During his 84-year life Benjamin Franklin was America s best scientist, inventor, publisher, business strategist, diplomat, and writer. He was also one of its most practical political thinkers. America s first great publicist, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public and polished it for posterity.In this riveting new biography Walter Isaacson provides readers with a full portrait of Franklin s public and private life - his loyal but neglected wife, his bastard son with whom he broke over going to war with England, his endless replacement families and his many amorous, but probably unconsummated, liaisons. But this is not just a biography of Benjamin Franklin but rather a fascinating look at American and European political history at that time. Isaacson examines the run up to the Revolutionary War, the intimate relations between Britain, France and the colonies and the decisive events that led to America s independence.Just as David McCullough brought life to the historic figure of John Adams, Isaacson portrays Franklin in the flesh, showing readers how this radical man helped define America s national character and personality.

Now a docuseries from Ken Burns on PBS! The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius. In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

NOW A MAJOR SERIES #39;GENIUS #39; ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSHEinstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered. Einstein #39;s success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein #39;s papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. This is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available -- a fully realised portrait of this extraordinary human being, and great genius.Praise for EINSTEIN by Walter Isaacson:- #39;YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS. #39; Sunday Times #39;As pithy as Einstein himself.’ New Scientist ‘[A] brilliant biography, rich with newly available archival material.’ Literary Review ‘Beautifully written, it renders the physics understandable.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Isaacson is excellent at explaining the science. #39; Daily Express

The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age.Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall. In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.

Epic failures. An epic story.Walter Isaacson charts Elon Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet – but is Musk a genius or a jerk? From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era – a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter. When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies.One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue and charismatic fantasist.His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive. At the beginning of 2022 – after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth – Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas.‘I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,’ he said. It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground.Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground. For two years, Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access.He shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress? The book includes over 100 integrated black and white images.

He was history s most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history s most creative genius. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history s most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo s lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions. Leonardo s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it-to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.

Benjamin Franklin s writings represent a long career of literary, scientific, and political efforts over a lifetime which extended nearly the entire eighteenth century. Franklin s achievements range from inventing the lightning rod to publishing Poor Richard s Almanack to signing the Declaration of Independence.

This volume includes Franklin s reflections on such diverse questions as philosophy and religion, social status, electricity, American national characteristics, war, and the status of women.

This edition provides a new text of the Autobiography, established with close reference to Franklin s original manuscript. It also includes a new transcription of the 1726 journal, and several pieces which have recently been identified as Franklin s own work.

Autor Steva Jobse a dalších úspěšných životopisů přináší nesmírně důvěrný příběh nejkontroverznějšího a nejpozoruhodnějšího inovátora současnosti, vizionáře, jenž se nezdráhá porušovat pravidla, aby dovedl svět do éry elektromobilů, soukromého vesmírného výzkumu a umělé inteligence. Jo, a taky koupil Twitter. Ve škole v Jižní Africe Elona Muska často šikanovali. Jednou jej skupinka grázlů shodila ze schodů, a pak do něj kopali tak dlouho, až měl hlavu nateklou jako balón. Strávil týden v nemocnici. Všechny fyzické jizvy však vybledly vedle těch emočních, které mu způsobil otec, násilník, inženýr a charismatický fantasta. Když se Elon po tom výprasku vrátil z nemocnice domů, otec mu vynadal. „Musel jsem tam hodinu stát a poslouchat, jak na mě řve, nadává mi do idiotů a říká, že jsem k ničemu,“ vzpomínal. Otcovo chování mělo na Muska trvalý vliv. Vyrostl v tvrdého, ale přitom křehkého muže s duší dítěte a nesmírně vysokou tolerancí rizika, zálibě v dramatu, epickým pocitem poslání a maniakální urputností, která bývá bezohledná a občas dokonce destruktivní. Dva roky Walter Isaacson Elona Muska pozorně sledoval, účastnil se jeho schůzek, procházel se s ním po továrnách, natočil hodiny a hodiny rozhovorů s ním, jeho příbuznými, přáteli, spolupracovníky i protivníky. Výsledkem je originální a informacemi nabité vyprávění plné příběhů o neskutečných úspěších a zmatcích, které se snaží odpovědět na jednu zásadní otázku: jsou démoni, kteří Muska pronásledují, zároveň i hnací silou za všemi jeho inovacemi a pokroky?

This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject - Telegraph Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Everyone knows Benjamin Franklin was an important statesman, inventor, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. But did you know he started the first public library in America?Ben Franklin was always a “bookish” boy. The first book he read was the Bible at age five, and then he read every printed word in his father’s small home library. Ben wanted to read more, but books were expensive. He wanted to go to school and learn, but his family needed him to work. Despite this, Ben Franklin had lots of ideas about how to turn his love of reading and learning into something more. First he worked as a printer’s apprentice, then he set up his own printing business. Later, he became the first bookseller in Philadelphia, started a newspaper, published Poor Richard’s Almanac, and in 1731, with the help of his friends, organized the first subscription lending library, the Library Company.Ruth Ashby’s fast-paced biography takes young readers through Franklin’s life from his spirited, rebellious youth through his successful career as an inventor and politician and finally to the last years of his life, surrounded by his personal collection of books.

The book is both a sensory memoir of childhood as well as a tour of the iconic spaces of city. These are expeditions into the depths of memory , moving through vignettes of domestic settings and classrooms, city squares, parks and streets. The memories of childhood merge with a city that is about to disappear into darkness.As his friend, Adorno, wrote, the work is illuminated by lightning flashes of immediate remembrance . . .the images this book unearths and brings strangely near are not idyllic and not contemplative. Over them lies the shadow of the Third Reich. And through them dreamily runs a shudder at the long forgotten.

Původ německé truchlohry (tiskem 1928), nejrozsáhlejší souvislý text Waltera Benjamina (1892-1940), podává unikátní výklad barokní jevištní i výtvarné alegorie - a činí tak jazykem plným aluzí, vnitřní dynamiky a neočekávaných obratů, nutících čtenáře nahlédnout hloubku povrchu a umění neumělosti. Walter Benjamin dnes bývá nejčastěji označován za filosofa kultury či teoretika médií; sám se ale možná chápal především jako teolog obrazu a jazyka, teolog, který poznává různá náboženství, ale k žádnému nepatří jednoznačně, a hovoří o božském, ale nekáže je. Vedle nového překladu tohoto klíčového textu moderního myšlení svazek obsahuje také dějová shrnutí hlavních barokních truchloher a medailony autorů, rukopisné materiály a dokumenty k Benjaminově neúspěšné habilitaci, jmenný i věcný rejstřík a reprodukce barokních grafik, na které Benjamin v textu odkazuje.

Soubor s názvem Lovení perel uvádí český překlad tohoto eseje a doplňuje jej pěticí Benjaminových drobných prací, které se dosud nedočkaly českého překladu a na něž ve svém eseji upozorňuje i sama autorka. Vybrané texty nepojí žádná systematická souvislost, ale každý z nich se po svém vypořádává s týmž problémem ztráty tradice a navazování nového vztahu k minulosti, ať už z pohledu čtenáře Kafky, očima kritika dobové německé intelektuální produkce, či prizmatem vrtošivého sběratele.

This momentous study of Benjamin’s critical practice marks a sea change in Eagleton’s thought. Its goal is not merely to contemplate Benjamin’s approach to language, history, and art but to chart a dynamic new course for contemporary socialist criticism. To do this, Eagleton brushes Benjamin’s Trauerspiel against seventeenth-century British literature, tests his concept of the ‘aura’ against Freud and Lacan, and undertakes his most sustained engagement with Derrida and the political crossroads of deconstruction.

Benjamin Zephaniah, who has travelled the world for his art and his humanitarianism, now tells the one story that encompasses it all: the story of his life. In the early 1980s when punks and Rastas were on the streets protesting about unemployment, homelessness and the National Front, Benjamin s poetry could be heard at demonstrations, outside police stations and on the dance floor. His mission was to take poetry everywhere, and to popularise it by reaching people who didn t read books. His poetry was political, musical, radical and relevant. By the early 1990s, Benjamin had performed on every continent in the world (a feat which he achieved in only one year) and he hasn t stopped performing and touring since. Nelson Mandela, after hearing Benjamin s tribute to him while he was in prison, requested an introduction to the poet that grew into a lifelong relationship, inspiring Benjamin s work with children in South Africa. Benjamin would also go on to be the first artist to record with The Wailers after the death of Bob Marley in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela. The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah is a truly extraordinary life story which celebrates the power of poetry and the importance of pushing boundaries with the arts.

Blu-ray film Walter Mitty a jeho tajný život HD [2013]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Ben Stiller. Walter Mitty musí najít ztracený negativ a vydává se na dobrodružnou cestu za fotografem Seanem O Connellem. Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller), nesmělý a věčně snící fotoeditor časopisu Life, se ve svém jednotvárném životě jen těžko potkává s realitou, a proto raději žije ve svém vysněném světě. V něm se mění na dokonalého romantického hrdinu bojujícího za lepší, spravedlivější svět. Trestá padouchy, zachraňuje pejsky z hořících domů a ochraňuje bezbranné ženy. A také se ve svých snech stává cílem obdivných pohledů kolegyně Cheryl (Kristen Wiig), kterou bez jejího vědomí do svých snových toulek často angažuje. Ale i ve svém reálném životě se jednoho dne Walter musí rozhodnout k zásadnímu kroku do neznáma a opustit bezpečný přístav archivu plného negativů a fotografií, kde jsou jeho největším nepřítelem jen pomalu padající prach a ústrky šéfa (Adam Scott). Aby zabránil svému vyhazovu, musí najít ztracený negativ fotografie, která má být na titulní stránce časopisu. Kvůli tomu musí najít slavného fotografa Seana O Connella (Sean Penn). To ale neznamená zavolat si taxíka a zajet o pár bloků vedle. Představuje to dobrodružnou cestu okolo světa, putování divočinou a nejzapadlejšími kouty naší planety, protože nepolapitelný fotograf-dobrodruh je hvězdou fotožurnalistiky proslulou neúnavným odhodláním hnát se za příběhem bez ohledu na to, kam až jej zavede. A tak se Walter musí vydat po jeho stopách.Bonusy: • Vynechané;prodloužené a alternativní scény • Pohled do zákulisí natáčení • Galerie: Referenční fotografie • Videoklip: José González „Stay Alive“ • Pre-Viz

Revealing the breadth of F. Scott Fitzgerald s gift for the short story form, this Penguin Classics edition of The Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories spans multiple genres and styles to dazzling effect.Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including The Cut-Glass Bowl in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family s misfortunes, The Four Fists where a man s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of May Day - F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , originally published in 1922, was made into a major motion picture directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the great American novel . In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed the first American Flapper , and their traumatic marriage and Zelda s gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon. After his death The New York Times said of him that in fact and in the literary sense he created a generation .If you enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you might like Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby, also available in Penguin Classics.

Tato kniha je výsledkem série přednášek, kterou měl autor v letním semestru roku 1966 na Jižní metodistické univerzitě v texaském Dallasu. Ústředním pojmem přednášek je logoterapie – psychoterapie zaměřená na hledání smyslu lidského života. Frankl zde zdůrazňuje systematickou povahu logoterapie, která předpokládá svobodu vůle, vůli ke smyslu a smysl života. Zaměřuje se na konkrétní logoterapeutické techniky a také na aplikační oblasti logoterapie, jež léčí různé typy neuróz. Logoterapie je kladena do kontextu jiných psychoterapeutických škol a závěrečná kapitola knihy se věnuje i jejímu vztahu k teologii. Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie na Vídeňské univerzitě a profesorem logoterapie na United States International University v Kalifornii a dalších amerických univerzitách. Je tvůrcem tzv. logoterapie a existenciální analýzy jakožto „třetího vídeňského směru psychoterapie“, který se zaměřuje na hledání smyslu v lidském životě. Ve svých knihách Frankl mj. využil své zkušenosti vězně nacistických koncentračních táborů. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Utrpení z nesmyslnosti života a Teorie a terapie neuróz. Pozor! Kniha Léčba smyslem, vydaná původně anglicky jako The Will to Meaning (1988), vychází česky poprvé. Dříve vydaná Franklova kniha Vůle ke smyslu, původně vydaná německy pod názvem Der Wille zum Sinn (1972), je sice taky přepisem různých přednášek (z let 1946-1971), jedná se však o jinou knihu!

Jedenásť mesiacov po oslobodení z nacistických koncentračných táborovuskutočnil psychiater a neurológ Viktor E. Frankl vo Viedni sériuverejných prednášok. Profesor Frankl, ktorý sa krátko nato stal známymna celom svete, v nich vysvetlil svoje ústredné myšlienky o zmysle,odolnosti a dôležitosti prijatia života – aj napriek veľmi nepriaznivýmudalostiam. Franklove slová silno rezonujú aj v súčasnosti, keď svet čelíčoraz vážnejším klimatickým a ekologickým hrozbám, prehlbujúcej sasociálnej aj názorovej nerovnosti a veľkej ekonomickej neistote.Autor ponúka zaujímavý pohľad na odporúčanie „žite tak, akobyste dostali druhú šancu“ a odhaľuje svoje základné presvedčenie, žekaždá kríza v sebe zahŕňa príležitosť. Napriek nevýslovným hrôzamkoncentračných táborov Frankl pozorovaním sily svojich spoluväzňovzistil, že vždy je možné „povedať životu áno“. Toto poznanie je hlbokáa nadčasová lekcia pre nás všetkých.

Vůle ke smyslu představuje autorský výbor z Franklových přednášek, které měl mezi lety 1946 a 1980. Jejich základní téma je následující: Člověk je tvor hledající smysl (logos) a poskytnout člověku pomoc v jeho hledání je jedním z úkolů psychoterapie – a to především Franklem koncipované logoterapie. Výbor doplňuje příspěvek Franklovy žačky Elisabeth S. Lukasové o validizaci účinků logoterapie a Logo-test k měření životní smysluplnosti a jejího opaku – existenciální frustrace. Jedná se o jednu z nejznámějších Fraklových knih, která byla v tomto vydání obohacena o stať „Alpinismus a patologie ducha doby“. Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie na Vídeňské univerzitě a profesorem logoterapie na United States International University v Kalifornii a dalších amerických univerzitách. Je tvůrcem tzv. logoterapie a existenciální analýzy jakožto „třetího vídeňského směru psychoterapie“, který se zaměřuje na hledání smyslu v lidském životě. Ve svých knihách Frankl mj. využil své zkušenosti vězně nacistických koncentračních táborů.
