ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The hilarious tale of one podgy boy's dreams on the outside edge of a cricketing life from 'one of Britain's funniest writers' (Daily Mail)
A fat boy with a passion for sweets and a loathing for games, the young Michael Simkins finds in cricket a sport where size doesn't necessarily matter and a full-blown obsession is born. Now in middle-age, he still harbours the somewhat deluded belief that the England middle-order might usefully benefit from his hard-earned skills. From impromptu Test series played with his dad in the family sweetshop through to his years running a team of dysfunctional inadequates, Fatty Batter is the bestselling and hilarious story of one man's life lived through cricket.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The remarkable First World War diary of Private Harry Drinkwater, published for the first time
‘I saw several fellows fall, one fellow coughing up blood and all the time, bullets were hacking about me. I ran for about 70 yards carrying with me all the Lewis gun things I had brought up and dropped breathless into a shell hole headlong onto a German who had been dead for months.’
Harold Drinkwater was not supposed to go to war. He was told he was half an inch too short. But, determined to fight for king and country, he found a battalion that would take him and was soon on his way to the trenches of the Somme. As the war dragged on, Harry saw most of the men he joined up with killed around him. But, somehow, he survived.
Soldiers were forbidden from keeping a diary so Harry wrote his in secret, recording the horrendous conditions and constant fear, as well as his pleasure at receiving his officer's commission, the joy of his men when they escaped the trenches for the I ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Shortlisted for the Whitbread biography award 2003
'Definitive' Daily Telegraph
Orwell has become one of the most potent and symbolic figures in western political thought. Even the adjective 'Orwellian' is now a byword for a particular way of thinking about life, literature and language yet, despite this iconic status, the man who was born Eric Blair in 1903 remains an enigma.
Drawing on a mass of previously unseen material, D J Taylor offers a strikingly human portrait of the writer too often embalmed as a secular saint. Here is a man who, for all his outward unworldliness, effectively stage-managed his own life; who combined chilling detachment with warmth and gentleness, disillusionment with hope; who battled through illness to produce two of the greatest masterpieces of the twentieth century.
Moving and revealing, Taylor's Orwell is the biography we have all been waiting for, as vibrant, powerful and resonant as its extraordinary hero.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The revealing autobiography from Sugar Ray Leonard, one of boxing's greatest fighters
'To be legendary you got to have heart... Ray's heart was bigger than all the rest' Muhammad Ali
Sugar Ray Leonard was one of the greatest boxers ever. An artist and a showman he was always willing to take the difficult fight: his gruelling encounters with Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler have become legendary.
Ray's autobiography takes you into the ring - with the mind games, brutality and euphroia. But, outside of the ring, Ray's biggest opponent was himself. From early domestic violence and sexual abuse to a blur of fame, sex, greed, drink and drug addiction at the height of his career that cost him so much, The Big Fight is a remarkable portrait of the rise, fall and final redeption of a true fighter in every

The Beckoning Silence (Vintage books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Joe Simpson has experienced a life filled with adventure but marred by death. He has endured the painful attrition of climbing friends in accidents, calling into question the perilously exhilarating activity to which he has devoted his life. Probability is inexorably closing in. The tragic loss of a close friend forces a momentous decision upon him. It is time to turn his back on the mountains that he has loved. Never more alive than when most at risk, he has come to see a last climb on the hooded, mile-high North Face of the Eiger as the cathartic finale.
In a narrative which takes the reader through extreme experiences, from an avalanche in Bolivia, ice-climbing in the Alps and Colorado and paragliding in Spain - before his final confrontation with the Eiger - Simpson reveals the inner truth of climbing, exploring both the power of the mind and the frailties of the body. The subject of his new book is the siren song of fear and his struggle to come to terms with it.

Eddy Merckx. The Cannibal (Ebury Press)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The first definitive story of the greatest cyclist of all time
'The whole point of a race is to find a winner... I chose to race, so I chose to win.'
For 14 years between 1965 and 1978, cyclist Edouard Louis Joseph Merckx simply devoured his rivals, their hopes and their careers. His legacy resides as much in the careers he ruined as the 445 victories - including five Tour de France wins and all the monument races - he amassed in his own right. So dominant had Merckx become by 1973 that he was ordered to stay away from the Tour for the good of the event.
Stage 17 of the 1969 Tour de France perfectly illustrates his untouchable brilliance. Already wearing the yellow jersey on the col du Tourmalet, the Tour's most famous peak, Merckx powered clear and rode the last 140 kilometres to the finish-line in jaw-dropping solitude, eight minutes ahead of his nearest competitor.
Merckx's era has been called cycling's Golden Age.It was full of m ...

The Hemlock Cup. Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life (Vintage books)

|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did. His aphorism 'The unexamined life is not worth living' may have originated twenty-five centuries ago, but it is a founding principle of modern life. For seventy years Socrates was a vigorous citizen of Golden Age Athens, philosophising in the squares and public arenas rather than in the courts of kings, before his beloved city turned on him, condemning him to death by poison.
Socrates lived in and contributed to a city that nurtured key ingredients of contemporary civilisation - democracy, liberty, science, drama, rational thought - yet, as he wrote almost nothing down, he himself is an enigmatic figure. In The Hemlock Cup, acclaimed historian Bettany Hughes gives Socrates the biography he deserves, painstakingly piecing together Socrates' life and using fresh evidence to get closer to the man who asked 'how should we live?' - a question as relevant now as it has ever been.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Автор этой книги отдал более 50 лет своей жизни служению науке. Приступая к написанию книги, он поставил перед собой три задачи: поделиться кодексом жизненных правил, которые он перенял от своих замечательных учителей и которые помогли ему достичь серьезных успехов в научной деятельности; рассказать о людях - ученых и производственниках, с которыми свела его жизнь и которые стояли у руля мировой нефтехимии XX века; показать творческую атмосферу, существовавшую в научных коллективах в 60-80-х годах прошлого века.
По его мнению, эти знания должны помочь молодым ученым быстрее "встать на крыло". Насколько хорошо это получилось у автора, решать вам, дорогие читатели.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Marguerite Penrose's is an extraordinary story of making a great life from complicated beginnings. Marguerite was born in a Dublin mother-and-baby home in 1974, the daughter of an Irish mother and a Zambian father. Severe scoliosis indicated a future of difficult medical procedures. She was a little girl who needed a break. And she got it at three when she was fostered - and later adopted - by a young couple, Mick and Noeline, and acquired a mam, dad, sister, Ciara, and loving extended family.
Growing up, Marguerite's appearance was occasionally remarked on by strangers, but it wasn't until her teens that she understood that her skin colour was a provocation for some. The progressive city that she knew was revealed to have an unpleasant undercurrent. So, she became an expert in shaping her life around anything that marked her out as 'different'.
Marguerite's story is one of facing some big questions - Who am I? How do I live in world made for people with ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Push until it hurts, then push some more
Even by the standards of a sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering, Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular personalities in cycling.
Jens was born near Hamburg, and came up through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got into the national team through the German army, before signing for his first big team. In many ways he is cycling’s anti-star; despite arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than any other rider he has only worn the yellow jersey twice as his efforts have always been in the service of others.
Jens embodies the best of cycling’s qualities – loyalty to his team, sacrifice, and devotion to the sport. He says, ‘I’m not a head person, I’m more of a heart and guts guy. That’s how I race.’ Shut Up Legs is a funny, ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Marcus Aurelius is the one great figure of antiquity who still speaks to us today, nearly 2,000 years after his death. A philosopher as well as an emperor, his was an extraordinary reign. He proved himself a great leader, protecting the Empire from Germans in the North and fighting the Parthians in the East, and his Meditations - compared by John Stuart Mill to the Sermon on the Mount - remains one of the most widely-read Classical books. Impeccably researched and vividly told, Frank McLynn's Marcus Aurelius is the definitive biography of a monumental historical figure.

Опыт автобиографии. Открытия и заключения одного вполне заурядного ума (начиная с 1866 года) (Ладомир)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2968.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Приступая к написанию воспоминаний, автор и не подозревал, какое место в его творчестве они займут. Поначалу мемуары составили два тома. Со временем к ним добавился еще одни, "Влюбленный Уэллс", - об отношениях с женщинами. В результате "Опыт" оказался одной из самых читаемых книг Уэллса, соперничая в популярности с его лучшими фантастическими романами.
В книге содержатся размышления не только над вопросами литературы. Маститый писатель предстает перед нами как социолог, философ, биолог, историк, но главное - как великая личность, великая даже в своих слабостях и недостатках. Горечь некоторых воспоминаний не "вытравляет" их мудрости и человечности.
"Опыт автобиографии" - один из важнейших литературных документов ХХ века.
На русском языке публикуется впервые.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Л. Н. Толстой не раз говорил, что его переписка с А. А. Толстой, его двоюродной теткой, важна "для тех, кому может быть интересна" его личность. События яснополянской жизни семьи, потрясения, горести и радости, увлечения школой, работа "на голоде", размышления о судьбе России, непримиримые религиозные споры, литературные замыслы – всё вобрала эта почти полувековая переписка. Изданная впервые в 1911 г., книга писем Л. Н. Толстого и А. А. Толстой получила высокую оценку современников, называвших ее "откровеннейшим и чистейшим свидетельством духовного общения", а сам Толстой считал ее своей лучшей автобиографией. В основной раздел нового издания вошло 264 письма: 135 писем Л. Н. Толстого (из них 16 не входили в первое издание) и 129 писем А. А. Толстой (61 письмо публикуется впервые). В раздел "Дополнения" включена ранее не публиковавшаяся переписка А. А. Толстой с С. А. Толстой, женой писателя, и другими членами семьи Толстого. Открывают издание "Мои воспоминания

Desperately Seeking Van Gogh (Gingko)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2994.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Desperately Seeking Van Gogh adopts a very refreshing new way of looking at the life of this most brilliant of artists: by following in his footsteps around all the locations which meant the most to him and which most influenced his work.
We capture the mood of bourgeois respectability of his mother's family in The Hague, the fields and dyke banks of the sleepy provincial town of Zundert on the Dutch/Belgian border where he grew up, to the boarding schools which he hated. We go with Vincent to The Hague where he was an apprentice art dealer, to his time in England and his dreams of maybe escaping to South America, Brussels, Antwerp, Paris and then to all the detailed locations in Provence, and many more.
Every spread features great imagery - both photographic and of Vincent's works - and a fascinating commentary. For any enthusiast or art history student of Vincent, this title is a must. For anyone new to his work, it is a very accessible, friendly and insightful way to look at his life.
