Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
A brilliant modern translation by Christine Donougher of Victor Hugo s thrilling masterpiece, with an introduction by Robert Tombs. This is the best translation of the novel available in English, as recommended by David Bellos in The Novel of the Century. Victor Hugo s tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him.But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty. A magnificent achievement.It reads easily, sometimes racily, and Hugo s narrative power is never let down ... An almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century to new readers in the twenty-first - William Doyle, Times Literary Supplement The year s most interesting publication from Penguin Classics was [...] a new translation by Christine Donougher of the novel we all know as Les Miserables. You may think that 1,300 pages is a huge investment of time when the story is so familiar, but no adaptation can convey the addictive pleasure afforded by Victor Hugo s narrative voice: by turns chatty, crotchety, buoyant and savagely ironical, it s made to seem so contemporary and fresh in Donougher s rendering that the book has all the resonance of the most topical state-of-the-nation novel - Telegraph Christine Donougher s seamless and very modern translation of Les Miserables has an astonishing effect in that it reminds readers that Hugo was going further than any Dickensian lament about social conditions [...]The Wretched touches the soul - Herald Scotland

Ruy Blas - Victor Hugo - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Romantická tragédie Victora Huga Ruy Blas je příběhem velké lásky, podlé intriky a politické manipulace, který zaznívá překvapivě současně, i když od autorova narození uplynulo už více než dvě stě let.Victor Hugo napsal Ruy Blase během několika týdnů. Inspiraci našel v literatuře i ve skutečných historických postavách, které ovšem zdaleka nezobrazil věrně.. Když Francie slavila dvousté výročí narození svého velkého klasika, objevil se na první francouzské scéně v roce 2001 Ruy Blas znovu v pozoruhodné inscenaci, která vyzdvihla téma lidské identity, snu, politických machinací a rozvratu řádu. O tom, že Ruy Blas není jen akademickým dramatem v mechanických alexandrinech, se nyní můžete přesvědčit i vy. Jistě tomu napomůže i výkon Václava Vosky.

Toilers of the Sea (1866) is a novel by Victor Hugo. Written while Hugo was living in exile on the island of Guernsey, Toilers of the Sea is a story of adventure that expresses the everyday struggles of a fool in love while capturing the changes wrought by political and economic revolution in Europe. â œGilliatt lived in the parish of St. Sampson. He was not liked by his neighbours; and there were reasons for that fact.â Viewed as an outsider by the seafaring community of Guernsey, Gilliat lives alone in a house deemed haunted, though no one would dare visit him anyway. Despite his skill as a fisherman, the townspeople claim he is a malevolent sorcerer, all but condemning him to a life of total seclusion. In love with the niece of a prominent shipowner, he volunteers to salvage what he can from a vessel that was wrecked some distance from the coast. Braving the elements and coming face to face with a vicious octopus, Gilliatt seizes his only chance at escaping his lonely circumstances, at finding love at last.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume Two - Franklyn Sills
Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics presents a comprehensive grounding in the clinical skills needed in a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy. Author Franklyn Sills places particular emphasis on developing what he terms perceptual skills, diagnostic skills that enable the practitioner to perceive the subtle sensations and intuitive insights that are the groundwork of most forms of holistic somatic therapy.The biodynamic approach has its origins in the clinical exploration of W. G. Sutherland, DO, (1873-1954), the founder of osteopathy in the cranial field and forefather of craniosacral therapy. In the last ten years of his life, his work changed from a biomechanical approach to a fully holistic orientation toward the ordering and enlivening forces present in the human system. Sutherland described his experiences of a mysterious presence, the Breath of Life, from which ordering forces and healing intentions arose. His work then shifted from biomechanics to biodynamics; from analysis and motion-testing to an appreciation of the unfolding of the inherent treatment plan. Sutherland encouraged practitioners to use no outside force whatsoever, but to allow the inherent ordering forces, which he called potency, to make the decisions and do the work.Franklyn Sills pioneered the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy outside the osteopathic profession. This approach has now spread around the world in various forms. Sills wrote the early books in this field, and this new book now brings the text up to date. Foundations in Craniosacral Therapy, Volume Two expands on the work described in the previous volume, starting with an overview of a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy, which emphasizes the suspensory nature of the human system. Here we review and deepen our understanding of the three bodies —the physical, fluid, and tidal bodies. We also review and expand upon the suspensory nature of the holistic shift—the physical body suspended in the fluid body, in turn suspended in the tidal body—within the context of the inherent treatment plan.The following chapters of the book orient to our earliest life experiences—the embryonic period and the pre- and perinatal experience—with chapters devoted to birth, birth dynamics, and craniosacral approaches oriented both to birth trauma and to the tissue patterns it generates. Here we orient to the prenate and birthing infant as a sentient being having and responding to life experience. Further chapters orient to the primal/notochord midline and the tissue structures that form around it. We explore the dynamics of the pelvis, vertebral axis, cranial base, face and hard palate. Volume Two finishes with four important chapters on the neurophysiology of stress and trauma and related craniosacral and verbal skills. All chapters include appropriate biodynamic approaches to traumatization and CNS activation.

Bídníci - Victor Hugo - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Román Les Misérables napsal a v roce 1862 nechal vydat Victor Hugo. V českém překladu se zcela zažil název Bídníci, byť k tématu knihy by se spíše hodil pozdější překlad Marie Majerové, která hlavní hrdiny nazvala Ubožáky. Zaslouží si totiž spíše naši lítost než opovržení: navzdory veškeré své snaze a lidským kvalitám totiž v jejich světě není možné odčinit jediný hřích mládí. Hlavní postavou ve spleti figur a figurek Hugova dodnes známého románu je trestanec Jean Valjean, původně klestič stromu. Ten se z nouze vloupá do domu, aby ukradl bochník chleba. Je chycen a zavřen na pět let na galeje. Tím je na celý život ocejchován, svůj trest si navíc prodlouží neustálými pokusy o útěk. Když je konečně propuštěn, má již své nejlepší roky dávno za sebou a výsledkem justiční „převýchovy“ je zhrublý a drsný muž, kterého změní až setkání s biskupem Myrielem, který mu bez podmínek a vřele nabídne pohostinství a neudá jej ani v okamžiku, kdy mu Valjean ukradne stříbrné příbory. Bývalý trestanec se pod vlivem této příhody rozhodne žít lepší život – rameno spravedlnosti je však nelítostné a na nic se neohlíží. Ať žije Valjean sebectnostněji, stále má v patách komisaře Javerta…

Bídnici - Victor Hugo
Příběh napraveného galejníka Jeana Valjeana, který získá bohatství a až do konce života se obětavě věnuje pomoci těm nejchudším, bývá považován za nejznámější francouzský román všech dob. Bývalý trestanec, odsouzený za krádež bochníku chleba k těžkému žaláři, přijme pohostinství biskupa Myriela a okrade jej. Biskup však ani poté Valjeana nezavrhne a tento skutek zcela promění Valjeanův život. Někdejší galejník se rozhodne nezištně pomáhat ostatním. Stane se váženým členem společnosti, a posléze dokonce starostou, ukrývajícím se pod jménem Madeleine. Ujme se osiřelé dívky Cosetty, jejíž matce, nucené živit se i prostitucí, slíbí, že se o Cosettu postará. Minulost však Valjeana stále dohání a ten nepřestává být pronásledován komisařem Javertem. Román je úchvatnou společenskou freskou, barvitým vylíčením Paříže 30. let 19. století s jejími tajemnými zákoutími, kláštery a dvorky, plnými lidského utrpení a zoufalství.Druhá kniha je pokračováním příběhu polepšeného trestance Jeana Valjeana. Ten se spolu s Cosettou, která časem vyrostla v krásnou mladou ženu, věnuje i nadále dobročinnosti. Valjean je však stále pronásledován inspektorem Javertem. Osudy Cosetty i Valjeana se v tomto díle protnou s příběhem studenta práv Mariem Pontmercym. Velkou lásku mezi ním a Cosettou bude komplikovat řada nedorozumění, houstnoucí atmosféra v Paříži a také boj na barikádách. Kritikou sociální nespravedlnosti a vírou v to, že člověk může svojí láskou a soucitem společenskou nespravedlnost překonat, oslovil Victor Hugo generace čtenářů a je pro nás inspirací dodnes.Monumentální a nesmrtelný román Bídníci je považován za jedno ze stěžejních literárních děl 19. století a dočkal se řady filmových nebo i muzikálových zpracování. V ceně jsou zahrnuty obě samostatně vázané knihy.

Předmluva ke Cromwellovi - Victor Hugo
Nejvýraznější manifest romantického dramatu, v němž směle předestře základy nového žánru založeného na svobodě inspirace a formy, píše pětadvacetiletý Victor Hugo roku 1827. Předmluva je ve skutečnosti doslovem k monumentálnímu historickému dramatu Cromwell,jehož výkladu je ovšem věnovaná jen jedna její část. Esej odráží snahu mladého umělce o zásadní průlom v myšlení o umění a je nejdůležitějščím projevem směřování mladé umělecké a intelektuální generace ve Francii první třetiny 19. století, generace, která se otvírá vlivům Evropy a chce radikálně skoncovat s tyranií klasicistního kánonu tří jednot.

Chrám Matky boží v Paříži - Victor Hugo
Fenomenální francouzský výtvarník Georges Bess završil svou volnou trilogii rozmáchlých komiksových adaptací klasických literárních děl. Po Draculovi a Frankensteinovi sáhl lehce mimo nejstarší zdroje fantastických literárních žánrů a zvolil slavný román Victora Huga Chrám Matky Boží v Paříži. I když však nejde o fantastiku, tento román nabízí stejně spektakulární obrazové možnosti, ať už jde o gotickou architekturu, bizarní postavy nebo kolorit středověké Paříže – a Bess toho využil naplno a úchvatně. Nesmrtelný příběh Quasimoda a Esmeraldy v jeho podání našel zobrazení a výklad, jaký při vší úctě přesahuje možnosti kinematografie, protože využívá způsobů vyjádření, jakými vládne právě jen komiksové médium.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame - Victor Hugo
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being. Set in medieval Paris, against the backdrop of the brooding Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Hugo s take on the classic story of Beauty and the Beast tells of the hunchbacked, grotesque bellringer, Quasimodo. Rejected by Parisian society because of his appearance, Quasimodo resides in Notre-Dame, harbouring a love for the only woman that pities him, a gypsy named Esmerelda. However, a sinister archdeacon also covets Esmerelda, and when his advances are spurned, he seeks to destroy her.

Falsely accused of trying to murder Phoebus, who attempts to rape her, Esmeralda is sentenced to death and rescued from the gallows by Quasimodo who defends her to the last.The subject of many adaptations for stage and screen, this remains perhaps one of the most romantic yet gripping stories ever told.
