Land of the Turquoise Mountains - Cyrus Massoudi

A compelling personal journey of discovery, illuminating the Iran that lies beyond the headlines.For Cyrus Massoudi, a young British-born Iranian, the country his parents were forced to flee thirty years ago was a place wholly unknown to him. Wanting to make sense of his roots and piece together the divided, divisive and deeply contradictory puzzle that is contemporary Iran, he embarked on a series of journeys that spanned hundreds of miles and thousands of years through the many ebbs and flows of Iranian history.Rich portrayals of Sufis and ageing aristocrats, smugglers and underground rock bands are all woven together with history, religion and mythology to form a unique portrait of contemporary Iranian society. The thread running through the heart of the narrative is Massoudi''s poignant personal quest; his struggle echoing that of Iran itself, as it fights to forge a cohesive modern identity.Land of the Turquoise Mountains reveals a world beyond the propaganda-driven, media-fuelled image of fractious, flag-burning fundamentalism and provides a compelling glimpse both into the heart of a deeply misunderstood nation and what it is to seek out and discover one''s heritage.

Angel of the Mountains - Paul Maunder

''Maunder''s book is more than just a biography of the rise and fall of a complicated man . . . It is also a critique of the damage that myth-making and the media can do to an athlete; a study of what happens to a demigod when thrown from Mount Olympus'' The TimesCharly Gaul is a forgotten cycling legend. Once a household name across Europe, the diminutive Luxembourger won the 1958 Tour de France and the Giro d''Italia twice. A unique rider, Gaul was supremely gifted at climbing and resilient even in the foulest weather. His pedalling style was smooth and swift, and he could set an unmatchable metronome rhythm on a mountain climb. ''Mozart on two wheels,'' was how one contemporary writer described him; another dubbed him ''The Angel of the Mountains''.At the end of his cycling career Gaul disappeared, becoming a hermit living in a forest in Luxembourg. What drove Charly Gaul into a recluse''s life? In Angel of the Mountains, Paul Maunder seeks to uncover the truth about Gaul, his psychology and the circumstances of his withdrawal from society. In rediscovering Gaul''s enigmatic life, we find not only an unlikely hero but also a larger truth about ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ekonomie rodiny v proměnách času, institucí a hodnot (9788024623573)

Elektronická kniha - autor Lubomír Mlčoch, 194 stran, česky Monografie Ekonomie rodiny v proměnách času, institucí a hodnot je rozsáhlou studií institucionální ekonomie a křesťanské sociální etiky, která nabízí komplexní pohled na instituci rodiny ve společnosti. Popisuje ekonomii rodiny v její dlouhodobé dezintegraci, kdy byly postupně všechny funkce rodiny předávány trhu. Komparace jednotlivých modelů začíná u námi opuštěného modelu rodiny v reálném socialismu a pokračuje zkoumáním rodinné politiky Anglie, Spojených států amerických, Skandinávie, Německa, Francie a dalších evropských zemí. Ze srovnání a hodnocení dosažených výsledků rodinných politik vychází jako relativně nejuspokojivější model francouzský, nicméně i zde – jako všude v euroatlantickém okruhu – vyvstává potřeba řešit selhávání systémů, jež mají poskytovat zabezpečení na stáří. Studie dokládá, že samotná substituce dětí kapitálovými investicemi do penzijních fondů bez demografické rovnováhy...

Mnoha příklady autoři na bohatém historickém, etnografickém a antropologickém materiálu ukazují, že bolest je tvárný kulturní jev, jelikož byla a zůstává v různých kulturách pojímána, využívána, dopřávána či odmítána. Seznamují s rozmanitými podobami trestu a mučení, ale rovněž ukazují, že bolest bývala součástí iniciačních rituálů, a zkoumají, zda musí být bolest nezbytně součástí lidského zrození. Zavádějí nás také mezi příznivce moderního primitivismu a do komunity BDSM, kteří mají k bolesti kladný přístup. Kniha volně navazuje na předcházející tituly Tělo (2014) a Tělo 2.0 (2017).

29.7.1856 Smrt Karla Havlíčka Borovského: Legenda o brixenském mučedníkovi v proměnách času (978-80-87341-53-7)

Bylo to velmi krátké období pouhých čtrnácti měsíců, kdy už zápasil se stále se zhoršující nemocí. Toto období bylo však také spojeno se vznikem mučednické legendy – později se tvrdívalo, že Havlíček psychicky trpěl tím, že se mu přátelé ze strachu vyhýbali, ale autor podobná tvrzení vyvrací, stejně jako některé další mýty včetně toho, že Božena Němcová položila na „mučedníkovu“ rakev trnovou korunu. Součástí knihy je i stručné vylíčení Havlíčkovy žurnalistické dráhy, neboť ta byla příčinou jeho deportace do Brixenu. Autor se nevyhýbá ani spekulaci, jak by se Havlíčkův život mohl vyvíjet, kdyby se dožil vysokého věku jako jeho matka a sourozenci. Zabývá se též Havlíčkovým „druhým životem“, hodnocením jeho osudu a literárního i publicistického díla. Závěrem naznačuje, že deportace do Brixenu byla...
