Svazek Dopisů je komplementem k monografii Arne Laurin (1889-1945). Portrét novináře. Nejsou tu publikovány celé konvoluty dochovaných dopisů a vzkazů, jež Arnošt/Arne Lustig/Laurin adresoval té které osobě, nýbrž ty, jež bylo možné v nějakém ohledu číst jako specificky vyzařující, přibližující nebo - spíše - naznačující pozoruhodné prvky, fasety, polohy a souvislosti Laurinova působení či (řečová) gesta pro Laurinův způsob vykloněnosti do světa příznačná. V Laurinově případě jde přitom o komplex bohatě a inspirativně rozrušující meze oborově, institucionálně, státně, národnostně, politicky aj. definovatelných polí, co se týče proporcí a časování edice, odvíjí se od povahy klíčového pramenného rezervoáru - totiž rozsáhlé pozůstalosti Arneho Laurina dochované v Literárním archivu Památníku národního písemnictví. Zatímco období zhruba do poloviny dvacátých let je v tomto fondu dokumentováno bohatě, avšak výhradně v okruhu korespondence Lustigovi/Laurinovi adresované (nejednou spadající ještě do předválečných let), pro období následující (do roku 1936) lze navíc počítat s ne právě obvyklým korpusem kopií (průklepů) dopisů, jež Laurin (povětšinou, pravděpodobně) druhým odeslal. Hustotu poté střídá pramenná nouze: v ní se soubor dopisů spadajících do těchto let stává nutně leda chudým příbuzným zevrubné monografické sondy, rozkrývající rysy Laurinovy exilové existence. Speciální okolností je jazyk. Čeština a němčina Laurinovi byly rovnocennými živly, s některými partnery krom toho komunikoval francouzsky. Toto víceřečí je v edici zachováno: německé ani francouzské dopisy či úryvky z nich v rámci vysvětlivek nejsou přeloženy, čtenář je tak symbolicky ponechán napospas této stránce Laurinovy společenské situovanosti, zakotvené sice ponejvíce v Praze, de facto však - právě v korespondenčním styku - permanentně přeshraničné.

Kolikrát jste už slyšeli, že musíte mít jasný plán? Co všechno jste obětovali cílům, které jste si ani sami nezvolili? A kdy naposledy jste se učili něco nového jen proto, že vás to opravdu zajímalo?Anne-Laure Le Cunff, bývalá manažerka Googlu, opustila kariérní dráhu, aby přehodnotila, co skutečně znamená být úspěšný. V této knize vás zve k přijetí experimentálního přístupu k životu – takového, který nevychází z tlaku na výkon, ale z vědomé zvědavosti.Kniha propojuje neurovědu, filozofii a osobní příběh autorky, která prošla selháním ve startupu, tvůrčí krizí i vyhořením. Díky těmto zkušenostem vytvořila nový způsob, jak nahlížet na osobní růst, a nabízí konkrétní nástroje, s jejichž pomocí můžete: snadněji zvládat nejistotu, znovu objevit radost z učení, pěstovat produktivitu, která vás nevyčerpá, ale posílí. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Prokrastinace není lenost — často signalizuje emocionální nebo smyslový nesoulad. Lineární cíle mohou vést ke strachu, toxické produktivitě a vyhoření. Každodenní malé experimenty vám umožní získávat cenné odpovědi bez velkého rizika. Když všechno vnímáte jako experiment, selhání prakticky neexistuje. Nemusíte jít za smyslem — zvědavost vás k němu může dovést sama. Zapomeňte na cizí představy o tom, co je pro vás dobré. S pomocí praktických a vědecky podložených nástrojů si můžete vytvořit život jedinečný a autentický — takový, který bude patřit jen vám.Anne-Laure Le Cunff (*1978) je neurovědkyně francouzsko-alžírského původu a zakladatelka vzdělávací komunity Ness Labe. Po úspěšné kariéře manažerky v Googlu se rozhodla vrátit na akademickou půdu a získala doktorát z psychologie a neurovědy na King's College.Ve své práci zkoumá propojení zvídavosti, neurovědy, psychologie a technologií. Věnuje se vědecky podloženým strategiím pro efektivní využívání mysli, zvládání nejistot a podporu celoživotního učení. Publikuje v odborných časopisech i médiích jako WIRED, Forbes či Rolling Stone. Její newsletter o kreativitě, učení a vědomé produktivitě odebírá více než 120 000 čtenářů po celém světě.

Jedinečná publikace věnovaná historii značky Škoda, která se proslavila po celém světě. Autor shrnuje historii výroby automobilů Škoda od samých počátků za Rakouska-Uherska, kdy vznikla "továrna jízdních kol Laurin & Klement", až po změnu politických a ekonomických poměrů v ČSSR, a sleduje proměny výroby a šíření dobrého jména firmy Škoda ve světě. Soustředí se posléze na úspěchy osobních vozů Škoda ve slavných závodech, kterých se vozy Laurin & Klement i Škoda účastnily od samých počátků automobilového sportu. Autor žije dlouho ve Velké Británii a může tak zprostředkovat přijetí značky za hranicemi někdejšího východního bloku: počáteční odstup a pozdější uznání britských zákazníků ilustruje mj. pomocí dobových recenzí několika modelů škodovek v automobilistických časopisech. Vedle těchto cenných a málo známých dokumentů je součástí knihy i rozsáhlý ilustrační doprovod, který tvoří krom fotografií i dobové propagační materiály. Kniha svým pojetím navazuje na úspěšnou autorovu publikaci Tatra, která vyšla v Argu v roce 2020

Laure Pigeon (1882-1965) is one of the leading figures in Art Brut (Outsider Art), along with Aloïse Corbaz and Adolf Wölfli. The Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne probably possesses her entire oeuvre, amounting to over 400 works, including writings, notebooks, small-scale drawings and an extensive series of large compositions in blue ink. These are all part of the corpus of works acquired by Jean Dubuffet, the historic collection around which the museum was founded. In 1978, the Collection de l’Art Brut held the first and only monographic exhibition dedicated to this artist. A new exhibition in 2025 has now been devoted to her exclusively. It offers a representative selection of her striking graphic work, spanning a period of 30 years.Like Madge Gill, Jeanne Tripier, Augustin Lesage and Raphaël Lonné, Laure Pigeon too was a member of the spiritualist fraternity – men and women who feel “selected” to receive messages from the hereafter and claim the deceased are responsible for their creations. The spiritualist’s hand is therefore guided and merely executes what the spirits dictate.The catalogue, in French and English, includes essays by several authors and a large number of colour illustrations.

Texty dvou deníků, které sepsal při svých cestách automobilem Benz z Liberce do Gondorfu dvaadvacetiletý Theodor von Liebieg v letech 1984 a 1985, vydá koncem října Dům česko-německého porozumění v Rýnovicích pod názvem Deníky z cest 1894-1895. Jedná se o první vydání obou deníků v českém jazyce, které jsou doplněné informacemi o závodní kariéře Liebiega, jeho podílu na rozvoji automobilismu v Českých zemích i o jeho spolkové činnosti. Theodor von Liebieg byl jedním ze zakladatelů prvních auto klubů na území Rakouska-Uherska. Oba původní deníky existují pouze ve dvou vydání. Jedno je v Okresním archivu v Liberci, druhé v Muzeu Mercedes - Benz ze Stuttgartu. Pracovníci Sudetoněmeckého muzea v Mnichově z nich vytvořili katalog k výstavě "Ferdinand Porsche a další průkopníci automobilového průmyslu z Čech", který končí v lednu 2026. Vnuk zakladatele rodinné firmy se narodil v Liberci15. června 1872 a zemřel ve stejném městě 23. května 1932. Svůj první automobil si osobně v létě roku 1983 objednal u Karla Benze v Mannheimu a v prosinci byl jeho vůz dopraven po železnici i se zkušeným mechanikem, který učil Liebiega s novým strojem zacházet. Liebieg se na svou první dálkovou trasu vydal hned následujícího roku se svým přítelem z gymnázia Franzem von Stránským. Druhou spolu absolvovali také do Gondorfu, ale po jiné trase a mimo jiné navštívili při ní i francouzské město Remeš. Autory české knihy jsou Petra Laurin, Raimund Paleczek (Sudetoněmecké muzeum Mnichov) a Jan Šebelka, překlad z němčiny Petra Laurin, velikost 21x20 cm, 96 stránek. V knize je víc než šest desítek fotografií, z nichž mnohé jsou publikovány poprvé. Na obálce je detail obrazu Hugo Charlemonta Jizda autem ze sbírek Galerie Lazně Liberec. Vydal Dům česko-německého porozumění v Jabloni nad Nisou - Rýnovicích ve spolupráci se Spolkem Němců v Liberci.

Ghosts and spirits inhabit the world around us. We can hear and see them if we are only sensitive - or psychic - enough to be aware of them.Re-examining a fascinating assortment of recorded sightings from as far back as Roman times, the author presents a serious look at ghosts, not as chain-rattling spooks, but as actual entities with which we share a greater reality.Nor does he accept that ghosts are merely the spirits of departed people, or energies left behind. Uniquely, Paul Roland provides self-tested evidence on the idea of spirits as the manifestation of people still living, proving that out-of-body experiences are not as rare - or as impossible - as some people might think.The result is a profoundly fascinating, thought-provoking book that will challenge your beliefs as never before.

The book is aimed at all readers not just those who are interested in the esoteric. It introduces accessibly and surprisingly clearly the causes of the toxic relationships that arise between people and ghosts. It contains a large dose of psychology of the soul, testimony to the author's spiritual maturity.Ghosts are the souls of people who, after the death of their physical body, have not resolved to pass through to the other side of death's curtain. The reason for that is that, for various reasons, they overlooked their own deaths, didn't have the courage to go through to the other side or were detained or even pulled away from their road by those mourning the souls of their near ones. When they remain in the world of the living they possess people which can be the cause of very unpleasant and sometimes even tragic experiences. Starting with the mildest -- the presence of ghosts in a person causes severe mood swings ranging from powerful explosions of negative energy to deep depressions. They bring out severe states of anxiety, they tempt those possessed to commit suicide, they have a powerful influence on the psyche and are the cause of psychiatric illnesses.In addition, the diseases of the dead person very often transfer through the ghost to the person possessed.

When the internet collapsed, it took the world with it, leaving its digital ghosts behind – and they are hungry. Former photojournalist Katerina fled the overrun cities to the relative safety of her grandmother’s village on the edge of a forest, where she lives a solitary life of herbal medicine and beekeeping. When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won’t allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour. Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others – because the ghosts that follow her aren’t just digital.

With three plays focusing on the family and how it struggles to stay together by telling lies - and exposing them, Henrik Ibsen''s Ghosts and Other Plays is translated with an introduction by Peter Watts in Penguin Classics.In Ghosts, Osvald Alving returns home only to discover the truth about the father he always looked up to, and learns the horrific effect his father''s debauchery has had on him. It was Ibsen''s most provocative drama, stripping away the surface of a middle-class family to expose layers of hypocrisy and immorality. A Public Enemy sets two brothers against each other when one wishes to make public the facts about the polluted water in the public baths of their home town. And When We Dead Wake tells of an artist meeting an old lover by chance and rejecting his wife, in a symbolic exploration of Ibsen''s own literary life and the sacrifices he made in his work.Peter Watts''s translation maintains the colloquial tone of the original dialogue. He has also provided an introduction and notes on the texts.Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) turned to journalism and playwriting instead of pursuing a university career. Ibsen was one of the earliest writers to dramatise the individual''s alienation from society. Although Ibsen was never fully appreciated during his lifetime, he has since come to be recognised as one of the great dramatists of all time and the ''Father of Modern Drama''.If you enjoyed Ghosts, you might like Ibsen''s A Doll''s House and Other Plays, also available in Penguin Classics.

When the internet collapsed, it took the world with it, leaving its digital ghosts behind – and they are hungry. Former photojournalist Katerina fled the overrun cities to the relative safety of her grandmother’s village on the edge of a forest, where she lives a solitary life of herbal medicine and beekeeping. When a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, her curiosity won’t allow her to turn him away. But haunting his arrival are rumours of harvest failure and a rampant digital disease stirring up the ghosts, and the mood in the village starts to sour. Accused of witchcraft, Katerina and Stefan escape into the forest, searching for his missing father and the truth behind the disease. If there is a cure, Katerina alone might find it, but first she must find the courage to trust others – because the ghosts that follow her aren’t just digital.

From the very first page, the narrative pulls you in, allowing you to feel every step taken by the protagonist, Mann. The author’s attention to detail in describing the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle creates a palpable sense of place that is both haunting and beautiful. You can almost hear the rustling leaves, feel the humidity clinging to your skin, and sense the ever-present danger lurking in the shadows. The emotional depth of the characters is another standout aspect of the book. Mann’s journey is not just a physical one; it’s also a profound exploration of fear, camaraderie, and the psychological toll of war. The author skilfully weaves together moments of tension and introspection, allowing readers to connect with Mann on a personal level. You find yourself rooting for him, feeling his struggles, and celebrating his small victories. "Jungle Ghosts" is more than just a war story; it’s a poignant reflection on the human experience in the face of adversity.

In conclusion, "Jungle Ghosts" is a must-read for those who want to understand what it was like to be an 11Bravo grunt in Vietnam. It’s a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a vivid reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served. Highly recommended for both veterans and civilians alike, this book will leave a lasting impression long after the final page is turned. Larry Chambers - Author of Recondo and Death in the Ashaw Valley"One of the most dangerous occupations during the Vietnam War was walking point, a role Ed Mann took on and specialized in. He served a tour of duty in Vietnam as an infantry soldier in the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division from June of 1969 to June of 1970. Mann was wounded several times, receiving several decorations including the Silver Star, while experiencing the extreme hardships of the war with his fellow soldiers. He would continue to walk point for his entire tour, becoming more like the jungle as the days turned into weeks and months. Mann acknowledges the way it was changing him during his time in Vietnam - "I was repulsed by the senselessness and savagery of the war and I was saddened by the price it exacted but I was seduced by it too; proud to be performing an important role in a deadly fight for survival and lured by the adrenaline rushes."An intensely immersive, gritty, and tension-filled account of his experience that will transport you to the war in the jungle in a way that sets it apart from other Vietnam memoirs.

Marie-Laure Ryanová se ve své knize zabývá virtuální realitou a zkoumá, zda tento pojem éry počítačů vyžaduje radikálně novou teorii čtení vedle dvou základních - interaktivity a vtažení (immersion), z nichž při práci vychází. Provádí čtenáře po méně známých i známějších teoriích dvacátého století, které se nějak chopily problému nově vznikajících elektronických médií. Autorka se kriticky staví k jednoduše oslavnému diskursu o hypertextu a virtuální realitě a porovnává jej se staršími koncepcemi narativity a recepce tištěného textu. V meditačních "intermezzech" se zabývá uměleckými díly označovanými jako "interaktivní" či "nová" a pozoruje, zda skutečně vyžadují radikálně jiný přístup čtenáře.

Pierre-Marie Sotto je slavný, u čtenářů úspěšný a kritikou oceňovaný spisovatel. Je to ale také stárnoucí, osamělý muž, a pokud jde o jeho práci - momentálně je v hluboké tvůrčí krizi. Jednoho dne k němu dorazí objemná obálka bez zpáteční adresy; jediný kontakt na ní uvedený je e-mailová adresa jisté Adeline Parmelanové. Sotto nepochybuje, že mu nějaká "nadějná spisovatelka" posílá k posouzení svůj rukopis. Obálku neotevře, odesílatelku zdvořile odmítne a požádá ji o adresu, kam by mohl zásilku vrátit. Než mu Adeline vyhoví, vymění si spolu několik e-mailů, které jsou natolik vtipné a zajímavé, že v dopisování pokračují a objemná obálka zůstává (na žádost Adeline) ležet neotevřená na Sottově polici. Jenomže je v tom háček… Anne-Laure Bondouxová (*1971) vystudovala moderní literaturu a poté začala psát zejména pro děti v těžké životní situaci; pro ně také založila úspěšnou dílnu tvůrčího psaní. Věnovala se divadlu, psaní písní, pracovala jako knižní redaktorka i novinářka. Její romány jsou přeloženy do dvacítky jazyků a jak ve Francii, tak v zahraničí za ně získala několik ocenění, udělovaných za tvorbu pro děti a mládež. Román v e-mailech Drahý příteli, který napsala spolu s Jeanem-Claudem Mourlevatem, je výjimečně určen dospělým čtenářům, jeho protagonisté si ovšem navzdory svému věku hrají rádi jako děti. Jean-Claude Mourlevat (*1952) vystudoval německou literaturu a poté učil němčinu v Německu i Francii. Nakonec však učitelské povolání opustil a vydal se na cesty s klaunským představením pro jednoho herce; věnoval se i jiným divadelním žánrům jako režisér i jako herec. Od roku 1997, kdy mu vyšla první kniha, se věnuje psaní - svou tvorbu zaměřuje na děti a mládež a v této oblasti získal několik francouzských i zahraničních ocenění.

Find success and create organisational change by focusing on your own happiness and wellbeing Written by Lauri-Ann Ainsworth, CEO of the Richard Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean, the region's foremost business accelerator, The Self-Love Mindset: Why Personal Wellbeing is the Ultimate Business Strategy shares a deeply personal journey, revealing how true success—both personal and professional—begins with self-love. Ainsworth believes that people are at the heart of every business. When individuals are empowered to love and care for themselves, that love naturally extends to the organization and even the community they serve. This book is about more than just professional success—it's about creating environments where people thrive because they feel seen, valued, and encouraged to be their best selves. The magic of The Self-Love Mindset lies in three core pillars: Love Yourself through Self-Care: When individuals take responsibility for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, they become more resilient. They can rise above daily stresses and challenges, fuelling themselves from within and bringing their best energy into the workplace - whether leading a team, running a business, or pursuing personal projects. Know Yourself through Self-Awareness: Self-awareness helps people uncover their inner strengths and understand the environment that allows them to thrive. When individuals align their strengths with their work, they not only improve their own performance but also create and contribute to a positive, collaborative company culture. Create Value by Being of Service: Extending self-love through service is how individuals create lasting value, whether in a team, business, or community. When driven by purpose, you contribute meaningfully, enriching both your own life and the lives of others. Ainsworth argues that businesses are only as strong as the people who power them. No matter the context, self-love and personal well-being are at the core of sustained success. When individuals take care of themselves, align their strengths with their work, and serve others, they create a foundation for success that transcends any specific role or career path. In today's rapidly changing world, the businesses that will excel are those that recognize the value of their people and foster a culture of self-love and well-being. It's not just about perks or compensation—it's about creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to be their authentic selves, where their personal growth is aligned with the growth of the organization. When people love themselves, that love extends to their work, the organization, and ultimately the community. This is the future of business success. The Self-Love Mindset is a blueprint for creating that change—showing that when people come first, business goals are not only met, they are exceeded. Empowering individuals to embrace self-love will be the game-changer that defines which organizations thrive in the next generation.

This new volume in the Frick Diptych series features an essay by Frick curator Marie-Laure Buku Pongo paired with a contribution by world-renowned musician William Christie.These two cabinets, stamped BVRB, may well be the last pieces of furniture made by the celebrated Parisian cabinetmaker Bernard van Risenburgh II just before he retired in 1764 and sold his workshop to his son, Bernard van Risenburgh III, who finished them. The cabinets feature eight panels of black-and-gold Japanese lacquers of exceptionally high quality taken from a seventeenth-century Japanese cabinet, chest, or screen. Beginning in the 1730s, the older van Risenburgh worked almost exclusively with the influential marchands-merciers or merchants of luxury goods, who provided the cabinetmaker with the rare and costly Oriental lacquers and sometimes with the design for the furniture on which to mount them.

Exploring psychedelic spiritual practices and afterlife beliefs among the Mississippi mound cultures• Examines the Path of Souls or Trail of Ghosts, a Native American model for the after-death journey• Demonstrates how psychoactive plants were used to evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys• Explores the symbology of the large earthwork mounds erected by the Indigenous people of the Mississippi Valley and how they connect to the Path of SoulsThe use of hallucinogenic substances like peyote and desert tobacco has long played a significant role in the spiritual practices and traditions of Native Americans. While the majority of those practices are well documented, the relationship between entheogens and Native Americans of the Southeast has gone largely unexplored.Examining the role of psychoactive plants in afterlife traditions, sacred rituals, and spirit journeying by shamans of the Mississippian mound cultures, P. D. Newman explores in depth the Native American death journey known as the "Trail of Ghosts" or "Path of Souls." He demonstrates how practices such as fasting and trancework when used with psychedelic plants like jimsonweed, black nightshade, morning glory, and amanita and psilocybin mushrooms could evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys for shamans and chiefs. He explores the earthwork and platform mounds built by Indigenous cultures of the Mississippi Valley, showing how they quite likely served as early models for the Path of Souls. He also explores similarities between the Ghost Trail afterlife journey and the well-known Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.

When artist and writer Noah Angell first heard murmurs of ghostly sightings at the British Museum he had to find out more. What started as a trickle soon became a deluge as staff old and new - from overnight security to respected curators - brought him testimonies of their supernatural encounters. It became clear that the source of the disturbances was related to the Museum's contents - unquiet objects, holy plunder, and restless human remains protesting their enforced stay within the colonial collection's cabinets and deep underground vaults. According to those who have worked there, the institution is heaving with profound spectral disorder.Ghosts of the British Museum fuses storytelling, folklore and history, digs deep into our imperial past and unmasks the world's oldest national museum as a site of ongoing conflict, where restless objects are held against their will.
