'It isn't running away they're afraid of. We wouldn't get far. It's those other escapes, the ones you can open in yourself, given a cutting edge'. Offred is a Handmaid. She has only one function: to breed. If she refuses to play her part she will, like all dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. She may walk daily to the market and utter demure words to other Handmaid's, but her role is fixed, her freedom a forgotten concept. Offred remembers her old life - love, family, a job, access to the news. It has all been taken away. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire. Includes exclusive content: In The 'Backstory' you can read Margaret Atwood's account of how she came to write this landmark dystopian novel. "Compulsively readable". (Daily Telegraph).

Kings become outcasts and lovers become foes in The Faithless Hawk, the thrilling sequel to Margaret Owen's The Merciful Crow. As the new chieftain of the Crows, Fie knows better than to expect a royal to keep his word. Still she's hopeful that Prince Jasimir will fulfill his oath to protect her fellow Crows. But then black smoke fills the sky, signaling the death of King Surimir and the beginning of Queen Rhusana's merciless bid for the throne. With the witch queen using the deadly plague to unite the nation of Sabor against Crows--and add numbers to her monstrous army--Fie and her band are forced to go into hiding, leaving the country to be ravaged by the plague. However, they're all running out of time before the Crows starve in exile and Sabor is lost forever. A desperate Fie calls on old allies to help take Rhusana down from within her own walls. But inside the royal palace, the only difference between a conqueror and a thief is an army. To survive, Fie must unravel not only Rhusana's plot, but ancient secrets of the Crows--secrets that could save her people, or set the world ablaze. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Margaret Atwood's dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid's Tale, has become a modern classic-and now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel. More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

HOW DID IT COME TO THIS? The news doesn't strike cleanly, like a guillotine's blade. Nothing so merciful. This news is a slovenly traveller, dragging its feet, gradually revealing its horrors. And it announces itself first with violence - the urgent hammering of fists on the front door. Life can change in a heartbeat. Lucy has everything she could wish for: a beautiful home high on the clifftops, a devoted husband and two beloved children. Then one morning, time stops. Their family yacht is recovered, abandoned far out at sea. Lucy's husband is nowhere to be found and as the seconds tick by, she begins to wonder - what if he was the one who took the boat? And if so, where is he now? As a once-in-a-generation storm frustrates the rescue operation, Lucy pieces together what happened onboard. And then she makes a fresh discovery. One that plunges her into a nightmare more shocking than any she could ever have imagined . . . 'Fiendishly clever' Sunday Times (knihydobrovsky.cz)

From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient -- which seek answers to Burning Questions such as: Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?How can we live on our planet?What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?In Burning Questions Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.INCLUDES NEW ESSAYS FOR PAPERBACK (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Best compilation of work by one of the great pioneers of photography Spectacular gallery of the great and good of Victorian England At the age of 48, when she moved to the Isle of Wight, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was given a camera by her daughter: "It might amuse you, Mother, to try to photograph during your solitude at Freshwater." The gift was to begin Cameron’s short but prolific career as one of photography’s first great artists. "From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour, and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour." The modern interest in Cameron’s photography began with the pioneering 1926 book by her great-niece Virginia Woolf and art critic Roger Fry. Their essays and the original plates are reprinted here, together with Cameron’s own account of her life in photography, Annals of My Glass House, her only surviving poem, On a Portrait, and an introduction by Tristram Powell. Thirty-nine plates and other illustrations have been added, including many of Cameron’s most famous images. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Whether you work in a home office or abroad, business success in our ever more globalized and virtual world requires the skills to navigate through cultural differences and decode cultures foreign to your own. Renowned expert Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain where people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.When you have Americans who precede anything negative with three nice comments French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans who get straight to the point ( your presentation was simply awful") Latin Americans and Asians who are steeped in hierarchy Scandinavians who think the best boss is just one of the crowd,the result can be, well, sometimes interesting, even funny, but often disastrous.Even with English as a global language, it's easy to fall into cultural traps that endanger careers and sink deals when, say, a Brazilian manager tries to fathom how his Chinese suppliers really get things done, or an American team leader tries to get a handle on the intra-team dynamics between his Russian and Indian team members.In The Culture Map , Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business. She combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice for succeeding in a global world. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Dejiny sa neopakujú, ale rýmujú. Keď v roku 1985 Margaret Atwood vydala román Príbeh služobníčky, kniha vzbudila zaslúžený ohlas, ktorý neutíchol viac-menej dodnes. Aj jeho pokračovanie Svedectvá vzbudilo veľký záujem čitateľov aj kritikov - autorka zaň dostala Bookerovu cenu. Dej románu sa odohráva pätnásť rokov po udalostiach opísaných v Príbehu služobníčky a jeho rozprávačkami sú prominentná predstaviteľka gileádskeho režimu a dve dospievajúce dievčatá žijúce v odlišných svetoch - Agnes z Gileádu a Daisy z Kanady. Prostredníctvom ich svedectiev sa pred čitateľom odvíja svet teokratickej diktatúry, v ktorej ženy a ľudské práva neznamenajú vôbec nič. (patro.cz)

Když se za Fredovou na konci Příběhu služebnice zabouchly dveře dodávky, neměli čtenáři ani ponětí, zda ji čeká svoboda, vězení, nebo smrt. Ale kdo si počkal, ten se po pětatřiceti letech napětí dočkal Svědectví. Margaret Atwoodová pokračuje v příběhu Gileádu více než patnáct let poté, co June zmizela neznámo kde, a rozvíjí ho ve zdrcujících výpovědích tří ženských hrdinek, které mají s tímto režimem co do činění, byť každá v jiné roli. Ne náhodou získala věhlasná autorka za své čím dál aktuálnější dílo – v němž se sžíravá, bezelstná a neohrožená kritika totality splétají v účinný nástroj – prestižní Bookerovu cenu. „Milí čtenáři: K napsání této knihy mě inspirovalo všechno, na co jste se mě kdy ptali ohledně Gileádu a jeho mašinerie. Tedy téměř všechno. Dalším zdrojem inspirace je svět, v němž žijeme.“ - Margaret Atwoodová (patro.cz)

Knížka je velice hodnotným historickým dílem. Autorka zde o známém vynálezci a zajímavém člověku Nikolovi Teslovi pojednává jednak v rovině čistě lidské, jednak v rovině jeho vědecké činnosti a nevyhýbá se ani dobovým souvislostem. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A new book of poetry from internationally acclaimed, award-winning and bestselling author Margaret Atwood In Dearly, Margaret Atwood's first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood's fiction-including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others-she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and An Enchantment of Ravens comes a thrilling new YA fantasy about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead. Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Alexandra Bracken and Holly Black. The dead of Loraille do not rest. Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on. She'd rather deal with the dead than the living, who point and whisper about the odd girl who was once possessed by a violent spirit. When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia fights back by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a high saint's relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being now whispering in her head. Wielding its extraordinary power almost consumes her in body and soul. But death has come to Loraille, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has a chance of stopping it. As Artemisia investigates a mystery of saints, secrets and dark magic, an ancient evil is stirring. Can an untrained girl, tormented by the burden of containing the revenant's devouring power, have any hope of defeating it? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Musíme všichni táhnout za jeden provaz, nebo na něm budeme viset každý zvlášť. A co když ne? I patnáct let poté, co služebnice Fredova uprchla z Republiky Gileád, trvá na území Nové Anglie krutovláda založená na zotročení zdravých žen schopných rodit děti. Stav prohnilého režimu nám nyní střídavě přibližuje trojice mluvčích, jejichž postoje si nemohou být vzdálenější. Pravověrná teta Lydie coby spoluautorka gileádské ideologie se setkává s Ágnes z řad místních privilegovaných, která se vlivem pletich ocitla v jejím klášteře jako novicka. A k oběma zpoza hranic svobodné Kanady přistupuje rebelka Daisy, pátrající po nejasnostech ve svém rodokmenu. Trojhlas vypravěček postupně odkrývá netušené vazby i známou pravdu, že historie se zlomyslně rýmuje. I Češi kdysi na vlastní kůži poznali, že ani svět pokřivený totalitou nebývá černobílý a nepřežil by bez šedé zóny soukromých motivací. A že se především neobejde bez lásky, jež bude vždy silnější než smrt. Dlouho očekávané pokračování bestselleru Příběh služebnice. Kniha získala Bookerovu cenu za román roku 2019.
