''When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect ...'' So begins Franz Kafka''s most famous story Metamorphosis.Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is among the most intriguing and influential writers of the twentieth century. During his lifetime he worked as a civil servant and published only a handful of short stories, the best known being The Transformation. All three of his novels, The Trial, The Castle, and The Man Who Disappeared [America], were published after his death and helped to found Kafka''s reputation as a uniquely perceptive interpreter of the twentieth century.Kafka''s fiction vividly evokes bizarre situations: a commercial traveller is turned into an insect, a banker is arrested by a mysterious court, a fasting artist starves to death in the name of art, a singing mouse becomes the heroine of her nation. Attending both to Kafka''s crisis-ridden life and to the subtleties of his art, Ritchie Robertson shows how his work explores such characteristically modern themes as the place of the body in culture, the power of institutions over people, and the possibility of religion after Nietzsche had proclaimed ''the death of God''. The result is an up-to-date and accessible ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A magisterial work of intellectual history that recasts the Enlightenment as a period not solely consumed with rationale and reason, but rather as a pursuit of practical means to achieve greater human happiness. One of the formative periods of European and world history, the Enlightenment is the fountainhead of modern secular Western values: religious tolerance, freedom of thought, speech and the press, of rationality and evidence-based argument. Yet why, over three hundred years after it began, is the Enlightenment so profoundly misunderstood as controversial, the expression of soulless calculation? The answer may be that, to an extraordinary extent, we have accepted the account of the Enlightenment given by its conservative enemies: that enlightenment necessarily implied hostility to religion or support for an unfettered free market, or that this was the best of all possible worlds. Ritchie Robertson goes back into the long eighteenth century, from approximately 1680 to 1790, to reveal what this much-debated period of European history was really about.Robertson returns to the eras original texts to show that above all, the Enlightenment was really about increasing human happiness in this world rather than the next by promoting scientific inquiry and reasoned argument. In so doing Robertson chronicles the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In The Case of the Pope Geoffrey Robertson QC delivers a devastating indictment of the way the Vatican has run a secret legal system that shields paedophile priests from criminal trial around the world. Is the Pope morally or legally responsible for the negligence that has allowed so many terrible crimes to go unpunished? Should he and his seat of power, the Holy See, continue to enjoy an immunity that places them above the law? Geoffrey Robertson QC, a distinguished human rights lawyer and judge, evinces a deep respect for the good works of Catholics and their church. But, he argues, unless Pope Benedict XVI can divest himself of the beguilements of statehood and devotion to obsolescent canon law, the Vatican will remain a serious enemy to the advance of human rights.

Ritchie locates patterns in an unpredictable universe, with garden and flood serving as metaphors for growth and destructionRenowned New York–based interdisciplinary artist Matthew Ritchie (born 1964) seeks to visualize thought, connecting such fields as philosophy and mythology, epic poetry and science fiction, and history and physics, through installations of paintings, wall drawings, light boxes, games, sculpture, films and performance works. His works challenge social fragmentation by suggesting a unified theory of everything.Published for an exhibition at the Frist Art Museum, A Garden in the Flood examines a selection of his paintings, architectural structures, elaborate diagrams and hallucinatory video animations (which notably include a collaboration with the Grammy Award–winning Fisk Jubilee Singers). Employing “garden” and “flood” as metaphors for growth and destruction, transformation and renewal, Ritchie encourages readers to “reimagine the role art could play in whatever form of society may emerge next.”

An insider’s view of science reveals why many scientific results cannot be relied upon – and how the system can be reformed.Science is how we understand the world. Yet failures in peer review and mistakes in statistics have rendered a shocking number of scientific studies useless – or, worse, badly misleading. Such errors have distorted our knowledge in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, physics, nutrition, education, genetics, economics, and the search for extraterrestrial life. As Science Fictions makes clear, the current system of research funding and publication not only fails to safeguard us from blunders but actively encourages bad science – with sometimes deadly consequences.Stuart Ritchie’s own work challenging an infamous psychology experiment helped spark what is now widely known as the “replication crisis,” the realization that supposed scientific truths are often just plain wrong. Now, he reveals the very human biases, misunderstandings, and deceptions that undermine the scientific endeavor: from contamination in science labs to the secret vaults of failed studies that nobody gets to see; from outright cheating with fake data to the more common, but still ruinous, temptation to exaggerate mediocre results for a shot at scientific fame.Yet Science Fictions is far from a counsel of despair. ...

In the second edition of The U.S. Congress, Donald A. Ritchie, a congressional historian for more than thirty years, takes readers on a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tour of Capitol Hill, pointing out the key players, explaining their behavior, and translating parliamentary language into plain English. No mere civics lesson, this eye-opening book provides an insider''s perspective on Congress, matched with a professional historian''s analytical insight. After a swift survey of the creation of Congress by the constitutional convention, he begins to unscrew the nuts and pull out the bolts. What is it like to campaign for Congress? To attract large donors? To enter either house with no seniority? He answers these questions and more, explaining committee assignments and committee work, the role of staffers and lobbyists, floor proceedings, parliamentary rules, and coalition building. Ritchie explores the great effort put into constituent service-as representatives and senators respond to requests from groups and individuals-as well as media relations and news coverage. He also explores how the grand concepts we all know from civics class--checks and balances, advise and consent, congressional oversight--work in practice in an age of strong presidents and a muscular Senate minority.

This novel biography brings Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) to life for a new generation of readers by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Donald J. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, Domitia Lucilla, and the emperor Hadrian, as well as his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.Marcus Aurelius struggled to reconcile his philosophy and moral values with the political pressures he faced as emperor at the height of Roman power.Robertson examines Marcus’s attitude toward slavery and the moral dilemma posed by capturing enemies in warfare; his attitude toward women; the role of Stoicism in shaping his response to the threat of civil war; the treatment of Christians under his rule; and the naming of his notorious son Commodus as his successor. Throughout, the Meditations is used to shed light on the mind of the emperor—his character, values, and motives—as Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus’s inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.

Central to this endeavour was the Shrine’s chancel mural of a Black Virgin and child, the icon of a nationwide liberation movement that would come to be known as Black Christian Nationalism.Alongside the Shrine’s story, Robertson reflects on a diverse array of Black utopian visions, from the Reconstruction era through the countercultural fervour of the 1960s and 1970s and into the ...

The story of the international struggle to preserve Kafka's literary legacy. Kafka's Last Trial begins with Kafka's last instruction to his closest friend, Max Brod: to destroy all his remaining papers upon his death. But when the moment arrived in 1924, Brod could not bring himself to burn the unpublished works of the man he considered a literary genius?even a saint. Instead, Brod devoted his life to championing Kafka's writing, rescuing his legacy from obscurity and physical destruction. The story of Kafka's posthumous life is itself Kafkaesque. By the time of Brod's own death in Tel Aviv in 1968, Kafka's major works had been published, transforming the once little-known writer into a pillar of literary modernism. Yet Brod left a wealth of still-unpublished papers to his secretary, who sold some, held on to the rest, and then passed the bulk of them on to her daughters, who in turn refused to release them.

Franz Kafka's final novel tells the haunting tale of a man known only as K. and of his relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain entrance to the Castle. Although Kafka seemed to consider `The Castle` a failure, critics, in wrestling with its enigmatic meaning, have recognized it as one of the great novels of our century.Unfinished at Kafka's death in 1924, the manuscript of `The Castle` was edited for publication by Kafka's friend and literary executor, Max Brod. Both Brod's edition and the English-language translation of it that was prepared by Willa and Edwin Muir in 1930 have long been considered flawed.This new edition of Kafka's terrifying and comic masterpiece is the product of an international team of experts who went back to Kafka's original manuscript and notes to create an edition that is as close as possible to the way the author left it. The `Times Literary Supplement` hailed their work, saying that it will `decisively alter our understanding of Kafka and render previous editions obsolete.`Mark Harman's brilliant translation closely follows the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, revealing levels of comedy, energy, and visual power that have not been previously ...

Audiokniha od autora: Franz Kafka, čte: Jaroslava Adamová, Radovan Lukavský, Martin Růžek. Citlivá interpretace slavné korespondence milujícího spisovatele! Tři základní pocity prolínají Kafkovým životem a dílem: pocit úzkosti, provázený vědomím neznámé viny, pocit únavy, stále se prohlubující s progresí plicní choroby, a fyziologická nezbytnost trvalé samoty. Milena Jesenská byla v mnohém Kafkovi antipodem. Absolventka dívčího gymnasia Minerva patřila k emancipovanému výkvětu pražské literární společnosti. Franzi Kafkovi byla představena náhodou, ve společnosti Franze Werfla a dalších pražských německo-židovských literátů v roce 1919. Franz Kafka měl za sebou v té době několik milostných vztahů a především bohaté literární dílo. Jesenská, ne dosti šťastně provdaná, si vydělávala žurnalistikou a překlady. Od dubna 1920 se Kafka léčil z akutní tuberkulózy v jihotyrolském Meranu. V té době již byli spjati oba přátelé živou korespondencí, inspirovanou nejprve blízkými literárními zájmy. Po osobním setkání ve Vídni se Franz Kafka do Mileny zamiloval. Milující spisovatel se tu setkal s ženou inteligentní a chápající. Tomu nasvědčují už samy Kafkovy dopisy; v nich vedle čistě osobní linie, podávající analýzu vzájemného citového a milostného vztahu obou partnerů a zejména Kafkova nitra, se setkáváme s řadou filosofických, literárních, ojediněle i politických narážek, které dokazují, že okruh jejich společných zájmů byl velmi obsáhlý. ...

Je to hra o strate a znovunachádzaní človekovej identity, hra o talente a jeho neporaziteľnosti. Kafkovská hra o Kafkovi, akým bol v tajuplnom labyrinte jeho duše. Obe hry sprevádza fundovaný doslov teatrológa a esejistu Ivana Čičmanca, ako aj Príloha Kafka s mnohými aforizmami F. Kafku.

Audiokniha: Franz Kafka Dopisy Mileně Čtou Radovan Lukavský, Jaroslava Adamová a Martin Růžek Překlad Dagmar Eisnerová Hudba Petr Eben Režie Petr Adler Tři základní pocity prolínají Kafkovým životem a dílem: pocit úzkosti, provázený vědomím neznámé viny, pocit únavy, stále se prohlubující s progresí plicní choroby, a fyziologická nezbytnost trvalé samoty. Milena Jesenská byla v mnohém Kafkovi antipodem. Absolventka dívčího gymnasia Minerva patřila k emancipovanému výkvětu pražské literární společnosti. Franzi Kafkovi byla představena náhodou, ve společnosti Franze Werfla a dalších pražských německo-židovských literátů v roce 1919. Franz Kafka měl za sebou v té době několik milostných vztahů a především bohaté literární dílo. Jesenská, ne dosti šťastně provdaná, si vydělávala žurnalistikou a překlady. Od dubna 1920 se Kafka léčil z akutní tuberkulózy v jihotyrolském Meranu. V té době již byli spjati oba přátelé živou korespondencí, inspirovanou nejprve blízkými literárními zájmy. Po osobním setkání ve Vídni se Franz Kafka do Mileny zamiloval. Milující spisovatel se tu setkal s ženou inteligentní a chápající. Tomu nasvědčují už samy Kafkovy dopisy; v nich vedle čistě osobní linie, podávající analýzu vzájemného citového a milostného vztahu obou partnerů a zejména Kafkova nitra, se setkáváme s řadou filosofických, literárních, ojediněle i politických narážek, které dokazují, že okruh jejich společných ...

A highly original and engaging appraisal of Kafka’s life, work, legacy, and thought Franz Kafka was the poet of his own disorder. Throughout his life he struggled with a pervasive sense of shame and guilt that left traces in his daily existence—in his many letters, in his extensive diaries, and especially in his fiction. This stimulating book investigates some of the sources of Kafka’s personal anguish and its complex reflections in his imaginary world. In his query, Saul Friedländer probes major aspects of Kafka’s life (family, Judaism, love and sex, writing, illness, and despair) that until now have been skewed by posthumous censorship. Contrary to Kafka’s dying request that all his papers be burned, Max Brod, Kafka’s closest friend and literary executor, edited and published the author’s novels and other works soon after his death in 1924. Friedländer shows that, when reinserted in Kafka’s letters and diaries, deleted segments lift the mask of “sainthood” frequently attached to the writer and thus restore previously hidden aspects of his individuality. Saul Friedländer is a renowned historian of the Holocaust and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. He is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of History and Club 39 Endowed Chair in Holocaust Studies at UCLA. He ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The complete stories of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial. "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic.” -The New York Times The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis,” "In the Penal Colony,” and "A Hunger Artist” to shorter pieces and fragments that Max Brod, Kafka's literary executor, released after Kafka's death. With the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. "[Kafka] spoke for millions in their new unease; a century after his birth, he seems the last holy writer, and the supreme fabulist of modern man's cosmic predicament.” -from the Foreword by John Updike

Audiokniha: čte Jiří Ornest Proces je nejčtenější, nejpřekládanější a nejčastěji adaptovaný román Franze Kafky (1883-1924). Kdo nezná Kafkův život, je románem vtažen do nepochopitelného soukolí byrokracie, v němž má vše svůj řád, ale ničeho se nelze dobrat, a zvláště ne spravedlnosti; do tolik známých praktik totalitních režimů, kde genocida a zvůle soudnictví jdou ruku v ruce. Cílem je ponížení člověka. Vzít mu důstojnost a dohnat ho k vlastnímu obvinění, v němž je smrt úlevou a vysvobozením. Tím je zachycen obecně platný princip a tím je také román nadčasový. Kdo však životopis Franze Kafky zná, vidí zde další paralelu – ženu. Šest let trýznivé lásky Franze Kafky s Felice Bauerovou, německou dívkou, se kterou byl Kafka dvakrát zasnouben. První zásnuby byly zrušeny sice na Kafkovo přání v Berlíně roku 1914 v hotelu Askánský dvůr, ale snoubenec se přesto cítil nesmírně ponížen, protože se vše odehrálo veřejně. Byl vystaven „soudu“ před celou rodinou Felice, a to nečekal. Krátce na to, začal psát Proces, svůj první román, který končí větou „Jako pes,“ pravil, bylo to, jako by ho stud měl přežít. Manželství vnímal Kafka jako konvenci – být dobrý, správný muž. Takové pojetí se ovšem vůbec neslučovalo s psaním. Mou jedinou vášní jsou ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Výpravná kniha o nejslavnějším pražském rodákovi Franzi Kafkovi přibližuje jeho život a dílo všem, kdo chtějí podrobněji poznat jeho svět. Ožívá v ní svět pražské německy psané literatury, svět jeho zájmů, rodiny a přátel a také svět prazvláštních příběhů, nad kterými si dodnes lámou hlavu čtenáři i odborníci na slovo vzatí. Autorem textu je dvojnásobný držitel ocenění Magnesia Litera, básník, překladatel a germanista Radek Malý. Ilustrace vytvořila Renáta Fučíková, přední česká ilustrátorka a držitelka řady tuzemských i zahraničních cen. Srozumitelně a přitom poutavě je představen Kafkův život, jeho rodina, jeho vztah k ženám, ale především jeho přístup k literární tvorbě. Některá zásadní díla jsou představena zhuštěnou formou komiksu (např. povídka Proměna), z jiných děl v knize najdeme nově přeložené ukázky (např. Dopis otci). Smyslem ukázek i úvodních kapitol je ukázat Kafku jako člověka, který byl do značné míry formován okolnostmi své doby, na což se pod sugestivním vlivem četby a mnohačetných interpretací jeho děl zapomíná. Netradičně je též představen Franz Kafka jako člověk všední: sportovec a turista. Kniha klene oblouk až do současnosti, kdy se z Kafky nejednou stala značka výnosného obchodního artiklu.

Třídílná biografie o životě a díle jednoho z největších, nejznámějších a nejčtenějších autorů světové literatury, pražského německy píšícího spisovatele Franze Kafky (1883-1924) je rozsahem i významem monumentální, výjimečná a zcela ojedinělá. Německý literární historik, který kromě literární vědy vystudoval rovněž filozofii a matematiku, pracoval na třídílném souboru celých osmnáct let. Všechna fakta, každou drobnou jednotlivost pečlivě ověřoval a dokládal, striktně se vyhýbal zaplňování bílých míst v Kafkově životě fikcí, spisovatelovu osobnost a dílo zpodobnil v celé složitosti a komplexnosti. O Kafkovi přitom vypráví nesmírně poutavě, střídá esejistické i vyprávěcí pasáže, zpřítomňuje dobové panorama, každý díl se čte jako román. Roky 1910 až 1915 zachycují intenzivní proměnu Franze Kafky z ovlivnitelného, nevázaného mladíka v odpovědného úředníka, znejistělého a přecitlivělého muže s komplikovaným vztahem k ženám a zároveň v mistra slova, spisovatele, jenž dokázal precizně zachytit své noční můry a prodchnout je zvláštně odtažitým "kafkovským" humorem a ironií. Kafkův život, stále pevně spojený s rodnou Prahou, je ve zmíněném období vytyčen rozhodujícími milníky, které určily Kafkovo další profesní, osobní a umělecké směřování: Kafka se seznamuje, blíže poznává a studuje židovské náboženství, poprvé vystupuje na veřejnosti jako spisovatel, zažívá vypuknutí první světové války a také komplikovaný vztah s Felice Bauerovou, s níž se ...

Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka: Between Image and Language traces the writer Franz Kafka's interest in modern art and visual culture. Examining Kafka's relationship to visuality, the book explores the diversity of images that surrounded Kafka in his home city of Prague-a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences. It maps how Kafka engaged with local painting and sculpture, architecture, and monuments, and also with an array of popular visual media and phenomena from illustrated magazines and advertising to film, photography, dance, and cabaret. Kafka's attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student.

Jak můžeme aplikovat učení největšího antického filozofa v moderním životě?Sokrates je klíčovým athénským filozofem, zdrojem celé západní filozofické tradice a kmotrem stoiků. Celý život učil praktickou filozofii obyčejné lidi v ulicích Athén, přesto je dnes jen málo lidí obeznámeno s moudrostí, kterou nám může nabídnout.Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates vás přístupným a poučným způsobem provede životem jednoho z největších myslitelů v dějinách. Zároveň je první knihou, která se zaměřuje na aplikaci jeho myšlenek do našeho každodenního života. Autor Donald J. Robertson přenáší čtenáře do starověkých Athén a zkušeně splétá poutavé vyprávění o filozofovi, který se vyhýbal hmotným požitkům a stál si za svým přesvědčením i tváří v tvář kontroverzím s nezlomností, což nakonec vyústilo v jeho popravu.Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates zdůrazňuje trvalou hodnotu sokratovské metody pro moderní život. Robertson jako praktikující kognitivně-behaviorální psychoterapeut také využívá svých odborných znalostí, aby odhalil mnoho paralel mezi koncepty a technikami moderní psychologie a Sokratovou filozofií a ukázal, jak nás jeho filozofické postřehy mohou vést a být přínosné i v současnosti.

What makes a winner? Why do some succeed both in life and in business, and others fail? The ‘winner effect’ is a term used in biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you more focused, smarter, more confident and more aggressive. And the more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is that winning can become physically addictive.By understanding what the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of a ‘winner’, how they happen, and why they affect some people more than others, Robertson explains what makes a winner or a loser – and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand better the behaviour of our business colleagues, employees, family and friends.

When Franz Kafka died in 1924, his loyal friend Max Brod could not bring himself to fulfill Kafka's last instruction: to burn his remaining manuscripts. Instead, Brod devoted his life to championing Kafka's work, rescuing his legacy from obscurity and physical destruction. Nearly a century later, an international legal battle erupted to determine which country could claim ownership: Israel, where Kafka dreamed of living, or Germany, where Kafka's three sisters perished in the Holocaust? Benjamin Balint offers a gripping account of the controversial trial in Israeli courts- brimming with dilemmas legal, ethical, and political-that determined the fate of Kafka's manuscripts.
