Ulysses - James Joyce
Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime. This edition also includes over 9,000 notes by Joyce scholars Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian and John Turner. James Joyce Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882–1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. His writings, however, mainly centre on Dublin – most famously Ulysses, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He pioneered and perfected avant-garde prose techniques that saw him rise to the rank of one of Europe’s foremost Modernists.

How the Light Gets In - Joyce Maynard
From New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard comes the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her beloved novel Count the Ways—a complex story of three generations of a family and its remarkable, resilient, indomitable matriarch, Eleanor.Following the death of her former husband, Cam, fifty-four-year-old Eleanor has moved back to the New Hampshire farm where they raised three children to care for their brain-injured son, Toby, now an adult. Toby’s older brother, Al, is married and living in Seattle with his wife; their sister, Ursula, lives in Vermont with her husband and two children. Although all appears stable, old resentments, anger, and bitterness simmer just beneath the surface.How the Light Gets In follows Eleanor and her family through fifteen years (2010 to 2024) as their story plays out against a uniquely American backdrop and the events that transform their world (climate change, the January 6th insurrection, school violence) and shape their lives (later-life love, parental alienation, steadfast friendship). With her trademark sensitivity and insight, Joyce Maynard paints an indelible portrait of characters both familiar and new making their way over rough, messy, and treacherous terrain to find their way to what is, for each, a place to call “home.”

Giacomo Joyce - James Joyce
První vydání překladu spisovatelky a básnířky Věry Linhartové, který vznikl na přelomu let 1970/71."K setkání s textem Giacomo Joyce pro mne došlo v pravou chvíli: na rozhraní dvou jazyků, na rozhraní dvou světů. [...] 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".

Dubliners - James Joyce
James Joyce''s Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. This Penguin Classics edition includes notes and an introduction by Terence Brown.Joyce''s first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From ''The Sisters'', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to ''Araby'', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to ''The Dead'', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter''s mental illness.If you enjoyed Dubliners, you might like Joyce''s Ulysses, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk''Tom Paulin''Joyce''s early short stories remain undimmed in their brilliance''Sunday Times

Veľmi často potom zažijú bolesť a utŕžia mnohé zranenia. Čas chodenia však tiež môže priniesť do života dospievajúceho človeka veľa dobrých vecí – okrem iného mu môže pomôcť pri jeho osobnom vývoji a dozrievaní.Cieľom tejto knihy je pomôcť vám odhaliť tajomstvo úspešného chodenia a vyhnúť sa tak možným nástrahám vo vzťahoch. Dr. Henry Cloud a Dr. John Townsend sú klinickí psychológovia, konzultanti, prednášatelia a autori mnohých populárnych kníh.

Nič do činenia s islamom? - Peter Townsend
Jedným z najskľučujúcejších javov dnešnej doby sú smrtiace útoky v mene islamu, ku ktorým pravidelne dochádza. Takmer rovnako skľučujúce sú neustále uistenia západných politických lídrov a médií, že tieto násilnosti nemajú „nič do činenia s islamom“. K týmto uisteniam patria výrazy ako radikálny islam, islamizmus, militantný islam, „takzvaný“ Islamský štát (ISIS) a džihádisti, čo navodzuje dojem, akoby ľudia páchajúci násilie v mene islamu nejakým spôsobom prekrúcali mierumilovné učenie moslimského náboženstva. No pochybnosti zostávajú. Ak je islam skutočne „náboženstvom mieru“, prečo k týmto útokom naďalej dochádza? Prečo väčšinu teroristických útokov páchajú ľudia vyznávajúci učenie Koránu? Peter Townsend vo svojej knihe skúma dôkazy o možnej súvislosti medzi islamom a násilím. Robí tak prostredníctvom dôkladnej analýzy základných textov islamu (najmä Koránu a tradícií), no analyzuje aj obvyklé námietky, ktoré zaznievajú vždy, keď niekto naznačuje súvislosť medzi islamom a násilím. Otázka, či islam podnecuje k násiliu, môže byť jednou z najdôležitejších otázok, akým naša civilizácia kedy čelila. Zaslúži si viac pozornosti a podrobnejšiu analýzu než len pár ľahkovážnych slov. V predkladanej knihe máte príležitosť preskúmať túto otázku zo všetkých uhlov a vyvodiť vlastné závery. Toto slovenské vydanie jeho knihy je špecificky ručne vyrobené v obmedzenej edícii. O autorovi: Peter Townsend je spisovateľ a nezávislý bádateľ v oblasti islamu. Je autorom niekoľkých kníh. Žije v Austrálii.

Giacomo Joyce - James Joyce
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 TóibÃn.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Giacomo Joyce (978-80-7474-146-3)
Kniha - autor James Joyce, 48 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá První vydání překladu spisovatelky a básnířky Věry Linhartové, který vznikl na přelomu let 1970/71. „K setkání s textem Giacomo Joyce pro mne došlo v pravou chvíli: na rozhraní dvou jazyků, na rozhraní dvou světů. [...] 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.

Giacomo Joyce - James Joyce, José Hernández
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.

Dubliners - James Joyce
Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce''s Dubliners is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters-at once intensely Irish and utterly universal-may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing rich with evocative imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners'' speech and portraying with remarkable realism their outer and inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories, including such touchstones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and in the definitive text authorized by the Joyce estate-collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions of Dubliners to reflect the author''s wishes-reveals Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.Featuring a new introduction by acclaimed writer Colum McCann and the stunning cover art and sumptuous packaging that are the hallmarks of the Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe series, this edition of Dubliners is worthy of the centennial of one of the twentieth century''s most important books.

Dubliners - James Joyce
''Like an artist working an empty sky into a busy cityscape, or an empty chair into a crowded family portrait, Joyce creates spaces where the reader is left to themselves'' Patrick McGuinness, from his Preface to Dubliners.Set in the late 19th and early 20th-century, Dubliners is made up of fifteen stories, which all sit within the realm of realism, with easily identifiable streets and a cartographic identity of the city. Alike Joyce''s other works, the collection was repeatedly rejected by publishers and he received accusations of obscurity and obscenity before it finally appeared in print on 15 June 1914. This was five years after a contract was signed, six weeks before the outbreak of World War One, and at a time when Ireland was under British Home Rule. We find an intricate account of the lives of the city''s inhabitants in Joyce''s haunted and bleak vision of Dublin.Discover these stories for the first time here, or read them afresh, and marvel at the unique stories that Joyce was able to capture, and make timeless, for us all.

Turner's Secret Sketches - Ian Warrell
The first volume exclusively devoted to J.M.W. Turner''s erotic works, bringing together an outstanding selection of sensual and passionate drawings by the great master, all drawn from Tate''s collection. Up until a few years ago, biographies of both J.M.W. Turner and John Ruskin had claimed that, in 1858, Ruskin burned bundles of erotic paintings and drawings by Turner in a fit of embarrassed Victorian censorship, to protect Turner''s posthumous reputation. Ruskin''s friend Ralph Nicholson Wornum, who was Keeper of the National Gallery, was said to have colluded in the alleged destruction. However, in 2005 these works, which form part of the Turner Bequest held at Tate Britain, were re-appraised by Turner scholar Ian Warrell, who suggested that Ruskin and Wornum did not destroy the sketches and that almost all of the allegedly destroyed drawings are in the Tate collection.  This lavishly illustrated book, the first exclusively devoted to Turner''s erotic work, examines in detail this little known aspect of the artist''s oeuvre. In his original essay, fully reproduced here, Warrell places the work within the context of Turner''s social and artistic milieu, contemporary preoccupations with art for public and ''private'' consumption, and the details and intricacies of Turner''s life and output. An essential addition to the canon of work on Britain''s most prolific and adored artist, this beautifully produced volume will be of interest to scholars, connoisseurs, and all Turner devotees.

Odysseus - James Joyce - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Před 100 lety publikoval irský spisovatel James Joyce svůj nejznámější román Odysseus, zásadní dílo moderní světové literatury. Ve všedním příběhu jednoho dne jako by ožívaly všechny příběhy světa, včetně antického mýtu o Odysseovi. Možná vás nadchne, možná bude provokovat svou "nečitelností", ale jistě vás ohromí. Román Odysseus (1922) se stal nejslavnějším dílem irského romanopisce a básníka Jamese Joyce. Mnohovrstevnatá dublinská parafráze antického mýtu. V osmnácti kapitolách tematicky vázaných k epizodám Homérovy Odyssey je s analytickou důkladností zaznamenávána všední jednodenní pouť pokřtěného irského žida Leopolda Blooma městem Dublin. V časovém úseku od 8 hod. 16. června do 8 hod. 17. června 1904 bezvýznamný žurnalista a inzertní akvizitér Bloom obstarává své pochůzky, které přes vnější banálnost opakují mytickou Odysseovu pouť z Tróje do rodné Ithaky. Homérská paralela se neuplatňuje jen v dějové architektuře Odyssea, ale také v rozvržení postav. Štěpán Dedalus odpovídá Odysseovu synovi Telemachovi. Leopold Bloom funguje jako Odysseus a Molly Bloomová jako Pénelopé. Oba se v noci na okamžik setkají, Bloom se Štěpána ujímá ve veřejném domě, nabízí mu nocleh. Štěpán odmítne, odchází a Bloom opět uléhá vedle své spící ženy Molly-Penelopy, jejíž strhující a živelný vnitřní monolog v podobě jediné nekonečné věty román uzavírá. Dublinské ulice v románu figurují jako moderní obdoba Daidalova labyrintu. Pro obvinění z pornografie byl Odysseus (první vydání románu vyšlo v Paříži v nakl. Shakespeare and Co. roku 1922, první výtisky dostal Joyce do ruky v den svých 40. narozenin) zakázán ve všech anglicky mluvících zemích, přesto se stal literární událostí. Michal Plzák

Dubliners - James Joyce
''I regret to see that my book has turned out un fiasco solenne''James Joyce''s disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers, resisting their demands to remove swear words, real place names and much else, including two entire stories. Although only 24 when he signed his first publishing contract for the book, Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would ''retard the course of civilisation in Ireland''.Joyce''s aim was to tell the truth - to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and by rejecting euphemism, reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled - and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Remembering Peasants - Patrick Joyce
** Longlisted for the 2024 Cundill History Prize**‘A dozen pages in I realized that I had been waiting for much of my life to read this extraordinary book’ Annie ProulxA way of life that once encompassed most of humanity is vanishing in one of the greatest transformations of our time: the eclipse of the rural world by the urban. In this new history of peasantry, Patrick Joyce tells the story of this lost world and its people. In contrast to the usual insulting stereotypes, we discover a rich and complex culture: traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day. Into this passionate history, written with exquisite care, Joyce weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered - and misremembered - in contemporary culture. This is a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented in human history. Yet for Joyce, we are all the children of peasants, who must respect the experience of our ancestors. This is particularly pressing when our knowledge of the land is being lost to climate crisis and the rise of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely and vital, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on our history and our future remains profoundly relevant.

The Bird Hotel - Joyce Maynard
Enter the magical world of La Llorona with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard. After a childhood filled with heartbreak, Irene, a talented artist, finds herself in a small Central American village where she checks into a beautiful but decaying lakefront hotel called La Llorona at the base of a volcano. The Bird Hotel tells the story of this young American who, after suffering tragedy, restores and runs La Llorona. Along the way we meet a rich assortment of characters who live in the village or come to stay at the hotel. With a mystery at its center and filled with warmth, drama, romance, humor, pop culture, and a little magical realism, The Bird Hotel has all the hallmarks of a Joyce Maynard novel that have made her a leading voice of her generation. The Bird Hotel is a big, sweeping story spanning four decades, offering lyricism as well as whimsy. While the world New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard brings to life on the page is rendered from her imagination, it’s one informed by the more than twenty years of which she has spent a significant amount of her time in a small Mayan indigenous village in Guatemala. As the New York Times said, "[Maynard] has an unswerving eye, a sharply perked ear, and the ability to keep her readers hanging on her words." People Magazine said of her: "Maynard’s spare prose packs a rich emotional punch.”

Travelbee, americká psychiatrická sestra a teoretička v oblasti ošetřovatelství. Zdůrazňovala, že ošetřovatelství potřebuje bdquo;humanistickou revoluci ldquo; s nbsp;akcentem na ošetřovatelské vzdělávání, během níž je zapotřebí opustit pojetí založené na nbsp;nemoci (biomedicínský model péče) a více se přiblížit ucelené a prohloubené péči o člověka. Texty Joyce E. Travelbee dosud nebyly do českého jazyka přeloženy a nbsp;vyloženy tak, aby mohly české ošetřovatelské veřejnosti nabídnout pochopení a nbsp;porozumění hlubším souvislostem jejího odkazu. Jako smysluplná se jeví skutečnost, že myšlenky a její tvořivá práce významně přispěly k rozvoji ošetřovatelství a mohou být inspirací pro teorii a praxi...

Trans - Joyce Helen
''An intelligent, thorough rejoinder to an idea that has swept across much of the liberal world seemingly overnight...Open conversation about such fraught issues is the only realistic path forward.'' New York Times THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER and a Times, Spectator and Observer Book of the Year 2021 ‘In the first decade of this century, it was unthinkable that a gender-critical book could even be published by a prominent publishing house, let alone become a bestseller.’ Louise Perry, New Statesman ‘Thank goodness for Helen Joyce.’ Christina Patterson, Sunday Times ‘Reasonable, methodical, sane, and utterly unintimidated by extremist orthodoxy, Trans is a riveting read.’ Lionel Shriver ‘A tour de force.’ Evening Standard Biological sex is no longer accepted as a basic fact of life. It is forbidden to admit that female people sometimes need protection and privacy from male ones. In an analysis that is at once expert, sympathetic and urgent, Helen Joyce offers an antidote to the chaos and cancelling.

Painted People - Matt Lodder
In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now.Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity.The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them.In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas.
