Remembering Peasants
A way of life that once encompassed most of humanity is vanishing in one of the greatest transformations of our time: the eclipse of the rural world by the urban.
In this new history of peasantry, Patrick Joyce tells the story of this lost world and its people. In contrast to the usual insulting stereotypes, we discover a rich and complex culture: traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day. Into this passionate history, written with exquisite care, Joyce weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered - and misremembered - in contemporary culture.
This is a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented in human history. Yet for Joyce, we are all the children of peasants, who must respect the experience of our ancestors. This is particularly pressing when our knowledge of the land is being lost to climate crisis and the rise of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely and vital, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on our history and our future remains profoundly relevant.

Lacná kniha S kabelkou kolem světa a kompostu
Magda Jogheeová (Šimíčková) se narodila 13. října 1953 v Uherském Hradišti. Vystudovala Fakultu žurnalistiky Univerzity Karlovy v Praze. Žila poněkud nomádským způsobem života. Bydlela na jižní Moravě, v Ostravě, v Praze, na ostrově Mauricius a od roku 1989 bydlí na Českolipsku. Tak dlouho na jednom místě nikdy nepobyla… možná 1je čas na změnu. Líbilo by se jí Bali, Martinik i Mongolsko. Má tři dcery.
Pracovala jako redaktorka v Mladém světě, Mladé frontě, Lidových novinách a SD – sobotní příloze regionálních novin. Byla u zrodu občanského sdružení Pasant a dvanáct let pracovala s drogově závislými lidmi a bezdomovci. Vlastně nikdy neskončila, protože se dodnes potkávají v ulicích České Lípy. Fejetony vycházely v letech 1979– 983 v Mladém světě, 1992–1993 v Českolipských novinách, 1994–1996 v Magazínu Lidových novin, 1994–1998 v Nedělních Lidových novinách a Víkendu Mladé fronty, od roku 2007 spolupracuje s ONA Dnes. Fejetony S kabelkou kolem světa a kompostu jsou z let 2011–2013. Třetina z nich vyšla v ONA Dnes.
„Fejetony jsou moje láska stejně jako psi, kočky, jeřábi, havrani a jiní ptáci a vůbec všechna zvířata včetně myší a potkanů, slunce, stromů a hvězd na nebi… Občas bývá obohacující také setkání s lidmi. Když vás zrovna neválcují nákupním vozíkem, nevybržďují, nenabízejí výhodný telefonní tarif či pánev se zázračným povrchem. Ale hezky si s vámi povídají u stolečku s kávou, bez věčného zvedání mobilu s neomezeným voláním a bez toho, že šíleně spěchají. Nebo jdou s vámi třeba na procházku…“

Sparks - The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman (Deluxe Version) CD
KDO: Americká bratrská dvojice Ron a Russell Maelovi se rozhodla založit skupinu Sparks již v roce 1969. Od té doby prošla skupina několika stylovými proměnami. V roce 1979 bratři zakopali kytary glam rocku, oblíbili si elektronickou hudbu a začali spolupracovat s italským producentem Giorgio Moroderem. Od té doby se výčet spolupracovníků rozrostl kupříkladu o Finitribe, Les Rita Mitsouko, Erasure, Faith No More a Franz Ferdinand.
CO: Dvaadvacáté album „The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman“ vyšlo původně v roce 2009 a po dlouhou dobu bylo ceněnou sběratelskou raritou. Nyní konečně vychází v remasterované deluxe podobě na 2LP a na CD.

Lacná kniha Le Relais d´Alsace
Gredel et Lena, les deux servantes si pareilles avec leurs cheveux ébouriffés et leur visage de poupée, dressaient les couverts sur six tables, les plus proches du comptoir, posaient sur la nappe petits carreaux les verres de couleur, long pied, destinés au vin d'Alsace. Accoudée la caisse, Mme Keller chuchotait et son mari l'écoutait, debout, en se balançant un peu sur sa béquille. Ils employaient entre eux le patois alsacien. C'est bien entendu ?... Je lui parle ?... " disait Mme Keller, qui tenait par habitude un crayon la main. Derrire elle, un judas permettait de passer les plats de la cuisine la salle. Le chef y montra la tte. " Vous n'avez pas d'allumettes ? " Elle en chercha dans le tiroir plein de pices de monnaie. Son mari, pesant sur la béquille, fouilla ses poches, tendit une boîte."

Lacná kniha Flight of the Falcon (-90%)
As a young guide for Sunshine Tours, Armino Fabbio leads a pleasant, if humdrum life -- until he becomes circumstantially involved in the murder of an old peasant woman in Rome. The woman, he gradually comes to realise, was his family's beloved servant many years ago, in his native town of Ruffano. He returns to his birthplace, and once there, finds it is haunted by the phantom of his brother, Aldo, shot down in flames in '43. Over five hundred years before, the sinister Duke Claudio, known as The Falcon, lived his twisted, brutal life, preying on the people of Ruffano. But now it is the twentieth century, and the town seems to have forgotten its violent history. But have things really changed? The parallels between the past and present become ever more evident.

The Admirable Crichton
A moment before the curtain rises, the Hon. Ernest Woolley drives up to the door of Loam House in Mayfair. There is a happy smile on his pleasant, insignificant face, and this presumably means that he is thinking of himself. He is too busy over nothing, this man about town, to be always thinking of himself, but, on the other hand, he almost never thinks of any other person. Probably Ernest's great moment is when he wakes of a morning and realises that he really is Ernest, for we must all wish to be that which is our ideal. We can conceive him springing out of bed light-heartedly and waiting for his man to do the rest. He is dressed in excellent taste, with just the little bit more which shows that he is not without a sense of humour: the dandiacal are often saved by carrying a smile at the whole thing in their spats, let us say. Ernest left Cambridge the other day, a member of The Athenaeum (which he would be sorry to have you confound with a club in London of the same name). He is a bachelor, but not of arts, no mean epigrammatist (as you shall see), and a favourite of the ladies. He is almost a celebrity in restaurants, where he dines frequently, returning to sup; and during this last year he has probably paid as much in them for the privilege of handing his hat to an attendant as the rent of a working-man's flat. He complains brightly that he is hard up, and that if somebody or other at Westminster does not look out the country will go to the dogs. He is no fool. He has the shrewdness to float with the current because it is a labour-saving process, but he has sufficient pluck to fight, if fight he must (a brief contest, for he would soon be toppled over). He has a light nature, which would enable him to bob up cheerily in new conditions and return unaltered to the old ones. His selfishness is his most endearing quality. If he has his way he will spend his life like a cat in pushing his betters out of the soft places, and until he is old he will be fondled in the process.

The Thames Valley Catastrophe
Two bicyclists, one a Londoner, the other an American geologist named Ward, out for a pleasant bicycle trip in the idyllic Thames valley, meet at a small village inn on the west bank of the Thames. Their parlor chat turns to the subjects of mountains and volcanic eruptions, and the difference between small vent-hole eruptions and large fissure eruptions. The Londoner speaks:"Let us be thankful," I said, carelessly, "that such things don't happen in our own times." He eyed me curiously. "Haven't happened, you mean," he answered. "We have no security that they mayn't happen again to-morrow. These fissure-eruptions, though not historically described for us, are common events in geological history — commoner and on a larger scale in America than elsewhere. Still, they have occurred in all lands and at various epochs; there is no reason at all why one shouldn't occur in England at present."Cycling the next morning, stopping on a river bridge, the Londoner hears a frantic cry and sees a man running on the river tow path as though being pursued by a wild animal."I glanced back to see what his pursuer might be; and then, in one second, the whole horror and terror of the catastrophe burst upon me. Its whole horror and terror, I say, but not yet its magnitude. I was aware at first just of a moving red wall, like dull, red-hot molten metal. ... I think I can recollect that my earliest idea was no more than this: "He must run, or the moving wall will overtake him!" Next instant, a hot wave seemed to strike my face. It was just like the blast of heat that strikes one in a glasshouse when you stand in front of the boiling and seething glass in the furnace. At about the same point in time, I was aware, I believe, that the dull red wall was really a wall of fire. ... a second wave from behind seemed to rush on and break: it overlaid and outran the first one. This second wave was white, not red — at white heat, I realized. Then, with a burst of recognition, I knew what it all meant. What Ward had spoken of last night — a fissure eruption!"How will he escape? Is Ward toasted? Will the torrent of molten rock follow the river valley to London? Can he warn people in time to flee and save lives? Will London be destroyed? ... !
