Bálint gazda, a százéves kertész
Vajon mi a hosszú élet titka? Ha a 100. születésnapját ünneplő Bálint Györgytől, az ország "Bálint gazdá"-jától kérdezzük, nem számíthatunk az ilyenkor szokásos válaszokra. A hivatásos és az amatőr kertészek százezreinek mentora ebben a különleges önéletírásban arról mesél, hogyanélte túl a munkaszolgálatot és a mauthauseni haláltábor borzalmait; milyen következményei voltak annak, hogy kuláknak nyilvánították; mit érzett, mikor közölték vele, nincs szükség a tízezrek kedvencévé vált Kedves Húgom! címet viselő kertészeti tanácsadó rovatára; miként tette túl magát azon, hogy megszűnt a számára országos ismertséget hozó tévéműsor, az Ablak. Bálint gazda aprólékos részletességgel veszi sorra élete fontos eseményeit, miközben az átélt szenvedések és megpróbáltatások miatt soha senkit sem hibáztat. Egy százéves ember szavára mindig érdemes odafigyelni, Bálint György esetében ez különösen igaz, hiszen hosszú élete során emberpróbáló időket, sorsfordító éveket is megélt.

`It's been a long time coming, I swear...'
In four years Stormzy has risen from one of the most promising musicians of his generation to a spokesperson for a generation. Rise Up is the story of how he got there. It's a story about faith and the ideas worth fighting for. It's about knowing where you're from, and where you're going. It's about following your dreams without compromising who you are.

A is for Archive - Warhol's World from A to Z
A riveting excursion through Warhol's incomparable personal collections, from the bizarre to the illuminating
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) remains an icon of the 20th century and a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. He also was an obsessive collector of things large and small, ordinary and quirky. Since 1994, The Andy Warhol Museum has studied and safeguarded the artist's archive encompassing hundreds of thousands of these objects, at turns strange, amusing, and poignant. From this array, many of these items have been researched and described in this book for the first time.
Written by Matt Wrbican, the foremost authority on Warhol's personal collection, A is for Archive features curated selections from this collection, shedding light on the artist's work and motivations, as well as on his personality and private life. The volume is organized alphabetically, honoring Warhol's own use of a whimsical alphabetical structure: "A is for Autograph" (a selection of signed objects, many of which influenced his most popular works), "F is for Fashion" (featuring his collections of cowboy boots, neckties, and jackets), "S is for Stamp" (works of art by Warhol and others relating to stamps and mailed items), and "Z is for Zombie" (a grouping of photographs and ephemera of Warhol in various disguises: drag, robot, zombie, clown). The book also features an insightful essay by renowned art critic and Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik.
For the myriad fans of Warhol and his quixotic world, this volume is essential and unforgettable.

Amikor Nietzsche sírt – A szenvedély regénye
Biztonságosan élni veszélyes. Bécsben, a 19. század végi szellemi erjedés közegében nagy drámája dúl szerelemnek, sorsnak és akaratnak. Josef Breuer, a pszichoanalízis alapító atyáinak egyike pályája csúcsán. Friedrich Nietzsche, az európai filozófia meghatározó szellemeinek egyike az öngyilkosság szélén. Amikor az igen tehetséges Breuer doktor elvállalja Nietzsche gyötrő fejfájásainak és egyéb testi kínjainak gyógyítását kísérleti stádiumban lévő módszerével, a beszélgetős terápiával, még csak nem is sejti, hogy a különös kúra neki is enyhülést fog hozni, hiszen ahhoz, hogy segítsen páciensén, előbb neki kell megküzdenie a maga démonaival. Az Amikor Nietzsche sírt tényt kever írói fantáziával, kedélyes hangulatot feszültséggel. Irvin D. Yalom felejthetetlen történetet mesél olvasóinak a szenvedély természetéről és a barátság megváltó erejéről

Focihősök 7: Modric
Luka Modria kiskorában egy hegyi falucskában kecskéket őrzött, ám később, a szerb-horvát háború miatt családjával a városba menekült. Gyenge testalkata miatt ugyan nem fogadták a Hajduk Splitnél, de a rivális Dinamo Zagreb egyből meglátta benne a klasszist. Kreatív középpályásként a karrierje egyre feljebb ívelt: a Tottenhamben töltött négy év után a galaktikusok közé, a Real Madriba igazolt, mellyel négyszer is elhódította a Bajnokok Ligája trófeát. A horvát válogatott csapatkapitányaként a 2018-as vébén az ezüstéremig vezette csapatát - ebben az évben elnyerte a labdarúgóknak járó legrangosabb díjat, az Aranylabdát is.

Žila som s Picassom
„S Pablom Picassom som sa zoznámila v máji 1943 počas nemeckej okupácie Francúzska. Mala som vtedy dvadsaťjeden rokov a cítila som už, že maľovanie je celým mojím životom.“ Takto sa začína rozprávanie Francoise Gilotovej o jednom desaťročí jej života, v ktorom sa všetko krútilo okolo Picassa – azda najslávnejšieho maliara modernej doby.
Kniha Žila som s Picassom vznikla na základe rozprávania, korešpondencie a záznamov Francoise Gilotovej, literárnu podobu jej dal americký novinár Carlton Lake. Prvý raz vyšla v USA v r. 1964 a vyvolala obrovský škandál. Autor slávneho obrazu Guernica totiž vystupuje na jeho stránkach ako mimoriadne svojrázny človek, často tvrdý a egoistický, muž s večným háremom bývalých i prítomných lások, obklopený priateľmi, obdivovateľmi i pochlebovačmi, a predsa vždy tragicky sám. Celých desať rokov sa Francoise usilovala uľahčiť bremeno jeho osamelosti, bola mu priateľkou, milenkou, ženou, modelkou i spolupracovníčkou. Z jej rozprávania sa dozvedáme o Picassových politických i filozofických názoroch, stávame sa svedkami zrodu známych obrazov, spoznávame Picassa ako priateľa Matissa, Braqua, Bretona, Éluarda, Sartra a iných vynikajúcich osobností tých čias. V knihe nájde čitateľ zaujímavú genézu a filozofiu všetkých význačných Picassových diel, ktoré vznikli v rokoch 1943 – 1953, i množstvo zasvätených úvah a postrehov, ktoré mu pomôžu pochopiť Pabla Picassa ako maliara aj ako človeka.

Meda Mládková - Můj úžasný život 2. vydání
Životní osud Medy Mládkové se naprosto vymyká malým českým dějinám. Odehrává se v pěti zemích a na dvou kontinentech, na geografické ose Zákupy–Ženeva–Paříž–Washington–Praha. Začíná v rodině despotického otce, pivovarského sládka, a vrcholí v pozici uznávané sběratelky a mecenášky umění, která pomohla světu objevit jednoho z prvních abstraktních malířů, Františka Kupku. Celý život si šla umanutě a odvážně za svým. Když utíkala před Hitlerem a později před komunisty, když dobývala srdce svého budoucího muže, spoluzakladatele Mezinárodního měnového fondu Jana Mládka, nebo když svými aktivitami v exilu podporovala utlačované české umělce a prosazovala jejich díla do amerických a evropských galerií. Po Listopadu se pak vrátila do vlasti a věnovala svou sbírku české společnosti. Získala a zrekonstruovala pro ni i výstavní prostor – pražské Sovovy mlýny, které se tak proměnily v Museum Kampa. Symbol jejího celoživotního díla. Ondřej Kundra vede domací rubriku týdeníku Respekt. Jako novinář se dlouhodobě specializuje na českou politiku a justici. Za své investigativní texty byl oceněn novinářskou Křepelkou a následně i Novinářskou cenou.

A mennyeknél súlyosabb - Kurt Cobain életrajza
Kurt Cobain 1994. április 5-én lett öngyilkos. Akarata szerint zárta le rövid, dühödt, fájdalmakkal teli, ám termékeny életét. A mennyeknél súlyosabb ezt az életet kíséri végig a szem- és fültanú hitelességével. Szerzője, Charles R. Cross az egykori Rocket zenei magazin szerkesztője belülről ismeri a seattle-i zenei életet, és a kezdetektől közvetlen közelről követhette Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana pályafutását is.
A könyv megírását 4 év kutatómunka és több mint 400 interjú előzte meg. A szerző kivételes hozzáférést kapott Cobain publikálatlan naplóihoz, dalszövegeihez, családi fotóihoz és rengeteg dokumentumhoz, amelyek alapján páratlan részletességgel rekonstruálta az elmúlt évtizedek egyik legnagyobb zenei ikonjának életét az aberdeeni gyerekkortól a híressé váláson át egészen az öngyilkosságig.
Cross az új kiadáshoz írt elő- és utószavában képet ad az első kiadás (6 évvel Kurt Cobain halála után) óta eltelt időszakról is. Megosztja az öngyilkosságot követő vizsgálatok eredményeit, és a zenekarral kapcsolatos olyan történéseket, amelyek mind azt bizonyítják: Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana mind a mai napig komoly hatást gyakorol a közönségre és a zenészekre.

The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen
'I loved it. I thought it was fascinating - really, really interesting story that he's got to tell... I've known him for years and I learned an awful lot.' Marc Priestley
Kimi Raikkoenen is the Finnish superstar Formula One driver with a reputation for being fast on the track and silent off it - until now!
In this superb and authorised portrait of Raikkoenen, Kari Hotakainen gets to reveal the side of the man that few beyond his close family and friends have ever seen. Enigmatic and private, Ferrari's former world champion driver rarely opens up to outsiders, but he granted Hotakainen exclusive access to his world and to his way of thinking. It ensures that this will be a book that will delight all fans of motorsport, who have long revered the Finn.
Including never-previously-seen photographs from his own collection, The Unknown Kimi Raikkoenen takes the reader into the heart of the action at grands prix around the world, behind the scenes as race strategies are planned, and opens up the private side of his life that he normally guards so carefully.
With all the cult appeal of I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the raw excitement of Formula One and the insight of the best biographies, this is a book every sports fan will want to treasure.
Unbeaten
'Unbeaten is one of the best sports books I've read in years.' - Jonathan Eig, author of Ali: A Life.
Rocky Marciano accomplished a feat that eluded legendary champions like Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson: he never lost a professional fight. When he retired in 1956, his record was a perfect 49-0.
Unbeaten is the revelatory biography of one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Marciano rose from abject poverty and a life of petty crime to become heavyweight champion and one of the most famous faces of his era. He dominated boxing in the decade following the Second World War with a devastating punch, which he nicknamed the `Suzie Q'.
But perfection came at a price.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Mike Stanton tells the story of Marciano's pursuit of greatness through the era of guys and dolls, hustlers and gamblers, glamorous celebrities and notorious mobsters. But boxing had its dark side, particularly at a time when Mafia mob bosses like Blinky Palermo and Frankie Carbo wielded immense power behind the scenes.
Marciano retired while still in his prime, weighed down by the mob's influence in the sport he loved. For the last decade of his life, he wandered America, disillusioned, untrusting, hiding his money, cheating on his wife, consorting with the mobsters he had loathed for corrupting his sport, until his death in a plane crash in 1969, the night before his 46th birthday.
Unbeaten by Mike Stanton is the story of a remarkable champion, a sport that was rotten to its core, and a country that may have expected too much from its heroes.

Nadia Comaneciová
Kniha se věnuje životu slavné rumunské gymnastky Nadii Comaneciové, která ve svých čtrnácti letech vyhrála na OH v Montrealu. Autorka popisuje nesvobodnou cestu slavné sportovkyně: jen se zbavila dohledu komunistické státní bezpečnosti, stala se objektem pozornosti západních médií. I ta ji však okázale manipulovala do role cvičené opičky. Zamýšlí se nad tím, jak zázračnou dívku vnímal okolní svět, když kolem ní stvořil legendu, jakýsi mýtus Nadia, a během několika let totéž děvče zase demytizoval. A také načrtává zajímavé srovnání rolí, jež za studené války na obou stranách železné opony zaujímaly slavné osobnosti, zejména sportovci.
Autorka vychází ze skutečných faktů, týkajících se života slavné rumunské sportovní gymnastky, není však biografií, jak by se na první pohled mohlo zdát.
Přinesla autorce více než desítku cen včetně prestižních Grand prix de l`héroine Madame Figaro, Prix Ouest-Francie Etonnants Voyageurs, Prix Jules Rimet a Prix verze Femina

The Stranger on the Bridge
'In my world, the word inspirational gets bandied around a lot, but Jonny Benjamin is truly deserving of that adjective.' - HRH The Duke of Cambridge
'Jonny Benjamin is the most inspirational man I know. His book shows us how remarkable the human spirit is.' Bryony Gordon, bestselling author of Mad Girl
In 2008, twenty-year-old Jonny Benjamin stood on Waterloo Bridge, about to jump. A stranger saw his distress and stopped to talk with him - a decision that saved Jonny's life.
Fast forward to 2014 and Jonny, together with Rethink Mental Illness launch a campaign with a short video clip so that Jonny could finally thank that stranger who put him on the path to recovery. More than 319 million people around the world followed the search. ITV's breakfast shows picked up the story until the stranger, whose name is Neil Laybourn, was found and - in an emotional and touching moment - the pair re-united and have remained firm friends ever since.
The Stranger on the Bridge is a memoir of the journey Jonny made both personally, and publicly to not only find the person who saved his life, but also to explore how he got to the bridge in the first place and how he continues to manage his diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Using extracts from diaries Jonny has been writing from the age of thirteen, this book is a deeply personal memoir with a unique insight on mental health.
Jonny was recognized for his work as an influential activist changing the culture around mental health awareness, when he was awarded an MBE in 2017. He and Neil now work full-time together visiting schools, hospitals, prisons and workplaces to help end the stigma by talking about mental health and suicide prevention. The pair ran the London Marathon together in 2017 in aid of HeadsTogether. Following the global campaign to find the stranger, in 2015 Channel 4 made a documentary of Jonny's search which has now been shown around the world.

Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat
Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat's complex relationship captivated the art world then and now. At a time when Warhol was already world famous and the elder statesman of New York cool, Basquiat was a downtown talent rising rapidly from the graffiti scene. Together, they forged an electrifying personal and professional partnership.
As a prolific documentarian of his own world, Warhol extensively photographed and wrote of his friendship with Basquiat, all played against the backdrop of 1980s downtown New York City. It reveals not only the emotional depth of their relationship but also its ambiguities, extremities, and complexities.
Produced in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation and Jean-Michel Basquiat's estate, this book chronicles the duo's relationship in hundreds of previously unpublished photographs of Basquiat along with a dynamic cast of characters from Madonna to Grace Jones, Keith Haring to Fela Kuti. The shots are accompanied by entries from the legendary Andy Warhol Diaries, selected collaborative artworks, and extensive ephemera. Touching, intimate, and occasionally sardonic, Warhol on Basquiat is a voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of two of modern art's brightest stars.

King and Emperor - A New Life of Charlemagne
'A remarkable book: the dramatic story of a truly extraordinary man ... brilliant' Helen Castor, author of She-Wolves
A major new biography of one of the most extraordinary of all rulers, and the father of present-day Europe
Charles, king of the Franks, is one of the most remarkable figures ever to rule a European super-state. That is why he is so often called by the French 'Charlemagne', and by the Germans 'Karl der Grosse'. His strength of character was felt to be remarkable from early in his long reign. Warfare and accident, vermin and weather have destroyed much of the evidence for his rule in the twelve centuries since his death, but a remarkable amount still survives.
Janet L. Nelson's wonderful new book brings together everything we know about Charlemagne and sifts through the evidence to come as close as we can to understanding the man and his motives. Nelson has an extraordinary knowledge of the sources and much of the book is a sort of detective story, prying into and interpreting fascinating material and often obdurate scraps, from prayerbooks to skeletons, gossip to artwork.
Above all, Charles's legacy lies in his deeds and their continuing resonance, as he shaped duchies and counties, rebuilt and founded towns and monasteries, and consciously set himself up not just as King of the Franks, but as the new 'Emperor governing the Roman Empire'. His successors - in some ways to the present day - have struggled to interpret, misinterpret, copy or subvert Charlemagne's legacy. Nelson gets us as close as we can ever hope to come to the real figure, as understood in his own time.

Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know
An intimate study of three of Ireland's greatest writers from one of its best-loved contemporary voices
__________________
'A father...is a necessary evil.' Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses
In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Toibin takes three of Ireland's greatest writers - Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce - and examines their earliest influences: their fathers. With his inimitable wit and sensitivity, Toibin introduces us to Wilde Senior, the philandering doctor whose libel case prefigured that of his son; the elder Yeats, an impoverished artist who never finished a painting; and to John Stanislaus Joyce, the hard-drinking, storytelling father of James, who couldn't feed his own family. This is an illuminating study of how each of these men cast a long shadow not only over the lives of their famous sons, but over the works for which they are celebrated and cherished.

Broken Places and Outer Spaces
Nnedi Okorafor was never supposed to be paralyzed. A college track star and budding entomologist, Nnedi's lifelong battle with scoliosis was just a bump in her plan - something a simple surgery would easily correct.
But when Nnedi wakes from the surgery to find she can't move her legs, her entire sense of who she is begins to waver. Confined to a hospital bed for months, unusual things begin to happen. Psychedelic bugs crawl her hospital walls; strange dreams visit her nightly. She begins to feel as if she's turning into a cyborg. Unsure if she'll ever walk again, Nnedi begins to put these experiences into writing, conjuring up strange, fantastical stories.
What Nnedi discovers during her confinement would prove to be the key to her life as a successful science fiction writer: In science fiction, when something breaks, something greater often emerges from the cracks. While she may be bedridden, instead of stopping her journey Nnedi's paralysis opens up new windows in her mind, kindles her creativity and ultimately leads her to become more alive than she ever could have imagined.
Nnedi takes the reader on a journey from her hospital bed deep into her memories, from her painful first experiences with racism as a child in Chicago to her powerful visits to her parents' hometown in Nigeria, where she got her first inkling that science fiction has roots beyond the West. This was not the Africa that Nnedi knew from Western literature - an Africa that she always read was a place left behind. The role of technology in Nigeria opened her eyes to future-looking Africa: cable TV and cell phones in the village, 419 scammers occupying the cybercafes, the small generator connected to her cousin's desktop computer, everyone quickly adapting to portable tech devices due to unreliable power sources. Nnedi could see that Africa was far from broken, as she'd been taught, and her experience there planted the early seeds of sci-fi - a genre that speculates about technologies, societies, and social issues - from an entirely new lens.
In Broken Places & Outer Spaces, Nnedi uses her own experience as a jumping off point to follow the phenomenon of creativity born from hardship. From Frida Kahlo to Mary Shelly, she examines great artists and writers who have pushed through their limitations, using hardship to fuel their work. Through these compelling stories and her own, Nnedi reveals a universal truth: What we perceive as limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths - far greater than when we were unbroken.

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.
