Kniha - autor Bronislava Volková, 142 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha Podoby exilu v židovské literatuře a myšlení se zabývá pojmem exilu na mnoha úrovních – od doslovné po metaforickou. Kombinuje analýzy převážně židovských autorů Střední Evropy dvacátého století, kteří obvykle nebývají spolu spojováni, jako jsou Kafka, Kraus, Levi, Lustig, Wiesel a Frankl. Sleduje i typické cesty, které exiloví autoři podnikli, z Východu na Západ a později až do Ameriky. Pojem exilu a jeho podob je analyzován z mnoha různých hledisek a velký důraz je věnován především podobám exilu vnitřního. Bronislava Volková, sama dlouholetá exulantka, a proto intimně zasvěcená do tématu skrze vlastní zkušenost, v knize vytváří jedinečnou typologii exilu, která obohatí oblast intelektuální a literární historie Evropy a Ameriky dvacátého století.

From one of America’s most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon – thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-’50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall’s and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee’s early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice.

Elektronická kniha - autor Josef Hrdlička, 288 stran, česky Kniha Josefa Hrdličky otevírá otázku, co je exilová poezie a zda představuje podobně významnou oblast jako milostná či přírodní lyrika. Složitý a proměnlivý fenomén exilu sleduje na příkladech literárních textů od antiky do současnosti a na pozadí historické poetiky exilu se zabývá českými básníky, kteří odešli ze své země po roce 1948 a výrazně se podíleli na literatuře psané v zahraničí. Na básních Ivana Blatného, Milady Součkové, Ivana Diviše či Petra Krále ukazuje kontinuitu i proměny západní tradice a obraznosti exilu.

České sociální vědy prošly, podobně jako jiné vědní obory, třemi exilovými vlnami - po okupaci Československa v roce 1939, po nástupu komunistického režimu v roce 1948 a po ustavení tzv. normalizace jako důsledku vojenské intervence do obrodného procesu v roce 1968. V knize jsou zastoupeny jen dvě exilové vlny - poúnorová a "normalizační". Kniha ukazuje na základě osobních rozhovorů, případně publikovaných interview, jak se nucení běženci vyrovnávali s novým prostředím, jak byli přijati a jak postupně dosahovali akademických, případně expertizních pozic na univerzitách a dalších pracovištích. Publikace je založena především na dvou základních "stavebních kamenech" - na vlastních výpovědích českých exilových sociálních vědců (nejen sociologů, ale i některých historiků a politologů), které reprodukují poměrně věrně dobové ovzduší, a na ukázkách z jejich děl, jak z dob předexilových, tak z dob strávených v zahraničí. Publikace snad vhodně doplňuje dosud vydané knihy o českém exilu, protože speciální pozornost sociálním vědám zatím věnována nebyla. V tomto ohledu chce být kniha prvním vykročením na cestě k úplnějšímu poznání vývoje české sociologie, z níž exil nelze vyloučit. Vychází mimo ediční řady.

Have you met the real Jesus—the One who is fierce enough to set you free? Previously published as Untamed • “Lisa Harper invites you to meet the Jesus she knows—and just as those who encountered Jesus centuries ago, you’ll never be the same.”—New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado Too many people settle for relating to Jesus merely as a comfortable friend and companion, when what we all need is an untamed Savior, a fearless champion tough enough to conquer our shame and compelling enough for us to follow without hesitation. I finally realized my caricature of Jesus wasn’t big enough to calm my anxiety or heal my wounds or defeat the wickedness in our world. Pretending Jesus is less than He is resulted in someone I wasn’t compelled to worship. So I began a journey to discover the whole Jesus—including the seemingly rough and wild parts—revealed in the Bible. And I found Him to be bigger and better than I ever dreamed.—Lisa Harper Through a powerful blend of storytelling and biblical insights, Lisa Harper invites you to engage with the Jesus of the Gospels, a person so provocative that no one who encountered Him was left unchanged.

Kindan is an apprentice harper at the Harper Hall but he is finding the lessons very difficult and although he has his friends, Nonala, Kelsa and Verilan, he also has enemies, such as the bully Vaxoram. Things begin to improve for Kindan when he beats Vaxoram in a duel and Vaxoram becomes first his servant and then gradually his trusted friend. Then Kindan impresses a fire-lizard and becomes the proud owner of the magnicent Valla. At the hatching he meets Koriana, daughter of Lord Holder Bemin of Fort Hold. She also impresses and she and Kindan fall in love, but her parents disapprove and she has to return to Fort Hold. Then a plague begins to spread across Pern, killing nearly everyone infected. Kindan and his friends search the harper records to see if they can find a cure, but all they can find is mention of a similar plague over a hundred Turns past. As the plague gets worse Kindan and Vaxoram are sent to Fort Hold to help tend the sick. Kindan will be reunited with Koriana, but will she be free of the plague, and will he be able to find a cure before more people die?

Given recent work in quantum physics suggesting that our world is just one world in a series of many, Leland Royce Harper calls for a shift in our concept of the monotheistic God of Judeo-Christian tradition. In Multiverse Deism: Shifting Perspectives of God and the World, Harper argues that those who wish to maintain that the Judeo-Christian God exists ought to revise how they define this God and what they expect of Him so as to maintain consistency between modern theism and the growing body of scientific knowledge. While this revision entails several concessions by the theist, the overall result is a stronger and more coherent account of who God really is. By removing the expectation that God will act in the natural world, Harper argues that we are left with a concept of God that maintains all of the traditional divine attributes, is consistent with current scientific advances, remains compatible with contemporary and historical arguments for the existence of God, and better refutes contemporary and historical arguments for atheism than the traditional, active God.

Kniha zkoumá prezentaci československého státu na prostředí civilní administrativy exilové vlády. Sleduje nejen všední den politiků a úřednictva, ale i úlohu ceremonielu a politického marketingu při vytváření československé značky. Exilové vlády za druhé světové války investovaly značné prostředky do své kredibility a také mocenské prostředí kolem Edvarda Beneše přikládalo důraz otázkám reprezentativnosti. Práce sleduje československý exilový "vládnoucí dvůr" jako velké státnické představení. Zajímá ji scéna s kulisami, rekvizitami, kostýmy a touto perspektivou nahlíží také do zákulisí inscenovaného.

A thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and politics, Exiles asks: What if we considered ourselves “exiles in Babylon” and turned to Scripture, not political parties, to shape our most passionate values?  Politics are dividing our churches like never before. New York Times–bestselling author Dr. Preston M. Sprinkle reminds us that the first-century church was not an apolitical gathering, where Christians left their Roman politics at the door. It also wasn’t a place where Christians mounted a Roman flag next to—or above—a Christian one. Church was a place where God’s plan for governing the world was revealed, where one could witness what it means to follow the Creator’s design for human flourishing.  In this timely book, Preston explores why:  Israel’s exile to Babylon profoundly shaped the political identity of God’s people—and still does today. Christians should see themselves as foreigners in the country where they live. The gospel of Jesus’ kingdom was politically subversive. The church today should view its political identity as fundamentally separate from the empire.  Total allegiance to a political party dilutes the church’s witness.
