Three classic titles from the Everyman Chess Starting Out Series in one volume. Starting Out: Queen''s Gambit Accepted by Alexander Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik; Starting Out: Queen''s Gambit Declined by Neil McDonald; Starting: Slav Semi Slav by Glenn Flear. The Queen''s Gambit Accepted (QGA) is Black''s simplest way of dealing with one of White''s most fashionable openings, the Queen''s Gambit. Black grabs the gambit pawn and thus refuses to succumb to the passive positions so typical of the Queen''s Gambit Declined. This direct and uncompromising way of playing gives rise to dynamic positions where both sides have excellent chances to play for the win. It''s no surprise that the QGA has attracted many high-class advocates, including Garry Kasparov and Vishy Anand. The Queen''s Gambit Declined is an opening of great historical importance and Black''s fundamental answer to 1 d4. From the very first move Black obtains a firm foothold in the centre, something that White finds extremely hard to undermine. Indeed, Black often bases his entire strategy around this control. The soundness of the Queen''s Gambit Declined has never been in question, and its supporters at the highest level include a long list of Grandmasters headed by Kasparov, Kramnik, Karpov ...

First published in Russian in 2004 and now available in English for the first time, The Lubyanka Gambit is a classic work investigating the darkest side of chess history in the Soviet Union.

It describes the careers and life stories, based on archival documents and witness testimony, of Soviet chess composers, players and famous amateurs who were repressed by the Soviet authorities, ending up either executed or sent to the Gulag.

For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia''s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist.

In Preface to Paradise Lost, C. S. Lewis presents an illuminating reflection on John Milton''s Paradise Lost, the seminal classic that profoundly influenced Christian thought as well as Lewis''s own work.Lewis a revered scholar and professor of literature closely examines the style, content, structure, and themes of Milton''s masterpiece, a retelling of the biblical story from the Fall of Humankind, Satan''s temptation, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.

David Lewis (1941-2001) was a celebrated and influential figure in analytic philosophy. When Lewis died, he left behind a large body of unpublished notes, manuscripts, and letters. This volume contains two longer manuscripts which Lewis had originally intended to turn into books, and thirty-one shorter items. The longer manuscripts are ''The Paradoxes of Time Travel'', his David Gavin Young Lectures at the University of Adelaide, and ''Confirmation Theory'', which is based on a graduate course on probability and logic that he gave at UCLA. Lewis''s described his purposes in ''The Paradoxes of Time Travel'' as being, `(1) to solve a philosophical problem hitherto largely ignored or casually mis-solved by philosophers […]; (2) to introduce the layman to various topics in metaphysics, since our problem turns out to connect with many more familiar ones; and (3) to show of several of my favorite doctrines and methods in metaphysics''. By contrast, ''Confirmation Theory'' is a technical work in which Lewis aimed to present in a unified fashion what he considered to be the best from competing theories of confirmation. Lewis described the work as ''Mathematically self-contained, with proofs for the major theorems; but the mathematics is kept down to hairy high-school algebra''. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audioknihu Dámský gambit napsal autor: Walter Tevis, čte: Jana Plodková. Celková stopáž: 11 hodin, 53 minut. Je načase, aby šachové mistrovství USA vyhrála žena. Aby ho vyhrála ONA.Pro holky prý tahle hra není. Jenže ji do ní zasvětil údržbář ze sirotčince, kde ji americký stát mocně dopoval sedativy, aby nevyčuhovala. Beth Harmonová, zázračné dítě z Kentucky, je totiž intuitivní šachistka a leckoho rozdrtí ještě dřív, než dojde na koncovku. Tak vyhraje i první turnaj – nicméně vrcholový šach a reálný život jsou jinde. Když se dívka na prahu puberty konečně domůže lepšího zázemí i pozoruhodně zanedbané pěstounky, stoupá na americkém žebříčku stále výš, byť dlouho nevlastní cvičnou šachovnici a tahy si představuje pouze mentálně. Skvělá průprava, ale taky je třeba učit se prohrávat a vycházet s okolím, jež na prahu 60. let není emancipaci zrovna nakloněno. To pro něj Beth není dost dobrá? Nebo se to děje proto, že je nejlepší? A ke všem těm mužským podivínům propadlým šachové vášni musí navíc porazit jednu sokyni, která jí kříží plány.Předloha sedmidílné minisérie Netflixu. Nejoblíbenější román černého koně americké fantastiky si i po letech podmaňuje všechny generace nehledě na jejich šachové znalosti. Umění správně táhnout se přece hodí denně.

Novela Dámský gambit byla napsána již na počátku normalizace, ale ve svobodné zemi vychází česky poprvé. Je to text erotický i mytologický i hravý. Jde v něm o vraždu a kradenou identitu, ve hře je láska, plod a potrat, touha po milostném zakořenění, splývání stejně drastické jako odmítání, přelézání z těla na tělo, vznášení a padání, řeč nad hrobem, s mrtvým. Ano, jsme blízko hrobu i milostného aktu, lásky i vraždy, grotesky i strašidelné pohádky. (čerpáno z doslovu Marie Langerové).

The perfect gift for nature lovers, in this beautifully illustrated small format hardback, John Lewis-Stempel delves into the cuckoo's unique behaviour and captivating role in our cultural imagination, in folklore, myth, literature and music, turning his exquisite prose to one of the strangest tales of the countryside. ---Is there any bird more mysterious than the cuckoo?It is invariably heard, and not seen. And if seen, it is mistaken for a sharp-winged hawk. The female cuckoo - by a trick that borders on alchemy - is able to disguise its egg as another's. In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera. But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note 'cuk-koo' unmistakable as it sounds across the country. In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature's greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird. ---‘That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.’ – Country Life‘His immense, patient powers of observation – along with a flair for the anthropomorphic – mean ...

Flip the script on how you think about UGLY--what it means, what it is, and how to reclaim it to Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself in an uglified world.Blending joyful self-help magic with incisive social analysis and personal narrative, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis empowers readers to heal, connect, and revolt against uglification.Uglification is "ugly" weaponized: a tool, ideology, and type of oppression that designates some bodies as more or less worthy of love, respect, access, and dignity. It defines who''s accepted in what spaces, which identities are marginalized, and how we all move through the world--and is part and parcel of systems like white supremacy, ableism, sizeism, sexism, and queer- and transphobia. Here, Lewis takes on uglification, showing us how reclaiming UGLY is a subversive act that roars an unapologetic "yes!" to joy, healing, and community-building in a world that''s engineered to hold us back.Lewis asks us to go beyond analysis, inviting us to boldly perform UGLY as an act of rebellion, liberation, and radical self-love. Through self-help exercises, reflective meditations, and lesson plans, Lewis moves us closer to a collective liberation that takes back what society tells us is ugly and taboo...and teaches us to deconstruct what we''ve told ourselves ...

One of C. S. Lewis' works of fiction, or more specifically allegory, this book is clearly modelled upon Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, as Lewis cleverly satirizes different sections of the Church. Written within a year of Lewis' conversion, it characterises the various theological and temperamental leanings of the time. This brilliant and biting allegory has lost none of its freshness and theological profundity, as the pilgrims pass the City of Claptrap, the tableland of the High Anglicans and the far-off marsh of the Theosophists. As ever, Lewis says memorably in brief what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.
