For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant. But on paper the real Jeremy remains at the helm. So, whether he's pondering — If Jesus might have been better off being born in New Zealand Why reflexive pronoun abuse is the worst thing in the world How Pam Ayres' head trumps Gordon Gecko's underpants Or what a television presenter with time on his hands gets up to... Jeremy is still trying to make sense of the big stuff.

Black-Eyed Susans
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Heaberlin Julia
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2016
|
PDF, 400 страниц, 12.00 МБ
|
Now selected for Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club September 2015. This is a chilling new thriller that gets into the heart and mind of the killer, and the victim... Seventeen-year-old Tessa, dubbed a 'Black-Eyed Susan' by the media, became famous for being the only victim to survive the vicious attack of a serial killer. Her testimony helped to put a dangerous criminal behind bars — or so she thought. Now, decades later the black-eyed susans planted outside Tessa's bedroom window seem to be a message from a killer who should be safely in prison. Haunted by fragmented memories of the night she was attacked and terrified for her own teenage daughter's safety, can Tessa uncover the truth about the killer before it's too late? Praise for Black-Eyed Susans: It's a terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension. (The Times Book of the Month). Black Eyed Susans is a compelling read, especially for Serial fans. (Cosmopolitan). Creepy and compelling, Black-Eyed Susans is a shadowy and crooked journey to a very dark place indeed, a twisty fairytale that deceives you just when you think you've cracked it and a thriller to make you remember why you love thrillers. Don't miss it. (Observer, Thriller of the Month). One of the classiest thrillers you'll read this year. (Charlotte Heathcote of Daily Express and Sunday Express). Mesmerising... In a crowded field, Heaberlin is something special, and clearly an author to whom close attention must be paid. (Barry Forshaw, Crime Time). About as good an example of Grip Lit as you could read. (Sunday Independent). Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings. (Woman and Home). We can't remember the last time a thriller burrowed under our skin like this. Sparkling characters, authentic emotion, and an unpredictable plot makes this a terrific read from start to end. (iBooks, Books of the Month). The assured telling of this chiller combines to create a very modern Gothic horror that will keep you up way past your bedtime. (Sunday Mirror). A sophisticated take on the serial killer novel. (Good Housekeeping). A masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early novels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn's Gone Girl and now Heaberlin's Black-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it. (Washington Post). A fascinating, twisted book. (Koethi Zan, author of Richard and Judy-selected The Never List). This is a deftly organised, impeccably paced psychological suspense thriller that nods to Daphne du Maurier and, like all Heaberlin's fiction, boasts purr-inducing prose. (Sunday Times, Culture Magazine).

English Humour for Beginners
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Mikes George
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2005
|
PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ
|
If you want to succeed here you must be able to handle the English sense of humour. So proclaims George Mikes' timeless exploration of this curious phenomenon. Whether it's understatement, self-deprecation or plain cruelty, the three elements he identifies as essential to our sense of humour, being witty here is a way of life. Perfectly placed as an adopted Englishman himself, Mikes delivers his shrewd advice — helpfully divided into 'Theory' and 'Practice' — with a comic precision that does his chosen country proud. Drawing on a trove of examples from our rich comic canon, from Orwell (Every joke is a tiny revolution) to Oscar Wilde, this is the essential handbook for natives and foreigners alike. Mrs Kennedy: I don't think, Mr Churchill, that I have told you anything about my grandchildren. Winston Churchill: For which, madam, I am infinitely grateful.

In Montmartre: Picasso, Matisse and Modernism in Paris, 1900-1910
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Roe Sue
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2014
|
PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ
|
When young Pablo Picasso arrived in Paris in October 1900 he made his way up the hillside of Montmartre... The real revolution in the arts first took place not, as is commonly supposed, in the 1920s to the accompaniment of the Charleston, black jazz and mint juleps but more quietly and intimately, in the shadow of the windmills — artificial and real — and in the cafes and cabarets of Montmartre during the first decade of the century. The cross-fertilization of painting, writing, music and dance produced a panorama of activity characterized by the early works of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Modigliani, the appearance of the Ballet Russe and the salons of Gertrude Stein. In In Montmartre, Sue Roe vividly brings to life the bohemian world of art in Paris between 1900-1910.

Nairn's London
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Nairn Ian
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2014
|
PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ
|
This book is a record of what has moved me between Uxbridge and Dagenham. My hope is that it moves you, too. Nairn's London is an idiosyncratic, poetic and intensely subjective meditation on a city and its buildings. Including railway stations, synagogues, abandoned gasworks, dock cranes, suburban gardens, East End markets, Hawksmoor churches, a Gothic cinema and twenty-seven different pubs, it is a portrait of the soul of a place, from a writer of genius.

Napoleon the Great

Penguin Group

Автор: Roberts Andrew
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2014
|
DOC, 976 страниц, 1.00 МБ
|
It has become all too common for Napoleon Bonaparte's biographers to approach him as a figure to be reviled, bent on world domination, practically a proto-Hitler. Here, after years of study extending even to visits paid to St Helena and 53 of Napoleon's 56 battlefields, Andrew Roberts has created a true portrait of the mind, the life, and the military and above all political genius of a fundamentally constructive ruler. This is the Napoleon, Roberts reminds us, whose peacetime activity produced countless indispensable civic innovations — and whose Napoleonic Code provided the blueprint for civil law systems still in use around the world today. It is one of the greatest lives in world history, which here has found its ideal biographer. The sheer enjoyment which this book will give anyone who loves history is enormous.

Driving Honda: Inside the World's Most Innovative Car Company
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Rothfeder Jeffrey
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2014
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
Driving Honda by Jeffrey Rothfeder takes a revealing look inside the world-beating car maker. Honda Motors has quietly become one of the most successful multinational corporations in history. Since its founding in 1949 with the very first motorcycle, Honda — the world's fifth largest car manufacturer and Japan's second biggest — has abided by three unorthodox principles that value innovation over self-promotion, decentralization over corporate control, and dialectics over certainty. These management tenets have made Honda the model of what a multinational manufacturer should be in a globalized business environment — and point the way forward for others. Toyota may get all the attention (for both the right and wrong reasons, these days), but it's Honda that gets the results. Jeffrey Rothfeder is a veteran, award-winning business journalist. He has written the recent Wall Street Journal bestseller Make or Break and McIlhenny's Gold. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Forbes, Fortune, PC World, and Popular Science, among others.

Goodbye to All That

Penguin Group

Автор: Graves Robert
Издательство: Penguin Group, 1999
|
DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ
|
Robert Graves' superb autobiography tells the story of his life at public school and as a young officer during the First World War. 'It is a permanently valuable work of literary art, and indispensable for the historian either of the First World War or of modern English poetry... Apart, however, from its exceptional value as a war document, this book has also the interest of being one of the most candid self-portraits of a poet, warts and all, ever painted. The sketches of friends of Mr Graves, like T.E. Lawrence, are beautifully vivid' — Times Literary Supplement.

A Wayne in a Manger

PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ

A Wayne in a Manger includes some wonderfully funny and touching nativity play anecdotes, including children forgetting their lines, ad-libbing, falling of the stage, picking their noses and showing their knickers. One hilarious anecdote tells of an innkeeper who generously says there's plenty of room for Mary and Joseph, while another child, jealous of Joseph's starring role, allows Mary to come in but not Joseph, who can 'push off'... There's the baby Jesus who suddenly pipes up with 'My name is Tammy, are you my Mommy?' and funniest of all, Mary who tells Joseph, I'm having a baby — oh and it's not yours.

The Heart of the Dales

Penguin Group

Автор: Phinn Gervase
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2008
|
PDF, 400 страниц, 12.00 МБ

Gervase Phinn is back with his tales of life as a schools inspector in Yorkshire. His colourful cast of characters have now become firm favourites — the mostly mad staff at County Hall as well as the children themselves who find ways of embarrassing the school inspectors with innocent ease. We reconvene with Christine Bentley, head teacher of Winnery Nook School and now Gervase's wife and mother of their son, the well-named Mrs. Savage and not forgetting the Queen of Clean — Connie. Gervase Phinn has an extraordinary talent to entertain, and the latest instalment to the Dale Series is heart-warming, wry and will make you laugh out loud.

The Edifice Complex explores the intimate and inextricable relationship between power, money and architecture in the twentieth century. How and why have presidents, prime ministers, mayors, millionaires and bishops come to share such a fascination with grand designs? From Blair to Mitterrand, from Hitler to Stalin to Saddam Hussein, architecture has become an end in itself, as well as a means to an end. This is a book of genuine timeliness, throwing new light on the motivations of the rich and powerful around the world — and on the ways they seek to affect us.
