Wifehouse


"Je suis femme maison." "You are a wifehouse? Oh, a housewife. Je suis une femme au foyer." "Wow, that actually sounds worse in French. Let's go with je suis mere." He is drenched in youth, this young man, she thinks. He is soaked in all its possibilities. Following years of a life lived as a wife and mother, Annie is gifted French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. As time passes and the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen . . . Told over the course of one year through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

Skorzeny - Život na hraně, 3. vydání


„Láká mne neobyčejný způsob života,“ zapsal si vídeňský student Otto Skorzeny v době, kdy jeho tvář zdobila první jizva z buršáckého souboje. Jeho přání se naplnilo. Elitního příslušníka SS, Hitlerova osobního oblíbence a specialistu na nejtajnější operace (jen namátkou: osvobození Mussoliniho, únos Horthyho syna, pokusy o zabití Josipa Broze-Tita či nasazení německých jednotek v amerických uniformách při ardenské ofenzivě) nazval velitel spojeneckých armád generál Dwight D. Eisenhower „nejnebezpečnějším mužem Evropy“. Autor svou předchozí knihu Já, Otto Skorzeny…! obohatil o dramatické zpracování poválečného období, kdy Otto Skorzeny v různých koutech světa splétal temnou pavučinu neonacistických a protidemokratických intrik. Skorzeny se během svého života mnohokrát stal záhadami opředenou legendou. Pohled pod její povrch je strhujícím příběhem člověka, který svou nespornou odvahu a inteligenci za všech okolností, tedy za války i po ní, nabídl do služeb zla.

To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her.

But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone. And there's only one person to blame. James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin.

Girl Reflected in Knife


Destiny cannot count on anyone but herself. Her mother has struggled with addiction for all of Destiny’s seventeen years, moving them from town to town, bad boyfriend to bad boyfriend - including a particularly dark period in Texas, where Destiny ended up in a psychiatric hospital. But now they’re in a small town in a new state and her mother’s new boyfriend is sober and stable. And even more remarkable, Destiny has caught the eye of local golden boy Ryan. But Destiny’s fairy tale bubble bursts when Ryan says their summer romance has to give way to football season. Destiny spirals hard, retreating into the same delusional and dissociative patterns that landed her in psychiatric care as a child, but this time the breakdown culminates in a pregnancy that can’t possibly be real. Destiny’s skill as an artist is alternately a lifeline and a millstone as she struggles to resurface and reconnect with reality.

Ukraine’s Move to the West


This book examines the intervention of global elite networks in the context of Ukraine’s EU-IMF deal within the overall ‘Euromaidan moment’ (late 2013–early 2014). It develops an empirically grounded investigation focused on three sets of modalities within the EU-IMF package during this time period – namely, GM agriculture (biotechnology), hydraulic fracking and an internationally enabled regime change – as proposed solutions for urgent problems confronting Ukraine. There is a particular spotlight on the intersections between corporate actors, political players, foundations and think tanks in the reproduction of particular constellations of power between Western (particularly U.S.-based) networks and Ukrainian agents and intermediaries. The complexity of social dynamics allow for multiple forms of power to operate at once in this space of international politics. This book details and analyses how the global elite network operating around Ukraine at this time produced the three unusual outcomes associated with the agreed EU-IMF policy agenda (GM agriculture, fracking and a regime change). It contributes to the analysis of how global elite networks operate and power works in international relations, and also enhances how the tumultuous politics of Ukraine in the current century are understood.The subject of this book is fairly controversial and is a high-profile current political problem. Looking at these issues through the analytical framework of social networks brings forward a welcomed investigation into agency in international studies. The attention to personal and political ties of mutual interdependence differs from more commonly used mainstream accounts of global politics that rely on ‘US versus Russia’ narratives or on corporate elites pursuing business deals. This book shows how close ties of social acquaintance and political-economic compacts prove crucial to understanding how the key issue areas evolved. This book advances the understanding of how power works in international politics, showing how it is built through different forms. It also advances the understanding of how global elite networks are formed and operate, along with specific investigation into the importance of gatekeepers, and thus explains the international political economy of Ukraine at a key moment and should prove invaluable to many academic and popular explanations.

Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers


Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand-strong military unit, recruited primarily from the Jewish population of Palestine, and the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War. Gianluca Fantoni reconstructs the military and human experience of the brigade in Italy and investigates its enduring and controversial place in memory and public debate. Formed in 1944, the JBG saw combat in the final stages of the Italian campaign, where its soldiers fought with distinction against German forces. After the war, many of its members – who often had little or no military training, and included artists, scientists, and farmers – engaged in clandestine efforts to smuggle Holocaust survivors and weapons into Palestine, laying the groundwork for the future Israeli state. Others sought retribution against Nazis and collaborators in acts that revealed both the trauma of genocide and the desire for justice. Far more than a conventional military history, Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers is both a critical study of the political uses of history and a vivid, passionate narrative that brings to life the men and women of the brigade. Accessible and engaging, this book offers readers a rare lens through which to understand the intersections of war, memory, and politics in twentieth-century Europe.

Bodies of Work


A chilling supernatural revenge novella from the acclaimed author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes. Perfect for fans of Joe Hill and Delilah S. Dawson. At sixty-six years old, Winston Kemper has always been a nonentity. No one notices him. His simple existence barely registers for those who come into contact with him. Some call him feeble-minded. He is a janitor at the local church, a groundskeeper by default, and that's it. No friends, no family. When he's done with work, he returns home-a remote, single room apartment located above a garage-and that is where his true work begins. Winston Kemper is a collector of voices, and his magnum opus-The Butterfly Girls-is a sprawling epic of untapped imagination. It has no single canvas, no particular frame. It is everywhere-scribbled on the walls, the floor, and countless notebooks. Winston is creating a fantasia which exists in words, images and blood. As part of his 'art' he has been murdering forgotten women. Poor souls who slip through the cracks of society, who no one's looking for. Mothers, sisters, daughters to someone, but no more. Winston takes their lives, their voices. But now he can hear them. They whisper to him. They talk of revenge. Winston Kemper might not believe in ghosts, but he is about to learn they are very real. And they are very, very angry.

Systémy něhy


Nepodobá se někdy lidský život mechanismu? A kolik něhy se může skrývat ve stroji? Mladá pianistka Ada Fischerová má před sebou zářnou kariéru, jádro její existence je však vyhaslé. Když byla malá, vzal ji otec na výstavu automatů — samohybných figurín, zdánlivě nadaných vlastní vůlí, ale ve skutečnosti stále opakujících jediné naprogramované gesto. Tento zážitek na Adu silně zapůsobil — jako by spatřila memento celého svého budoucího života. Co vlastně sleduje svou cílevědomostí? Nesnaží se jen zavděčit mrtvému otci? Jeho ztrátou se v ní cosi nenapravitelně porouchalo. Jediný dlouhodobý „milostný vztah“ udržuje se svým hudebním nástrojem a jako by se sama pomalu stávala strojem, automatem plnícím svou jedinou smutnou funkci. Adin příběh zrcadlí osudy lidí, kteří se také oddali nejrůznějším systémům — hudbě, šachovnici, algoritmu. Jako vynálezce metronomu Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, jako skladatel a pianista Alexandr Nikolajevič Skrjabin nebo jako Adin milenec Hans.
