Co je Bůh? - Jacob Needleman
Významný americký filosof a religionista Jacob Needleman ve své dosud nejosobnější a autobiografické knize hledá způsob, jak lze v dnešní době rozumět náboženským idejím. Needleman čtenáře nejprve vezme do 50. let minulého století, kdy sám jako mladý student filosofie na Harvardské univerzitě nebyl ochoten přijímat žádnou religiozitu. Ale znepokojující setkání s uctívaným učitelem zenu D. T. Suzukim a učením G. I. Gurdžijeva spolu s jeho povoláním na katedru filosofie náboženství přimělo mladého akademika hlouběji se podívat na náboženské myšlenky, které kdysi považoval za mrtvé. V rámci tradičních náboženských textů objevil jádro filosofických i praktických myšlenek, vyzrálejších a náročnějších než cokoli, co kdy spojoval s judaismem, křesťanstvím či východními náboženstvími. Současně si Needleman uvědomil, že myšlenky a slova nestačí, neboť bez ohledu na jejich hloubku nemohou zabránit nenávisti, aroganci a zoufalství. S tímto vhledem autor začíná otevírat čtenáři nový druh porozumění: ke sdílení náboženské zkušenosti se musí změnit samotná povaha lidské zkušenosti, včetně samotné struktury našeho vnímání i našich našich myslí. V této knize - kterou lze vnímat jako současný příspěvek k filosofii náboženství i jako esejisticky pojaté "vyznání" - nám Needleman přibližuje význam a povahu této potřebné změny a ukazuje, jak naše současné zmatení ohledně účelu náboženství a konceptu Boha ...

Tony Blair - Steve Richards
''One of the shrewdest political commentators we have'' Andrew Marr‘Tony Blair was a giant amongst prime ministers and leaders of the Labour party: Steve Richards is a giant amongst political commentators. This riveting and persuasive book describes what happens when they meet head on’ Anthony SeldonWas Tony Blair a visionary, impatiently looking ahead, or a leader trapped by his past – Labour’s vote-losing 1980s and the dominance of Margaret Thatcher? Was the party’s move to the right under Blair necessary in order for them to win, or could they, after 18 years of Tory rule, have afforded to be more daring and more left wing than their leader wished to recognise?In Steve Richards’s short, provocative and highly engaging new biography, he argues that Blair was often the opposite of what we remember him being: perceived as a ‘moderniser’, he sought to strengthen the traditional institutions that partly define the UK, from the monarchy to the military; while to Margaret Thatcher’s public appreciation he cemented her economic legacy rather than moved on from it. And, while he was viewed as messianic over Iraq, he was, in fact, being characteristically expedient, clinging to the orthodoxy in which the UK stands shoulder to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Protivné decko - Selma Blair
Selma Blair stvárnila počas svojej hereckej kariéry mnoho úloh, k najznámejším patria naivka vo Veľmi nebezpečných známostiach a konzervatívna ľadová kráľovná v Pravej blondínke. Preslávila sa však aj v modelingovej sfére ako múza Karla Lagerfelda. Napokon sa v posledných rokoch stala predstaviteľkou komunity ľudí trpiacich sklerózou multiplex a jej cieľom sa stalo šírenie osvety. Predtým však Selmu poznali najmä ako... protivné decko. Vo svojom zábavnom, no taktiež emočne zdrvujúcom životopise rozpráva strhujúci príbeh dospievania a pátrania po vlastnej životnej pravde. Prvé, čo sa o sebe Selma Blair dozvedela, bolo, že je protivné, protivné decko a celé roky ostávala verná svojej reputácii: hrýzla sestry, klamala, ako sedemročná sa opíjala z vína počas Pesachu a správala sa teatrálne, aby bola stredobodom pozornosti. Hoci sa Selma nakoniec stala hollywoodskou herečkou a modelkou, nikdy sa celkom nezbavila temných mračien, ktoré sa jej z času na čas zbierali nad hlavou, a neopúšťalo ju ani presvedčenie, že jej život v sebe ukrýva veľkú záhadu. Často mávala pocit, že jej horia ruky, akoby sústavne dostávala elektrické šoky, a tak potajomky pila, aby tomu všetkému unikla. Selma v tomto nádhernom, miestami zdrvujúcom životopise odhaľuje svoju závislosť od alkoholu, oddanosť jej geniálnej a komplikovanej matke a chvíle, keď koketovala ...

Mean Baby - Selma Blair
Selma Blair has played many archetypal roles: gullible ingenue in Cruel Intentions. Preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde. Fire-starter in Hellboy. Muse to Karl Lagerfeld. Face of Chanel. Cover model. Advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. But before all of that, Selma was known best for being one thing: a mean baby. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Selma Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention.Although Selma went on to become a celebrated Hollywood actress and model, she could never quite shake the periods of darkness that overtook her, the certainty that there was a great mystery at the heart of her life.

Pro svůj revival gotického románu si její autor snad ani nemohl vybrat příhodnější místo. Postarší hotel uprostřed New Yorku, ve kterém se to jen hemží šváby, krysami a jinou havětí, se spoustou feťáků, úchylů a výstředních umělců, se stává v Dee Deeho podání scénou ztřeštěného příběhu, který si v ničem nezadá s laciným béčkovým hororem.

An adventurous, dazzling and original continent-sized history that brings South America's epic past and fascinating present to lifePatria tells an alternative history of South America, spanning thousands of miles and five centuries to the present. Looking beyond modern borders, Laurence Blair takes as his waymarks nine countries that can't be found on a map: vanished realms, half-imagined utopias and dismembered homelands.Blair's journey ranges from ancient Amazonian city-states and a rebel Inca dynasty in the jungle - via a Brazilian Wakanda that defied slavery, Bolivia's landlocked navy, and the Patagonian power that defeated the Spanish - to fall in with the African freedom fighters who marched over the Andes, and the New World Napoleon who led Paraguay to its ruin.Groundbreaking recent scholarship, striking archaeological discoveries and vivid eyewitness reporting - including encounters with drug lords, Indigenous leaders, refugees and former guerrillas - weave a story of survival, resistance and revolution, restoring South America to the centre of world history.

Nové vymezení středověké filosofie - John Deely
John Deely (1942-2017) nám líčí dějiny latinského myšlení, a to z hlediska vývoje sémiotiky, která je podle něj jedním ze základních přínosů latinské civilizace. Deely rozplétá její zápasy od doby Augustinovy přes scholastiku až do první poloviny 17. století, kdy latinský věk předává štafetu novověkému myšlení. Latinská křesťanská filosofie se zabývala především dějinami spásy, usilovala o charakterizaci Boha, světa a člověka v něm, přičemž šlo vždycky o poctivé úsilí vysoce vzdělaných lidí. Deely nabízí příběh, který do latinských staletí vnáší novou perspektivu, než na jakou jsme v novověku zvyklí. Teologické spory odsouvá stranou a současně nabízí možnost pochopit, o co šlo. Dokáže se držet tématu výkladu světa a pokud možno nezabředávat do zákrut středověké teologie či do politických dějin. Augustin z Hipponu jako hlavní otec-zakladatel latinské tradice zavedl do latinského myšlení pojem znaku (signum). Přitom se domníval, že jenom překládá řecký pojem sémeion. Avšak zatímco sémeion se vztahuje pouze k projevům přírodním, signum se vztahuje také k jazyku a lidskému nitru, jež rozhodujícím způsobem přispívají k rozumění. Naše představy, zkušenosti, paměťové stopy atd., věci existující ve světě i ty v naší mysli mohou vystupovat též jako znaky, tj. označovat něco jiného.

Poison Heart: Přežil jsem Ramones - Dee Dee Ramone, Veronica Kofmanová
Dee Dee Ramone, vlastním jménem Douglas Glenn Colvin (18. 9. 1951 - 5. 6. 2002), baskytarista a autor mnoha zásadních textů skupiny Ramones, která se hned po svém založení v roce 1974 stala jednou z nejvýznamnějších představitelů newyorského punku. Na její rebelské vizáži a jejích krátkých, ryčných a rychlých skladbách s chytlavými melodiemi a údernými, vtipnými texty měl velký podíl právě on. Ve své autobiografii vpravdě punkovým způsobem líčí svou životní, hudební i závislostní kariéru a popisuje hlavní milníky, jež formovaly jeho osud. Velkou část autobiografie věnuje svému dětství v poválečném Německu, spoluhráčům ze skupiny Ramones, vzpomínkám na přátele hudebníky, kteří zemřeli na drogovou závislost, i zamyšlení nad cenou slávy a popularity. "Lidi, co vstoupěj do kapely jako Ramones, nepocházej ze stabilního prostředí, protože to není civilizovaná forma umění. Punk rock pochází od rozhněvanejch dětí, který maj pocit, že jsou kreativní. Myslím, že právě proto byli členové Ramones známí tím, že shazovali telky ze střech činžáků na lidi dole na ulici."

Of The Night - Blair David
Selected and Edited with an Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury.Late in the eighteenth century authors began to write ‘Gothic’ stories as a way of putting literature back in touch with the irrational, the supernatural and the bizarre, which had been neglected in the ‘Age of Reason’.This superb new collection brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales from the period in which Gothic diversified into the familiar forms of the ghost- and-horror-story. Work by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell and M. R. James appears alongside that of anonymous writers from the start of the period and many lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories, like the haunting ‘The Lame Priest’ are ‘lost masterpieces’ and several have never been anthologised before. Together they cover the spectrum of Gothic story-telling – tales of madness and violence, of shape-shifters and spectres, that express some of the deepest fears of the human mind – insanity, sexuality, death and the often terrible power of the past to catch up with the present.In a lively, authoritative introduction David Blair provides fresh insights and a detailed ...

Memories of Heaven - Dee Garnes, Wayne Dyer, Dianna Hicks-Garnes
Dr Wayne W. Dyer and co-author Dee Garnes had often talked about how the ones who know the most about God are those who have just recently been wrapped in the arms of the Divine: our infants and toddlers. In fact, Dee had an interaction with her own young son that convinced her of his acquaintance with our Source of being. Curious about this phenomenon, Wayne and Dee decided to issue an invitation to parents all over the globe to share their experiences. The overwhelming response they received prompted them to put together this book, which includes the most interesting and illuminating of these stories in which boys and girls speak about their remembrances from the time before they were born. Children share their dialogues with God, talk about long-deceased family members they knew while in the dimension of Spirit, verify past-life recollections, give evidence that they themselves had a hand in picking their own parents and the timing of their sojourn to Earth, and speak eloquently and accurately of a kind of Divine love that exists beyond this physical realm.This fascinating book encourages all of us, not just parents, to take a much more active role in communicating with ...

Killing the Dead - John Blair
A riveting history of vampire panics across cultures and down through the millennia—and why killing the dead is better than killing the livingKilling the Dead provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the world’s most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteria—the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, John Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of society’s inexplicable terrors and anxieties. In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout history—in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in ...

They were at home there, but the same birds would soon begin journeying north to Europe, where their arrival marks the beginning of spring. Greenery recounts how Tim Dee tries to follow the season and its migratory birds, making remarkable journeys in the Sahara, the Straits of Gibraltar, Sicily, Britain, and finally by the shores of the Arctic Ocean in northern Scandinavia. On each adventure, he is in step with the very best days of the year - the time of song and nests and eggs, of buds and blossoms and leafing.''A masterpiece...

Neortodoxná - Deborah Feldmanová
Osobná spoveď mladej židovky o jej úniku z náboženskej sekty. Satmárska sekta, spoločenstvo odštiepené od chasidského judaizmu, ľudí zvonka láka svojím tajomnom. Deborah Feldmanová vo svojich memoároch odhaľuje, ako sa žije v osídlach náboženských tradícií, vo svete, ktorý si mlčanie a utrpenie cení viac než slobodu jednotlivca. Deborah vyrastala vo svete, kde sa všetko riadi podľa neúprosných pravidiel a zvykov, ktoré rozhodujú o všetkom, počnúc tým, čo si smie obliecť, s kým sa smie rozprávať, až po to, čo smie a nesmie čítať. Aj napriek týmto obmedzeniam z nej vyrástla nezávislá mladá žena, potajomky hltajúca príbehy silných literárnych hrdiniek Jane Austenovej a Louisy May Alcottovej, ktoré jej pomohli vytvárať si predstavu iného spôsobu života. Už ako tínedžerka sa ocitla v sexuálne i emocionálne nefunkčnom manželstve s mužom, ktorého takmer nepoznala. Jej vnútorné napätie medzi nenaplnenými túžbami a povinnosťou žiť tak, ako sa na vzornú židovku patrí, vyvrcholilo v momente, keď sa ako devätnásťročná stala matkou. Vtedy si naplno uvedomila, že - bez ohľadu na prekážky - kvôli sebe a svojmu synovi musí uniknúť. "Strhujúci príbeh odvážnej hrdinky... Neortodoxná je trýznivá, no povznášajúca. - Jeannette Wallsová, autorka knižného hitu Sklený zámok "Neodolateľné čítanie! Neortodoxná je jedinečným príbehom o dospievaní, ktorý osloví ...

The Position of Spoons - Deborah Levy
From twice Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy, a moving and revelatory collection exploring the muses that have shaped her life and work as a writerIn The Position of Spoons, Deborah Levy invites the reader into the interiors of her world, sharing her most intimate thoughts and experiences, as she traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her.

Each page draws upon Levy’s life in exalting ways, encapsulating the wonderful precision and astonishing depth of her writing, as she seamlessly shifts between and meditates on questions of mortality, language, suburbia, gender, consumerism and the poetics of every day living. From the child born in South Africa, to her teenage years in Britain, to her travels across the world as a young woman, each page is a beautiful, tender composition of the questioning self: a portrait of Deborah Levy’s writing life and intellectual vitality in all of its dimensions.

Unorthodox - Deborah Feldman
Now a Netflix original series! Unorthodox is the bestselling memoir of a young Jewish woman's escape from a religious sect, in the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel and Carolyn Jessop's Escape, featuring a new epilogue by the author. As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah's desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path-for herself and her son-to happiness and freedom.

Of Greed and Glory - Deborah G. Plant
“Much like the work of Michelle Alexander and Douglas Blackmon, Plant’s narrative traces connections among slavery, the Jim Crow regime and modern mass incarceration.†- Los Angeles Times A ground-breaking, personal exploration of America’s obsession with continuing human bondage from the editor of the New York Times–bestselling Barracoon. Freedom and equality are the watchwords of American democracy. But like justice, freedom and equality are meaningless when there is no corresponding practical application of the ideals they represent. Physical, bodily liberty is fundamental to every American’s personal sovereignty. And yet, millions of Americans—including author Deborah Plant’s brother, whose life sentence at Angola Prison reveals a shocking current parallel to her academic work on the history of slavery in America—are deprived of these basic freedoms every day. In her studies of Zora Neale Hurston, Deborah Plant became fascinated by Hurston’s explanation for the atrocities of the international slave trade.
