Love Letters of Great Men and Women (B)
Ursula Doyle (Ed.) 273 ₪Together for the first time in one volume: the bestselling Love Letters of Great Men and Love Letters of Great Women
From the private papers of Jane Austen and Mozart to those of Anne Boleyn and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men and Women collects together some of the most romantic letters in history.
For some of these great men, love is a ‘delicious poison’ (William Congreve); for others, ‘a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music’ (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one’s heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). But what about the other side of the story? What of the secret hopes and lives of some of the greatest women in history?
Taken together, these love letters show that perhaps little has changed over the last 2,000 years. Passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here — as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.
Includes letters by:
Anne Boleyn, Beethoven, Edith Wharton, Mark Twain, Mary Wordsworth, Nell Gwyn (mistress of Charles II), Elizabeth Barrett Browning, G.K. Chesterton, Queen Victoria, Napoleon Bonaparte, The Empress Josephine, Mary Wollstonecraft, Amadeus Mozart, Katherine Mansfield.
Praise for Love Letters of Great Men:
‘The most romantic book ever’ Daily Mail
‘Inspired by the Sex and the City movie… Famous men caught with pen in hand and heart in mouth’ The Times -

Crying in H Mart (Michelle Zauner) Плача в супермаркете (Мишель Заунер) /Книги на английском языке
Zauner Michelle 390 ₪Crying in H Mart (Michelle Zauner)In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the east coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, performing gigs with her fledgling band – and meeting the man who would become her husband – her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live.Плача в супермаркете (Мишель Заунер)В этой изысканной истории о семье, еде, горе и выносливости Мишель Заунер проявляет себя гораздо больше, чем просто блестящая певица, автор песен и гитаристка. С юмором и сердцем она рассказывает о том, как росла единственным американцем азиатского происхождения в своей школе в Юджине, штат Орегон; борьбы с особыми, высокими ожиданиями ее матери к ней; о болезненном подростковом возрасте; драгоценных месяцев, проведенных в крохотной квартирке ее бабушки в Сеуле, где они с матерью поздно вечером общались за горами тарелок с едой. Когда она выросла, переехала на восточное побережье, чтобы поступить в колледж, нашла работу в ресторанном бизнесе, давала концерты со своей молодой группой – и встретила мужчину, который стал ее мужем – ее корейское происхождение начало ощущаться все более далеким, даже когда она обрела жизнь, о которой она так мечтала.

Follett Ken 518 ₪A time of conflictIt is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages, and England faces attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is hard, and those with power wield it harshly, bending justice according to their will — often in conflict with the king. With his grip on the country fragile and with no clear rule of law, chaos and bloodshed reign.Three lives intertwinedInto this uncertain world three people come to the fore: a young boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a devastating Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he loves hoped for; a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved husband across the sea to a new land only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey, who dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.The dawn of a new ageNow, with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, death and birth, and love and hate.Thirty years ago we were introduced to Kingsbridge in The Pillars of the Earth, and now in this masterful prequel international bestseller Ken Follett will take us on a journey into a rich past, which will end where his masterpiece begins.

White Noise (Don DeLillo) Белый шум (Дон Делилло) /Книги на английском языке

The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn’t they paralyze us?Jack Gladney is the creator and chairman of Hitler studies at the College-on-the-Hill.

It captures the particular strangeness of life lived when the fear of death cannot be denied, repressed or obscured and ponders the role of the family in a time when the very meaning of our existence is under threat.

History of England vol.2: Tudors
Ackroyd Peter 464 ₪The second volume of Peter Ackroyd’s masterful history of England: the TudorsRich in detail and atmosphere and told in vivid prose, Tudors recounts the transformation of England from a settled Catholic country to a Protestant superpower. It is the story of Henry VIII’s cataclysmic break with Rome, and his relentless pursuit of both the perfect wife and the perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under ‘Bloody Mary’. It tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though marked by civil strife, plots against the queen and even an invasion force, finally brought stability.Above all, however, it is the story of the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican Church. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, England was still largely feudal and looked to Rome for direction; at its end, it was a country where good governance was the duty of the state, not the church, and where men and women began to look to themselves for answers rather than to those who ruled them.
