how to get over a breakup an ancient guide to moving on publius ovidius naso

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.

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.

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.

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....

Audiokniha: IRENA KAČÍRKOVÁ (*24.3.1925 - †26.10.1985) byla krásná, vzdělaná a noblesní herečka, o které se říká, že se měla narodit v jiné době. Se svým vzhledem neslovanské, impozantní krásky nemohla ve filmech přesvědčivě ztvárnit kované soudružky, rázné selky nebo dojičky z JZD, jejichž postavy se vyskytovaly ve filmech padesátých let. O co byla díky svému zjevu ochuzena ve filmu, o to více příležitostí se jí dostávalo v divadle, kde se díky svému hereckému talentu skvěle vypořádala s rolemi všeho typu - komickými, tragickými i antickými.Na divadle se uplatnila především v zahraničním repertoáru komediálního ražení (Misantrop, Benátská vdova, Jak je důležité míti Filipa, Třetí zvonění). K vrcholům jejího divadelního umění patří Zlodějka z města Londýna v Radokově režii, Lady Torrance v Sestupu Orfeově, Alžběta v Marii Stuartovně, Jeffersonova Médea), často byla obsazována také do muzikálových inscenací, svými hereckými výkony pravidelně získávala pozornost kritiky i diváků. Z nečetných filmových rolí vyjmenujme alespoň filmy Bílá paní, Starci na chmelu, Svědomí a Byl jednou jeden král.Náš nový kompilační titul se věnuje její recitační tvorbě pro Supraphon v letech 1963 - 1980.Titul je určen pouze pro digitální obchody.

The high level of endemism is one of the main factors that makes scuba diving in Egypt so attractive. The dive sites offer unobstructed opportunities to spot tropical marine life in crystal-clear waters, ranging from sharks and dolphins to gorgonian fans and feather-stars.

Kniha - autor Atul Gawande, 216 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná The modern world has given us stupendous know-how.
