|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Не будь палачом.
Не будь жертвой.
И ни за что, ни при каких обстоятельствах не стой в стороне.
Этот завет проносит через всю свою жизнь автор книги - когда-то мальчик из еврейской общины в Варшаве; затем - узник концлагеря; свидетель ужасов фашизма; освобожденный; одаренный юноша, робко обретающий признание; всемирно известный врач, гуманист и политик. Его книга - пронзительное воспоминание об утраченном довоенном времени, о нарастающем безумии предвоенных лет, о настигающем ужасе, о преодолении немыслимых несчастий, о борьбе за жизнь и достоинство. и, наконец, об обретении своей судьбы и настоящей любви.
Избранный выжить посчитал необходимым рассказать о тех, кому выжить не удалось - рассказать и предостеречь.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Подполковник Эркебек Абдулаев с 1982 года по 1990 год служил разведчиком специального назначения в группе "Вымпел" КГБ СССР. В спецназе Лубянки таких называли "каскадерами".
Они изучали иностранное оружие и минно-взрывное дело. Много бегали по ночному лесу, ломая тонкую корку льда и проваливаясь в ямы с водой по пояс. Принимали на слух морзянку и работали на ключе. Лазали по скалам и прыгали с парашютом. Учились метать в цель ножи и топоры, драться одновременно с шестью партнерами. Их натаскивали замечательные педагоги-практики, имевшие опыт боевой работы во многих странах. И готовили их не просто к войне, а к войне до победы.
Из них сделали бойцов "Вымпела" - одного из самых прославленных спецподразделений в мире. И им никогда не приходилось сидеть без дела.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The diary of Jean-Dominique Bauby who, with his left eyelid (the only surviving muscle after a massive stroke) dictated a remarkable book about his experiences locked inside his body. A masterpiece and a bestseller in France, it is now a major motion picture directed by Julian Schnabel.
On 8 December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a massive stroke and slipped into a coma. When he regained consciousness three weeks later, the only muscle left functioning was in his left eyelid although his mind remained as active and alert as it had ever been. He spent most of 1996 writing this book, letter by letter, blinking as an alphabet was repeatedly read out to him. ‘The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly’ was published in France on Thursday 6th March 1997. It was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. And then, three days later, he died.
‘The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly’, which records Bauby’s lonely existence, is probably the most remarkable book about the triumph of the human spirit, the ability to ...

Four Seasons in Rome. On Twins, Insomnia and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World (4th Estate)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
On the same day that his wife gave birth to twins, Anthony Doerr received the Rome Prize, an award that gave him a year-long stipend and studio in Rome…
‘Four Seasons in Rome’ charts the repercussions of that day, describing Doerr's varied adventures in one of the most enchanting cities in the world, and the first year of parenthood. He reads Pliny, Dante, and Keats – the chroniclers of Rome who came before him – and visits the piazzas, temples, and ancient cisterns they describe. He attends the vigil of a dying Pope John Paul II and takes his twins to the Pantheon in December to wait for snow to fall through the oculus. He and his family are embraced by the butchers, grocers, and bakers of the neighbourhood, whose clamour of stories and idiosyncratic child-rearing advice is as compelling as the city itself.
This intimate and revelatory book is a celebration of Rome, a wondrous look at new parenthood and a fascinating account of the alchemy of writers.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run.
That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years.
In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspiration ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A collection of full-throated appreciations, withering assessments, and hard-won lessons by the popular journalist.
There are a few things you need to know about Joel Golby. Both his parents are dead. His dad was an alcoholic. He himself has a complicated relationship with alcohol. He once went to karaoke three times in five days. He will always beat you at Monopoly, and he will always cheat.
Joel makes a name for himself as a journalist who brings us distinguished articles such as ‘A Man Shits On A Plane So Hard It Has To Turn Around And Come Back Again’, but that says more about us than him. In his first book, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Joel writes about important stuff (death, alcohol, loss, friendship) and unimportant stuff (Saudi Arabian Camel Pageants, a watertight ranking of the Rocky films, Monopoly), always with the soft punch of a lesson tucked within.
Golby’s sharp, evocative prose thrives on reality and honesty that is gut-wrenchingly ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
My eyes lifted to the horizon and the unmistakable snowy outline of Everest.
Everest, the mountain of my childhood dreams. A mountain that has haunted me my whole life. A mountain I have seen hundreds of times in photographs and films but never in real life.
In April 2018, seasoned adventurer Ben Fogle and Olympic cycling gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, along with mountaineer Kenton Cool, took on their most exhausting challenge yet – climbing Everest for the British Red Cross to highlight the environmental challenges mountains face.

For Ben, the seven-week expedition into the death zone was to become the adventure of a lifetime, as well as a humbling and enlightening journey. For his wife Marina, holding the family together at home, it was an agonising wait for news. Together, they dedicated the experience to their son, Willem Fogle ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'We felt an urge to document what we had witnessed. If we who had experienced it, I reasoned, did not reveal the bitter truth, people simply would not believe the extent of the Nazis' evil. I wanted to share our life, the events and our struggle to survive.'
Thomas Geve was just 15 years old when he was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945. It was the third concentration camp he had survived. Upon arrival at Auschwitz- Birkenau, Thomas was separated from his mother and left to fend for himself in the men's camp of Auschwitz I, at the age of 13. During the 22 months he was imprisoned, he was subjected to, and forced to observe first-hand, the inhumane world of Nazi concentration camps.
On his eventual release Thomas felt compelled to capture daily life in the death camps in more than eighty profoundly moving drawings. Infamous scenarios synonymous with this dark period of history were portrayed in poignant but simplistic detail with extrao ...
