giacomo a henrietta richard aldington

Úchvatný milostný a dobrodužný román předního anglického básníka a spisovatele první poloviny minulého století Richarda Aldingtona, spolu a Hemingwayem, Fitzgeraldem a dalšími příslušníka ‚ztracené generace‘, poznamenané traumaty 1. světové války. Aldington, v mládí autor nesmlouvavých básní a kritických próz, se v pokročilém věku uchýlil k romantickému žánru, avšak vysokou kulturu a průraznost myšlení, stejně jako mimořádný vypravěčský talent a hluboké lidoznalectví si v něm plně zachoval. Jde o přesvědčivě vyjádřený příběh věčného boje dobra se zlem, v němž je dobro sice jako téměř vždy v defenzívě, avšak přesto je nesmírně silné a proto ideově nepotlačitelné. Casanova, svůdce žen, dobrodruh a podvodník, je na sklonku života postaven před ožehavovu otázku, zda to byl on, kdo s ženami manipuloval, nebo zda ve skutečnosti nemanipulovaly ony s ním. Dokáže si vzpomenout pouze na jedinou ženu, která ho milovala skutečně a čistě - na Henriettu. Nakladatel Bohumil Sláma původní Aldingtonův text zkrátil a upravil, čímž mu přidal na kompaktnosti a vyzdvihl jeho poselství.

Rediscover the rich legacy of Richard Aldington (1892–1962), a notable British man of letters. A prominent editor, poet, author of fiction, translator, biographer, and screenwriter who made an indelible contribution to the English literature of the early twentieth century, Richard Aldington deserves to be much better known than he is today. Best known these days for his novel Death of a Hero, which was based on his experience on the frontlines of World War I, he was a central figure in English literary and cultural life in the first half of the twentieth century, married to the poet Hilda Doolittle (H. D.) and friends with Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and others. This book accompanies a milestone exhibition at the Grolier Club, based on the largest Aldington collection in private hands, that is poised to restore his name to its rightful place. Richard Aldington contains a short biography, a bibliography of Aldington’s publications, and a catalog of the exhibition.

First published in 1925, and frequently compared to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, A Fool i’ the Forest is a modernist’s poetic expression of his ongoing struggles with overcoming the trauma of military service in the First World War.Taking its title from Shakespeare’s phantasmagoric Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Fool surveys three aspects of one character – ‘I’, Mezzetin and the Conjuror – as they struggle, and ultimately fail, to find a way to reconcile their differences and live with one another.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Michael Copp and Elizabeth Vandiver, this centenary edition seeks to place A Fool firmly back into the canon of postwar poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.

[...] Jakkoli se to může zdát paradoxní, pro mne je zcela jisté, že práce na překladu Giacomo Joyce, který je pro mne na dlouhou dobu mou poslední prací v českém jazyce, mi současně umožňuje přechod k prvnímu francouzskému pokusu, kterým je text nazvaný Twor (GLM, 1974). Francouzština je mi od té chvíle, až na nepatrné výjimky a až do zcela posledních let, jediným a výlučným pracovním jazykem,"píše V. Linhartová v doslovu ke knize.Text Jamese Joyce (1882-1941) vyšel poprvé v roce 1968 ve frankfurtském nakladatelství Suhrkamp. Podle autorova rukopisu jej připravil k vydání Richard Ellmann. Ellmannovo vydání je posmrtnou publikací autorem samým nezveřejněného díla. Rukopis přepsaný do podoby školního sešitu nemá název ani nenese jméno autora. Nadpis Giacomo Joyce na přebalu je připsán cizí rukou. Podle Ellmanna vznikl úplný záznam, nejspíš s použitím starších poznámek, asi v létě 1914 v Terstu, kde Joyce pobýval v letech 1904-1915 a živil se hodinami angličtiny v jazykové škole i v zámožných terstských rodinách. Jak autorka překladu a doslovu dále uvádí, báseň "Giacomo Joyce je příběhem učitelova vztahu k mladé židovské žačce, příběh ne nepodobný Kierkegaardovu Deníku svůdce".

Tahle dáma má mezi londýnskou smetánkou nevalnou pověst: Chce-li jeden ze snoubenců vědět, jaké jsou postranní úmysly partnera, vyhledá Henriettu, jež má neskutečný talent zjistit nezjistitelné.

Nazism is usually depicted as the outcome of political blunders and unique economic factors: we are told that it could not be prevented, and that it will never be repeated.In this explosive book, Guido Giacomo Preparata shows that the truth is very different: using meticulous economic analysis, he demonstrates that Hitler's extraordinary rise to power was in fact facilitated - and eventually financed - by the British and American political classes during the decade following World War I.Through a close analysis of events in the Third Reich, Preparata unveils a startling history of Anglo-American geopolitical interests in the early twentieth century. Showing that Nazism was not regarded as an aberration: for the British and American establishment of the time, it was regarded as a convenient way of destabilising Europe and driving Germany into conflict with Stalinist Russia, thus preventing the formation of any rival continental power block. In laying bare the economic forces at play in the Third Reich, Guido Giacomo Preparata identifies the key players in the British and American establishment who aided Hitler's meteoric rise.

Explore the financial, social, ethical, and environmental impacts of our obsession with, and dependency on, cars. Learn how to change the way we use them. Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness. While the car has been marketed as a symbol of “freedom”, the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms. Inside the book: Jaw-dropping, real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars, including the fact that cars have killed 60 to 80 million people since their invention, more than the deaths of WWI and WWII combined. Philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike. A catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors. Practical recommendations for all contexts: for you, your family, your neighborhood, your town or city, and your national government. Critiques of the myths around electric cars and autonomous cars, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the implications of this emerging frontier. Ideas on how we can re-frame our relationship with the car? The authors recognize they can be useful machines, when used intentionally, and thoughtfully invited into our lives. Over 45 figures, original illustrations, diagrams, and colour photographs. Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers—anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.

"Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too."This was the great rallying cry of the pioneers who, in 1919, created the Women’s Engineering Society. Spearheaded by Katharine and Rachel Parsons, a powerful mother and daughter duo, and Caroline Haslett, whose mission was to liberate women from domestic drudgery, it was the world’s first professional organisation dedicated to the campaign for women''s rights.Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines tells the stories of the women at the heart of this group – from their success in fanning the flames of a social revolution to their significant achievements in engineering and technology. It centres on the parallel but contrasting lives of the two main protagonists, Rachel Parsons and Caroline Haslett – one born to privilege and riches whose life ended in dramatic tragedy; the other who rose from humble roots to become the leading professional woman of her age and mistress of the thrilling new power of the twentieth century: electricity.In this fascinating book, acclaimed biographer Henrietta Heald also illuminates the era in which the society was founded. From the moment when women in Britain were allowed to vote for the first time, and to stand for Parliament, she charts the changing attitudes to women’s rights both in society and in the workplace.

Krasopisně nasaný rukopis Giacomo Joyce byl objeven v Joyceově pozůstalosti jeho bratrem a poprvé uveřejněn více než dvacet let po autorově smrti, v 60. letech. Byla to literární senzace. Text je jakýmsi silně stylizovaným deníkem autorovy erotické fantazie a byl napsán v době před první světovou válkou, kdy Joyce pobýval v italském Terstu. Je to báseň v próze, vynikající zjitřenou poetičností a mystickým zaujetím, slovy Joyceova životopisce Richarda Ellmana "milostná báseň, která nebyla nikdy recitována". Kniha vychází v unikátní grafické úpravě s ilustracemi významného španělského výtvarníka.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. This heart is sore and sad. Crossed in love?The manuscript of ‘Giacomo Joyce’, written in James Joyce’s best handwriting and folded between the covers of a school notebook, was discovered in Trieste. Most likely written in 1914, some of it served as a rehearsal for passages in Ulysses. Had Joyce meant to pillage it or publish it? Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce’s biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of ‘small, fragile, enduring perfection’.With a new introduction by Colm Tóibín.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

King Richard III remains one of the most controversial figures in British history. Matthew Lewis’s new biography aims to become a definitive account by exploring what is known of his childhood and the impacts it had on his personality and view of the world. He would be cast into insecurity and exile only to become a royal prince before his tenth birthday.As Richard spends his teenage years under the watchful gaze of his older brother, Edward IV, he is eventually placed in the household of their cousin, the Earl of Warwick, remembered as the Kingmaker; but as the relationship between a king and his most influential magnate breaks down, Richard is compelled to make a choice when the House of York fractures. After another period in exile, Richard returns to become the most powerful nobleman in England. The work he involves himself in during the years that follow demonstrates a drive and commitment but also a dangerous naïveté.When crisis hits in 1483, it is to Richard that his older brother turns on his death bed. The events of 1483 remain contentious and hotly debated, but by understanding the Richard who began that year, it will become clearer what drove some of his actions and decisions. Returning to primary sources and considering the evidence available, this new life undoes the myths and presents a real man living in tumultuous times.

Gripping account by Richard Hammond of life before and after his terrifying high-speed car crash.Richard Hammond is one of our most in-demand and best-loved television presenters. In September 2006, he suffered a serious brain injury following a high-speed car crash. ON THE EDGE is his compelling account of life before and after the accident and an honest description of his recovery, full of drama and incident. An adrenalin junkie long before his association with Top Gear, Richard tells the story of his life, from the small boy showing off with ridiculous stunts on his bicycle to the adolescent with a near-obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol.After a series of jobs in local radio, he graduated to television and eventually to Top Gear. His insights into the personalities, the camaraderie and the stunts for which Top Gear has become famous, make compulsive reading. It was whilst filming for Top Gear that Richard was involved in a high speed crash, driving a jet-powered dragster. His wife Mindy tells the story of the anxious hours and days of watching and waiting until he finally emerged from his coma. In an extraordinarily powerful piece of writing, she and Richard then piece together the stages of his recovery as his shattered mind slowly reformed. The final chapter recounts his return home and his triumphant reappearance in front of the cameras.

V Toulkách s Puff, kde Richard Bach popisuje svoji cestu z Floridy do Washingtonu malým hydroplánem pokřtěným Puff, navazuje autor nejen na tradici Johna Steinbecka a jeho Toulek s Charliem, ale také na svůj vlastní bestseller s názvem Iluze. Richard Bach, autor světoznámého bestselleru Jonathan Livingston Racek, který se udržel dva roky na první příčce žebříčku New York Times (prodalo se 40 miliónů výtisků), havaroval na rozjezdové dráze při startu svého malého, amatérsky postaveného vodního letounu. Stalo se to den poté, co dokončil svoji novou knihu Touky s Puff, v níž vypráví příběh právě o tomto letadle a dobrodružstvích, co v něm zažil. Se svým pověstným humorem, moudrostí a bohatými zkušenostmi pilota zpochybňuje naše vžité představy o osudu a budoucnosti. Můžeme najít bezpečí? A je bezpečí opravdu vždy to, po čem nejvíc toužíme? Richard David Bach (* 23. června 1936 v Oak Park, Illinois, USA), pilot, letecký mechanik a spisovatel se proslavil především bestsellerem Jonathan Livingston Racek z roku 1970 a filmem, jenž byl na jeho náměty natočen. V jeho knihách se často objevuje jeho láska k letectví, jež je jeho koníčkem od 17 let a kterému se věnuje dodnes. Richard Bach je autorem řady beletristických i faktických prací, kromě Jonathana Livingstona Racka jsou to např. Iluze (1977), Most přes navždy (1978), Nikdo není daleko (1979), Jediný (1988), série Knih fretek (2002-2005) ad. Většina jeho děl je částečně autobiografická a prostřednictvím aktuálních nebo snových témat ilustruje svoji filosofii.

Richard III is one of the finest of Shakespeare’s historical dramas. Although it has a huge cast, Richard himself, gleefully wicked, charismatically Machiavellian, always dominates the play: a role to gratify such leading actors as David Garrick, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Sher, Ian McKellen and Al Pacino. Since, in real life, political Machiavellianism is never out of date, Richard III remains perennially topical. Numerous revivals on stage and screen have demonstrated the enduring cogency of this drama about the lethally corrupting quest for power.Richard III is the twenty-first play in the Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series. The Times Literary Supplement says: ‘Many students and ordinary readers will be grateful to Watts and his publishers for making such useful editions available at such low cost.’

‘Thames & Hudson’s new, affordable, covetable ‘Pocket Perspectives’: beautifully illustrated essays by canonical writers’ Financial Times A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers. Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build – and live – might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests. Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create – or frustrate – good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

Written in the early 1590s, Shakespeare''s version of the story of Richard III, more properly known as The Tragedy of Richard the Third, depicts events that happened more than a century before. The story is based on the unfinished History of Richard III by Sir Thomas More, writing as the Tudor dynasty was seeking to consolidate its position. Shakespeare portrays his usurping, hunchbacked Richard as truly villainous, with few redeeming features. Yet as he strives to consolidate power, he is a compelling and charismatic character, delivering some of Shakespeare''s most memorable lines. As well as the play itself, this edition contains: • An extended introduction that looks at the play''s history, its structure, and characters• A glossary of words and terms• Notes on the text • A timeline of William Shakespeare''s life and work

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.Richard II is one of Shakespeare’s finest works: lucid, eloquent, and boldly structured. It can be seen as a tragedy, or a historical play, or a political drama, or as one part of a vast dramatic cycle which helped to generate England’s national identity. Today, to some of us, Richard II may appear conservative; but, in Shakespeare’s day, it could appear subversive: ‘I am Richard II’, declared an indignant Queen Elizabeth.Numerous recent revivals in the theatre and on screen have demonstrated the enduring power and poignancy of this drama of the downfall of an egoistic but pitiable monarch.Richard II is the seventeenth volume in the Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been freshly edited by Cedric Watts.

In this, the first monograph of Richard Filipowski, a major figure bridging the Bauhaus and American midcentury modernism finally gets his due.Richard Filipowski (1923-2008) was among the most gifted polymaths in the annals of American modernism.Whether as a painter, sculptor, or designer of furniture and jewelry, Filipowski developed a lush, abstract, and amazingly consistent visual language that marks him among the finest figures of midcentury art and design. As a student at the Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus) in Chicago, he quickly became a protégé of founder László Moholy-Nagy, who featured several of Filipowski''s works in his seminal text Vision in Motion (1947); Filipowski was the only student Moholy-Nagy called upon to join the faculty, where he taught alongside Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.Recruited by Gropius to develop a course in design fundamentals at Harvard, which remains a cornerstone of design pedagogy to this day, he would move to MIT where he taught for more than three decades, until his retirement in 1988. With a foreword by László Moholy-Nagy''s daughter Hattula, Richard Filipowski: Art and Design Beyond the Bauhaus is the first monograph of this master, who over the course of his career created a unique body of work in diverse media that has largely, until recently, been held in private collections due to his relative lack of compulsion to seek media attention or worldly rewards.But now through the efforts of the Filipowski family and new attention by design scholars - several of whom contribute essays here on Filipowski''s graphic and painted works, sculpture, furniture, and position in design history - the work is being revealed to a new generation of aficionados. Richard Filipowski is a rich document of a life and career that is poised to reenter the canon of modernism.
