Eddé weaves together accounts of the genesis and content of Said’s work, his intellectual development, and her own reflections and personal recollections of their friendship, which began in 1979 and lasted until Said’s death in 2003. Throughout, she traces the connection between personal history and theoretical options, illuminating the evolution of Said’s thought. Both specialists of Said’s work and newcomers will find much to learn in this rich portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most important intellectuals.

The seminal work that has redefined our understanding of colonialism and empire, with a preface by the author''Stimulating, elegant and pugnacious'' Observer''Magisterial'' Terry EagletonIn this highly-acclaimed work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation - a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the ''otherness'' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West''s romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism.

Vzpomínky Edwarda Saida politologa, historika, novináře a spisovatele (1. 11. 1935 Jeruzalém – 25. 9. 2003 New York) popisují dětství a mládí v mezitím zmizelém arabském světě. S autentickým pocitem osamělosti a vyřazenosti líčí, jak navštěvoval britské a americké školy v Káhiře, kde byl Edward, Arab narozený v palestinském Jeruzalému spolužáky vnímán jako cizinec, a nedokázal mezi ně zapadnout. Frustrace a vnitřní nejistota jsou Saidovy dominantní pocity, které ho provázejí nejen při pobytu v Jeruzalémě, Káhiře, New Yorku a palestinském Dhúru, ale i v značně uzavřené rodině. Tam vládne patriarchální otec a emocionálně nevyrovnaná matka a rodiče nevědomky ambivalentní vztahy uvnitř rodiny i mezi Edwardem a vnějším světem ještě umocňují. Saidovo povědomí vyloučenosti a nepatřičnosti má však svůj zdroj zejména v jinakosti, způsobené jeho příslušností k palestinskému etniku a v pocitu historické křivdy spáchané na Palestincích.

‘I wanted to make this book—this memoir, this memory of the house of someone who had meant a great deal to me, to us all, and of a universe which was a sort of laboratory for what I was to become’. —Dominique NabokovPhotographer Dominique Nabokov was raised by her aunt Simone from the age of four, in a detached house surrounded by a modest garden in the French town of Compiègne. Those formative years would be a blend of everydayness—from picnics to car rides in the family’s Deux Chevaux—and of vivid daydreams propelled by her fascination with Hollywood and its stars. After her aunt’s death in 1999, Dominique decided to photograph the house, as it was left, to keep a record of the place where it all began and a memory of the person behind it. This book follows Dominique’s celebrated Living Rooms series, which intimately portrayed the interior worlds of the cultural nomenclature in New York, Paris, and Berlin, three pivotal cities for the photographer. Our publication of these volumes, born out of a series originally commissioned by the New Yorker in the ‘90s, renewed an appreciation for the French photographer.

A major work by one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century, The Question of Palestine was the first book to narrate the modern Palestinian experience in English. Edward Said’s project to ‘bring Palestine into history’ was unquestionably a success – there is no longer a question of whether Palestine had a history before colonization – and yet Palestinian self-determination is as distant as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and shaped by his own life in exile in New York, Said’s account of the traumatic national encounter of the Palestinian people with Zionism is still as pertinent and incisive today as it was on first publication in 1979.

Edmund Husserl vytyčil nové filosofické téma: pole samotné zkušenosti. Když Emmanuel Levinas hovoří o Touze a Druhém, jakým zkušenostem tato okázale pronášená slova vlastně odpovídají? Dá se ještě tvrdit, že se jejich domnělý obsah stává předmětem sledovatelné filosofické úvahy? A navazuje současná fenomenologie ve Francii na Husserla, nebo na Levinase? Takto lze schematicky shrnout jádro stále živé polemiky, kterou v roce 1991 rozvířil Dominique Janicaud publikací „Teologického obratu ve francouzské fenomenologii“. Ve stati „Otevřená fenomenologie“ z roku 1998 se pak Janicaud k tématu vrátil a upřesnil pozitivní jádro sporu úvahou o chápání fenomenologie u Heideggera, o vztahu fenomenologie a hermeneutiky a o vyhlídkách „minimalistické fenomenologie“, jež by se vzdala metafyzických nároků a využívala škály inspiračních zdrojů od Husserla, Sartra a Merleau-Pontyho po Wittgensteina, Dennetta a Deleuze. Dominique Janicaud (1937–2002) proslul především jako znalec francouzské recepce Heideggerova díla. Jeho stať o „teologickém obratu“ ve francouzské fenomenologii je všeobecně uznávána jako zásadní příspěvek k sebereflexi současného francouzského myšlení.

Edward III comes to life in a new version by playwright Octavio Solis. Written after England’s victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, Edward III follows the exploits of King Edward III and his son Edward, the Black Prince of Wales. England dominates on the battlefield as the play explores questions of kinghood and chivalry through the actions of King Edward and his son. Octavio Solis’s translation of the play provides all of the complexity and richness of the original while renewing the allusions and metaphors lost through time. This translation of Edward III was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

Edward the Confessor was the son of King Aethelred the Unready of the House of Wessex. The family was exiled to Normandy when the Danish invaded England in 1013 but, with the nation in crisis on the death of King Harthacnut twenty-nine years later, Edward was named King of England, restoring the throne to English rule. Often portrayed as a holy simpleton, Edward was in fact a wily and devious king. For most kings a childless marriage would have been an Achilles'' heel, but Edward turned it to his advantage. He cunningly played off his potential rivals and successors, using the prize of the throne as leverage. Though his reign was peaceful, his death would wreak havoc. Bloody wars were waged, two claimants were cut down and William the Conqueror earned his name. Edward''s posthumous reputation grew as stories were spread by the monks of his magnificent foundation, Westminster Abbey. The childless king was transformed into a chaste, pious and holy man. Miracles were attributed to him and he was credited with the King''s Touch - the ability to cure illnesses by touch alone. In 1161 he was canonised as Saint Edward the Confessor and to this day he remains ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A thrilling SOE spy novel by a former special forces officer who is 'poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' 'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent 'More George Smiley than James Bond, Catesby will delight those readers looking for less blood and more intelligence in their spy thrillers' Publishers Weekly Cambridge, 1941. A teenage William Catesby leaves his studies to join the war effort. Parachuted into Occupied France as an SOE officer, he witnesses remarkable feats of bravery during the French Resistance. Yet he is also privy to infighting and betrayal - some of the Maquisards are more concerned with controlling the peace than fighting the war. Double agents and informers abound, and with torture a certainty if he is taken, Catesby knows there is no one he can trust. Passed from safe house to safe house, with the Abwehr on his tail, he is drawn towards Lyon, a city of backstreets and blind alleys. His mission is simple: thwart an act of treachery that could shape the future of France.

Edward the Elder succeeded his father Alfred the Great to the kingdom of Wessex, but was largely overlooked by his contemporaries (at least in terms of the historical record) and to a greater or lesser extent by later historians. He is the forgotten son of Alfred. Edward deserves to be recognised for his contribution to Anglo-Saxon history and a new assessment of his reign is overdue. He proved equal to the task of cementing and extending the advances made by his father, and paved the way for the eventual unification of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the nation-state of England. The course of English medieval history after his death was a direct outcome of military successes during his reign.Edward was a ruthlessly efficient military strategist and commander, a strong and stable ruler and administrator, and the most powerful figure during the early decades of the tenth century. He and his famous sister Æthelflæd constructed fortresses to guard against Viking attacks and Edward conquered the southern Danelaw. He should be acknowledged as a great Anglo-Saxon king in his own right, and is entitled to stand comparison with every English monarch in the millennium that has passed since his reign.

Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II tells the story of ‘the greatest villain of the fourteenth century’, his dazzling rise as favorite to the king and his disastrous fall.Born in the late 1280s, Hugh married King Edward I of England’s eldest granddaughter when he was a teenager. Ambitious and greedy to an astonishing degree, Hugh chose a startling route to power: he seduced his wife’s uncle, the young King Edward II, and became the richest and most powerful man in the country in the 1320s. For years he dominated the English government and foreign policy, and took whatever lands he felt like by both quasi-legal and illegal methods, with the king’s connivance. His actions were to bring both himself and Edward II down, and Hugh was directly responsible for the first forced abdication of a king in English history; he had made the horrible mistake of alienating and insulting Edward’s queen Isabella of France, who loathed him, and who had him slowly and grotesquely executed in her presence in November 1326.

Vůně mají mnoho tajemství. Objevit je znamená vyrazit na cestu kolem světa. Hlava, srdce, základ. To jsou tři stěžejní součásti parfému, které se rozvoní v různou chvíli. Každou z těchto složek může tvořit hned několik vůní a celý parfém pak i desítky esencí. Úspěšné, mámivé a afrodiziakální kombinace jsou proto dobře střeženým tajemstvím velkých luxusních značek a globálního parfémářského byznysu. Kde se však berou samotné vůně? Dominique Roques už přes třicet let dodává parfémářům po celém světě vonné esence z více než sto padesáti surovin a padesáti zemí. A teď se chce podělit o příběh vůní, míst i lidí, kteří za úspěšnými parfémy stojí, ať už to jsou sadaři, sběrači, pěstitelé, dřevorubci, byznysmeni, nebo dokonce mafiáni. Roques ukazuje, na jak složitém a křehkém systému parfémářský průmysl stojí, kolik práce a úsilí je za každou esencí a jak vše dělat udržitelně a odpovědně. A při svém vyprávění vezme čtenáře na dobrodružnou výpravu od Andalusie po Laos, od Venezuely po Somálijsko, od prastarých metod až po nejmodernější technologie.

Francouzský autor ve svém díle přibližuje čtenářům komplikovanou osobnost světoznámého českého a francouzského romanopisce. Popis jeho neméně spletité umělecké, intelektuální, politické i literární pouti Jean-Dominique Brierre zasadil do kontextu československých dějin, rámovaného lety 1948 (únorový puč) a 1989 (sametová revoluce). Čerpal přitom ze zápisků, rozhovorů a doposud nezveřejněných svědectví, například ze vzpomínek Kunderova přítele Alaina Finkielkrauta a jeho překladatele Françoise Kérela. Pohled "zvnějšku" na naše dějiny vztažené k životu spisovatele, jenž stále budí zvědavost, ať v kladném, či záporném smyslu, je bonus, přidaný k dalšímu z mnoha Kunderových portrétů.

V listopadu 1947 rozhodla OSN o rozdělení Palestiny na židovský a arabský stát. Tento akt roztočil spirálu násilí, která přerostla v regulérní válku. Světoznámí autoři Larry Collins a Dominique Lapierre rozehrávají strhující drama, které literaturu faktu povýšilo na velký román. Historické události, jejichž tragické důsledky jsou dodnes tématem zpráv, ožívají na stránkách knihy jako v přímém přenosu. Dramatické okamžiky vedoucí ke vzniku židovského státu a krvavý boj za jeho nezávislost nahlížejí skrze mozaiku příběhů a individuálních dramat. Momenty radosti se střídají s momenty smutku, naděje se zoufalstvím, láska s násilím, hrdinství se zbabělostí, vítězství s porážkami… Za jedinečným plastickým portrétem boje o Jeruzalém byly roky práce. Stovky setkání - s králi, premiéry, generály, obyčejnými vojáky, osadníky, teroristy, pekaři… Tisíce prostudovaných dokumentů odhalily dosud nezveřejněné informace. Díky tomu může čtenář nahlédnout do komnat arabských panovníků, do utajených velitelských štábů židovské armády, do válečných zákopů, do synagóg, mešit i kostelů, za stěny bytů i kaváren. Tam všude byli lidé, kteří v onom velkém zápase sehráli svou roli. V zápase, který se pro Židy jevil beznadějný. A přece Izrael dokázal vytrvat. Měl něco, co nepříteli chybělo. Odhodlání.

Kniha francouzského významného politologa Dominique Moiseho (* 1946) se neotřelým způsobem zabývá otázkou emocí v dnešním světě, jež vysvětluje na podkladu současných nejpopulárnějších televizních seriálů (Hra o trůny, Dům z karet, Okupace, Homeland, ale i Panství Downton). Autor upozorňuje na to, že od 11. září 2001 zasahuje světová politika stále více nejen do našeho každodenního života, ale i do naší imaginace. Seriály se staly odkazem stejně tak kulturním jako politickým a skoro se přitom zdá, že jejich scenáristé se díky své intuici stávají lepšími analytiky současného světa než profesionální politologové. Na otázku, jaká emoce tedy nejvíce charakterizuje současnou společnost, Moise odpovídá: je to strach. Strach z barbarství a vítězství chaosu, jak jej zobrazuje Hra o trůny, strach z toho, že dosavadní řád a smysl světa mizí, jejž pociťují hrdinové Panství Downton, strach z terorismu, který je hlavním tématem série Homeland a konečně strach z ruské hrozby, již velmi realisticky zobrazuje norsko-švédský seriál Okupace.

Svým vstupem do světa báseň utváří prostor, v němž se ocitá. Prostřednictvím lyrických gest klade otázky, otevírá, volá, slibuje, dává či uchovává. Dominique Rabaté v sérii esejů ukazuje na příkladech autorů jako Baudelaire, Apollinaire, Frénaud, Bonnefoy nebo Michaux způsob, jímž tato gesta-pohyby napomáhají překračovat hranice řeči směrem k obrazovosti a navracejí jazyku jeho účinnost ve snaze dospět k něčemu, co stojí zcela mimo něj. Čtením básně se tak podílíme na dobrodružství, jež započal autor, když pokynul svou rukou směrem za obzor, o němž jsme si doposud mysleli, že je nedosažitelný.
