Last Night I Dreamt
'As compelling as any du Maurier mystery - an extraordinary family saga wonderfully told' GYLES BRANDRETH'An unforgettable portrait of Daphne du Maurier' TATIANA DE ROSNAY, author of Manderley Forever
An intimate, revelatory family biography of the iconic writer Daphne du Maurier and her famous ancestors, by her eldest grandson
Born into a well-known artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier grew up in an atmosphere of carefree privilege - but at a time when women of her class were not expected to have a career. She however defied convention and moved to Cornwall to pursue her ambition to become a writer. There, over six decades, she dreamt up the stories that have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and still haunt our cultural imagination, including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn and 'The Birds'.Last Night I Dreamt explores how the turbulence and contradictions of Daphne's own life - spanning war, complex family dynamics, a marriage to a renowned but damaged general, and unrequited love - inspired her writing.It also uncovers the powerful influence of her notable forebears, in particular her domineering father Gerald, the most famous actor-manager of his generation; her grandfather George, a renowned Victorian novelist and cartoonist; and the mistress to the Duke of York, Mary Anne Clarke, another woman who refused to obey the rules.
Paul de Zulueta, Daphne's grandson, has drawn on private family archives, new interviews and his own memories of his grandmother, a woman who was central to his early life. In doing so, he gives us an extraordinary look into the world of Daphne du Maurier with rare closeness and emotional candour, and a moving portrait of one of the great British artistic families of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Fenomén Ostravsko
Kniha o území, kde už dávno nenajdete jen uhlí, ocel, kouř a průmysl. Autoři vás provedou Ostravou, městem v minulosti těžce zkoušeným, dnes městem moderním, obklopeným přírodou, řekami a rybníky. Od vývoje krajiny ještě před příchodem člověka přes typické, dnes již zelené, místy prohořívající haldy; přes podzemí, historicky zajímavá místa, architekturu průmyslových čtvrtí a dělnických kolonií až po osudy lidí, kteří Ostravu budovali. Strhující čtení pro každého, kdo chce tomuto městu opravdu porozumět.
Michaela Klevisová - BOX 2, 2. vydání
Kriminalista Josef Bergman hledá ve čtyřech samostatných příbězích pachatele vražd, které se odehrávají v pražském lesoparku (Kroky vraha), v zapadlé vesnici (Dům na samotě), v prostředí televizního seriálu (Zlodějka příběhů) i na odlehlé pláži v Holandsku (Ostrov šedých mnichů). Napínavé vyšetřování odhaluje spletité mezilidské vztahy a příčiny vedoucí ke spáchání zločinu. Ať už je vrahem kdokoliv, zkušenému Josefu Bergmanovi nakonec neunikne.
Někdo to udělat musel - limitované vydání
Tenhle příběh se může odehrávat kdekoliv. Záleží na dostupnosti lokací, na jejich ceně, na ceně štábu, přepravy, ubytování, na ceně všeho, ano, obvykle jde hlavně o peníze, ale já jsem zrovna v jižní Francii, v takovém roztomilém středověkém městečku. Hodně tady svítí slunce a v mé hlavě je tenhle příběh o dospívání slunce plný, proto se odehrává právě tady. Doufám, že ho odvyprávím přesně tak, jak se stal, ještě pořád se děje, naléhá na mě, píská mi v uších, musím ho dostat ven z hlavy, jinak se zblázním.

Out Now
Two very gay things happened in the space of 24 hours in October 2003. Coronation Street aired its first gay kiss before the watershed. And Scott Bryan came out, aged 14, for the first time, in French class. In French.
From a very young age, Scott escaped into other worlds through the small screen. Navigating the world as a queer and neurodivergent person, TV offered both an escape and a way of better understanding himself. In the shadow of Section 28 banning promotion of LGBTQ+ issues in schools, television was crucial in breaking that enforced silence.
In Out Now, Scott looks back at the TV that made him, from the 90s to the present day, and the LGBTQ+ voices that were alternately championed and oppressed. Part memoir, part critique, the book takes us back to watershed moments in television history and evaluates the cultural and personal impact they had. Warm and witty in equal measure, Out Nowlooks at shows such as Queer As Folk, Desperate Housewives, Heartstopper and Heated Rivalry, and features interviews with the people behind the seminal moments - including Russell T Davies and Jonathan Harvey - that brought Scott and UK TV itself, to where they are today.
