Black country to red China
Born in pre-Revolutionary China and brought up in the Midlands, Esther Cheo Ying returned to China in 1949 after a traumatic childhood, convinced that there she would find the happiness and sense of belonging she longed for. Caught up in the turmoil of civil war and sympathetic to the Communist Revolution, she joined the Red Army and then stayed on to work in the new People's Republic. But despite her determination to make a new life in China, could she truly be happy in a country which encouraged constant self criticism and viewed her as a "false foreign devil?" Here is an extraordinary account of life before the Cultural Revolution, and a fascinating insight into one woman's struggle to come to terms with her own identity.

Endal
The remarkable story of Endal, voted 'Dog of the Millennium', and how, through his remarkable skills, companionship and unstinting devotion, he gave Allen Parton a reason to live again. Allen Parton was seriously injured while serving in the Gulf War. He lost the use of both of his legs, plus all memories of his children and much of his marriage. He was left unable to walk, talk or write - isolated in his own world. After five years of intensive therapy and rehab, he was still angry, bitter and unable to talk. Until a chance encounter with a Labrador puppy - Endal - who had failed his training as an assistance dog on health grounds. They 'adopted' each other, and Endal became Allen's reason to communicate with the outside world, to come to terms with his injuries, and to want to live again. Not content with learning over 200 commands to help Allen complete everyday tasks like getting dressed and going out to the shops in his wheelchair, Endal gave Allen the ability to start living again, and to become a husband and father again in his own special way. This is the incredible story of Allen, his wife Sandra, and his family. And, of course, Endal.

Brighton Graffiti
V dřívějších letech se v Brightonu bavili lordi, dnes je městem kvetoucí subkultury, která se zde rozvíjí od 80. let. Kniha dokumentuje historii graffiti v tomto městě, od prvních tagů až po díla mezinárodních týmů z celého světa. Text v angličtině. The art of graffiti is alive and well in this English city by the sea, where the city and artists are working together to turn what was considered a public nuisance into a legitimate and treasured part of the Brighton experience. In page after page of powerful images, the authors present a pictorial evolution of street art, displaying an incredible range of styles and talents. This book documents the history of Brighton graffiti, from the first crude tags that were meant to defile to the dazzling murals painted on the seawalls which extend along the coast, drawing graffiti crews from all over the world. These photographs are interspersed with quotes from the most important graffiti artists who have worked in Brighton. What emerges is an inspiring example of graffiti as a valid, respected and treasured art form within the town.

Song of Susannah
Song of Susannah continues directly from the almost literally cliff-hanging epilogue to Wolves of the Calla. Meanwhile the penultimate instalment in the Dark Tower septet follows three interlocked storylines. Roland and Eddie in New England, where
they undergo the firestorm of the books only major action set-piece, Jake and Father Callahan hot in pursuit of Susannah in New York, and Susannah herself, together with her alter ego Mia, struggling with probably the strangest pregnancy in all fic
tion. Her travails certainly make the New York horrors of Ira Levins Rosemarys Baby seem almost mundane. The novel is not complete in itself, but leads to a duel climax-cliffhanger leading directly into the final volume, The Dark Tower. While th
e journey itself is compelling and the finale riveting, it is Stephen Kings imaginative boldness which make this episode so remarkable. Stories about storytelling have become increasingly common in modern fiction, with books within books and fiction
al authors being central to such metafictions as Christopher Priests The Affirmation and Jonathan Carrolls The Land of Laughs. King though takes the process further, writing himself into the saga, playing ingenious games with what the public knows
of his life, even to his famous near fatal accident in 1999, and in a breathtaking achievement weaving the 34 year long writing of this series of books into its own fabric. The shocking sting in the final pages mean all bets are off for the epic fina
l volume.

Drobec
Drobec bol vždy väčší a mohutnejší ako jeho rovesníci. Silný, ale spomalený chlapík. Pád zo schodov (za otcovho prispenia) nebol zďaleka posledný, ktorý zažil vo svojom bezvýznamnom živote. Dno ho priam magicky priťahovalo a svet ho tĺkol tak, ako on tĺkol svoje obete. Po tom, ako v mladosti ušiel z polepšovne, sa stretáva s Georgeom, príležitostným kriminálnikom, ktorý na všetko pozná odpoveď. Spolu vytvoria obojstranne výhodný vzťah, kde kvality toho druhého dopĺňajú slabé stránky prvého. George vymyslí plán, ako prísť ľahko k peniazom - únos dieťaťa bohatých rodičov a požadovanie vysokého výkupného. V momente, keď Georgea zabijú, Drobec pokračuje v začatej práci na vlastnú päsť. Nedokáže však konať bez svojho mŕtveho kumpána, a preto si ho vytvorí vo forme imaginárneho alter ega. Problémy nedajú na seba dlho čakať. Nebolo by predsa len rozumnejšie zbaviť sa dieťaťa? Drobec je príbeh Claya Blaisdella. Príbeh o nespravodlivosti, ktorou trpel, o zločinoch, ktoré spáchal, o citoch,

Oxford Bookworms Library 5 Heat and Dust
Heat and dust - these simple, terrible words describe the Indian summer. Year after year, endlessly, it is the same. And everyone who experiences this heat and dust is changed for ever. We often say, in these modern times, that sexual relationships have changed, for better or for worse. But in this book we see that things have not changed. Whether we look back sixty years, or a hundred and sixty, we see that it is not things that change, but people. And, in the heat and dust of an Indian summer, even people are not very different after all.

Little Dorrit
When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy's father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in the Marshalsea. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr Panks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, "Little Dorrit" is one of the supreme works of Dickens' maturity.

Scotland: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Since Devolution in 1999 Scotland has become a focus of intense interest both within Britain and throughout the wider world. In this Very Short Introduction, Rab Houston explores how an independent Scottish nation emerged in the Middle Ages, how it was irrevocably altered by Reformation, links with England and economic change, and how Scotland influenced the development of the modern world. Examining politics, law, society, religion, education, migration, and culture, he examines how the nation's history has made it distinct from England, both before and after Union, how it overcame internal tensions between Highland and Lowland society, and how it has today arrived at a political, social and culture watershed. Authoritative, lucid, and ranging widely over issues of environment, people, and identity, this is Scotland's story without myths: an ideal introduction for those interested in the Scots, but also a balanced yet refreshing challenge to those who already feel at home in Scotland past and present.
