Haunting stories from the Soviet-Afghan War from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature From 1979 to 1989 Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed thousands of casualties on both sides. While the Soviet Union talked about a 'peace-keeping' mission, the dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins. Boys in Zinc presents the honest testimonies of soldiers, doctors and nurses, mothers, wives and siblings who describe the lasting effects of war. Weaving together their stories, Svetlana Alexievich shows us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan conflict: the killing and the beauty of small everyday moments, the shame of returned veterans, the worries of all those left behind. When it was first published in the USSR in 1991, Boys in Zinc sparked huge controversy for its unflinching, harrowing insight into the realities of war.

У традиції Shoe Dog Філа Найта приходить неймовірна нерозказана історія про те, як Netflix пройшов шлях від концепції до компанії – все це розкрив співзасновник і перший генеральний директор Марк Рендолф.
Давним-давно звичайні відеосалони були королями. Плата за прострочення була повсюдною, потокове відео було нечуваним, а широке впровадження DVD здавалося таким же неминучим, як літаючі автомобілі. Дійсно, це були загальноприйняті закони країни в 1997 році, коли у Марка Рендольфа виникла ідея. Це була проста ідея — використовувати Інтернет для прокату фільмів — і була лише однією з багатьох інших і набагато гірших пропозицій, як-от персоналізовані бейсбольні біти та служба доставки шампуню, які Рендолф запропонував своєму діловому партнеру Ріду Гастінгсу під час їхньої роботи. працювати кожного ранку.
Але Гастінгс був заінтригований, і пара — з Гастінгсом як головним інвестором і Рендольфом як генеральним директором — заснували компанію. Тепер, маючи понад 150 мільйонів передплатників, тріумф Netflix здається неминучим, але найпроривніший стартап двадцять першого століття почався з небагатьох віруючих і лиха на кожному кроці. Від необхідності доводити власну матір на те, що вона була першим інвестором, до конференц-залу в мотелі, який служив першим офісом, до збоїв у роботі серверів у день запуску, до сумнозвісної зустрічі, коли керівництво Netflix запропонувало Blockbuster придбати їх, трансформація Марка Рендольфа «Мандрівка» показує, як будь-хто з мужністю, інстинктами та рішучістю може змінити світ — навіть з ідеєю, яка, на думку багатьох, ніколи не спрацює.
Однак те, що з’являється, — це не просто внутрішня історія однієї з найвідоміших компаній світу. Сповнена неінтуїтивних концепцій і написана прозою, яка заслуговує на розпивання, вона відповідає на деякі з наших найбільш фундаментальних запитань про такий стрибок віри в бізнесі чи житті: з чого почати? Як ви переносите розчарування та невдачі? Як ти ставишся до успіху? Що взагалі таке успіх?
Від генерації ідей до формування команди до визначення того, коли настав час відмовлятися, That Will Never Work — це не лише чудова притча про те, як слідувати своїй мрії, але й одна з найдраматичніших і найпроникливіших історій підприємництва нашого часу.
In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company-all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph.
Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard was of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. Indeed, these were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997, when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought-leveraging the internet to rent movies-and was just one of many more and far worse proposals, like personalized baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning.
But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair—with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO-founded a company. Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable, but the twenty first century's most disruptive start up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when Netflix brass pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts, and determination can change the world-even with an idea that many think will never work.
What emerges, though, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success?
From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable, but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

“It is said that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction, and nowhere is that more true than in the case of black holes. Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers.” In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that fascinated him for decades – black holes. In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argued that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe.

“The Merchant of Venice” is among the most famous comedies of the brilliant English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564—1616). Two plot lines interweave within — a story of a romantic courtship and a conflict on the verge of tragedy, driven by lust for vengeance. Through the lighthearted form of comedy, the author recreates the complicated essence of human relations and how capricious one’s superiority could be, for everything is often based on mere chance. Yet youth, love, and feminine insights and shrewdness are capable of handling every situation.

Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Age of Innocence, is both a poignant story of frustrated love and an extraordinarily vivid, delightfully satirical record of a vanished world. This edition features an introduction by award-winning novelist, Amanda Cusk. As the scion of one of New York's leading families, Newland Archer has been born into a life of sumptuous privilege and strict duty. A sensitive, intelligent young man, he still respects the rigid social code by which his class lives. As he contemplates his forthcoming marriage to the striking and equally well-born May Welland, he gives thanks that she is `one of his own kind'. But the arrival of the Countess Olenka, a free spirit who breathes clouds of European sophistication, makes him question the path on which his upbringing has set him. As his fascination with her grows, he discovers just how hard it is to escape the bonds of the society that has shaped him.
