Helen's Big World - Doreen Rappaport

This "magnificent account" (New York Times) of Helen Keller's life presents a moving portrait of one of the world’s great luminaries. When Helen was nineteen months old, an illness left her unable to see or speak. She struggled to make herself understood, and often lashed out when she couldn't. With the help of a teacher named Annie Sullivan, she learned to spell words with her fingers, opening her world immeasurably. She soon learned to write and to read Braille, and even to read lips by touch; with Annie by her side, she went to college, and wrote an autobiography that shared her story with the world. She was lauded as a genius and became an advocate for people with disabilities, workers' rights, women's rights, and racial justice. With her signature style of accessible prose laced with stirring quotes, Doreen Rappaport brings to life Helen Keller’s poignant narrative in this addition to the Big Words series of picture book biographies. Acclaimed illustrator Matt Tavares beautifully captures the dynamism and verve of Helen’s life and legacy, making Helen's Big World an unforgettable portrait of a woman whose vision for innovation and progress changed America—and the world—forever. ★ “Stirring and awe-inspiring.” —The Horn ...

Helen of Troy - Bettany Hughes

As soon as men began to write, they made Helen of Troy their subject; for nearly three thousand years she has been both the embodiment of absolute female beauty and a reminder of the terrible power that beauty can wield. Because of her double marriage to the Greek King Menelaus and the Trojan Prince Paris, Helen was held responsible for both the Trojan War and enduring enmity between East and West. For millennia she has been viewed as an exquisite agent of extermination. But who was she?Helen exists in many guises: a matriarch from the Age of Heroes who ruled over one of the most fertile areas of the Mycenaean world; Helen of Sparta, the focus of a cult which conflated Helen the heroine with a pre-Greek fertility goddess; the home-wrecker of the Iliad; the bitch-whore of Greek tragedy; the pin-up of Romantic artists.Focusing on the ''real'' Helen - a flesh-and-blood aristocrat from the Greek Bronze Age - acclaimed historian Bettany Hughes reconstructs the context of life for this elusive pre-historic princess and places her alongside the heroes and heroines of myth and history. Through the eyes of a young Mycenaean woman, Hughes examines the physical, historical and cultural traces ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A na krátky okamih, obklopená cezmínou, ktorá mi prepichuje nohavice, zabudnem, kde som. Zabudnem na dom, ktorý zatiaľ nepovažujem za domov, a na hektickú prácu. Vtedy príde tá myšlienka. Tu by mohli byť včely, napadne mi a moja myseľ sa vzápätí rozbehne ako stádo divokých koní. Prekvapene odstúpim. Helen Jukes sa na prahu tridsiatky cíti uväznená v mestskom kolotoči kancelárskych intríg a dočasných adries. Snaží sa vybudovať zázemie v podobe novej práce v Oxforde, ale uvedomí si, že ak túži viesť zmysluplný život naplnený láskou a prácou, musí sa zmeniť. Práve vtedy jej priatelia venujú včelstvo (podľa starých legiend darované včely prinášajú šťastie) a z Helen sa postupne stáva včelárka. Čo však znamená starať sa o týchto divokých tvorčekov a prežiť s nimi jeden celý rok? Ako môžu nové poznatky o včelách prispieť k objavovaniu seba samej? A prinesie jej cesta do útrob úľa uvoľnenie?

Willenhall to Horseley Fields - Alec Brew

This collection of over 200 old photographs illustrates scenes from the communities of Willenhall and Horseley Fields. These pictures show how relatively unchanged the streets and buildings of Willenhall are. A walk around the town today shows that it is still possible to see many of the features which appear in the oldest photographs in this book. By contrast, the old area of Horseley Fields has all but disappeared. The history of Willenhall or ‘Humpshire’ as it is affectionately known, as a world-renowned centre for lockmaking is illustrated and we see people at work, leisure and sport. The book also looks back to the more industrial days of Horseley Fields. Through the medium of photography the book captures the essence of life as it used to be in Willenhall and Horseley Fields and will appeal to both young and old. This is the third book written by the author, in a series which, by the millennium, will cover all the environs of Wolverhampton. Codsall and Claregate and Tettenhall and Pattingham are already available and four more are in preparation.

Perník - Helen Oyeyemi

Příběh anglické učitelky Harriet Leeové a její šestnáctileté dcery Perdity se zprvu zdá být zcela všední. Čtenář se však brzy ocitne uprostřed surreálného víru vyprávění, jež jej ze současného Londýna unese do (možná imaginární) země Harrietina dětství, kde její rodina peče neobyčejný perník. Nejraději ze všech jej má Harrietina přítelkyně Gretel, mysteriózní figura, jež Harriet zasahuje do života zcela nepředvídatelným způsobem a kvůli níž začne o dlouhá léta později Harrietina dcera pátrat po tajemství svého původu - a onen surreálný vír se roztočí ještě víc… Román Perník výmluvně dokládá, proč se Helen Oyeyemi řadí k nejuznávanějším britským spisovatelům současnosti: její fantaskní vyprávění se snovým nádechem čerpá inspiraci z pohádkových příběhů, staví na archetypech, odkazuje na klasickou literaturu i pop-kulturu, a to vše činí nesmírně vytříbeným jazykem a mimořádným stylem.
