Christopher Isherwood Inside Out
An engrossing new biography of the man whose writings about 1930s Berlin made him famous. From the editor of Isherwood's diaries and letters.
Christopher Isherwood rejected the life he was born to and set out to make a different one. Heir to an English estate, he flunked out of university, moved to Berlin, was driven through Europe by the Nazis, and circled the globe before finally settling in Hollywood. There he adopted a new religion and continued to form the friendships - including an astounding number of romantic and sexual ones, often with other celebrated artists - through which he discovered himself.
Isherwood repeatedly fictionalised his friends and himself - from the detached 'Christopher Isherwood' of Goodbye to Berlin to George, the unapologetic middle-aged lover of men, in A Single Man, and the boldly out narrator of Christopher and His Kind. He was determined to portray his milieu appealingly to mainstream audiences in lucid, entertaining, often hilarious prose. Frankness about his sexuality, political beliefs and religion made him both a figurehead for the left and a target for the right. All the while, among the many public, constructed selves, an inmost self remained hidden.
Using a wealth of unpublished material, Christopher Isherwood Inside Out reveals the drama and complexity of Isherwood's interior world. It tells how the traumas of his father's death in World War I and his failure to protect his German lover from the Nazis were healed by his life as a monk in the 1940s, enabling him to commit unflinchingly to a sexually open relationship in the 1950s, and to come out as a 'grand old man' of the gay rights movement in the 1970s.
With this new biography, enriched by unlimited access to Isherwood's partner Don Bachardy, Katherine Bucknell shows how Christopher Isherwood achieved a uniquely inspiring personal life. He effected lasting change in our culture, through both his literary works and the way he lived.
V uniformě nepřítele
V průběhu druhé světové války bylo do německé branné moci nuceně mobilizováno mnoho občanů okupovaných evropských států, přestože se nejednalo o etnické Němce. Tento osud potkal i překvapivě velkou část obyvatel českých zemí. Řada z nich zůstala v německé uniformě až do konce války, jiní se službě snažili vyhnout nebo přešli do spojeneckého zajetí. Někteří dokonce ze zajateckých táborů podali přihlášku do exilových vojenských jednotek. Dobrovolně tak vstoupili pod prapory odboje, bojujícího za osvobození okupované vlasti. Podobné osudy prožíval i překvapivě velký počet obyvatel českých zemí. Po válce se ovšem jejich příběh nehodil do obecného narativu jednoduché trichotomie oběti, odboje a kolaborace. Proto byl v Evropě i v Česku přijímán s rozpaky a dlouhou dobu opomíjen, marginalizován, nebo dokonce zamlčován.

Jsou vaše děti připravené vydat se při čtení napínavých příběhů do neznámých krajů, objevovat skrytá tajemství přírody, zažít dobrodružství a čelit nebezpečí uprostřed pralesní divočiny? Pokud ano, dobrodružný cestopis Cesta k poslední řece je pro ně tím pravým čtením. Příběh riskantní výpravy neznámého dobrodruha do amazonského deštného pralesa začíná objevem tajemné mapy, ze které někdo z neznámých důvodů vymazal řeku. Při čtení napínavého příběhu o pátrání po tajemství té ztracené řeky děti zažijí setkání s kajmanem, anakondou, neuvěřitelnou přírodou a množstvím neznámých pralesních zvířat a rostlin.
Lucian Freud
"One of the best books ever written by one painter about another." ? John Russell, The New York Times
First published in 1982, Lawrence Gowing's Lucian Freud is an intimate portrayal of one of the twentieth century's most exceptional artists. At once a pivotal narrative, a furtive autobiography, and a profound exploration of what it means to think through paint, this book represents a historically significant collaboration between two of modern art's brightest minds.
Drawing on forty years of friendship?as well as his own painterly intuition?Gowing's commentary pushes language to the very edge of meaning, evoking the richness of Freud's art with poetic incisiveness as he locates, within the paint itself, "a coiled vigilance and . . . a serpentine litheness in the ready, rapid way in which an object was confronted."
Freud's deep involvement in the original book offers rare insight into the artist as he was in the 1980s. The conversations and questions that shape Gowing's text produced some of Freud's most memorable and widely quoted reflections, while Freud's choice and grouping of paintings and drawings reveal unexpected connections across his works, as seen through his eyes.
Completely redesigned and reissued after many years out of print, this book remains a landmark publication on Lucian Freud.

It is a hand sewing technique with a long and colourful history, based on simple stitches that anyone can pick up, regardless of skill level. This book contains both simple and advanced patterns to cater to those both new and well-versed in this timeless craft.
Sashiko is used to repair and decorate clothing, bed covers, tablecloths; nearly any textile you could think of. It is a functional, decorative way to give new life to tired or damaged clothing. In Mending with Sashiko, you will learn how to sew with different techniques such as hitomezashi, moyozashi and koginsashi, and learn which techniques are best for which materials. There are direct instructions on how to mend jeans, shirts, socks and more, as well as how to utilise your new skills on larger projects, such as patchwork quilts.
Takao 'Momi' Momiyama is a renowned artist and Sashiko practitioner, and in Mending with Sashiko you are invited into his workshop where he shares his best tips and tricks for successful stitching. You can dive into Momi's archive and take a closer look at garments that he has repeatedly repaired with Sashiko over the years; in some cases, up to 40 years. You can observe how this continuous cycle of wear, tear and repair affects the clothing in a way that is rarely seen in our throw-away culture, and see how mending your clothes with Sashiko, either simply with functionality in mind or with more intricate embroidery patterns, turns your clothes into unique and sustainable pieces for life.
Maloměstská idyla / Z krajského města
Devátý svazek díla J. K. Šlejhara přináší dvě povídkové sbírky z autorova pozdního tvůrčího období. Oba tituly spojuje městská tematika, avšak na rozdíl od předchozí sbírky Z Prahy v nich nejde o obraz velkoměstského prostředí, ale o zachycení osudů obyvatel menších měst. Maloměstská idyla odráží život v autorově podkrkonošském rodišti, v kraji jeho dětství a mládí; povídky souboru Z krajského města pak byly inspirovány jeho pobytem v Kolíně, kde v prvních letech 20. století působil jako středoškolský učitel. V čele každé sbírky stojí jedna stěžejní próza, určující ráz Šlejharovy pozdní tvorby. V Maloměstské idyle je to rozsáhlá povídka Kyvadlo věčnosti, v níž se velké kyvadlo radniční věže proměňuje v symbol nikdy nekončícího běhu času, který vymaňuje hrdinu z nesnesitelných podmínek pozemského života. V druhé sbírce je to pak Zátoka smrti, mocný obraz přírodního zákoutí, v němž řeka strhává do svého neodolatelného víru vše živé. Obě prózy, v nichž vrcholí Šlejharův svébytný symbolismus, spolu s ostatními povídkami podávají obraz neblahého údělu člověka.

The Virago Book of Friendship
A fond, fascinated look at women''s friendship through the fiction, diaries, and letters of friends''A highly entertaining, often instructive anthology bursting with every kind of amicable - or inimical - anecdote . . . Cooke has dug deep and uncovered nuggets of pure gold in every form of writing . . . a delicious book about the great power and strength of real friendship'' TABLET Friendship, a timeless subject, has never been more debated, something that has to do both with the internet - the perils of WhatsApp groups, the agony of ghosting - as well as with a growing awareness that loneliness is increasing in our society. Friendship has become a matter of urgent inquiry to therapists, scientists and sociologists. We understand its importance more and more, not only as a comfort and a privilege, but as vital to our health. But it''s hard to get inside friendship: its particular intensity and its miraculous ease; its tendency to wax and wane; its ability to inspire both delight and despair. This is the territory of novels and poems, diaries and letters, comics and graphic novels - and it is where the innovative and wide ranging Virago Book of Friendship steps in, bringing together work by more than 100 writers. From Jane Austen to Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf, from Dolly Alderton to Sarah Waters and Meg Wolitzer and, it celebrates and investigates friendship between women from first encounters to final goodbyes, from falling out to making up again.''A treasure chest'' THE TIMES''An uplifting anthology'' HARPER''S BAZAAR''A fascinating document'' LITERARY REVIEW''An exhilaratingly wide array'' SPECTATOR
Wise
'Transformative . . . gripping . . . sincerely recommended' GUARDIAN'Frank Tallis is one of the most insightful psychologists of our time . . . Wise is for anyone, young or old, in search of happiness' JACK SYMES'This is a rich and beautiful book' GWEN ADSHEAD, author of THE DEVIL YOU KNOWWe are living longer and our lifespan after the middle years continues to extend due to medical advances. But how do you age wisely? How do you remain psychologically healthy and fully engaged given the immense and daunting challenges of later life - accumulated regrets, loss, disappointments, physical deterioration, and mortalit? rom ancient Greece to the 21st century, the greatest philosophers and psychologists have considered these questions, and remarkably, their opinions converge. There is a single essential task - integration - that once accomplished, equips us to cope with the many problems we are likely to encounter as we get older. What's more, their insights are supported by cutting-edge neuroscience. Exploring the common ground shared by the Stoics and the Existentialists, William James and CG Jung, Iain McGilchrist and Daniel Siegel, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis has written his own essential alternative to the standard self-help prescriptions. Frank Tallis takes on such questions as how we can embrace and accept our mortality when our brains are hard-wired to resist it, how we can achieve meaning in our lives, and how we can understand the passage of time and make the most of it. It's immensely readable whilst also intelligent and thought-provoking.

Shift
Whether it's anxiety about the dentist, boiling rage when we're stuck in traffic or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiralling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. When they're activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation and helping us make the right choices.
But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths - for instance, that avoidance is toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment - and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don't take over our lives.
Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions - from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter's life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr Kross shows us that we already have access to a wide array of tools and demonstrates how to harness them to be healthier and more successful.
Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research and inspiring stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us - and help others do the same.
