Rodrigo Raubíř a neohrožený Špunt - Michael Ende, Wieland Freund

Špunt je malý chlapec, který neví, co je strach. Potulný život loutkáře ho nebaví a nudí. Od rodičů stále slyší, co musí a nesmí, že něco nejde a že se něco nedělá. Sní o dobrodružném životě plném nebezpečí. A tu se jednoho dne dozví, že nedaleko něj žije rytíř Rodrigo Raubíř, kterého se bojí celé široké daleké okolí a příkopy jeho hradu lemují ohlodané vybělené kosti. Malý Špunt se rozhodne okamžitě: uteče z domova a vstoupí do Rodrigových služeb. Kniha o odvaze a strachu a o tom, že ne vždy jsou věci takové, jaké se na první pohled mají zdát, je určena především čtenářům od 7 do 10 let.

Nekonečný příběh - Michael Ende - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Když nesmělý Bastián Balthazar Bux jednoho dne prchá před spolužáky, kteří ho šikanují, rozhodne se před nimi schovat v antikvaritátu. V bezpečí za dveřmi krámku jej zaujme kniha s motivem dvou hadů, kteří jsou vzájemně zakousnuti do svých ocasů a názvem Nekonečný příběh. Chlapec nedokáže odolat, a když je majitel knihkupectví zabrán do telefonického hovoru, svazek ukradne a uchýlí se s ním do skrýše na půdě školy. Na jeho stránkách se dozvídá o říši Fantázie, která pomalu upadá do Nicoty. Zatímco čte o záchranné misi bojovníka Átreje, uvědomuje si, že se celé vyprávění týká i jeho. I on se bude muset aktivně zapojit, aby říše, která ho okouzlila, a její vládkyně dětská císařovna mohly být zachráněny. Dokáže se ale vyrovnat s následky svých činů v realitě, kterou stvořil pomocí svých přání, a bude umět čelit své temné stránce? Jen tak se totiž bude moci vrátit se zpět do světa, kam patří… „Skok do magického světa… Rázný, nápaditý a chytrý.“ – Washington Post „Výbuch představivosti.“ – Sunday Times „Endeho fantazie je famózní a okouzlující…“ – vaseliteratura.cz Michael Ende (1929–1995) V nadějné atmosféře poválečného Německa, kdy zažívalo nesmírný rozmach divadlo, vystudoval Michael Ende hereckou školu, ale více než hraní se věnoval ...

Už jako miminko se octl v Jasmánii, ostrovním královstvíčku, jemuž vládne král Alfons Třičtvrtěnadvanáct. Jeho nejlepším kamarádem je strojvůdce Lukáš, hrdý majitel parní lokomotivy Emy. Když se tahle nerozlučná trojice jednoho dne rozhodne vydat do světa, promění se jejich cesta ve velké dobrodružství. Po příjezdu do Mandaly totiž zjistí, že byla unesena císařova dcera a nešťastný panovník je požádá o pomoc při její záchraně. Stopy ztracené princezny je vedou pohořím Koruna světa, Údolím soumraku a skalní branou Ústa smrti až do dračího města Žalmánie.

Michael Ende - Uvězněn ve fantazii - Brigit Dankertová

Birgit Dankertová pro tento životopis nastudovala rozsáhlý archivní materiál a setkala se s mnoha přáteli Michaela Endeho. Ve své poutavé knize pečlivě sleduje celý jeho život: dětství v Mnichově, druhou světovou válku, neúspěchy na jevišti, autorské úspěchy, krizi a nové začátky v pozdějších letech. Závěr není bez ironie: uznání, po kterém Michael Ende toužil jako dramatik a režisér, mu bylo dopřáno především jako autorovi knih pro děti. Nekonečný příběh měl celosvětový úspěch a udělal z Endeho hvězdu literatury pro děti. Příběhy Jim Knoflík a Děvčátko Momo nadchly publikum jako loutková představení, filmy i muzikály. Ende mimořádně obohatil fantasy literaturu pro děti a mládež a dokázal zaujmout i dospělé čtenáře. Birgit Dankertová vytvořila citlivý portrét, který nás přibližuje Michaelu Endemu jako dosud žádná kniha.

Quartet for the End of Time - Michael Symmons Roberts

A personal reckoning with grief, doubt, faith and poetry set to one of the most celebrated musical works of the twentieth century, from the award-winning poet and librettist. The story goes like this: on a freezing winter night in 1941, a new piece of chamber music was performed to a crowd of prisoners of war on a three-stringed cello, clarinet, violin and pub piano with sticky keys. It was the premiere of Olivier Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du Temps.Listeners since then have been captivated by the ecstatic music and mythology of Messiaen’s masterpiece. Michael Symmons Roberts’ own lifelong fascination with the Quartet– having chanced upon it in a record shop in his late teens and fallen in love with its title - leads him on a quest to understand its enigmatic power. His fascination – at times frustration – with Messiaen’s vision opens into an exploration of grief, of personal faith and doubt, of the end of time and what may lie beyond it.Interwoven with poetry and wit, this book is an expansive evocation of music, loss, hope and time, seen through the lens of the Quartet's technicolour, apocalyptic vision. Quartet for the End of Time is a moving, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ještě že v jednom kamenném italském divadle žije Momo, holčička s nádhernýma očima a se srdcem na dlani, která umí druhým báječně naslouchat. To každý nedovede. Někdo spíš popřává sluchu úlisným šedým pánům velícím vše uspěchat a vůbec se pořád někam štvát, aby se ušetřené vteřiny, minuty, hodiny a dny daly v budoucnu investovat. A do čeho? Kdoví, co mají ti lumpové za lubem – jenže Momo jim zkříží plány. Pomůžou jí želva Kasiopeja a Mistr Hóra z domu Nikdenení v ulici Nikdynebyla?Symbolická pohádka vypráví o uhrančivé dětské nevinnosti a smyslu času, který je lidem vyměřen. O jeho veličinu se sice v žánru fantasy svádějí bitvy už od chvíle, kdy z něj Einstein učinil středobod vesmíru, ale dosud ho v beletrii nikdo neuctil vroucněji než děvčátko stvořené v představivosti Michaela Endeho.

The Dancers at the End of Time - Michael Moorcock

Enter a decaying far, far future society, a time when anything and everything is possible, where words like 'conscience' and 'morality' are meaningless, and where heartfelt love blossoms mysteriously between Mrs Amelia Underwood, an unwilling time traveller, and Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time.The Dancers at the End of Time, containing the novels An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands and The End of All Songs, is a brilliant homage to the 1890s of Wilde, Beardsley and the fin de siecle decadents, satire at its sharpest and most colourful.

Children’s Propaganda Games of the Second World War - Nicholas Milton

During the Second World War, hundreds of games were manufactured by the British, Germans and Americans aimed at children. Despite being cheaply made due to the wartime economy, the games were often fun to play and challenging to win. They also had considerable propaganda value helping to manipulate children into supporting the war. To get their attention, many of the games incorporated dramatic artwork and were based on real wartime events from the evacuation of children in 1939 to the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945.This book features a large selection of different games produced by the British, Germans and Americans and tells the stories behind their wartime propaganda. The Nazis in particular prided themselves on producing games which promoted and glamourised war, exploiting children''s patriotism and pride in German conquests. Some of their most insidious games included Juden Raus! (Jews Out!) and Bomber über England (Bomber over England). However, the British and Americans also produced unethical games like Target for Tonight which promoted the carpet bombing of Germany and Atomic Bomb, a dexterity puzzle about the nuclear bombing of Japan.The games featured in this book include roll and move games with a board and die, pinball and similar ...

The Beauty of Games - Frank Lantz

How games create beauty and meaning, and how we can use them to explore the aesthetics of thought.Are games art? This question is a dominant mode of thinking about games and play in the twenty-first century, but it is fundamentally the wrong question. Instead, Frank Lantz proposes in his provocative new book, The Beauty of Games, that we think about games and how they create meaning through the lens of the aesthetic. We should think of games, he writes, the same way we think of literature, theater, or music—as a form that ranges from deep and profound to easy and disposable, and everything in between. Games are the aesthetic form of interactive systems, a set of possibilities connected by rules of cause and effect. In this book, Lantz analyzes games from chess to poker to tennis to understand how games create beauty and evoke a deeper meaning. He suggests that we think of games not only as hyper-modern objects but also as forms within the ancient context of artistic production, encompassing all of the nebulous and ephemeral qualities of the aesthetic experience.

Finite and Infinite Games - James Carse

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all ... Unknown localization key: "more"

James Lovelock''s The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning is a prophetic message for mankind from one of the most influential scientists of our age. James Lovelock''s Gaia theory, the idea that our planet is a living, self-regulating system, has transformed the way we see our planet and what is now happening to it. In this book he distils a lifetime''s wisdom and observation of the Earth to reveal the rate at which our climate is altering, how conventional ''green'' measures are not working, and how life as we know it is going to change forever.

Narrative Design for Mobile and Live Games - Valentina Tamer

This is a comprehensive guidebook for long-term storytelling in mobile games and games-as-a-service (also known as live games). This book formalizes creative techniques of game writing and narrative design for a platform (and revenue model) that has shown drastic growth and changes over the past few years. The unique challenges of mobile games and live games are also increasingly relevant across the whole games industry. With hybrid consoles such as the Nintendo Switch, cloud gaming, and cross-platform titles, the lines between mobile and console have begun to blur. Additionally, many games now offer live support to extend player engagement.This book starts with an introduction to narrative design and the world of mobile games, followed by a deep dive into open-ended and seasonal storytelling. Besides the creative aspect of development, it covers areas of production such as documentation, collaboration, and monetization. To illustrate its solutions, it uses examples from video games and other media, specifically screenwriting for TV shows.This book will be of great interest to all game narrative and writing professionals working on mobile and live games.
