Indian Miniatures
A German artist’s journey to 18th-century India unravels love, betrayal, and identity as he loses his wife to colonial exploitation and is haunted by family ties across continents. In 1769, Carl von Imhoff, a Württemberg veteran of the Seven Year War and an accomplished miniature painter, embarks on a transformative journey from Plymouth to Kolkata in the service of the East India Company. This voyage quickly takes a tragic turn when Carl loses his wife to the looming shadow of exploitation in India. Branded as sold, his wife’s fate shatters Carl’s world, leading him into a life of fatalism as he finds refuge among the Muses of the Weimar court. Yet, Carl’s ties to India run deep; he cannot escape the memories of his ex-wife, son, and grandson, haunting him across continents. Interwoven with themes of betrayal and the legacies of colonialism, the story explores the complexities of relationships and identity against the backdrop of historical upheaval. This gripping tale is not just a window into the past but a profound exploration of human emotions that resonate today. Thomas Poeschel’s Indian Miniatures is essential reading for history lovers, fans of literary fiction, and those interested in the intersections of art and colonialism. With its rich character development and evocative setting, this book promises to engage readers who seek deeper understanding of personal and historical narratives. Discover a challenge for readers, to reflect on the enduring impact of love, loss, and identity, in a rapidly changing world.
Song for a Hard-Hit People
A story of struggle and perseverance from an Eastern Kentucky woman who answered Florence Reese''s timeless question, "Which side are you on?" by organizing her people with love and class solidarity.Activist and organizer Beth Howard invites readers to trace her transformational story of growing up in rural Appalachia facing economic hardship, patriarchal violence, and the impact of extractive industries to become a leading organizer of working-class antiracism, engaging in the street protests of the Black Lives Matter movement and the larger resistance to Donald Trump and MAGA racists.In this deeply personal story Howard tells us about how her place and people, especially her dad, shaped her. She also details a political and systems analysis that shows how billionaires hold power by using racism to convince working-class white people to side with whiteness instead of their class. Howard makes the case that white Appalachians and rural white working-class people have a shared interest in, and a powerful history of, being in class solidarity with Black and Brown people. Howard delves into the rich traditions of organization and resistance in Appalachia, like the ten thousand interracial miners of the so-called Red Neck Army (known by the red bandanas worn around their necks), who in 1921 refused to be segregated and waged the largest working-class insurrection since the Civil War.Howard''s story is particular but not uncommon. Too many of us face the same struggle for the basic necessities of life: somewhere decent to live, good food to eat, health care that doesn''t break the bank, jobs that don''t kill us. As she reminds us, we haven’t got a chance—unless we organize. In the best of storytelling traditions, her prose is at once heart-breaking and inspiring, insightful and provocative, and filled to the brim with courageous humanity.

Obloha ji zavolala domů
ONA MUSÍ NAPLNIT PROROCTVÍ. ON JI MUSÍ ZNIČIT A ZACHRÁNIT TAK SVOU ŘÍŠI...
Elyssara vyrůstala v temných uličkách Virellinu, kde se naučila spoléhat jen na své dýky a schopnost mizet ve stínech. Když je její přítel Ronyn uvězněn, rozhodne se porušit všechna pravidla a vkrade se do přísně střeženého žaláře. Tam narazí na tajemného válečníka Kaela… a jediné setkání spustí řetězec událostí, které otřesou vším, čemu dosud věřila. Zrozená pod vzácným souhvězdím Elyssara v sobě nese dar silné magie i břímě proroctví, které jí zanechala její matka. Podle něj má nalézt pět ztracených relikvií, s jejichž pomocí může zachránit zakletou říši Dravaru a probudit spící draky. Elyssara se vydává na strastiplnou cestu plnou temných hvozdů, mytických tvorů a dávno zapomenutých tajemství. Po jejím boku stojí věrní přátelé i mlčenlivý Kael, následník trůnu sousední říše. Ačkoli po sobě s Elyssarou od počátku touží, brzy zjišťují, že stojí před neřešitelnou volbou: aby mohly jejich říše přežít, jeden z nich bude muset toho druhého zničit. Žár, který je k sobě táhne, je však silnější než dávná proroctví. A jejich láska se tak může stát jejich zkázou...
Strhující romantasy, kterou nesmí minout žádný fanoušek Živého stříbra, Dvora trnů a růží, nebo Skleněného trůnu.

The Island
A masterclass in atmospheric suspense and domestic uneaseIt begins as an ordinary day of frayed nerves and suburban fractiousness. Following a sharp argument with his wife, Graham sets out across London with his young daughter, Jasmine. It is a journey born of a need for space – on the surface, a simple drive to clear the air. But as they move through the city, the familiar begins to feel inexplicably foreign. The motorways are tightening. The air is changing. On every screen, in every shop window, a recurring image of a remote island haunts the broadcast – an image that pulls Graham back toward a childhood he has tried to outrun. As the horizon darkens and the path home becomes increasingly uncertain, Graham is forced to navigate the shifting boundary between a father’s protective instinct and a world that is rapidly losing its grip on the known. The Island is a devastatingly controlled novella from one of the UK’s finest poets. It is a story of what remains when the structures of the everyday fall away: the memories we cannot escape, and the desperate, quiet love between a father and his child.
Wildly different
The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the ‘wild’ was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth’s wild places. We’ll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men’s climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain’s first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai’s daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women’s adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ‘wildly different’. -- .
How to Save Your Own Life
There are a thousand books about eating disorders, taking everything from gender to age into account. But they have a habit of assuming that you''re neurotypical, and that your brain works in a very specific way. Not exactly helpful if yours doesn''t!In this essential self-help guide, Rachel Clark shares what she''s learned from her own experiences as an autistic and ADHD young person with anorexia, and how you can use it for your own recovery. She explores how eating disorders can be a coping mechanism for the stress of a neurotypical world, and how autism can both create the ideal environment for an eating disorder to develop, but also provide key tools to overcome it. Practical exercises help you get to grips with your ED in a way that suits your brain, and advice from direct experience supports you in advocating for yourself and creating an environment where you can save your own life on your own terms.
Pomona's Orchard
Pomona’s Orchard, Adrian Blamires’ third collection, is dedicated to the arts of peace. Its tutelary spirits include Caliban tending to the dying Prospero, a great-aunt rescuing cats and dogs in the Blitz, the enlightened schoolmaster to an orphaned John Keats, and Pomona, Roman goddess of fruitful propagation, as the genius loci of a Herefordshire orchard. Miracles of love and healing are conjured in the face of violence and rapacity. Lament and dissent are sounded, alongside poems of witty, sensual profusion. The collection closes with a Tudor-themed sequence which presents pressing encounters – highly politicized, highly eroticized – between the Virgin Queen and her subjects. Drawing on Elizabethan lyric, symbolism, realia and innuendo, the poet offers a tragicomic vision of queen and country, a resonant blend of history and myth.

Advokáti mrtvých
Mrtví nemluví. Ale někdo za ně mluvit musí.
Jednadvacet rozhovorů s českými, moravskými a slovenskými soudními lékaři a lékařkami otevírá dveře do světa, který většina z nás zná jen z televizních seriálů – a přesto si o něm uchovává překvapivě zkreslené představy. Soudní lékařství totiž není totéž co patologie, ačkoli je s ní dodnes mylně zaměňováno či směšováno.
Kniha Advokáti mrtvých zachycuje myšlenky, vzpomínky, zkušenosti a názory generace odborníků, kteří svůj profesní život zasvětili hledání pravdy tam, kde už oběť nemůže promluvit sama. Jejich osobní svědectví – pořízená metodou orální historie, moderním směrem v současné historiografii – nejsou jen fascinujícím čtením, ale i cenným pramenem poznání nedávné minulosti oboru i celé společnosti. Právě tento přístup podtrhuje význam osobního sdělení a rehabilituje roli subjektivního svědectví jako plnoprávného zdroje historického poznání.
Druhé vydání se vrací ke čtenářům s vědomím, že příběhy zaznamenané v této knize jsou o to naléhavější, čím více času od nich uplynulo. Některé z hlasů, které zde zaznívají, už dnes nelze slyšet nikde jinde.
Rozhovorům předcházejí odborné studie představující soudní lékařství i metodu orální historie a shrnující postup pořizování a úpravy rozhovorů. Knihu doplňuje biografický slovník, jmenný rejstřík, obrazová příloha a poznámkový aparát.
Soudní lékařství je dnes lékařsko-právní obor se širokým dopadem nejen zdravotnickým, ale i společenským. Tato kniha proto není čtením jen pro odborníky – ale pro každého, koho zajímá, jak se z mlčení mrtvých rodí spravedlnost.
Of Love & Dragons
Dragons may be fierce but they are symbols of great power, and the bond between human and dragon, once forged, can never be broken. Or can it? Can romance deal a deathly trail of vows abandoned, or forgotten, and can realms beyond our time conjure tales of Dragon Lords, warrior princesses and great rivalries?
Modern writers have sought to explore these questions and more, in a new anthology of enchanting romantic fantasy fiction. Strong-willed, independent leads navigate epic fantasy worlds and emotionally charged quests, featuring lyrical romance, and of course, majestic dragons.
A Breath of Time
Time – at once fleeting and eternal – is a tricksy, intangible dimension. A Breath of Time, part of Flame Tree's exciting new series of Romantic Fantasy titles, is a collection filled with stories of lost loves, love discovered, love unreachable unless Time itself is conquered; stories of time-bending, time traveling, time distorting; of alternate history and parallel timelines, of ancient forests returning to haunt the present and great adventures through dreams and timeless mountain tops, all with hearts beating to the rhythm of romance.
