eBook: 'Are there not books that can make us live more in one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years?' In this brilliant collection of essays, Oscar Wilde talks about art, literature, and criticism as only he can. The topics range from discussions of Shakespeare's use of costumes and stage design to elevate his dramas, to condemnations of realism, and celebration of criticism as an art form in itself. 'Intentions' is bold, insightful, and witty. Its ideas show why Wilde was considered one of the most unique voices of his time and many of the topics are still fiercely debated today, such as whether art should have a moral message or simply exist to be artistic. These essays truly show Wilde at his best and lay a clear foundation for the ideas and beliefs that would shape his later writings. 'Intentions' provides an unparalleled look into the mind of a great artist and should be read by any fans of Wilde or aspiring artists

eBook: ‘Ravenna’ is one of Wilde’s earliest poems, written while he was a student at Oxford in the 1870s. He submitted it as an entry for the Newdigate Prize, in which the subject for a poem was already set. As chance would have it, Wilde had already visited Ravenna in the previous year and had already begun work on a poem, celebrating the "much-loved city." Needless to say, Wilde won the Newdigate Prize, despite submitting his entry anonymously. A wonderful example of the poet at his most lyrical, ‘Ravenna’ was constructively criticised by the college’s Professor of Poetry. Wilde, of course, ignored him and the poem remains as he originally wrote it.

Wilde went on to gift copies of the book to assorted dignitaries, including Albert Edward, the then Prince of Wales. The anthology is an insightful exploration of human emotions and a landmark in his career. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.

eBook: One is impressed in America, but not favourably impressed, by the inordinate size of everything. The country seems to try to bully one into a belief in its power by its impressive bigness."In 1881 Oscar Wilde boarded the "Arizona" and sailed to New York to embark on a year-long lecture tour. In 'Impressions of America' he examines the cultural differences between America and Britain. He notes, for instance, that the Americans aren't necessarily well-dressed but comfortably dressed. He argues that the American youth is more acceptive of new ideas because their education is more practical, and he recounts how unimpressed he was with Niagara Falls and the ugly yellow protective wear he had to put on. Like Charles Dickens' 'American Notes for General Circulation' from some forty years prior, this essay is both entertaining and thought-provoking

eBook: While Wilde might be better known for acidic and satirical comedies, such as 'The Importance of being Earnest,' and 'Lay Windemere's Fan,' his first outing as a playwright was in the realms of tragedy. Set in Russia, 'Vera; or, The Nihilists' follows the eponymous Vera on her journey from barmaid, to joining terrorist group, 'The Nihilists,' and becoming their top assassin. Inspired by real-life events, Wilde's play explores the idea that full commitment to an ideology can dehumanise almost anyone. While considered a tragedy, and with more than a whiff of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' about it, 'Vera; or, The Nihilists' is peppered with the playwright's trademark wit and caustic cynicism. A superb read for those who enjoyed the TV-Series 'Killing Eve' starring Jodie Comer and want to see how it all began for one of the 19th Century's most famous – and infamous - writers.

eBook: Written by Oscar Wilde for his friend Mabel Cosgrove in 1894, For the Love of the King wasn't published until 1926 when Mrs Cosgrove handed the manuscript along with a covering letter to Wilde's posthumous publisher Methuen. The publication resulted in a trial when Methuen was sued by Wilde biographer Christopher Millard who was convinced the play and accompanying letters were forgeries and that the publisher was committing a fraud.Although For the Love of the King is in essence a play, in truth it is but a setting with a few added lines. The plot concerns the love of Shah Mah Phru, a beautiful girl, half Italian, half Burmese, for King Meng Geng, and ultimately the extents she will go to for the sake of that love. What marks this play out is less the plot than the settings, perhaps the most elegant of Wilde's imaginings.

The works are dedicated to 'Mr W.H.' and academics have debated as to who this elusive figure might be. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that the initials stand for 'Willian Himself.' 'The Portrait of Mr W.H.' sees Wilde give these sonnets a witty and wry autopsy, poring through them to find the identity of this shadowy dedicatee. However, this is a speculative fiction rather than an academic exercise, and Wilde creates a superb story in which a young actor might give a clue as to who Mr W.H. actually was.

eBook: Výsledky moderní evoluční biologie naznačují, že mravnost v lidských společnostech není jen nějakou konvenční „nadstavbou“, nýbrž navazuje na podstatné rysy všeho živého a rozvíjí je specificky lidskou kulturou. Jednající člověk tak není jen svébytná osoba, odpovídající pouze za své vlastní činy, nýbrž nese faktickou odpovědnost i za to, co ve své kultuře a společnosti přebírá. Tato nesmírně široká odpovědnost se musí v současných společnostech rozdělit, podobně jako se dělí a specializují i naše činnosti. Není to však jen břemeno, které by náš život omezovalo, nýbrž může mu také dávat obsah a smysl, který v současné společnosti citelně chybí. A právě tento chybějící smysl, stejně jako společná naděje, jsou možná jednou z hlavních příčin často připomínané „krize“ současných společností. Společný náboženský základ starších společností nemůže filosofie sice nahradit, může však připomenout, bez čeho se ani moderní pluralitní společnosti patrně neobejdou. Knížka, v řadě bodů přepracovávající předchozí autorovu knihu Etika a život, vznikla z přednášek na Karlově univerzitě a je určena studentům, učitelům etické výchovy a všem, kdo si o budoucnost nejen české společnosti dělají starosti.

Kniha klade důraz na umožnění efektivního použití popsaných technik v aplikovaném ekonomickém výzkumu. Toho je dosaženo tím, že teoretické základy popsané ekonometrie jsou prezentovány spolu s intuitivním vysvětlením problematiky a jednotlivé techniky jsou ilustrovány na výsledcích současného výzkumu a to především v kontextu procesu nedávné ekonomické transformace a současné evropské integrace. Toto pojetí z knihy činí nejen učebnici v klasickém smyslu, ale také užitečný referenční zdroj neboť odkazy v knize spojují klasickou i moderní ekonometrickou literaturu se soudobými aplikacemi, na nichž je použití jednotlivých technik jasně pochopitelné. Mnohá použití vycházejí z bohaté předchozí práce autorů v oboru. Text knihy je rozdělen do pěti hlavních částí. První část, “The Nature of Time Series”, přináší úvod do analýzy časových řad a popis jejich nejdůležitějších charakteristik, vlastností a procesů. Druhá část, “Difference Equations”, stručně popisuje teorii diferenciálních rovnic s důrazem na aspekty, které jsou klíčové v ekonometrii časových řad. Třetí část, “Univariate Time Series”, poměrně rozsáhle popisuje techniky, které se používají při analýze jednotlivých časových řad bez jejich vzájemené interakce a zahrnuje jak lineární tak nelineární modelované struktury. Čtvrtá část, “Multiple Time Series”, popisuje modely které umožňují analýzu několika časových řad a jejich vzájemných interakcí. Pátá část “Panel Data and Unit Root Tests”, zahrnuje některé techniky postavené na panelových datech, jež k průřezovým datům přidávají časovou dimenzi a vztahují se k analýze konvergence. Závěr knihy je doplněn o úvod do simulační techniky a statistické tabulky.

Wanted: One (very real) husband Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best Two years ago, Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends...and somehow figured out a way to make it all work. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. That's what you do when you love someone this desperately, right? But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get this semi-disgraced son of former rock stars and his tightly-buttoned-up boyfriend from I don't know what I'm doing to 'I do'. Good thing Oliver is such perfect husband material.

Nové kompletní vydání slavných Wildových pohádek z jeho dvou sbírek Šťastný princ a jiné pohádky a Dům granátových jablek s kongeniálními ilustracemi oceňované malířky Xénie Lavrovové. Již od svého vzniku (1888–1891) před bezmála sto padesáti lety okouzlují vytříbeným poetickým jazykem, nesmírně působivou obrazností, jakož i mravním poselstvím. Jejich uhrančivá síla nespočívá pouze v jejich estetické kvalitě, v jejich ryzí kráse, kterou Oscar Wilde, tento „dekadentní estét“, tolik velebil, ale také v symbolickém a alegorickém významu podobenství, která do svých mnohdy satiricky vyznívajících pohádek vložil.

Milovníky Wildeových her, ve kterých odkrývá pokrytectví tradičních vyšších vrstev anglické společnosti a předkládá divákům a čtenářům postavy, které se vzájemně častují neodolatelně vtipnými glosami a dvojsmyslnými narážkami, potěší i tato jeho komedie. Na jednom z večírků vybrané společnosti společensky úspěšný, veskrze cynický, životem protřelý a zkušený lord Illingsworth obdrží dopis, který podle jeho slov napsala "bezvýznamná žena". Tak začíná hra, která odhaluje leccos, co se skrývá za společenskými úsměvy. Zvítězí mravnost nad pokrytectvím? V překladu J. Z. Nováka vychází jako 172. svazek edice D.
