Radio and the Performance of Government
Throughout the Second World War, the Czechoslovak Government-in-Exile broadcast over the BBC from London, hoping to reach out to their former compatriots living in a divided and occupied Europe. As the only way of projecting their authority, President Beneš and his colleagues relied on the radio as a stage on which to perform as the government they wished to be, representing a Czechoslovak state they hoped to recreate after the war. Despite a ban on listening to foreign broadcasts in the German-occupied Protectorate and Slovakia, many tuned in to hear ‘London calling’ and the broadcasts provided the strongest connection between the London Czechoslovaks and the audience at home.
This work examines this government programme for the first time, making use of previously unstudied archival sources to examine how the exiles understood their mission and how their propaganda work was shaped by both British and Soviet influences. This study assesses the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the government’s radio propaganda as they navigated the complexities of exile, with chapters examining how they used the radio to establish their own authority, how they understood the past and future of a Czechoslovak nation, and how they struggled to include Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia within it.

Elsewhere
From the acclaimed author of Sunday Times no. 1 bestseller Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a YA novel of hope, love and redemption about Liz's life after life.
ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME
Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are beautiful. It's quiet and peaceful. You can't get sick and you can't get older. In Elsewhere, death is only the beginning …
Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she is killed in a hit-and-run accident. It is a place very like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backwards from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driving licence. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. She doesn't want to get to know a grandmother she's never met before and have to make all-new friends.
How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Or is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?
The Siren, the Song and the Spy
A diverse resistance force fights to topple an empire in this vibrant fantasy about freedom, identity and decolonization.
By sinking a fleet of Imperial Warships, the Pirate Supreme and their resistance fighters have struck a massive blow against the Emperor. Now allies from across the empire are readying themselves, hoping against hope to bring about the end of the conquerors' rule and the rebirth of the Sea. But trust and truth are hard to come by in this complex world of mermaids, spies, warriors, and aristocrats. Who will Genevieve - lavishly dressed but washed up, half dead, on the Wariuta island shore - turn out to be? Is warrior Koa's kindness towards her admirable, or is his sister Kaia's sharp suspicion wiser? And back in the capital, will pirate-spy Alfie really betray the Imperials who have shown him affection, especially when a duplicitous senator reveals xe would like nothing better?
Meanwhile, the Sea is losing more and more of herself as her daughters continue to be brutally hunted, and the Empire continues to expand through profits made from their blood. The threads of time, a web of schemes, shifting loyalties, and blossoming identities converge in this story of unlikely young allies trying to forge a new and better world.
Invisible Child
Based on nearly a decade of reporting, Invisible Child follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child with an imagination as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn homeless shelter. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolise Brooklyn's gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani moves with her family from shelter to shelter, this story traces the passage of Dasani's ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north.
Dasani comes of age as New York City's homeless crisis is exploding. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani leads her seven siblings through a thicket of problems: hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system.
When, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love?
By turns heartbreaking and revelatory, provocative and inspiring, Invisible Child tells an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality.
Zátopkovi u Nepilů - Audiokniha na CD
Dana a Emil Zátopkovi mi pomáhali, už je to dávno, skoro čtyřicet let, propagovat hnutí Buď fit. Ve šťastné chvilce se zrodil nápad seznámit je se spisovatelem Františkem Nepilem, v mládí talentovaným atletem Sparty, v pozdějším věku zapáleným rekreačním běžcem. Osvícení během, skvělí vypravěči, mohli by si rozumět. Na jaře 1988 jsme se sešli u Nepilů na proslulé chalupě ve Stradonicích. Krátce trvalo zdvořilé vykání a formální oslovování. Paní a pánové brzy zmizeli, zůstali Dana, Zdenka, Emil a František. Důmyslný akvadukt ve stráni na zahradě ohromil všeuměla Emila, nádherné kraslice paní Zdeny zase Danu. Nenápadně jsem nahrával.
Zrodilo se přátelství. Zátopkovi věnovali Nepilovům keř „špendlíku“, František obratem zhotovil štítek, do dřeva vlastnoručně vypálil pyšné oznámení, že to je dar olympijských vítězů. U Zátopků Nepilovi obdivovali Danin vítězný oštěp z olympijských her v Helsinkách, jejím chotěm zručně přetvořený v prachobyčejný smeták. Společně probírali taje esperanta, i Holka modrooká se dá tím umělým jazykem zazpívat, předváděl Emil. Život s ním byl vskutku veselý, jak mi Dana později vyprávěla v rozhlasovém cyklu Tisíc příběhů. A František se pochlubil, že také běžel na prvním stadiónu světa v Olympii, že doběhl první,
protože utíkal sám, dokonce třikrát, než manželka pořídila snímek, a ještě k tomu omylem v protisměru…
V populárním nástěnném telefonním seznamu u Zátopků byli Nepilovi zapsáni do I. kategorie: „Volají kamarádi!“1 Úvod 8:10
Lacná kniha Židovský blues
Narodil se v Praze, v deseti přišel do Německa a v sedmnácti začal studovat Němce – jejich knihy, jejich ženy, jejich chyby. Billerova autobiografická kniha vypráví jako román tragikomický příběh Žida, který se stane spisovatelem v zemi, v níž už žádní Židé žít neměli. Židovské blues je příběh o umělci jako mladém muži, který pátrá po svém místě v životě. Vypráví lehce, ironicky a poeticky o člověku, který stále dokola slýchá, že by neměl trvat na tom, že bude tím, kým je, ale nejpozději v té chvíli dá všem na vědomí, že jakmile začne psát, nikdo a nic ho nezastaví.
Maxim Biller je bezesporu jedním z nejotevřenějších a nejprovokativnějších německy píšících autorů. Narodil se 1960 v Praze v rusko-židovské rodině, o deset let později emigroval s rodiči do Hamburku a dnes žije v Berlíně. Studoval literaturu na univerzitách v Hamburku a Mnichově a brzy začal publikovat v prestižních listech (Tempo, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit) kritické a ironické sloupky. Když mu v roce 1990 vyšel knižně povídkový soubor Až budu bohatý a mrtvý, zařadil se mezi respektované německy píšící prozaiky. Jeho román Esra (2003) byl na základě soudního rozhodnutí stažen z knihkupeckých pultů a zakázán. Fantastického přijetí se dočkala zejména jeho předposlední kniha Použitý Žid (Der gebrauchte Jude; česky pod názvem Židovský blues, Labyrint 2015). A velkou pozornost získala také ta poslední, novela V hlavě Bruna Schulze (Im Kopf von Bruno Schulz, 2013).
V nakladatelství Labyrint česky vyšly jeho knihy Obyčejné lásky (2010) a Země otců a zrádců (2011).

The King: The Life of Charles III
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and longest-serving heir in British history.
Since the day Charles Philip Arthur George was born, he has been groomed to be King. After more than seventy years of waiting, he finally ascends the throne.
The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King-a man who has remained something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue-is really like.
The King is the first biography of Charles since he has become monarch and serves as an authoritative chronicle of his life.
