Personality and Power
One of the great historians of our age asks: how far can a single leader alter the course of history?
The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were re-shaped and wars fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities had somehow given them the ability to do whatever they wished.
Ian Kershaw's new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders and the times they lived in that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill to de Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev, and Thatcher to Kohl, Kershaw uses his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly different figures wielded power.
YSL LEXICON
Yves Saint Laurent (1936 - 2008) is credited with reviving French haute couture in the 1960s, with making ready-to-wear reputable, and with using non-European cultural references. In addition to the kaleidoscope of images in this book, a coterie of tastemakers have supplied listings that encompass YSL s style inspirations (C is for Costumes, as exemplified by the Russian theme of the famed autumn-winter 1976 77 collection; T is for Tuxedo, which the designer initially referenced with his 1965 Le Smoking ) and important facets of his life (J is for Jardin Majorelle, the garden of the couturier s paradisiacal retreat in Marrakech; R is for Rive Gauche, the bohemian, chic neighbourhood of Paris where the YSL boutique is situated and also the name of the house s famous perfume launched in 1970). This distillation and celebration of the designer s life reveals the inner world of a twentieth-century master.
Haunted
If you could see them all, there would be ghosts everywhere you look--in homes, schools, churches, cemeteries, hotels, hospitals, and even city streets. Where there have been living people there is lingering dead as well. Yes, far more cross over to the Other Side after they pass away, but if you think about it, there have been so many people on Earth since modern man emerged, that there are a lot of wandering souls as well.
In this book, I want to cover the various ghosts I've felt, seen, interacted with, and helped over the years. We'll also look at the different types of spirits, why they tend to stick around, how they contact us, imaginary friends, haunted people, how to know if you're house is haunted, and more. I'll also show you ways to help these stuck entities go to The Light or make them leave your home.

Too Much of Life - The Complete Cronicas
The things I've learned from taxi drivers would be enough to fill a book. They know a lot: they really do get around. I may know a lot about Antonioni that they don't know. Or maybe they do even when they don't. There are various ways of knowing by not-knowing. I know: it happens to me too. The cronica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers (or even soccer stars) to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector's pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio's leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love. This new, large, and beautifully translated volume, Too Much of Life: The Complete Cronicas presents a new aspect of the great writer-at once off the cuff and spot on.

Nino Cerruti
"Fashion is balance, with a dash of theatre," was Nino Cerruti's favourite bon mot. This monograph, the most substantial on him to date, is an entertaining and gorgeously illustrated homage to the great Italian fashion designer, whose deconstructed jackets and supple fabrics revolutionised menswear in the 1960s. He took over the family business, which his father established in 1881, at the age of 20 and immediately began to make his mark.
In 1965 he opened a boutique in Paris where he launched women's fashion, being the first designer to focus on pants (this at a time when many restaurants in Paris denied women entry if they were wearing pants). He dressed generations of movie stars, both on and off screen, including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Yves Montand, Catherine Deneuve, Richard Gere (wearing a Cerruti suit in Pretty Woman), Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, and Kathleen Turner, among others. This book showcases the elegant nonchalance and uncompromising creativity that went into his designs and follows his career as one of the great pioneers of 20th century fashion.
Reign - Life in Elizabeth's Britain Part I
She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, Winston Churchill was prime minister, sweets were rationed, mums stayed at home and kids played on bombsites. In the seventy years that followed everything changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation with which she became synonymous.
While the Queen is the motif for this book, the story Engel tells is not about her - it is primarily about the British. Through original research, interviews with people who were there and his own memories of the time, Matthew Engel traces the transformation of life in Britain as never before.
Beginning with the death of King George VI and ending on the eve of Margaret Thatcher's election, Engel not only covers all the major historical events but also explores everyday life - from the food we ate and where we shopped, to what we watched on television and the newspapers we read. In doing so, he brings these three decades to life with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

A Line Above the Sky
'This book is beautiful' Emma Jane Unsworth
Climbing gives you the illusion of being in control, just for a while, the tantalising sense of being able to stay one move ahead of death.
Helen Mort has always been drawn to the thrill and risk of climbing: the tension between human and rockface, and the climber's powerful connection to the elemental world. But when she becomes a mother for the first time, she finds herself re-examining her relationship with both the natural world and herself, as well as the way the world views women who aren't afraid to take risks.
A Line Above the Sky melds memoir and nature writing to ask why humans are drawn to danger, and how we can find freedom in pushing our limits. It is a visceral love letter to losing oneself in physicality, whether climbing a mountain or bringing a child into the world, and an unforgettable celebration of womanhood in all its forms.
Willow Witch
The second book in the saga. Johanna, Prince Roald, Nellie and Loesie have been captured by bandits.

Every step they take brings them closer to the duke who is said to be the source of evil. Is he the necromancer who has burned all of Saardam?

Cesta pouští
Přestože je období druhé světové války nesmazatelně zatíženo katastrofou šoa, podařilo se neprávem opomíjenému česko-izraelskému spisovateli Otu B. Krausovi (1921 Praha – 2000 Netanja) napsat román, v němž tyto události pro hlavního hrdinu, dospívajícího židovského mladíka Štěpána, představují spíše jen historický kontext. Hrůzy holokaustu, jimiž si Kraus i jeho pozdější žena Dita, „osvětimská knihovnice“, prošli, zůstávají jen jako stín dokreslující tíživou atmosféru doby, v níž Štěpán dospívá. Krausův román je citlivou a sugestivní výpovědí o mladém muži, jehož hledání prvních lásek, vlastní české židovské identity, ale i vztahu k práci, rodičům a určujícím ideologiím 20. století (marxismus, sionismus) je ortenovsky bolestné i krásné zároveň. Štěpán je pro svůj původ vyloučen z gymnázia, posléze před okupací prchne do sovětského Ruska, kde ovšem rychle ze sociálně utopických snů i nepřekročitelné bariéry mezi domácím a cizím vystřízliví. Vrací se do protektorátu, kde jej mezitím postupující represe přivedou k práci na statku v severních Čechách. Zemědělství se objevuje jako motiv téměř ruralisticko-sionistický (Palestina), líčení je ovšem velmi atraktivní a tajemné: na statku sehrávají hlavní roli Němci i čarodějnice – obraz erotického napětí, které si ničím nezadá s žítkovskými bohyněmi, jež český čtenář objeví až několik desetiletí po napsání Cesty pouští . Celý románmetafora ve své kombinaci důvěrného líčení „velkých dějin“ a „individuálních osudů“ připomene vrcholná díla Ferdinanda Peroutky (Oblak a valčík ) či Egona Hostovského, po jejichž bok se v překladu z anglického originálu suverénně řadí.
Koshersoul
The James Beard award-winning author of the acclaimed The Cooking Gene explores the cultural crossroads of Jewish and African diaspora cuisine and issues of memory, identity, and food.
In Koshersoul, Michael W. Twitty considers the marriage of two of the most distinctive culinary cultures in the world today: the foods and traditions of the African Atlantic and the global Jewish diaspora. To Twitty, the creation of African-Jewish cooking is a conversation of migrations and a dialogue of diasporas offering a rich background for inventive recipes and the people who create them.
The question that most intrigues him is not just who makes the food, but how the food makes the people. Jews of Color are not outliers, Twitty contends, but significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. Koshersoul also explores how food has shaped the journeys of numerous cooks, including Twitty's own passage to and within Judaism.
As intimate, thought-provoking, and profound as The Cooking Gene, this remarkable book teases the senses as it offers sustenance for the soul.
Koshersoul includes 48-50 recipes.
