St Benedict''s inspirational work has been guiding Benedictine monks for fifteen centuries, and the Penguin Classics edition of The Rule of Benedict is translated with an introduction and notes by Carolinne White.Founder of a monastery at Monte Cassino, between Rome and Naples, in the sixth century, St Benedict intended his Rule to be a practical guide to Christian monastic life. Based on the key precepts of humility, obedience and love, its aim is to create a harmonious and efficient religious community in which individuals can make progress in the Christian virtues and gain eternal life. Here, Benedict sets out ideal monastery routines and regulations, from the qualities of a good abbot, the twelve steps to humility and the value of silence to such every day matters as kitchen duties, care of the sick and the suitable punishment for lateness at mealtimes. Benedict''s legacy is still strong - his Rule remains a source of inspiration and a key work in the history of the Christian church.Carolinne White''s accessible translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Benedict''s teachings, what is known of his life, and the influence and spread of his Rule.

With typical eloquence and wisdom, in The Way of St Benedict Rowan Williams explores the appeal of St Benedict’s sixth-century Rule, showing it to be a document of great relevance to present day Christians and non-believers at our particular moment in history.For over a millennium the Rule – a set of guidelines for monastic conduct – has been influential on the life of Benedictine monks, but has also served in some sense as a ‘background note’ to almost all areas of civic experience: artistic, intellectual and institutional.The effects of this on society have been far-reaching and Benedictine communities and houses still attract countless visitors, testifying to the appeal and continuing relevance of Benedict’s principles.As the author writes, the chapters of his book, which range from a discussion of Abbot Cuthbert Butler’s mysticism to ‘Benedict and the Future of Europe’, are ‘simply an invitation to look at various current questions through the lens of the Rule and to reflect on aspects of Benedictine history that might have something to say to us’.With Williams as our guide, The Way of St Benedict speaks to the Rule’s ability to help anyone live more fully in harmony with others whilst orientating themselves fully to ...

Our churches are beset by challenges. From the outside, they are beset by a rapidly secularizing culture. From the inside, they''re being hollowed out by the departure of young people and a watered-down spirituality. Many believers are blind to it, and their churches are too weak to resist. Those who notice are often frightened, and wonder what went wrong and what they can do about these trends.The Benedict Option is a guide for Christians under siege - a strategy that draws on the authority of scripture and the wisdom of the ancient church. The goal: to embrace exile from mainstream culture and construct a resilient counterculture. In this visionary book, Dreher urges today''s faithful to be new St Benedicts, building up local churches, creating new schools and taking up practices that can help them face today''s world with confidence.Horrified by the moral chaos following Rome''s fall, St Benedict - a sixth-century monk - retreated to the forest and created a new way of life.

In Iraq, only one in ten troops is a woman, and she often serves in a unit with few other women or none at all. This isolation, along with the military''s deep-seated hostility toward women, causes problems that many female soldiers find as hard to cope with as war itself: degradation, sexual persecution by their comrades, and loneliness, instead of the camaraderie that every soldier depends on for comfort and survival.

MacDonald Harris''s posthumously published novel is set in the 1920''s against a backdrop of airships, mysticism, erotic love and a Europe that is picking itself up after WW1. The League of Nations is a giant airship constructed by the same factory in Germany that made the Zeppelins, and is owned by Moira, the leader of a semi-religious cult. The captain is Georg von Plautus, a Prussian WW1 Zeppelin commander who harbours a terrible secret from a bombing raid over London in 1916. Moira''s followers have embarked with her on an extraordinary voyage in this airship to a place that she calls Giaconda. The novel explores the lives of these characters on board taking the reader through a heady mix of sexual entanglements, metaphysics, and Blavatsky and Swedenborg influenced seances.

With 13 children of his own clamouring for bedtime stories it isn''t surprising that author George MacDonald discovered he had a gift for composing fairy tales. But these were fairy tales with a difference. At the Back of the North Wind, the first to be published, became a Victorian favourite and marked something of a milestone in children''s fiction. While owing a debt to Hans Andersen, Dickens and Kingsley, MacDonald created a distinctive imaginary world existing in parallel with the grim social realities of mid-19th-century England. "A fairy tale is not al allegory," he once remarked. It is, of course, but the trick was to disguise it, to entertain the reader as well as instruct, leaving them to draw a moral if they pleased, or else simply to enjoy the fantasy. Children for over a hundred years have been enchanted and moved by the story of Nanny the crossing sweeper, her lame friend Jim, and above all Diamond, the poor coachman''s son, whose life is transformed by a brief glimpse of a beautiful country "at the back of the north wind".

The life of Scottish watercolourist William Alister Macdonald (1861-1956) contained more mystery and intrigue than a novel by the authors he knew as friends. Mid-life in the early 1900s he painted widely across Britain, Europe and North Africa. Aged sixty, abandoning his wife and son in London, he settled in Tahiti, where he befriended authors Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall and Zane Grey. Critical acclaim of his work peaked in 1935 with the discovery of over 120 watercolours capturing London streets and lost panoramas from the Thames, its river life and trade at the turn of the last century, now part of the Wakefield Collection at LondonÂ’s Guildhall. Yet in Tahiti his reputation has endured with appreciation of his timeless, exquisite landscapes and studies of paradise. This first fully illustrated biography of MacdonaldÂ’s life provides a long-overdue opportunity for his European and Polynesian work to be reappraised and his story told.

Kniha Kulturní vzorce patří k nejznámějších klasickým dílům kulturní antropologie. Je zároveň teoretickým základem pro pochopení kulturního relativismu. K tomu autorka vybírá tři extrémní příklady kultur – pueblanský kmen Zuňiů z Nového Mexika, obyvatele ostrova Dobu poblíž Nové Guineje a západokanadské indiány Kwakiutly. Na jejich příkladech se snaží ukázat, že každá kultura má své morální a estetické prvky, jimž můžeme porozumět pouze tehdy, když budeme na kulturu nahlížet jako na celek a z hlediska jí samé. Každá kultura je zároveň autorkou vylíčena tak mistrně, že kniha je poutavou četbou i pro naprosté laiky. Ruth Benedict (1887–1948) byla americká kulturní antropoložka, představitelka kulturního relativismu. Její přístupný a popularizační způsob psaní přispěl k tomu, že se v 60. letech stala téměř kultovní autorkou různých studentských hnutí. Česky vyšla i její kniha Chryzantéma a meč (2013).

Portrét jedné z největších ikon světového sportu, který nabízí mnohem víc než jen řadu senzačních odhalení. Kniha je dílem dvojice renomovaných amerických investigativních novinářů – Jeffa Benedicta z časopisu Sports Illustrated a jedenáctinásobného držitele ceny Emmy Armena Keteyiana – kteří strávili tři roky rozsáhlými rešeršemi a rozhovory s více než 250 lidmi, aby sepsali nejrozsáhlejší, nejobjevnější a nejfundovanější knižní biografii golfisty Tigera Woodse. Díky mimořádně pečlivé přípravě autoři objevili nové, intimní a překvapivé podrobnosti o muži ukrytém pod nánosem mýtů. Portrét jedné z největších ikon světového sportu však nabízí mnohem víc než jen řadu senzačních odhalení. Benedict a Keteyian podrobně zmapovali Woodsův život od okamžiku, kdy se narodil z rasově smíšeného svazku afroamerického otce a thajské „tygří mámy“, s cílem poskytnout co nejserióznější a nejobjektivnější pohled na lidskou bytost uvězněnou ve výtvoru svých rodičů.

Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer Travel opens our minds to the world; it helps us to embrace risk and uncertainty, overcome challenges and understand the people we meet and the places we visit. But what happens when we arrive home? How do our experiences shape us? The Kindness of Strangers explores what it means to be vulnerable and to be helped by someone we've never met before. Someone who could have walked past, but chose not to. This is a collection of stories by accomplished travellers and adventurous souls like Sarah Outen, Benedict Allen, Ed Stafford and Al Humphreys, who have completed daring journeys through challenging terrain, adventuring from the Calais Jungle to the Amazon, from Land’s End to the Gobi Desert, from New Guinea to Iran and many other places in between. Each has a story to tell of a time when they were vulnerable, when they were in need and a kind stranger came to their rescue. These are stories that make our hearts grow, stories that will restore our faith in the world and remind us that, despite what the media says, the world isn't a scary place – rather, ...
