Rob Penn Knihy

Robert Penn je žurnalistou píšícím pro Financial Times, Observer a řadu dalších novin a časopisů. Zejména však miluje kolo - jezdí na něm do práce, nakupovat, aby zlepšil svou fyzickou kondici, aby si pročistil hlavu... Na kole jezdil takřka každý den svého dospělého života, vystřídal desítky kol, projezdil více jak 40 zemí pěti kontinentů. Jednoho dne se rozhodl, že si pořídí své "kolo snů", kolo, které nemusí být nutně posledním technickým výstřelkem, ale bude odpovídat jeho postavě, způsobu jízdy a naturelu. Čtenář může autora sledovat na jeho cestě při shánění vhodných komponentů - od ručně vyrobeného rámu, přes vhodný systém řízení, převodů atd. - až po finální kompletaci. Stavba kola je však jen pozadím, na které autor představuje historii kola od 19. po 21. století a vypráví příběhy lidí, kteří stáli za klíčovými inovacemi. Je to kniha o kole - a o svobodě, kterou kolo přináší.

'Charming, important . . . a journey of discovery' Telegraph Over the course of a year, Robert Penn learns how to plant, harvest, thresh and mill his own wheat, in order to bake bread for his family. In returning to this pre-industrial practice, he tells the fascinating story of our relationship with bread: from the domestication of wheat in the Fertile Crescent at the dawn of civilization, to the rise of mass-produced loaves and the resurgence in homebaking today. Gathering knowledge and wisdom from experts around the world - farmers on the banks of the Nile, harvesters in the American Midwest and Parisian boulangers - Penn reconnects the joy of making and eating bread with a deep appreciation for the skill and patience required to cultivate its key ingredient. This book is a celebration of the millennia-old craft of breadmaking, and how it is woven into the story of humanity. 'Compelling, vivid . . . Slow Rise will be welcomed by the new bread geeks' Spectator

Rain gave us Inspector Morse and the sliding tackle. Fog gave us the Cat's Eye, Impressionism and chains on front doors. Wind brought a Protestant monarchy. Hail gave us the Norwich Union insurance company. Storms gave us the pencil, the lifeboat, the Norfolk Broads and the first weather forecast. And cold, grey days? Penicillin.In Britain, what isn't affected by the weather? Since the first chilly Roman sat on Hadrian's Wall and pulled his socks on before his sandals (yes, they're the culprits), British life and British weather have been inseparable.This is the story of a people forever caught out in the rain (or by the wrong kind of snow). But it's also the story of a country that knows how to appreciate a fine day. It's about an obsession with fresh air - and the thousands of ways we've devised to make the most of it. Because, beneath our restless skies, there's something only we in Britain, there's no such thing as a dull day.

Ein Buch über das Glück des Holzhackens und über die heilende Kraft des Waldes. Eine sinnliche Reise, eine Rückbesinnung auf die Kraft der Natur und die Geschichte von einem Mann und seinem Baum. Robert Penn hat den perfekten Baum für sein Vorhaben gefunden. Eine Esche - nicht umsonst „Venus des Waldes“ genannt - 140 Jahre alt und wunderschön. Penn misst den Baum, klettert auf den Baum, verbringt eine Nacht am Fuße des Baums. Er fällt diese Esche und verwertet alles - bis hin zu den Spänen. Er reist durch England, nach Österreich und in die USA um die besten Stellmacher, Tischler und Drechsler zu besuchen. Aus seinem Baum werden Schüsseln gefertigt, Pfeile, ein Schlitten und Axtgriffe. Am Ende werden es 41 Dinge sein, die in sein Haus einziehen. Ihr Geruch und ihr Anblick erinnern ihn jeden Tag aufs Neue an den Wald.
