The Crown
Elizabeth Mountbatten nečekala, že její otec zemře tak náhle a tak mladý. Navíc za sebou zanechal prázdný trůn a vládu nad Britským impériem. Veškerá zodpovědnost nyní přechází na mladou Elizabeth, která má už tak co dělat se svými dvěma dětmi. Sledujte i vy životní cestu ženy, která se musela naučit, jak se stát královnou.
Zatímco se Británie vypořádává s dopady války, nová panovnice musí čelit vlastním problémům. Elizabethina matka zpochybňuje její manželství, strýc se vysmívá jejím schopnostem, manžel se nechce smířit se skutečností, že bude muset obětovat kariéru i rodinné jméno. Do toho vzpurná sestra prožívá milostný románek, jenž ohrožuje několik staletí staré vazby mezi církví a korunou. Tato kniha předkládá čtenáři příběh Alžběty II., která musela využít všech svých schopností a prostředků, aby zajistila stabilitu britské monarchie.
Televizní seriál The Crown z produkce Netflixu představuje strhující portrét nejdéle vládnoucí britské panovnice. Královský životopisec Robert Lacey v této knize detailně líčí každodenní život uvnitř Buckinghamského paláce a v sídle premiéra v Downing Street č. 10, díky čemuž můžeme zhodnotit osobnost Alžběty II. ze zcela nového úhlu pohledu.

Mantel Pieces
A collection of essays and memoir from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel In 1987, when Hilary Mantel was first published in the London Review of Books, she wrote to the editor, Karl Miller, 'I have no critical training whatsoever, so I am forced to be more brisk and breezy than scholarly.' This collection of twenty reviews, essays and pieces of memoir from the next three decades, tells the story of what happened next. Her subjects range far and wide: Robespierre and Danton, the Hite report, Saudi Arabia where she lived for four years in the 1980s, the Bulger case, John Osborne, the Virgin Mary as well as the pop icon Madonna, a brilliant examination of Helen Duncan, Britain's last witch. There are essays about Jane Boleyn, Charles Brandon, Christopher Marlowe and Margaret Pole, which display the astonishing insight into the Tudor mind we are familiar with from the bestselling Wolf Hall Trilogy.
Her famous lecture, 'Royal Bodies', which caused a media frenzy, explores the place of royal women in society and our imagination. Here too are some of her LRB diaries, including her first meeting with her stepfather and a confrontation with a circus strongman. Constantly illuminating, always penetrating and often very funny, interleaved with letters and other ephemera gathered from the archive, Mantel Pieces is an irresistible selection from one of our greatest living writers.

Babi Yar
The powerful rediscovered masterpiece of Kyiv during the Second World War, told by a young boy who saw it all.
'So here is my invitation: enter into my fate, imagine that you are twelve, that the world is at war and that nobody knows what is going to happen next...'
It was 1941 when the German army rolled into Kyiv. The young Anatoli was just twelve years old. This book is formed from his journals in which he documented what followed.
Many Ukrainians welcomed the invading army, hoping for liberation from Soviet rule. But within ten days the Nazis had begun their campaign of murdering every Jew, and many others, in the city. Babi Yar (Babyn Yar in Ukrainian) was the place where the executions took place. It was one of the largest massacres in the history of the Holocaust. Anatoli could hear the machine guns from his house.
This gripping book is the story of Ukraine's Nazi occupation, told by one ordinary, brave child. His clear, compelling voice, his honesty and his determination to survive guide us through the horrors of that time. Babi Yar has the compulsion and narration of fiction but everything recounted in this book is true.

The Pianist of Yarmouk
The incredible and inspirational true story of one young man's struggle to find peace during war, and the power of music to bring hope to a desperate nation.
'Ahmad has created a moving and visceral account of conflict, hope and the power of music' Hannah Beckerman, Observer
____________
One morning in war-torn Damascus, a starving man drags a piano into a rubbled street. Everything he once knew has been destroyed by war.
Amidst ruin and despair, he begins to play. He plays of love and hope, he plays for his family and his fellow Syrians. He plays even though he could be killed for doing so.
As word of his defiance spreads around the world, he becomes a beacon of hope and even resistance. Yet he fears for his wife and children - the more he plays, the more he and his family are endangered until, finally, he must make a terrible choice . . .
Aeham Ahmad's spellbinding and uplifting true story tells of the triumph of love and hope, the incredible bonds of family, and the healing power of music in even the very darkest of places.
___________
'In amongst the wreckage scenes of hope. An amazing man - Ahmad played the piano just to spread love' Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2
'An extraordinary, beautiful book about a man who in the midst of utter terror wheeled his piano in to the street and played for Yarmouk. He is amazing' Nihal Arthanayake BBC 5 Live
'The music of Aeham Ahmad became a symbol of resistance' Today, BBC Radio 4
'So inspiring' ITV News
'Aeham Ahmad is a talented and brave man of peace. Please read his book and pass it on to anyone who doesn't know or understand the plight of today's refugees' Stanley Tucci

Peaky Blinders
The Peaky Blinders as we know them, thanks to the hit TV series, are infused with drama and dread. Fashionably dressed, the charismatic but deeply flawed Shelby family blind enemies by slashing them with the disposable safety razor blades stitched in to the peaks of their flat caps, as they fight bloody gangland wars involving Irish terrorists and the authorities led by a devious Home Secretary, Winston Churchill.
But who were the real Peaky Blinders? Did they really exist?
Well-known social historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, has spent decades searching them out. Now he reveals the true story of the notorious Peaky Blinders, one of whom was his own great grandfather and, like the Shelbys, his grandfather was an illegal bookmaker in back-street Birmingham.
In this gripping social history, Chinn shines a light on the rarely reported struggles of the working class in one of the great cities of the British Empire before the First World War. The story continues after 1918 as some Peaky Blinders transformed into the infamous Birmingham Gang. Led by the real Billy Kimber, they fought a bloody war with the London gangsters Darby Sabini and Alfie Solomon over valuable protection rackets extorting money from bookmakers across the booming postwar racecourses of Britain.
Drawing together a remarkably wide-range of original sources, including rarely seen images of real Peaky Blinders and interviews with relatives of the 1920s gangsters, Peaky Blinders: The Real Story adds a new dimension to the true history of Birmingham's underworld and fact behind its fiction.
The English Teacher: A Novel
For readers of John Le Carre and viewers of "Homeland," a slow-burning psychological spy-thriller by a former brigadier general of intelligence in the Israeli army After attending her father s funeral, former Mossad agent Rachel Goldschmitt empties her bank account and disappears. But when she makes a cryptic phone call to her former handler, Ehud, the Mossad sends him to track her down. Finding no leads, he must retrace her career as a spy to figure out why she abandoned Mossad before she can do any damage to Israel. But he soon discovers that after living under cover for so long, an agent s assumed identity and her real one can blur, catching loyalty, love, and truth between them. In the midst of a high-risk, high-stakes investigation, Ehud begins to question whether he ever knew his agent at all. In "The English Teacher," Yiftach R. Atir drew on his own experience in intelligence to weave a psychologically nuanced thriller that explores the pressures of living under an assumed identity for months at a time. Praise for "The English Teacher" An extraordinary page turner, told with clarity, insight, and compassion, "The English Teacher" offers a rare and realistic portrait of the unrelenting sacrifices of living a double life. Gideon Raff [Yiftach R. Atir] probes how leading a double life can erode the foundations of a spy s former existence; how all of the lies are rooted in truth, and the truth, especially when it comes to love, is often coated with a patina of lies. . . . Masterful. "The Times of Israel" The book . . . does exactly what a novel of its kind should do: re-examine the Mossad. Throughout the book . . . doubts are cast on personal as well as national morality. . . . Atir seeks to pinpoint the fine line separating the moral actions that operatives perform for their country and their own exploitation. "Ha aretz""

Pandala-szigetek
Parádi Orsolya neve sokaknak ismerősen cseng már, hiszen ő az, aki varázslatos mesét lehel bármelyik kavicsba. Rendszeresen tart - Magyarországon és külföldön egyaránt - felnőtteknek szóló workshopokat, illetve gyerekfoglalkozásokat, ezekre az alkalmakra mindig visz magával színezőt is. Az itt szerzett tapasztalataiból, valamint a lelkes visszajelzésekből született ez a csodálatos füzet, mely a Pandala-szigetek varázslatos világába kalauzol minket.
Ha elmerülünk e különleges mesevilágban, és színekkel töltjük meg Parádi Orsolya különleges teremtményeit, garantáltan elmélyült szórakozást és aktív pihenést csempészhetünk stresszel teli világunkba.
Az első, magyar alkotótól született, felnőtteknek szánt meditatív színezőt - melynek minden vonala egyedi és kézzel rajzolt - élvezettel forgathatja bárki, aki egy kis belső csendre vágyik!
"A pandala szót a görög pan (Pangea, Panthalassza) és a szanszkrit mandala szavak ötvözésével találtam ki. Egy olyan ősi helyet és állapotot jelöl, ahol zavartalanul élnek együtt az élőlények. A színező megrajzolásakor igazán belevetettem magam a részletekbe, az apró motívumok tengerébe. Remélem, nagy örömöt és kikapcsolódást jelent majd megtölteni színekkel a képeket!" (Parádi Orsolya)
"Színezni annyi, mint új világot teremteni. Hiszek abban, hogy ha időt szentelsz arra, hogy lüktető színekkel töltsd be ezeket a lapokat, észrevétlenül az életedet is átfested általa. Próbáld ki!" (Dr. Kádár Annamária pszichológus, tréner)
"Gyerekkorom óta imádom a színeket. Kikapcsol és elvarázsol a színek egymásmellettisége. Orsi precíz és fantáziadús munkája pedig lenyűgöz, különösen azért, mert kicsit újra gyerek lehet általa." (Góbi Rita táncos-koreográfus)

Mid-Century Modern Furniture
The ultimate collector's resource, including hundreds of pieces by both well- and lesser-known designers from around the world.
From armchairs and chaises longues to cabinets and nightstands, the period between the late 1930s and early 1970s was one of the most productive, inventive and exciting eras for objects and furniture in the home. Post-war optimism combined with new manufacturing methods and material techniques to create an explosion of new design and objects of desire.
The appetite for mid-century modern remains as strong as ever, both for classic designs - many still in production since they were launched - and for rare, hard-to- find or out-of-production pieces from lesser-known designers. While numerous books surveying mid-century modern style have appeared over the years, no publication has been specifically conceived for the increasing collector's market in mid-century modern design, focusing on each piece of furniture as an object of formal invention, manufacturing intelligence and material innovation.
This definitive book profiles hundreds of pieces in a substantial format perfect for reference in design libraries, studios and the homes of private collectors - or as an object of design in its own right. Each item of furniture is presented in detail, illustrated in colour and profiled via in-depth descriptive texts by Dominic Bradbury. The book's substantial reference section includes essays on materials (eg, plywood) and designer profiles. Work by a host of influential talents is profiled throughout, alongside lesser-known pieces by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, Lina Bo Bardi and Alexander Girard.

The Lady from Zagreb
In 1942, there are many worse places to be than Zurich, and detective Bernie Gunther has seen his fair share of them. So when a superior asks him to track down a glamorous German actress believed to be hiding in Zurich, he takes the job. Not that he has much choice: the superior is Goebbels himself. Soon Bernie finds himself involved in something much more sinister. The actress, it emerges, is the daughter of a fanatical Croatian fascist, the sadistic commandant of a notorious concentration camp. And the Swiss police have a cold case that they want Bernie to take a look at: one that seems to have connections to some powerful people back in the Reich. The Lady from Zagreb is another inimitable Bernie Gunther investigation from Philip Kerr: a rich, dark and fast-paced adventure of a nightmarish time and a lonely, indomitable hero.

Seven Good Years
Over the last seven years Etgar Keret has had plenty of reasons to worry. His son, Lev, was born in the middle of a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. His father became ill. And he has been constantly tormented by nightmarish visions of the Iranian president Ahmadinejad, anti-Semitic remarks both real and imagined, and, perhaps most worrisome of all, a dogged telemarketer who seems likely to chase him to the grave. Emerging from these darkly absurd circumstances is a series of funny, tender ruminations on everything from his three-year-old son's impending military service to the terrorist mindset behind Angry Birds. Moving deftly between the personal and the political, the playful and the profound, The Seven Good Years takes a life-affirming look at the human need to find good in the least likely places, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our capricious world.
