The End of the Day
The second novel from Booker-longlisted Bill Clegg
Following his acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Did You Ever Have a Family, Bill Clegg returns with a profoundly moving, emotionally resonant second novel about the complicated bonds and breaking points of family and friendship. The End of the Day is an exploration of class and power, the corrosive force of secrets, the heartbeat of longing, and the redemption found in forgiveness.
A retired widow in rural Connecticut wakes to an unexpected visit from her childhood best friend whom she hasn't seen in forty-nine years.
A man arrives at a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania hotel to introduce his estranged father to his newborn daughter and finds him collapsed on the floor of the lobby.
A sixty-seven-year-old taxi driver in Kauai receives a phone call from the mainland that jars her back to a traumatic past.
These seemingly disconnected lives come together as half-century-old secrets begin to surface.
Deeply observed and beautifully written in Bill Clegg's signature 'eloquent, elegant voice' (Entertainment Weekly), the novel is a feat of storytelling, capturing sixty years within the framework of one fateful day.

Jean Paul Belmondo
BEBEL neboli BELMONDO. Rozpláclý nos, široký neodolatelný úsměv ve víru vrásek, kukuč šibalského šprýmaře, šaška či klauna, zároveň však image tvrdého a nekompromisního policajta i sympatického zločince nebo romantického hrdiny. To všechno jsou tváře ikony francouzského filmu Jeana-Paula Belmonda. Rebela a rošťáka, hlavní postavy francouzské nové vlny a jednoho z nejznámějších symbolů země galského kohouta dvacátého století, který po dlouhá léta patřil k nejlepším exportním artiklům francouzské kinematografie.
Jeho kouzlo nezasáhlo jen Evropu, ale celý svět. Díky snímku "U konce s dechem" vznikl v roce 1967 Bonnie a Clyde s Warrenem Beattym a Faye Dunawayovou, Quentin Tarantino zase přiznal, že bez Belmonda by nebylo jeho autorské bible Pulp Fiction, natočené v roce 1994.
Za svou padesátiletou profesionální kariéru Jean-Paul natočil víc jak 80 filmů, které navštívilo na 150 milionů diváků po celém světě. Klobouk dolů...
Revoluční snímek U konce s dechem režiséra Jeana-Luca Godarda z roku 1960 odstartoval nejen Belmondovu hvězdnou kariéru, ale i tzv. francouzskou novou vlnu, kterou se později inspirovali i českoslovenští režiséři v čele s Milošem Formanem, Ivanem Passerem, Věrou Chytilovou, Jiřím Menzelem, Jurajem Jakubiskem nebo Jurajem Herzem. Naplno se v něm projevilo Bébelovo charisma a obrovský herecký talent. Ten prokázal ve stoupající míře i v následujících filmech, patřících dnes už do zlatého fondu francouzské i světové kinematografie: Cartouche, Mužové z Ria, Hongkongku a Acapulca, Manželé z roku II, Borsalino, Zvíře, Policajt nebo rošťák, Profesionál, Dobrodruh, Veselé Velikonoce, Bezva finta, Samotář nebo Poloviční šance.
Jeho kariéra i osobní život jsou často srovnávány s vrstevníkem a neméně velkou ikonou francouzského filmu, Alainem Delonem, který byl jeho rivalem, ale nakonec i přítelem. Na plátně se potkali poprvé už v roce 1957 ve filmu Buď hezká a mlč, celkově ale pouze třikrát. Jean-Paul o jejich celoživotním soupeření a vztahu řekl v roce 2018 u příležitosti svých 85. narozenin:
"Povahově různí, ale oba současně bezstarostní a vášnivě zaujatí svým povoláním se stáváme přáteli. A to přesto, že jsme byli protikladní - já veselý a sympatický, on zasmušilý a introvertní. Já klasicky vzdělaný herec, on se stal hercem náhodou."
Zaplaťpámbu za ta slova, vždyť filmové fanoušky jejich roztržka kvůli filmu Borsalino a následující víc jak dvacet let trvající nekomunikace mrzely.
Autorka portrétních knih známých osobností líčí životní peripetie Jeana-Paula Belmonda i v souvislosti s osudy Alaina Delona.

The Fire of Joy
Clive James read, learned and recited poetry aloud for most of his life. In the last book he completed before he died, he offers a selection of his favourite poems and a personal commentary on each.
In the last months of his life, his vision impaired by surgery and unable to read, Clive James explored the treasure-house of his mind: the poems he knew best, so good that he didn’t just remember them, he found them impossible to forget. The Fire of Joy is the record of this final journey of recollection and celebration. Enthralled by poetry all his life, James knew hundreds of poems by heart. In offering this selection of his favourites, a succession of poems from the sixteenth century to the present, his aim is to inspire you to discover and to learn, and perhaps even to speak poetry aloud.
In his highly personal anthology, James offers a commentary on each of the eighty or so poems: sometimes a historical or critical note on the poem or its author, sometimes a technical point about the poem’s construction from someone who was himself a poet, sometimes a personal anecdote about the role the poem played in his own life.
Whether you’re familiar with a poem or not – whether you’re familiar with poetry in general or not – these chatty, unpretentious, often tender mini-essays convey the joy of James’s enthusiasm and the benefit of his knowledge. His urgent wish was to share with a new generation what he himself had loved. This is a book to be read cover to cover or dipped into: either way it generously opens up a world for our delight.

The luminous life of Lilly Ap
As the clock chimed the turn of the twentieth century, Lilly Nelly Aphrodite took her first breath. Born to a cabaret dancer and soon orphaned in a scandalous double murder, Lilly finds refuge at a Catholic orphanage, coming under the wing of the, at times, severe Sister August, the first in a string of lost loves.
There she meets Hanne Schmidt, a teen prostitute, and forms a bond that will last them through tumultuous love affairs, disastrous marriages, and destitution during the First World War and the subsequent economic collapse. As the century progresses, Lilly and Hanne move from the tawdry glamour of the tingle-tangle nightclubs to the shadow world of health films before Lilly finds success and stardom in the new medium of motion pictures and ultimately falls in love with a man whose fate could cost her everything she has worked for or help her discover her true self.
Gripping and darkly seductive, The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite showcases all the glitter and splendor of the brief heyday of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hollywood to its golden age. As it foreshadows the horrors of the Second World War, the novel asks what price is paid when identity becomes unfixed and the social order is upended.

The Lighthouse of Stalingrad
The sacrifices that enabled the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-45 are sacrosanct. The foundation of their eventual victory was laid during the battle for the city of Stalingrad, resting on the banks of the river Volga. For Germany, the catastrophic defeat was the beginning of their eventual demise that would see the Red Army two years later flying their flag of victory above the Reichstag. Stalingrad is seen as the pivotal battle of the Second World War, with over two million civilians and combatants either killed, wounded or captured during the bitter winter of September 1942. Both sides endured terrible conditions in brutal house-to-house fighting reminiscent of the Great War.
Within this life-and-death struggle for the heart of the city and situated on the frontline was a key strategic building, codenamed: 'The Lighthouse'. Here, a small garrison of Red Army guardsmen withstood German aerial bombardments and fought off daily assaults of infantry and armour. Red Army newspaper reports at the time would be seized upon by the Moscow media needing to place a positive spin on the fighting that had at one point looked beyond salvation. By the end of the war, the story of this building would gather further momentum to inspire Russians to rebuild their destroyed towns and cities until it became the legend it is today, renamed after the simple sergeant who had supposedly led the defence - 'Pavlov's House'.
In time for the eightieth anniversary, The Lighthouse of Stalingrad will shed fresh insight on this iconic battle through the prism of the men who fought one another over five months and the officers who commanded them. A riveting narrative, informed by both German and Russian archives to unearth unpublished memoirs and eyewitness testimonies from veterans and civilians alike, this book will celebrate the real heroes and provide a truer picture of how this mighty battle finally ended.
