Leigh, Myself and I - Leigh Francis
''From humble beginnings to the top of the entertainment tree and everything in between! A beautiful book about a beautiful man'' Paddy McGuinness''Leigh is an artistic genius. This is a unique book'' Davina McCall''Funny, honest and utterly creative. This book is a lot like the man himself!'' Fearne CottonThis is the story of a little boy called Leigh Francis who became a naughty bear. And then a man called Keith Lemon, and also Avid Merrion and whoever else you may or may not know me as (but not Mick Hucknall). All this time behind the neckbrace, bandage or whatever costume I’ve worn, I was still just that little boy called Leigh Francis.From the moment I stepped out in front of the camera, I’ve always been in character. Now the time has come to lift the mask (literally) and reveal myself (not literally): from growing up in Leeds obsessed with TV, films, toys, clothes and dressing up as my favourite superhero,* to my wild adventures,** my first relationships*** and moving to London to pursue my dream of being silly and having a laugh. Oh, and there’s a bit about making it in the wonderful world of telly – the highs, the lows and everything in between.So here it is, my memoir! Expect a chuckle, a thoughtful pause and maybe even a tear or two. I can’t lie, I’m a little bit nervous about it as this isn’t like all the made-up stuff I’ve done in character – this is my story. A true story about Leigh.* Spider-Man** in the Cubs and Scouts*** with breakdancing and skateboarding

Wolfe claims he is from a coven that practices dark magic, making him one of the only people who can help her.But he refuses to let Tana's power rush into the sea, and instead teaches her his forbidden magic. A magic that makes her feel powerful. Alive.As the sea grows more violent, her coven loses control of the currents, a danger that could destroy the alliance as well as her island. Tana will have to choose between love and duty, between loyalty to her people and loyalty to her heart.

Prague and Central Bohemia - Martin Ouředníček - e-kniha
eBook: The theme of socio-spatial differentiation has belonged to the core issues of social geography and urban studies for a long time. The general aim of the book is to describe and explain the current socio-spatial differentiation of Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and the processes that have influenced it during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The book offers its own theoretical perspective on the structuration of spatial patterns and the social environment, a general view of regional development, and the main socio-spatial processes of the period after transition. Maps are an important part of this volume and concentrate crucial information within most chapters. Apart from the static information described in the maps, the book offers a look at current population “processes”, as hinted at by the subtitle of the publication. The presentation and evaluation of “processes” require more dynamic forms of cartographic visualisation and new methods of investigation. Among them, new tools of segregation measurement, various approaches for the use of mobile phone data, and an innovative form of population forecast are presented in the book. The common thread connecting all chapters is a regional focus on Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and a quantitative approach to comparing spatial patterns and regional processes.

Prague: The City and Its River - Kateřina Bečková
Pro vzhled, charakter a život Prahy je od jejího vzniku zcela zásadním faktorem Vltava, řeka, jejíž tok připravil reliéf krajiny k osídlení pražského kotliny a poté k utváření města, které vyrostlo v metropoli. V průběhu své historie si město řeku pozvolna podmaňovalo. Pražané se naučili využívat její energie v mlýnech a později elektrárnách, řečiště překlenovat různými typy mostů, upravit břehy a ostrovy, vybudovat nábřeží. Do proměn tváře řeky nejradikálněji vstoupilo zřejmě 19. století. Vltavské břehy, dosud většinou využívané jako hospodářské periferie, se proměňovaly v žádané lokality s výstavnými budovami, společenskými centry a elegantními promenádami. Ve vstupní části ukazuje autorka historické sepětí Prahy a Vltavy řeky, kdy vystupovaly do popředí zejména praktické funkce řeky, dnes už většinou vnímané jako estetický prvek, dotvářející malebný obraz města. V druhé části se pak stává průvodkyní komentující současné fotografie zajímavých objektů a míst spojujících Vltavu s Prahou, ať to jsou historické mlýny, jezy, náplavky, ostrovy, vodárenské věže, mosty, nábřeží s jejich budovami i řeka jako místo společenského života města. Kromě fotografií exteriérů provázejí text dokumentační snímky, rejstřík lokací s mapou objektů, přehled ostrovů, mostů, nábřeží a také osobností.

So begins this stunning portrait of Vivian Baxter Johnson: the first black woman officer in the Merchant Marines, purveyor of a gambling business and rooming house, and mother to one of our most cherished literary treasures. Anyone who's read the classic, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, knows Maya Angelou was raised by her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away and unearths the well of emotions Angelou experienced long afterward as a result. While Angelou's six autobiographies tell of her out in the world, influencing and learning from statesmen and cultural icons, Mom & Me & Mom shares the intimate, emotional story about her...

FiHa: You and Me and Victoria (CD)
Deset let od úspěšného debutu, který vznikl ve věhlasném studiu SONO a pět let po desce “Baby, Baby”, která vznikla pod dozorem věhlasného producenta Borise Carloffa, přichází FIHA s novinkou “You and Me and Victoria”. V lednu roku 2019 se kapela přesunula do studia na Edinburg College ve Skotsku, kde měla v plánu natočit EP obsahující 4 nové písně. Kapela se nakonec po příjezdu zpět do Česka rozhodla natočit plnohodnotnout desku a pro potřeby nahrávání se rozhodla postavit si vlastní studio. V tom vzniklo celé album "You and Me and Victoria", které bylo vydáno 13. listopadu 2020 kompletně v produkci kapely. Podobně jako u skladeb se kapela rozhodla ve vlastní produkci točit i videoklipy. Prvním z řady videí k novým písním byl klip k písní "Victoria". Kvůli pandemii Covid 19 byla deska pokřtěna předtočeným digitálním křtem. Kmotrou "Victorie" se stala Zlata Holušová, ředitelka festivalu Colours of Ostrava. Deska je klasickou “FIHA směsicí”, která obsahuje jak tanečnější a energické songy(Beauty, Old Tricks), krásné balady (Come Home, Let The Love), ale i pořádný kytarový nářez (Clue, Victoria). Koncertní složení kapely je poslední roky rozšířeno i o perkusionistu, dvě sboristky a i Ti se spolup-odíleli na novém materiálu a zařadili se tak pevně do sestavy kapely.

Franz Kafka and his Prague Contexts - Marek Nekula - e-kniha
eBook: Marek Nekula připravil soubor studií o tom, jak Praha formovala Kafkovu osobnost a dílo. Kniha začíná kritickou diskuzí o problematickém přijímání Franze Kafky v Československu, které začalo na konferenci v Liblici v roce 1963. Zde byl Kafka zachráněn před cenzurou za cenu "přepsání" jeho německého a židovského literárního a kulturního kontextu s cílem vyzdvihnout český vliv na jeho tvorbu. Studie se zaměřují na židovské sociální a literární prostředí v Praze, Kafkovu německo-českou dvojjazyčnost a jeho znalost jidiš a hebrejštiny. Kafkův bilingvismus je probírán v kontextu současných esencialistických názorů na spisovatelův jazyk a identitu. Nekula také věnuje zvláštní pozornost Kafkovu vzdělání, zkoumá jeho studia českého jazyka a literatury, jakož i jeho českou četbu a její roli v jeho intelektuálním životě. Knihu uzavírá otázkou, jak Kafka "četl" své městské prostředí.

Anita and Me - Meera Syal
The debut novel from the award-winning screenwriter of Bhaji on the Beach. The story of nine-year-old Meena, growing up in the only Punjabi family in the Black Country mining village of Tollington.It’s 1972. Meena is nine years old and lives in the village of Tollington, ‘the jewel of the Black Country’. She is the daughter of Indian parents who have come to England to give her a better life. As one of the few Punjabi inhabitants of her village, her daily struggle for independence is different from most. She wants fishfingers and chips, not chapati and dhal; she wants an English Christmas, not the usual interminable Punjabi festivities – but more than anything, she wants to roam the backyards of working-class Tollington with feisty Anita Rutter and her gang.Blonde, cool, aloof, outrageous and sassy, Anita is everything Meena thinks she wants to be. Meena wheedles her way into Anita’s life, but the arrival of a baby brother, teenage hormones, impending entrance exams for the posh grammar school and a motorcycling rebel without a future, threaten to turn Anita’s salad days sour.Anita and Me paints a comic, poignant, compassionate and colourful portrait of village life in the era of flares, power cuts, glam rock, decimalisation and Ted Heath. It is a unique vision of a British childhood in the Seventies, a childhood caught between two cultures, each on the brink of change.

The Magic Lantern : The Revolution of ´89 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin and Prague - Timothy Garton Ash
The Magic Lantern is one of those rare books that capture history in the making, written by an author who was witness to some of the most remarkable moments that marked the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.Timothy Garton Ash was there in Warsaw, on 4 June, when the communist government was humiliated by Solidarity in the first semi-free elections since the Second World War. He was there in Budapest, twelve days later, when Imre Nagy - thirty-one years after his execution - was finally given his proper funeral. He was there in Berlin, as the Wall opened. And most remarkable of all, he was there in Prague, in the back rooms of the Magic Lantern theatre, with Vaclav Havel and the members of Civic Forum, as they made their 'Velvet Revolution'.

Ziggy, Stardust and Me - James Brandon
The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is sixteen-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life. In his alternate reality, Jonathan can be anything: a superhero, an astronaut, Ziggy Stardust, himself, or completely "normal" and not a boy who likes other boys. When he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. But before that can happen, Web stumbles into his life. Web is everything Jonathan wishes he could be: fearless, fearsome and, most importantly, not ashamed of being gay.Jonathan doesn't want to like brooding Web, who has secrets all his own. Jonathan wants nothing more than to be "fixed" once and for all. But he's drawn to Web anyway. Web is the first person in the real world to see Jonathan completely and think he's perfect. Web is a kind of escape Jonathan has never known. For the first time in his life, he may finally feel free enough to love and accept himself as he is.

Life and Love in Nazi Prague : Letters from an Occupied City - Marie Bader
Prague, 1940-1942. The Nazi-occupied city is locked in a reign of terror under Reinhard Heydrich. The Jewish community experience increasing levels of persecution, as rumours start to swirl of deportation and an unknown, but widely feared, fate. Amidst the chaos and devastation, Marie Bader, a widow age 56, has found love again with a widower, her cousin Ernst Löwy. Ernst has fled to Greece and the two correspond in a series of deeply heartfelt letters which provide a unique perspective on this period of heightening tension and anguish for the Jewish community. The letters paint a vivid, moving and often dramatic picture of Jewish life in occupied Prague, the way Nazi persecution affected Marie, her increasingly strained family relationships, as well as the effect on the wider Jewish community whilst Heydrich, one of the key architects and executioners of the Holocaust and Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, established the Theresienstadt ghetto and began to organize the deportation of Jews. Through this deeply personal and moving account, the realities of Jewish life in Heydrich's Prague are dramatically revealed.

Prague English Studies and the Transformation of Philologies - Martin Procházka, Ondřej Pilný - e-kniha
eBook: Monografie připomene sté výročí pražských anglických studií, která byla oficiálně ustavena v roce 1912 jmenováním Viléma Mathesiuse, zakladatele Pražského lingvistického kroužku a prvního profesora anglického jazyka a literatury na Univerzitě Karlově. Kromě přehodnocení práce hlavních představitelů (Mathesius, Vančura a další) a posuzování vývoje na literaturu orientovaných pražských studií angličtiny a s ohledem na pražský strukturalismus, se kniha zaměří na metodologické problémy oboru v souvislosti s transformací humanistické a stejně tak moderní filologie, hledání souvislostí mezi dvěma historicky odlišnými interdisciplinárními projekty: humanistickou filologií a strukturalistickou sémiologií. Spolu s Paulem de Man, lze tento odkaz identifikovat jako problém rétoriky - jeho těžko postřehnutelné postavení mezi gramatikou a logikou, strukturou a významem a performativitou a hodnotou jazyka. Přehodnocení tohoto problému se zdá mít zásadní význam pro pochopení dynamiky současné transformace filologie a strukturalistické metodologie, jež jsou diskutovány v závěrečné části. Další zásadní metodologický problém je metodologie literární historie. Ačkoli se představitelům pražských anglických studií podařilo překonat ztuhlost synchronních postupů, jejich zpracování dynamických struktur je stále značně poplatný tradičním pojetí funkce a hodnoty ._x000D_ Kniha je rozdělena do dvou částí: první se pokouší přehodnotit význam odkazu Mathesiuse (v literární teorii, historii a teorii překladu) a jeho následovníků (především Zdeňka Vančury a Jaroslava Hornáta), druhá zkoumá různé souvislosti a důsledky pražského strukturalismu, od politických aspektů ruských formalistických teorií, přes estetiku groteskní strukturalistické psychoanalýzy a nedávné textové genetiky._x000D_

Bismarck´s War: The Franco-Prussian War and the Making of Modern Europe - Chrastil Rachel
Less than a month after it marched into France in summer 1870, the Prussian army had devastated its opponents, captured Napoleon III and wrecked all assumptions about Europe's pecking order. Other countries looked on in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.Bismarck's War tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the twentieth century.Drawing on a remarkable variety of sources, Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for both victors and victims.

Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton and Me - Bernie Taupin
An evocative, clear-eyed, and revealing memoir by Bernie Taupin, the lyrical master and longtime collaborator of Elton John. This is the memoir music fans have been waiting for. Half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records. Together, they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary, half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics (like 2019's Rocketman) and even John's own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a famously private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now. Written with honesty and candour, Scatterhot allows the reader to witness events unfolding from Taupin's singular perspective, sometimes front and center, sometimes from the edge, yet always described vibrantly, with an infectious energy that only a vivid songwriter's prose could offer. From his childhood in the East Midlands of England whose imagination was sparked and forever informed by the distinctly American mythopoetics of country music and cowboys, to the glittering, star-studded fishbowl of '70s and '80s Beverly Hills, Scattershot is simultaneously a Tom Jones-like picaresque journey across a landscape of unforgettable characters, as well as a striking, first-hand account of a creative era like no other and one man's experience at the core of it. An exciting, multi-decade whirlwind, Scattershot whizzes around the world as we ride shotgun with Bernie on his extraordinary life. We visit New York with him and Elton on the cusp of global fame. We spend time with him in Australia almost in residency at an infamous rock 'n' roll hotel in an endless blizzard of drugs. And we spend late, late night hours with John Lennon, with Bob Marley, and hanging with Frank Sinatra. And beyond the world of popular music, we witness memorable encounters with writers like Graham Greene, painters like Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, and scores of notable misfits, miscreants, eccentrics, and geniuses, known and unknown. Even if they're not famous in their own right, they are stars on the page, and we discover how they inspired the indelible lyrics to songs such as "Tiny Dancer," "Candle in the Wind," "Bennie and The Jets," and so many more. Unique and utterly compelling, Scattershot will transport the reader across the decades and around the globe, along the way meeting some of the greatest creative minds of the 20th century, and into the vivid imaginings of one of music's most legendary lyricists.
