The Language of War


When everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice? 'We were so happy and didn't know it…' A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come. The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive. Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

Charlie Sheen: Vlastnými slovami


Hviezda filmov Čata, Wall Street alebo seriálu Dva a pol chlapa píše svoj príbeh bez servítky, sviežo, pútavo a najmä humorne. Charlie Sheen musel najprv zomrieť, aby si mohol vychutnať život naplno. Vo svojich memoároch spomína na vzostupy a pády, ktoré mu ponúkla kariéra filmového a televízneho herca v Hollywoode, a nekončí ani pri tabu témach dnešnej spoločnosti. Jeho jedinečný rozprávačský talent prefacká nefiltrovanou úprimnosťou, sarkazmom a iróniou, a množstvo neuveriteľných príhod vyvolá zásadnú otázku: Ako je možné, že toto všetko vôbec prežil?! Z anglického originálu Book of Sheen (Gallery Books Subsidiary Rights Department, An Imprint of Simon & Schuster, LLC, 2025) preložil Radoslav Kozák. Ukážka z textu 3. septembra 1965 o 22:58 som sa v meste New York narodil mŕtvy. Predstavte si štítok na palci a mäsiarsky vozík. Proste totálne mŕtvy. Službukonajúci pôrodník okamžite vyhlásil kód modré bábätko, škrtené pupočnou šnúrou a ako bolo v šesťdesiatych rokoch zvykom, nezdráhal sa naložiť mi na zadok. Moja úbohá mama Janet musela sledovať ten výprask, zatiaľ čo jej myseľ uviazla niekde medzi „Neprestávajte!“ a „Už mal dosť!“. Môj otec Martin Sheen, profesionálny katolík – alebo katoholik, ako zvyknem hovorievať –, žmolil ruženec, v mysli si pripravoval smútočnú reč (nepochybne krátku) a už žiadal, aby splašili najbližšieho kňaza, ktorý by dal bábätku posledné pomazanie. Pripravený na svoj prvý detailný záber, gynekológ a pôrodník Irwin Shaybone sa dramaticky otočil k otcovi. Jeho slová zaplavili miestnosť ako horiaci šíp z Hippokratovho luku, syčiaci cez závany kadidla a hrôzy: „Vy si robte svoju prácu a ja si urobím svoju!“ A veru si ju spravil. Ten chlap ma mlátil, akoby som mu dlžil peniaze. Moji rodičia sa ticho prizerali a čakali. Beznádejne dúfali, že konečne zaznamenajú prskanie, kašeľ a plač, ktoré od úsvitu vekov signalizujú nový život. A prskanie, kašeľ a plač sa dostavili (tak trochu).

Young Is Blessed


Star of VH1’s hit show Black Ink Crew: New York, Young Bae shares her gritty, candid, and inspirational coming-of-age immigration tale. If you’ve seen Parasite or Squid Game, you have some idea what it means to be poor in South Korea—struggling to survive in a world that thinks you’re worthless. Before Young Bae became a famous tattoo artist and star of American reality television, that nightmare was her life. With no stable place to call home, she spent nights in a community center, lived through the winter in a shipping container, and at times slept under a desk in her mother’s studio, hiding from her violent, unstable father. But even when her family moved into the worst possible place anyone can live in Seoul—a dank, flooding basement apartment—she held onto hope. She was an artist, and that meant she had been blessed. With strong determination and a belief that impossible dreams can come true, Young Bae knew she would become somebody.

Never Mind the Happy


The New York Times Bestseller From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir. In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the ’90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman’s story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.

Never Shaken, Never Stirred


‘Reindorp has done a stellar job of balancing their privilege and pathos.’ - The Lady‘Everyone in this book seems to be awash with booze.’ - The TelegraphGlamorous, fun and packed with scandalous anecdotes and exclusive interviews, Never Shaken, Never Stirred tells the story of two extraordinary sisters, Ann and Laura Charteris, who made marrying well an art form. While Laura eventually became the Duchess of Marlborough, Ann’s third and final husband was the journalist Ian Fleming, who she inspired to start writing the spy franchise he would become famous for. Along the way there were marriages, and affairs, with some of the biggest names of the twentieth century. The sisters’ collective husbands included a duke, four peers, Jacqueline Kennedy’s former brother-in-law and the alleged illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth’s uncle. There were also passionate flings with a Labour leader, a press baron and a cluster of film and literary stars. History would come to define Ann and Laura by the men they married, but their marriages are only part of the story. From royals to writers, film stars to politicians, aristocrats to academics, the Charteris sisters knew everybody that mattered, their countless friendships allowing them a privileged ringside seat during many momentous historical moments of the last century. Blazing a glamorous trail with their beauty, charm, riotous behaviour and energetic love affairs, the aristocratic Charteris sisters alternately delighted and scandalised British society, and their lives continue to do so to this day.

Climate change and biodiversity loss go hand in hand, but if we work together, it’s never too late to make a difference.

Hawke PM


The companion volume to YOUNG HAWKE: the making of a larrikin from the award-winning historian and author of CURTIN and CHIFLEY Bob Hawke was one of the most influential Australians of the twentieth century, firstly as Australia's most powerful trade union leader in the 1970s before becoming the longest serving Labor prime minister in the 1980s. The government of this formerly hard-drinking womaniser did much to transform the Australian economy, reorient Australian foreign policy towards Asia and introduce groundbreaking social welfare measures, including Medicare, and did much to promote the advancement of women. After the difficult years of the late 70s and early 80s, it was a time of renewed confidence that was exemplified by the winning of the America's Cup and the celebration of Australia's Bicentenary. It was also a time of national introspection, with the demand for a treaty with the Aborigines, the 75th anniversary of Gallipoli and the questioning of Australian identity. Bob Hawke was at the centre of it all, and for much of his time in office enjoyed an unprecedented level of popularity. But there was a prime minister-in-waiting who was intent on taking his position and a difficult family life that contrasted with the public image. This is the definitive biography of one of Australia's most important prime ministers.

On the Wings of Eagles


A soaring, heart-wrenching, and hopeful family memoir of a mostly-forgotten Middle Eastern Jewish community. After dwelling for centuries on the poverty-stricken fringes of Yemeni society, the desert nation’s proud Jewish community was forced to emigrate, en masse, to Israel soon after that nation’s founding. In this deeply personal and historically rich family memoir, Naomi Kehati Bronner opens a window into the unique world in which her parents grew up—a Yemini-Jewish world whose ways remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages. Suddenly finding themselves forcibly thrust into the modern world, Kehati Bronner’s parents and their immigrant community struggle to adjust and assimilate, while still raising their children to remember and honor their ancient traditions. Her own deeply personal story of assimilation, reinvention, and self-discovery not only sheds light on the complexity of modern Israel, but mirrors the immigrant journey of countless people around the world—and in the case of Jews, Israel’s powerful role in providing a new sense of peoplehood.

Stay Alive: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson


A TOP 5 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER“Perceptive analysis (and) also a fundamentally human story... this superb book rues Adamson's absence while celebrating his music’s still audibly beating heart.” 5/5 MOJOThe official biography of former Big Country frontman chronicling his career highs and tragic death.

Kutchinsky's Egg

Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he longed to create a jewelled egg more beautiful than any of Fabergé’s masterpieces. It would be the largest and most spectacular in the world. Standing two feet tall, made of solid gold, dripping with rare pink diamonds and housing a tiny enamelled library, the egg was astonishing. But when he failed to sell it, everything started to unravel. The House of Kutchinsky collapsed, Paul’s marriage fell apart, and within ten years he was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without trace. For thirty years its location remained a mystery, until it began to obsess Serena, too. Why did her father risk everything for this outlandish creation, and where in the world was it – valued by now at L30 million? Intent on finding answers, she traces a story that begins in London’s East End, with the arrival of her great-great grandparents as Polish-Jewish immigrants, and takes her to the other end of the world. It’s a journey that transforms her understanding of her father, her childhood and herself. ‘A brightly painted tale, with everything you could want from a book about a dynasty of jewellers’ SUNDAY TIMES

His father, once one of Britain’s most highly-regarded intelligence officers, was an absent and perplexing figure, the reasons for his sudden departure from the Service still classified to this day. But Wood’s search for the truth took him on a journey more remarkable than even he had imagined.My Family and Other Spies is a gripping exploration of an extraordinary, scarcely believable life, a globe-trotting spy story that spans a half century from the gathering storm before the Second World War to the fall of Communism, and a son’s reckoning with the secrets of the past.

The Warrior Walker


'An epic and inspirational journey that everyone should read' JASON FOX, SAS: WHO DARES WINS'Could not put this down, an absolute belter from start to finish' FARREN MORGAN, FORMER QUEEN'S GUARD AND AIRBORNE SOLDIERIn 2020, Paul Harris aka 'The Warrior Walker' set off on a pilgrimage around the UK that would rebuild his life from rock bottom and change the way he saw the world forever. Weighed down by a traumatic military past, Paul's life spiralled and he seriously contemplated taking his own life at the age of 36. Then a random text from a friend delivered a route map to emotional safety during what were possibly his final few hours. Paul, why don't you walk the British coast pat? ith only L300 in his pocket and a 30-kilo rucksack on his back, Paul decided to leave his life as he knew it and took up wild camping, slept rough, struggled along the coast paths of Devon, Cornwall and Wales in the sideways rain, and wading through knee-high snowdrifts around the Scottish islands and the burning summer sun on England's east coast. Walking was therapy. Nature was restorative. The path was his friend. The Warrior Walker is more than just one man's journey of self-discovery. Paul's story shines a light on the kindness of strangers, of the coast path that gave him purpose, about discovering family and true love, and how even wrong turns can lead you to exactly where you need to be. In a world where so much human interaction is cruel, divisive and distant, this is an important reminder that there is light even in the darkest of moments.

Námořník z domu s cimbuřím


Paměti spisovatele, publicisty, námořního jachtaře, plastikového modeláře, překladatele militárií a znalce námořní historie Františka Novotného je možno zařadit mezi díla tzv. „malé historie“, která se na rozdíl od té „velké“ nevěnuje válkám a revolucím, osudům vladařů a vojevůdců a vzniku a pádu impérií, ale životům běžných lidí s jejich drobnými starostmi, ale i radostmi, do nichž ta velká historie proniká jen okrajově, ale v případě totalitního režimu, v němž autor skoro půl století žil, neúprosně. Autor líčí, jak se tehdy lidé tomuto pronikání bránili, čemuž je uzpůsobeno uspořádání pamětí, které jsou periodizovány podle prezidentů, a František Novotný na tehdejší události ještě reaguje v některých případech dnešními komentáři, neboť mnohé ze současné politiky mu připomíná minulé doby. Vzhledem k tomu, že autor vyrůstal na brněnském jachtklubu, jsou jeho paměti též kronikou jachtingu v moravské metropoli a svědectvím o vzniku novodobého námořního jachtingu, jenž pak Františku Novotnému uhranul a umožnil mu splnit si mladický sen – stát se námořníkem. Nedosti na tom, jeho paměti jsou též kronikou plastikového modelářství v Československu, když patřil mezi jeho organizátory, a totéž platí i pro hnutí milovníků sci-fi, do něhož se v Brně zapojil mezi prvními, spoluzakládal zde sci-fi klub Nyx a podílel se na organizování Draconů, celorepublikových sjezdů milovníků sci-fi v Brně. Paměti Františka Novotného nejsou jen vzpomínkami na vlastní život a na životy rodičů a přátel z různých komunit, na jejichž činnosti se podílel, ale také historií jednoho brněnského domu, onoho „domu s cimbuřím“ – a vlastně historií celého města Brna, jehož ulicemi autor čtenáře provází. Původně měly paměti končit přestěhováním z „domu s cimbuřím“ do kohoutovického sídliště v roce 1981, ale autor připsal dodatek Námořník abonentem na lince č. 137. Když se svět po roce 1990 otevřel, mohl se věnovat práci profesionálního jachetního kapitána, takže své vzpomínky na dvacáté století uzavírá jako jachtařský cestopis, aby doložil, že si svůj sen splnil a opravdu se stal „námořníkem z domu s cimbuřím“.

The Art of the Matter


The Art of the Matter - beautifully illustrated, and almost tactile in its language - is centred around the idea that art is where we go to discover the things we don't yet know. As well as its attention to painting, it also engages with the art of managing grief. It offers the reader a way of looking at endurance, both in terms of resilience and everlastingness. Art prompts a kind of expansion in the chest: we become more human, more curious, more alive when we are in the presence of a really great painting. Focusing on the relationship with her painter father, Claire Steele considers his works as posthumous conversations - dynamic, ongoing and full of mysterious surprises. Via a collection of meditative reflections on art, loss, landscape, home and belonging, she explores what it was like to be the child of an artist, and how to retrieve a sense of him from attention to his paintings.

A Vast Horizon


A glorious fusion of history and art, A Vast Horizon tells the story of Pablo Picasso and his free-spirited friends, including Lee Miller and Man Ray, in the tumultuous years around the Second World War. ‘Excellent and revealing . . . at the end we feel their loss as if they had been our friends’ - Antony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives'At once intimate and expansive . . . a fascinating portrait' - Clare Mulley, author of Agent ZoLate summer 1937. Europe is inching towards war. In the South of France a group of friends picnic in a secluded clearing. The women have peeled down their dresses to their waists. A couple kiss playfully while the others look on, laughing. The moment is captured in Lee Miller's now-iconic image. Some of the friends are well known, others less so: the dancer Ady Fidelin, the poet Paul Éluard and his wife Nusch, the Surrealists Man Ray and Roland Penrose. They are spending the summer with fellow artists Dora Maar, Eileen Agar and Pablo Picasso. In A Vast Horizon biographer Anna Thomasson tells the story of their creativity, friendships and pursuit of freedom set against the tense political backdrop of the 1930s, the Second World War and its aftermath. Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.

When the Going Was Good


A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 IN THE INDEPENDENT, GQ, NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES AND BBC CULTURE'Graydon Carter is a brilliant raconteur of his own life...it's a real yarn of a lost world' Marina Hyde, The Rest is EntertainmentWhen the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter's lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of society's most talented editors and shapers of culture. Carter arrived in New York from Canada with little more than a suitcase, a failed literary magazine in his past and a keen sense of ambition. He landed a job at Time, went on to work at Life, co-founded Spy magazine and edited The New York Observer before catching the eye of Condé Nast chairman Si Newhouse, who tapped him to run Vanity Fair. With his inimitable voice and raconteur's quip, Carter brings readers inside the drawing rooms of the great and not-always-good of America, Britain and Europe. He assembled one of the best-ever stables of writers and photographers under one roof, and here he re-creates in real time the steps he took to ensure that Vanity Fair during his 25-year run cemented its place as the epicentre of art, culture, business and politics. Charming, candid and brimming with humour, When the Going Was Good perfectly captures the last golden age of print magazines from the inside out.

Casement


Fully Revised and Enlarged Edition with a new ForewordSince his execution for high treason in 1916, Roger Casement has been lauded for his humanitarian activism in Africa and the Amazon. His life, however, has remained obscured behind speculation about his sexuality and his complicated contribution to Ireland’s revolutionary generation that took up arms against the British Empire. He lives on as an enduring enigma in the history of British-Irish relations—a figure who refuses easy categorisation, and whose legacy demands radical reconsideration. Angus Mitchell traces the life of a man fatally divided between serving the empire and advancing demands for an independent Irish nation. Understanding his logical evolution from imperialist to revolutionary unmasks a coherent global dimension to the Irish struggle. The apparent contradictions of his life resolve into a singular commitment to humanity, justice, and universal principles of love and tolerance. Beyond what it tells us about Casement’s fated path to the scaffold in Pentonville Prison, this biography invites readers to question the curation of national history,  the hidden power of archives, and the lasting impact of state secrecy.

Čítanie o slávnych osobnostiach je mnohokrát inšpirujúce. Motivujú nás biografie slávnych umelcov, známych hercov alebo významných politikov.

Absolútne prvou biografiou všetkých čias je zrejme Excellentium Imperatorum Vitae, ktorú napísal grék Cornelius Nepos a opisoval v nej životy viacerých gréckych vojenských generálov. Neskôr mal už skoro každý významný vodca svoju biografiu, vrátane Cicera, Júliusa Cézara alebo Alexandra veľkého.

Môžete si vybrať, či budete čítať o danej osobe z pohľadu iného človeka, alebo či siahnete po autobiografii. Obidve možnosti majú svoje čaro.

Je všeobecnou pravdou, že dobrá kniha môže ovplyvniť smerovanie nášho života. Pri biografickej literatúre to platí stonásobne, pretože v ruke držíme príbeh reálneho človeka, z ktorého môžeme čerpať mnoho inšpirácie a tipov.
