1984 نشر راه معاصر
«اریک آرتور بلر» داستان‌نویس، روزنامه‌نگار، منتقد ادبی و شاعر انگلیسی با نام مستعار «جورج اورول»، کتاب «1984» را نوشته و «بهناز پیاده» آن را به فارسی برگردانده است. 1984 تا به حال به بیش از 65 زبان مختلف برگردان شده، میلیون‌ها نسخه از آن فروخته شده و درنتیجه‌ی آن، جورج اورول به جایگاه ممتازی در ادبیات جهان رسیده است. با توجه به تصویر روشنی که اورول در این کتاب از نظام های تمامیت‌خواه ارائه می‌دهد، این کتاب بیانیه سیاسی شاخصی در رد نظام‌های تمامیت‌خواه و کمونیسم شمرده می‌شود. «جهان اورولی»، اصطلاحی است که به صورت خلاصه توتالیتاریسم و نظام‌های سرکوب‌گر را توصیف میکند. 1984 داستان وینستون اسمیت را روایت میکند؛ فردی که نماد یک شهروند عادی دگراندیش در دنیاهای اورولی است. رمان 1984 را جورج اورول در سال 1949 نوشت، زمانی‌که جنگ دوم جهانی به تازگی به پایان رسیده بود و جهان خطر تسلیم شدن در مقابل دیکتاتوری را به خوبی فهمیده بود. در آن زمان جنگ سرد هنوز به معنای واقعی آغاز نشده بود و در دنیای غرب روشنفکرانی به دفاع از کمونیسم برخاسته بودند. درواقع اورول این کتاب را برای اخطار به غرب در مورد گسترش کمونیسم نوشت؛ اما داستان این اثر را می‌توان تا حدود زیادی به شرایط حاکم بر تمام جوامع تحت‌سلطه حکومت‌ها‌ی استبدادی تعمیم داد. داستان در سال 1984 (35 سال بعد از تاریخ نگارش کتاب) در شهر لندن رخ می‌دهد. بعد از جنگ جهانی، حاکمان کشورهای قدرتمند به این نتیجه رسیده‌اند که اگر جهان به همین ترتیب روند افزایش ثروت را ادامه دهد، ارکان جامعه‌ی طبقاتی به خطر می‌افتد و حکومتشان سرنگون خواهد شد. آن‌ها تنها راه جلوگیری از این امر را نابود کردن ثروت تولیدشده در جنگی بی‌پایان می‌بینند. ۱۹۸۴ یک رمان مدرن کلاسیک به حساب می آید که ویران شهر یا مدینه فاسده را به مخاطب نشان می دهد. رمان فوق العاده تاثیر گذار و فراموش نشدنی که جهان کاملا خیالی را توصیف می کند که علی رغم تخیلی بودن آنقدر واقعی به نظر می رسد. این کتاب را انتشارات «راه معاصر» منتشر کرده است و توسط فروشگاه اینترنتی درقلم به فروش می رسد.

Cant Hurt Me David Goggins
دانلود کتاب Cant Hurt Me با 3 فرمت DOC|PDF|epub
“David Goggins is a being of pure will and inspiration. Just listening to this guy talk makes you want to run up a mountain. I firmly believe people like him can change the course of the world just by inspiring us to push harder and dig deeper in everything we do. His goal to be ‘uncommon amongst uncommon people’ is something we can all use to propel ourselves to fulfill our true potential. I’m a better man having met him.”
–Joe Rogan, Standup Comedian and Host of the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast“David Goggins lives out every goal, every dream no matter what. PERIOD. He’s unstoppable. There’s no limit to him because he doesn’t live in a comfort zone. His mental and physical capacity are equal. Goggins proves that your body can handle anything if you let your mind keep up. There’s no way to stop something or someone that doesn’t understand the concept of being beat.”
–Marcus Luttrell, Retired Navy SEAL, Author of New York Times Best Seller Lone Survivor“Modern neuroscience is teaching us that the path to courage and success arrives through embracing pain and fear, not by avoiding them. If ever there was a real-life example of this, it is the story of David Goggins. In his unrelenting pursuit to self-conquer, Goggins taught himself how to tap into that elusive holy grail of human existence: the ability to rewire one’s own brain in order to continually do better and actually become better, regardless of feelings, external conditions, or motivational state. Can’t Hurt Me is the remarkable description of that journey and the capacity to leverage and better the mind. More importantly, it also teaches you how.”
–Andrew D. Huberman, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine“David Goggins throws the door open on pain, evil, darkness, the worst and yes, the best of humanity, and the strength of the human soul…and that’s just in chapter one. If you are looking for a book that will heal, stretch, inspire, and dig into the corners of what it takes to persevere and overcome in a messed-up world, this is your book.”
–Taya Kyle, Widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle, Author of New York Times Best Seller American Wife“By the time you finish David Goggins’s new book, you’ll have kicked your victim mentality in the butt. Where you go from there is entirely up to you–as Goggins makes clear in this entertaining and poignant memoir cum inspirational how-to. As the man with a hole in his heart tells you, there are no excuses in life, only reasons to try harder.”
–Jim DeFelice, Author of American Sniper“David Goggins’s book is not the first about overcoming severe hardships to achieve success, but it is certainly one of the most compelling. His story of beating the odds, of achieving athletic greatness, of serving his country and his charities, and of mastering his own destiny will inspire all of us to reach a little higher and give a little more. ‘I will never quit’ is a tenet of the Navy SEAL ethos, and one that David Goggins applies to everything he does.”
–Admiral Eric Olson, U.S. Navy (Retired); Former Commander, United States Special Operations Command; Chairman, Special Operations Warrior Foundation“I’m inspired that people like this guy exist. Not everyone will live a life like David Goggins, but he is proof that anyone could if given the right headspace within.”
–Kelly Slater, Eleven-Time World Champion Surfer“Guaranteed to galvanize more than a few couch potatoes into action.”

An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
“Beautiful and propulsive . . . Despite the singularity of [Tara Westover’s] childhood, the questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much must we betray them to grow up?”—Vogue“Westover has somehow managed not only to capture her unsurpassably exceptional upbringing, but to make her current situation seem not so exceptional at all, and resonant for many others.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Hollis’s writing is beautifully blunt, and she humbly thanks her fans for her success. Her actionable ideas and captivating voice will encourage women to believe in themselves.” – Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
“I believe we can change the world. But first, we’ve got to stop living in fear of being judged for who we are.”
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough.
In Girl, Stop Apologizing, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee—instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want. With a challenge to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.Age Range:Adult

The #1 New York Times bestseller!Now a Hulu original series starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.
“I read Little Fires Everywhere in a single, breathless sitting.” —Jodi Picoult“To say I love this book is an understatement. It’s a deep psychological mystery about the power of motherhood, the intensity of teenage love, and the danger of perfection. It moved me to tears.” —Reese Witherspoon
“Extraordinary . . . books like Little Fires Everywhere don’t come along often.” —John Green
From the bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You, a riveting novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives.
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned—from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren—an enigmatic artist and single mother—who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town—and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood—and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

Open Book jessica simpson
دانلود کتاب Open Book جسیکا سیمپسون با 3 فرمت Epub و word و PDF
The #1 New York Times Bestseller
Jessica reveals for the first time her inner monologue and most intimate struggles. Guided by the journals she’s kept since age fifteen, and brimming with her unique humor and down-to-earth humanity, Open Book is as inspiring as it is entertaining.
This was supposed to be a very different book. Five years ago, Jessica Simpson was approached to write a motivational guide to living your best life. She walked away from the offer, and nobody understood why. The truth is that she didn’t want to lie.
Jessica couldn’t be authentic with her readers if she wasn’t fully honest with herself first.
Now, America’s Sweetheart, preacher’s daughter, pop phenomenon, reality tv pioneer, and the billion-dollar fashion mogul invites readers on a remarkable journey, examining a life that blessed her with the compassion to help others but also burdened her with an almost crippling need to please. Open Book is Jessica Simpson using her voice, heart, soul, and humor to share things she’s never shared before.
First celebrated for her voice, she became one of the most talked-about women in the world, whether for music and fashion, her relationship struggles, or as a walking blonde joke. But now, instead of being talked about, Jessica is doing the talking. Her book shares the wisdom and inspirations she’s learned and shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture cliché’s — “chicken or fish,” “Daisy Duke,” “football jinx,” “mom jeans,” “sexual napalm…” and more. Open Book is an opportunity to laugh and cry with a close friend, one that will inspire you to live your best, most authentic life, now that she is finally living hers.

The Getaway Car: A Practical Memoir About Writing and Life
دانلود کتاب The Getaway Car با 3 فرمت DOC|PDF|epub
“The journey from the head to the hand is perilous and lined with bodies. It is the road on which nearly everyone who wants to write—and many of the people who do write—get lost.”
So writes Ann Patchett in “The Getaway Car”, a wry, wisdom-packed memoir of her life as a writer. Here, for the first time, one of America’s most celebrated authors (“State of Wonder”, “Bel Canto”, “Truth and Beauty”), talks at length about her literary career—the highs and the lows—and shares advice on the craft and art of writing. In this fascinating look at the development of a novelist, we meet Patchett’s mentors (Allan Gurganas, Grace Paley, Russell Banks), see where she made wrong turns (poetry), and learn how she gets the pages written (an unromantic process of pure hard work). Woven through engaging anecdotes from Patchett’s life are lessons about writing that offer an inside peek into the storytelling process and provide a blueprint for anyone wanting to give writing a serious try. The bestselling author gives pointers on everything from finding ideas to constructing a plot to combating writer’s block. More than that, she conveys the joys and rewards of a life spent reading and writing.
“What I like about the job of being a novelist, and at the same time what I find so exhausting about it, is that it’s the closest thing to being God that you’re ever going to get,” she writes. “All of the decisions are yours. You decide when the sun comes up. You decide who gets to fall in love…”
In this Byliner Original by the new digital publisher Byliner, “The Getaway Car” is a delightful autobiography-cum-user’s guide that appeals to both aspiring writers and anyone who loves a great story.

The Ride of a Lifetime
دانلود کتاب The Ride of a Lifetime با 3 فرمت DOC|PDF|epub
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of leadership and success: The executive chairman of Disney, Time’s 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world’s most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR
Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger—think global—and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.
Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era.
In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including:
• Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming.
• Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity.
• Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale.
• Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them.This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It’s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology.
“The ideas in this book strike me as universal” Iger writes. “Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.”

The Silent Patient

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller
“An unforgettable―and Hollywood-bound―new thriller… A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy.”
―Entertainment WeeklyThe Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband―and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations―a search for the truth that threatens to consume him….

Truth and Beauty : A Friendship
دانلود کتاب Truth and Beauty : A Friendship با 3 فرمت DOC|PDF|epub
“A loving testament to the work and reward of the best friendships, the kind where your arms can’t distinguish burden from embrace.” –People
New York Times Bestselling author Ann Patchett’s first work of nonfiction chronicling her decades-long friendship with the critically acclaimed and recently deceased author, Lucy Grealy.
Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Gealy’s critically acclaimed and hugely successful memoir, Autobiography of a Face, she wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isn’t Lucy’s life or Ann’s life, but the parts of their lives they shared together. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long cold winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined…and what happens when one is left behind.
This is a tender, brutal book about loving the person we cannot save. It is about loyalty and being uplifted by the sheer effervescence of someone who knew how to live life to the fullest.

آب رفتن تریهورن
داستان تریهورن اثری کلاسیک، جذاب و تخیلی در خصوص کودکی است که احساس میکند در جهان بزرگسالان شنیده نمی‌شود. او برای دیده شدن به هر کاری دست می‌زند. از نگاهِ من، این اثر کنایه‌ای است لطیف به بزرگ‌ترهایِ جهان امروز ما.
هاید در تاریخ 27 فوریه 1919 در پیتسبورگ چشم به جهان گشود و در تاریخ 23 اکتبر 2013 درگذشت. بیشتر دوران کودکی خود را در پانکِستُنی، پنسیلوانیا گذراند. پدرش بانکدار بود و وقتی هاید دو سال داشت، در گذشت. پس از دو سال تحصیل در کالج ویلسون در چِیمبِرزبِرگ، پنسیلوانیا، به یوسی‌اِل‌اِی رفت و در سال ۱۹۳۹ فارغ‌التحصیل شد.
اولین کتاب او، ماکسیمیلیان، در سال ۱۹۶۷ منتشر شد. هاید از آن زمان بیش از ۱۰۰ کتاب برای کودکان و جوانان منتشر کرد که شامل کتاب‌های مصور، رمان‌های نوجوان و چندین مجموعه شعر است.
