Matthew Dunbar, eldest of five brothers, is on a journey to find them all. Only then can he tell the astonishing story of his family, rocked by tragedy and a long-buried secret. He will learn of a mother who crosses continents for a new home; of a father searching for love in the keys of an old piano; and, finally, of a brother named Clay, who will make the most challenging journey of them all, and change their lives for ever. An epic and spellbinding quest for redemption and greatness, Bridge of Clay will take you to many places, and will ask two eternal questions: where are you going, and who will you be when you get there ...?

Ústředním tématem Zusakovy knihy je důležitost a křehkost vztahů mezi nejbližšími lidmi: mezi sourozenci, mezi rodiči a dětmi. Clay a jeho čtyři bratři tvoří soudržnou partu, ale Clay si jednoho dne uvědomí, že bude muset z party vystoupit, i kdyby to mělo znamenat, že se do ní nikdy nebude moci vrátit. Přesto to udělá, aby se pokusil napravit staré křivdy a navázat přervaná pouta. Kniha má rafinovanou stavbu, autor nehodlá hned odkrýt karty, vrací se do minulosti a zas přeskakuje zpět, takže se čtenář jen postupně a v náznacích dozvídá, co pětici bratrů tak stmelilo, co je odtrhlo od jejich rodičů a a co musí a chce Clay podniknout: vystavět most, po kterém by k sobě mohli přejít ti, kdo byli z různých důvodů odloučeni. Ohromující. Úžasná, náročná, hluboce dojemná. Clayův most se jako v kouzelnickém triku odvíjí od konce, autor dovedně odvádí pozornost od toho, co se skutečně děje, a úloha všech těch úkroků se odhalí, teprve když je celá eskamotáž úspěšně ukončena. - Wall Street Journal Markus Zusak sepsal nezapomenutelnou ságu. - US Weekly Zusak ve svém komplexním vyprávění přeskakuje v čase, z místa na místo, z jednoho břehu oceánu na druhý, a vykresluje živý portrét bratrů, kteří ...

Cameron je z trojice bratrů Wolfových ten nejméně nápadný, není ani fotbalová hvězda jako Steve, ani hezký a okouzlující jako Ruben, který střídá holky jako na běžícím pásu. Cameron jenom sní, že jednoho dne potká dívku, do které se zamiluje a ona do něho. Ale třeba to bude právě Rubenův poslední objev, Octavie s krásnýma zelenýma očima. Jenže která normální holka by chtěla takového lůzra, jako je Cameron? A přece: Octavie je jiná než ostatní Rubenovy lásky a možná Camerona chtít bude... A najednou jsou z obou bratrů zase rivalové... Markus Zusak se narodil roku 1975 jako nejmladší ze čtyř dětí v imigrantské rodině usazené v Sydney. Jeho matka byla Němka a otec Rakušan. První knihou, kterou na sebe upoutal pozornost kritiky i čtenářů, byl Posel (2002). Získal za něj mimo jiné cenu The Children's Book Council of Australia za rok 2003 a Německou cenu za literaturu pro mládež 2007. V roce 2005 vyšlo jeho zatím nejslavnější dílo Zlodějka knih (česky Argo, 2009). K jeho napsání Zusaka inspirovalo vyprávění prarodičů o bombardování Mnichova za druhé světové války a o holocaustu. Román se stal mezinárodním bestselerem.

As I Crossed a Bridge of Dreams is a unique autobiography in which the anonymous writer known as Lady Sarashina intersperses personal reflections, anecdotes and lyrical poems with accounts of her travels and evocative descriptions of the Japanese countryside. Born in AD 1008, Lady Sarashina felt an acute sense of melancholy that led her to withdraw into the more congenial realm of the imagination - this deeply introspective work presents her vision of the world. While barely alluding to certain aspects of her life such as marriage, she illuminates her pilgrimages to temples and mystical dreams in exquisite prose, describing a profound emotional journey that can be read as a metaphor for life itself.

“If anyone might be profitably compared to Clarice Lispector, it might well be Maria Gabriela Llansol.

With three quarters of the Mediterranean’s coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta.This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context.

It is a widely held view that Picasso's creative work received a fresh impetus with each new muse in his life. This volume does not discuss his biography or his stylistic phases, however, but pays tribute to the individual fates of the women who left their mark on the artist's life. Personalities like Francoise Gilot and Dora Maar are among those whose entire life and creative work are acknowledged, not just the years they spent at Picasso's side.The book sketches the life of ten women in the life of the Spanish artist. Picasso was close to his mother throughout her life and chose her maiden name as his artist's name. When he wanted to marry the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova, she warned him that he would remain married to painting throughout his life. They separated in 1935; the reason was his young muse Marie-Therese Walter, who was also soon deposed by Dora Maar. Following various separations, women like the young artist Francoise Gilot also disappeared from Picasso's canvases, but did not vanish entirely. This book pays tribute to them all.Presented women:Dona Maria Picasso y Lopez (Picasso's mother), Maria Dolores Ruiz Picasso (Picasso's sister), Gertrude Stein, Fernande Olivier, Eva Gouel (Marcelle ...

Every time we make something with clay, we engage with the timelines that are in the material itself, whether it was dug from a clifftop, riverbed or pit. In firing what we make, we bestow the material with function, meaning, or feeling, and anchor its form in a human present...

20 years later The Music of the Primes is still a groundbreaking popular science book. This new edition features updates from the author and a foreword by actor and director, Simon McBurney.In 1859, the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin Academy which would change the history of mathematics. The subject was the strange and enigmatic prime numbers. At the heart of the presentation was an idea, a hypothesis, that Riemann had not yet proved but which has come to obsess mathematicians for the last 150 years. No one knows if he ever found the proof; on his death his housekeeper burnt all the personal papers. Today, the hypothesis is considered by many the holy grail of mathematics but has significance far beyond maths.At the of the heart of the enigma is a prize much larger than just intellectual glory; not only is there a $1 million reward for the person who can crack it but also is the key to all banking and e-commerce security. It is the idea that brings together many other areas of science and has ramifications within Quantum Mechanics, Chaos Theory and the future of computing.In ''The Music of the Primes'', one ...

In the small Bosnian town of Visegrad the stone bridge of the novel''s title, built in the sixteenth century on the instruction of a grand vezir, bears witness to three centuries of conflict. Visegrad has long been a bone of contention between the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, but the bridge survives unscathed until 1914, when the collision of forces in the Balkans triggers the outbreak of World War I.The bridge spans generations, nationalities and creeds, silent testament to the lives played out on it. Radisav, a workman, tries to hinder its construction and is impaled alive on its highest point; beautiful Fata leaps from its parapet to escape an arranged marriage; Milan, inveterate gamble, risks all in one last game on it. With humour and compassion, Andric chronicles the lives of Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox Christians unable to reconcile their disparate loyalties.

An engaging reassessment of the celebrated essayist and his relevance to contemporary readersMore than two centuries after his birth, Ralph Waldo Emerson remains one of the presiding spirits in American culture. Yet his reputation as the starry-eyed prophet of self-reliance has obscured a much more complicated figure who spent a lifetime wrestling with injustice, philosophy, art, desire, and suffering. James Marcus introduces readers to this Emerson, a writer of self-interrogating genius whose visionary flights are always grounded in Yankee shrewdness. This Emerson is a rebel. He is also a lover, a friend, a husband, and a father. Having declared his great topic to be “the infinitude of the private man,” he is nonetheless an intensely social being who develops Transcendentalism in the company of Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott, and Theodore Parker. And although he resists political activism early on—hoping instead for a revolution in consciousness—the burning issue of slavery ultimately transforms him from cloistered metaphysician to fiery abolitionist. Drawing on telling episodes from Emerson’s life alongside landmark essays like “Self-Reliance,” “Experience,” and “Circles,” Glad to the Brink of Fear reveals how Emerson shares our preoccupations with fate and freedom, race and inequality, love and grief. It shows, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A chronicle of the diversity and wealth of cultures, predominantly from Eastern Europe, that have played a formative role in shaping contemporary Europe but now risk being forgotten. A Herodotus of Mitteleuropa, cultural historian Karl-Markus Gauß is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the breadth and complexities of cultures and societies in Europe before, during, and after its decades of division in the twentieth century. In this book, Gauß takes his readers on a thirteen-station journey across Europe. From Brussels to Istanbul and from Naples to Opole, Gauß weaves a Sebaldian web of connection and coincidence into a hybrid cultural history. Significantly, Gauß’s metropoles are not the well-trodden, thoroughly explored, and minutely documented megalopolises and cultural capitals that have been mythologized by writers great and small. There are no visits to Berlin, Paris, Rome, or Madrid, although he does make time for Vienna, where he looks not for imperial remnants, but for traces of genius unrecognized by most. Gauß’s lodestars are small but cosmopolitan towns on the periphery, such as Slaghenaufi, Vacaresti, Fontevraud, Dragatus, Vrzdenec, and Sélestat. In these far-flung towns, Gauß assembles a canon of overlooked humanists, expelled or extinguished by political and historical forces that swept the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

'An epic account … myth-busting … Bull writes with knightly brio and packs a great deal of local and global history into his authoritative book’ Pratinav Anil, The TimesA major new history of the epic siege of the island fortress of MaltaEven as the great siege began it was understood by both sides to be an epic – a potentially decisive encounter between an uneasy assortment of soldiers, native Maltese, adventurers and Knights Hospitaller on a strategically crucial but near waterless island and a vast, seemingly all-powerful Ottoman armada. With three quarters of the Mediterranean’s coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta. This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context. While since mistakenly recast as a climactic battle between the West and the East, it was also much more interesting and nuanced than that – both sides had many other interests and priorities beyond Malta. Süleyman the Magnificent had conquered and subsumed regions from Hungary to the Persian Gulf; Philip II was building an empire in America and Asia. Drawing on a ... Unknown localization key: "more"
