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

Self Matters - Creating Your Life from the Inside Out

Spisovatel: McGraw Phil, Simon and schuster source 2001
Katalogové číslo: F8553

People often feel they are looking for an answer to a question they cannot quite formulate, and Self Matters by Phil McGraw offers a starting point. He has half a good idea. The other half, the half that gets you over the goal line, is missing. It is sacrificed to give the book the widest possible appeal.The book's missing element is expressed in the first chapter. Phil says, Don't panic. Changing your life doesn't necessarily involve changing where you live, who you live with, your occupation, or how you spend your time.That is the age-old problem of psychological advice which promises you can have everything now in your life and perfect adjustment (or happiness) as well. The truth is you cannot. You have to undo the lies of your life to get to your authentic self. When you do that, you will not be surrounded by the negative things and negative people dragging you back to your former life.... v angličtine, obal, tvrdá väzba, väčší formát, 314 strán
