Searching for Schindler

PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
«The extraordinary tale of Oskar Schindler, the Aryan who saved hundreds of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, is now legendary, but as Tom Keneally reveals in this absorbing memoir, luck and the dogged persistence of one of 'Schindler's Jews' were vital in bringing it to the world's attention through his Booker Prize-winning novel, «Schindler's Ark» and the subsequent film, «Schindler's List». Entertaining, inspiring and filled with anecdotes about the many people involved, from the survivors Keneally interviewed to Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson, Searching for Schindler gives a revealing insight into a writer's mind and the creation of a modern classic. It also traces what happened in the decades after the war to Schindler, his wife, and the people they rescued – including Leopold Pfefferberg, who made it his mission to repay his priceless debt to Schindler. Above all, it sheds renewed light on a fascinatingly flawed man, and an instance of exceptional humanity amid the greatest inhumanity mankind has known.»

PDF, 3.36 МБ

«Every expectant parent will tell you that they don't want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, too, if they'd been given the choice. Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of «luckier» parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs. What if their child had been born healthy? But it's all worth it because Willow is, well, funny as it seems, perfect. She's smart as a whip, on her way to being as pretty as her mother, kind, brave, and for a five-year-old an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. Willow is Willow, in sickness and in health. Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and her husband to confront the most serious what-ifs of all. What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willow's illness? What if things could have been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? To do Willow justice, Charlotte must ask herself these questions and one more. What constitutes a valuable life? Emotionally riveting and profoundly moving, Handle with Care brings us into the heart of a family bound by an incredible burden, a desperate will to keep their ties from breaking, and, ultimately, a powerful capacity for love. Written with the grace and wisdom she's become famous for, beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult offers us an unforgettable novel about the fragility of life and the lengths we will go to protect it.»

An appendix provides a matrix for readers to complete with details of the new tax rates following each Finance Act, together with details of where this information can be sourced. It also provides links to other available information — building on free information available online, particularly from HM Revenue and Customs, there will be frequent Internet links to help the reader navigate the wealth of tax information available. New material covered in this second edition includes: — The abolition of the 10p rate of tax from 6 April 2008 and the new 10% rate for some savings income. — Changes in the corporation tax rates. — Significant reforms to the capital gains tax regime including the abolition of taper relief and indexation allowance. — The new entrepreneurs’ relief — of great significance to small businesses people. — The new style, simplified income tax return; new filing dates for returns; fines.

«The name of every Parisian metro station tells a story. In «Metrostop Paris» Gregor Dallas recounts a series of extraordinary but true tales about the city as he leads his readers around the metro. Both the armchair traveller and the visitor will enjoy an illuminating journey in the company of a compelling storyteller and veteran of the city. The book includes visits to Paris catacombs at Hells Gate, the literary cafs and old jazz cellars of Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prs and the seventeenth-century alleys of the Marais, along with trips to the Palais-Royal at the time of the Revolution and the world of opera during Claude Debussy's lifetime. Through the eyes of the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, Dallas describes the German occupation of Paris during the Second World War and the intellectual wars that immediately followed. A visit to the futuristic Cit de la Science at La Villette prompts the story of the Marquis de Mors, the French cowboy and anti-Semite, who was eventually murdered by tribesmen of the Sahara Desert in 1896. Outside, the Jesuit church of Saint-Paul Dallas tells us about Gabriel de Montgomery forgotten ancestor of Montgomery of Alamein who accidentally killed his king just there and, after leading the Protestant armies against Catherine de Medicis, was executed on the Place de Grve. This exciting journey through time and space concludes at the Cemetery Pre Lachaise with the unknown tale of Oscar Wildes strange involvement in the Dreyfus Affair, the greatest legal scandal of all time.»

The Secret Life of Words: How English Became English

«Communication is essential to our lives, but how often do we stop to think about where the words we use have come from? Have you ever thought about which words in English have been borrowed from Arabic, French or Dutch? Try admiral, landscape and marmalade just for starters. «The Secret Life of Words» is a wide-ranging account not only of the history of English, but also of how words witness history, reflect social change and remind us of our turbulent past. Henry Hitchings delves into our promiscuous language and reveals how and why it has absorbed words from more than 350 other languages many originating from the most unlikely of places, such as shampoo from Hindi and kiosk from Turkish. From the Norman Conquest to the present day, Hitchings narrates the story of English as an archive of our human experience and uncovers the secrets behind everyday words. This is a celebration of our language; after reading it, you will never again take the words we use for granted.»

Virgile's Vineyard: A Year in the Languedoc Wine Country
|
Hodder and Stoughton
|
Автор: Patrick Moon
Издательство: Hodder&Stoughton, 2004

PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ
|
During his year of exploration, Patrick meets a rich cast of characters. Among them is a young local wine-maker called Virgile, who offers to initiate Patrick into the mysteries of each season's work in the fields and in the cellar. Virgile is passionately committed to perfection, though he operates on a shoestring. At the other extreme is Manu, Patrick's dipsomaniac neighbour, a die-hard traditionalist producing a private wine lake of unspeakable rouge. With Manu as his self-appointed guide, Patrick embarks on a tour of the region's wine makers, a succession of lively encounters with growers as varied as the wines themselves. Interwoven are digressions into the history of the region and its wine-making, right back to the earliest plantings by the Greeks and Romans. Meanwhile, the author struggles to deal with his dilapidated inheritance – an unfamiliar and unpredictable world where the brambles have grown as tall as the olive trees, the water supply has just dried up and there is a ferocious animal under the roof tiles.

Leningrad: State of Siege
|
Hodder and Stoughton
|
Автор: Michael Jones
Издательство: Hodder&Stoughton, 2009
|
DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ
|
When the German High Command encircled Leningrad it was a deliberate policy to eradicate the city`s civilian population by starving them to death. As winter set in and food supplies dwindled, starvation and panic set in. A specialist in battle psychology and the vital role of morale in desperate circumstances, Michael Jones tells the human story of Leningrad. Drawing on newly available eyewitness accounts and diaries, he shows Leningrad in its every dimension including taboo truths, long-suppressed by the Soviets, such as looting, criminal gangs and cannibalism. But, for many ordinary citizens, Leningrad marked the triumph of the human spirit. They drew deeply on their inner resources to inspire, comfort and help one another. At the height of the siege an extraordinary live performance of Shostakovich`s Seventh Symphony profoundly strengthened the city`s will to resist. When German troops heard it in their trenches one remarked: `We began to understand we would never take Leningrad`. Yet, Leningrad`s self-defence came at a huge price. When the 900-day siege ended in 1944 almost a million people had died and those who survived would be permanently marked by what they had endured, as this superbly insightful and moving history shows.
