Charles Bridge - Legends and Stories - Magdalena Wagnerová
Having spanned both banks of the Vltava River since 1357, Charles Bridge has become an inseparable part of Prague’s breathtaking panorama. Its foundation stone was laid by Emperor Charles IV himself, and despite facing numerous challenges over the centuries, the bridge still stands today. Over time, it has been adorned with numerous sculptures. With the exception of the bronze statue of St. John of Nepomuk, all 29 remaining statues and sculptural groups of significant saints are made of stone. Thanks to them, Prague’s oldest surviving stone bridge is a true masterpiece, unparalleled anywhere in the world – a must-see sight for any visitor to the city.

Praha město žen - Magdalena Wagnerová
Minulost Prahy je dlouhá, barvitá a různorodá. Obsahuje významné události i pozoruhodné historické okamžiky, popisuje zásadní dějinné zvraty, bitvy, popravy a osudová rozhodnutí. Sleduje rodokmeny vladařů, šlechticů, válečníků, politiků i měšťanů, kteří na sebe v průběhu dějin tak či onak upozornili. Zachycuje naděje a zklamání jejích obyvatel a líčí příběhy o slavných osobnostech i prostých občanech. Ale v této historii nejde jen o Horymíra, Ctirada a Bivoje, ale také kněžnu Libuši, Šárku a Vlastu. Na listině pražských dějin nejsou podepsáni jen sv. Václav či Karel IV., ale i Drahomíra nebo Ludmila. K významným pražským památkám se zařadil nejenom kostel sv. Mikuláše, ale také klášter sv. Anny. A stejně jako se v Klementinu usadili jezuité, na Hradčanech působily karmelitky v čele s Marií Elektou. Význam svaté Anežky je nepřehlédnutelný a osudy šlechtičen, jako byly kněžna Lichtenštejnská, hraběnka Černínová nebo vévodkyně Savojská, bezesporu stojí za pozornost. Tím však výčet zdaleka nekončí, protože těmto významným ženám v průběhu dlouhých staletí statečně čelily neméně zajímavé ženské postavy možná nižšího původu, nikoli však menšího kouzla - vrhcábnice sv. Jana Nepomuckého, lazebnice Zuzana z Karlových lázní, jeptiška zazděná v Emauzích, bílá paní z Karlova náměstí, další ze Záběhlic či z nedalekých Hostivic, Brigita z Jeleního příkopu, nahá dívka ze Sněmovní ulice, baba z Podbaby a další a další. Mocné vladařky, schopné manipulátorky mužskými protějšky, ale i provinilé vdovy, povětrné ženštiny, bezhlavé ženské přízraky, průsvitná zjevení nebo bezejmenné dívky s pohnutým osudem, ty všechny tvoří nemalou a rozhodně nepřehlédnutelnou část pražské historie, bez níž by Praha nebyla tím, čím je. Řada z nich zůstala na věky věků zakletá v kameni Rusalkou či Terezkou alias Vltavou počínaje a světicemi na Karlově mostě konče. Jen pražské parky, ostrovy a průčelí domů jich skrývají bezpočet; na jedné straně sleduje dění okolo sebe Karolína Světlá, Eliška Krásnohorská, Otýlie Sklenářová nebo Božena Němcová, na druhé straně přihlížejí pražskému mumraji anonymní ženy, dívky a nejrůznější alegorie zakleté rukou umělce v ženském těle. Každá má svůj vlastní a nezaměnitelný příběh, jenž stojí za to vyprávět.

The Aztec Myths: A Guide to the Ancient Stories and Legends - Townsend Camilla
The essential guide to the world of Aztec mythology, based on Nahuatl-language sources that challenge the colonial history passed down to us by the Spanish. How did the jaguar get his spots? What happened to the four suns that came before our own? Where was Aztlan, mythical homeland of the Aztecs? For decades, the popular image of the Mexica people - better known today as the Aztecs - has been defined by the Spaniards who conquered them. Their salacious stories of pet snakes, human sacrifice and towering skull racks have masked a complex world of religious belief. To reveal the rich mythic tapestry of the Aztecs, Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl-speakers. Through their voices we learn the contested histories of the Mexica and their neighbours in the Valley of Mexico - the foundations of great cities, the making and breaking of political alliances, the meddling of sometimes bloodthirsty gods - and understand more clearly how they saw their world and their place in it. The divine principle of Ipalnemoani connected humans with all of nature and spiritual beliefs were woven through the fabric of Aztec life, from the sacred ministrations of the ticitl, midwives whose rituals saw women through childbirth, to the inevitable passage to Mictlan, 'our place of disappearing together' - the land of the dead.

Magická místa Čech a Moravy - Magdalena Wagnerová
Místa záhadná, tajemná či dokonce magická v sobě skrývají nejedno nebezpečí, přesto přitahovala pozornost člověka odedávna. A tak je naše země jako hustá pavučina protkaná sítí temných míst a objektů opředených příběhy, jež mohou vzbuzovat zvědavost a leckdy dokonce nahánět strach. Lidé se občas rádi bojí, a je to právě jejich strach, jenž vytváří živnou půdu pro trudné historie, děsivé příběhy a hrůzostrašná poselství, která neúnavně putují navzdory času od generace ke generaci a přežívají jako nezničitelný, varovně vztyčený prst. Proč lidé považují torzo klášterního kostela v Panenském Týnci za nejmagičtější místo naší země? A co teprve hory, doly, byvší šlechtická sídla, staré domy nebo tajuplná podzemí tak či onak spojená přímo s peklem? O hradu Houska vprostřed kokořínských hvozdů kolují pověsti, při kterých stydne krev v žilách, nemluvě o Loretánském náměstí v Praze, zříceninách hradu Trosky v Českém ráji anebo Branišovském lese nedaleko Českých Budějovic…

Tales of Old Prague Houses - Magdalena Wagnerová
The air of times long past; the strong walls from bygone centuries; narrow portals; a host of house signs and a wealth of architectural styles: these are the houses of old Prague. Small palaces are full of great secrets, the stories hidden inside their walls having long helped shape the city's haracter and made it ever more popular. The magic of the Faust House; the Cubist beauty of the House of the Black Madonna; mysterious events connected with Sova's Mills; tales from the former prison in the Old Vogt's House; or the children's stories that once played out in the Storch house: all those and many more can be found within the pages of this book, dedicated to the old buildings that we often pass without a econd thought. The stories, both well-known and nearly forgotten, have a lot to teach out about our nation's great history; they can both entertain us and guide our steps as we wander through Prague's ancient, mysterious and beautiful streets.

Pozoruhodná místa Čech, Moravy a Slezska - Magdalena Wagnerová
Před dávnými časy vystoupil na horu Říp praotec Čech a pohlédl na naši budoucí vlast. Benediktinský klášter v městečku Sázava se stal centremslovanské liturgie a jako takový se nesmazatelně zapsal do naší historie. Kdysi dávno se v jižních Čechách prosadil šlechtický rod, který se stal nejmocnějším z mocných a jehož představitelé sídlili na hradech Rožmberk a Český Krumlov. V srdci Českého ráje dodnes ční ze země dva čedičové suky známé jako Panna a Baba, pozůstatky slavné minulosti rodu Vartemberků…Tato a mnohá další pozoruhodná místa, která najdete v této knize, by neměla uniknout naší pozornosti, ať už se za nimi vydáme s rodinou nebosami, ať už vyrazíme na výlet, za poznáním nebo za zábavou.

Tajemné vody Čech, Moravy a Slezska - Magdalena Wagnerová
Krajina bez vody jako by byla mrtvá; v nejlepším případě připomíná ptáka bez křídel, dům bez střechy, železnici bez pražců. A přitom stačí málo, jediná tůň, studánka, pramen, potok nebo říčka, o majestátních vodopádech, úchvatných jezerech, poklidných rybnících a hrdých řekách ani nemluvě. Všechny ty vodní kulisy dotvářejí český obraz s nezměrnou výpovědní hodnotou, charakterizují svůj kraj působivěji než jakákoli slova a často se stávají nezastupitelnými symboly. Nejedno malebné vodní zákoutí doplňuje místo nemalého historického významu, mnohá skrývají tajemství, snad temnou minulost, magickou sílu či nevšední příběh, jako by soupeřily o naši pozornost. V tomto souboji však není vítězů ani poražených, všechna ta místa, ať už jde o vody stojaté, průtočné, líné nebo dravé, se stávají naším vděčným cílem. Kdo během svých putování krajinou hledá něco víc než jen pohyb z místa A do místa B, je vždy znovu uchvácen, a jeho cesta se díky vodním klenotům stává dobrodružstvím s přidanou hodnotou, jež může bohulibě naplnit náš čas.

Stories from Old Jewish Prague - Magdalena Wagnerová
The long and thorny past of the Prague Jewish diaspora has left us with many monuments and even more stories that have won their unique place among other old Prague legends. When was the foundation stone of the Old New Synagogue laid? Was it really brought from Jerusalem by angels on their snow-white wings? Was the Golem the first artificial man in the world, or was he a man of flesh and bone, like any other mortal man? These and similar stories from the times when the Jewish ghetto began to form in the town, from the times when Josefov was thriving, and also from the times of the mediaeval Jewish pogroms, are contained in the book by M. Wagnerová mapping the history of the old Jewish Prague.

New Dress and Other Stories - Virginia Woolfová
As Mabel Waring takes off her cloak and steps into the drawing room of Clarissa Dalloway, she immediately realizes that something is not right: her pale-yellow silk dress, which she has had specially made for the occasion, is clearly old-fashioned, dowdy and out of place. Everyone seems to be looking at her in dismay or mocking her appearance. Crushed at once by her insecurity, Mabel is pervaded by a sense of selfloathing, and feels utter revulsion for the social world she has tried so hard to impress.Written in 1924 and perhaps intended for inclusion in Mrs Dalloway, a book Woolf was working on at the time, The New Dress is here accompanied by most of the short stories she published in her lifetime, as well as six posthumously published pieces that share the milieu and some of the characters of her celebrated novel. Together, they reveal their author as one of the finest practitioners in the field of short fiction.

Diaboliad and Other Stories: New Translation - Michail Bulgakov
In Bulgakov's 'Diaboliad', the modest and unassuming office clerk Korotkov is summarily sacked for a trifling error from his job at the Main Central Depot of Match Materials, and tries to seek out his newly assigned superior, responsible for his dismissal. His quest through the labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy takes on the increasingly surreal dimensions of a nightmare. This early satirical story, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, was first published in 1924 and incurred the wrath of pro-Soviet critics.Along with the three other stories in this volume, which also explore the themes of the absurd and bizarre, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic development of the author of The Master and Margarita.

M. Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds.Telling tales of violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings, his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters', and reader's, perceptions and beliefs off balance.

A woman is discriminated against at work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated, and loved, and then hated again. Written in Cho Nam-Joo's masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80. Contained in each of these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo's precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not even herself.

The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.This illustrated edition includes four of Susan Hill's scariest ghost stories: Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court and The Small Hand.

A World Apart and Other Stories - Hayes Kathleen - e-kniha
eBook: “It grew dark and a mist spread over the countryside like a curtain. We were at the Bohemian border. Customs control, shouting, the din of the station, and finally the train moved on with a monotonous drone. ‘It was right here that I met Teresa Elinson,’ Marta said, in the corner of the cozy compartment. I replied: ‘Who is Teresa Elinson? I don’t remember you ever mentioning her.’ ‘No, never. It was a kind of adventure. That time too the train hurtled into the dark, where red sparks flew and lights flashed, scattering in the mist...’” Thus begins the story by Růžena Jesenská that gives this book its name. In this anthology, Kathleen Hayes has selected and translated eight stories by Czech female authors at the turn of the 19th and 20th century: a period of female political emancipation and impressive literary development. All of the writers included in the present volume were recognized in their own day and constitute a cross-section of the literary styles of the period. Tilschová’s “A Sad Time” is written in a Naturalist style; Jesenská’s “A World Apart” presents themes and motifs that appealed to the Decadents. Malířová’s “The Sylph” is both diaristic and satirical, while Svobodová’s ironical “A Great Passion”, with its rural setting and folklore motifs, reminds one of the writings of Karel Jaromír Erben. Preissová’s short story may be read as a celebration of folk culture. Benešová’s “Friends” is interesting for its psychological presentation of a child’s point of view and its implicit criticism of anti-Semitism. The book is accompanied by the biographies of each author and an introduction by Kathleen Hayes.

Charles J. Stick and His Gardens - Jeff Poole, Sam Abell
A fascinating biographical monograph of Charles J. Stick, the Virginia-based landscape architect renowned for his historically and culturally based gardens filled with luxuriant bloomsCharles Stick lives and works in the Piedmont region of Virginia, a land of rolling hills and dramatic vistas filled with echoes of the early history of America. Stick draws on all of this in his designs, which refer back to the classical designs of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello and the University of Virginia. Stick focuses on residential gardens, drawing on the principles of Palladio, Charles A. Platt, and Russell Page to connect the architecture to the land and develop enticing pathways between the formal planting and the landscape beyond. This new book is the first to explore and bring together four major estates—Crab Tree Farm on the North Shore of Chicago, Illinois; Mount Sharon near Charlottesville, Virginia; Sleepy Cat Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut; and Waverley, a previously unpublished farm in Central Virginia—offering new insights into the design process and the intimacy of his client relationships. Ten featured smaller gardens also demonstrate the breadth of Stick’s creative response to topography and climate. The book’s glamorous package includes lush garden imagery from noted photographers, including Roger Foley and T.S. Elliott, together with Stick’s elegant pencil renderings and plans. Featuring gardens in prominent communities across the United States, including Isleboro, Greenwich, Southampton, Jupiter Island, Winnetka, and Dallas, as well as Stick’s home base in Virginia, and first-person commentary from Stick giving a unique personal dimension to the work, this volume is perfect for all garden enthusiasts and horticulturalists.

Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks - Patrick Radden Keefe
Patrick Radden Keefe's work has been recognised by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize and the Baillie Gifford in the UK, for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe observes in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.'Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist; spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain; chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant; and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism.The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event; collected here for the first time readers can see how his work forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.

A House Party in Tuscany: Recipes, Stories and Art From Arniano - Amber Guinness
Art meets food in this sublime celebration of thirty years of cooking and hosting at The Arniano Painting School in Tuscany 'A peculiar attribute of the landscape surrounding Arniano is the ever-changing light. Early in the morning, there is an extraordinary mist that sits in the valley and interweaves through the hills, allowing just the tops to show above the smoky clouds. These changes bring with them new moods and shadows, drawing our painters to different views and areas of the garden throughout the day. By the evening, everything has altered again, and there are often intense sunsets, bringing silhouettes from the trees and much darker, richer, olive colours.' There are many farmhouses in Tuscany, but few are quite so magical as Arniano. It is here, in this 18th-century podere, that Amber Guinness grew up and learned to cook. And it is here that she established The Arniano Painting School, a residential painting course and immersive art and food experience. 'As I look through the recipes and think about the common thread that binds them, I realise that they all exemplify a fundamental principle of Italian home cooking. Which is that simplicity - and keeping ingredients as close to their original form as possible - leads to the most delicious and rewarding food. The beauty of Italian cooking is that it is not about fancy sauces or preparation techniques. Rather, it is about bringing out the best in what you are cooking, through patience, constant tasting and the development of flavour - sometimes using nothing but some olive oil and salt.' Filled with recipes for classic dishes and cocktails, feast curation, seasonal menu suggestions and notes on an Italian pantry and wines, A House Party in Tuscany will transport you to the Tuscan countryside and bring the conviviality of Arniano to your table.

Physical and personality traits of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia - Jan Royt, Jan Bartoníček, Emanuel Vlček - e-kniha
eBook: On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles’ life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles’ birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap.

Myths & Legends
Creation myths, quests, the eternal battle between good and evil, these are some of the classic tales that feed the ravenous beast of modern culture. For many the classical traditions of the Greeks and the Romans occupy the imagination but the ancient world was a lively and fertile source of stories, reaching much further back than the pantheon of Zeus and his fellow gods. For the early civilisations, from the ancient Chinese to African tribal societies, stories were told to explain the origins of fierce weather, of unexplained disasters, of floods and earthquakes.Many traditions developed independently but still echoed similar themes in the natural human desire to understand the world around us. This new book brings to life the myths and legends of eight intriguing traditions: Native American, Chinese, Celtic, Scottish, Greek, Viking, Indian and African. With a cast of characters as broad and wide as the ancient river Styx the book is packed with the great themes of life: love, revenge, eternal conflict, the obsession with power and the everlasting the battle between the wily and the strong.This powerful new book is a dazzling collection of the most gripping tales, vividly retold.

Papíří - Magdalena Wagnerová, Ondřej Provazník
Pokud by někdo dokázal snést na jednu obrovskou hromadu všechny knihy světa, vyrostla by na Zemi nová hora. Ta hora by se s největší pravděpodobností jmenovala Papíří. Ale dříve, než by ji lovci senzací stačili zanést do nekonečných seznamů Guinnessovy knihy rekordů, zařadilo by se papíří do dalšího, neméně dlouhého seznamu, a tím by byl soupis ohrožených druhů. Protože co jiného je kniha, vnímáme-li ji jako nositele kulturního dědictví, artefakt, prostředníka mezi člověkem a literaturou? Alespoň tak vidí knihu Jiří Liberzeit, zdánlivě obyčejný knihovník, který stále věří, že v knihách může nalézat skryté sny. Také proto je čas od času nachází. A pak, ruku v ruce s těmito sny, se poprvé v životě odhodlá vystoupit ze své papíří izolace a dotknout se skutečného světa…

Polozapomenuté osudy obyvatel starých domů, významné chvíle objektů, jež dávno neplní svoji původní funkci, anebo naopak místa, která slouží svému účelu navzdory času, jenž uplynul - pražské chrámy, paláce, domy, parky, vinice, hřbitovy a jejich výjimeční obyvatelé jako věčná inspirace. Publikace doplněná černobílými fotografiemi autorky dokládá bohatou minulost i rozmanitou současnost Prahy jako města, které má co nabízet.

Ryba Chyba - Magdalena Wagnerová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Kdo tvrdí, že ryby jsou němé, ať zmlkne. Protože nezná rybu s velkým R! Někdo by ji považoval za chybu. Ne-li Chybu. Tahle příslušnice rybí říše je s plaváním na štíru a chodí po dně, jelikož má dvě nohy. Navíc nosí brýle, poněvadž ráda čte, a v kuchyni se otáčí jako michelinská šéfkuchařka. Jenže jestli to není přímo liška podšitá, měla by stejně jako ona pořádně za ušima, kdyby jí tedy na hlavě nějaké narostly. Tudíž se může klíďo píďo stát, že i bytost očividně netypická levou končetinou zachrání… třeba domovský rybník, který po odchodu zdejšího hastrmana úředně vyškrtli z chráněného Stříbropěnného seznamu. Nechutně podvodná byrokracie, ale co naplat. Je na hrdince, aby se křížem krážem harcovala tůněmi, jezery i bažinami, odhodlaně přemlouvala usedlé členy sněmu a nakonec jim zacpala ústa i žábry prvotřídní mňamkou. Horor? Sbírka receptů? Road-movie? Kdoví. Třeba při tom potká i spřízněnou ploutev! Výmluvná pohádková alegorie z českého rybníka. Nebo spíš rozchechtaná podvodní fraška s ráží gejzíru – a na humor je každý úředník krátký. „Svébytná pohádková knížka, jejíž živelné vypravěčství je kroceno pouze propracovanou kompozicí založenou na pohádkovém čísle dvanáct. Dětské čtenáře strhne navíc humorem i mystifikační hrou s konvencemi odborné literatury, zatímco jejich rodiče ocení především úsměvnou alegorii lidských ambicí, směřování, pachtění, špatných i správných rozhodnutí.“ – iliteratura.cz „Autorka se drží zásady, že dětští čtenáři jsou stejní jako ti odrostlejší. Proto v jejích textech nenajdeme žádné šišlání, patlání, lichocení, vnucování se dětskému čtenáři líbivými až podbízivými náměty, žádná laciná témata a vyumělkovaná prostředí. Její knihy srší situačním humorem, veselou nadsázkou, jiskří vtipnými obraty. Přitom nikdy nikde nechybí důležité sdělení, že nic není zadarmo a nic se nemá podceňovat, že se člověk (i malý) nemusí bát, jít si za svým cílem a cestou oslovit i nějaké ty potentáty, když je to potřeba.“ – kultura21.cz Ropušák jen pokýval hlavou a pravil, že jeden podpis opravdu není problém, ale vzhledem k tomu, že je čas oběda, musí se najíst. A to je problém, protože bažina vyschla, a tak mu není jasné, kdy se Ryba Chyba jeho podpisu dočká, jelikož on odchází někam, kde je voda, aby si mohl uvařit, neboť každé malé dítě ví, že kde není voda, vaří se jen velmi těžko. „Tak to tedy ne!“ vykřikla Ryba Chyba. „Netrmácela jsem se takovou dálku jenom proto, abych si tady sedla na kus ztvrdlého bahna a čekala do soudného dne. To vám radši uvařím sama.“ – ukázka z textu
