When I Were a Lad⠦ looks at the glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health and Safety officers told us we couldn⠙t do everything because it was too dangerous.The sleeper hit of Christmas 2009 ⠓ more than 4,000 copies sold through Bookscan.A book to send shivers down the spine of any parent who has spent years protecting their children from the slightest bump and bash.A glorious romp though some of the most reckless photos from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s, tagged with side-splitting captions.Ah, the past. A time when children could play in the snow without a helmet, crampons and a risk assessment report. When footballs were made from rhino hide and cricket was played with one pad, if you were lucky. When I Were a Lad⠦ looks at the glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health and Safety officers told us we couldn⠙t do everything because it was too dangerous. It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit and take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears with their hands and get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors! These truly were the days that Health and Safety forgot, back when I were a lad⠦

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist missed connection post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends.I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone.A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding... I didn t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday.You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again.You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like.I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

We Were There is about a Black Britain that for too long has been unknown and unexplored â “ the one that exists beyond London. A vital corrective that enhances our understanding of black British history STEVE MCQUEEN Utterly brilliant DIPO FALOYIN Captivated me from the first page PRAGYA AGARWAL Essential reading EKOW ESHUNFrom the late 1970s to the early 1990s Britain was in tumult: rocked by Margaret Thatcherâ ™s radical economic policy, the rise of the National Front, widespread civil unrest. With anti-immigration policies in the political mainstream, Black lives were on the frontline of a racial reckoning. But it was also a time of unrivalled Black cultural creation, organising and resistance. This was the crucible in which modern Britain came into existence.We Were There brings into the spotlight for the first time extraordinary Black lives in once-rich cities now home to failing industries: the foundries of Birmingham, the docks of Liverpool and Cardiff, the mills of Bradford. We are in Wigan, Wolverhampton, Manchester and the green expanse of the British countryside. We meet feminists and Rastafarians, academics and pan-Africanists, environmental campaigners and rugby-league superstars; witness landmark campaigns against miscarriages of justice; encounter radical groups of artists and pioneering thinkers; tread dancefloors that hosted Northern Soul all-nighters and the birth of Acid House.Together, these voices and stories rewrite our idea of Black British culture. London was only ever part of the picture â “ We Were There is about incorporating a vastly broader range of Black Britons into the fabric of our national story.Alive with energy and purpose, We Were There decisively expands our sense of who we are. Confronting, joyful and thrilling, this is a profoundly important new portrait of modern Britain.

A beautiful, brilliant, lively book that weaves together fascinating and moving examples with thoughtful analysis. Both heartfelt and rigorous, entertaining and scholarly, Before We Were Trans invites us to expand our sense of communities - past and present - in welcoming ways, rather than contracting them and policing their borders MEG-JOHN BARKER, author of Gender: A Graphic Guide Celebrates trans history, whilst acknowledging the reality of what it means to live within our community with joy and kindness. In-depth research and personal stories tie Before We Were Trans up into a true treat for the mind JAMIE WINDUST, author of In Their ShoesAcross the world today, people of all ages are doing fascinating, creative, messy things with gender.These people have a rich history - but one that is often left behind by narratives of trans lives that focus on people with stable, binary, uncomplicated gender identities. As a result, these stories tend to be recent, binary, stereotyped, medicalised and white. Before We Were Trans is a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be comprehensive or definitive, but - by blending culture, feminism and politics - to widen the scope of what we think of as trans history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised by stability or binary categories.Transporting us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North America, the stories this book tells leave questions and resist conclusions. They are fraught with ambiguity, and defy modern Western terminology and categories - not least the category of trans itself. But telling them provides a history that reflects the richness of modern trans reality more closely than any previously written.Before We Were Trans is a history and celebration of gender in all its fluidity, ambiguity and complexity.

In alternating chapters that reveal a nascent period in their development as two of the twentieth century s most influential writers, Beat Generation icons William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac s And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks is an electrifying true-life mystery, including afterword by James Grauerholtz in Penguin Modern Classics.This is a hardboiled crime novel, and a true story. In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, then still unknown writers, were both arrested following a murder: one of their friends had stabbed another and then come to them for advice - neither had told the police. Later they wrote this fictionalised account of that summer - of a group of friends in wartime New York, moving through each other s apartments, drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime. Unpublished for years, And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks is a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers. If you enjoyed And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks, you might like Kerouac s On the Road, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. The novel that kicked it all off Independent An insight into Kerouac before he went on the road and Burroughs before his drug use spiralled out of control, this is a major literary event GQ

Dear children, Josef Čapek, the writer, wrote for you the Tale About a doggie and a pussycat. For this Tale he also drew lots of very nice pictures. When he was writing and drawing all of this, little Alice was sitting on his lap. She was his daughter and he loved her very much, and little Alice loved her father. Because they were fond of each other like that, Mr. Čapek wrote and drew his story just like his Alice wished. Maybe she even suggested a bit what he should write and draw. However, we are not sure about that, we are just quessing. We would like to tell you that we are in good health and that we just began to be published as a serial for children. Now, as far as we know, you are going to be told in different books how we were washing the floor, how we made a cake, how we were writing a letter, how doggie tore his pants, then about a doll which was crying faintly and also about a proud night shirt. We are looking forward to tell you more. We hope that you feel the same. So bye and regards, Yours PUSSYCAT and DOGGIE

Audiokniha: Jeden z největších projektů historie audioknih. Více než třicet let 20. století v dopisech dvou kamarádů na život a na smrt. V celkem 561 dopisech se dva legendární klauni představují tak, jak je neznáme. Prožívají přes oceán všechny své pracovní úspěchy i nezdary a osobní tragédie. Nechybí ani přesný popis boje se státní mocí na obou stranách Atlantiku. Voskovec je po příjezdu do USA zatčen a několik měsíců vězněn a vyšetřován v době amerického boje proti komunismu. Werich pro změnu bojuje s komunistickým režimem, který mu podle zakazuje dělat svou profesi. Jeho otevřené dopisy na tehdejší Ministerstva kultury či vnitra jsou součástí nahrávky. Celou korespondencí se jako neviditelná nit táhne snaha potkat se, hrát spolu divadlo nebo točit film. Několikrát je taková situace už velmi blízko. Své plány s nimi mělo hned několik slovutných režisérů - Jasný, Kadár i Miloš Forman. Bohužel, nikdy ke vzájemné spolupráci už nedošlo. S přibývajícím čase se v dopisech téma spolupráce mění téma nemoci a stáří. A končí téměř antickou tragédií, kdy během několika měsíců zemře Werichova žena Zdenka, dcera Jana a nakonec i sám Jan Werich. Celá nahrávka je zakončena dojemným vyznáním Jiřího Voskovce Můj kamarád Jan Werich. Audiokniha vznikala postupně po dobu téměř čtyř let. Rolí Jana Wericha, Jiřího Voskovce a Zdenky Werichové se fantastickým způsobem ujali Norbert Lichý, Václav Knop a Daniela Kolářová. Hudbou na motivy skladeb Jaroslava Ježka doplnil Raven. Autorkou obalu je výtvarnice Petra Dufková, jejíž tvorbu můžete znát z vizuálů nadnárodních firem Cartier, Swarovski, Yves Rocher aj. Britské prestižní vydavatelství Laurence King Publishing ji zařadilo mezi 20 nejvýznamnějších ilustrátorů světa.

Audiokniha: Výbor z humoristických próz noblesního komika Jana Wericha uslyšíte v sérii Mé moudřejší povídky v podání Arnošta Goldflama a v povídce Válec aneb Dítě štěstěny v podání Josefa Somra. Režie se ujali Michal Bureš a Petr Adler.Jan Werich byl výjimečnou osobností, kterou není třeba dlouze představovat. Oblíbený herec, dramatik a filmový scenárista tvořil společně se svými nejbližšími kolegy, Jiřím Voskovcem a Jaroslavem Ježkem, výraznou autorskou trojici. Mezi světovými válkami byli srdcem i tvářemi Osvobozeného divadla a představiteli divadelní avantgardy. Na počátku roku 1939 emigroval Werich s Voskovcem do Ameriky. Po návratu do vlasti v roce 1946 se pokusili navázat na tradici Osvobozeného divadla a založili Divadlo V+W. Werich ztvárnil také mnoho rolí v televizních inscenacích, které se díky němu staly nezapomenutelnými. Zemřel v roce 1980 v Praze.
