Velice lehká smrt - Simone de Beauvoirová

Novela z roku 1964, která vyšla česky jedinkrát v roce 1967, v mnohém překročila svou dobu. Autorka v ní líčí posledních několik týdnů života své matky. Téměř reportážní až naturalistické líčení fyzického a mentálního chátrání člověka je spojeno s bilancováním vztahu mezi matkou a dcerou. Péče, kterou se Simone snaží v posledních týdnech poskytnout své matce, je svědectvím o její lidskosti, touze přenést se přes všechno špatné, připravit jí skutečně snesitelný odchod, ale zároveň je to velké duchovní cvičení. Autorka je ledově upřímná, jako by chápala, že jen pravdivost ve vztahu k matce jí umožní vymanit se z nánosů stereotypů, rodinných falší, toxických vztahů. Vystupuje tak za všechny dcery, které řeší svou široce chápanou emancipaci, jež vykračují zpoza Stínu, které na ně matky vrhají.

The Prime of Life - Simone de Beauvoirová, Peter Green

The second volume in Simone de Beauvoir’s celebrated autobiography recalls her formative years in Paris when she began to emerge as a public figureFirst published in 1960, The Prime of Life offers an intimate, captivating picture of Simone de Beauvoir in her twenties, thirties and forties. Beginning as a recent graduate from the Sorbonne teaching high-school girls, we see de Beauvoir revel in the freedom her new financial independence brings. We see her and Jean-Paul Sartre recognise the powerful romantic and intellectual partnership they have found in one another, as they fall in love and define their own unconventional parameters. The Second World War comes, bringing austerity, violence and questions of the reality of freedom and individual responsibility into de Beauvoir’s life. As relevant and penetrating as when first published, The Prime of Life offers rare insight into a truly fascinating mind.

She Came to Stay - Simone de Beauvoirová

Written as an act of revenge against the 17 year-old who came between her and Jean-Paul Sartre, She Came to Stay is Simone de Beauvoir’s first novel – a lacerating study of a young, naive couple in love and the usurping woman who comes between them.‘It is impossible to talk about faithfulness and unfaithfulness where we are oncerned. You and I are simply one. Neither of us can be described without the other.’It was unthinkable that Pierre and Francoise should ever tire of each other. And yet, both talented and restless, they constantly feel the need for new sensations, new people. Because of this they bring the young, beautiful and irresponsible Xavière into their life who, determined to take Pierre for herself, drives a wedge between them, with unforeseeable, disastrous consequences…Published in 1943, ''She Came to Stay'' is Simone de Beauvoir''s first novel. Written as an act of revenge against the woman who nearly destroyed her now legendary, unorthodox relationship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it fictionalises the events of 1935, when Sartre became infatuated with seventeen-year old Olga Bost, a pupil and devotee of de Beauvoir''s.Passionately eloquent, coolly and devastatingly ironic, ''She Came to Stay'' is one of the ...

The Woman Destroyed - Simone de Beauvoirová

First published in 1967, this book consists of three short novellas on the theme of women's vulnerability – in the first, to the process of ageing, in the second to loneliness, and, in the third, to the growing indifference of a loved one. THE WOMAN DESTROYED is a collection of three stories, each an exquisite and passionate study of a woman trapped by circumstances, trying to rebuild her life. In the first story, ‘The Age of Discretion’, a successful scholar fast approaching middle age faces a double shock – her son’s abandonment of the career she has chosen for him and the harsh critical rejection of her latest academic work.‘The Monologue’ is an extraordinary New Year’s Eve outpouring of invective from a woman consumed with bitterness and loneliness after her son and her husband have left home. Finally, in ‘The Woman Destroyed’, Simone de Beauvoir tells the story of Monique, trying desperately to resurrect her life after her husband confesses to an affair with a younger woman. Compassionate, lucid, full of wit and knowing, Simone de Beauvoir’s rare insight into the inequalities and complexities of women’s lives is unsurpassable.

A Very Easy Death - Simone de Beauvoirová

Long considered one of Simone de Beauvoir’s masterpieces, A Very Easy Death is a profoundly affecting, day-by-day recounting of her mother’s final days after she is hospitalized following a fall. Though a devout Catholic, her faith is subsumed by her terror of death, and as her body fails, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In depicting her mother’s refusal to ‘go gentle’ while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her, Simone de Beauvoir ‘shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence’ (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.

The Second Sex - Simone de Beauvoirová

'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' GuardianSimone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.

The Song of Simon de Montfort - Sophie Therese Ambler

''Alive with human detail and acute political judgement, this book marks the arrival of a formidably gifted historian.'' – Dan Jones, author of The Plantagenets and The TemplarsIt was around half-past eight in the morning, with summer rainclouds weighing heavy in the sky, that Simon de Montfort decided to die. It was 4 August 1265 and he was about to face the royal army in the final battle of a quarrel that had raged between them for years. Outnumbered, outmanoeuvred and certain to lose, Simon chose to fight, knowing that he could not possibly win the day. The Song of Simon de Montfort is the story of this extraordinary man: heir to a great warrior, devoted husband and father, fearless crusader knight and charismatic leader. It is the story of a man whose passion for good governance was so fierce that, in 1258, frustrated by the King’s refusal to take the advice of his nobles and the increasing injustice meted out to his subjects, he marched on Henry III’s hall at Westminster and seized the reins of power. Montfort established a council to rule in the King’s name, overturning the social order in a way that would not be seen ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Simon de Montfort and the Rise of the English Nation - Darren Baker

Like his crusading father before him, Simon de Montfort’s combination of charisma and fearlessness made him one of the greatest men of his age. This biography follows his life from his birth in France and arrival in England to his defeat and death at Evesham in 1265. Along the way he succeeded in establishing a constitutional monarchy and, in the act he is most famous for, broadening the scope of representation in Parliament.King Henry III’s long reign (1216–1272) saw many changes taking place in England and on the Continent, including a re-awakening in national identity not seen since before the Norman Conquest two centuries earlier. Simon de Montfort’s recognition and cultivation of this growing awareness was instrumental in his rebellion and takeover of the government. Not for another four hundred years, until the advent of Oliver Cromwell, would England see a revolution led by a figure of comparable stature.

Milenci svobody: Beauvoirová a Sartre (978-80-762-5062-8)

Elektronická kniha - autor Claudine Monteilová, 288 stran, česky Originální a důvěrný portrét dvou velikánů francouzské literatury, v jejichž životech bylo vzájemné intelektuální a milostné pouto silnější než kterýkoli jiný vztah. Jean-Paul Sartre a Simone de Beauvoir byli jedněmi z nejvýraznějších osobností druhé poloviny 20. století. Setkali se jako studenti – symbolicky v knihovně při přípravě na zkoušku z filozofie. Svými myšlenkami ovlivnili nejen své současníky, ale i následující generace. Oba po sobě zanechali významné literární a filozofické dílo a zcela naplnili význam pojmu „angažovaný intelektuál“. Byli členy francouzského odboje za druhé světové války, odsoudili válku v Alžíru, protestovali proti válce ve Vietnamu, byli aktivní během květnových událostí roku 1968, angažovali se v ženském emancipačním hnutí… Bojem za svobodu se stali skutečným svědomím své doby. Jejich nonkonformní milostný život se stal...

All Things Are Full of Gods - Hart David Bentley

A world-renowned philosopher’s genre-defying exploration of the mystery of consciousness  “[A] masterpiece. . . . The most thorough and rigorous account of the nature of reality to be published in a century.”—James Matthew Wilson, World Magazine  In a blossoming garden located far outside all worlds, a group of aging Greek gods have gathered to discuss the nature of existence, the mystery of mind, and whether there is a transcendent God from whom all things come. Turning to Eros, Psyche asks, “Do you see this flower, my love?”  So begins David Bentley Hart’s unprecedented exploration of the mystery of consciousness. Writing in the form of a Platonic dialogue, he systematically subjects the mechanical view of nature that has prevailed in Western culture for four centuries to dialectical interrogation. Powerfully rehabilitating a classical view in which mental acts are irreducible to material causes, he argues through the gods’ exchanges that the foundation of all reality is spiritual or mental rather than material.
