V roce 1979 se Daňa Horáková stala třetí, poslední, manželkou režiséra a scénáristy Pavla Juráčka (1935–1989). Ve stejném roce byli vzhledem ke svým politickým postojům nuceni se v rámci akce Státní bezpečnosti „Asanace“ vystěhovat do Západního Německa. Autorka v knize popisuje jejich seznámení, svatbu a následný společný život nejprve v Čechách a později v Německu bez příkras, a byť i jen malé trošky autocenzury. Poznáváme tu patologický vztah dvou intelektuálů, kteří nemohli žít spolu, ale ani bez sebe. Vyprávění stejně spalující jako příběh Viktorky a Černého myslivce.

Growing up on Ile St Louis in Paris, Cecile Widerman and her siblings felt their childhood was blessed with afternoons of creativity and summers of sunshine on the beaches of Normandy.

"Ich hatte einen herrlichen Monat - ich habe ein Häuschen gebaut und ein Buch diktiert: 200 Ziegelsteine und 2000 Wörter am Tag", erzählte Churchill Stanley Baldwin über seine Parlamentsferien 1928. Entstanden ist ein Buch, in dem die Erzählfreude des Autors auf jeder Seite spürbar ist: Churchills Erinnerungen an seine ersten dreißig Lebensjahre, geschrieben aus einer "jeweils meinem Lebensalter angemessenen Sichtweise". Tatsächlich schönt Churchill nichts - weder seine miserablen Leistungen in der Schule noch seine peinliche Kriegsbegeisterung an der Militärakademie.

"Oft taten wir nichts anderes als schauen. Zu schauen gab es immer etwas." Während der "Optionszeit" verließen viele Südtiroler Familien ihre Heimat, um in eigens errichteten Wohneinheiten in Österreich und Deutschland ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Margit Weiß wuchs in den Sechziger- und Siebzigerjahren in einer solchen Südtirolersiedlung auf. Mit den Augen eines Kindes betrachtet sie den damaligen Alltag und die illustren Persönlichkeiten in der Siedlung: Da gibt es den blumenpflückenden Herrn Maier, die Fani-Tant mit ihren Liebschaften oder den geliebten Großvater Carlo.

Carter B. Forbes was born in Texas in 1905 and said, "I don’t remember a thing about it, and if I had, my mother would have been the most embarrassed woman in twenty-seven counties." And the stories go on from there.

ABOUT CHESTERTON AND BELLOC: It has been one of the less possible dreams of my life to be a painted Pagan God and live upon a ceiling. I crown myself becomingly in stars or tendrils or with electric coruscations (as the mood takes me), and wear an easy costume free from complications and appropriate to the climate of those agreeable spaces.

Rodrigo de Borja est devenu le pape Alexandre VI en 1492. Père de César et de Lucrèce, il a inspiré Machiavel lors de l'écriture du Prince. La famille Borgia, telle une hydre à trois têtes, a intrigué contre les puissantes familles de la Renaissance : les Sforza, les Visconti, les Orsini... Dans cette biographie, Jean-Yves Boriaud déroule le fil de cette histoire familiale, qui s'entremêle avec la création d'un état pontifical, parmi les princes renaissants de l'Italie troublée du nord.

Few people are deemed smart enough to be selected and trained as a spy for Her Majesty’s Government, and fewer qualify. The author is one such man, who was uniquely chosen at the age of 16, the only person still to pass selection without an education through the university system. Carefully written to avoid revealing government secrets, this is his personal story, thrilling, surprising, and an eye opener into the life of A Philippine Spy.

Born one hundred years ago, Betty Webb MBE, LOH (Legion of Honour) has had a ringside seat to history. After graduating from school, she faced the usual limited opportunities for employment on offer to women at the time. However, with the war in full swing, fate intervened and in 1941, wanting to play her part in the war effort, Betty joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (Women’s Army).

Was steckt hinter den Führungspersönlichkeiten von Lincoln, Gandhi, Mandela, Einstein und Gates? Noch besser: Wie können Sie genauso erfolgreich werden wie die oben genannten Leader? "Ein Anführer ist am besten, wenn die Leute kaum wissen, dass es ihn gibt, wenn seine Arbeit getan, sein Ziel erreicht ist, werden sie sagen: Wir haben es selbst getan." - Lao Tzu. Die Art und Weise, wie Sie über Führung denken, bildet die Grundlage für Ihre Motivation.

Published some thirty years ago, Robert Manson Myers's Children of Pride won the National Book Award in history and went on to become a classic reference on America's slaveholding South. That book presented the letters of the prominent Presbyterian minister and plantation patriarch Charles Colcock Jones. While extensive, these letters can provide only one part of the story of the Jones family plantations in Georgia. In this remarkable book, religious historian Erskine Clarke completes the story, offering a narrative history of four generations of the plantations' inhabitants.

One of the most famous queens in history, Mary Stuart lived in her homeland for just twelve years: as a dauntless child who laughed at her friends' seasickness as they sailed to safety in France and later, on her return as an eighteen-year-old widow to take control of a nation riven with factions, dissent, and religious strife. Brief though her in time Scotland was, her experience profoundly influenced who she was and what happened to her.

The scandalous image of the Empress Messalina as a ruthless and sexually insatiable schemer, derived from the work of Roman historians such as Tacitus and Suetonius, has taken deep root in the Western imagination. The stories they told about her included nightly visits to a brothel and a twenty-four-hour sex competition with a prostitute. Tales like these have defined the empress's legacy, but her real story is much more complex. In her new life of Messalina, the classicist Honor Cargill-Martin reappraises one of the most slandered and underestimated female figures of ancient history.
