Vzdejte se sama sebe - a naleznete své skutečné já. Ztraťte svůj život - a naleznete jej. Denně přijímejte smrt, smrt svých ambicí a největších přání a nakonec i smrt svého těla, a naleznete věčný život. V době druhé světové války rozhlasová stanice BBC požádala C. S. Lewise, aby připravil sérii přednášek, které by vlily nový smysl do všech oblastí života dospělých lidí. Kniha K jádru křesťanství, v níž jsou obsaženy všechny texty těchto pořadů, je považována za nejpopulárnější a nejpřístupnější dílo C. S. Lewise. Připomíná nám to, co je v životě skutečně důležité, a ukazuje cestu k radosti a spokojenosti. Vydání k padesátému výročí vzniku tohoto titulu připomíná období, kdy C. S. Lewis v době války a nejistoty dokázal utěšit miliony lidí, ale jeho slova mají i dnes stejnou platnost a váhu jako tehdy…

Toto nie je vedecká štúdia. Nie som hebraista ani biblický kritik, ani odborník na starovek či archeológ. Píšem pre nevzdelaných o veciach, v ktorých sám nemám vzdelanie. Ak sa treba nejako ospravedlniť (a asi áno) za to, že som sa pustil do písania takejto knihy, moje ospravedlnenie bude znieť približne takto: Často sa stáva, že dvaja školáci si dokážu nezrozumiteľné učivo navzájom vysvetliť lepšie, než by to dokázal učiteľ.Kniha Lewisových úvah nad vybranými žalmami prináša inšpirujúci pohľad na túto zbierku hebrejskej poézie a otvára pred čitateľom nové možnosti pohľadu na celú Knihu žalmov. Vracia jej to, na čo mnohí pozabudli, totiž že ide predovšetkým o poetické vyjadrenie vzťahu medzi človekom a Bohom. Táto práca je mnohými odborníkmi na texty Starého zákona odporúčaná ako jeden z najlepších komentárov ku Knihe žalmov. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963) bol významným odborníkom na grécku a latinskú literatúru, filozofiu a históriu anglického jazyka. V roku 1954 sa stal profesorom stredovekej a renesančnej literatúry na Magdalen College Univerzity v Cambridgei. Bol výnimočným a obľúbeným prednášajúcim. Dlhé roky bol ateistom a svoje obrátenie ku kresťanstvu opísal v diele Zaskočený radosťou takto: V aka-demickom roku 1929 som sa na Trinity College vzdal a uznal, že Boh je Boh... [bol som] najskľúčenejší a najzdráhavejší konvertita Anglicka. Lewis bol jedinečný kresťanský spisovateľ s prenikavou logikou a veľkou fantáziou. Jeho diela stále oslovujú nové generácie čitateľov po celom svete. V slovenčine okrem klasiky Rady skúseného diabla vyšli nasledujúce diela: Veľký rozvod (Porta libri, 2014) Štyri lásky (Porta libri, 2012) Malakandra (Porta libri, 2013) Perelandra (Porta libri, 2016) Thulkandra (Porta libri, 2017) Kým nemáme tvár (Porta libri, 2014) Hovory (Porta libri, 2015) Kroniky Narnie (Slovart, 2005) Zaskočený radosťou (Porta libri, 2016) O zármutku (Porta libri, 2018)

Vo svojom klasickom diele nás C. S. Lewis zasväcuje do korešpondencie medzi dvoma diablami: skúseným Krutodlakom a jeho synovcom Svrabomilom. Krutodlak zastáva byrokratickú funkciu v pekelnej hierarchii a je mentorom neskúseného Svrabomila. Ten práve začína svoju démonickú kariéru v službách „Otca v Hlbinách“ a bol poverený, aby odviedol nového kresťana – “pacienta” – od viery a povzbudil ho k hriechu. Kniha satirickým spôsobom poukazuje na mnohé bežné problémy ľudského života a kresťanskej viery, ako je otázka dobra a zla, pokušenia, pokánia a milosti. Krutodlak a Svrabomil žijú vo svojom morálne prevrátenom svete, kde je chamtivosť a dosiahnutie vlastného prospechu najväčšou hodnotou. Démoni nie sú schopní porozumieť tajomstvu Božej lásky k ľuďom alebo pripustiť možnosť nezištných ľudských cností. Nové vydanie obsahuje v slovenčine doteraz nepublikovanú autorovu esej o knihe.

C. S. Lewis nebol len známy spisovateľ a majster písaného slova, ale aj obdarovaný prednášateľ a komunikátor.

Kniha – autor Colin Duriez, 296 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Clive Staples Lewis je dodnes populární zejména díky svým sedmidílným Letopisům Narnie. Toto dílo potkal podobný osud jako trilogii Pán prstenů Lewisova přítele a kolegy J. R. R. Tolkiena – stalo se doslova kultovní záležitostí a část byla také zfilmována. Kromě Letopisů Narnie napsal Lewis mnoho dalších, neméně úspěšných knih. Je známý také jako autor odborných studií z oblasti středověké literatury i jako popularizátor křesťanské víry. Colin Duriez popisuje Lewisův život prostřednictvím několika pevných přátelství, jež navázal nejen v kruhu slavných Inklingů a která nepochybně ovlivnila jeho intelekt a dílo. Byli to právě Lewisovi dobří přátelé Hugo Dyson a J. R. R. Tolkien, kteří hráli významnou roli na jeho cestě k znovunalezení křesťanské víry. Jeho vztahem a později manželstvím s americkou spisovatelkou Joy Davidmanovou se inspiroval film Krajina stínů. Dozvíme se také, proč se...

The menial job proves elusive, with steady employment as hard to find as a room of his own.In a succession of more or less unsatisfactory digs, which include a bedsit, a barge, and a large paper bag, he attempts to stay warm, knuckle down, practise the Twist, plan those poetical masterpieces and improve his unsatisfactory wardrobe. Reflecting on these years, Clive is at his erudite and hilarious best.Falling Towards England is the second book of memoir from Clive James. Continue his story with May Week Was In June.

If ever you’ve experienced grief, or if ever you expect to, you really need to read The Grief Cure… magnificent.” —Susan Cain, author of Bittersweet and QuietThe Next Big Idea Club’s Must-Read Book of JuneA Bustle Most Anticipated ReadIn this lyrical and moving story of the world of Prolonged Grief, journalist Cody Delistraty reflects on his experience with loss and explores what modern science, history, and literature reveal about the nature of our relationship to grief and our changing attitudes toward its cure.When Cody Delistraty lost his mother to cancer in his early 20s, he found himself unsure how to move forward. The typical advice was to move through the five stages, achieve closure, get back to work, go back to normal. So begins a journey into the new frontiers of grief, where Delistraty seeks out the researchers, technologists, therapists, marketers, and communities around the world who may be able to cure the pain of loss in novel ways. From the neuroscience of memory deletion to book prescriptions, laughter therapy, psilocybin, and Breakup Bootcamp, what ultimately emerges is not so much a cure as a fresh understanding of what living with grief truly means. As Delistraty created his own ad hoc treatment plan, the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization gave extended, disruptive grief an official name: Prolonged Grief Disorder. A diagnosis, based on meeting several symptoms and contingencies, has opened innovative avenues of treatment and an important conversation about a debilitating form of grief, but it has also opened a debate as to whether this form of grief, no matter how severe and unrelenting, is best approached medically at all.Braiding deep, emotional resonance with sharp research and historical insight, Delistraty places his own experience in dialogue with great writers and thinkers throughout history who have puzzled over this eternal question: how might we best face loss?

New York Times Book Review Top 100 Books of 2024 Explore the “comprehensive and compelling” (Jon Meacham) biography of civil rights leader John Lewis, celebrated as “the conscience of Congress,” through a narrative that weaves together exclusive interviews, never-before-seen FBI files, and documents, offering profound insights into his significant role in American history and the civil rights movement.Born into poverty in rural Alabama, John Lewis rose to prominence in the civil rights movement, becoming second only to Martin Luther King, Jr. in his contributions. As a Freedom Rider, he played a crucial role in integrating bus stations across the South. Lewis was a prominent leader in the Nashville sit-in movement and delivered a historic speech at the 1963 March on Washington. As the youngest speaker and chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he transformed it into a major civil rights organization. His legacy endures through the harrowing events at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where he survived a brutal beating on “Bloody Sunday.” David Greenberg’s “authoritative…definitive biography” (David J. Garrow, Pulitzer Prize–winning author) follows Lewis’s journey beyond the civil rights era, highlighting his leadership in the Voter Education Project, where he helped enroll millions of African American voters across the South. This book uncovers the little-known story of his ascent in politics, first locally in Atlanta and then as a respected member of Congress. As part of the Democratic leadership, Lewis was admired on both sides of the aisle for his unwavering dedication to nonviolent integration and justice. Rich with new insights, Greenberg’s work captures John Lewis’s influential career through documents from numerous archives, interviews with 275 people who knew him, and rare footage of Lewis speaking from his hospital bed after Selma. John Lewis offers unparalleled details about his personal and professional relationships and stands as the definitive biography of a man whose heroism during the civil rights movement paved the way for a new era of freedom in America.

Damien Lewis is both a meticulous historian and a born storyteller Lee ChildSAS Great Escapes Two recounts the hitherto untold stories of six of the most dramatic and daring escapes executed by the world s most famous fighting force during WWII. From the very earliest SAS missions to the push into Nazi-occupied Europe, they cover some of the key figures in the Regiment, including its founder, David Stirling, plus other lesser-known heroes.With each story comes an edge-of-the-seat, rollercoaster ride in classic Damien Lewis fashion, as readers are plunged into the escapees experiences - sharing their most terrifying yet inspiring moments. These stunning accounts of survival beggar belief, revealing nerve-racking bluff and deception, knife-edge encounters with enemy hunter forces hellbent on wreaking vengeance and murder, but also incredible acts of mercy and kindness from those who risk all to help the escapees on their way. Each tale of breath-taking derring-do reveals how necessity really is the mother of all invention, as with every step and at every juncture these fugitives defied fate, snatching survival and freedom from the jaws of the enemy, and all the horrors that would have followed capture.Damien Lewis has worked closely with the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and more, to relate how the men of the SAS crossed blazing deserts, evaded enemy hunter forces and escaped through hostile lands, battling against seemingly insurmountable odds. But most of all, these uplifting tales of endurance beyond measure showcase the triumph of the human spirit and the will to survive. Damien Lewis paints a uniquely vivid picture of the wartime SAS. Packed with detail, this fresh and dynamic book brings us as close to its remarkable members as we are ever likely to get. Joshua Levine, author of Dunkirk In these days when we are told to be scared of everything it is a relief to read of steely nerves and cold courage.

In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera. But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note cuk-koo unmistakable as it sounds across the country. In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature s greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird. ---⠘That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.⠙ ⠓ Country Life⠘His immense, patient powers of observation ⠓ along with a flair for the anthropomorphic ⠓ mean he is able to offer a portrait of animal life that s rare in its colour and drama.⠙ ⠓ Observer⠘Engaging, closely-observed and beautiful ... this author⠙s deep love of the world around him is as inspiring as it is entertaining.⠙ ⠓ Daily Mail⠘John Lewis-Stempel is the hottest nature writer around.⠙ ⠓ Spectator⠘It⠙s his observation of the natural world ⠓ the sight, the sound, the smell of it ⠓ that is so memorable.

Flip the script on how you think about UGLY--what it means, what it is, and how to reclaim it to Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself in an uglified world.Blending joyful self-help magic with incisive social analysis and personal narrative, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis empowers readers to heal, connect, and revolt against uglification.Uglification is ugly weaponized: a tool, ideology, and type of oppression that designates some bodies as more or less worthy of love, respect, access, and dignity. It defines who s accepted in what spaces, which identities are marginalized, and how we all move through the world--and is part and parcel of systems like white supremacy, ableism, sizeism, sexism, and queer- and transphobia. Here, Lewis takes on uglification, showing us how reclaiming UGLY is a subversive act that roars an unapologetic yes! to joy, healing, and community-building in a world that s engineered to hold us back.Lewis asks us to go beyond analysis, inviting us to boldly perform UGLY as an act of rebellion, liberation, and radical self-love. Through self-help exercises, reflective meditations, and lesson plans, Lewis moves us closer to a collective liberation that takes back what society tells us is ugly and taboo...and teaches us to deconstruct what we ve told ourselves is ugly and taboo. In sharing her analysis, personal journey, and activity toolkit, Lewis offers a warm embrace and compassionately guides us toward lives of radical self-acceptance, joyful community-centered healing, and unfiltered self-love.

We feasted on love, every mode of it - solemn and merry, romantic and realistic, sometimes as dramatic as a thunderstorm, sometimes as comfortable and unemphatic as putting on your soft slippers. C. S. LewisThe celebrated scholar and writer C. S. Lewis achieved great success in his life - yet to many he remained an engima. Although he had many friends, few if any ever saw the real, private Lewis and for six decades of his life he remained a confirmed bachelor.Then, at the age of sixty, Lewis met Joy Davidman. Davidman, an unconventional American divorcee, turned his world upside down. It was with her that Lewis truly found love and was drawn out of his shell. This is the story of their brief but incandescent love, its tragic end and a faith that endures beyond even the deepest grief.This updated edition contains a new Introduction by author Brian Sibley and a Preface by the UK s leading Lewis scholar, Alister McGrath.

An 365-day anthology of readings from one of the most influential writers of all time, George MacDonald, compiled by CS Lewis himself.MacDonald was a major Christian writer of the late nineteenth, early twentieth centuries. He influenced nearly everyone who was a major twentieth century writer (including Lewis Carroll, WH Auden, JRR Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, and CS Lewis. Not only was he a pioneer in the fantasy fiction genre, laying the path for people like Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings, but also a major Christian thinker, which influenced Lewis profoundly.Lewis, in fact, wrote that MacDonald was his â ˜masterâ ™, and said â ˜I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself.â ™These words will challenge and uplift you, and illuminate the faith which underpins all of CS Lewisâ ™s popular and enduring writing.
