Kolekce devatenácti esejů z pera významných historiků dokládá rozmanitost vědeckých přístupů. Jejich práce s historickými prameny, základními kameny bádání, je kombinována s etickým i estetickým rozhodováním, které tvoří nezpochybnitelnou součást jejich tvorby. Ta je často překvapující - nejen pro čtenáře, ale pro ně samotné. Představuje totiž velké intelektuální dobrodružství. Nemohou si vymýšlet prameny, nemohou si stanovit svévolná pravidla, zápletky a rozuzlení, jako to může udělat romanopisec. Mohou však napsat vědecké dílo, které je výsledkem tvůrčího přístupu.

Tato originální publikace představuje autory, kteří nepatří k jedné generaci a nemají stejnou exilovou zkušenost, ale spojuje je inspirativní vzpomínka na texty, na něž v minulosti narazili a které je výrazně ovlivnily. Ba co víc, které se staly průvodci jejich dalšího života, tedy "knihami jejich srdce". Texty, jež jsou předmětem tohoto esejistického vzpomínání, nejsou výhradně exilové v tom smyslu, že by je napsali lidé, kteří většinou nedobrovolně opustili vlast. Jsou to publikace vydané exilovými nakladatelstvími, působícími mimo Československo v období 1948 až 1989, ať již byly napsány autory působícími doma nebo v zahraničí. Vzpomínky na význačné tituly jsou do jisté míry výrazem vděčnosti, neboť exilová nakladatelství a vydavatelství byla sice různá - v době svého trvání, ve svém obsahovém záběru i v kvalitě své produkce - každé z nich však odvedlo práci, jež zůstává obdivuhodná. Tento drobný výbor může být tedy chápán jako výraz poděkování těm, kteří se přičinili o to, aby exilové knihy v češtině vznikaly a aby se dostávaly ke čtenářům. Editoři Jiří Hanuš a Jiří Suk dali autorům (známým spisovatelům, historikům, sociálním a literárním vědcům, filozofům i žurnalistům) toto zadání: měli napsat kratší a čtivý esej, vystihnout přitom obsahový a estetický přínos zvoleného titulu s cílem připomenou ...

In this book Rowlands interrogates the theological and philosophical foundations of the ''Quest'' for the historical Jesus, from Reimarus to the present day, culminating in a call for greater metaphysical transparency and diversity in the discipline.This multidisciplinary approach to historical Jesus research, drawing on historiography, sociology, philosophy, and theology, makes a significant and original contribution to the field. Part I outlines the implicit role of metaphysical presuppositions in historical methodology by examining the concept of an historiographical worldview. Part II provides an overview of the ''Quest'' for the historical Jesus, demonstrating that the disparate historiographical worldviews operative in the ''Quest'' evidence a particular shared characteristic, in that they might accurately be described as ‘secular.’ Rowlands’ study concludes with a call for a greater plurality and openness regarding the philosophical and theological presuppositions at work in historical Jesus research.The Metaphysics of Historical Jesus Research is of interest to students and scholars working on New Testament studies and historical Jesus research.

Kniha pojednává o dvou pozoruhodných, i když divadly poněkud opomíjených Janáčkových operách Osud a Výlety páně Broučkovy. Obě díla přišla na svět po dlouholeté skladatelově práci na jeho snad nejslavnější opeře Její pastorkyňa, během níž nalezl pro realistický námět adekvátní a zcela osobitý hudební jazyk, postavený na mluveném projevu. Ve svých následujících operách pak Janáček hledal nové způsoby, jak dále rozvíjet své skladatelské principy a užít je ve spojení s různorodými náměty. Právě období vzniku oper Osud a Výlety páně Broučkovy tak patří k Janáčkovým nejzajímavějším tvůrčím, ale i osobním životním etapám. Tyto kompozice tvoří spojnici mezi Její pastorkyní a vrcholnými hudebnědramatickými díly z období Janáčkova "velkého stáří", v nichž skladatel po dlouhé tvůrčí cestě dospěl k dokonalé shodě slova, myšlenky a hudby. Kniha o operách Osud a Výlety páně Broučkovy přináší o této nesnadné cestě svědectví v podobě mnoha informací o skladatelových inspiracích, zvažovaných námětech ke zhudebnění, neslavné spolupráci s literáty, Janáčkových setkáních s hudebními díly, která mu otevřela oči, ale také o vyrovnání se se ztrátou milované dcery Olgy.

''I had rather die in the adventure of noble achievements, than live in obscure and sluggish security.''One of the most diverse, prolific, and maverick intellectuals of her time, Margaret Cavendish is known for critiquing a wide range of early modern cultural and philosophical beliefs. While she was the first British woman to publish several philosophical treatises, she was also profoundly interested in literature and writing in nearly every available genre; indeed, with her wide-ranging, complex, and often unorthodox ideas, she was a pioneer of what today would be referred to as science fiction.In this edition Lisa Walters brings together well-known and popular works such as The Blazing World, alongside lesser-known poems and prose pieces, like The Ambitious Traitor and The Unnatural Tragedy. The introduction discusses the wide-ranging concepts that appear in the writings, from gender and cross-dressing, to science and the nature of the universe, and provides a fresh insight on Cavendish''s proclivity for literary experimentation and innovation.
