eBook:,Služka Sára si na longbournském panství zvykla dřít do úmoru a oplátkou dostávat pramálo. Jenomže každodenní život služebnictva, jehož pravidla neurčují pouze něžné srdce a železná vůle hospodyně paní Hillové, ale především omezené příjmy rodiny Bennetovy, už záhy obrátí vzhůru nohama příchod nového komorníka Jamese Smithe, který s sebou přinese tajemství a vůni moře. V georgiánské Anglii existuje svět, který mladé dámy zvyklé na salony a taneční sály nikdy nepoznají: svět bídy, lásky a krvavých válek.

Debutovala roku 2001 knihou Offcomer, následovaly tři další romány a řada povídek. V roce 2013 na sebe strhla celosvětovou pozornost prózou Longbourn, která vychází ve více než dvou desítkách zemí a má se stát předlohou filmu. „Bakerová dokázala zdánlivě nemožné: zmocnila se světa Jane Austenové. Fantastické dílo.“ – Guardian (knihydobrovsky.cz)

We know the stars, and have tamed most species that have crossed our paths; we've roamed the world over and travelled to Space; we've mastered industrialisation then created technology that our grandparents couldn't have dreamt of. So, what's next? Ruby Wax builds on her exploration on forgiveness to demonstrate that the next great barrier to progress is compassion. And Now for the Good News teaches us essential tools for making the most out of the relationships in our loves and protect our hearts and mind amidst the madness of hashtags and 24-hour news cycles. Introducing a new mindfulness practice (tuning into the body), Wax creates a call to arms to living more intuitive lives. Drawing on how education, businesses, technology can use kindness to reform - and better - themselves as well as the purpose of kindness, this book will investigate why greater compassion is our one-way ticket to a better future.

STOP READING THE NEWS is a vital toolkit for managing the upsetting coronavirus news cycle and finding equilibrium and calm at a time of chaos and uncertainty In 2013 Rolf Dobelli stood in front of a roomful of journalists and proclaimed that he did not read the news. It caused a riot. Now the author of the bestselling The Art of Thinking Clearly finally sets down his philosophy in detail. And he practises what he preaches: he hasn't read the news for a decade. Stop Reading the News is Dobelli's manifesto about the dangers of the most toxic form of information - news. He shows the damage it does to our concentration and well-being, and how a misplaced sense of duty can misdirect our behaviour. Most importantly, he offers the reader the guidance on how to live without news, and the many potential gains to be had: less disruption, more time, less anxiety, more insights. In a world of increasing disruption and division, Stop Reading the News is a welcome voice of calm and wisdom. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O'Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work-equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky-has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets. In American Pravda, the reader is invited to go undercover with these intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask dishonest officials and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure story on one level, the book also serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed. The book not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media, it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. O'Keefe's enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O'Keefe, every one of these attacks is a sign of success. American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding O'Keefe's activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you hear and read in the so-called mainstream press.

Josefíně Bakerové bylo dvacet let, když se objevila v Paříži. Během jedné noci se z americké tanečnice stal idol. Fascinovala Picassa, Cocteaua, Le Corbusiera i Simenona. Ve třicátých letech se z ní stala první černošská hvězda světového věhlasu, od Buenos Aires po Vídeň, od Alexandrie po Londýn. Po válce, kdy se angažovala ve francouzském odboji, se rozhodla bojovat proti rasové segregaci. V padesátých letech adoptovala na svém zámečku v Milandes dvanáct sirotků různé pleti. O lásce a svobodě zpívala až do svého posledního vydechnutí. Catel Mullerová a José-Louis Bocquet vyprávějí skrze portrét Josefíny Bakerové příběh první poloviny dvacátého století od Broadwaye po Paříž Bláznivých let.

Francouzský novinář a spisovatel Marcel Sauvage byl u toho a na základě jeho rozhovorů, které v průběhu let s legendární tanečnicí pravidelně vedl, vznikla tato kniha autentických vzpomínek. Konečná podoba citlivé, laskavé a zároveň poetické stylizace střípků spontánního vyprávění vykresluje Bakerovou jako umělkyni i člověka s až neuvěřitelně velkým srdcem. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
