Audiokniha: Šlechtičnu Sophii Stanton-Lacyovou vychoval svobodomyslný otec, a tak nemá s jinými dívkami ze své společenské vrstvy mnoho společného. Na rozdíl od nich totiž nedbá na konvence, nepředstírá slabost a poddajnost typické pro mladou dámu, ale vždycky se snaží prosadit svou, a především má obrovský smysl pro humor. Mnoha lidem připadá její chování pobuřující. Ani Charlesovi, jejímu bratranci, se chování této mladé slečny ze začátku příliš nelíbí. Člověk však míní a život mění… NENÍ TO TYPICKÁ MLADÁ ŠLECHTIČNA, JE TO SOPHIE… … dívka, kterou vychoval svobodomyslný otec sir Horace Stanton-Lacy. Jeho dcera proto nemá s ostatními slečnami ze svého okolí příliš společného. Nedbá totiž na zažité konvence a nepředstírá slabost a poddajnost, tak typické pro mladou dámu. Naopak se vždycky snaží prosadit svou, a co jí nechybí především, je smysl pro humor. Její chování je mnohým trnem v oku, a některé přímo pobuřuje! Ani Charles, její bratranec, z ní není kdovíjak nadšený. Člověk však míní a život mění… Ze čtenářských ohlasů: „Bylo to vtipné, duchaplné, poutavé, prostě úžasné!“ „Od chvíle, kdy se Sophie objeví na scéně, víte, že vás čeká zábavné čtení!“ „Skvělá kniha – Sophie je vtipná a rozkošná. Příběh, který vykouzlí úsměv na tváři.“ HISTORICKÁ ROMANCE PRO FANOUŠKY BRIDGERTONOVÝCH Georgette Heyerová (1902–1974) byla úspěšnou anglickou spisovatelkou. Psala zejména historické romance, v nichž svou emancipovaností nechala vyniknout ženským hrdinkám. Věnovala se však také žánru detektivky. Její příběhy se odehrávají převážně v kruzích vyšší společnosti a snoubí se v nich romantika, komedie, ale nechybí ani drama. Martina Hudečková (1964) se narodila v Praze. Vystudovala konzervatoř a věnuje se především divadlu, nejčastěji žánru konverzační komedie. Celých třináct let byla členkou Divadla Jiřího Wolkera, později působila například v pražské Redutě. V současné době spolupracuje s divadlem Palace. Vedle divadla je její hlavní doménou dabing, v němž se vypracovala na jednu nejobsazovanějších hereček. Několik let dabovala postavu Kelly Taylorové v seriálu Beverly Hills 90210, svůj podmanivý hlas propůjčila rovněž René Zellwegerové (Deník Bridget Jonesové), Helen Huntové (Vějíř lady Windermerové) či Jennifer Greyové (Hříšný tanec).

This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 16 tales by masters of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including a newly discovered Agatha Christie crime story that has not been seen since 1922.At a time when crime and thriller writing has once again overtaken the sales of general and literary fiction, Bodies from the Library unearths lost stories from the Golden Age, that period between the World Wars when detective fiction captured the publicâ ™s imagination and saw the emergence of some of the worldâ ™s cleverest and most popular storytellers.This anthology brings together 16 forgotten tales that have either been published only once before â “ perhaps in a newspaper or rare magazine â “ or have never before appeared in print. From a previously unpublished 1917 script featuring Ernest Bramahâ ™s blind detective Max Carrados, to early 1950s crime stories written for Londonâ ™s Evening Standard by Cyril Hare, Freeman Wills Crofts and A.A. Milne, it spans five decades of writing by masters of the Golden Age.Most anticipated of all are the contributions by women writers: the first detective story by Georgette Heyer, unseen since 1923; an unpublished story by Christianna Brand, creator of Nanny McPhee; and a dark tale by Agatha Christie published only in an Australian journal in 1922 during her â ˜Grand Tourâ ™ of the British Empire.With other stories by Detection Club stalwarts Anthony Berkeley, H.C. Bailey, J.J. Connington, John Rhode and Nicholas Blake, plus Vincent Cornier, Leo Bruce, Roy Vickers and Arthur Upfield, this essential collection harks back to a time before forensic science â “ when murder was a complex business.

In 2017, Sophie Pierceâ ™s life changed forever when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. Thrown into an unimaginable new reality, she had to find a way to survive. By writing letters to Felix â “ composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the River Dart â “ Sophie gradually learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and tides of grief. The Green Hill collects these letters alongside Sophieâ ™s account of the years following Felixâ ™s death, into which she weaves poignant memories of his life. What results is a deeply moving, beautifully captured record of how â “ amid the rivers and rocks of Dartmoor, and in the sea off the South Devon coast â “ Sophie was able to hold on to and nurture her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through a physical engagement with the landscape: actively mourning, rather than grieving. This book is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is one womanâ ™s story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy. In The Green Hill, Sophie Pierce writes about the sudden death of her son Felix with an aching and gentle honesty. Struggling to come to terms with the loss not only of the young man he was, but everything that he would eventually become, she finds herself overwhelmed not only by grief, but also by love. Her writing is illuminated by a remarkable attention to the beauty and consolation of the natural world, and by the wisdom and tenderness which has been so painfully acquired. This is a book that will be a great comfort to those who need it Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent and Melmoth Unforgettable, necessary. This beautiful book is a map, compass and ration of courage for anyone arrived in the landscape of sudden loss.

In her hilarious and thought-provoking first book, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline.Sophie challenged herself to find them the low-carbon way, travelling the length of Britain on foot, by bicycle, in an electric car, by kayak, on ferries and in a lot of trains. From Bodmin Moor to the Orkney Islands, Sophie encountered species on the frontline of climate change in Britain. Which are going to be seriously affected, and why? Could some bounce back from the brink? Or are we too late to save them?Forget Me Not is a clarion call: we all need to play a part in tackling this most existential of threats.

The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years, Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France #39;s prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book #39;s illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe #39;s inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock #39;s intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

⠘And then came the session where I felt I would give up. I felt frustrated as I⠙d worked so hard on trying to speak but the most important words; the worst ones, had simply not come out. I implied I would not necessarily come back the following week and as I got up to leave the room, Pat said, ⠘Try detaching from it entirely. Try writing it as a fairy story. Start with the words, once upon a time there was a little girl⠙.  That evening, I tried. I sat on my bed and typed on the note⠙s app of my phone Once Upon A Time ⠦ and finally, four decades after the abuse began, the words started to flow.⠙ This book documents the therapeutic journey undertaken by Sophie and her therapist, Pat. It includes all chapters of the fairy tale and the drawings Sophie created to help her make sense of her experiences and to reconnect with herself. It also contains the many in-between session conversations Pat and Sophie had by email, WhatsApp, and texts, with important insights into how to work safely with trauma.  Essential reading for all therapists, counsellors, health professionals, educators, and social workers, interested in understanding or working with survivors of child sexual abuse, and for those who are survivors of sexual abuse, The Flying Child ⠓ A Cautionary Fairy Tale for Adults- Finding a purposeful life after Child Sexual Abuse through compassionate and creative therapy ⠓ is a must- have for your bookshelf.  Today, Sophie is a survivor activist, writer, founder and managing director of The Flying Child: a non-profit, National Lottery Community Funded organisation improving the awareness of child sexual abuse and the consequences of trauma. The core aim of The Flying Child is to normalise speaking about CSA. The Flying Child Project brings lived experience into the heart of professional settings, providing training in Education, Social Work and Healthcare.  Pat Walsh is an experiential and intuitive counsellor with over forty years⠙ experience of working in trauma. Her background in nursing and occupational therapy taught her that to heal properly, wounds must be deeply cleansed, and purpose and meaning must be established to build any long -lasting recovery. She brings these learnings into her therapeutic work with survivors of sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse.

Sophie’s World: A Graphic Novel About the History of Philosophy, Vol II: From Descartes to the Present Day is the second adaptation continuing Jostein Gaarder’s worldwide philosophy bestseller reimagined by writer Vincent Zabus and artist Nicoby. Sophie’s come a long way since the day she received that cryptic letter with its intriguing question: “Who are you?” The mysterious correspondence sweeps our curious young heroine off on a tour of Western philosophy from its ancient foundations through the Renaissance. But it also prompts more personal reflection: What is my place in the world, my purpose in life? And just who is that girl, a stranger and yet so familiar, I glimpse in the mirror? Sophie’s quest for answers will see her explore major schools of modern thought from Descartes and Locke to Freud and Marx. She and her quizzical philosophy teacher Alberto, now unmasked, struggles with the possibility that they are characters in a book. As ever, our intrepid heroine remains forthright and open-hearted. In this witty comics adaptation, Zabus and Nicoby reinvent Jostein Gaarder’s novel of ideas—a beloved bestseller that has already won the hearts of over 50 million readers around the world—to bring Sophie’s charming quest for meaning to a whole new medium and a new generation.
