliovcov, bola vždy priama a tvrdohlavá. Tvárou v tvár smrti sa odhodlá nenechať kameň na kameni vrátane matkinho tajomstva o jej dvoch veľkých životných láskach: priateľovi z detstva Silviovi a hrdom škótskom námornom kapitánovi Johnovi Lawriem McVicarsovi, Mateldinom otcovi, ktorého nikdy nestretla... Domenice Cabrelliovej sa v pobrežnom mestečku Viareggio, ponorenom do idylických čias minulosti, darí, až kým sa Taliansko neocitne na pokraji druhej svetovej vojny. Osud ju zo skalnatého marseilleského pobrežia zaveje do mysticky krásneho Škótska a nebezpečného vojnového Liverpoolu, kde bezdôvodne uväznili talianskych Škótov. Domenica prežije lásku, stratu a smútok za domovom. O sto rokov jej dcéra Matelda a pravnučka Anina čelia tým istým zásadným otázkam o živote a rodinnom dedičstve. Matelda premýšľa, o čo stojí bojovať a čoho sa radšej zriecť. Cabrelliovci prežili veľa a dúfať v skutočné uzdravenie môžu len vďaka premennej sile lásky. Matelde však neostáva veľa času a obe časové línie sa pretínajú a narážajú do seba tak nečakane a bolestivo, až rodinu vykúpia.

The View from Somewhere - Lewis Raven Wallace

A look at the history and myth of the objective journalist and how this ideal has been used to silence marginalized voices.  In The View from Somewhere, Lewis Raven Wallace dives deep into the history of “objectivity” in journalism and how its been used to gatekeep and silence marginalized writers as far back as Ida B. Wells. At its core, this is a book about fierce journalists who have pursued truth and transparency and sometimes been punished for it—not just by tyrannical governments but by journalistic institutions themselves. He highlights the stories of journalists who question “objectivity” with sensitivity and passion: Desmond Cole of the Toronto Star; New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse; Pulitzer Prize-winner Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah; Peabody-winning podcaster John Biewen; Guardian correspondent Gary Younge; former Buzzfeed reporter Meredith Talusan; and many others. Wallace also shares his own experiences as a midwestern transgender journalist and activist who was fired from his job as a national reporter for public radio for speaking out against “objectivity” in coverage of Trump and white supremacy.  With insightful steps through history, Wallace stresses that journalists have never been mere passive observers.

View from Within

Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of interest in the scientific study of consciousness — an area that has been largely ignored since the time of William James. This renaissance has primarily been stimulated by developments in PET, fMRI and other brain-scanning technology that enable scientists to pinpoint the neural correlates of conscious experience with ever-increasing accuracy. However, the study of conscious experience itself has not kept pace with these advances in third-person methodologies. If anything, the standard approaches to examining the ''view from within'' involve little more than cataloging its readily accessible components. Thus the study of lived subjective experience is still at the level of Aristotelian science. This has led many to deny that there could possibly be such a thing as a truly scientific study of conscious experience, or at least to ask: can one be objective about the subjective? Drawing on a wide range of approaches — from phenomenology to meditation — THE VIEW FROM WITHIN examines the possibility of a disciplined approach to the study of subjective states. The focus is on the practical issues involved.

The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation''s best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians.

A View from Life's Edge - Corinne G. Dempsey

In conversation with ninety-one women over the age of eighty in California, northern Iceland, south India, and among Sisters of St. Joseph in western New York, A View from Life’s Edge explores how, in the face of death, a sense of what really matters can clarify. Here we find a loosening of certitudes normally meant to keep life’s unwieldiness at bay, a chipping away at the illusion that any of us are captains of our own perfectly sailing ships. Reflecting on stories and opinions shared with her across the globe, Dempsey describes how a countercultural realism and an expanded sense of wonder repeatedly emerge in later life. These are offerings that call for our attention and yet face a double challenge. In as much as we strive to deny life’s finitude, we deny older adults their voices. A central conundrum of ageism is that we silence out of fear that which could quell our fears.

FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE EMPTY RAINCOAT AND UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONS. A Financial Times Best Business Book of 2025Over a span of seven decades, Charles Handy was, variously, a businessman, a writer, a philanthropist and a philosopher. Not even a stroke as he approached the age of 90 dimmed his intellectual curiosity or his immense zest for life. In this, his final book, written from the vantage point of a contemplative old age and drawing on his articles for The Idler he shares his thoughts on the big questions with which we all grapple:What things really matter?What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant?How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? How do we cope with grief and loss?Drawing in part on his own experience, in part on the wisdom of others, he sets out the principles of enjoying a fulfilled and contented life, and gently points the way to the practicalities of achieving it.

The View From the Corner Shop - Patricia Malcolmson, Kathleen Hey

A lively diary chronicling the ups and downs of running a grocery shop in a Yorkshire town during the rationing years of the Second World War Kathleen Hey spent the war years helping her sister and brother-in-law run a grocery shop in the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury. From July 1941 to July 1946 she kept a diary for the Mass-Observation project, recording the thoughts and concerns of the people who used the shop. What makes Kathleen's account such a vivid and compelling read is the immediacy of her writing. People were pulling together on the surface ('Bert has painted the V-sign on the shop door…', she writes) but there are plenty of tensions underneath. The shortage of food and the extreme difficulty of obtaining it is a constant thread, which dominates conversation in the town, more so even than the danger of bombardment and the war itself. Sometimes events take a comic turn. A lack of onions provokes outrage among her customers, and Kathleen writes, 'I believe they think we have secret onion orgies at night and use them all up.' The Brooke Bond tea rep complains that tea need not be rationed at all if supply ships were not ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A View From The Foothills - Chris Mullin

''It is said that failed politicians make the best diarists. In which case I am in with a chance.'' Chris MullinChris Mullin has been a Labour MP for twenty years, and despite his refusal to toe the party line - on issues like 90 days detention, for example - he has held several prominent posts. To the apoplexy of the whips, he was for a time the only person appointed to government who voted against the Iraq War. He also chaired the Home Affairs Select Committee and was a member of the Parliamentary Committee, giving him direct access to the court of Tony Blair.Irreverent, wry and candid, Mullin''s keen sense of the ridiculous allows him to give a far clearer insight into the workings of Government than other, more overtly successful politicians. He offers humorous and incisive takes on all aspects of political life: from the build-up to Iraq, to the scandalous sums of tax-payers'' money spent on ministerial cars he didn''t want to use. His critically acclaimed diary will entertain and amuse far beyond the political classes.
