Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders- 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories

Jakou má poctivý člověk šanci proti vychytralému sociopatovi – dobře maskovanému protivníkovi, který dokáže podvádět zcela beze studu?

Les Alter forment une famille presque comme les autres : névrosée, aimante, empêtrée dans ses contradictions. Arthur, Francine et leurs enfants - Ethan et Maggie - sont les héros de cette saga qui élève la comédie au rang d'art. Sous les coups de griffes, le roman interroge la notion de bien à notre époque, et prend le pouls de la nature humaine : qu'est-ce qui fait une vie ? Quand peut-on dire qu'on a réussi la sienne ? Comment survivre aux désillusions, au couple, à la mort d'une mère adorée, aux repas qui s'éternisent ou à une bar-mitsva ? Andrew Ridker répond à toutes ces questions et plus encore dans ce portrait attachant d'un clan qui nous ressemble, au coeur d'une Amérique vacillante mais irrésistible. Héritier d'écrivains tels que Jonathan Franzen, Jeffrey Eugenides ou Philip Roth, Ridker s'impose comme un auteur à suivre, à tout juste vingt-huit ans.

After walking 630 homeless miles along The Salt Path, living on the windswept and wild English coastline; the cliffs, the sky and the chalky earth now feel like their home.

A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills; rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows becomes their saving grace and their new path to follow. The Wild Silence is a story of hope triumphing over despair, of lifelong love prevailing over everything. It is a luminous account of the human spirit's instinctive connection to nature, and how vital it is for us all.
