10 books about people in love with what they do 1. Jennifer Wharf Call the Midwife Call the Midwife is Jennifer Wharf's flashback of her life and work in London in the 1950s. Jenny Lee, a young girl, marveling at herself, takes a job as a midwife at the community of St. Raymond Nonnat in the East End. Dirty streets with traces of the recent war, noisy docks, overcrowded apartment buildings, crime and extreme poverty - in the middle of the 20th century, this area was not well-known. The community's nurses and nuns were then the only ones who vigilantly looked after women from poor working-class families. Working as a midwife, the author watched the hard life of these people day after day, witnessed their tragedies and joys and became convinced of the incredible strength of their characters. At the end of her life, Jennifer Wharf wrote an amazing book about that time, about nuns and ordinary people of the East, the first story in literature about the selfless labor of midwives. Unsurprisingly, Call the Midwife has become an undeniable bestseller, with more than a million copies sold to date in the UK alone. In 2012, the book was filmed by the BBC. With over ten million viewers, Call the Midwife has become the most successful drama series on BBC One since 2001. 2. "Diary of a Bookseller" by Sean Bytell Profession: Bookseller. Is it easy to sell books? Can a humble corner of Scotland be turned into the country's book capital? The author of the book answers both questions in the affirmative. Sean Bytell, owner of Scotland's largest second-hand bookstore, did both. He described his experience with a great deal of irony in the book, based on which the TV series "Black's Bookstore" was filmed. The book will capture the attention of not only fans of the series and reading lovers, but also those who rarely look into bookstores. We are sure that after getting to know this work, you will do it more often. 3. Mary Chamberlain "The English Dressmaker" London, 1939. Ade Vaughan is eighteen, beautiful and very ambitious. Despite her youth, she is a high-class dressmaker, and she has all the data to someday open her own atelier - "House Vaughan", as seen in her dreams. And when Ada meets the mysterious Stanislas, it seems to her that she almost grabbed the bird of fortune by the tail. A new life begins with her first trip - and not just anywhere, but to Paris, the world capital of fashion. Ada sews well, she has excellent taste, but she knows almost nothing about life, politics, abroad, and even more so about men. In a few days, the war will fall on Europe, the mysterious man will disappear, and Ada will be left all alone - in a foreign country, knowing only a few words of French, without a roof over her head and with a British passport in a fashionable purse. This is how the epic of a young Englishwoman begins, who knows only one thing - to come up with dresses and sew them. But will her art be useful in a hostile country, in captivity? And will the young dressmaker have enough courage, strength and stamina to survive in the madness that gripped the world? 4. Henry Marsh "Vocation. On Choice, Duty and Neurosurgery" Henry Marsh's provocative and deeply personal memoir. The author understands that the time has come to retire, that he is no longer the same as before: his memory is failing, he is getting old, his strength is not the same, and the time has come to give way to young specialists. It is difficult for the professor to realize this, but he finds for himself a new meaning of life. The hero travels to dysfunctional Nepal, and then to Ukraine, where he once again provides free assistance to residents. In parallel, the author recalls his youth - both his first love and the beginning of his career, reflects on the difficulties of his profession, on the fact that an irresistible desire to prolong human life can lead to tragic consequences both for the patients themselves and for their relatives and friends. 5. Michael Gibney "Sous-Chef. 24 Hours Behind the Stove" The heartfelt and true story of the sous-chef of one of the famous restaurants in New York.

The world through the eyes of a pilot" The heroic era, when a person was just learning to conquer the air element, and the profession of a pilot was almost fantastic, remained far in the past. Aircraft have become an everyday means of transport for the inhabitants of the 21st century, and travel by air has become a dull routine for many. Really in modern world the magic of flight disappeared? Not for Mark Vanhunacker, Boeing 747 pilot! He never gets bored at the helm and is absolutely sure: the plane gives us all "rare hours of height and lightness, when you can rediscover the meaning of the oldest words: travel, road, wind, air, night, wing, water, land, city" ... Reading these stories about everyday aviation, it is impossible not to remember Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Vanhonacker knows how to talk about his "flying" work as a specialist, and as a poet, and as a philosopher. Its heroes are radio beacons and navigation systems, winds and mountains, cities and rivers, chassis and engines, sunrises and sunsets, speaking (and sometimes giving valuable advice!) On-board computer and the northern lights. And of course, space and time, which whimsically change in flight - and in some way change ourselves. 7.. Fyodor Uglov "The Heart of a Surgeon.
