He's my shadow, my captor, and my addiction. Except it's not my fear he wants anymore. It's my total surrender.

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers


'A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told' Sunday TelegraphRoger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, 'sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore. PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS'It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it' Sunday Times'Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement' Literary Review

Introdukované dřeviny v českém lesním hospodářství


V souvislosti s klimatickou změnou a s nezbytným záměrem zajistit stabilní a funkční lesní porosty roste zájem odborné lesnické veřejnosti také o využití druhů, které u nás nejsou původní. Rovněž potřeba nahradit stávající monokulturní porosty stabilnějšími vede ke snahám o rozšíření sortimentu dřevin schopných odolat dnešnímu turbulentnímu prostředí. Proto je cílem publikace shrnout disponibilní poznatky o introdukovaných dřevinách využitelných lesnickou praxí. Kromě douglasky, grandisky a dubu červeného jsou analyzovány i dřeviny méně zastoupené. Snahou je poskytnout současný stav poznání ohledně jejich ekologických nároků, možnostech pěstování i vystihnout případná rizika, která jsou s rozšiřováním nových druhů v lesních porostech potenciálně spojena.

Maškaráda géniů


Maškarádu géniů, třetí díl Rakouské trilogie, považoval Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando za své vrcholné dílo, souhrn všech zásadních témat, která ho celý tvůrčí život provázela: Erós jako vítěz nad racionalitou a pořádky mužského světa, znejistění muži jako oběti a hračky v rukou neporazitelných ženských protihráček; zpřítomnění řecké a byzantské mytologie, její surrealistické propletení se současnou banalitou a komedií dell´arte, odbourání hranic mezi minulým a současným, mezi mýtem, iluzí a realitou; zobrazení světa jako nestabilního místa a neuspořádané sbírky kuriozit (jež je současně cenností i smetištěm) a člověka v něm jako oběti posedlostí, obsesí a metamorfóz všeho druhu. I tento román končí tragicky jako oba předchozí, a přesto je plný typického hýřivého, skurilního humoru, legračních figurek a nedostižně originálních nápadů.

Dávej na sebe pozor!


V poslední době vycházejí zejména knížky významných horolezeckých osobností, opatřené bohatými fotografiemi. O těch obyčejných "dělnících hor" a milovnících sportovního lezení se však píše jen velmi málo. Ve svých povídkách jsem se snažil přiblížit zážitky méně nápadných lidiček. Proto je věnuji všem posedlým romantikou a dobrodružstvím, kteří sice nedosáhli vrcholných výkonů, ale přesto byli šťastni.

Chase Me If You Can

Borison“Electric, tension-filled, and brimming with adventure." Chelsea CurtoWedding photographer Sloane Michaels spends most of her year running after brides, but she lives for the six weeks each spring she chases tornadoes instead. When a prestigious nature magazine announces a storm-cover contest, Sloane knows winning could be her chance to break into landscape photography. The last thing she needs is distraction in the form of reckless storm-chasing legend “Wild Wes” Talbot. Her close, personal frenemy for a decade, Wes is also the man to beat. Sloane isn’t surprised when Wes gets in an accident that jeopardizes his chances of winning.

Daggermouth - The Heart Duology 1


He Is Her Ruin. She Is His Rebellion. The first thing you'll learn in New Found Haven is mercy no longer exists. Showing mercy is a weakness, and weakness will get you killed. The second thing is this-the Veyra are always watching. From the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slum dens of the Boundary, no movement goes unseen. The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it. Love outside of your ring is a death sentence. The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed. Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he's the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he's entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he's forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the governments brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling. Shadera is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested. Their union is no love story-It's a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together. In a world where passion sparks rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both. DAGGERMOUTH is a dark dystopian romance perfect for readers who love true enemies to lovers, The Hunger Games, marriage of inconvenience, The Handmaid's Tale, rise of the oppressed, and political intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Invitation to Faith


In a world where life’s problems can feel overwhelming, how can we live with peace of min? o you ever wonder:• Why doesn’t life go the way I want?• What awaits us after death?• If God or Buddha exists, why do wars and disasters still occur?“Life is a workbook of problems to be solved,” teaches Ryuho Okawa—renowned spiritual leader and best-selling author. Just as the lotus blooms beautifully in muddy water, we too can allow our inner flower to blossom, no matter the hardships we face. God or Buddha never burdens us with a load heavier than we can bear. The path to enlightenment involves not only attaining wisdom by solving life’s problems but also cultivating a selfless, pure love for others—grounded in the knowledge that this world is not the only world, and that life continues beyond death. This transparent, unconditional love reflects the teachings of Hermes, the Greek god of prosperity and mysticism, who taught that true love should be as pure and transparent as the wind, asking nothing in return. Bridging the Eastern Buddhist path of enlightenment with the selfless love of Western Hermetic thought, Invitation to Faith presents a contemporary, universal faith—one that unites belief in a higher power with daily self-improvement. It encourages us to live in a world of Truth, goodness, and beauty.
