Tolstoy is said to have called Les Miserables the greatest novel ever written, and it exerted a powerful influence on the creation of War and Peace. At one level a detective story in which the relentless Inspector Javert obsessively pursues the escaped convict Jean Valjean, culminating in a dramatic chase through the sewers of Paris, at another level Hugo''s masterpiece is a drama of crime, punishment and rehabilitation set against a panoramic description of French society in the years after Napoleon''s fall from power. But this book is also about the metaphysical struggle between good and evil in the soul of every man and every community. Coloured by Hugo''s distinctive philosophy, it is a plea for social justice, political enlightenment and personal charity which continues to speak with the undiminished authority more than a century after its first appearance.

Three men are in love with a beautiful street dancer called Esmerelda: the handsome Captain Phoebus, the wicked Archdeacon Frollo and his adoptive son Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of the cathedral. Naturally, this situation leads to trouble. Wrongly accused of murdering Phoebus, Esmerelda is sentenced to death and rescued from the gallows by Quasimodo, who memorably carries her up to the tower.

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.

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. “Gilliatt lived in the parish of St. Sampson. He was not liked by his neighbours; and there were reasons for that fact.” 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.

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…

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.

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.

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. ...

Three extraordinary characters caught in a web of fatal obsession are at the centre of Hugo''s novel. The grotesque hunchback Quasimodo, bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, owes his life to the austere archdeacon, Claude Frollo, who in turn is bound by a hopeless passion to the gypsy dancer Esmeralda. She, meanwhile, is bewitched by a handsome, empty-headed officer, but by an unthinking act of kindness wins Quasimodo''s selfless devotion. Behind the central figures moves a pageant of picturesque characters, ranging from the cruel, superstitious king, Louis XI, to the underworld of beggars and petty criminals. These disreputable truands'' night-time assault on the cathedral is one of the most spectacular set-pieces of Romantic literature. Hugo vividly depicts medieval Paris, where all life is dominated by the massive cathedral. His passionate enthusiasm for Gothic architecture is set within the context of an epic view of mankind''s history, to which he attaches even more importance than to the novel''s compelling story.

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.

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.
