We are here to remember what happened and to declare solemnly that ‘they’ must never do it again. But who are ‘they’?How to Spot a Fascist is a selection of three thought-provoking essays on freedom and fascism, censorship and tolerance — including Eco’s iconic essay ‘Ur-Fascism’, which lists the fourteen essential characteristics of fascism, and draws on his own personal experiences growing up in the shadow of Mussolini.Umberto Eco remains one of the greatest writers and cultural commentators of the last century. In these pertinent pieces, he warns against prejudice and abuses of power and proves a wise and insightful guide for our times.If we strive to learn from our collective history and come together in challenging times, we can hope for a peaceful and tolerant future.

From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.Written with Stanley’s signature wry humour and nostalgia, Taste is a heartwarming read that will be irresistible for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

The inspirational sequel to 12 rules for life, which has sold over 5 million copies around the world — now in paperbackIn 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world.Now in this long-awaited sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life’s meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality. Beyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality — order and chaos ­- and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw: insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity’s greatest myths and stories. Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.

В книге, написанной крупным специалистом по средневековой Бургундии, кандидатом исторических наук А. В. Куркиным, читатель встретится с наиболее узнаваемыми символами рыцарства – благородными турнирными схватками, разноцветной финифтью старинных гербов, битвами стальных латников, роскошными церемониями орденских капитулов, куртуазными банкетами, красочными процессиями и драматичными походами последних крестоносцев. Эта книга, как сказал бы средневековый хронист Матье д’Эскуши, «о благородных деяниях, победах, доблестных поступках и воинских подвигах». Яркий и доступный язык книги сопровождает богатый иллюстративный ряд: изящные миниатюры старинных фолиантов, роскошные шпалеры, драгоценные реликвии, вытканные золотом плащи герольдов и полотнища штандартов, полированные рыцарские доспехи, утонченная фламандская живопись, портреты знаменитых героев и карты их военных экспедиций… Эта книга не оставит равнодушным как эксперта по эпохе, так и любого, кто интересуется историей Средневековья. В том числе – современного реконструктора, воссоздающего турнирную культуру. Ему, специалисту по средневековому военному делу и быту, в книге также нашлось достойное место.Основываясь на анализе многочисленных источников, автор буквально распахивает перед читателем потрясающий мир западноевропейского рыцарства, по-новому раскрывая этот культурный феномен. И, возможно, под разящими ударами неопровержимых фактов, читатель избавится от многочисленных мифов и стереотипов, сопровождавших легенду о прекрасных воинах на белоснежных конях.Блистательный герцог Бургундии Филипп Добрый, его воинственный сын Карл Смелый, непобедимый «добрый рыцарь» Жак де Лален, герольдмейстер ордена Золотого руна Жан Лефевр, опытный и талантливый полководец Ангерран де Бурнонвиль, храбрый и честный солдат Жан д’Энен, писатель, придворный и капитан гвардии Оливье да Ла Марш… Главный герой книги – многоликое бургундское рыцарство. Без прикрас, такое, каким оно обрушилось на автора с обветшавших страниц старинных хроник.
