Audiokniha: BRETAŇSKÁ SŮL A PERFIDNÍ INTRIKY. Na rozlehlé solné zahrady na poloostrově Guérande se snáší soumrak. Vzduch je prosycen fialkovou vůní fleur de sel, o níž místní obyvatelé tvrdí, že často vyvolává halucinace. Podobný pocit má i komisař Georges Dupin, když na něj někdo začne nečekaně střílet. Přitom si chtěl v salinách jen prohlédnout několik záhadných sudů, na které ho upozornila Lilou Brevalová, známá novinářka. Ale pak zmizí beze stopy i Lilou… Neodolatelný kriminální příběh a současně povinná četba pro všechny, kdo chtějí strávit dovolenou v Bretani… Napětí a vzrušení v kombinaci s ústřicemi, tradičními venkovskými slavnostmi, těžko vyslovitelnými bretaňskými jmény a dalšími pozoruhodnostmi. Třetí případ pro komisaře Dupina, milovníka tučňáků a kofeinu, rodilého Pařížana za trest přeloženého do Bretaně – na konec světa.

Audiokniha: NEODOLATELNÝ KRIMINÁLNÍ ROMÁN Z LETNÍ BRETANĚ. V malebné pobřežní vesničce je jednoho horkého červencového rána nalezen zavražděný stařičký majitel slavného hotelu. Komisař Georges Dupin, Pařížan přeložený za trest na konec světa, se případu ujímá a v bretaňské letní idylce odhaluje nečekané propasti… Poutavý kriminální román okořeněný jemným humorem, a tak působivý, že čtenář dostane chuť sám se projít malebnými uličkami rybářské vesnice a dýchat slaný mořský vzduch, který sem vane od Atlantiku. První případ pro komisaře Dupina, milovníka tučňáků a kofeinu, rodilého Pařížana za trest přeloženého do Bretaně – na konec světa. Jednoho horkého červencového rána dojde v pitoreskní rybářské vesnici Pont Aven k záhadné vraždě. Pierre-Louis Pennec, stařičký majitel legendárního hotelu Central, v němž bydlela řada slavných umělců včetně Gauguina, byl zavražděn několika bodnými ranami. Kdo měl spadeno na 91letého starce a proč? Jaké události bezprostředně předcházely tomuto zdánlivě absurdnímu zločinu? Když je brzy nato objevena na mořském břehu další mrtvola, Georges Dupin začíná tušit, že tu bude mít co do činění s případem větších rozměrů. Zatímco tlak veřejnosti vzrůstá a umínění vesničané zarytě mlčí, komisař Dupin si razí cestu houštinou bretaňských poměrů a dostává se na stopu podivuhodného tajemství… Jean-Luc BANNALEC se narodil v roce 1967 v ...

Audiokniha: DALŠÍ DETEKTIVNÍ PŘÍPAD Z LETNÍ BRETANĚ OKOŘENĚNÝ HUMOREM, VENKOVSKÝM KOLORITEM A MÍSTNÍMI KULINÁŘSKÝMI SPECIALITAMI. Na jednom z ostrovů Glénan, vzdáleném deset námořních mil od bretaňského pobřeží, jsou objevena tři mrtvá těla, zjevně vyplavena přílivem po silné bouřce. Když jsou nalezeny i zbytky plachetnice, jež v noci narazila na skalnaté útesy, vše ukazuje na nešťastnou náhodu a tragické neštěstí. Pitva ale v tělech dvou mrtvol prokáže přítomnost omamných látek – a tím je zřejmé, že šlo o dobře promyšlenou vraždu. Vyšetřování zavede komisaře Dupina hluboko do historie ostrovů a jejich svérázných obyvatel, odkud vytěží dramatickou jistotu. Druhý případ pro komisaře Dupina, milovníka tučňáků a kofeinu, rodilého Pařížana za trest přeloženého do Bretaně – na konec světa Deset námořních mil od Concarneau: Legendami opředené souostroví Glénan působí svými bílými písečnými plážemi a křišťálově průzračnou vodou jako karibský ráj – dokud jednoho krásného květnového dne moře nevyplaví na břeh tři mrtvoly. To komisaři Dupinovi ještě chybělo: cesta ve vratkém člunu hned po ránu, nervy drásající prefekt, málo kávy a žádný záchytný bod. Kdo jsou ti tři mrtví na pláži? Stali se obětí prudké noční bouřky? Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že se utopili. Ale když vyjde najevo, že jedním z nich je protřelý podnikatel ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jen o něco později obdrží komisař Dupin zprávu s legendami opředených kopců Monts d’Arrée, z kraje pověstí o vílách a ďáblovi. Také tam byl nalezen mrtvý člověk, jehož identitu policie nezná. Když komisař zjistí, že stopy vedou k mafii, keltským bratrstvům a záhadným druidským kultům, začne tušit,že tohle bude jeho nejbizarnější případ... Kdo si přečte Bannaleca, pocítí naléhavou potřebu po dobrodružství. Jeho podivínský komisař si spontánně získává naše sympatie, takže se rázem sami cítíme jako Francouzi.

International bestselling author Jean-Luc Bannalec’s Commissaire Georges Dupin and his team head to Breton paradise in An Island of Suspects.An August heat wave has all of Brittany in its grasp, and the only chance to cool down for Commissaire Georges Dupin is his daily swim in the ocean. Until one morning his routine is interrupted because a body has been found in the harbor with clear signs of foul play. Patric Provost was from one of the long-established families on the island of Belle-Île, Breton’s biggest and most famous island. Provost owned and operated a company dealing in an island delicacy: the famous Belle-Île-sheep. As Bretons say, the sheep season themselves while they’re eating, grazing on salty, iodine-rich meadows, full of wild herbs, directly by the ocean. In Dupin’s culinary ranking, this lamb comes right behind entrecôte. And that’s saying something.Dupin has barely stepped foot on the utopia-like island before it comes to light that Provost was not well liked. And someone was blackmailing him for one million euros, the deadline for payment the night before Provost’s body was caught on the buoy. Everyone on the island has a motive. Any one of them could be the killer.

Jean-Luc Nancy (*1940) patří mezi nejvýznamnější současné francouzské filosofy. Jeho stěžejní titul, vydaný poprvé v 80. letech, se snaží pojmenovat a obhájit původní význam pojmu, z něhož se v moderní společnosti stal jen svazek mezi na sobě nezávislými jedinci. V titulním eseji rozvíjí své úvahy v polemice s Georgem Bataillem a Martinem Heideggerem, v dalších textech se věnuje například konstitutivnímu významu mýtu nebo tomu, co je historie. Společnost pro Nancyho není sociální, ekonomický ani politický koncept, uvažuje o společné povaze bytí tak, jako by existence byla neoddělitelná od jejího podílu na tomto "spolu". V nejlepších tradicích francouzské filosofie 20. století se Nancy pohybuje na samé hranici toho, co je v postmoderně možné formulovat.

In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon’s presidential programme. Now, the People! details his vision of revolution in our time. In this book, Mélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis-ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens’ revolution.In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.

Jean-Luc Marion has long endeavored to broaden our view of truth. In this illuminating new book—his deepest engagement with theology to date—Marion proposes a rigorous new understanding of human and divine revelation in a deeply phenomenological key.Although today considered the central theme of theology, the concept of Revelation was almost entirely unknown to the first millennium of Christian thought. In a penetrating historical deconstruction, Marion traces the development of this term to the rise of metaphysics from Aquinas through Suárez, Descartes, and Kant; formalized into an epistemological framework, this understanding of Revelation has restricted philosophical and theological thinking ever since. To break free from these limits, Marion takes hints from theologians including Barth and Balthasar while mobilizing the phenomenology of givenness to provide a rigorous new understanding of revelation as a mode of uncovering. His extensive study of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures unfolds a logic of Trinitarian phenomenality, worked out in conversation with Basil, Augustine, Hegel, Schelling, and others, that ultimately transforms our very notions of being and time.The result is precisely what we have come to expect from this acclaimed philosopher: masterful historical scholarship working in tandem with daring originality.

A new edition of John Berger and Jean Mohr’s classic investigation into the nature of photography and what makes it so different from other art forms''One of the world’s most influential art critics … Berger sees clearly with fresh surprise yet profound understanding'' Washington TimesIn one of the most eloquent accounts of photography ever devised, the writer John Berger and the photographer Jean Mohr set out to understand the fundamental nature of photography and how it makes its impact. Asking a range of questions – What is a photograph? What do photographs mean? How can they be used? – they give their answers in terms of a photograph as ‘a meeting place where the interests of the photographer, the photographed, the viewer and those who are using the photography are often contradictory’. From these beginnings they develop a theory of photography that has at its centre the form’s essential ambiguity, arguing that photography is totally unlike a film and has nothing to do with reportage. Rather, it constitutes ‘another way of telling’.The unique combination of critic and photographer results in a work that moves beyond the landmarks established by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag to establish a new ...

The Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece was one of the most important Gothic artists of the international style art in the European context. Scholarly literature, both Czech and foreign, presents various ideas concerning ascribing particular pieces of art to this unknown figure, the date of their origin and their chronology, artistic ideological points of departure of his work and the reconstruction and origin of the "Třeboň altarpiece." Art historian Jan Royt's extensive scientific monograph on the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece is an attempt to answer these questions. The introductory chapters outline the historical events and development of painting in Europe and in Bohemia in the last third of the 14th century, including the spiritual background of the time. The central part is devoted to the artistic and iconographic analysis of works of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece and works from his workshop and circle as well as importance in the formulation of the "beautiful style." The scholar focused also on the various hypothetical variants of the hypothetical reconstruction of the altarpiece (including drawings). The book closes with a detailed and critical overview of art historians' views of the work of this medieval artist. The appendix, including illustrations, summarizing ...

We inhabit a time of crisis—totalitarianism, environmental collapse, and the unquestioned rule of neoliberal capitalism. Philosopher Jean Vioulac is invested in and worried by all of this, but his main concern lies with how these phenomena all represent a crisis within—and a threat to—thinking itself.         In his first book to be translated into English, Vioulac radicalizes Heidegger’s understanding of truth as disclosure through the notion of truth as apocalypse. This “apocalypse of truth” works as an unveiling that reveals both the finitude and mystery of truth, allowing a full confrontation with truth-as-absence. Engaging with Heidegger, Marx, and St. Paul, as well as contemporary figures including Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Žižek, Vioulac’s book presents a subtle, masterful exposition of his analysis before culminating in a powerful vision of “the abyss of the deity.” Here, Vioulac articulates a portrait of Christianity as a religion of mourning, waiting for a god who has already passed by, a form of ever-present eschatology whose end has always already taken place. With a preface by Jean-Luc Marion, Apocalypse of Truth presents a major contemporary French thinker to English-speaking audiences for the first time. Â

This new book by Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre is a highly original analysis of the two key processes that shape the contemporary public sphere. On the one hand, there are the processes of news provision which select out a range of facts and events and bring them to the attention of a large number of people who have not, for the most part, experienced them directly. On the other hand, there are processes of politicization which problematize the facts made known by news provision and treat them as issues that concern citizens and the state. Politicization is typically characterized by a diversity of interpretations which, in turn, gives rise to a proliferation of commentary, discussion, polemic and division. In order to study these processes and their interaction, Boltanski and Esquerre draw on a vast repository of user comments left on the site of a major daily newspaper, as well as the thousands of comments posted on an online video site. They uncover what is sayable by comparing published comments with those deleted by moderators. They capture opinions in the course of their formation, rather than describing views which have long become cemented; these are often reflexive and wise, deriving ...

Jean Genet, French playwright, novelist and poet, turned the experiences in his life amongst pimps, whores, thugs and other fellow social outcasts into a poetic literature, with an honesty and explicitness unprecedented at the time. Widely considered an outstanding and unique figure in French literature, Genet wrote five novels between 1942 and 1947, now being republished by Faber & Faber in beautiful new paperback editions.Miracle of the Rose was Jean Genet''s second novel, composed in 1943 while incarcerated in prison. The novel is informed by Genet''s memories of confinement, both in prison and the Mettray reformatory where he spent three years from the age of 15. The central figure of the novel is Harcamone, whom Genet first encountered at Mettray, and who resurfaces in an adult prison -- now a murderer and, in the world-turned-upside-down of Genet''s vision, a quasi-divine figure.Includes a new introduction by Terry Hands.

Riding on the edge. The daredevil life of the Wall of Death drivers in the motordrome. Donald Ganslmeier and his colleagues on the Wall of Death of the motordrome are amongst the last of their kind. Their art is threatened with extinction. The photographer Florian Holzherr has created a powerful memorial to the action-packed life around the boards that signify the world. His black-and-white photos of the daredevil motorcyclists and the accompanying texts show the myth of the Wall of Death in a fascinating new way. For several years the Munich photographer Florian Holzherr accompanied the steep-wall motorcyclists around Donald Ganslmeier with his analogue camera while setting up the Wall of Death and riding and then dismantling it again, and then in their lives on the road. The result is images which show the story of an artistry that is threatened with extinction. In impressive, unfiltered black-and-white pictorial language accompanied by powerful texts, the volume enables the reader to learn of the fascination and passion, and also of the risk, as it provides an insight into the lives of the artists beyond the show.

''A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told'' Sunday TelegraphRoger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers'' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, ''sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms'', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore.PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS''It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman.

''no one pitied him as he would have liked to be pitied''As Ivan Ilyich lies dying he begins to re-evaluate his life, searching for meaning that will make sense of his sufferings. In ''The Death of Ivan Ilyich'' and the other works in this volume, Tolstoy conjures characters who, tested to the limit, reveal glorious and unexpected reserves of courage or baseness of a near inhuman kind. Two vivid parables and ''The Forged Coupon'', a tale of criminality, explore class relations after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the connection between an ethical life and worldly issues. In ''Master and Workman'' Tolstoy creates one of his most gripping dramas about human relationships put to the test in an extreme situation.

Our first reaction to the Spider may be one of revulsion or fear⁠. To many of us, she is a distasteful creature destined to be crushed underfoot. But here in this book we meet the Spider as Fabre did-industrious builder, talented weaver, wily hunter, ill-fated mate. His observations, often surprising or amazing, on the lifecycle of the Spider are drawn from more than fifty years of studying and caring for them. Yes, the Spider is well worth studying.Jean-Henri Fabre is considered by many to be the father of modern entomology. He lived from 1823-1915, recording his research and reflections in the ten-volume work Souvenirs Entomologiques, from which the contents of The Life of the Spider have been compiled. The first volume of this set was written in 1879, he finished the tenth, and final, volume in 1909 when he was 86. The Life of the Spider was first published in 1912. Clement B. Davis added 16 full-page black and white drawings in 1919, which are included in this new and unabridged edition.

What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence" - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's "calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se.
