Miss Dior is a wartime story of freedom and fascism, beauty and
betrayal and 'a gripping story' (Antonia Fraser). *A new Apple TV
drama series starring Maisie Williams as Catherine Dior, in a role
inspired by Justine Picardie's Miss Dior, has been announced for 14
February 2024*'Exceptional . .. Miss Dior is so much more than a
biography. It's about how necessity can drive people to either
terrible deeds or acts of great courage, and how beauty can grow
from the worst kinds of horror.'DAILY TELEGRAPHMiss Dior explores
the relationship between the visionary designer Christian Dior and
his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous
perfume and shaped his vision of femininity.Justine Picardie's
journey takes her to wartime Paris, where Christian honed his
couture skills while Catherine dedicated herself to the French
Resistance and the battle against the Nazis, until she was captured
by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of
RavensbrA1ck. Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads
Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of
resistance and sisterhood. She discovers what it means to believe
in beauty and hope, despite our knowledge of darkness and despair,
and reveals the timeless solace of the natural world in the
aftermath of devastation and destruction.*A beautiful, full colour
package featuring over 200 archival images.*'Extraordinary . .
.Picardie uses her investigative reporting skills . . .the result
is Netflix-worthy and the pace page-turning . . .Catherine's story
shines - the quiet Dior who preferred flowers to fashion, the
unsung heroine who survived the abuse of the Third Reich to help
liberate France.'SUNDAY TIMES
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
