Reading lessons - carol atherton

An English teacher's love letter to reading and the many ways literature can make us, and our lives, better. How can a Victorian poem help teenagers understand YouTube misogyny? Can Jane Eyre encourage us to speak out? What can Lady Macbeth teach us about empathy? Should our expectations for our future be any greater than Pip’s? And why is it so important to make space for these conversations in the first place?In a career spanning almost three decades, English teacher Carol Atherton has taught generations of students texts that will be familiar to many of us from our own schooldays. But while the staples of exam syllabuses and reading lists remain largely unchanged, their significance – and their relevance – evolves with each class, as it encounters them for the first time.Each chapter of Reading Lessons invites us to take a fresh look at these novels, plays and poems, revealing how they have shaped our beliefs, our values, and how we interact as a society. As she recalls her own development as a teacher, Atherton emphasizes the vital, undervalued role a teacher plays, illustrates how essential reading is for developing our empathy and makes a passionate case for the enduring power of literature. 'Beautifully written, sensitive and full of warmth ... (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has closed, eleven-year-old Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. 2,000 miles from his mother's protective love, stranded at an unusual boarding school, his vulnerability attracts piano teacher Miss Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Now, when his wife vanishes, leaving him alone with his tiny son, Roland is forced to confront the reality of his restless existence.As the radiation from Chernobyl spreads across Europe, he begins a search for answers that looks deep into his family history and will last for the rest of his life.From the Suez Crisis to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall to the current pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history, but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means - music, literature, friends, sex, politics and, finally, love cut tragically short, then love ultimately redeemed. His journey raises important questions for us all.Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events beyond our control shape our lives and our memories? And what can we really learn from the traumas of the past?Epic, mesmerising and deeply humane, Lessons is a chronicle for our times - a powerful meditation on history and humanity through the prism of one man's lifetime.

What is it like to move to a formerly communist, Eastern Bloc country just as it is coming to know the West? How much can a new and free generation teach an outsider who is willing to watch, to listen, and to integrate? Written from the perspective of an American emigrant settling in the Czech Republic not long after the fall of communism, Czech Lessons tracks the metamorphosis of both the Czech people and their new republic over the past two decades, capturing a unique period in this humble Central European country's development. Alternating between history, humor, politics, and memoir, Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz's book of essays delves into the intangible qualities that make up both a nation and a nationality, bringing daily Czech life and culture sharply into focus. From the benefits of a social democracy to the national obsession with nature, Czech Lessons not only magnifies this small country for the world to see, but also offers up a mirror for the Czech people themselves. "Surrounded by remnants of a difficult past, faltering technology, and Czechs who couldn't help but stare at foreigners, I seemed to be taking several steps into the past, even as the country was careening forward with ambition. It was a rare opportunity to begin a relationship with the former Czechoslovakia as it slowly found its personality and its future.” Jaké to je přestěhovat se do post-komunistické země východního bloku v okamžiku, kdy se setkává se Západem? Co všechno může nové svobodné pokolení naučit člověka zvenku, který je ochoten sledovat, naslouchat a nechat se vtáhnout? Czech Lessons je kniha napsaná z perspektivy americké emigrantky, která se usazuje v České republice několik let po pádu komunismu. Autorka sleduje proměnu Čechů a jejich nově vzniklé republiky v uplynulých dvou dekádách a zachycuje jedinečné období vývoje tohoto skromného středoevropského státu. Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz napsala eseje, které se dotýkají dějin, politiky, ale rovněž osobních vzpomínek. Kniha s adekvátní kapkou humoru zkoumá nepostižitelné vlastnosti, ze kterých sestává národ a zároveň národnost, a přináší ostrý obraz české kultury i každodennosti. Širokou paletou témat, od výhod sociální demokracie až po českou zálibu v pobytu v přírodě, nejenže knížka Czech Lessons zpřítomňuje tuto malou zemi světovým čtenářům, ale také nabízí zrcadlo samotným Čechům. "Kolem jsem viděla pozůstatky komplikované minulosti, plně nerozvinuté technologie, Čechy, kteří chtě nechtě hleděli na cizince s údivem ve tváři, a připadalo mi, že kráčím zpět do minulosti, přestože se tato země ambiciózně řítí vpřed. Otevírala se přede mnou vzácná příležitost navázat vztah s někdejším Československem, které pomalu hledalo svoji povahu a svoji budoucnost." (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A virus is not human, but the reaction to it is a measure of humanity.America has not measured up well. Tens of thousands are dead for no reason. America is supposed to be about freedom, yet illness and fear make its citizens less free. After all, freedom is meaningless if we are too ill to think about our right to happiness or too weak to pursue it. So, if a government is making its people unhealthy it is also making them unfree.On December 29, 2019, Timothy Snyder fell gravely ill. As he clung to life he found himself reflecting on the fragility of health, not recognized in America as a human right, but without which all rights and freedoms have no meaning. And that was before the pandemic. We have since watched understaffed and undersupplied hospitals buckling under waves of coronavirus patients. The federal government made matters worse through wilful ignorance, misinformation, and profiteering.This passionate intervention outlines the lessons we must all learn, wherever we are, and finds glimmers of hope in dark times. Only by enshrining healthcare as a human right, elevating the authority of doctors and truth, and planning for our children's future, can everyone be properly free.Freedom belongs to individuals. But to be free we need our health, and for our health we need one another. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
