It could also be the last, as one by one, they start tomeet their end. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook:,Cizím lidem se nikdy nesvěřujte se svými problémy. Úspěšný podnikatel Ted Severson, který zbohatl na internetových startupech, při čekání na odložený let z Londýna do Bostonu toto pravidlo poruší. Snad proto, že vypije příliš mnoho martini, anebo že je neznámá Lily, která se s ním dá do řeči v letištním baru, až příliš přitažlivá. Z nezávazné konverzace se vyklube důvěrná hra na pravdu a přiopilý Ted se svěří, že ho jeho manželka podvádí. Lily zcela vážně prohlásí, že někteří lidé si nezaslouží žít, a bude-li chtít, pomůže mu ženu zabít. Ted netuší, že Lily má své vlastní temné tajemství, a tak ve chvíli, kdy by to snad ještě šlo, před jejím návrhem necouvne… Peter Swanson vzdává svým psychologickým thrillerem hold slavnému románu Patricie Highsmithové Cizinci ve vlaku, který pro filmové plátno úspěšně adaptoval Alfred Hitchcock. Kritika jeho knihu klade jednoznačně po bok bestsellerům typu Zmizelé. S jediným rozdílem - ve vymýšlení zápletek a šokujících rozuzlení jde Peter Swanson mnohem dál než Gillian Flynnová. „Pokud chystáte svatbu, čtěte něco jiného.“- Chris Pavone„Mimořádně dobře napsaný příběh o lži a odplatě vyprávěný nadaným autorem… Postavy se zdají být normální navenek, přitom jsou rozkošně ujeté uvnitř. Ke zvratům nedochází jenom v ději, ale přímo v hlavách aktérů.“- Nelson DeMille Z angličtiny přeložila Denisa Škodová (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Engaging encounters, personal anecdotes and jargon-free critical insights into some of the liveliest creative minds in modern art, by an international art world insider. Praised by the Art Newspaper as ‘the best art writer of his generation’, Michael Peppiatt has encountered many European modern artists over more than fifty years. This selection of some of his best biographical writing covers a wide spectrum of modern art, from Van Gogh and Pierre Bonnard, to personal conversations with painter Sonia Delaunay, artist Dora Maar, who was Picasso’s lover in the 1930s and 1940s, and Francis Bacon, perhaps the most famous of the many artists with whom Peppiatt has formed personal friendships. Michael Peppiatt’s lively, engaging writing takes us into the company of many notable art-world personalities, such as the Catalan painter Antoni Tàpies, whom he visits in his studio, and moments of disillusion, such as his meeting with the self-mythologizing artist Balthus. Art criticism blends with anecdote: riding with Lucian Freud in his Bentley, drinking with Bacon in Soho, discussing Picasso’s trousers with David Hockney... This collection of Peppiatt’s most perceptive texts includes under-recognized artists, such as Dachau survivor Zoran Music, or Montenegrin artist Dado, whose retrospective Peppiatt curated at the 2009 Venice Biennale. Remarkably varied in their scope and lucidly written for a general reader, these selected essays not only provide us with perceptive commentary and acute critical judgment, they also give a unique personal insight into some of the greatest creative minds of the modern era.

Václav Havel claimed to want a quiet life dedicated to writing, but he lived exactly the opposite: as the most famous dissident in Czechoslovakia under Communist rule, he spent many years in jail as a political prisoner and, after leading a revolutionary movement in 1989, thirteen years as president and twenty as one of the most respected intellectuals on the world stage. Throughout this eventful story ran themes that Havel himself established as a young man composing poetry in the 1950s. This biography is the first to pay close attention to Havel's poetry and to place his later work as a writer of plays, essays, prison letters and presidential speeches in the context of his poetic beginnings, his formative stylistic and philosophical influences, and his lifelong rivalry with slightly older poets who turned, as he did, to other genres. Kieran Williams connects the plays for which Havel is best known to his contemporaneous development as a writer of profound essays on the arts, on his country's social and political predicament and on the modern condition. The plays are also viewed in the context of Havel's sometimes dramatic private life and his ambivalence about being the scion of a Prague family that valued public service, patriotism and cosmopolitan tastes. Through a reading of Havel's complete works in Czech, including first drafts of his plays and his voluminous correspondence, Williams produces a rounded picture of a man of courage and paradoxes.

A revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of maths'Lively, satisfying, good at explaining difficult concepts' The Sunday TimesMathematics shapes almost everything we do. But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, historian Kate Kitagawa and journalist Timothy Revell introduce readers to the mathematical boundary-smashers who have been erased by history because of their race, gender or nationality.From the brilliant Arabic scholars of the ninth-century House of Wisdom, and the pioneering African American mathematicians of the twentieth century, to the 'lady computers' around the world who revolutionised our knowledge of the night sky, we meet these fascinating trailblazers and see how they contributed to our global knowledge today.Along the way, the mathematics itself is explained extremely clearly, for example, calculus is described using the authors' home baking, as they pose the question: how much cake is in our cake? This revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of mathematics is as entertaining as it is important. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
