Fred Fordham's singular artistic flair and attention to detail and color captures this thought-provoking novel as never before, and introduces it to a new generation, and countless modern readers, in a fresh and compelling way.

Snad nejznámější kniha anglického autora a filosofa. Jedna z nejpozoruhodnějších knih science fiction tohoto století, jejíž děj se ve větších či menších detailech realizoval. Neveselé podobenství o civilizaci, která se pokusila hrát si na Boha a přetvořit k obrazu svému nejen přírodu, ale i lidskou duši. Ač napsaná v roce 1932, je stále aktuální i v době, kdy se klonování živých tvorů stává skutečností.

Audiokniha: Prorocká distopie o civilizaci inženýrů lidských duší Kultovní satirická antiutopie Aldouse Huxleyho je zneklidňujícím, prorockým obrazem budoucnosti, které vládne genové inženýrství, všeobecná diktatura, zábavy a chemicky navozovaného pocitu štěstí. Neveselé podobenství o civilizaci, která se pokusila hrát si na Boha a přetvořit k obrazu svému nejen přírodu, ale i lidskou duši, je jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších děl science-fiction minulého století. Ačkoli kniha vznikla v roce 1932, její poselství je v době experimentů s lidskými kmenovými buňkami, masové spotřeby a mocných médií, jejichž mantry pronikají do všech aspektů života, stále ostře aktuální. Londýn po roce 2540, ve kterém lidé uměle zvyšují svoji spokojenost za cenu ztráty citů a emocí, konfrontuje autor s prostorem Nového Mexika, dosud nepodrobené divočiny, kde přežívá člověk netknutý „civilizací“ konzumu, který mnohem více trpí, odříká si a bojuje, ale zato také více žije. Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) Britský spisovatel, který většinu svého dospělého života prožil ve Spojených státech. Proslavil se svými utopickými a distopickými romány, ale psal i eseje, poezii, povídky, cestopisy a filmové scénáře. Svými názory byl pacifista a humanista, zajímal se o parapsychologii i filozofický mysticismus, obhajoval užívání halucinogenních látek. Své psychedelické zkušenosti popsal v legendární knize The Doors of Perception, která ovlivnila rané hnutí hippies. Konec civilizace (v angličině Brave New World) napsal pod vlivem zpráv z fašistické Itálie a stalinistického Sovětského svazu a inspiroval tak Orwellův román 1984. Marek Holý (1979) Vystudoval brněnskou konzervatoř. Před studiem JAMU dal přednost angažmá v Národním divadle moravskoslezském v Ostravě. V Praze poté působil několik let v Divadle Na Fidlovačce. V současnosti je členem hereckého souboru Divadla na Vinohradech. Je držitelem Ceny Thálie 2013 v oboru opereta, muzikál za titulní roli v muzikálu Zorro uváděného v Divadle Hybernia.

'I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and painting is in the very marrow of my bones' The life of Van Gogh has gone down in legend as the archetypal artist’s existence. He was irascible and short-tempered, hugely passionate and emotional, absurdly talented and, for most of his lifetime, notoriously misunderstood and under-appreciated. And yet today, we see him as one of the most inventive, influential and admired painters of the entire Western canon, if not a genius. Taking us through his short but explosive life, this graphic novel paints a vivid picture of Van Gogh’s unusual youth, his famous early failures, his discovery of a new style of painting, his tragic suicide, and the meteoric artistic legacy that followed. For those looking for an introduction to this incredible artist, or searching for a fresh take on his story – this is Vincent Van Gogh’s life as you’ve never seen it before.

''Every witch uses her magic differently. I use mine to heal people, while others ...''''What do the others do!? Are there many different types of witches!?''''Oh yes! Many ...''Join Lindsay, a young and curious 19th-century lady, as she meets Biddy Early, the famous ''wise woman of County Clare'', and learns all about the magickal arts—from which plants can be used to make healing poultices and potions, to how people dealt with the social and political stigma of practicing witchcraft.Biddy Early, who lived from 1798–1874 in Ireland, was by no means the first-ever witch, but she was the first to appear on the historical record. Before her, fears and superstitions surrounding practitioners of ''the nameless art'' were too strong. It is said that Biddy took an apprenticeship with the ''good folk'', sidhe or faeries, when she was very young, and it was from them that she learned her skill as a healer.Never one to accept monetary payment for the help she offered, Biddy would often swap home-brewed alcohol for her services, which in turn, made her ramshackle cottage in Feakle a hub for the local community. When her little corner of the county drew the attention of the Catholic Church and the local authorities, things became very difficult for this unusual woman…Encompassing self-empowerment, feminism, dealing with stigma, and eco-spirituality, as well as plant magic, traditions, and green wisdom, Witchcraft: A Graphic History is a fresh take on an endlessly fascinating subject.

''Queer: A Graphic History Could Totally Change the Way You Think About Sex and Gender'' ViceActivist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel.From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what''s ''normal'' - Alfred Kinsey''s view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler''s view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we''re invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media.Presented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.

The main character of this extraordinary graphic novel is not a person but an idea-the school of Bauhaus, which arose in the wake of World War I, and emerged as the fundamental reference point for virtually every avant-garde artistic movement that followed. Visually arresting illustrations and engaging texts place the novel's protagonist squarely in the middle of the twentieth-century debate on the relationship between technology and culture.The novel is divided into three chapters that trace the evolution of the Bauhaus, as its center moved across Germany-from Weimar to Dessau to Berlin-and as its philosophy responded to this economically, politically and intellectually highly charged era in Europe. Sergio Varbella's inventive drawings bring to life the theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic design ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande's thoughtful texts highlight crucial moments within the movement's history and in the lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky, Albers, and Mies van der Rohe. The perfect introduction to a radical but highly influential chapter in the history of design, this novel shows how the Bauhaus school broke down barriers and built up ideals that are still applied today.

Whether we like it or not, the AI revolution is coming to education. In Brave New Words, Salman Khan, the visionary behind Khan Academy, explores how artificial intelligence and GPT technology will transform learning, offering a roadmap for teachers, parents, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world. An insider in the world of education technology, Khan explains the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will forever change the way we learn and teach.Rather than approaching the ChatGPT revolution with white-knuckled fear, Khan wants parents and teachers to embrace AI and adapt to it (while acknowledging its imperfections and limitations), so that every student can complement the work they're already doing in profoundly new and creative ways, to personalize learning, adapt assessments, and support success in the classroom. But Brave New Words is not just about technology - it's about what this technology means for our society, and the practical implications for administrators, guidance counsellors, and hiring managers who can harness the power of AI in education and the workplace. Khan also delves into the ethical and social implications of AI and GPT, offering thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world.
