Jan Paul
Jan Paul je výrazným solitérem současného českého malířství. V galerii představil výběr z obrazů, které vytvořil po roce 2004, kdy se prožitek z doprovázení umírající matky hluboce vepsal do jeho myšlení i přístupu k tvorbě. Autor se rozhodl malovat prsty. Obrazy figurální, zabývající se tíživými tématy života, i díla nefigurativní, v nichž světlo symbolizuje naději, vyjadřují duchovní celek ve snaze konfrontovat pomíjivé a věcné. Pro jejich obsahovou výstižnost i specifické světelné podání autor obrazy nepojmenovává. Další autorovu polohu najdeme v triptychu Vzkříšení. Triptych, zamýšlený jako oltářní obraz, začal vznikat koncem roku 2010, a autor ho dokončil koncem roku 2020. Jeho smyslem je vyjádření vztahu a úcty nejen ke Kristu a jeho vykupitelskému dílu, ale k celému křesťanství, které významně ovlivnilo světové myšlení a kulturu. Tento postoj podstatně ovlivňuje po roce 2004 jeho malířskou tvorbu, v níž se zabývá existenciálními tématy. Fyzická konečnost člověka však pro něho není otázkou definitivnosti lidské existence, ale východiskem k tomu, co člověka přesahuje. Triptych Vzkříšení tak zcela logicky právě toto téma vyjadřuje.text: Jan Kapusta, Jan Kříž, Jan Paul fotografie: Martin Polák

Mrkací panenka - Jan Paul
Malíř, výtvarný kritik, a prozaik Jan Paul vydává novou sbírku povídek nazvanou Mrkací panenka. Po své literární prvotině Deník pošetilého milence (2006) a knize O štěstí v umírání (2011) se v novém titulu zabývá tématem lásky, nenávisti a smrti. Autor předkládá čtenáři příběhy současných lidí vystavených těžkým životním situacím. Jsou to lidé mnoha profesí, různosti věku i odlišné sexuální orientace, kteří se často ocitají v mezních a tragických okolnostech života. Autor líčí s jistou dávkou soucitu i pochopení příběhy člověka ve chvílích váhání i vážných rozhodnutí, která nezvratně změní či v některých případech dokonce ukončí jeho život. Paula zajímá nevyhnutelná osudovost existenciálně dramatických chvil, přičemž nevyhnutelná je tato osudovost do té míry, do jaké protagonisté povídek sami svými životy a rozhodováním určují a ovlivňují vývoj událostí, v jejichž pasti se nakonec ocitnou. Bezdomovec, státní úředník, podnikatel, důchodce, šestnáctiletý mladík, žena novináře a mnozí jiní jsou aktéři povídek, které emocionálně vypjaté okolnosti života vystavily náročné osobní zkoušce. Jan Paul s literární imaginací i realistickou přesvědčivostí popisuje osobní, partnerské, a společenské konflikty, na jejichž konci sice čeká hrdiny povídek smrt fyzická, profesní i duchovní, nicméně přesah knihy zřetelně odkazuje k naději. V širším kontextu jde o vyjádření mezilidských vztahů, které jsou odrazem ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The People in Paul's Letters - Guy Manuell
Introduced by Alan Harman, The People in Paul’s Letters is a handy guide to the backgrounds and relationships of the individuals and churches mentioned in the Pauline epistles. Of the twenty–seven books of the New Testament, thirteen are letters written by the apostle Paul to early Christian communities and individuals. These churches were working out the reality of living for Christ and His Kingdom in a world antagonistic to the gospel. Many of the individuals in these congregations were mentioned by name in Paul’s letters, and there is much to be learned from them.We can learn as much by considering Paul’s interactions with people as his directions about Christian thought and behaviour. Although separated by twenty centuries, many of the issues we face today relate closely to matters they encountered. Guy Manuell has thoroughly researched the people mentioned in Paul’s letters. Each person has an individual entry, starting with the verses in which they are found, and giving a full explanation of who they were and their relationship to Paul.Also included are an in–depth introduction providing the background context, an invaluable chronology of Paul’s life, a handy chronology of Paul’s letters and an extensive bibliography.This book will be a valuable ...

Dress in the Age of Jane Austen - Hilary Davidson
A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated examination of dress, clothing, fashion, and sewing in the Regency seen through the lens of Jane Austen’s life and writings This lively book reveals the clothing and fashion of the world depicted in Jane Austen’s beloved books, focusing on the long Regency between the years 1795 and 1825. During this period, accelerated change saw Britain’s turbulent entry into the modern age, and clothing reflected these transformations. Starting with the intimate perspective of clothing the self, Dress in the Age of Jane Austen moves outward through the social and cultural spheres of home, village, countryside, and cities, and into the wider national and global realms, exploring the varied ways people dressed to inhabit these environments. Jane Austen’s famously observant fictional writings, as well as her letters, provide the entry point for examining the Regency age’s rich complexity of fashion, dress, and textiles for men and women in their contemporary contexts.  Lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings, historic garments, and fashion plates—including many previously unpublished images—this authoritative yet accessible book will help readers visualize the external selves of Austen’s immortal characters as clearly as she wrote of their internal ones. The result is an enhanced understanding of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Death in Malta - Paul Caruana Galizia
When Paul Caruana Galizia was at work in London, his eldest brother called to say their mother Daphne had just been assassinated. That day, he returned to their native Malta and, with his two brothers and their father, began a quest to discover who was responsible for Daphne's murder and who stood to profit from ending the life of a journalist whose courage and determination threatened the powerful with the truth. Two years later, they did.A Death in Malta is more than an investigation into the life and assassination of Daphne by her son Paul. It's an examination of the globalisation of corruption and what it has done to a modern European country; it's about that country's escape from colonialism to another kind of arrogant power; it's a personal history of writing when the stakes are high and the intimidation is violent. Above all, it's a universal homage to mothers and their sons.

Being Modern in China - Paul Willis
This book analyses modernity and tradition in China today and how they combine in striking ways in the Chinese school. Paul Willis – the leading ethnographer and author of Learning to Labour – shows how China has undergone an internal migration not only of masses of workers but also of a mental and ideological kind to new cultural landscapes of meaning, which include worship of the glorified city, devotion to consumerism, and fixation upon the smartphone and the internet. Massive educational expansion has been a precondition for explosive economic growth and technical development, but at the same time the school provides a cultural stage for personal and collective experience. In its closed walls and the inescapability of its ‘scores’, an astonishing drama plays out between the new and the old, with a tapestry of intricate human meanings woven of small tragedies and triumphs, secret promises and felt betrayals, helping to produce not only exam results but cultural orientations and occupational destinies. By exploring the cultural dimension of everyday experience as it is lived out in the school, this book sheds new light on the enormous transformations that have swept through China and created the kind of society that it is ...

Ancient Rome in Fifty Monuments - Paul Roberts
A sweeping new history of the city of Rome, told through its emperors and the monuments they built to make their mark on one of the great capitals of the classical world. ‘What is worse than Nero? What is better than Nero’s Baths?’ – so wrote the poet Martial in the first century AD, demonstrating the power that buildings have on public consciousness. In ancient Rome, who built a monument and why mattered as much as its physical structure. Over centuries and under many different emperors, a small village in Italy was transformed into the crowning glory of an empire. Seeking out the personalities behind the great building projects is key to understanding them. With this firmly in mind, Paul Roberts takes the reader on a tour of ancient Rome, vividly evoking the sights and sounds of the city: from the roar of the crowds at the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, to the dazzling gleam of the marble- and mosaic-covered baths of Caracalla and Diocletian. He tells this story emperor by emperor, drawing out the political, social and cultural backdrop to the monuments and ultimately the very human motivations that gave rise to their construction – and destruction.

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction.As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.Soon to be a major film.

Multiplatform Media in Mexico - Paul Julian Smith
Multiplatform Media in Mexico is the first book to treat the exciting, interconnected fields of cinema, television, and internet in Mexico over the last decade, fields that combine to be called multiplatform media. Combining industrial analysis of a major audiovisual field at a time of growth and change with close readings of significant texts on all screens, acclaimed author Paul Julian Smith deftly details these new audiovisual trends.The book includes perspectives on local reporting on the ground, as covered in the chapter documenting media response to the 2017 earthquake. And, for the first time in this field, the book draws throughout on star studies, tracing the distinct profiles of actors who migrate from one medium to another. As a whole, Smith’s analyses illustrate the key movements in screen media in one of the world’s largest media and cultural producing nations. These perspectives connect to and enrich scholarship across Latin American, North American,and global cases.

The Beatles in India - Paul Saltzman, Tim B. Wride
In 1968, the Beatles went to Rishikesh, India, studied transcendental meditation, and wrote music. These intimate photos are the only record of their time in this sacred retreat. This new edition of The Beatles in India brings intimate images of the group, taken at an ashram in Rishikesh, India, to a wider audience than ever before. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. This unprecedented access resulted in an extensive collection of intimate photos of the world’s most beloved rock band during one of their most serene and productive periods, only two years before the official dissolution of the group. Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman—about everything from the story of how “Dear Prudence” came to be to George Harrison’s description of the first time he picked up a sitar—this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles’ most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.

Red Sky in Morning - Paul Lynch
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKER PRIZE LONGLISTED PROPHET SONG.''Paul Lynch is peerless'' Donal Ryan, author of Strange FlowersSpring 1832: Donegal, north west Ireland. Coll Coyle wakes to a blood dawn and a day he does not want to face. The young father stands to lose everything on account of the cruel intentions of his landowner''s heedless son. Although reluctant, Coll sets out to confront his trouble. And so begins his fall from the rainsoaked, cloud-swirling Eden, and a pursuit across the wild bog lands of Donegal. Behind him is John Faller - a man who has vowed to hunt Coll to the ends of the earth - in a pursuit that will stretch to an epic voyage across the Atlantic, and to greater tragedy in the new American frontier. Red Sky in Morning is a dark tale of oppression bathed in sparkling, unconstrained imagery. A compassionate and sensitive exploration of the merciless side of man and the indifference of nature, it is both a mesmerizing feat of imagination and a landmark piece of fiction.

St Paul - Karen Armstrongová
St Paul is known throughout the world as the first Christian writer, authoring fourteen of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament. But as Karen Armstrong demonstrates in St Paul: The Misunderstood Apostle, he also exerted a more significant influence on the spread of Christianity throughout the world than any other figure in history. It was Paul who established the first Christian churches in Europe and Asia in the first century, Paul who transformed a minor sect into the largest religion produced by Western civilization, and Paul who advanced the revolutionary idea that Christ could serve as a model for the possibility of transcendence. While we know little about some aspects of the life of St Paul - his upbringing, the details of his death - his dramatic vision of God on the road to Damascus is one of the most powerful stories in the history of Christianity, and the life that followed forever changed the course of history.
