A fascinating look into the life and work of controversial French novelist Irene NemirovskyIrene Nemirovsky succeeded in creating a brilliant career as a novelist in the 1930s, only to have her life cut short: a "foreign Jew" in France, she was deported in 1942 and died in Auschwitz. But her two young daughters survived, and as adults they brought their mother back to life. In 2004, Suite francaise, Nemirovsky's posthumous novel, became an international best seller; some critics, however, condemned her as a "self-hating Jew" whose earlier works were rife with anti-Semitic stereotypes. Informed by personal interviews with Nemirovsky's descendants and others, as well as by extensive archival research, this wide-ranging intellectual biography situates Nemirovsky in the literary and political climate of interwar France and recounts, for the first time, the postwar

In The Revolution Has Come Robyn C. Spencer traces the Black Panther Party's organizational evolution in Oakland, California, where hundreds of young people came to political awareness and journeyed to adulthood as members. Challenging the belief that the Panthers were a projection of the leadership, Spencer draws on interviews with rank-and-file members, FBI files, and archival materials to examine the impact the organization's internal politics and COINTELPRO's political repression had on its evolution and dissolution. She shows how the Panthers' members interpreted, implemented, and influenced party ideology and programs; initiated dialogues about gender politics; highlighted ambiguities in the Panthers' armed stance; and criticized organizational priorities. Spencer also centers gender politics and the experiences of women and their contributions to the Panthers and the Black

Now 20 years since its initial release, Richard Dyer s classic text White remains a groundbreaking and insightful study of the representation of whiteness in Western visual culture.White explores how, while racial representation is central to the organization of the contemporary world, white people have remained a largely unexamined category in sharp contrast to the many studies of images of black and Asian peoples. Looking beyond the apparent unremarkability of whiteness, Dyer demonstrates the importance of analyzing images of white people.Dyer places this representation within the contexts of Christianity, race and colonialism. In a series of absorbing case studies, he shows the construction of whiteness in the technology of photography and film as part of a wider culture of light, discusses heroic white masculinity in muscle-man action cinema, from

Všechno v životě designérky Elizabeth Eganové má své pevné místo – od hrníčků na kávu v nablýskané kuchyni až po vzorníky a kelímky s barvou v pracovně. Má pocit, že díky dokonalému pořádku a pečlivosti se jí daří držet svůj život pod kontrolou – a vyhýbat se trápení a bolesti, kterou zažila v minulosti. Snaží se naplno věnovat práci a přitom být matkou svému adoptovanému šestiletému synovci Lukovi, takže jí už nezbývá čas na nic jiného – na omyly, ale ani na nějaké příjemné povyražení. Až do okamžiku, kdy do Lukova i jejího života vstoupí záhadný, bezstarostný a spontánní Ivan. Luke tvrdí, že je to jeho „neviditelný přítel“, Elizabeth považuje pohledného muže za otce Lukova kamaráda Sama.Ivan obrátí život usedlé Elizabeth Eganové naruby a postupně jí pomáhá bořit všechny zdi, kterými se obehnala ze strachu z dalšího zklamání. Díky němu se pohledná, schopná a pedanticky pořádkumilovná žena odhodlá udělat pořádek i ve své minulosti a odhalit tajemství, které za sebou vleče jako těžkou kouli už od dětských let. Díky Ivanovi se učí, že všechno zlé je pro něco dobré, a plní si sny, které jí jako dítěti nikdo nesplnil. A její dosud jednotvárný život začíná rozkvétat a vstupují do něj city, které si Elizabeth dávno zakázala.

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves? He ends with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

Hypnoterapeutka Ellen sa cez internet zoznámi so sympatickým Patrickom a ich vzťah naberie rýchle obrátky. Keď si uvedomí, že by mohol byť ten pravý, prekvapí ju nečakanou správou – už celé roky ho prenasleduje bývalá priateľka Saskia. Keďže Ellen odjakživa zaujímalo, čo vedie ľudí k nezvyčajnému správaniu, táto informácia ju neodstraší. Práve naopak. Pochytí ju zvláštna súťaživosť, snaha dokázať, že je lepšia. Čím viac o Saskii počúva, tým viac sa s ňou túži stretnúť. Netuší, že sa tak stalo už neraz.Saskia navštevuje Ellen ako klientka, no skrýva sa za iné meno. Nie je schopná vzdať sa života s Patrikom, o ktorý nečakane prišla, a túži sa dozvedieť všetko o žene, ktorá ju nahradila. Preniká hlboko do Elleninho sveta a vyrába čoraz väčšie problémy. Neškodné správy a „náhodné“ stretnutia v reštauráciách Saskii nestačia a postupne pritvrdzuje.Ellenin ľúbostný život sa tak nečakane zvrtne. Aké hranice je schopná prekročiť, aby dosiahla svoje?Z anglického originálu The Hynotist’s Love Story (Penguin Books, London 2012) preložila Tamara Chovanová.Ukážka z textuKľačal na kolene a druhú nohu mal pred sebou. Na dlani mu ležala čierna zamatová škatuľka.Bože dobrý na nebesiach, on ju ide požiadať o ruku! Kľačí na kolene, ako sa patrí, a v tej škatuľke má prsteň. To je úžasné!A pritom zvláštne bolestné.Kútikom oka zachytila čosi za ním. Slabý pohyb. Na vyhliadke ktosi stál a fotil si západ slnka. „Ellen,“ ozval sa Patrick znova a odkašľal si. „Počuj, cítim sa fakt hlúpo. A čosi ma tlačí na kolene. Vo filmoch to vyzerá oveľa jednoduchšie.“Ellen sa zasmiala a trasúcimi sa rukami odložila pohár so šampanským. Potláčala slzy a zmocnili sa jej rozpaky, no zároveň sa cítila polichotená. Muž ma žiada o ruku pri západe slnka.Videla, ako sa žena s fotoaparátom obrátila tvárou k nim. Usmievala sa. „Ellen, chceš sa... teda, mohla by si... ehm, urobíš mi tú česť a... vydáš sa za mňa?“ „Najprv ti musím povedať dve veci,“ odvetila Ellen. Prekvapilo ju, ako jasne znie jej hlas. „Okej.“ Patrick okamžite spustil ruku so zamatovou škatuľkou a takmer stratil rovnováhu. V poslednej chvíli sa zachytil piknikového stolíka. „Hmm, mám vstať?“ „Som tehotná,“ oznámila Ellen a odmlčala sa. „Okrem toho som si istá, že tamtá žena je Saskia a prichádza k nám.“
