From the moment Karen Blixen arrived in Kenya in 1914 to manage a coffee plantation, her heart belonged to Africa. Drawn to the intense colours and ravishing landscapes, Blixen spent her happiest years on the farm, and her experiences and friendships with the people around her are vividly recalled in these memoirs. Out of Africa is the story of a remarkable and unconventional woman, and of a way of life that has vanished for ever.

Книги про світові еліти, як правило, зосереджуються на надбагатих, але політолог Роткопф («Керуючи світом») написав серйозну та надзвичайно читабельну оцінку надмогутніх. До останніх десятиліть уряди великих держав становили більшу частину «суперкласу», супроводжуваного кількома главами міжнародних рухів (тобто Папою Римським) і підприємцями (Ротшильди, Рокфеллери). Сьогодні панує економічний вплив, що підживлюється вибуховим розширенням міжнародної торгівлі, подорожей і комунікацій. За словами Роткопфа, влада національної держави зменшилася, зводячи політиків до статусу владних маклерів меншості. Лідери міжнародного бізнесу, фінансів та оборонної промисловості не лише домінують у суперкласі, вони вільно переміщуються на високі посади в урядах своїх націй і повертаються до приватного життя, значною мірою поза увагою обраних законодавчих органів (включно з Конгресом США), які залишаються жахливим неосвіченим. справ за межами своїх кордонів. Непропорційний вплив супереліти на національну політику часто є конструктивним, але завжди має власний інтерес. Автор стверджує, що в усьому світі мало хто заперечує проти корупції та репресивних урядів, якщо вони можуть вести бізнес у цих країнах. У цій книзі, яка не викручує рук і не викликає поклоніння, розповідається про те, яке величезне та зростаюче могутнє життя цього суперкласу обіцяє майбутнє.
Books on world elites tend to focus on the superwealthy, but political scholar Rothkopf (Running the World ) has written a serious and eminently readable evaluation of the superpowerful. Until recent decades, great-power governments provided most of the “superclass,” accompanied by a few heads of international movements (i.e., the pope) and entrepreneurs (Rothschilds, Rockefellers). Today, economic clout—fueled by the explosive expansion of international trade, travel and communication—rules. The nation state’s power has diminished, according to Rothkopf, shrinking politicians to minority power broker status. Leaders in international business, finance and the defense industry not only dominate the superclass, they move freely into high positions in their nations’ governments and back to private life largely beyond the notice of elected legislatures (including the U.S. Congress), which remain abysmally ignorant of affairs beyond their borders. The superelites’ disproportionate influence over national policy is often constructive, but always self-interested. Across the world, the author contends, few object to corruption and oppressive governments provided they can do business in these countries. Neither hand-wringing nor worshipful, this book delivers an unsettling account of what the immense and growing power of this superclass bodes for the future.

In this brilliant book Nassim Nicholas Taleb distils his idiosyncratic wisdom to demolish our illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance and erudition against modern philistinism and phoniness.

УВАГА! ЕКЗЕМПЛЯР З ВІТРИНИ
Деякі люди живуть все життя, не змінюючи своєї точки зору. Для Еллісон Денніс усе це займає 180 секунд... Після життя, проведеного в переміщеннях від одного прийомного дому до іншого, Еллісон сповнена рішучості тримати інших на відстані витягнутої руки. Удочерена в шістнадцять років, вона знає, що краще не вірити в постійність будь-чого. Але коли вона починає свій третій рік навчання в коледжі, їй стає все важче зникнути в білому шумі, що ллється з її навушників. Одного дня, нічого не підозрюючи, Еллісон потрапляє в соціальний експеримент неподалік від кампусу. Раптом вона опиняється перед натовпом, змушена спілкуватися з абсолютно незнайомою людиною протягом 180 секунд. Ні вона, ні Есбен Бейлор, мрійлива зірка соціальних мереж, що сидить навпроти неї, не готові до такого результату. Коли час покликаний, інтенсивність досвіду переповнює Еллісон та Есбена таким чином, що нервує та електризує їх обох. Завдяки підтримці свого найстаршого друга Еллісон вирушає в подорож, щоб з’ясувати, чи те, чим вони з Есбеном поділилися, є справжнім і чи може вона нарешті довіряти собі, іншим і коханню.
Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…
After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds.
One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. Neither she, nor Esben Baylor, the dreamy social media star seated opposite her, is prepared for the outcome.
When time is called, the intensity of the experience overwhelms Allison and Esben in a way that unnerves and electrifies them both. With a push from her oldest friend, Allison embarks on a journey to find out if what she and Esben shared is the real thing―and if she can finally trust in herself, in others, and in love.

Full of humour and warmth, this nostalgic tale by Michael Bond, the author of Paddington Bear, and is brought to life with exquisite detail by Emily Sutton. The Earl’s Castle is home to a magnificent doll’s house, and inside lives a family of mice. Mr and Mrs Perk and their thirteen children live happily together and work hard to maintain their splendid home. But one day their beloved doll’s house is taken away . . . 'This riches to rags to riches again story is utterly charming. Mr and Mrs Mice and their thirteen children live happily in a dolls’ house in a grand castle; apart from having one wall missing, their house is rather grand too, with plenty of room for them all. In Emily Sutton’s gorgeous illustrations their home is full of little details that will fascinate young readers; not since Beatrix Potter either, have mice looked so fine, and yet so very mouse-like, in smart hats and coats. The adventure unfolds perfectly over the length of the book as the mice lose their home, but happily regain it, and there’s a lovely rhythm to the story, told with such apparent ease and so much skill by Michael Bond. A treat!' — Andrea Reece, Lovereading4Kids
