Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation. She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist. She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly, ecstatically - a tree. Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.

After the thrilling events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi race to confront the Path of the Open Hand and end the Forever War. After five years of conflict, the planets Eiram and E'ronoh are on the cusp of real peace. But when news breaks of a disaster at the treaty signing on Jedha, violence reignites on the beleaguered worlds.Together, the royal heirs of both planets-Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri A'lbaran-working alongside the Jedi, have uncovered evidence that the conflict is being orchestrated by outside forces, and all signs point to the mysterious Path of the Open Hand, whom the Jedi also suspect of causing the disaster on Jedha. With time-and answers-in short supply, the Jedi must divide their focus between helping quell the renewed violence on Eiram and E'ronoh and investigating the Path. Among them is Gella Nattai, who turns to the one person she believes can unravel the mystery but the last person she wants to trust: Axel Greylark.The chancellor's son, imprisoned for his crimes, has always sought to unburden himself of the weight of his family name. Will he reconcile with the Jedi and aid in their quest for justice and peace, or embrace the Path's promise of true freedom?As all roads lead to Dalna, Gella and her allies prepare to take on a foe unlike any they've ever faced. And it will take all of their trust in the Force, and in one another, to survive.

eBook: Má tajemné vraždy v New Yorku na svědomí člověk, nebo upír? Sestra Tillie Pembrokeové je nalezena mrtvá a bez kapky krve. Jen dvě malé ranky na krku naznačují, kudy z ní unikl život. Právě tou dobou, na konci 19. století, vyšel v Americe Stokerův Dracula, a tak se představivost mnoha lidí upřela k možnosti, že v New Yorku začal řádit upír. Tillie je náruživá a zvídavá čtenářka, proto ji takové vysvětlení sestřiny smrti nemůže uspokojit. Nedá si pokoj, dokud záhadě nepřijde na kloub. V pátrání ji brzdí ošklivé zranění, které utrpěla při pádu z koně. Na zmírnění bolestí jí lékař předepíše laudanum, opiovou tinkturu, a někteří lidé z jejího okolí ji drogou až podezřele ochotně zásobují. Do pátrání se snaží zapojit logiku a vědu, objevuje dokonce další oběti podivného vraha, jenže stále vyšší dávky opia jí zastírají mysl. I pro dívku spoléhající na vlastní rozum je tak stále těžší rozlišit, co je skutečné a co ne, a hlavně komu ze svých blízkých může věřit.

Now, when his wife vanishes, leaving him alone with his tiny son, Roland is forced to confront the reality of his restless existence.As the radiation from Chernobyl spreads across Europe, he begins a search for answers that looks deep into his family history and will last for the rest of his life.From the Suez Crisis to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall to the current pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history, but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means - music, literature, friends, sex, politics and, finally, love cut tragically short, then love ultimately redeemed. His journey raises important questions for us all.Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events beyond our control shape our lives and our memories? And what can we really learn from the traumas of the past?Epic, mesmerising and deeply humane, Lessons is a chronicle for our times - a powerful meditation on history and humanity through the prism of one man's lifetime.

An English teacher's love letter to reading and the many ways literature can make us, and our lives, better. How can a Victorian poem help teenagers understand YouTube misogyny? Can Jane Eyre encourage us to speak out? What can Lady Macbeth teach us about empathy? Should our expectations for our future be any greater than Pip’s? And why is it so important to make space for these conversations in the first place?In a career spanning almost three decades, English teacher Carol Atherton has taught generations of students texts that will be familiar to many of us from our own schooldays. But while the staples of exam syllabuses and reading lists remain largely unchanged, their significance – and their relevance – evolves with each class, as it encounters them for the first time.Each chapter of Reading Lessons invites us to take a fresh look at these novels, plays and poems, revealing how they have shaped our beliefs, our values, and how we interact as a society. As she recalls her own development as a teacher, Atherton emphasizes the vital, undervalued role a teacher plays, illustrates how essential reading is for developing our empathy and makes a passionate case for the enduring power of literature.

The Greek myths are timeless classics, whose scenes and figures have captivated us since ancient times. The gods and heroes of these legends hold up a mirror to the human condition, embodying universal characteristics and emotions, like love, hatred, fortune, jealousy, revenge, hubris, greed, or bravery. These traits are the basis for immortal dramas and rich narratives, as profound as they are entertaining, which form the bedrock of our culture and literature today and remain relevant and fascinating for all readers, young and old alike.This edition contains 21 of the most famed episodes from the Trojan War, the subsequent wanderings of Odysseus, and his long-awaited return to Ithaca. The texts are carefully compiled from the seminal work Sagen des klassischen Altertums (Gods and Heroes: Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece) by Gustav Schwab, and strikingly illustrated by 15 artists, among them outstanding representatives of the Golden Age of Book Illustration and the Arts and Crafts Movement, including Walter Crane, William Russell Flint, Newell Convers Wyeth, and Virginia Frances Sterrett.These illustrations are complemented by scene-setting vignettes for each story and a genealogical tree of Greek gods and goddesses by Clifford Harper. Placing the tales in a historical context, the book contains an introduction by Dr. Michael Siebler and is rounded off with an extensive glossary of the most important protagonists in the Greek myths. The heroism, tragedy, and theater of Greek mythology glimmer through each tale in this lavishly illustrated edition, awakening the gods and heroes to new life.

''Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to, and how you might start to put it into practice'' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives?In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live -- how to understand one''s place in the world, how to cope when things don''t go well, how to manage one''s emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.

PRVNÍ OFICIÁLNÍ KNIHA Příběhy, které jdou nad rámec všeho, co už o BTS víte, vydané u příležitosti 10. výročí skupiny, včetně dosud nezveřejněných fotografií, QR kódů a všech informací o jednotlivých albech. BTS poprvé vykročili do světa 13. června 2013. A letos, v červnu 2023, oslavili už 10. výročí svého debutu. Za svými dosavadními kroky se ohlížejí v první oficiální knize – dnes už jako ikoničtí světoví umělci, kteří se dostali až na vrchol. To jim dává novou sílu vytvářet světlejší zítřky a udělat další krok na cestě, po které před nimi ještě nikdo nešel. V rozhovorech a podrobném portrétu BTS sdílejí osobní příběhy ze zákulisí své cesty. Myeongseok Kang, který o k-popu a dalších oblastech korejské popkultury psal pro různá média, pracoval na knize více než 3 roky. Výrazné hlasy členů a jejich názory, prezentované chronologicky v sedmi kapitolách – od debutu až po současnost –, společně vytvářejí upřímný a hluboký příběh plný života. V jednotlivých rozhovorech, které se uskutečnily bez použití kamer nebo jakéhokoliv líčení, přibližují svou hudební dráhu z několika úhlů pohledu a přemýšlejí o jejím významu. Knihu navíc doplňují portrétní fotografie, které zachycují BTS jako jednotlivce i jako skupinu. Kniha také obsahuje koncepční fotografie, seznamy skladeb všech alb a více než 330 QR kódů. BTS jako digitální umělci komunikují se světem pomocí internetu. I tato kniha umožňuje čtenářům okamžitý přístup k trailerům, videoklipům a dalším materiálům, díky nimž získají bohatý přehled o všech klíčových momentech z historie skupiny. Kniha Beyond the Story, doplněná časovou osou se všemi důležitými milníky, je tak pozoruhodným archivem – skutečně vším o BTS v jednom jediném svazku.

eBook: Nedokážete umlčet kritický hlas ve své mysli? Každý máme svého vnitřního kritika, který na nás neustále hledá nějaké chyby. Zkoušíme ho umlčet, ale zdá se, že na něj nic neplatí. Sebekritiky se zbavit nedokážeme a vnitřního kritika vnímáme jako nepřítele nebo se pod jeho vlivem snažíme usměrnit své projevy a chování. Má tedy vůbec smysl pokoušet se to změnit? Pravdou je, že většinu svých myšlenek nedokážeme ovládat. Naše navyklé nezdravé způsoby myšlení jsou podmíněny minulými zkušenostmi a staly se součástí našich obranných mechanismů. Toto nastavení nelze rychle a jednoduše změnit. Snaha o neustálé korigování vlastních myšlenek a umlčování vnitřního kritika nefunguje nebo zabírá jen dočasně. Avšak své reakce na sebekritiku změnit dokážeme! Můžeme si totiž vybrat, jak budeme reagovat – a správná volba nás zbaví pochybností o sobě a zajistí nám vnitřní klid. S pomocí této knihy se naučíte na sebekritiku reagovat zdravě a využívat ji ve svůj prospěch.

Kniha konfrontuje úvahy o díle Franze Kafky od třinácti autorek a autorů z šesti zemí a tří kontinentů. Kafkovo dílo je zde zkoumáno z perspektivy různých filozofických oborů: ontologie, epistemologie, filozofie jazyka, etiky, politické filozofie, filozofie literatury a estetiky. Formální a metodologická rozmanitost příspěvků je stejně bohatá: zahrnuje detailní interpretace vybraných Kafkových textů, analýzy charakteristických rysů rozpoznatelných napříč Kafkovým dílem, srovnání Kafky s jinými autory, diskuse s vlivnými kafkovskými interprety či úvahy o problému kafkovských adaptací. Texty jsou tematicky rozděleny do tří kapitol: Struktura světa a hranice poznání, Společenská realita a prostor morálního hodnocení a Fikční světy a způsoby vyprávění. Kniha je v angličtině. The book is conceived as an opportunity for thirteen authors from six countries and three continents to confront the lessons they draw from Kafka's work. They approach it from the perspectives of several philosophical disciplines: ontology, epistemology, philosophy of language, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of literature, and aesthetics. The formal and methodological variety of their contributions is equally rich: it includes detailed interpretations of particular texts, analyses of characteristic features recognizable across Kafka's work, confrontations with other writers, disputes with influential Kafka interpreters, reopening the problem of Kafkian adaptations, etc. The articles are thematically divided into three chapters: The structure of the world and the limits of knowledge, Social reality and the space for moral assessment, and Fictional worlds and modes of narration.

Rake, drunkard, aesthete, gossip, raconteur extraordinaire: the narrator of Bohumil Hrabal's rambling, rambunctious masterpiece Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age is all these and more. Speaking to a group of sunbathing women who remind him of lovers past, this elderly roué tells the story of his life--or at least unburdens himself of a lifetime's worth of stories. Thus we learn of amatory conquests (and humiliations), of scandals both private and public, of military adventures and domestic feuds, of what things were like "in the days of the monarchy" and how they've changed since. As the book tumbles restlessly forward, and the comic tone takes on darker shadings, we realize we are listening to a man talking as much out of desperation as from exuberance.Hrabal, one of the great Czech writers of the twentieth century, as well as an inveterate haunter of Prague's pubs and football stadiums, developed a unique method which he termed "palavering," whereby characters gab and soliloquize with abandon. Part drunken boast, part soul-rending confession, part metaphysical poem on the nature of love and time, this astonishing novel (which unfolds in a single monumental sentence) shows why he has earned the admiration of such writers as Milan Kundera, John Banville, and Louise Erdrich.
