|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Данная книга представляет собой воспоминания Самуила Моисеевича Майкапара (1867-1938), одного из крупных фортепианных профессоров Петербургской, а затем Ленинградской консерватории.
Майкапар известен в настоящее время главным образом как создатель многочисленного "детского" репертуара. В то же время С.М. Майкапар был знаком со многими выдающимися музыкантами и сумел описать свои впечатления в книге "Годы учения".
Особенно ценным является то, что в этой имеются яркие портреты не только таких знаменитостей, как София Ментер, Лядов, Антон Рубинштейн или Лешетицкий, но и, к примеру, Саккетти, Зике, Демянский, Соловьев и др.
Книга предназначена студентам средних специальных учебных заведений.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Владимир Юматов - Народный артист России, кандидат философских наук. Актёр театра «Ленком Марка Захарова». «Быстрей и громче» - не пособие по сценической речи. Эта странная фраза всего лишь шутливое напутствие М.Захарова своим актёрам перед театральной премьерой.Автор рассказывает о своём опыте работы и с другими выдающимися мастерами сцены и кино, рассуждает о специфике актёрской профессии, высказывает весьма парадоксальное мнение о специфике современного актёрского образования, делится фактами своей необычной биографии. Книга написана в лёгкой ироничной манере, изобилует подчас забавными фактами и наблюдениями автора.

Everything in Its Place. First Loves and Last Tales (Picador)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1875.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In this spirited volume, Oliver Sacks examines the many passions of his own life - both as a doctor engaged with the central questions of human existence, and as a polymath conversant in all the sciences. Why do humans need gardens? How, and when, does a physician tell his patient she has Alzheimer's? What is social media doing to our brains?
In several of the compassionate case histories collected here, Sacks considers for the first time the enigmas of depression, psychosis, and schizophrenia, and in others he returns to conditions that have long fascinated him: Tourette's syndrome, ageing, dementia, and hallucinations. In counterpoint to these elegant investigations of what makes us human, this volume also includes pieces that celebrate Sacks's love of the natural world - and his last meditations on life in the twenty-first century. Everything in Its Place gives us an intimate portrait of a master writer and thinker at work.

A Nurse's Story. My Life in A&E During the Covid Crisis (Pan Books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Moving, honest and inspiring - this is a nurse's true story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis.
Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself.
In A Nurse's Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This mesmerising cultural history explores the neighbourhoods where [Tokyo's] bells once rang, and captures the essence of a place where time's innate elasticity seems to be woven into the place's very fabric. As our own locked-down days squeeze and elongate, Tokyo time feels strangely familiar.' - Daily Telegraph
For over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture. During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo, later known as Tokyo, relied on its public bells to tell the time. In her remarkable book, Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.
Through Sherman's journeys around the city and her friendship with the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of c ...

Fake Law. The Truth About Justice in an Age of Lies (Picador)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
- Did an illegal immigrant avoid deportation because he had a cat?
- Is the law on the side of the burglar who enters your home?
- Are unelected judges 'enemies of the people'?
Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society.
Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge - worse, we risk letting them make us complicit.
Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds a defence against t ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 2013 Guy Stagg walked from Canterbury to Jerusalem. Though a non-believer, he began the pilgrimage after suffering several years of mental illness, hoping the ritual would heal him. For ten months he hiked alone on ancient paths, crossing ten countries and more than 5,500 kilometres. Travelling without support, he had to rely each night on the charity of strangers.
The Crossway is an account of Stagg's extraordinary journey. It describes the dangers he faced on the road, captures the people he met and the landscapes he experienced, offers a unique insight into contemporary faith, and - most movingly - lays bare his struggle to escape the past and walk towards recovery.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A moving account of one man's race to save a herd of elephants - with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, The Elephant Whisperer is an enthralling book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.
When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'rogue' elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival - dangerous and unpredictable, they would be killed if Anthony wouldn't take them in.
As Anthony risked his life to create a bond with the troubled elephants and persuade them to stay on his reserve, he came to realize what a special family they were, from the wise matriarch Nana, who guided the herd, to her warrior sister Frankie, always ready to see off any threat, and their children who fought so hard to survive.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An anonymous barrister offers a shocking, darkly comic and very moving journey through the legal system - and explains how it's failing all of us.
You may not wish to think about it, but one day you or someone you love will almost certainly appear in a criminal courtroom. You might be a juror, a victim, a witness or - perhaps through no fault of your own - a defendant. Whatever your role, you'd expect a fair trial.
I'm a barrister. I work in the criminal justice system, and every day I see how fairness is not guaranteed. Too often the system fails those it is meant to protect. The innocent are wronged and the guilty allowed to walk free.
In The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It's Broken I want to share some stories from my daily life to show you how the system is broken, who broke it and why we should start caring before it's too late.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
London's most notorious gangsters, in their own words . . .
The Kray twins were Britain's most notorious gangsters. Ruling London's underworld for more than a decade, as gang lords they were among the most powerful and feared men in the city. Photographed by David Bailey and even interviewed for television, they became celebrities in their own right and are infamous to this day.
Ronnie and Reg's reign of terror ended on 8 March 1969 when they were sentenced to life with the recommendation that they serve at least thirty years. Ronnie ended his days in Broadmoor - his raging insanity only controlled by massive doses of drugs. Reg served almost three decades in some of Britain's toughest jails before being released on compassionate grounds in August 2000. He died of cancer eight months later.
Compiled from a series of interviews with Fred Dinenage from behind prison walls, Our Story is the classic account that explodes the myths surrounding the Kra ...
