Fabiano Caruana: His Amazing Story and His Most Instructive Chess Games

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

THE FIRST AMERICAN SINCE BOBBY FISCHER TO PLAY FOR THE WORLD TITLE!#8216;I started working with Fabiano when he was only five#8217;, remembers legendary New York City chess trainer Bruce Pandolfini. #8216;It was obvious that he had a rare intuition, was brave in attack and was one of the most talented players of his age that I had seen.#8217;Pandolfini had seen right. At 14 years, 11 months and 20 days, Fabiano Caruana became the youngest Grandmaster in the history of the United States and embarked on a glorious career.Among his countless tournament victories Caruana#8217;s legendary win in St Louis in 2014 stands out, making him the third-highest ranked chess player in history. In 2016 he became US Champion and led the golden US team at the Chess Olympiad. His victory at the 2018 Candidates Tournament in Berlin earned Caruana the right to challenge World Champion Magnus Carlsen in a match for the highest title.Alexander Kalinin chronicles the amazing story of the first American Challenger since Bobby Fischer and follows his development from a pure attacker to a universal, all-round star. This selection of Caruana#8217;s best and most instructive games, arranged in thematic chapters, is a perfect guide for amateur chess players, as there is plenty to be learned about all the skills that really matter. Grandmaster  Alexander Kalinin  is a distinguished chess trainer from Russia. He coached Daniel Naroditsky (USA) to win the World Youth Championship and is the author of the acclaimed  Chess Training for Candidate Masters .  Grandmaster Matthew Sadler, award-winning author of  Chess for Life #8220;It is extremely current, featuring a game from the Stavanger tournament in May 2018! The annotations are at a good level for the club player: not too many variations, some background on the openings used and a fair amount of explanation throughout the game. An interesting and well-written book.#8221; International Master John Donaldson #8220;The games are well-annotated offering variations where needed, but also plenty of explanatory prose. The latter makes this book accessible to a wide audience of players. The first half of the book proceeds in chronological fashion with not only games, but plenty of biographical material. The second half consists  of chapters arranged around parts of the game where Caruana excels. Kalinin presents two smooth victories by Fabiano in [the Berlin Defence] (including a win over Carlsen) that illustrate his principled and crisp play quite nicely and suggest the World Championship match this fall should be something special. Photographs and indexes round out a first rate production.#8221; Grandmaster Simen Agdestein, former trainer of Magnus Carlsen #8220;I liked the book, as I like Caruana. But I hope Magnus will win!#8221; Elburg Chess Reviews #8220;A fascinating read.#8221; Carl Portman, author of  Chess Behind Bars #8220;The book assert that it is the perfect guide for amateur chess players. I have heard this claim many times on book covers only to be disappointed when scrutinising it. Yet, in this case it really is true. Informative, well laid out, easy to read and just delightful. Read it before the World Champs start.#8221; Johan Hut, Noord-Holland Dagblad #8220;A wonderful book.#8221; CHESS Magazine(UK) #8220;Russian Grandmaster Kalinin has chronicled Fabiano Caruana#8217;s career, while presenting a number of his best games. These are well-annotated and grouped by theme, with the emphasis on clear and instructive notes.#8221; Heinz Daubler, Oberpfalz Medien #8220;Right on time and should be present in every chess library.#8221;

Gordon Parks: Segregation Story. Expanded edition Steidl Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This new edition of Gordon Parks' Segregation Story includes several never-before-published photographs, as well as enhanced reproductions created from Parks' original transparencies. A selection of 26 images from Segregation Story first appeared in the September 24, 1956 issue of Life magazine as part of the photo essay "The Restraints: Open and Hidden." Although some of these were exhibited during his lifetime, the bulk of Parks' assignment was thought lost. In 2011, five years after Parks' death, The Gordon Parks Foundation discovered more than 70 color transparencies from the series. Revising the original book published by Steidl in 2014, this expanded edition is the most comprehensive publication of this pivotal body of work to date.In the summer following the 1955 bus boycott in Montgomery, Life magazine sent Parks to Alabama to document the daily realities of African Americans living under Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. Over the course of several weeks in summer 1956, he photographed an extended Black family, the Causeys, at home and work in the rural South. The resulting images are among Parks' most powerful and groundbreaking, and have since become iconic representations of the conditions that led to the civil rights movement. Among them is one of Joanne Thornton Wilson and her niece, Shirley Anne Kirksey, standing in front of a theater in Mobile, Alabama-a celebrated photograph that became, in Parks' words, a forceful "weapon of choice" in the struggle against racism and segregation. In addition to unseen images from the series, the expanded Segregation Story includes a new essay by artist Dawoud Bey, alongside texts from the first edition by the late art historian Maurice Berger and the esteemed journalist and civil rights activist Charlayne Hunter-Gault.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation

A Girl is a Half-formed Thing Faber & Faber

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This is the winner of the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Kerry Group Irish Novel of the year award. It is the winner of the Goldsmiths Prize. Eimear McBride's debut tells, with astonishing insight and in brutal detail, the story of a young woman's relationship with her brother, and the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour. Not so much a stream of consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, to read A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing is to plunge inside its narrator's head, experiencing her world first-hand. This isn't always comfortable - but it is always a revelation. Touching on everything from family violence to sexuality and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma, McBride writes with singular intensity, acute sensitivity and mordant wit.A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is moving, funny - and alarming.

Lewis Hamilton: My Story HarperCollins Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Lewis Hamilton's explosive arrival on the Formula 1 scene has made front-page headlines. In My Story, for the first time Lewis opens up about his stunning debut season in grand prix racing, as well as his dad Anthony, his home life and his early years.The only book with the real story, as told by Lewis. In his first season in F1, Lewis Hamilton thrilled the world of motor racing by finishing on the podium in his first nine consecutive races - the first driver to do so in the sport's 57-year history - and drove to victories in Canada, America, Hungary and Japan. But bare statistics alone do scant justice to the amazing impact Lewis Hamilton has had on the sporting landscape.My Story gives the real account from Lewis himself, as he sets the record straight about his colourful life on and off the track. Given a grounded upbringing by his dedicated father in unremarkable Stevenage, Lewis tells about how he first tried out go-karting while on a cut-price family holiday in Ibiza. In his book he gives the real version of events at a motor sport dinner where, as a nine-year-old wearing a borrowed suit, he approached McLaren team boss Ron Dennis with the immortal words that were to change his life forever. He rose rapidly through the Junior and Formula ranks, dominating every series with his raw speed and canny race craft.Here Lewis candidly recalls those key moments that shaped his career and went some way towards compensating for the sacrifices made by his father Anthony in getting his son to the top. Lewis also charts how he got into the sport and was signed up by Ron Dennis, what motivates him, who are his closest friends, how he copes with the constant travelling, and the physical and mental challenges of driving a state-of-the-art Formula 1 car.He looks back in detail at the 2007 World Championship - the race wins, the frightening crash in Germany, his intense rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso, his special relationship with Ron Dennis, and the furore over the Ferrari allegations - right up to the dramatic last race of the season in Brazil.
