NEYMAR DA SILVA SANTOS JÚNIOR
ve svých třiadvaceti nemá život jednoduchý. Jako by nestačilo, že v něm Brazílie vidí Pelého nástupce, svět mu dokonce přisuzuje roli následníka fotbalového trůnu. Skutečně na něm vystřídá současné vládce Cristiana Ronalda a Lionela Messiho a je obdařen takovým talentem a reálnými schopnostmi, aby byl jednou korunován? Pelé považovaný za krále fotbalové historie dokonce prohlásí odvážné:
„Když porovnám Neymara a Messiho, vychází mi, že Neymar je mnohem lepší, komplexnější. Umí hrát dobře oběma nohama, kličku má stejně dobrou do obou stran a dává také góly.“
Legenda svůj pohled vysloví v létě 2013, tedy v čase Neymarova přestupu ze Santosu do Barcelony, a malý velký muž Leo, dnes čtyřnásobný držitel Zlatého míče, je překvapen, šokován je zřejmě i trojnásobný vítěz Cristiano a s ním i další hvězdy a fotbaloví experti.
Pelé, který v Santosu zapsal neuvěřitelných 1091 (!) gólů, přirozeně vidí ve druhém nejlepším střelci svého klubu jediného možného následníka. Právě Neymar má Brazílii opět přivést k titulů mistrů světa, a zrovna na domácím šampionátu, byť Neymar jako individualita hraje skvěle, zůstanou Kanárci za očekáváním, potupeni od Němců i Nizozemců a bez medaile. Nemluví tedy z Pelého až přehnaný patriotismus? A jeho vyvolený – je opravdu tak výjimečným a rozdílovým hráčem?
K úžasu všech svou kvalitu i předpokládanou ambici v čase Pelého výroku potvrdí na Poháru FIFA, kde vstřelí v pěti zápasech pět gólů a ve finále dominuje i nad španělskými mistry světa. Je po zásluze vyhlášen nejlepším hráčem turnaje.
O mimořádném talentu Neymara ví svět ostatně dlouho. Už v devatenácti se stal nejlepším fotbalistou Jižní Ameriky, desáté místo obsadil v anketě Zlatý míč FIFA a také obdržel Puskásovu cenu za gól roku 2011, který vsítil v dresu Santosu proti Flamengu po několika skvělých kličkách. Odborníci i fanoušci obdivují zejména jeho technickou vytříbenost, parádní kličky, dynamickou rychlost a suverénní zakončení.
A tak není divu, že Barcelona za Neymara utratí v sumáři 86 milionů eur, odchovanec Santosu je po Cristianovi a Garethu Baleovi třetím nejdražším fotbalistou.
Zpočátku sice spolupráce s Messim i vlivem Neymarových zdravotních problémů nepřináší očekávané ovoce, ovšem v sezoně 2014/15 rodák z Mogi das Cruzes společně s geniálním Leem září v útoku Barcy a vede ji ke španělskému titulu i k pátému triumfu v Champions League. Žádný tým na světě nemá údernější ofenzivu než Blaugranas. Messi, Neymar a Suárez představují drtivou sílu, překonávají i podobně famózní trio Realu Ronaldo – Benzema – Bale.
Neymar není jen vynikajícím fotbalistou, ale stává se podobně jako David Beckham či Cristiano idolem dívek a žen, módní ikonou a tváří významných značek. Jestliže se dříve mladí fotbalisté a muži stříhali na Davida či později na Cristiana, tak dnes udává účesový trend právě mladý Brazilec.
‚Neyi, nech ti toho svého kouhouta,‘ říkají mu prý spoluhráči v Barce, ‚vypadáš potom pro obránce soupeřů strašidelněji!‘ A děsíš je nejenom svým uměním, ale i zjevem, přidávám.
U mého hrdiny prostá kardinální otázka zní: naplní Neymar roli Pelého nástupce a stane se současně po Ronaldovi a Messim následníkem fotbalového trůnu? Abychom se ji pokusili zodpovědět vydejme se až do městečka Mogi das Cruzes v provincii Sao Paulo, kde úžasná cesta jednoho obyčejného chlapce k fotbalovému nebi začala.

The Book of Lost Friends
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'A tale of enduring power' Paula McLain
From the author of the No.1, two million-copy bestseller Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic story of a family separated, their search for answers, and an epic journey to reunite the missing...
Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous aftermath of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest. For heiresses Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage westward reignites an agonizing question. Could her long-lost family still be out there?
Louisiana, 1987: Arriving in Augustine, Louisiana, first-year teacher Benedetta Silva finds herself teaching students whose poverty-stricken lives she can scarcely comprehend. The town is impossibly set in its ways, suspicious of new ideas and new people. But amid the gnarled live oaks and ancient plantation homes lies the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.
A heart-wrenching novel inspired by little-known historical events, based on actual "Lost Friends" advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones, lost to them when their families were sold off.

They'd chased him around the world, always just missing him. It had cost their clients three and a half million dollars. But so far none of them had complained.

His gravestone lay in a cemetry in Biloxi, Mississippi. His name before his death was Patrick S. Lanigan. He had been a partner at an up and coming law firm. He had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Six weeks after his death, $90 million had disappeared from the law firm.

LOST FOR CENTURIES,
ONE BOOK HOLDS THE KEY.
Legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has slipped into Venice for a much-needed holiday with his wife and two young children. But when Pope Paul VII dies suddenly, Gabriel is summoned to Rome by the Holy Father's loyal private secretary, Archbishop Luigi Donati. A billion Catholic faithful have been told that the pope died of a heart attack. Donati, however, has two good reasons to suspect his master was murdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing watch the night of the pope's death is missing. So, too, is the letter the Holy Father was writing during the final hours of his life. A letter that was addressed to an old friend: Gabriel.
While researching in the Vatican Secret Archives, I came upon a most remarkable book ...
The book is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question the accuracy of the New Testament's depiction of one of the most portentous events in human history. For that reason alone, the Order of St. Helena will stop at nothing to keep it out of Gabriel's hands. A shadowy Catholic society with ties to the European far right, the Order is plotting to seize control of the papacy. And it is only the beginning ...

Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire
What if business could help solve the greatest problems of our time?
Free market capitalism is one of humanity's greatest inventions, and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But it's also on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society in its single-minded pursuit of maximizing shareholder value.
Rebecca Henderson, McArthur University Professor at Harvard University, argues for a new framework; one that can simultaneously make a positive societal impact by confronting the realities of the environment and the need to address social and economic inequality, while also delivering sustained financial performance to ensure economic growth that brings prosperity and wellbeing to society as a whole.
Drawing on the lessons of companies from around the world who are acting on this responsibility - who are not only surviving but are thriving, becoming leaders in their industries and beginning to drive the wheels of change - Professor Henderson proves that this is not only a moral imperative for business but also the only way to remain competitive in our changing world.
'You need to read Rebecca Henderson's Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire. This is a book for the realist with a heart.' Arthur C. Brooks, president emeritus, American Enterprise Institute; senior fellow, Harvard Business School; and author of Love Your Enemies
'Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire is a breath of fresh air. Written in lively prose, easily accessible to lay readers, and chock-full of interesting case studies, Henderson comprehensively surveys what we need to do to secure a workable future.' Larry Kramer, president, Hewlett Foundation

Sylvia Pankhurst
The definitive biography of Sylvia Pankhurst, a woman ahead of her times - political rebel, human rights champion and radical feminist.
Born into one Britain's most famous activist families, Sylvia Pankhurst was a natural rebel; a talented artist, prolific writer and newspaper editor. A free spirit and radical visionary, history placed her in the shadow of her famous mother, Emmeline, and elder sister, Christabel. Yet Sylvia Pankhurst was the most revolutionary of them all.
Sylvia found her voice fighting militantly for votes for women. Her commitment to equality caused her to serve multiple sentences in Holloway prison - where she was tortured. The vote was just the beginning of her lifelong defence of human rights, from her early warnings of the rise of fascism in Europe, to her campaigning against racism and championing of the liberation struggles in Africa and India. Sylvia's adventures in America, Soviet Russia, Scandinavia, Europe and East Africa made her a true internationalist. She was one of the great minds of the modern era, engaging with political giants, including Churchill, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, George Bernard Shaw, W.E.B. Du Bois and Haile Selassie.
Her intimate life was no less controversial. The rupture between Sylvia, Emmeline and Christabel became worldwide news. Her love affair with the married Keir Hardie was one of the great political romances of the age, and she never married her life partner Silvio Corio, with whom she had a son at the age of forty-five.
Acclaimed biographer Rachel Holmes interweaves the personal and political to reveal Sylvia Pankhurst as never before. This major new biography celebrates a life in resistance, painting a compelling portrait of one of the greatest unsung political figures of the twentieth century.

Led Zeppelin All the Songs
Fifty years after their first practice in a Soho basement, Led Zeppelin continues to fascinate new generations of listeners. While their back-stage debauchery has been the focus of other books, All the Songs is about the music, detailing the Page's studio magic and inspiration that made all nine albums go platinum, including Led Zeppelin IV which was certified x23 platinum and has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide.
Studio stories will include their productive time at Headley Grange in Wales, a poorly-heated former poorhouse where they recorded parts of Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. And how the first album was recorded in three weeks but their second took six months, done while the band was on a world tour. They carried the masters of the recording session in a steamer trunk wherever they went. Out of these chaotic sessions came the "Whole Lotta Love," which was finished in New York with Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer helping create the psychedelic middle part, as well as "The Lemon Song," which was cut live in the studio. Page worked feverishly with Kramer to mix the LP on a primitive 12-channel Altec board in a two-day span.
Fans will also learn the genesis of their lyrics, the inspiration for their album covers, the instruments used, and the contributions of engineers such as Andy Johns, who helped create the iconic drum sound on "When the Levee Breaks" by recording Bonham at the bottom of a stairwell.

The New Girl
From No.1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva comes a stunning new thriller of vengeance, deception, and betrayal.
What's done cannot be undone...
At an exclusive school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.
Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid has pledged to break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable if flawed partner. Together they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.
