From bestselling children’s author Marianne Richmond comes a powerful memoir about overcoming a mother’s emotional neglect and finding the courage to reclaim the story of your life.“In her beautiful memoir, Richmond bravely finds her way through a legacy of emotional trauma, pulling us into her courageous, tender heart while bringing us closer to our own…a stunning story.”—Kelly McDaniel, LPC, author of Mother HungerAt nine years old, Marianne Richmond’s life is upended when she collapses on her kitchen floor with full-body convulsions. “Pinched nerve,” says the ER doctor, a baffling explanation. But when one episode becomes many, it’s clear something is wrong. Afraid to be at school, in her body and in her life, Marianne desperately hopes for help and healing. But her emotionally unavailable mother—still reeling from her own past trauma—refuses medication on Marianne''s behalf, preferring to try prayer and homeopathy. At age 18, a full-body seizure in Marianne’s dorm room leads her to a diagnosis, medication, and—at long last—neurological intervention. Physically, Marianne feels “fixed,” but emotional healing proves more elusive. In the years to come, Marianne becomes a parent herself, and writes a new story for her life. She authors children’s books that touch millions of lives, each of them celebrating a mother’s unconditional love for her children. A love her own heart still longs to know. When her mother becomes ill, Marianne has a choice to make: will she be present for the mother who rarely felt present to her?If You Were My Daughter is a story of learning to hear your own voice, of one daughter’s return to wholeness, and ultimately, a story of accepting that, despite all hope and longing, a mother’s “best I could” can still fall far too short. Most of all, Marianne Richmond illuminates how the stories we’re born into shape the ones we tell about ourselves—and reminds us that we have the powerful permission to develop a new relationship with what is difficult in our lives, to fully choose and embody who we are meant to be.

It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit and take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears with their hands and get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors!

The popular Washington Post contributing opinion columnist challenges readers to have uncomfortable conversations about race, drawing on the first-person perspectives of the author and Americans from diverse viewpoints and walks of life.“The United States claims to be a nation founded on an idea,” writes Theodore R. Johnson, “but Americans—even though we nod our heads to that assertion—do not agree on what that idea is, what it should do, or who it is for.” The reality is that America is facing an existential quandary. Its citizens do not share a common vision for a democratic system in action, and even worse, do not share a common vision for what the country should be. We use the same words, but do not speak the same language.If We Are Brave is a keen-eyed and sobering examination of this rift and how race exposes and challenges traditional conceptions of national identity, national mythology, and American democracy. It is both a cultural exploration and a consideration of the American experiment through the eyes and experiences of Americans of different generations that cuts across race, ethnicity, gender, region, religion, and class. Johnson reveals the subtle ways that racialized conceptions of the American identity and the imperfect culture of democracy have hindered our ability to connect with one another, carefully piecing together first-person accounts ranging from a Rust Belt diner to the back of a police car to a jail cell.A beautiful but harsh indictment of a nation that aspires to be a more perfect union yet has consistently and painfully fallen short, If We Were Brave is a portrait of a nation at the precipice. It is an eye-opening, essential resource in a pivotal election year which will define America’s future, and a much-needed beacon of truth that sheds a bright light on who we are.

Peter Falk came to prominence as an actor in 1956 in the highly successful off-Broadway revival of The Iceman Cometh with Jason Robards. Although he worked continuously for the next three years, bouncing from one off-Broadway theatre to the next, a theatrical agent advised him not to expect much work in motion pictures because of his glass eye. Later, a talent scout for Columbia Pictures described Falk as a second John Garfield, but Harry Cohn, the head of Columbia Pictures, unfortunately disagreed: ''For the same price, I can get an actor with two eyes.'' But in 1958, Twentieth Century Fox came to New York to make a movie - Murder Inc - and Falk landed a juicy role for which he received rave reviews and, incredibly, was nominated for an Academy Award. He was then nominated again for his second film, Pocketful of Miracles starring Bette Davis. Falk went on to become a favourite among filmgoers, yet it was through television that he reached his widest audience as Lt. Columbo, winning four Emmys for the role. Interestingly, Columbo''s raincoat came out of Falk''s bedroom closet. He bought it years before he became an actor. He''s been quoted as saying, ''I wanted to wear something people would remember. Bottom line, it''s the world''s most famous raincoat.''Just One More Thing is pure Peter Falk, and reads as if he were sitting next to you, chuckling as he recalls his remarkable past.

Friedrich Nietzsche is the central figure of this study, with a focus on his major philosophical concepts and their development. The book explores Nietzsche's contributions to existentialism, emphasizing his critique of traditional values and his profound impact on modern thought. Nietzsche's work is characterized by his use of aphorisms—concise, impactful statements that capture his philosophical insights. The book discusses his notion of the Will to Power, a central concept in Nietzsche's philosophy that reflects his view of human motivation and the drive for achievement. The idea of the Overman (Übermensch) is another key theme, representing Nietzsche's vision of a higher state of human development that transcends conventional morality and societal norms. A significant portion of the book is devoted to Nietzsche's critique of religion, particularly his rejection of Christian moral values and the concept of God. The text situates Nietzsche within the broader context of modernism, showcasing how his ideas contributed to and influenced contemporary philosophical and cultural movements. Overall, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Nietzsche's life, his revolutionary ideas, and his lasting legacy in philosophy.

It was here that he first proclaimed the death of God—to which a large part of the book is devoted—and his doctrine of the eternal recurrence.Walter Kaufmann''s commentary, with its many quotations from previously untranslated letters, brings to life Nietzsche as a human being and illuminates his philosophy. The book contains some of Nietzsche''s most sustained discussions of art and morality, knowledge and truth, the intellectual conscience and the origin of logic.Most of the book was written just before Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the last part five years later, after Beyond Good and Evil. We encounter Zarathustra in these pages as well as many of Nietzsche''s most interesting philosophical ideas and the largest collection of his own poetry that he himself ever published.Walter Kaufmann''s English versions of Nietzsche represent one of the major translation enterprises of our time.

Friedrich Nietzsche''s Beyond Good and Evil is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale with an introduction by Michael Tanner in Penguin Classics. Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche''s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a ''slave morality''. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own ''will to power'' upon the world. This edition includes a commentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner''s introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil. Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. A powerfully original thinker, Nietzsche''s influence on subsequent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre, was considerable. If you enjoyed Beyond Good and Evil you might like Nietzsche''s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, also available in Penguin Classics. ''One of the greatest books of a very great thinker'' Michael Tanner

A deluxe, high-quality edition of Friedrich Nietzsche’s seminal work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the final books by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. This landmark work continues to be one of the most well-known and influential explorations of moral and ethical philosophy ever conceived. Expanding on the concepts from his previous work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche adopts a polemic approach to past philosophers who, in his view, lacked critical sense in accepting flawed premises in their consideration of morality. The metaphysics of morality, Nietzsche argues, should not assume that a good man is simply the opposite of an evil man, rather merely different expression of humanity’s common basic impulses. Controversial in its time, as well as hotly debated in the present, Nietzsche’s work moves beyond conventional ethics to suggest that a universal morality for all human beings in non-existent – perception, reason and experience are not static, but change according to an individual’s perspective and interpretation. The work further argues that philosophic traditions such as “truth,” “self-consciousness” and “free will” are merely inventions of Western morality and that the “will to power” is the real driving force of all human behaviour. This volume: Critiques the belief that actions, including domination or injury to the weak, can be universally objectionableExplores themes of religion and “master and slave” moralityIncludes a collection of stunning aphorisms and observations of the human condition Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon,this collectible, hard-back edition of Beyond Good and Evil provides an accessible and insightful Introduction by leading Nietzsche authority Dr Christopher Janaway.

Audiokniha: Strhující drama o lásce, nenávisti a vůli. Jeden z bestselerových románů prominentního amerického psychoterapeuta nás přivádí do Vídně 19. století, do kolébky psychoanalýzy. Hlavními protagonisty fiktivního příběhu jsou filozof Friedrich Nietzsche a psycholog, jeden z předchůdců psychoanalýzy, psycholog Josef Breuer. Nietzsche přichází kvůli svým sebevražedným tendencím k Breuerovi, aby se u něho léčil. Na pozadí jejich vztahu, tedy vztahu mezi jedním z největších evropských filozofů a nadaným terapeutem, dochází k setkání světů filozofie a psychologie. V příběhu se objeví také mladý, začínající lékař Sigmund Freud… Když Nietzsche plakal je příběhem o romantické posedlosti, o zachraňující moci přátelství, o úkolu odborníka pohlédnout do tváře vlastnímu démonu, a tak nalézt schopnost pomoci svému klientovi. Kniha je mistrovskou směsicí fakt a fikce. Ve skutečnosti se Friedrich Nietzsche a Josef Breuer nikdy nesetkali. A psychoterapie samozřejmě nevznikla jako výsledek jejich setkání. Nicméně životní situace hlavních postav je založena na reálných faktech a základní prvky románu – Breuerovo duševní trápení, Nietzscheho zoufalství, Anna O., Lou Salomé, Freudovo přátelství s Breuerem, tepající zárodek psychoanalýzy – měly své historické místo ve Vídni roku 1882. Kniha Když Nietzsche plakal získala cenu Commonwealth Gold Medal za nejlepší román roku 1993, v roce 2009 byla vyznamenána vídeňským knižním veletrhem a sto tisíc výtisků bylo zdarma distribuováno obyvatelům Vídně. Kniha byla přeložena do téměř dvaceti jazyků a znají ji čtenáři po celém světě. Přes čtyři roky byla např. nejprodávanější knihou v Izraeli a na žebříčku bestsellerů se ocitla ve dvanácti zemích.

Translated by Antony M. Ludovici. With an Introduction by Ray Furness.The three works in this collection, all dating from Nietzsche''s last lucid months, show him at his most stimulating and controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together with the ill-defined figure of the Ãœbermensch) are forsaken, as wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate, forcing the reader to face unpalatable insights and to rethink every commonly accepted ''truth''. Thinking with Nietzsche, in Jaspers'' words, means holding one''s own against him, and we are indeed refreshed and challenged by the vortex of his thoughts, by concepts which test and probe.In The Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce Homo Nietzsche writes at breakneck speed of his provenance, his adversaries and his hopes for mankind; the books are largely epigrammatic and aphoristic, allowing this poet-philosopher to bewilder and fascinate us with their strangeness and their daring. He who fights with monsters, Nietzsche once told us, should look to it that he himself does not become one, and when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Reader, beware.

Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical work Beyond Good and Evil questions conventional morality and intellectual assumptions. According to Nietzsche, conventional morality, which is founded on cultural and religious conventions, is constrictive and inhibits people from completely expressing who they really are. According to Nietzsche's "will to power" theory, people naturally want to use their power and influence to influence others. He also presents the notion of the "superman," a mythical being free to choose their own moral standards and transcend conventional morality. Nietzsche criticises standard philosophical notions like the concept of truth and the notion of free will throughout the whole book. He contends that reality is relative and dependent on one's viewpoint, and that free will is an illusion produced by our need for control. While Beyond Good and Evil is difficult to read, it is nonetheless a significant contribution to contemporary philosophy. It inspires people to reconsider their convictions and look for a more genuine and satisfying existence outside of conventional cultural conventions.

Audiokniha: „Člověk je něco, co má být překročeno.“ Tak pravil Zarathustra s podtitulem „Kniha pro všechny a pro nikoho“ je nejslavnějším dílem geniálního německého filosofa a básníka Friedricha Nietzscheho (1844–1900). Sám autor jej neskromně považoval za myšlenkově nejhlubší dílo, které bylo kdy napsáno. Nemusíme s tímto hodnocením souhlasit, ale sotva se ubráníme dojmu, že máme před sebou cosi neobyčejného. Základní teze své filozofie zde autor podává vybroušenou formou filosofické básně. Úvahy o smrti Boha, vůli k moci a „nadčlověku“, jež Nietzsche vkládá do úst dávnému perskému prorokovi Zarathustrovi, budily v jeho době zděšení a pohoršení, a znepokojivě působí i na dnešního čtenáře. Výbor ze „Zarathustry“ v kongeniálním překladu Otokara Fischera vychází nyní jako audiokniha v podání Jaromíra Meduny. Překlad: Otokar Fischer Výbor: Petr Babka Režie: Lukáš Hlavica Hudba: Matěj Kroupa Produkce: Pavla Nohýnková Záznam zvuku, střih, mixáž a mastering: Dominik Budil Natočeno ve zvukovém studiu DAMU v Praze Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) byl německý filosof, klasický filolog, básník a skladatel (i když jeho poezie a hudební kompozice byly zastíněny jeho pozdějšími filosofickými spisy). Sepsal řadu filosofických děl, která měla velký vliv na myšlení 20. století. Jeho hlavním tématem byla ostrá kritika evropského myšlení, zejména platónské tradice a křesťanské morálky, jimž Nietzsche vytýkal, že se staví proti síle tvořivého života a nakonec vedou k nihilismu. Jeho často aforisticky pojednávaná témata „smrti Boha“, „vůle k moci“ a „nadčlověka“ jsou dodnes předmětem diskusí a polemik. Jeho nejznámějším spisem je Tak pravil Zarathustra. Jaromír Meduna (1953) je český filmový, divadelní a dabingový herec. Strávil tři sezony v ostravském Divadle Petra Bezruče a po dvouleté zastávce v Příbrami následovalo období v Divadle F. X. Šaldy v Liberci: Od roku 1986 působil v Městských divadlech pražských. Od roku 2008 je členem hereckého souboru Divadle na Vinohradech. Ve filmu se objevil ve filmu Den pro mou lásku a ve snímku Člověk proti zkáze. Dosavadní největší příležitost na plátně dostal ve filmu Bizon z roku 1989. V televizi se objevil ve filmech Posel dobrých zpráv nebo Proč pláčeš břízo bílá.

Tento Nietzschův spis je souborem úvah, postřehů a aforismů, promyšleně seskupených do pěti knih, které jsou komponovány kolem tematických těžišť. Kniha Ranní červánky vznikala roku 1880 na cestách mezi Benátkami, Mariánskými Lázněmi, Naumburkem, Stresou a Janovem. Ještě na jaře 1880 nesl soubor 262 aforismů titul L'Ombra di Venezia (Stín Benátek). Do konce roku 1880 k němu přibylo několik dalších poznámkových sešitů; čistopis pořízený Nietzschovým "žákem" Peterem Gastem byl nazván Die Pflugschar (Rádlo). Na první stranu své kopie vepsal Peter Gast slova: ,,Je tolik červánků, které ještě nezaplály. Rgvéda." Citát se Nietzschovi zalíbil natolik, že titul knihy změnil na Ranní červánky. Myšlenky o morálních předsudcích (Morgenröthe. Gedanken über die moralischen Vorurtheile). Kniha vyšla koncem června 1881 u Ernsta Schmeitznera v Chemnitzu. Roku 1887 opatřil Nietzsche neprodané zásoby předmluvou a nakladatel E. W. Fritzsch v Lipsku je uvedl na trh jako druhé vydání. Spis, který se v chronologii Nietzschova díla nalézá mezi Lidským, příliš lidským (1878-1880) a Radostnou vědou (1882), je souborem úvah, postřehů a aforismů, promyšleně seskupených do pěti knih, které nemají vlastní názvy, jsou však komponovány kolem tematických těžišť. Nietzsche v nich kriticky a s neobyčejnou psychologickou pronikavostí analyzuje základní mravní představy evropské kultury, morální kořeny křesťanství, altruistické etiky atd. Myšlenky o morálních předsudcích tak spolutvoří počáteční fázi podniku, který Nietzsche později nazval ,,přehodnocení všech hodnot".

The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was almost wholly neglected during his sane life, which came to an abrupt end in 1889. Since then he has been appropriated as an icon by an astonishingly diverse spectrum of people, whose interpretations of his thought range from the highly irrational to the firmly analytical. Thus Spoke Zarathustra introduced the ''superman'' and The Twilight of the Idols developed the ''Will to Power'' concept; these term, together with ''Sklavenmoral'' and ''Herrenmoral'', became confused with the rise of nationalism in Germany. Idiosyncratic and aphoristic, Nietzsche is always bracing and provocative, and temptingly easy to dip into. Michael Tanner''s readable introduction to the philosopher''s life and work examines the numerous ambiguities inherent in his writings. It also explodes the many misconceptions fostered in the hundred years since Nietzsche wrote, prophetically: ''Do not, above all, confound me with what I am not!''ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
