During the summer of 1997, the year of the comet, four people reach a turning point: Alice Valentine, who lies gravely ill in her West Country home; her younger son, still searching for a sense of direction; his brother, fighting to keep his acting career and marriage afloat; and László Lázár, who leads a charmed life of exile in Paris yet is plagued by his memories of the 1956 Hungarian uprising. For each the time has come to assess what matters in life, to grapple with sex, love, morality and destiny.

The road to nab end

Spisovatel: Woodruff William, Abacus 2002
Katalogové číslo: L5080

A bestseller in England and celebrated as one of the great memoirs in many years, The Road to Nab End is a marvelously evocative account of growing up poor in a British mill town. From William Woodruff's birth in 1916 (in the carding room of a cotton mill) until he ran away to London at the age of sixteen, he lived in the heart of Blackburn's weaving community in the north of England. But after Lancashire's supremacy in cotton textiles ended with the crash of 1920, his father was thrown out of work. From then on, Billy and his family faced a life blighted by extreme poverty... v angličtine, brožovaná, 407 strán, na predsádkach žlté bodky

The Unfortunates

Spisovatel: Graham Laurie, Fourth Estate 2002
Katalogové číslo: G5010

Poppy Minkel is the daisy fresh, naively witty star of Laurie Graham's The Unfortunates. Poppy is a mustard heiress with crinkle-cut hair, sticky-out ears and a nutty Jewish family. When Pa goes down with the Titanic, Ma decides Poppy was destined to be the companion of her old age. Instead Thoroughly Modern Poppy, blessed with 'savoir faire and unusual beauty' sashays into 1920s New York in search of generation-defining moments.In a series of flashbulb-bright adventures Ms. Minkel acquires two husbands, two children, and a variety of breathless accomplishments--designer, aviatrix, gallerista. Poppy Minkel is determined to live up to her mantra: 'I'm modern and fun-loving and rich.' It's not all ditzy fun though, Poppy may glide along the surface of things admirably, but Laurie Graham's deft prose gets to the heart of things. The loss, grief, ignorance, and emotional vulnerbality that surround the events of the Second World War play in devasating counterpoint to Poppy's self-centred aplomb. Her breezy resilence allows her to deal with a drunken, violent first husband, with his haikus and his "glancing blows" and pretty much ignore anything else of consequence. It's only towards the end of the novel when faced with family tragedy that her regret slips in and "placed the heaviest weight around my heart". The Unfortunates is deliciously Nancy Mitford,--glinting with irony, sadness and humour.... brožovaná,v angličtine,väčší formát,370 strán

In recent years the importance of breast-feeding as a basis for healthy child growth and development has become increasingly recognized. As scientific evidence accumulates on the unique nutritional and immunological properties of breast-milk, as well as on the effects of breast-feeding on reproductive function and mother-child bonding, concern in increasing about the possible effects of a decline in breast-feeding on the well-being of children, especially in the Third World... v angličtine, brožovaná, 211 strán
