A modern translation of the ancient Roman poet Ovid’s Remedies for Love—a witty and irreverent work about how to fall out of loveBreakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse’s death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so.Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid’s lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction and the original Latin on facing pages. Ovid’s advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre.Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you’re sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula.Whether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, How to Get Over a Breakup reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.

In 1931, thanks to the help of Jacqueline Apollinaire, a young Albert Skira, only 25 years old and upon the suggestion of Pierre Matisse, convinced Pablo Picasso to illustrate Ovid’s Metamorphoses with 30 etchings. The exceptional edition, in only 145 copies, was the first publication of the new-born Skira, and was soon followed by the Poems of Mallarmé with 29 original etchings by Henri Matisse and Les Chants de Maldoror illustrated by Salvador Dalí with 42 etchings.For the 90th anniversary of the publishing house, in agreement with the Picasso Estate, Skira issued an anastatic copy of the work, slightly different in format. The volume boasts 412 pages including the etchings both in (15) and outside the text (15).The facsimile is perfect. The volume is in 24 x 30.5 cm format, it is a hardcover edition with paper foil stamping, just like the first edition in 1931. The work is contained in a box that, with the Metamorphoses, also bears an illustrated brochure narrating the birth and history of this legendary volume.Ovid’s Metamorphoses in 11,995 verses and 15 books gather and re-elaborate over 250 Greek myths. Thet have been called an “encyclopaedia of classical mythology”.Picasso’s etchings out of the text, focused on 15 myths, are of rare uniformity, in a style with clean edges and discrete eroticism. Instead, the etchings found at the start of the chapters do not relate to the text and portray faces, nude studies and a delightful litotes of the female body (27th etching).The book was printed on Picasso’s 50th birthday and was described by Christian Zervos as being “of almost Doric beauty”.The anastatic copy is, like the original edition, in French, with an introduction text in English.

Audiokniha: Komentář k původnímu albu DV 15297 Supraphonu z roku 1967: V kolikatisícovém nákladu by musely vyjít Ovidiovy milostné sbírky, aby se uspokojila touha čtenářů mít vlastní výtisk líbezného Ovidia! Ovidius je básník, který nestárne, poněvadž nestárne ani láska, kterou opěvuje. Proto takový zájem o jeho dílo. Nesmrtelnost a slávu po všechny budoucí věky si předpověděl Ovidius sám v závěrečných verších svého monumentálního díla Proměny. Ba dokonce se mýlil v stanovení hranic své proslulosti: jeho dílo oslňuje svou krásou nejen básníkovu rodnou Evropu, jejíž veliká část byla kdysi pod římskou mocí - ale i všechny ostatní světadíly a jeho nevšednímu umění se podivují vědci, právě v díle Ovidiově. Po dvou tisíciletích je jeho dílo tak živé, jako by je psal pro současné čtenáře. Ovidiovo umění zrálo v Římě, který byl tehdy středem celé kulturní Evropy a pokladnicí všeho, co vytvořily ruce Mistrů. Proto se nedivíme, že se Ovidius po svých studijních cestách vrátil trvale do Říma, kde žil až do svých jednapadesáti let, než musel nastoupit smutnou cestu do vyhnanství. Musel se rozloučit s kultivovanou společností, která ho svým uměleckým ruchem zcela uchvátila. A Ovidius nebyl jen jejím němým pozorovatelem a posluchačem. Jeho výjimečné nadání ho učinilo brzy miláčkem této společnosti, takže již po prvních básnických výtvorech stoupal nezadržitelně po žebříčku slávy. Tu mu získaly již první verše z jinošských let, zařazené později do sbírky Amores - Lásky, přednášené po celém Římě.¨ Inspirovala ho dívka, již sám nazývá Korinna. Ovidiova básnického génia lze po nejedné stránce srovnávat s nadáním našeho V. Nezvala. Charakteristické znaky Ovidiova umění se jevily již v jeho prvotinách: neuvěřitelná svěžest a lehkost, s níž tvořil, dokonalá uhlazenost veršů, virtuozita slova, vypravěčské umění, čistý lyrický projev obohacený smyslem pro realistickou drobnomalbu, hravá rozmarnost i strhující patos, křehká něžnost schopná vyjádřit veškerou barvitost a malebnost. K těmto složkám pak později přistoupilo i jedinečné dušezpytné umění, s nímž zachycoval vzrušené vlnění citů, jeho výbuchy i doznívání, dále formální dokonalost, živá, bohatá fantazie, bystrý postřeh, jiskřivá duchaplnost a vynalézavost, jež svědčí o duchu vpravdě tvůrčím. V druhé sbírce z mladých let, nazvané Héroides, Listy héróin, se Ovidius pokusil zachytit nitro milující ženy, toužíci i pobouřené zradou milence. Na této sbírce si velmi zakládal, přesvědčen, že v ní vytvořil mimořádné a originální dílo. Předchůdce fingovaných básnických listů měl snad jen v Propertiovi, u něhož v proslulé "královně elegií" utěšuje předčasně zemřelá Kornélia z hrobu svého žijícího manžela. V Héroidách zpracoval Ovidius náměty z bájné minulosti, a ty mu umožňovaly rozehrát bez hranic obdivuhodnou fantazii. S nevšedním uměním se vžívá do nitra těch dávných žen, osvětluje jejich vnitřní zápasy a motivy jejich jednání. První z Římanů zachytil i krásné přírodní scenérie, dokreslující nebo vysvětlující náladu líčených postav. Snad jen přílišný vliv rétoriky nám trochu vadí na této okouzlující sbírce Listů milostných, mnohem více než to, že Ovidius líčí tyto dávné ženy, píšíci v bolesti nebo v opuštěnosti fiktivní dopisy svým manželům a milencům, jako by žily v současné římské společnosti. Ale i přes tento rétorický prvek je v nich mnoho krásného a všelidsky jímavého, takže si uzavřené románky jednotlivých hrdinek přečteme nebo poslechneme s požitkem. Celá sbírka obsahuje jednadvacet listů. Posledních šest dopisů se týká mileneckých dvojic, z nichž nejznámější je záletný Paris a krásná Helena. Nejpověstnějším Ovidiovým dílem je Umění milovati. Hned na jeho začátku Ovidius říká, že opěvá "neškodnou lásku", ale i z této četby již napřed vylučuje "vážné a počestné římské paní", aby neutrpěly úhony. Umění milovati má tři knihy: v první radí básník mladým mužům, kde si mají hledat dívku a jak si získají její lásku, v druhé, jak si mohou její náklonnost udržet. V třetí knize dává podobné rady dívkám. I když jde o dílko "naučné", je míněno jako zábavná četba jiskřící duchaplným humorem a skvělými postřehy ze života tehdejší římské společnosti. Posledním dílkem Ovidiova prvního tvůrčího období byla Remedia amoris - Jak léčiti lásku, rozumí se lásku nešťastnou, bolestnou, bezvýhlednou. Toto dílko stojí umělecky níže než Umění milovat, kde triumfovala básníkova neselhávající duchaplnost. Některé pozdější generace se nedívaly na obě tyto Ovidiovy teorie lásky příliš laskavě, byli i mravokárci, kteří je zatracovali. Ale kdo zhodnotí celé dílo Ovidiovo a přihlédne ke všem okolnostem, ten se na miláčka lehkonohých Múz hněvat nebude. Opět bychom se v této souvislosti museli zmínit o mladistvých sbírkách Nezvalových - ani u Ovidia, ani u Nezvala je nemůžeme odloučit od uzavřeného celku, nechceme-li se ochudit o nejeden sváteční požitek. I Ovidius se později rozloučil s touto hravou poezií a naznačil, že ho čeká vážnější úkol. Tím úkolem, jejž na sebe vzal, bylo básnické skloubení nepřehledn

Ovidius se svým Umění milovat a nemilovat je tu pro vás, kteří láskou žijete, koříte se jí, slastně stoupáte k jejím vrcholům i riskujete zničující pád. V Ovidiovi najdete – muži i ženy – zasvěceného průvodce tajemstvím lásky i podnět a inspiraci, kde a jak lásku hledat, jak a čím ji nalezenou živit, jak ji udržet, a když vztah někdy přijde o iluze, jak situaci napravit – vše v půvabných verších v rytmu moderního času.Často nemusíme pro lásku chodit daleko: Nevelím tomu, kdo hledá, / napnout plachty a s větrem plout: / ten, kdo chce najít, má leda / kousíček cesty před sebou. Praktická je rada, abychom vyvolený protějšek pozvali třeba na nějaké představení: Těsně vedle své paní / si sedni (co by ti bránilo?), / svým bokem tiskni se na ni, / co možná tělo na tělo… nebo na skleničku: Tam už nejednou mladá víla / mládenci srdce zcizila, / když plamen do ohně vlila / Venuše vínka napilá… Je třeba vytrvat a osvědčit se: Vlastnoručně nad ní vzpírej / řádně vypnutý slunečník, / vlastním tělem jí otevírej / cestu v návalu uličním a rozhodně nezapomínat na upravený zevnějšek: Noha ať neplave bezprizorně / ve vyčvachtané obuvi, / z ní jazyk ať netrčí vzdorně / a rzí ať háčky nemluví. … Ať také tvoje pohublost svědčí / o trýzni srdce…Ovidius si stále uchovává pověst ničitele mravů, ale když ho dnes čteme, nemusíme to skrývat. Dřív tomu bylo jinak – jako nemravnou tuto knihu veřejně spálili nejen ve Florencii (pravda, to bylo v roce 1497, a vlastně to dokazuje, jak musela být oblíbená) a ještě v třicátých letech dvacátého století ji ve více zemích zabavovaly úřady.Lásce je mnohem víc než dva tisíce let a těmto veršům je přibližně právě tolik. Nic nenasvědčuje, že by láska či verše ji oslavující měly zmizet ze světa.

Císařem Augustem byl vypovězen z Říma a poslední roky života žil ve vyhnanství na březích Černého moře. Až do smrti toužil po přátelích a své rodině v Římě. Svůj stesk vyjevil v prosebných listech i básnických Žalozpěvech (Tristia). Vše bylo marné, císař Augustu mu návrat do Říma nepovolil. Ovidius zemřel roku 17 nebo 18 po Kristu. Jeho poezie i dnes udivuje svojí neobyčejnou svěžestí a fantazií.

An irresistible anthology of ancient Greek writings that explore queer desire and loveEros, limb-loosening, whirls me about again,that bittersweet, implacable creature. —SapphoThe idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations.Filled with enthralling stories, this anthology invites readers of all sexualities and identities to explore writings that describe many kinds of erotic encounters and feelings, and that envision a playful and passionate approach to sexuality as part of a rich and fulfilling life. How to Be Queer starts with Homer’s Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes.From Homer’s story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho’s lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. Complete with brief introductions to the selections, and with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

An enriching collection of classical writings about how ancient Romans made—and thought about—moneyAncient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich.How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round.In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can’t buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed.How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from. Featuring lively new translations, an illuminating introduction, and the original Latin and Greek texts on facing pages, How to Make Money offers a revealing look at the Roman worlds of work and money.

Audiokniha: Z komentáře k LP albu 1118 3295, které vydal Supraphon v roce 1983: AFORISMUS je - jak praví slovník - "jadrná a stručná věta, jíž se vyslovuje nějaká myšlénka neb důležitá zásada." Z toho vyplývá, že aforistický sloh "libuje si ve stručných větách". Takže ten, kdo se snaží s aforismem jakýmkoliv způsobem zacházet, je chtěj nechtěj nucen shromažďovat jadrné a stručné věty a libovat si v nich. EPIGRAM, česky prostě nápis, "slove kratičká básnička, vyjadřující s duchaplnou pointou vážnou neb satirickou myšlénku výrazně úsečnou formou, se vztahem k určité věci neb osobě." ...A konečně pro ty, kdo si nelibují v definicích, lze doporučit jako mnemotechnickou pomůcku fakt, že slovo AFORISMUS zahrnuje jaksi slůvko "fór", což člověku připomene, že je tu často co do činění s humorem, zatímco EPIGRAM zase obsahuje slovíčko "gram", které upozorňuje na to, že jde o útvar v každém případě malý....

Anatomy of a Breakthrough is a groundbreaking guide to optimising your life, overcoming obstacles, and reaching your full potential.All of us go through episodes of simply being stuck, whether we're trapped in a thankless job, wrestling writer's block, muddling through a midlife crisis, or trying to remedy a fraying friendship. The resulting emotion is a mix of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, anger, and numbness, and it's often chronic, dangerous to our mental health, and with severe consequences to our success and development. What if someone told you that there is a proven plan to break through and to get unstuck?Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the remedy to identifying and overcoming the friction points holding us back. Professor of Marketing and bestselling author Adam Alter offers a brilliant new framework for not only getting unstuck but also going on to flourish. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit - a test to work out where our sticking points lie between our HEAD, HEART or HABITS - and then takes us on a roadmap to break through.Alter illustrates his formula by sharing the stories of great 'unstickers' among us: the sub-elite swimmer who unstuck himself twice to win two Olympic gold medals; the actor who faced countless rejections before gaining worldwide fame; the renowned painter who became paralyzed and had to relearn to paint with a brush strapped to his wrist; as well as Alter's own story of breaking away from a college degree that made him deeply unhappy.Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, Anatomy of a Breakthrough will inspire you to boldly break away from the things holding you back, and to realise your goals.

Every day, extraordinary inventions and innovative ideas are side-lined in a world that remains subservient to men But it doesn't have to be this way. From the beginning of time, women have been pivotal to our society, offering ingenious solutions to some of our most vexing problems. More recently, it is women who have transformed the way we shop online, revolutionised the lives of disabled people and put the climate crisis at the top of the agenda. Despite these successes, we still fail to find and fund the game-changing ideas that could alter the future of our planet, giving just 3% of venture capital to female founders. Instead, ingrained ideas about men and women continue to shape our economic decisions; favouring men and leading us to the same tired set...

A New York Times bestseller! For the first time in his own words, President-elect Donald J. Trump explains his plan to make America great again! He wants to "put America's interests first--and that means doing what's right for our economy, our national security, and our public safety." Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, "Merry Christmas!" The media scoffed at Trump's vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, "Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard." As Trump says in Time to Get Tough, "I've built businesses across the globe. I've dealt with foreign leaders. I've created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real money--massive money. That's what I do for a living: make big things happen..." Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and he's going to make them for America!From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America "doesn't need cowardice, it needs courage." President Elect Trump is about to "Make America Great Again" and Time to Get Tough is his blueprint!

BY THE AUTHOR OF NOTHING IS TRUE AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE''Both history and a rallying cry . . . an illuminating guide to the nature and possibilities of propaganda.'' TLSFrom one of our leading experts on disinformation, the incredible true story of the complex and largely forgotten WWII propagandist Sefton Delmer - and what we can learn from him today. In the summer of 1941, Hitler and his allies ruled Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Britain was struggling to combat the powerful Nazi propaganda machine, which crowed victory and smeared its enemies.However, inside Germany, there was one notable voice of dissent from the very heart of the military machine – Der Chef, a German whose radio broadcasts skilfully questioned Nazi doctrine. He had access to high-ranking military secrets and spoke of internal rebellion. His listeners included German soldiers and citizens. But what these audiences didn’t know was that Der Chef was a fiction, a character created by the British propagandist Sefton Delmer, just one player in his vast counter-propaganda cabaret, a unique weapon in the war.As author Peter Pomerantsev uncovers Delmer''s story, he is called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the global response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. This book is the story of Delmer and his modern-day investigator, as they each embark on their own quest to seduce and inspire the passions of supporters and enemies, and to turn the tide of information wars.

A no-holds-barred rampage through gigs, clubs, boardrooms, drugs and booze, mad scenes, brilliant signings, machine gun quotes and a resilient wild spirit.''A true believer in the power of music and more importantly a believer in the people that make music'' Noel Gallagher''McGee was our Malcolm McLaren and Tony Wilson. An instigator and motivator, a born upsetter. I''ve never met anyone like him'' Bobby GillespieMusic is like no other business. It''s about being at the right place at the right time, following your nose and diving in feet first. It''s about being plugged into the mystical electricity and about surfing on the wild energy. It''s about how to fuck up and how to survive and be sustained by the holy grail of the high decibel.No-one captures this wild feral spirit better than Alan McGee whose helter-skelter career through music has made him a major force. Wilder than his bands, more out of control than his most lunatic singer, more driven than his contemporaries and closer in spirit to the rock''n''roll star he could never be himself, McGee was always in a rush. Creation would sign people and not just the music. McGee understood that running an indie label is mainly about the charisma, the game changers, the iconography and the story. It''s about never being boring.His ability to start a raw power ruckus brought the visceral danger back to a moribund mid-eighties music scene. His nose for danger and his ear for classic guitar rock''n''roll brought us The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and Ride before topping out in the nineties with the biggest band in the world, Oasis.By no means a conventional instruction manual or business book, How To Run an Indie Label tells you everything you need to know about how to be a creative force.

An entertaining collection of biographical portraits of history's most influential and inspiring economists from Aristotle to Keynes, and Karl Marx to Friedrich Hayek and what they can teach us about the world today. We all live in the economy, whether we know it or not. The current cost-of-living crisis is an economic problem. Brexit might be a political project, but it has already changed how much money we have to spend and which products we can buy.Climate change may seem to be an ecological, or a social, or a technological problem, but it is also an economic problem, because its solution will transform the structure of the global economy. This book provides a readable and entertaining guide to the great thinkers who help us understand how economics works. It looks at how Aristotle invented the household budget, why Adam Smith wanted to abolish rent, and how modern Nobel prize winners shape the world around us.From the Greeks and Romans to the thinkers behind Enron and the financial crash of 2008, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest economists of the human age, and what their extraordinary thinking can teach us about how to see the world. Mochrie explores how the largely Western, White and male dominated field of economics is beginning to diversify, and shows how the great ideas of complex economics can be applied to our day-to-day existence.

The essential guide to the world of Aztec mythology, based on Nahuatl-language sources that challenge the colonial history passed down to us by the Spanish. How did the jaguar get his spots? What happened to the four suns that came before our own? Where was Aztlan, mythical homeland of the Aztecs? For decades, the popular image of the Mexica people - better known today as the Aztecs - has been defined by the Spaniards who conquered them. Their salacious stories of pet snakes, human sacrifice and towering skull racks have masked a complex world of religious belief. To reveal the rich mythic tapestry of the Aztecs, Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl-speakers. Through their voices we learn the contested histories of the Mexica and their neighbours in the Valley of Mexico - the foundations of great cities, the making and breaking of political alliances, the meddling of sometimes bloodthirsty gods - and understand more clearly how they saw their world and their place in it. The divine principle of Ipalnemoani connected humans with all of nature and spiritual beliefs were woven through the fabric of Aztec life, from the sacred ministrations of the ticitl, midwives whose rituals saw women through childbirth, to the inevitable passage to Mictlan, 'our place of disappearing together' - the land of the dead.
