This is Patrick Leigh Fermor s spellbinding part-travelogue, part inspired evocation of a part of Greece s past. Joining him in the Mani, one of Europe s wildest and most isolated regions, cut off from the rest of Greece by the towering Taygettus mountain range and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, we discover a rocky central prong of the Peleponnese at the southernmost point in Europe.Bad communications only heightening the remoteness, this Greece - south of ancient Sparta - is one that maintains perhaps a stronger relationship with the ancient past than with the present. Myth becomes history, and vice versa. Leigh Fermor s hallmark descriptive writing and capture of unexpected detail have made this book, first published in 1958, a classic - together with its Northern Greece counterpart, Roumeli.

The Case Against Reality - Donald D. Hoffman

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHYSICS WORLD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 One of the deepest and most original thinkers of his generation of cognitive scientists. His startling argument has implications for philosophy, science, and how we understand the world around us Steven Pinker Is reality virtual? It s a question made even more interesting by this book Barbara Kiser, Nature Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman s own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

Everyone needs a little magic in their lives... The Rules of Magic is the long-awaited prequel to Practical Magic, and a New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon #39;s Book Club pick! In this sparkling prequel we meet the Aunts from Practical Magic, sisters Frances and Jet and Vincent, their brother. From the beginning their mother Susanna knew they were unique: Franny with her skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, who could commune with birds; Jet as shy as she is beautiful, who knows what others are thinking, and Vincent so charismatic that he was built for trouble. Susanna needed to set some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles and certainly, absolutely, no books about magic… But the Owens siblings are desperate to uncover who they really are. Each heads down a life-altering course, filled with secrets and truths, devastation and joy, and magic and love. Despite the warning handed down through the family for centuries – Know that for our family, love is a curse – they will all strive to break the rules and find true love.***A perfect read for crisp autumn nights!*** Praise for The Rules of Magic: ‘The combination of magic with the universal themes of romantic love and the bond between siblings allows the reader to have one foot in a magical world and another in the realities of family life.

The Left Hand of God - Paul Hoffman

The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman is the gripping first instalment in a remarkable trilogy. Listen. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is named after a damned lie for there is no redemption that goes on there and less sanctuary. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a vast and desolate place - a place without joy or hope. Most of its occupants were taken there as boys and for years have endured the brutal regime of the Lord Redeemers whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve in the name of the One True Faith.In one of the Sanctuary s vast and twisting maze of corridors stands a boy. He is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Thomas Cale. He is strange and secretive, witty and charming, violent and profoundly bloody-minded. He is so used to the cruelty that he seems immune, but soon he will open the wrong door at the wrong time and witness an act so terrible that he will have to leave this place, or die.His only hope of survival is to escape across the arid Scablands to Memphis, a city the opposite of the Sanctuary in every way: breathtakingly beautiful, infinitely Godless, and deeply corrupt. But the Redeemers want Cale back at any price... not because of the secret he now knows but because of a much more terrifying secret he does not.The Left Hand of God is a must read. It is the first instalment in a gripping trilogy by Paul Hoffman. Imagine if Phillip Pullman s His Dark Materials met Umberto Eco s Name of the Rose.

The World We Want Is Us - Public Menace

The World We Want is Us is the anthologized debut of Public Menace; bringing together the revolutionary imaginations of poets from across the globe to celebrate building fresh creative coalitions in the mobilization for future change. Organized into three sections, the Public Menace poets collected in this anthology span nationalities, poetic styles and revolutionary scopes. On offer is a kaleidoscopic journey into the intersecting struggles for our future, expressed through the voices of contemporary poets from America, Africa, Asia and Europe. The radical approach of Public Menace concerning the organization of creative communities sees stalwart voices published alongside fledgling artists, resulting in a roster as diverse in perspective as it is free-wheeling and wild with its variety of form and style. The anthology opens with poems that speak to the sense of wonder and speculative dreaming that precipitates mobilizing for activism. Take Root Among the Stars sings to God and dead heroes, contemplates writing as an act of resistance, and tackles feelings of despondency and dread that accompany wishes for change. Middle Fingers up marks the progression of radical thought from the abstract to the concrete: these poems shout loudly against injustice and subjugation. Transphobia, racism and colonialism, misogyny, climate catastrophe, technological interferences and capitalist oppression are among the main topics of resistance. After the crescendo of powerful refusal expressed throughout Middle Fingers Up, the collection draws to a close with And All Shall Be Well. This final section celebrates the regrowth and recuperation that necessarily accompanies movements for change. Poems here express a commitment to tenderness and the retention of beauty that fighting for our futures can steal.

The Menace of Prosperity - Daniel Wortel-London

Upends entrenched thinking about cities, demonstrating how urban economies are defined⠔or constrained⠔by the fiscal imagination of policymakers, activists, and residents.  Many local policymakers make decisions based on a deep-seated belief: what⠙s good for the rich is good for cities. Convinced that local finances depend on attracting wealthy firms and residents, municipal governments lavish public subsidies on their behalf. Whatever form this strategy takes⠔tax-exempt apartments, corporate incentives, debt-financed mega projects⠔its rationale remains consistent and assumed to be true. But this wasn⠙t always the case. Between the 1870s and the 1970s, a wide range of activists, citizens, and intellectuals in New York City connected local fiscal crises to the greed and waste of the rich. These figures saw other routes to development, possibilities rooted in alternate ideas about what was fiscally viable.  In The Menace of Prosperity, Daniel Wortel-London argues that urban economics and politics are shaped by what he terms the ⠜fiscal imagination⠝ of policymakers, activists, advocates, and other figures. His survey of New York City during a period of explosive growth shows how residents went beyond the limits of redistributive liberalism to imagine how their communities could become economically viable without the largesse of the wealthy. Their strategies⠔which included cooperatives, public housing, land-value taxation, public utilities, and more⠔centered the needs and capabilities of ordinary residents as the basis for local economies that were both prosperous and just.  Overturning stale axioms about economic policy, The Menace of Prosperity shows that not all growth is productive for cities. Wortel-London⠙s ambitious history demonstrates the range of options we⠙ve abandoned and hints at the economic frameworks we could still realize⠔and the more democratic cities that might result.

Mýty a naděje digitálního světa - Patrick Zandl - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Všimli jste si portrétu ženy na titulní straně knihy? Líbí? Během pár vteřin ho nakreslila Midjourney – stačilo jí dát pár pokynů a navíc za to nic nechtěla. Midjourney je totiž umělá inteligence a třeba o tisíc originálních obrázků ji můžete požádat i vy. Ještě před půl rokem by to nešlo… O knize Digitální technologie se vyvíjejí překotným tempem a je čím dál těžší s nimi držet krok. Který z dnešních vynálezů je pouze „hype“ – bublina odsouzená k prasknutí, a co skutečný „game-changer“? Na odpovědích záleží naše osobní budoucnost, ale i prosperita celé společnosti. Patrick Zandl patří už třetí dekádu mezi přední znalce nových technologií. V této knize srozumitelně objasňuje, jak fungují, a střízlivě posuzuje jejich budoucí potenciál. Neomezuje se přitom na technologie samotné, důraz klade i na jejich společenské dopady. Protože převratné vynálezy přinášejí nečekané příležitosti i nečekané hrozby. Při čtení knihy mimo jiné pochopíte: - Skutečný princip fungování kryptoměn, jejich možnosti a limity. Sami se pak můžete kvalifikovaněji rozhodnout, jestli do nich investovat. - Jakou budoucnost mají další aplikace blockchainu – nahradí tzv. chytré smlouvy notáře? - Proč umělá inteligence představuje revolučního pomocníka v medicíně či průmyslu, ale nebezpečný prvek v trestním systému. - Jaké možnosti kontroly dává technologická revoluce vládám a jak funguje čínský systém sociálního kreditu. - Proč bychom se měli zabývat zamýšlenou evolucí sociálních sítí – metaverzem. - Že se čipy staly nejdůležitější „surovinou“ světa. Kdo je má, vítězí, kdo je nemá, upadá. - Proč nové technologie zvyšují křehkost společnosti, co nám hrozí a jak to všechno přežít. „Když se s novými technologiemi potkáváte, děje se tak zpravidla prostřednictvím nadšených článků věrozvěstů, propagátorů a marketérů, kteří nemají důvod rozebírat stinné stránky, případně si jich ani nejsou vědomi. Jenže selhávání má své zákonitosti a jsem přesvědčený, že aktuální technologická revoluce otřese mnoha jistotami. Každý by měl proto rozumět současným možnostem i rizikům, jinak naše víra v pokrok bude slepá.“ – Patrick Zandl O autorovi Patrick Zandl (* 1974) je technologický publicista, který stál u zrodu českého internetu. V roce 1996 zakládal první český technický zpravodajský server, který později prodal iDNES. V roce 2006 spoluzakládal videoportál Stream.cz a dnes pracuje jako koordinátor vývoje u největšího světového výrobce 3D tiskáren Prusa Research. Je autorem řady knížek i článků popularizujících moderní technologie a udržitelnou energetiku. Ohlasy „Psát umí kdekdo a číst zahraniční weby také. Patrick Zandl však patří do jiné kategorie. To, o čem píše, má osobně vyzkoušené a důkladně promyšlené. Ve schopnosti originálních úvah o budoucnosti digitálního světa tak u nás nemá konkurenci.“ – Petr Koubský, redaktor pro vědu a technologie v Deníku N Více o knize melvil.cz/kniha-myty-a-nadeje

Crash Landing - Liz Hoffman

It was the ultimate test for CEOs, and almost none of them saw it coming.__________In early March 2020, with the Dow Jones flirting with 30,000, the world s biggest companies were riding an eleven-year economic high. By the end of the month, millions would be out of work, iconic firms were begging for bailouts, and countless small businesses were in freefall. Slick consulting teams and country-club connections were suddenly of little use: business leaders were fumbling in the dark, tossing out long-term strategy and making decisions on the fly-decisions, they hoped, that might just save them.In Crash Landing, award-winning business journalist Liz Hoffman shows how the pandemic set the economy on fire-but if you look closely, the tinder was already there.Based on astonishing access inside some of the world s biggest and most iconic companies, this is a gripping account of the most remarkable period in modern economic history, revealing how they battled against an economic catastrophe for which there was no playbook: among them, AirBnB s Brian Chesky, blindsided by a virus in the middle of a high-stakes effort to go public; American Airlines s Doug Parker, shuttling between K Street and the White House, determined to secure a multi-billion-dollar bailout; and Ford s Jim Hackett, as his assembly lines went from churning out cars to ventilators.Crash Landing reveals the fear, grit, and gambles of the pandemic economy, while probing its implications for the future of work, corporate leadership, and capitalism itself, asking: Will this remarkable time give rise to newfound resilience, or become just anothercostly mistake to be forgotten?__________A gripping account of the financial carnage of the pandemic, revealing the fear, grit, and gambles that drove the economy s winners and losers.

Invisible Hour - Alice Hoffman

The latest New York Times bestseller from beloved author Alice Hoffman celebrates the enduring magic of books and is a “wonderful story of love and growth” (Stephen King).One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her. The Scarlet Letter was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Mia’s mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Community—an oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her? Through a journey of heartbreak, love, and time, Mia must abandon the rules she was raised with at the Community. As she does, she realizes that reading can transport you to other worlds or bring them to you, and that readers and writers affect one another in mysterious ways. She learns that time is more fluid than she can imagine, and that love is stronger than any chains that bind you. As a girl Mia fell in love with a book. Now as a young woman she falls in love with a brilliant writer as she makes her way back in time. But what if Nathaniel Hawthorne never wrote The Scarlet Letter? And what if Mia Jacob never found it on the day she planned to die? From “the reigning queen of magical realism” (Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author), this is the story of one woman’s dream. For a little while it came true.

The Dovekeepers - Alice Hoffman

In the year 70 CE, nine hundred Jews held out for months against the Roman army in ancient Israel. Only two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic event, Alice Hoffman weaves a spellbinding story about the lives of four bold and remarkable women during desperate days of the siege of Masada, when supplies are dwindling and the Romans are drawing near. Yael is the assassin’s daughter, Revka’s life has been torn apart by the Romans, Aziza has been raised as a warrior and Shirah is wise in the ways of ancient magic. All are dovekeepers, and all are keepers of secrets – about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love.

After Such Knowledge - Eva Hoffman

As the Holocaust recedes in time, the guardianship of its legacy is being passed on from its survivors and witnesses to the next generation. How should they, in turn, convey its knowledge to others? What are the effects of a traumatic past on its inheritors? And what are the second-generation s responsibilities to its received memories? In this meditation on the long aftermath of atrocity, Eva Hoffman -- a child of Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust with the help of neighbors, but whose entire families perished -- probes these questions through personal reflections, and through broader explorations of the historical, psychological, and moral implications of the second-generation experience. She examines the subterranean processes through which private memories of suffering are transmitted, and the more willful stratagems of collective memory. She traces the second generation s trajectory from childhood intimations of horror, through its struggles between allegiance and autonomy, and its complex transactions with children of perpetrators. As she guides us through the poignant juncture at which living memory must be relinquished, she asks what insights can be carried from the past to the newly problematic present, and urges us to transform potent family stories into a fully informed understanding of a forbidding history.

Dáma, která měla ráda čisté záchodky - James Patrick Donleavy - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Dáma, která měla ráda čisté záchodky - audiokniha obsahuje humorný příběh o tom, jak se i v neštěstí na vás může osud nečekaně usmát, když si potrpíte na čistých toaletách. Autor James Patrick Donleavy. Čte Petra Špalková, Jan Hartl, Jiří Dvořák. Kronika jedné z nejzvláštnějších událostí, o kterých se kdy v New Yorku povídalo. Román Jamese Patricka Donleavyho vypráví příběh ženy, které se ve třiačtyřiceti letech stalo to, co potkává mnoho lidí v tomto věku – opustí ji životní druh a dospělé děti vyletí z rodného hnízda. Hlavní hrdinka Jocelyn Guenevere Marchantierová-Jonesová (Petra Špalková) se s tím zpočátku vyrovnává se ctí, ale postupem času upadá do podivné strnulosti a čím dál větší materiální bídy. V okamžiku, kdy se už zdá, že její život nemůže dospět jinam než k chmurnému dobrovolnému konci, vyplatí se jí zásada, kterou jí vštěpovala její babička, totiž „používat jen ty nejčistší z čistých záchodků“, a to naprosto nečekaným způsobem. Brilantně vypointovaný, a přitom tak nejednoznačně vyznívající příběh této až do poslední chvíle hrdé, vtipné a ironické hrdinky je zábavný a dojemný zároveň. James Patrick Donleavy James Patrick Donleavy se narodil roku 1926 v New Yorku a většinu svého života prožil v Irsku; proto si ho přisvojuje jak literatura irská, tak americká. Upozornil na sebe už svým debutem z roku 1955 nazvaným Zrzek (The Ginger Man), kritikou řazeným k tvorbě autorových generačních souputníků, anglických rozhněvanců Kingsleyho Amise, Johna Osbornea či Johna Waina, a dodnes vyučovaným na amerických univerzitách jako modelová próza předznamenávající hnutí hippies 60. let. Autor se též prosadil na amerických divadelních scénách svými jednoaktovkami, které se staly pojmem.
