The White Company The Art of Living with White
From the author of the home decorating bestseller, For the Love of White, comes an inspirational and informative guide to creating a welcoming home through the seasons using a white and neutral palette.
'Unsurprisingly for a book created by The White Company Founder Chrissie Rucker, this showcases 10 stylist interiors - divided into chapters named after the four seasons - each with a high concentration of white, be it on walls, furniture, textiles or accessories. What it demonstrates is that white need not be bland. Taking a close look at each composed and elegant case study, Chrissie points out the elements that make a room interesting, why a fabric or piece of furniture elevates a scheme, or how the simple addition of a table setting might render it the perfect serene and welcoming space to host a dinner party. The home rituals dispersed throughout provide useful tips on how to refresh your house as the seasons change.' - Christabel Chubb, House & Garden
'White Company founder Chrissie Rucker's new coffee-table book offers plenty of ideas for decorating your home in her signature, soothing style.' The Telegraph, Best Home Christmas Gifts 2022

Halil the Pedlar
On September 28th, 1730, a rebellion burst forth in Stambul against Sultan Achmed III., whose cowardly hesitation to take the field against the advancing hosts of the victorious Persians had revolted both the army and the people. The rebellion began in the camp of the Janissaries, and the ringleader was one Halil Patrona, a poor Albanian sailor-man, who after plying for a time the trade of a petty huckster had been compelled, by crime or accident, to seek a refuge among the mercenary soldiery of the Empire. The rebellion was unexpectedly, amazingly successful. The Sultan, after vainly sacrificing his chief councillors to the fury of the mob, was himself dethroned by Halil, and Mahmud I. appointed Sultan in his stead. For the next six weeks the ex-costermonger held the destiny of the Ottoman Empire in his hands till, on November 25th, he and his chief associates were treacherously assassinated in full Divan by the secret command, and actually in the presence of, the very monarch whom he had drawn from obscurity to set upon the throne.

Patrik Schick: Střelec za miliardu
Vyhlášený snajpr Bayeru Leverkusen a také pěti prestižních evropských lig, dříve rovněž Sampdorie Janov, AS Řím, Lipska, ale také fotbalista Sparty a Bohemians, se zaskvěl zejména na EURO 2020. S pěti góly se společně s Cristianem Ronaldem stal střelcem turnaje. Jednoho z nejlepších fotbalistů historie však předčil právě svým dalekonosným až bájným lobem, pomalu padesátimetrovým, do sítě Skotů, nejkrásnějším zásahem šampionátu, skutečně střelou roku.
“Dostal se ke mně odražený balon, už během zápasu jsem se koukal, kde stojí gólman. Periferně jsem se podíval, viděl jsem, že je venku, a prásknul to tam.”
Patrik, stále jen šestadvacetiletý, se vypracoval na forvarda světového formátu, sledují ho pomalu všechny excelentní kluby včetně Paris Saint-Germain. Jen si představme, že by nastupoval po boku Messiho a Neymara! A proč by ne, vždyť je komplexním fotbalistou a k tomu kanonýrem, skvělým technikem, který zakončuje oběma nohama, nemálo gólů střílí hlavou. V bundeslize dokáže střelecky soutěžit s takovou star, jakou je snajpr Bayernu Robert Lewandowski, nejlepší hráč FIFA posledních dvou let.
“Pro mě bylo EURO povedeným turnajem,” svěřil Patrik Schick. “Ovšem všichni víme, že jsme při troše štěstí mohli být ještě výše. Učinili jsme maximum, v závěru zápasu s Dány jsme už neměli sílu ho zvrátit.”
Bez Patrika si sestavu Čechů jen těžko dokáže představit Jaroslav Šilhavý. Národnímu kouči a týmu Česka výrazně pomohl vyválčit na Evropě čtvrfinále a nyní se k prvnímu střelci upínají naděje v zápase se Švédy o účast na světovém šampionátu 2022 v Kataru. V průběhu roku Patrik může navíc poměřit své schopnosti právě s Cristianem Ronaldem či Álvaro Moratou v utkáních Ligy národů s Portugalskem a Španělskem.
“Hráčům jsme po prohraném čtvrfinále s Dánskem poděkovali. Na EURO jsme hráli na hranici svých možností a pracovali na něm jako tým. Osobně naši účast na šampionátu hodnotím jako úspěch. Co jsme dokázali, je úžasné,” řekl Jaroslav Šilhavý. “Naši hráči celý šampionát odmakali, vydali se na turnaji na 150 procent a zaslouží si absolutorium.”
Kouč, který národní mužstvu vyzvedl z šedivého průměrně a výtečně tým pro turnaj vyladil, nechtěl nikoho vyzvedávat, ale je nad slunce jasné, že stěžejní oporou se stal Patrik Schick.
Právě jeho, bezpochyby nejlepšího fotbalistu Česka současnosti, představuje tato originální výpravná kniha obohacená plakátem. Vznikla ve spolupráci s fotbalovým měsíčníkem Hattrick a je věnována všem fanouškům české fotbalové reprezentace a fotbalu vůbec.
