Bibliophobia: A Memoir


Books can seduce you. They can, Sarah Chihaya believes, annihilate, reveal, and provoke you. And anyone incurably obsessed with books understands this kind of unsettling literary encounter. Sarah calls books that have this effect “Life Ruiners”. Her Life Ruiner, Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, became a talisman for her in high school when its electrifying treatment of race exposed Sarah’s deepest feelings about being Japanese American in a predominantly white suburb of Cleveland. But Sarah had always lived through her books, seeking escape, self-definition, and rules for living. She built her life around reading, wrote criticism, and taught literature at an Ivy League University. Then she was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown, and the world became an unreadable blank page. In the aftermath, she was faced with a question. Could we ever truly rewrite the stories that govern our lives? Bibliophobia is an alternately searing and darkly humorous story of breakdown and survival told through books. Delving into texts such as Anne of Green Gables, Possession, A Tale for the Time Being, The Last Samurai, Chihaya interrogates her cultural identity, her relationship with depression, and the intoxicating, sometimes painful, ways books push back on those who love them.

Another Zionism, Another Judaism


Born in what is now Lviv, Ukraine, in 1869, Marcus Ehrenpreis was the secretary of Theodor Herzl at the First Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897, a grand rabbi of Bulgaria during two Balkan wars, a diplomat in defense of Europe''s minorities, a Swedish author compared to Joseph Conrad, the chief rabbi of one of Europe''s few unscathed Jewish communities through the Nazi era. More than a biography of a man''s life and work, this book is a literary journey by award-winning Swedish Jewish writer and public intellectual Goran Rosenberg (A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz), in search of that European Jewish world of meaning and hope that Ehrenpreis so clearly embodied, so vividly articulated, and so relentlessly worked to explain, defend, and salvage from his pulpit in Stockholm. His lifelong dream was to build a bridge between ''Israel'' and ''the peoples,'' and he believed that he could do so by bringing a spiritually and culturally revitalized Judaism into a new and self-asserted contact with the non-Jewish world. His Zionism was not about making Jews a nation like all others, in a nation-state like all others, but creating a spiritual and cultural center for the renaissance of Jewish life ''amidst the nations.'' Even as Jewish life in Europe was all but annihilated, he feared what Jewish nationalism might do to the spiritual heritage of Judaism. A meticulously researched and beautifully written story of boundless hope, unrequited love, and annihilated possibilities, Another Zionism, Another Judaism evokes a diasporic Jewish existence that would be harshly judged in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. It also reminds us of a Zionism that strived for something other than an ethnic-national fortress on a narrow strip of land in the Middle East.

Julian


The tragic life of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor of Rome, by award-winning author Philip Freeman  “When we think of ancient Rome, it’s impossible not to think of Christianity, one of its most notable exports—but what if it hadn’t been? This is the question provoked by classicist Philip Freeman in Julian, an appealing new entry in Yale’s Ancient Lives series, which tells the story of the old faith’s last imperial torchbearer.”—Anna Heyward, New York Times Book Review   Flavius Claudius Julianus, or Julian the Apostate, ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363, but during that time he turned the world upside down. Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire.   As emperor, Julian (331–363) set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies and the corrupting influence of Christianity. Christian writers and historians have seen Julian much differently: as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians. Had Julian not been killed by a random Persian spear, he might well have changed all of history.

Source Code


The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age. Source Code describes with unprecedented candour Bill Gates’ life from his childhood in Seattle to dropping out of Harvard aged 20 in 1975. Shortly afterwards he wrote, with Paul Allen, the programme which became the foundation of Microsoft and eventually for the entire software industry, changing the way the world works and lives. Gates writes about the centrality of family to his life – his encouraging grandmother and ambitious parents, about struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, and the impact on him of the death of his closest friend. We see his extraordinary mind developing as a teenager, his excitement about the rapidly emerging technology of computing, and the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen. Source Code is a warm, wise and revealing self-portrait of one of the most influential people of our age.

In the Hide


Our estate was built on land claimed from fields – we were at the foot of those rolling Kilpatrick hills, but over the roof of the school you could see more green fields and woods. I felt grateful to be on the edge of all that countryside – there was a magnetic pull towards what I thought that wild was, or could be. ‘One day, I’m going to walk to those hills and woods,’ I’d think to myself. Soon, it would become a sanctuary. Gordon Buchanan is probably the best-known natural history cameraman the BBC has ever produced. From wild snow wolf packs in Ellesmere and polar bears in Svalbard to leopards in Mumbai and equine therapy in Mongolia, he has filmed in the world's most far-reaching places for over 30 years. His dedication to his craft means he often spends weeks inside a cramped camera hide, tolerating extreme sleep deprivation and poor living conditions, all in search of that one extraordinary shot. But dangerous animals were not the only thing he was hiding from. In the Hide is Gordon's emotionally honest and raw account of a challenging childhood in Dumbarton and on Mull, and the escape and solace he found – and continues to find – in the natural world around him. An intimate and inspiring account of resilience in the face of hardship, In the Hide marks the arrival of a bold new voice in nature writing.

Bob Dylan a jeho apokalyptický déšť


Roku 2016 obdržel Bob Dylan Nobelovu cenu za literaturu. V historii je to vůbec poprvé, co Švédská akademie udělila toto prestižní ocenění písničkáři. Není náhoda, že ze stovek jeho písní se Patti Smith na slavnostním večeru při předávání cen ve Stockholmu, jehož se Dylan osobně nezúčastnil, rozhodla zazpívat jednu z nejznámějších Dylanových skladeb – „A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall“. Je to vizionářské varování před blížící se, nebo možná již probíhající apokalypsou – varování, které je dnes právě tak aktuální jako v roce 1962, kdy skladba spatřila světlo světa, ať už si onen "těžký", smrtonosný déśť, o němž se v tomto ponuře laděném rozhovoru matky s jejím "modrookým" synem zpívá, vykládáme jakkoli. Právě na této kultovní písni, která vznikla na vrcholu folkového obrození v 60. letech dvacátého století v době mezi vybudováním Berlínské zdi a karibskou krizí, demonstruje významný orální historik Alessandro Portelli Dylanova tvůrčího génia: ačkoli jeho vstup na hudební scénu působil jako zjevení, jako zrod osamocené hvězdy, která se odkudsi vynořila a rozzářila hvězdnou oblohu, na níž se skví dodnes, jeho tvorba vyvěrá z tradiční lidové kultury a sdílené paměti, kterou osobitým způsobem rozvíjí, oživuje, aktualizuje a naplňuje novými významy. Svou slavnou písní „A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall“, kterou časopis Rolling Stone označil za „největší protestní píseň napsanou největším protestním písničkářem své doby“, Dylan kreativně navazuje na velmi starou lidovou baladu „Závěť otráveného“, jejíž stopy lze nalézt v Itálii sedmnáctého století a která se pod názvem „Lord Randal“ rozšířila po celém anglosaském světě. Dylan tedy čerpá z bohaté tradiční ústní kultury, aby vyjádřil obavy a úzkosti své vlastní doby. V Dylanovi se tak tradice snoubí s modernitou a bez pochopení jeho niterného sepětí s lidovou kulturou nelze jeho dílo náležitě docenit. Klíčem k tomuto pochopení je právě tato kniha, která Dylana českému čtenáři ukáže z překvapivého, ale o to inspirativnějšího úhlu pohledu.

Remény - Önéletrajz


Ferenc pápa eredetileg úgy rendelkezett, hogy ez a kivételes dokumentum csak a halála után lásson napvilágot. Ám a remény jubileumi éve és korunk szükségletei arra sarkallták az egyházfőt, hogy már most elénk tárja értékes örökségét. A REMÉNY az első olyan önéletrajz, amelyet hivatalban lévő pápa publikál, és megírására az elmúlt hat évben került sor. Az elbeszélés a huszadik század első éveiben indul: megismerhetjük a pápa olasz gyökereit, felmenői kalandos életét és kivándorlásukat Latin-Amerikába. Ezt követi a gyermek- és serdülőkori élmények elmesélése, a hivatásválasztás, valamint a felnőttlét eseményeinek taglalása. Pápaságának egész történetét követhetjük nyomon egészen napjainkig. Ferenc szenvedélyesen, bensőséges hangnemben, finomítások nélkül tárja elénk a pápaság sarkalatos pontjait. Bátran, őszintén és profetikus erővel nyilatkozik korunk legfontosabb és leginkább vitatott témáiról: a háború és a béke problémájáról (az ukrajnai és a közel-keleti konfliktust is beleértve), a migrációról, a környezeti válságról és a társadalompolitikáról, valamint a nők helyzetével és a szexualitással, a technológiai fejlődéssel, az egyházzal és a vallások jövőjével kapcsolatos kérdésekről. Anekdotákban gazdag, szellemes, mélyen emberi és érzelmes emlékirat ez - "egy élet regénye", egyfajta erkölcsi és spirituális végrendelet, amelynek célja, hogy lenyűgözze a világ olvasóit, örökül hagyva a reményt a jövő nemzedékei számára. A kötetet Ferenc pápa magánarchívumából származó, exluzív, eddig soha nem publikált fényképek is gazdagítják. "Önéletrajzunk nem a mi magánirodalmunk - sokkal inkább útipoggyászunknak tekinthető. És az emlékezet nemcsak az, amire emlékszünk, hanem mindaz, ami körülvesz bennünket. Nem csupán arról szól, ami volt, hanem arról is, ami lesz. A tegnapnak tűnik, pedig már a holnap. Minden arra született, hogy az örök tavaszban virágozzék. A végén pedig csak annyit mondunk: semmi olyanra nem emlékszem, amiben Te ne volnál jelen."

J. Robert Oppenheimer


This captivating biography delves into the pioneering work of J. Robert Oppenheimer, from his early scientific achievements to leading the Manhattan Project and his complex legacy as the mind behind the atom bomb. The brilliant theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer is now known primarily for his work on the development of the atomic bomb from 1942-45 at Los Alamos in New Mexico. Though fascinated by the processes that created the bomb, he was horrified by its impact and the devastation wrought on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chris McNab looks at the body of prior work that led to Oppenheimer's recruitment to the Manhattan Project as well as the development of the bomb itself. It also reflects on how his political views subsequently put him in opposition to the US government and military factions and ultimately ended his career as a nuclear physicist, despite his talents.

Rudolf II


Rudolf II: The Life and Legend of the Mad Emperor offers a fresh perspective on the Habsburg ruler, shedding new light on a reign often coloured by myths of madness. Contrary to popular belief, Rudolf was not a passive recluse but an engaged monarch, navigating the complexities of state affairs with a moderate hand amid turbulent times. By contextualizing his interests in astrology, alchemy and magic, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann offers new insights into Rudolf’s support for scientific endeavours and his quest for power. It also demonstrates that Rudolf’s assembling of the greatest Kunstkammer and painting collection of his time and his patronage of artists were essential elements of Renaissance rulership. This book will appeal to a diverse audience, including enthusiasts of the occult, as well as those fascinated by Renaissance history, the Habsburg dynasty and art history.

Four Stars


The second book from acclaimed writer and journalist Joel Golby ‘There’s no one funnier than Joel Golby'' GREG JAMES‘I love this book’ DOLLY ALDERTONHow much of your life do you review? Books, TV, film, music – the reviewable things? Ever tried going a little further, reviewing the intangibles, the abstract, the ‘weird’: a houseplant; the sunlight on the pavement on a crisp spring day; being embarrassed; that strange wave you do at cars when they slow down at zebra crossings. A dead houseplant.From almond croissants to the concept of life itself, Joel Golby embarks on a journey through modern living, leaving no stone unturned – no one thing unreviewed – to consider what it all really means; why we all care so much about opinions; and whether, deep down, it’s better to live a life that’s good rather than, well, five stars out of five.

Becky Lynch: The Man


*The Sunday Times bestseller - now in paperback*By age seven, Rebecca Quin, now known in the ring as Becky Lynch, was already defying what the world expected of her. Raised in Dublin, Ireland in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry - roughhousing with the neighbourhood kids, getting older and hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began - and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary. Rebecca's deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female athletes to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the antiquated disrespect so often shown directed at the elite female athletes that grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time, and to pave a new path for female fighters. Culled from decades of journal entries and containing treasured family photos, Rebecca's memoir offers a raw, personal, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV, and a fascinating insight into the world of professional wrestling.

The Secret Painter


Joe Tucker''s Uncle Eric was a beloved yet unconventional figure throughout Joe''s life. A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he had an almost compulsive need to charm strangers with working men''s club comedy routines, and appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie - and yet had also amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements.Towards the end of his life, Eric requested an exhibition of his work. As Joe and his family sorted through hundreds of paintings of street scenes, circus and theatre performers, and busy pubs, they began to ask more questions about Eric''s life: why had this fanatically sociable man never left his mother''s home? Had Eric ever experienced love when he painted it so beautifully? And what had driven him to create so much, yet share it so rarely?In this touching, funny and thoughtful investigation of the nature of expression, the ownership of art and the secret life of those nearest to us, Joe Tucker brings us into his uncle''s extraordinary and compelling world. Perhaps more importantly, he also brings Eric Tucker''s life''s work into ours.

When MichaelHeseltine wrote his acclaimed autobiography, Life in the Jungle, heassumed his political career was over.

Precarious Lease


In her extraordinary non-fiction debut, Jacqueline Feldman tells the story of Le Bloc, a legendary squat situated at the far edge of Paris, near where the banlieue begins. Opened in 2012, the squat took in artists and activists as well as immigrants from around the world. They lived and worked within its labyrinthine structure, continually threatened with eviction and existential as well as financial precarity. Over many years Feldman, a reporter from the US, follows a cast of itinerant, displaced characters, tracing the fate of a counterculture under austerity while investigating the trending use of a legal device by which squatters could receive a reprieve from eviction but were reduced in status to property guardians. In the tradition of Walter Benjamin and other chroniclers of Paris, she draws on its revolutionary and bohemian history while sounding issues of the most contemporary urgency about hospitality and refuge, creativity and precarity, ecology and utopia. With gripping candour and journalistic precision, Precarious Lease is a thrilling dramatization of late-stage possibilities for co-existence in the ruins of a capital city.

Accidental Tyrant


Kim Il-sung was the enigmatic architect of North Korea. His life is an extraordinary tale of improbable success: once a barely educated guerrilla fighter, he rose to lead the nation at the young age of 33. Against all odds, he established a horrifyingly stable dictatorial regime, one that still struggles to provide for its people, yet could obliterate Hollywood, Silicon Valley and much of East Asia in nuclear strikes. Based on extensive new sources in Korean, Russian, Chinese and Japanese, Fyodor Tertitskiy tells the unlikely story of one of the twentieth century''s most brutal but little-known dictators, from his early life in Japanese Korea to the lasting repercussions of his autocratic rule today. Tertitskiy showcases Kim''s political prowess in gaining autonomy from the USSR; explores how his inept economic policy led to catastrophic famine; and highlights how he implemented a system of hereditary rule, paving the way for today''s ''Supreme Leader'', Kim Jong-un, to assume power and continue his grandfather''s vision. Accidental Tyrant serves as a stark cautionary tale, underscoring that the triumph of liberty is never guaranteed. Met with insufficient resistance, even the most unlikely leader can build a regime of repression and privation that long outlives its founder.
