Hamnet
Jedného letného dňa v roku 1596 si dievčatko ľahne na slamník s horúčkou. Jej dvojča, chlapec Hamnet, všade hľadá pomoc. Ich mama Agnes je ďaleko, v záhrade, kde pestuje liečivé byliny. Otec sa zdržiava v Londýne. Rodičia netušia, že jedno z detí sa nedožije konca týždňa.
Maggie O'Farrellová vytvorila v románe Hamnet krehký portrét syna slávneho dramatika Williama Shakespeara, chlapca, o ktorom nevieme takmer nič, jeho meno však nesie nesmrteľná tragédia z pera jeho otca, Hamlet. V alžbetínskej dobe totiž boli obe mená identické.
O'Farrellová rozpráva o Shakespearovi z pohľadu jeho manželky a detí vo chvíli, keď sú obaja manželia hlboko zranení smrťou syna. Chlapcovho otca ani raz nenazve celým menom, vždy je to len manžel, muž, mládenec, otec či brat. Jeho výzor a vystupovanie však zodpovedajú predstave, akú sme si o ňom vytvorili podľa jeho hier a historických faktov. Autorka sa zároveň vracia k histórii netradičného vzťahu mladého Willa Shakespeara a o osem rokov staršej Anne/Agnes Hathawayovej, ktorý napriek všetkému pretrval do konca ich života.
O'Farrellová mimoriadne naratívne a citlivo opisuje život v grófstve Warwickshire na konci 16. storočia. Veľkú pozornosť venuje životu žien v neskorej renesancii na starých obrazoch a bezpochyby potešia zmysly každého čitateľa.
Sú romány, ktoré otvárajú dvere minulosti a pritom ju prenesú do súčasnosti, takže nám je blízka a samozrejmá ako tlkot vlastného srdca. Hamlet pulzuje životom a dosviedča, aký krehký je tok nášho žitia.

Taste: My Life Through Food
From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.
Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.
Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.
Written with Stanley's signature wry humour and nostalgia, Taste is a heartwarming read that will be irresistible for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
File No. 113
Also known as "The Blackmailers", this story is the third book in the "Monsieur Lecoq" series.

Beatriz Milhazes
In her vibrant works, the Brazilian painter Beatriz Milhazes fuses two very different worldviews. Her abstract compositions, which can be seen in a line with modernist masters from Henri Matisse to Bridget Riley, are saturated with the colors and light of her native country. Her paintings are strewn with symbols of everyday life in Brazil, invoking carnival, traditional craftsmanship, and motifs from baroque to pop, all choreographed in an exuberant visual rhythm. The colorful atmosphere has an irresistible exotic allure, but as in the works of Paul Gauguin, we find a broken paradise in which darker, more melancholic tones resonate, both in the promises of tropical life and those of modernist abstraction.
In seeking this balance, Milhazes developed a special transfer technique in the late eighties, painting her motifs onto plastic sheets, gluing these to the canvas and letting them dry, and then peeling away the plastic once dry so that the paint remains on the canvas. This method allows the artist to layer surface upon surface and to achieve an iridescence somewhere between radiant aura and shimmering melancholy. Since her breakthrough in the early 1990s, Milhazes has extended the scope of her work to other media, producing screen prints, collages made of chocolate and candy wrappers, sculptures such as giant mobiles made of carnival decorations, site-specific projects that transform building facades into stained glass windows, and experiments with body and rhythm in collaboration with her sister Marcia's ballet ensemble.
This updated edition, which has been expanded to include works made as recently as 2020, explores all of the artist's creative phases, from her beginnings to the present, with over 300 of her works. The book was created in close collaboration with the artist, in both the selection of images and specially designed pages between chapters. It includes a conversation with editor Hans Werner Holzwarth in which the artist unravels her working methods and talks about the ideas and cultural background behind her work. An art historical essay by David Ebony, a poetic dictionary of Milhazes's key motifs by Adriano Pedrosa, and a detailed, updated artist biography by Luiza Interlenghi round off this comprehensive work.Also available in an Art Edition with a silkscreen print signed by Beatriz Milhazes
She Said
On 5 October 2017, the New York Times published an article by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey that helped change the world.
Hollywood was talking as never before. Kantor and Twohey outmanoeuvred Harvey Weinstein, his team of defenders and private investigators, convincing some of the most famous women in the world - and some unknown ones - to go on the record. Three years later, it helped lead to his conviction.
This is how they did it.

Anglické obrazné fráze a idiomy
Každý rodilý mluvčí je denně používá a ve všech anglicky psaných novinách i knihách se vyskytují zcela běžně: obrazné fráze neboli „similes“. Díky nim je komunikace názornější a živější. Slouží jako oblíbený prostředek názorného srovnávání dvou odlišných předmětů či pojmů, které nám pak plastičtěji vyvstanou před očima. Podle čeho v angličtině obrazné fráze a úsloví poznáme? Tvoří se spojením buď s výrazem as (as slippery as an eel) nebo se slovem like (např. to look like the back end of a tram apod.) Pokud se však z nich již stala idiomatická spojení, je pochopení jejich smyslu podstatně náročnější. Jako příklad uveďme: as right as ninepence, as sure as eggs is eggs a as mad as a March Hare. Vzájemné odkazy upozorňují na obrazné fráze a úsloví s identickým nebo podobným, ale i opačným významem. Vtipné ilustrace zprostředkovávají názornost a zároveň přinášejí volnější atmosféru. Tato pří-ručka je ideální doplněk pro rozvoj vaší angličtiny. Naučte se mluvit jako "pravý angličan", používejte obraty jako rodilý mluvčí. Všechny obrazné fráze jsou tematicky řazeny, knihu doplňuje abecední rejstřík.

How It Feels To Die, By One Who Has Tried It; and Other Stories
This is a collection of stories by Grant Allen, published in various years. The title story is personal. Allen nearly drowned when he fell through the ice while skating as a boy in Canada, and wrote about the experience anonymously for the Pall Mall Gazette in 1892. He claimed to have been "as dead as he ever can be or will be" and that he had no "after death" experiences. This suited his atheistic position, of course. In fact he was not "dead" at all; just unconscious, and he was quickly revived by brandy and massage. The stories are:HOW IT FEELS TO DIE. BY ONE WHO HAS TRIEDIT (1892);MERIEL STANLEY, POACHER (1900);A STUDY FROM THE NUDE (1895);MY ONE GORILLA (1890);THE TRADE OF AUTHOR (1889);A SCRIBBLER'S APOLOGY (1883).The last two are non-fiction essays by Allen about the craft of writing in his time. Here are brief reviews by Peter Morton:"'A SCRIBBLER'S APOLOGY'. A splendidly agonised piece about the true social worth of the journeyman writer's life, particularly the worth (if any) of the kind of 'tootler' which Allen represents himself as being. Published in the Cornhill in May 1883.""'THE TRADE OF AUTHOR'. This remarkable article, published in the Fortnightly Review in 1889, has just been identified as by Grant Allen. (It is not attributed in the Wellesley Index.) It is a brilliant analysis of the professional writer's plight at the time, worthy to be set against Gissing's New Grub Street."The source of these 6 stories is the website by Peter Morton, author of "The Busiest Man in England": Grant Allen and the Writing Trade, 1875-1900, published by Palgrave Macmillan, as linked from the Wikipedia page about Grant Allen.

Great Astronomers: Tycho Brahe
This is the chapter on 16th century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe from Sir Robert S. Ball's Great Astronomers, second edition, which begins: "The most picturesque figure in the history of astronomy ... Tycho Brahe was alike notable for his astronomical genius and for the extraordinary vehemence of a character which was by no means perfect. His romantic career as a philosopher, and his taste for splendour as a Danish noble, his ardent friendships and his furious quarrels, make him an ideal subject for a biographer, while the magnificent astronomical work which he accomplished has given him imperishable fame. ..."Before Tycho was seventeen he had commenced the difficult task of calculating the movements of the planets and the places which they occupied on the sky from time to time. He was not a little surprised to find that the actual positions of the planets differed very widely from those which were assigned to them by calculations from the best existing works of astronomers. With the insight of genius he saw that the only true method of investigating the movements of the heavenly bodies would be to carry on a protracted series of measurements of their places. This, which now seems to us so obvious, was then an entirely new doctrine. Tycho at once commenced regular observations in such fashion as he could."This book traces the life of Tycho Brahe (born 1546): the unusual way he was adopted by his uncle as an infant, his education, his productive years as inventor of precise astronomical instruments before telescopes, his meticulous observations, his personal life, his death as a prematurely aged man in 1601. Tycho’s observations were accurate enough for the mathematical astronomer Kepler to calculate that the planets moved in elliptic orbits, and to discover Kepler's other laws, which gave Newton the facts he needed to establish his inverse-square law of gravitation.

Pragmatism and The Meaning of Truth (EN)
Audiobook Pragmatism and The Meaning of Truth written by William James. William James was one of the most influential figures in 19th-century American philosophy and psychology. His Pragmatism is a set of lectures that he gave in 1906–07 in answer to the enduring debate between empiricism and rationalism. Shifting between them, he proposed pragmatism as a method, the idea being that the value of any truth is dependent upon its utility – upon its practical and experiential consequences.
