Helikonie 1: Jaro - Brian Wilson Aldiss - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Na Helikonii, planetě obíhající kolem binárních sluncí, trvá Velký rok dva tisíce šest set let pozemského času: lidská civilizace se vzmáhá zjara, vzkvétá během období léta a téměř zaniká s nástupem zimy, jež přetrvává po mnoho lidských generací. Právě přichází jaro a Helikonie se pomalu probouzí z předlouhého sevření mrazu. Kmeny rovníkového kontinentu vycházejí z úkrytů, v nichž zdecimovány na minimum přečkaly nepříznivé klima a opětovně začínají soupeřit o nadvládu nad planetou s divokými tvory chladu – fagory. A v jedné z vesnic, Oldorandu, znovu objevují řemesla, obchod, zemědělství, mince i nové rozměry mezilidských vztahů… Román Helikonie – Jaro je úvodním svazkem skvělé Helikonské trilogie, monumentální ságy, která svým měřítkem přesahuje všechno, co jeden z největších mistrů imaginace a žánru science fiction kdy napsal. ŽIVOTNÍ DÍLO VELMISTRA SCIENCE FICTION! Strhující epos o planetě trpící střídáním smrtelně nebezpečných extrémů. Staletí trvající zima odsoudí celé civilizace k záhubě. Do jara se probouzí svět nezatížený minulostí, a přesto jej čeká stejný osud… Vhání čtenáře střemhlav k úžasu. Trilogie, která disponuje monumentální noblesou. — THE TIMES Fantazie Briana Aldisse nezná hranic a staví jeho trilogii o planetě Helikonii vysoko nad běžnou sci-fi. Ba daleko za hranice žánru! — DAILY MAIL Brian Wilson Aldiss se narodil v roce 1925 v anglickém Norfolku. Během své dlouhé a úspěšné spisovatelské kariéry publikoval oceňované science fiction (dvě ceny Hugo, cena Nebula a John W. Campbell Memorial Award); bestsellery populární literatury, experimentální literaturu a mnoho dalších kultovních a průkopnických děl, včetně toho nejznámějšího – trilogie Helikonie. Vždy vyzýval mysl čtenářů k zamyšlení, a tak nikoho nemůže překvapit ekologický přesah jeho děl a zamyšlení nad důsledky klimatické změny dlouho před tím, než se staly tyto úvahy součástí mainstreamu. Připravil mnoho úspěšných antologií a je i autorem velkolepých dějin science fiction Billion Year Spree, později přepracovaných jako Trillion Year Spree. Českým čtenářům je znám z románů Skleník, Nonstop, Pokolení starců či Temné světelné roky. Z mnoha jeho povídek je zřejmě nejznámější Superhračky vydrží celé léto, kterou pro film adaptoval Stanley Kubrick a po Kubrickově smrti ji produkoval a režíroval Steven Spielberg pod názvem A.I. – Umělá inteligence. Brian Wilson Aldiss zemřel v roce 2017 ve věku 92 let. Filip Jančík (* 1974) je český herec, dabér i dabingový režisér. V 18 letech hrál ve filmu Záhada hlavolamu a o rok později ve filmu Vekslák aneb staré zlaté časy. Pracuje pro dabingové studio S-Pro Alfa. Daboval například postavu Codyho v seriálu Krok za krokem, Randyho Dishera v seriálu Můj přítel Monk nebo hlas psa Ftefana v reklamě na limonádu Kofola. V posledních letech se také věnuje načítání audioknih.

Skleník - Brian Wilson Aldiss

Vydejme se spolu s chlapcem Grenem a dívkou Yattmur na podivuhodnou cestu za odkrytím dávných událostí, při nichž lidstvo ztratilo svou nadřazenost. A poznejme přitom svět, v němž je člověk tím takřka nejubožejším tvorem neustále usilujícím o pouhé přežití… Brian Wilson Aldiss, jeden z Velmistrů žánru science fiction, popisuje ve svém mistrovském díle budoucnost, v níž lidstvo již dávno ztratilo dominantní postavení na Zemi a vlády nad planetou se ujaly všudypřítomné rostliny. Ve stínech nekonečné džungle tak osamocené skupinky pozemšťanů přežívají v nikdy nekončícím boji s agresivní vegetací. „Při zpětném pohledu je stále znát, proč byl Skleník vnímán jako výjimečné dílo a proč získal cenu Hugo a upevnil tak Aldissovu skvělou pověst.“ Neil Gaiman

Pokolení starců - Brian Wilson Aldiss

Svět stižený jadernou katastrofou, po které následovaly lokální války, hladomor a smrtící epidemie, se musí vypořádat s dosud největším protivenstvím - ztrátou lidské schopnosti reprodukce. Zatímco poslední zbytky lidstva nezadržitelně stárnou, Země se propadá do beznaděje a plíživého, všudypřítomného rozkladu. Každý se s tím vyrovnává po svém, ať už jde o uzavření se do vlastního ponurého ticha nebo naopak ztrátou veškerých civilizačních zábran. Pocit marnosti, odevzdanosti a melancholie prostupuje vším kolem padesátiletého hrdiny příběhu, jenž je mezi pomalu umírajícími vlastně mladíkem...Brian Wilson Aldiss završil románem Pokolení starců své první tvůrčí období. Počínaje románem Nonstop přes Skleník a Temné světelné roky se na přelomu padesátých a šedesátých let stal patrně nejpopulárnějším autorem science fiction. Jeho knihy zůstaly čtivé dodnes.

Nonstop - Brian Wilson Aldiss - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Roy Complain žije v kočovném kmeni Greenů uprostřed divočiny. Primitivní způsoby společenství však v jeho očích nesouzní s pozůstatky civilizovanějšího života, které nachází při svých kořistnických výpravách do pralesa. Uvnitř cítí zvláštní prázdno, touhu, kterou nedokáže pojmenovat. Má jejich země nějaké hranice? V Royovi postupně vzrůstá odpor k dusivému společenskému řádu a tradovaným vysvětlením věcí kolem něj, která však mají nepřehlédnutelné trhliny. Spolu se skupinou dalších vyděděnců se vydává na nebezpečnou cestu za obzory známých ubikací. S pomocí obtížně srozumitelné staré mapy postupně odkrývá ohromující tajemství světa, do kterého se narodil. Nejslavnější dílo klasika žánru Briana W. Aldisse v podání držitele ceny za Audioknihu roku 2019 Davida Matáska je křišťálově čistý příklad napínavé sci-fi, která je přes svůj spád něčím víc než jen pouhou zábavou.

I Am Brian Wilson - Brian Wilson

They say there are no second acts in American lives, and third acts are almost unheard of. That''s part of what makes Brian Wilson''s story so astonishing. As co-founder member of the Beach Boys in the 1960s, Wilson created some of the most ground-breaking and timeless popular music ever recorded. With intricate harmonies, symphonic structures, and wide-eyed lyrics that explored life''s most transcendent joys and deepest sorrows, songs like ''In My Room'', ''God Only Knows'' and''Good Vibrations'' forever expanded the possibilities of pop songwriting. Derailed in the 1970s by mental illness, drug use, and the shifting fortunes of the band, Wilson came back again and again over the next few decades, surviving and - finally - thriving. I Am Brian Wilson reveals as never before the man who fought his way back to stability and creative relevance, who became a mesmerizing live artist, who forced himself to reckon with his own complex legacy and completed Smile, the legendary unfinished Beach Boys record that had become synonymous with both his genius and its destabilization. Wilson''s story, told in his own voice and in his own way, unforgettably illuminates the man behind the music, working through the turbulence and discord to achieve, at last, a new harmony.

Wherever You Go, There You Are - Jon Kabat-Zinn

THE TIME-HONOURED INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, UPDATED AND WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION AND AFTERWORD, CELEBRATING THIRTY YEARS OF INFLUENCING THE WAY WE LIVE For the past three decades, Wherever You Go, There You Are has helped catalyse the explosion of interest in mindfulness around the world. While mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation, its essence is universal and of deep practical benefit, potentially to all. In essence, mindfulness is about embodied wakefulness. Our minds are such that we are often more asleep than awake to the unique beauty and possibilities of each present moment. While it is in the nature of all our minds to default to autopilot and lose touch with the only time we actually have to live - to feel, to grow, to love, to learn, to give shape to things, to heal - our mind also holds the innate capacity to awaken to each moment. This book gives you a variety of ways to experiment with not missing your moments and take maximal advantage of them by tending what most needs tending to now. Given the myriad mega-challenges humanity and planet Earth are facing at this time, Wherever You Go, There You Are can provide both a personal refuge for meaning - making, healing and transformation, as well as a locus for collaborating with others to heal the suffering of the world.

Are You Ready? (Pack of 25) - Billy Graham

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOING TO COME BACK TO THIS EARTH AGAIN? I do. And I don’t see any other hope for the world because we’re heading toward a catastrophe.The Bible says, “Scoffers will come in the last days. . . . They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his coming?’ For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly” (2 Peter 3:3–7).The Word of God, the Bible, speaks of the certainties of the end of the world. Jesus said, “As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man” (Matthew 24:37). What were the days of Noah like? And is there a parallel for today? The people of Noah’s day were very wicked: “Every intention of the thoughts” of their hearts was “only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). Marriage was abused, people were corrupt, violence prevailed (Genesis 6:1–13). There was a lot of “religion,” but it was decadent. People were preoccupied with things and didn’t have time for God.So God warned them, “Unless you repent and change your ways, you’re going to face judgment.” In the middle of all that corruption, Noah dared to live for God. Noah believed in God, and true faith determined how he lived. By that faith Noah built a ship in the middle of the desert, and he and his family were saved when the waters of destruction came (Genesis 6:1–13, Hebrews 11:7). True faith should determine how we live, too.Today the only bright spot on the horizon of this world’s future is the promise of the return of Jesus Christ. We can’t go on like this much longer, either morally or scientifically. The technology that was supposed to save us is ready to destroy us. Yet we’re not to wait in terror, because as Christians, we have the hope of the return of Christ. When is he going to return? Jesus said, “Concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36).NOAH BELIEVED IN GOD, AND TRUE FAITH DETERMINED HOW HE LIVED. TRUE FAITH SHOULD DETERMINE HOW WE LIVE, TOO.But are you ready when the end of life in this world comes for you personally? The Bible says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). It is coming the moment you die, and that could be at any time for any of us. You may be expecting to live for many more years, but you can’t know for sure. We never know. One of the biblical prophets wrote, “Prepare to meet your God” (Amos 4:12). What have you done spiritually in your life to prepare for that moment when your heart stops beating? The Bible also says about Jesus: “There is salvation [from God’s judgment for sin] in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). You need to make a commitment to Christ today.First, repent of your sins, including all of those things we say and do that offend other people, and God himself! “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Without God’s Spirit coming to live within us we don’t have the strength to change and live a life that pleases God. That’s why we need to be saved! Repentance means that you say to God, “I have sinned. I am sorry for my sins. I want to change my way of living by your empowerment.”Second, you come to God by faith. That means that you put your whole trust in him and say, “Lord, I believe Christ’s death for me provides everything I need to be forgiven for my sins and become accepted by you. I trust in Jesus alone for my salvation. Please save me now and help me live for you.”You may be a good person. You may do all the good that you can think of, but all of that isn’t enough. You must come in childlike faith to Jesus who died on the cross for you, who rose again, who is waiting for you to make that commitment.ARE YOU READY TO MEET GOD?

What Got You Here Won't Get You There - Marshall Goldsmith

Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. That something may just be one of your own annoying habits.Perhaps one small flaw - a behaviour you barely even recognise - is the only thing that''s keeping you from where you want to be. It may be that the very characteristic that you believe got you where you are - like the drive to win at all costs - is what''s holding you back. As this book explains, people often do well in spite of certain habits rather than because of them-and need a "to stop" list rather than one listing what "to do".Marshall Goldsmith''s expertise is in helping global leaders overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more successful. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag - but in this book you get his great advice for much less. Recently named as one of the world''s five most-respected executive coaches by Forbes, he has worked with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams at the world''s top businesses. His clients include corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Glaxo SmithKline, Johnson and Johnson and GE.

Read it and get free'' Katherine Morgan Schafler''A cure for chronic people pleasing'' Adam GrantAre you constantly worried about what people think of you, if they like you, if they’re mad at you?This book will help you understand why. We’ve all heard of fight, flight or freeze. Psychotherapist Meg Josephson reveals a fourth common yet overlooked trauma response: ‘fawning’, or people-pleasing. If you ever:• Leave social situations overthinking something you’ve said• Overlook your own boundaries to make other people happy• Struggle to say what you really want – even to yourself. . . you might be fawning. In Are You Mad at Me?, Meg explodes the idea that people-pleasing is a personality trait, exposing it to be an instinct learned in childhood to become more appealing to a perceived threat in order to feel safe. Yet many people are stuck in this way of being for their whole lives.Weaving her own moving story with case studies and thought-provoking exercises, Meg will show you how to identify your needs, rethink conflict and build stronger connections: empowering you to stop focusing on what others think and start living for you.

Where Are You From? No, Where are You Really From? - Audrey Osler

Where are you from? No, where are you really from? explores three central themes: migration, identity and belonging, examining them in the context of empire, and its continuing impact on the lives of those in Britain today. The question, ''Where are you from?'' is familiar to all. But for people of colour, it more often than not carries an insinuation that they don''t really belong. This is made explicit in the frequent follow-up: ''No, where are you really from?'' This book explores why the question continues to be asked and considers its impact on people of colour.The author draws on memoir and historical research, tracing the experiences of empire and migration across seven generations of her family, delving back to the 1760s, spanning various countries, including Britain, Ireland, Imperial India and Singapore. She sets the stories of individual women and men in the socio-political contexts of their times and discusses the factors that lead them to set out on uncertain and arduous journeys across continents, including conflict, abduction, displacement, economic necessity, and love. The book explores the meanings of these stories for our age. The stories have resonance for anyone that has personal or family experiences of migration, but draw all readers to reconsider what it means to be British today.

The Tale of the Twisted Toymaker (Are You Afraid of the Dark #2) - Danielle Valentine

The spine-chilling next installment in the middle-grade horror series based on Nickelodeon’s hit show Are You Afraid of the Dark? from YA horror sensation Danielle Valentine.Everyone wants a Ms. Mabel doll.And the dolls want something in return... Ms. Mabel’s Doll Emporium can make a doll that looks like anyone, customizing every last detail from hair color down to the shape of its tiny fingernails until you have your very own “mini-me.” Fourteen-year-old Layla has saved up her babysitting money to buy one for her little sister, Emily. Emily is dying for one of her own, and Layla knows exactly how it feels to covet something. She’s never been so jealous over anything as she’d been over the doll of her former best friend, Quinn. Then Quinn moved away, and she and the doll disappeared entirely from Layla’s life. The loss still stings. Which is why—when the two sisters go to the store to pick up Emily’s doll—Layla is shocked to see Quinn’s old doll sitting on a shelf, covered in dust. Layla hardly recognizes herself when she stuffs the doll into her backpack as the girls exit the shop . . . and the afternoon gets even stranger when they return home. Layla hears whispering coming from the closet where she’s stashed the Quinn doll. She wakes up in the middle of the night, frozen in fear as something creeps around the shadows. Her beloved tortoiseshell cat, Anne Boleyn, is behaving as if possessed. And she could swear the teeth on Emily’s doll look somehow . . . sharper than before. Then Emily falls ill, and when Layla’s joints begin to stiffen unnaturally, she knows the dolls are to blame. They want something from their owners, and they won’t stop until its theirs. Can Layla track down the answers she desperately needs?
