why be happy when you could be normal jeanette wintersonova

The shocking, heart-breaking - and often very funny - true story behind Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.In 1985 Jeanette Winterson''s first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It was Jeanette''s version of the story of a terraced house in Accrington, an adopted child, and the thwarted giantess Mrs Winterson. It was a cover story, a painful past written over and repainted. It was a story of survival.This book is that story''s the silent twin. It is full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.‘Unforgettable… It’s the best book I have ever read about the cost of growing up’ Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN''S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

They’ve shared stolen kisses and romantic promises. But Iran is a dangerous place for two girls in love--Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned, even executed. So they carry on in secret until Nasrin’s parents suddenly announce that they’ve arranged for her marriage. Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution: homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman’s body is seen as nature’s mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible. Sahar will never be able to love Nasrin in the body she wants to be loved in without risking their lives, but is saving their love worth sacrificing her true self?

V pořadí třetí román přední současné britské prozaičky je přímo naditý podivuhodnými věcmi a ději. Splétá síť pronikavých a barvitých příběhů, které střídavě vypráví výstřední rabelaisovská obryně - Psí žena neboli Psářka - a její éterický nevlastní syn Jordán. Oba žijí na slizkém břehu Temže v Londýně 17. století. Wintersonová si však zasazením příběhu do historie pouze vytvořila jisté vakuum, v němž čtenář dojde osvobození od možných předsudků vůči dějům a postavám. Román samozřejmě vypovídá o naší době; postava Psí ženy je zrcadlem, v němž se zračí zoufalý stav světa a lidí - obryně vypráví o obecných nectnostech s ohromující otevřeností až brutalitou a často na sebe bere roli soudkyně a vykonavatelky trestu.

Are you an authentic leader? Too many companies are managed not by leaders but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What would it take to replace these empty suits with real leaders--men and women who are confident in who they are and what they stand for and who truly inspire people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don''t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers'' hearts, minds, and souls. Authentic leaders are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behavior to respond effectively to changing contexts. In short, the authors present a powerful case: that it takes "being yourself, in context, with skill" to be a successful, authentic leader--and they show you how to do exactly that. In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy your unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: when to show emotion and when to withhold it, how to get close to followers while maintaining an appropriate role distance, and ...

Liam Gallagher tvořil s bráchou Noelem kostru jedné z největších kapel v britských dějinách. Oasis jsou ostrovní rockovou legendou, jejich album Be Here Now z roku 1997 bylo do listopadu 2015 s prodejem 424 tisíc kopií v týdnu po vydání nejlépe startujícím titulem v anglické historii. Média za kanálem La Manche dodnes sní o návratu Oasis, ten je však vzhledem k nevraživosti mezi oběma bratry, kteří se vzájemně nemohou vystát, velmi nepravděpodobný. Po rozpadu legendy si Liam založil vlastní kapelu, s Beady Eye ale na úspěch Oasis ani zdaleka nenavázal. Jeho kariéru restartovala až sólová tvorba, především skvělé albu As You Were z roku 2017.
