Audiokniha: Od autorů úspěšného blogu Running2.cz. Jsou dva a jsou sví. Ona je Býk a on Beran. Ona dámička, která odjakživa nesnášela běhání i soutěžení. On kluk, co běhal každý den do školy a taky závodil. Ona byla odjakživa samá ruka, samá noha a snědla toho víc než všichni chlapi v rodině. On se sportem praštil v pubertě a postupně se projedl k váze menšího slona, takže bez zadýchání nevyšel ani schody. Stačila jedna pracovní porada v redakci a svět se jim obrátil naruby. Soňa jako mávnutím kouzelného proutku vyměnila podpatky, sukně a parfémy za tenisky a zpocená trička. A zanedlouho se účastnila závodů, nad kterými zůstává rozum stát. Michal potřeboval zhubnout, a tak se k běhu zase vrátil. Šlo to pomalu, ale každý krůček a shozený gram ho posouval dále k cíli – k maratonům, ultraběhům, a nakonec až k minus čtyřiceti kilům. A pak se na jednom závodě potkali. Zajímá vás, proč Michal po půlmaratonu oněměl, jaké byly jejich společné tréninky a co to znamená mít svatbu na největším běžeckém závodě u nás? Začtěte se do příběhu manželů v běhu, motivátorů a autorů úspěšného běžeckého blogu Running2! Soňa Hrabec Kotulková (* 1976) sice vystudovala střední umělecko-průmyslovou školu v Ostravě a pedagogickou fakultu s oborem učitelství pro ZUŠ v Olomouci, ale její profesní život ji zavedl někam úplně jinam – píše a pracuje jako redaktorka na volné noze. Jejím oborem jsou kosmetické, sportovní a lifestylové články. Dlouhá léta byla součástí redakce lifestylového časopisu pro ženy Marianne. Běhat sice začala úplnou náhodou, avšak ta jí naprosto obrátila život naruby – našla tak svůj velký koníček, životní lásku i akční styl života. Michal Hrabec (* 1977) byl do svých 14 let nadějným sportovcem, pak ale přišel zlom, a ač se stále považoval za sportovce, stal se z něj typický manažer, kterého více zajímají čísla než vlastní život. Až zdravotní problémy ho donutily znovu se hýbat a začít si plnit své sny. To byl teprve začátek cesty. Cesty, která ho přivedla k jeho lásce a změnila i pohled na vše kolem. Nyní Michal pracuje jako redaktor, konzultant a řídí i svůj zdravotnický start-up. Oba milují cestování, hory a ultra běžecké výzvy. O všem, a hlavně o běhání, píšou už několik let úspěšný běžecký blog Running2.cz. Michaela Maurerová (* 1979) je česká moderátorka a herečka. Pochází z Havířova, od tří let žije v Praze. Poprvé se před kameru postavila už v deseti letech, a to ve filmu Karla Kachyni Poslední motýl. Vystudovala gymnázium a hned poté DAMU. Během studia se věnovala moderování pořadů pro mládež Letadlo a Tykadlo, které vysílala Česká televize, a uvádění hudebních hitparád na TV Prima a Óčko. Přispívala svými články do poradny časopisu Bravo Girl. Po absolutoriu na DAMU byla v angažmá v Městských divadlech pražských, hostovala v divadle Bez zábradlí a v Divadle na Vinohradech. Objevila se v mnoha seriálech i filmech, mezi její nejznámější role patří kadeřnice Digi ze seriálu Ulice nebo služebná Jarka v seriálu První republika. Michaela Maurerová se dlouhodobě věnuje charitativní činnosti, aktivně podporuje děti z dětských domovů. Je matkou tří dětí. Václav Neužil (* 1979) po studiích na JAMU působil v brněnském divadle Polárka, v Mahenově činohře Národního divadla v Brně, Divadle v 7 a půl a v HaDivadle.

2023 Paris Book Festival Winner. 2023 New England Book Festival Winner. He''s one of the most well-known figures in cultures around the world, etched into stained glass, painted in frescoes, even caricatured as standing at the gates of heaven with a long white beard and keys in hand. But long before he was portrayed as a venerated and untouchable figure, Peter was simply known as Simon, a twenty-something fisherman in a far-flung Jewish province controlled by the Roman Empire. Loyal and faithful, impetuous and passionate, Simon''s quiet life is upended by the arrival of a man called Jesus of Nazareth, rumoured to be the long-awaited Messiah who would rescue the Jewish people from oppression. When Simon meets Jesus, the mysterious man tells him, ''You will be Peter,'' a prophetic statement that would slowly transform Simon''s life. Eager to be free of the Romans, Simon joins Jesus in hopes that he can guard this leader who will, undoubtedly, build an army to challenge Rome. But as Simon waits for the army to form, he watches Jesus show a compassion for others Simon has never seen before. The miracles Jesus performs - healing the sick, feeding crowds of thousands - show not a display of military might, but of service and love. Real, relatable and impeccably researched, YOU WILL BE PETER draws on the four Gospel accounts to weave Simon Peter''s story into one seamless tapestry. Readers get a front-row seat to Simon''s three-year walk with Jesus, as Simon watches the Son of Man feed the hungry, raise the dead, upend the status quo and challenge the elite during one of world history''s most pivotal seasons. In perhaps one of the greatest miracles, we can see ourselves in Simon, this ordinary man Jesus chose to accompany Him. Simon wasn''t well-educated, but he was faithful and headstrong. Though he could rush to judgment and use a foul word from time to time, he was the kind of friend who loved fiercely and was doggedly loyal - until he wasn''t. Although he failed, Simon wasn''t cast away from Jesus'' mission. In fact, his failures and subsequent redemption made him a more empathetic and capable rock upon whom the Church was built. With storytelling artistry that transports readers to the first-century world, with the sights, sounds, and smells of that time, YOU WILL BE PETER shares an age-old story told from a new set of eyes: it''s possible for one ordinary person, however unlikely, to change the world forever.

Congrats Dude! Your go-to-guy-guide to being the greatest dad before her due-date. There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy - this book''s here to help you avoid all(most) of them. And here''s your first hint: Focus on what you can be doing for her rather than what''s happening to her. She''s pregnant. She knows that. You know that. And her 152 baby books tell her exactly what she can expect. Your job is to learn what you can do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room to make the next nine months go as smoothly as possible. That''s where John Pfeiffer steps in. Like any good coach, he''s been through it. He''s dealt with the morning sickness and doctor visits, painting the baby''s nursery and packing the overnight bag, choosing a name, hospital, and the color of the car-seat cover. All the while he remained positive and responsive - there with a "You''re beautiful" when necessary - but assertive during the decision-making process (he didn''t want to wind up with a kid named Percy). And now it''s your turn. She might be having the baby, but you have plenty of responsibilities.

A “one-sitting-read" (Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author) about two very different sisters, and a love letter to childhood, growing up, and the power of imagination—from the bestselling author of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead and Interesting Facts About Space.Sigrid hates working at the Dollar Pal but having always resisted the idea of growing up into the trappings of adulthood, she did not graduate high school, preferring to roam the streets of her small town with her best friend Greta, the only person in the world who ever understood her. Her older sister Margit is baffled and frustrated by Sigrid’s inability to conform to the expectations of polite society. But Sigrid’s detachment veils a deeper turmoil and sensitivity. She’s haunted by the pains of her past—from pretending her parents were swamp monsters when they shook the floorboards with their violent arguments to grappling with losing Greta’s friendship to the opioid epidemic ravaging their town. As Margit sets out to understand Sigrid and the secrets she has hidden, both sisters, in their own time and way, discover that reigniting their shared childhood imagination is the only way forward. “A must read” (Haley Jakobson, New York Times Editor’s Choice author), We Could Be Rats is an unforgettable story of two sisters finding their way back to each other, and a celebration of that transcendent, unshakable bond.

'This is not a story about work or precarity. I am trying, late in the evening, to say something about love, which for many of us is not separable from the other shit.' All This Could be Different introduces us to Sneha. A recent college graduate freshly arrived in Milwaukee, she occupies her days with rote, stressful work as a young consultant for a battery production corporation. She is, as her boss reminds her, a "contractor, no benefits." Her nights are spent ordering furniture off the internet, trying out the newfangled invention of dating apps, and avoiding confrontation with the terrifying property manager who lives below her. But the rewards are bountiful: the vertigo of young life in a new and expanding city, a budding friendship with the charismatic and freewheeling Tig, a quiet obsession with Marina, a ballet dancer who she runs into again and again, and the ability to send money by wire transfer to her parents two oceans away in India. Piece by piece she gathers and nurtures the fragments of a good life. But then the walls start to creep in...

Fame is the only thing worth having. Love is temporary brain damage. Or so thinks Henry Sinclair, a failing psychiatrist, whose career-breaking discovery has been pinched by a supervisor smelling of nipple grease and hot-dog brine. An emotional miser and manipulator par excellence, desperate for the recognition he’s certain his genius deserves, Henry claws his way into the limelight by transforming his girlfriend—a singer-in-ascendance, beloved for her cathartically raw performances—into a drug experiment. As he systematically works to reinforce feelings of worthlessness while at the same time feeding off Astrid’s fame, and as Astrid collapses deeper into dependence, what emerges is a two-sided toxic relationship: the bullying instincts of a man shrunk by an industry where bullying is currency, and the peculiar strength of a star more comfortable offloading her talent than owning her brilliance. Pinging between their apartment in New York (where they watch endless episodes of The Sopranos), a nudist campsite in Greece (where the tantalizingly handsome Gigi thwacks octopuses into the sand), and a celebrity rehab facility in Paris (founded by the cassock-wearing and sex-scandal plagued ‘artist’ Hypno Ray), What You Could Have Won is a relationship born of regrettable events, and a novel about female resilience in the face of social control.

Our Band Could Be Your Life is the never-before-told story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan Eighties -- when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations, and other subversives re-energized American rock with punk''s do-it-yourself credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging, and immensely influential. This sweeping chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing, and faith is an indie rock classic in its own right.The bands profiled include:- Sonic Youth- Black Flag- The Replacements- Minutemen- Husker Du- Minor Threat- Mission of Burma- Butthole Surfers- Big Black- Fugazi- Mudhoney- Beat Happening- Dinosaur Jr.
