Пять тысяч лет назад в долине Тигра и Евфрата процветал великий Шумер. Держава, полная тайн, загадок и древнего волшебства. В благословенном Вавилоне восседал мудрый император, к небесам вздымалась башня магической Гильдии, а на окраине города Ура находился дворец Шахшанор. Пять тысяч лет назад в этом дворце родился младенец по имени Креол – тот самый Креол, который спустя много лет станет всесильным архимагом.
Пока что он еще юн, у него даже не растет борода. Но приключений в его жизни уже достаточно – и о некоторых из них мы расскажем на страницах этой книги.

Рене Реймонд, известный всему миру под псевдонимом Джеймс Хэдли Чейз, прославился в жанре «крутого» детектива. Он вышел из семьи отставного британского офицера, и отец прочил Рене карьеру ученого. Но в 18 лет будущий писатель оставил учебу и навсегда покинул родительский дом. Постоянно менял работу и испробовал немало профессий, прежде чем стал агентом-распространителем книг, основательно изучив книжный бизнес изнутри. Впоследствии он с иронией вспоминал: «…Пришлось постучать не менее чем в сто тысяч дверей, и за каждой из них мог встретить любого из персонажей своих будущих романов… И столько пришлось мокнуть под дождем, что сейчас никто не в силах заставить меня выйти из дома в сырую погоду…» В течение почти полувековой писательской деятельности Чейз создал порядка девяноста романов, которые пользовались неизменным успехом у читателей разных стран, и около пятидесяти из них были экранизированы.

Я всегда опасался писать о нем. И не только потому, что в теме есть привкус вульгарности: Распутин – один из самых популярных мифов массовой культуры XX века. Опасался, потому что не понимал его, хотя прочел о нем множество книг. Многие написаны были весьма добросовестно, но под пером исследователей исчезало главное – его тайна.
Он зыбок, он странно меняется. Очень точно сказала о нем великая княгиня Ольга, сестра последнего царя: «Он менялся, как хамелеон». О том же пишут и другие: «Когда вспомнишь эту его диковинную особенность мгновенно изменяться… сейчас сидел простой, неграмотный мужичок, грубоватый, почесывающийся, и язык у него еле шевелится, и слова ползут неповоротливо… и вдруг превращается он во вдохновенного пророка… и… новый скачок перевертыша, и с диким звериным сладострастием скрипят белые зубы, из-за тяжелой завесы морщин бесстыдно кивает какой-то хищный, безудержный, как молодой зверь… и вот уже… на месте распоясанного охальника сидит серый сибирский странник, тридцать лет ищущий Бога по земле», – вспоминала Жуковская.
Но главная его тайна, которую я никак не мог понять, – это ослепление Царской Семьи.

In Oathbringer, the third volume of the Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance. Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past — even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

Danilov, a mild-mannered half-demon sent to earth to stir things up and confuse mankind, is so in love with this planetand a particular earthling called Natashathat he fears his bosses will recall him. So he commits some minor mayhem in the nature of earthquakes and thunderstorms, but not until a bona fide demon visits him from outer space does earth truly shake in its orbit. The two fight a duel over the winsome Natasha, havoc ensues and Danilov is, as he feared, recalled. Wandering in space, he is confronted by the realization that this is truly pandemonium, where no love exists, where knowledge is primitive and its purveyors frivolous and, above all, where music, Danilov's obsession, is never heard. Eventually he is tried and defends himself so ably that he is consigned to earth forever, consigned, moreover, to a sensibility so pure that he hears not only every musical nuancepunishment enough in the demonic lexiconbut the heartbeats of sufferers all over the world.

Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers” used pencils, slide rules and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
Among these problem-solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation. Originally relegated to teaching math in the South’s segregated public schools, they were called into service during the labor shortages of World War II, when America’s aeronautics industry was in dire need of anyone who had the right stuff. Suddenly, these overlooked math whizzes had a shot at jobs worthy of their skills, and they answered Uncle Sam’s call, moving to Hampton, Virginia and the fascinating, high-energy world of the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory.
Even as Virginia’s Jim Crow laws required them to be segregated from their white counterparts, the women of Langley’s all-black “West Computing” group helped America achieve one of the things it desired most: a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and complete domination of the heavens.
Starting in World War II and moving through to the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement and the Space Race, follows the interwoven accounts of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden, four African American women who participated in some of NASA’s greatest successes. It chronicles their careers over nearly three decades they faced challenges, forged alliances and used their intellect to change their own lives, and their country’s future.

So begins Julian Barnes’s first novel since his Booker-winning . A story about the collision of Art and Power, about human compromise, human cowardice and human courage, it is the work of a true master.

Category: Philosophy | Inspiration & Motivation | Personal Growth
For more than half a century, in such books as The Art of Happiness and The Dalai Lama’s Little Book of Inner Peace, the Dalai Lama has guided us along the path to compassion and taught us how to improve our inner lives. In A Force for Good, with the help of his longtime friend Daniel Goleman, the New York Times bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, the Dalai Lama explains how to turn our compassionate energy outward. This revelatory and inspiring work provides a singular vision for transforming the world in practical and positive ways.
Much more than just the most prominent exponent of Tibetan Buddhism, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama is also a futurist who possesses a profound understanding of current events and a remarkable canniness for modern social issues. When he takes the stage worldwide, people listen. A Force for Good combines the central concepts of the Dalai Lama, empirical evidence that supports them, and true stories of people who are putting his ideas into action — showing how harnessing positive energies and directing them outward has lasting and meaningful effects. Goleman details the science of compassion and how this singular guiding motivation has the power to
• break such destructive social forces as corruption, collusion, and bias
• heal the planet by refocusing our concerns toward our impact on the systems that support all life
• reverse the tendency toward systemic inequity through transparency and accountability
• replace violence with dialogue
• counter us-and-them thinking by recognizing human oneness
• create new economic systems that work for everyone, not just the powerful and rich
• design schooling that teaches empathy, self-mastery, and ethics
Millions of people have turned to the Dalai Lama for his unparalleled insight into living happier, more purposeful lives. Now, when the world needs his guidance more than ever, he shows how every compassion-driven human act — no matter how small — is integral for a more peaceful, harmonious world, building a force for a better future.
Revelatory, motivating, and highly persuasive, A Force for Good is arguably the most important work from one of the world’s most influential spiritual and political figures.
Praise for A Force for Good
“A Force for Good offers ideas that every individual can work with and build on, ranging from things that help the environment to things that help the less fortunate. [It’s] a long-range, global plan from a brilliant futuristic thinker, so this is a book that can be of value to any human living on Earth. When you’re ready for a jolt of optimism, pick up this book.”—Pop Culture Nerd
“Far from being a self-help book, this examines specific ideas espoused by the Dalai Lama, such as emotional hygiene, compassionate economy, and education of the heart that can make the world a better place. An optimistic and thoughtful primer with practical applications.”—Booklist.

“A cocky bad boy of finance recalls… [his] career as a master of his own universe…. A hell of a read.”
“A memoir that reads like fiction…. [concerning] the vast amount of sex, drugs and risky physical behavior Belfort managed to survive.”
Turned into a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home, and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king and did his bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called…
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent.
Reputedly the prototype for the film Stratton Oakmont turned microcap investing into a wickedly lucrative game as Belfort’s hyped-up, coked-out brokers browbeat clients into stock buys that were guaranteed to earn obscene profits—for the house. But an insatiable appetite for debauchery, questionable tactics, and a fateful partnership with a breakout shoe designer named Steve Madden would land Belfort on both sides of the law and into a harrowing darkness all his own.
From the stormy relationship Belfort shared with his model-wife as they ran a madcap household that included two young children, a full-time staff of twenty-two, a pair of bodyguards, and hidden cameras everywhere—even as the SEC and FBI zeroed in on them—to the unbridled hedonism of his office life, here is the extraordinary story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at sixteen to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing down…
