Jom Tov Lipmann Heller (1578-1654) - Joseph Davis
Práce Josepha M. Davise se zabývá životem a dílem rabína Jom Tov Lipmana Hellera (1578-1654), významného znalce Talmudu, známého svým zájmem o židovskou filosofii, ale také hebrejskou gramatiku, matematiku a astronomii. Heller pocházel z Německa, avšak velkou část svého života strávil v Praze, kde působil jako vrchní rabín. Hellerovo pražské působení ukončilo nejasné udání, na jehož základě byl roku 1629 zatčen a několik měsíců vězněn ve Vídni. Po propuštění na něj bylo uvaleno vysoké výkupné a zákaz působit jako rabín na habsburském území. Davisova práce je výjimečná nejen hlubokou znalostí dobových reálií, ale především schopností zasadit je do širšího kontextu dějin židovské i nežidovské Prahy a celé střední Evropy. Autor zprostředkovává mozaiku detailů poutavým způsobem a podává fascinující portrét rabi Hellera jako hlubokého a všestranného učence, jako odpovědného představitele své komunity, avšak současně také jako člověka, jenž se musí vyrovnat s osobní porážkou, vyhnanstvím a exilem. Česká edice rozšiřuje původní anglické vydání o vůbec první český překlad vlastního životopisu rabi Hellera s názvem Megilat ejva a o studii na téma Autobiografie v židovské literatuře v 16. až 18. století. Zařazeny jsou i překlady několika básní z pera rabiho Hellera a rabiho Šelomo Efrajima z Lencyže, jež doprovází studie Dějinné události ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hlava XXII - Joseph Heller - audiokniha
Audiokniha: „Hlava XXII. ta mi zamotala hlavu.“ Ve své nejslavnější knize Joseph Heller na základě vlastních zkušeností s armádou píše o světě, v němž je vše postavené na hlavu; a protože absurdita je věčná, zamotal tento skvělý protiválečný román hlavu už několika generacím čtenářů. Odehrává se za druhé světové války a v sérii absurdních epizod vyprávěných z hlediska několika různých postav satiricky napadá krutost, nesmyslnost válečné mašinerie. Joseph Heller (1923 - 1999) Byl americký spisovatel, psal satirická díla, zejména novely a dramata. Heller pocházel z Brooklynu v New Yorku, jeho rodiče byli židovští přistěhovalci z Ruska. Ve druhé světové válce sloužil u amerického bombardovacího letectva na Korsice. V letech 1948–1949 studoval Columbijskou universitu v New Yorku, poté studoval v Anglii v Oxfordu. Po ukončení studií pracoval v několika reklamních agenturách a věnoval se psaní. Roku 1975 se stal mimořádným profesorem literatury City College v New Yorku. J. Heller posunul literaturu o druhé světové válce do trochu jiné roviny, kdy se jí snaží zesměšňovat a ukázat její absurditu, přičemž projevuje smysl pro černý humor a ironii. Vladimír Hauser (1955) Český herec pocházející z Brna. Je známý především z Balady pro banditu (1979), Dvojrole (1999) a O rodičích a dětech (2007).

Catch As Catch Can - Joseph Heller
Not many writers introduce a phrase - let alone a whole idea - into the language. In Catch-22, Joseph Heller invented a motif for the modern world. The book shaped everything that came after it, establishing Heller's reputation as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. But where did the author who was able to create that novel come from? And what happened to those remarkable characters? In Catch as Catch Can, Joseph Heller's stories are collected for the first time, and clearly chart the development of a genius. From Heller's recollections of his Coney Island childhood to the later stories of his greatest creation, Yossarian, Catch as Catch Can is the last great work of one of the twentieth century's most important literary figures

He had an attractive wife, three children, a nice house, and as many mistresses as he desired. His life was settled and ordered; he had conformed and society demanded he be happy - or at least pretend to be. But the pretence was becoming more and more difficult, as Slocum''s discontent grew into an overwhelming sense of desolation, frustration and fear.

Bob Slocum is anxious, bored and fearful of his job. So why is it he wants nothing more than the chance to speak at the next company convention? In this darkly satirical book, Joseph Heller takes us for a turn on the maddening hamster wheel of work. Heller’s workplace is a cradle of paranoia, bravado and nauseating banter, forever shadowed by that perennial question, who’s really running the show here? In Heller’s hands, our daily grind has never seemed so absurd.Selected from the book Something Happened by Joseph HellerVINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS.

Coming into View - Joseph H. Davis
An expertly crafted evaluation of forces shaping the economy over the coming decade and portfolio management strategies designed to harness them In Coming Into View: How AI and Other Megatrends Will Shape Your Investments, Vanguard’s Global Chief Economist and head of its Investment Strategy Group, Joe Davis, makes a simple and profound argument: that the “status quo†view of the United States economy – one of predictable and relatively constant measures of growth, inflation, and financial returns – is actually deeply unlikely to hold true in the future. The book demonstrates how the promise of artificial intelligence and technological advancement may push against the daunting headwinds of slowing population growth, rising geopolitical tensions and growing national debt, to reshape the economy in ways that conventional thinking overlooks. Davis presents an innovative and original, data-driven framework to consider the probabilities of the coming tug-of-war between AI-fueled growth and inflationary structural fiscal deficits, that can help guide investors as they build investment portfolios to weather uncertain years ahead.

Notes from an Island - Tove Janssonová, Tuulikki Pietila
In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless skerry in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, and for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the graphic artist, Tuulikki Pietilä, retreated there to live, paint and write, energised by the solitude and shifting seascapes.Notes from an Island, published in English for the first time, is both a chronicle of this period and a homage to the mature love that Tove and ''Tooti'' shared for their island and for each other. Tove''s spare prose, and Tuulikki''s subtle washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty.''... Tooti wandered aimlessly around the island and stood stock still for long periods. I thought I knew what she was doing. She was working again. Copperplate etchings and wash drawings. Mostly the lagoon, the lagoon as a consummate mirror for clouds and birds, the lagoon in a storm, in fog. And the granite, first and foremost, the granite, the cliff, the rocks. It''s all peace and quiet now.''

Moominland Midwinter - Tove Janssonová
A Fabulous Find from the Moomin ArchivesA classic Moomin Book with COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONSAnd a beautiful FOLD-OUT PANORAMAIn 1961, at the request of her Italian publishers, Tove Jansson created a unique new edition of Moominland Midwinter, the tale in which Moomin wakes from hibernation to contend alone with the mysterious world of winter. The text and internal line drawings of this much loved story were unchanged, but Tove added a beautiful new cover illustration and seven glorious full-page colour illustrations. This was the only Moomin title that she illustrated in colour and it has long been a prized item for collectors. For the first time, it is available in English. For this new Sort Of edition, Tove''s nephew James Zambra restored the original cover and colour illustrations, along with a glorious fold-out panorama of characters from the book, which Tove Jansson painted for the first French edition. Sort Of Books have also added a back cover designed for the first Swedish edition of Moominland Midwinter, an image used on the first Puffin book, and a playful bookplate ''wreath'' from the first German book. We believe this is the most beautiful Moomin book ever published!

Comet in Moominland - Tove Janssonová
Comet in Moominland, the first full-length Moomin novel, was published 80 years ago. Tove revised the story a decade later and again in 1968, reframing adventures (and adding new characters). Now for the first time this edition can be read in English, in a brand new translation. Tove Jansson''s story of a mysterious, threatening comet, and the journey of discovery by Moomin and his friend Sniff across the Lonely Mountains, has captivated generations of readers across the world. The story introduced much-loved Moomin characters, including free-spirited Snufkin, the philosophical Muskrat, the intuitive Snorkmaiden, obsessional Hemulens and strange Hattifatteners. Tove Jansson wrote her story in 1946 and its themes evoke both the threats and devastation of war and a determination to have fun whatever. Or as Snorkmaiden observes, ''We began talking about dancing. Suddenly you started talking about the comet. I''m still talking about dancing.''

Attached - Amir Levine, Rachel Heller
OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLDAn insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.‘Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.’ New York Times Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory – the most advanced relationship science in existence today – can help us find and sustain love.Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.

The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis - Lydia Davis
The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis is the complete collection of short fiction from the world-renowned Lydia Davis.WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2013.''Big rejoicing: Lydia Davis has won the Man Booker International prize. Never did a book award deliver such a true match-winning punch. Best of all, a new audience will read her now and find her wit, her vigour and rigour, her funniness, her thoughtfulness, and the precision of form, which mark Davis out as unique.Daring, excitingly intelligent and often wildly comic [she] reminds you, in a world that likes to bandy its words about, what words such as economy, precision and originality really mean. This is a writer as mighty as Kafka, as subtle as Flaubert and as epoch-making, in her own way, as Proust. A two-liner from Davis, or a seemingly throwaway paragraph, will haunt. What looks like a game will open to deep seriousness; what looks like philosophy will reveal playfulness, tragicomedy, ordinariness; what looks like ordinariness will ask you to look again at Davis''s writing. In its acuteness, it always asks attentiveness, and it repays this by opening up to its reader like possibility, or like a bush covered in flowerheads.She''s a joy. ...

Mumínci a kometa - Tove Janssonová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Vypadá to jako konec, ale možná je to spíš začátek! V muminím údolí se rozkřikne, že se na svět řítí kometa. Mumínek s Čenichem a se Šňupálkem neváhají a neohroženě se vypraví najít hvězdárnu v Opuštěných horách, aby zjistili, jestli opravdu hrozí zánik všeho. Při svém dobrodružném putování narazí na vyschlé moře a další podivné úkazy, ale také na půvabnou slečnu Ferku, která poplete hlavu zejména Mumínkovi. Zpráva o pohromě se bohužel potvrdí, a tak se v údolí začne se stěhováním poschoďového dortu a s dalšími přípravami na konec světa. Jenže… „Příběhy Tove Janssonové vynikají originalitou jak po stránce výtvarné, tak literární.

Mazal tov! - David Maxa, Tereza Piskláková
Proč Židé pokládají na hroby kamínky a ne květiny? Proč má ukazovátko na Tóru tvar lidské ruky? Proč podle židovské tradice dosahuje chlapec náboženské dospělosti ve třinácti letech a dívka ve dvanácti? Proč při židovské svatbě nevěsta sedmkrát obchází ženicha a z jakého důvodu by měl ženich na konci obřadu rozdupnout skleničku? Tyto otázky a mnohá další židovská témata osvětluje kniha MAZAL TOV! od rabína Davida Maxy. Autor v ní hovoří o židovské tradici, vysvětluje její svátky a obřady, mluví o síle židovské kultury přecházet mezi starým a novým a udržovat obojí v rovnováze. Vše v jedinečném a vstřícném jazykovém pojetí pro kteréhokoli zvídavého čtenáře. Kniha MAZAL TOV! přibližuje alespoň zlomek z ojedinělého příběhu starobylého národa, který navzdory všem strastem a útrapám stále tvoří a buduje. Je určená čtenářům z České republiky, země, která je s židovskou historií úzce provázána.

Religions of Early India - Richard H. Davis
The extraordinary multiplicity of religions and religious cultures in India, chronicled over two thousand yearsFrom its earliest recorded history, India was a place of remarkable and varied religious activity, ranging from elaborate sacrificial rituals and rigorous regimes of personal austerity to psycho-spiritual experimentation and utopian visions. In this ambitious and wide-ranging chronicle, Richard Davis offers a history of India’s myriad religious cultures that spans two thousand years, from 1300 BCE to 700 CE. India, Davis writes, was not only the birthplace of the religions we now know as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It was also the home of other, often unnamed religions that can be classified as “folk†or “popular†religions. Tracing these intertwined practices, Davis shows that the ardent and heterogeneous religious cultures of early India came to define and redefine themselves in relation to one another. Davis recounts this history through voices—voices recorded in hymns, poems, songs, didactic stories, epic narratives, scientific treatises, and theological discourses, as well as voices that speak through material remains, whether monumental sculptures or tiny terracotta figurines of nameless goddesses. He focuses on the long millennium often designated as “classical India,†which stretches from the time of the founding figures of Buddhism and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Wheat Belly - William Davis
Renowned cardiologist William Davis explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges and reverse myriad health problems.Every day we eat food products made of wheat. As a result millions of people experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventative cardiologist William Davis calls ‘wheat bellies’. According to Davis, that fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth or too much butter: it’s down to the whole grain food products so many people eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic – and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health.In Wheat Belly Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering being sold to the public as ‘wheat’ and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Benefits include: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from arthritis, mood benefits and prevention of heart disease.Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, ...

Fair Play - Tove Janssonová
"So what can happen when Tove Jansson turns her attention to her own favourite subjects, love and work, in the form of this novel about two women, lifelong partners and friends? Expect something philosophically calm - and discreetly radical. Its publication is cause for huge celebration."(Ali Smith, from her Introduction to Fair Play) What mattered most to Tove Jansson, she explained in her eighties, was work and love, a sentiment she echoes in this tender and original novel. Translated for the first time into English, Fair Play portrays a love between two older women, a writer and artist, as they work side-by-side in their Helsinki studios, travel together and share summers on a remote island. In the generosity and respect they show each other and the many small shifts they make to accommodate each other''s creativity we are shown a relationship both heartening and truly progressive.
