The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah - Benjamin Zephaniah
Benjamin Zephaniah, who has travelled the world for his art and his humanitarianism, now tells the one story that encompasses it all: the story of his life. In the early 1980s when punks and Rastas were on the streets protesting about unemployment, homelessness and the National Front, Benjamin s poetry could be heard at demonstrations, outside police stations and on the dance floor. His mission was to take poetry everywhere, and to popularise it by reaching people who didn t read books. His poetry was political, musical, radical and relevant. By the early 1990s, Benjamin had performed on every continent in the world (a feat which he achieved in only one year) and he hasn t stopped performing and touring since. Nelson Mandela, after hearing Benjamin s tribute to him while he was in prison, requested an introduction to the poet that grew into a lifelong relationship, inspiring Benjamin s work with children in South Africa. Benjamin would also go on to be the first artist to record with The Wailers after the death of Bob Marley in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela. The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah is a truly extraordinary life story which celebrates the power of poetry and the importance of pushing boundaries with the arts.

Why This World - Benjamin Moser
That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector is one of the most popular but least understood of Latin American writers, and now in Why this World, after years of research on three continents, drawing on previously unknown manuscripts and dozens of interviews, Benjamin Moser demonstrates how Lispector s development as a writer was directly connected to the story of her turbulent life. Born in the nightmarish landscape of post-World War I Ukraine, Clarice became, virtually from adolescence, a person whose beauty, genius, and eccentricity intrigued Brazil. Why This World tells how this precocious girl, through long exile abroad and difficult personal struggles, matured into a great writer, and asserts, for the first time, the deep roots in the Jewish mystical tradition that make her the true heir to Kafka as well as the unlikely author of perhaps the greatest spiritual autobiography of the twentieth century. From Chechelnik to Recife, from Naples and Bern to Washington and Rio de Janeiro, Why This World strips away the mythology surrounding this extraordinary figure and shows how Clarice Lispector transformed one woman s struggles into a universally resonant art.Benjamin Moser is the New Books columnist of Harper s Magazine. He was born in Houston in 1976 and currently lives in the Netherlands. He is a contributor to the The New York Review of Books, and he has written for Conde Nast Traveler and Newsweek, as well as many other publications.

The Upside-Down World - Benjamin Moser
The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer turns his eye to the seventeenth-century Dutch Golden Age Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums. Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments in the history of human creativity, the Dutch Golden Age.As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Through their art, he got to know their country, too: from Pieter Saenredam s translucent churches to Paulus Potter s muddy barnyards, and from Pieter de Hooch s cozy hearths to Jacob van Ruisdael s tragic trees. Over the years, Moser found himself on increasingly intimate terms with these centuries-dead artists, and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions he was.Why do we make art? What is art, anyway - and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail?The Upside-Down World is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. It is a brilliant, colourful and learned book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries. It shows us art, and artists, as we have never seen them before.

World of Warcraft: Šaman - Paul Benjamin, Rocio Zucchiová
BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT hrdě představuje další zemí otřásající svazek ze série o povoláních ve World of Warcraft: Šaman! Zemětřesení. Ohně. Záplavy. Vichřice. Mezi azerothskými duchy elementů panuje chaos. Jedinou naději, jak jim zabránit, aby rozervali svět na kusy, představují šamani jako Muln Earthfury a ostatní členové utajovaného Zeměkruhu. Avšak když Mulnovy pokusy o ukonejšení elementů selže, chaotičtí duchové dál bez zábran pokračují ve svém řádění. Zeměkruhem se šíří pochybnosti a vyvstane znepokojující otázka: ztratili šamani svou schopnost rozmlouvat s elementy? Odpověď přichází v podobě příchodu Šotoy, tajuplného taurena, který ovládá elementy nikoli skrze uctivé prosby, nýbrž důraznými rozkazy. Jeho mocný druh šamanismu se selhávajícímu Zeměkruhu na první pohled jeví jako dar z nebes, avšak přijetí Šotoových způsobů by znamenalo vzdát se přesvědčení, která organizaci dlouhou dobu řídila. Zatímco se svět kolem nich hroutí, musí se Muln a Zeměkruh rozhodnout, zda je Šotoa hrdina… nebo kacíř. World of Warcraft: Šaman napsal Paul Benjamin (StarCraft: Frontline) a nakreslila Rocio Zucchiová (World of Warcraft: Rytíř smrti). Dílo prozkoumává bohatou tradici Zeměkruhu a stoické úsilí šamanů zklidnit vzpurné azerothské elementály – stejné pravěké síly, které sehrály zásadní roli v herním datadisku World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Wicked [Movie tie-in #2] - Gregory Maguire
The #1 New York Times bestseller and basis for the international phenomenon that is Wicked: The Musical and the smash hit movie series. Look for part one of Wicked the movie, now streaming, and the stunning conclusion Wicked: For Good, in theaters now.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film. In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination.Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skinno easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard s secret police are everywhere. Animalsthose creatures with voices, souls, and mindsare threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animalseven if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same nameone of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It s an astonishing achievement. Phillip PullmanGregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well.-- Kristen ChenowethIt s a staggering feat of wordcraft, made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else. Maguire s larger triumph here is twofold: First, in Elphaba, he has created (re-created? renovated?) one of the great heroines in fantasy literature: a fiery, passionate, unforgettable and ultimately tragic figure. Second, Wicked is the best fantasy novel of ideas I ve read since Mervyn Peake s Gormenghast or Frank Herbert s Dune. Would that all books with this much innate consumer appeal were also this good. And vice versa. Los Angeles Times

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Revealing the breadth of F. Scott Fitzgerald s gift for the short story form, this Penguin Classics edition of The Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories spans multiple genres and styles to dazzling effect.Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including The Cut-Glass Bowl in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family s misfortunes, The Four Fists where a man s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of May Day - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , originally published in 1922, was made into a major motion picture directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the great American novel . In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed the first American Flapper , and their traumatic marriage and Zelda s gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon. After his death The New York Times said of him that in fact and in the literary sense he created a generation .If you enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you might like Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby, also available in Penguin Classics.

Now appearing as a 50-year-old, he falls in love with Hildegarde Moncrief, the young daughter of a decorated general. The two marry, but as Benjamin grows younger he begins to dream of a life away from an aging wife and the boredoms of domesticity. In 1898, he enlists in the Spanish-American War and embarks on an eventful military career. When he returns home to his wife and business, he finds himself restless once more, longing again for the freedom and excitement of a youth he was denied. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a story of fantasy and romance that illuminates the dignities and indignities of aging while raising valuable questions about the normal trajectory of life for modern Americans..Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Bury Your Friends - Benjamin Dean
From bestselling and award-winning author Benjamin Dean comes a dark, decadent and deadly YA thriller following the perfectly privileged lives of spoilt rich kids and the messy, murderous things they #39;ll do to get what they want. For fans of How to Die Famous, One of Us is Lying and Five Survive. Ten friends. One night. A classy celebration. A deranged killer. Lots of murder.

But for one night only, the ten friends will have a low-key celebration – after all, it’s how the upper echelons begin their futures. But things take a sinister turn when they find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer making one simple demand: every hour, one person must be evicted from the house or someone inside the house will die. With nowhere to run and a killer on the prowl, choices must be made. But, as people inside the house start to go missing too, it soon becomes clear that nobody is safe.

Wicked Collector
The #1 New York Times bestseller and basis for the blockbuster musical and smash hit movie series, Wicked and Wicked: For Good, in a deluxe hardback edition with green stained edges, a ribbon marker, and an elegant foil-stamped cover.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film. In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skinno easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard s secret police are everywhere. Animalsthose creatures with voices, souls, and mindsare threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animalseven if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same nameone of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch. Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It s an astonishing achievement. Phillip PullmanGregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well.-- Kristen ChenowethIt s a staggering feat of wordcraft, made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else. Maguire s larger triumph here is twofold: First, in Elphaba, he has created (re-created? renovated?) one of the great heroines in fantasy literature: a fiery, passionate, unforgettable and ultimately tragic figure. Second, Wicked is the best fantasy novel of ideas I ve read since Mervyn Peake s Gormenghast or Frank Herbert s Dune. Would that all books with this much innate consumer appeal were also this good. And vice versa. Los Angeles Times

Nikdy se nevzdávej - Benjamin Ferencz - audiokniha
Audiokniha: 9 lekcí pro naplněný život. Inspirativní životní příběh stoletého Bena Ferencze, vyšetřovatele nacistických válečných zločinů, známého jako „žalobce zla“. Narodil se krátce po skončení první světové války v Transylvánii, v jednom z nejchudších koutů tehdejší Evropy na hranicích Rumunska a Maďarska. Ještě mu nebyl ani rok, když s ním rodiče opustili rodný dům a odešli do Ameriky. Do školy jej vzali až v osmi letech, předtím vyrůstal jako dítě manhattanských ulic, jeho rodiče se navíc v New Yorku rozvedli. Benjamin Ferencz zkrátka měl jen mizivé předpoklady k tomu, aby někdy získal jakékoliv vyšší vzdělání. A přesto – shodou příznivých okolností se stalo, že Benjamina přijali na střední školu a díky dobrým studijním výsledkům později i na vysokou. Jeho píle mu následně umožnila dokonce absolvovat právnická studia na Harvardu. Odtud už byl jen krůček k tomu, aby se jako voják americké armády dostal na sklonku druhé světové války k vyšetřování německých válečných zločinů. Když se s osobností Bena Ferencze seznámila před nedávnem reportérka listu Guardian Nadia Khomamiová, rozhodla se s ním udělat interview. Z původního nápadu nakonec vzešla celá kniha rozhovorů. V nich Ferencz nejen mapuje celý svůj – dnes už více než stoletý – život, ale přináší také celou řadu inspirativních rad pro každého, kdo přemýšlí nad tím, jak naložit s vlastním životem. Autor: Benjamin Ferencz se narodil roku 1920, vystudoval práva na Harvardově univerzitě a od téže instituce se mu v roce 2014 dostalo také ocenění v podobě Medaile svobody. Roku 1947 působil jako prokurátor v norimberských procesech, po válce usiloval o navrácení majetku lidem, kteří přežili holokaust, účastnil se jednání o repatriacích mezi Izraelem a západním Německem a měl zásadní podíl na zřízení Mezinárodního trestního soudu.
