'When people ask me what I do for a crust and I tell them that I'm a novelist, they immediately assume that my life is a non-stop carousel of limos, television appearances, hair-dos, devoted fans, stalkers and all the glitzy paraphernalia of being a public figure. It's time to set the record straight. I write alone, in a darkened bedroom, wearing my PJs, eating bananas, my laptop on a pillow in front of me ...'

Through the Eyes of Mary Magdalene Logosophia

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Estelle Isaacson presents further visions of the life of Mary Magdalene-spanning more than three decades-in this third volume of the trilogy Through the Eyes of Mary Magdalene, subtitled From the Ascension to Journeys in Gaul. Once again, the text is illustrated by the paintings of James J. Tissot. Part One opens on the morning after the Resurrection and takes us through the 50 days leading up to the Ascension, which we witness, receiving new revelations regarding this mysterious event. In Part Two we follow Magdalene as she lives in hiding for approximately three years, teaching and healing in secret, until captured and sent to sea-along with her siblings Lazarus and Martha, Celidonius, Maximin, and Sarah and Marcella (handmaids to Magdalene and Martha)-in a boat without tiller. Part Three opens as the seven arrive in Gaul. Many exciting events take place in that new land: Magdalene drives away barbarians, befriends a chieftain, and spends time in the wilderness contemplating Christ Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection, while doing her great work of expiation. Meanwhile, Martha sets to work, building up a women's assembly and strengthening the church in Aix-en-Provence, while Lazarus becomes first bishop of the new church in Gaul. Eventually Magdalene retreats to a cave to live out her final years. During that time she is blessed with divine visions, especially of the Virgin Mother, and is also visited by the hermit Marceaux and other devotees. Her glorious death is portrayed in vivid detail. The Epilogue brings us forward to the time of the Grail. Part Four offers eight appendices: Touching the Hem of Jesus's Cloak; The Holy Women Speak of Sophia (concerning appearances of Magdalene throughout time); A Message from the Lady of the Cross; The Temple of the Being of Magdalene; The Ascension and Entombment; The Sacrament of the Communion of Fishes; The Birth of Zarathustra, concerning also the eternal mission of the Three Kings; and Eternal Israel. "Magdalene calls us to the Resurrection; she invites us all to become, with her, 'first witnesses.' The Resurrection is an eternal event; it still lives! We also can be 'first' to behold the Resurrection, standing in the place of Magdalene. Just as she was the first to behold the Risen One in the physical realm over two millennia ago, so now can we be 'first witnesses' in our own time." -From the Prologue"Everyone seeking deeper meaning in life may find edification from reading and contemplating the extraordinary and penetrating visions presented in the Mary Magdalene trilogy."-Robert Powell, author of The Mystery, Biography, and Destiny of Mary Magdalene.

Frances Burney Palgrave Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Frances Burney was above all things a professional writer, many-sided and courageous. She often depicted herself as modest and fearful, but this was only part of her character and not the most important part. She embraced inconsistencies and changed with her times. Her eighty-seven years began in the reign of George II and ended five years after the accession of Queen Victoria. She was witness to George III's madness, the trial of Warren Hastings, and the carnage after Waterloo. In her private diaries she wrote about this and much else. She forced on the reading public themes they were scarcely ready to accept. Though she wrote mainly comedy, the subjects of her four novels and eight plays are intimate violence, the depredations of the new money, and the frustrations bordering on torment experienced by single, middle-class women. Because of her novels, said Edmund Burke, 'writing like a lady' had become a compliment any man would be proud to accept.

?A virtuoso performance, the 508-page equivalent to one of Springsteen and the E Street Band's famous four-hour concerts: Nothing is left onstage, and diehard fans and first-timers alike depart for home sated and yet somehow already aching for more.? ?NPR?Richly rewarding?Bruce Springsteen proves that he has taken on life fully engaged both in living and examining it, and in doing so, he?s delivered a story as profoundly inspiring as his best music?It?s alternately brutally honest, philosophically deep, stabbingly funny, and, perhaps most important, refreshingly humble.? ?Los Angeles TimesIn 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl?s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That?s how this extraordinary autobiography began.Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as ?The Big Bang?: seeing Elvis Presley?s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work and shows us why the song ?Born to Run? reveals more than we previously realized.Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star?s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll.Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (?Thunder Road,? ?Badlands,? ?Darkness on the Edge of Town,? ?The River,? ?Born in the U.S.A.,? ?The Rising,? and ?The Ghost of Tom Joad,? to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen?s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences

Seasons in the Sun Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Dominic Sandbrook's magnificent account of the late 1970s in Britain - the book behind the major BB2 series "The Seventies". The late 1970s were Britain's years of strife and the good life. They saw inflation, riots, the peak of trade union power - and also the birth of home computers, the rise of the ready meal and the triumph of a Grantham grocer's daughter who would change everything. Dominic Sandbrook recreates this extraordinary period in all its chaos and contradiction, revealing it as a turning point in our recent history, where, in everything from families and schools to punk and Doctor Who, the future of the nation was being decided. Reviews: "Magnificent ...if you lived through the late Seventies - or, for that matter, even if you didn't - don't miss this book". ("Mail on Sunday"). "Sandbrook has created a specific style of narrative history, blending high politics, social change and popular culture ...always readable and assured ...[A] splendid book". (Stephen Robinson, "Sunday Times"). "[Sandbrook] has a remarkable ability to turn a sow's ear into a sulk purse. His subject is depressing, but the book itself is a joy...Sandbrook is, without doubt, superb..."Seasons in the Sun" is a familiar story, yet seldom has it been told with such verve". (Gerard DeGroot, "Seven"). "A brilliant historian...I had never fully appreciated what a truly horrible period it was until reading Sandbrook". (A. N. Wilson, "Spectator"). "Nuanced...Sandbrook has rummaged deep into the cultural life of the era to remind us how rich it was, from Bowie to Dennis Potter, Martin Amis to William Golding". (Damian Whitworth, "The Times"). "Sharply and fluently written ...entertaining...By making you quite nostalgic for the present, Sandbrook has done a public service". ("Evening Standard"). About the author: Born in Shropshire ten days before the October 1974 election, Dominic Sandbrook was educated at Oxford, St Andrews and Cambridge. He is the author of three hugely acclaimed books on post-war Britain: "Never Had It So Good", "White Heat" and "State of Emergency", and two books on modern American history, "Eugene McCarthy" and "Mad as Hell". A prolific reviewer and columnist, he writes regularly for the "Sunday Times", "Daily Mail", "New Statesman" and "BBC History.

Aron Nimzowitsch 1928-1935

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

ChessCafe Book of the Year Finalist! English Chess Federation Book of the Year Finalist! Every chess player who is serious about improving his game, should study the lessons of  Aron Nimzowitsch  (1886-1935). 'My System' (published in 1925) and 'Chess Praxis' (1928) had tremendous impact and made Nimzowitsch one of the most influential chess thinkers of the 20thcentury. His books continue to be printed, sold and read to this day.  During several decades of research, German chess historian  Rudolf Reinhardt  compiled, from an immense variety of sources, all the games Nimzowitsch played after 1928. They are presented with notes by Nimzowitsch himself and, in some cases, by his contemporaries.  In addition to the games, Reinhardt also collected the articles and essays that Nimzowitsch wrote during that period. Reinhardt#8217;s collection starts where Nimzowitsch#8217;s second volume Chess Praxis ends. It offers a unique view of the chess world of the late 1920s and 1930s, its top tournaments and the state of theory.  More importantly, it portrays Nimzowitsch the chess player and author in the last seven years of his short life. It#8217;s all there: the fights, the competitors and the polemics, the theories and teachings, in the incomparable style of the master: pointed, elegant, precise and highly original. Peter Anderberg, Schach Magazine: #8220;If Nimzowitsch had published an additional third part of his two-volume #8216;System#8217; series, he would definitely have used a large part of the material that is collected in this book.#8221; KARL Magazine: #8220;A must for every fan of the great teacher of the Hypermodern.#8221; Michael McGuerty, ChessCafe: "A great collection. It is well worth your time, and you will likely find this more entertaining and instructive than many modern-day publications." Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine: "A wonderful book. It's a real labor of love containing a veritable bonanza of fresh Nimzowitsch material." The Judges of the ECF Book of the Year Award: "The blurb describes it well: 'The unauthorised sequel to 'My System' and 'Chess Praxis'. A historically valuable book, which also contains much stimulating and opinionated writing that is worth reading today." John D. Warth, Chess Club of Southern Indiana: "Conveys the weight and authrority of a modern classic: an insightful collection of brilliant games that satisfy with every page. This authoritative work deserves a place of prominence on the shelf of every serious student of the game." Matthew Sadler, former British Champion : "A wonderful collection and a joy to read." Rochade Europa Magazine: #8220;The book convinces throughout. Reinhardt#8217;s work will be of vital importance for all future study of Nimzowitsch#8217;s life and career." G ary Lane, British Chess Magazine: "A wonderful collection of Nimzowitsch#8217;s games and thoughts, which is destined to be a chess classic." Max Euwe Centre, Amsterdam: "This book is incredibly complete, a book by a chess lover for other chess lovers. It is full of uniquely annotated games of a technically very gifted player with a absolutely original style." Paul Kane, Manchester Chess Federation: "Chockfull of wonderful chess and is a significant contribution to our understanding of Nimzowitsch#8217;s thought. His personality shines through in both the articles and the annotations, and his profundity is everywhere apparent." Richard Vedder, Schakers.info: "I like this book a lot. It is a hefty tome full o f material that we can learn from, also in 2014."

The prequel to Bob Stanley's universally acclaimed Yeah Yeah Yeah, Let's Do It is the only book that brings together all genres to tell the definitive story of the birth of Pop, from 1900 to the mid-fifties. 'An encyclopaedic introduction to the fascinating and often forgotten creators of Anglo-American hit music in the first half of the Twentieth Century.' NEIL TENNANT'An absolute landmark/joy/gossip-fest/door to Narnia: the history of pop music before rock'n'roll. Fascinating. I can't recommend it enough.' CAITLIN MORANPop music didn't begin with the Beatles in 1963, or with Elvis in 1956, or even with the first seven-inch singles in 1949. There was a pre-history that went back to the first recorded music, right back to the turn of the century . . .Who were the earliest record stars, and were they in any meaningful way 'pop stars'? Who were the likes of George Gershwin writing songs for? Why did swing, the hit sound for a decade or more, become almost invisible after the Second World War?The prequel to Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah, Let's Do It is the first book to tell the definitive story of the birth of pop, from the invention of the 78 rpm record at the end of the nineteenth century to the beginnings of rock and the modern pop age. Taking in superstars such as Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra alongside the unheralded songwriters and arrangers behind some of our most enduring songs, Stanley paints an aural portrait of pop music's formative years in stunning clarity, uncovering the silver threads and golden needles that bind the form together.Bringing the eclectic, evolving world of early pop to life - from ragtime, blues and jazz to Broadway, country, crooning and beyond - Let's Do It is essential reading for all music lovers.

Art of War (Chiron Academic Press - The Original Authoritative Edition) Chiron Academic Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

THE ART OF WAR (Chinese: żżżż; pinyin: Sunzi bingfa) is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician, and kindred to the Realpolitik of his time, termed in China as Legalism. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics, and "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name." It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.Beyond its military and intelligence applications from earliest days to the present time, THE ART OF WAR has been applied to many fields well outside of the military. Much of the text is about how to fight wars without actually having to do battle: it gives tips on how to outsmart one's opponent so that physical battle is not necessary. As such, it has found application as a training guide for many competitive endeavors that do not involve actual combat. There are business books applying its lessons to office politics and corporate strategy. Many companies make the book required reading for their key executives. The book is also popular among Western business management, who have turned to it for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive business situations. It has also been applied to the field of education. The Art of War has been the subject of law books and legal articles on the trial process, including negotiation tactics and trial strategy.
