In the beginning, everything was alive. The smallest objects were endowed with beating hearts . . . Having recalled his life through the story of his physical self in Winter Journal, internationally best-selling novelist Paul Auster now remembers the experience of his development from within, through the encounters of his interior self with the outer world, as well as through a selection of the revealing letters he sent to his first wife, acclaimed author Lydia Davis.An impressionistic portrait of a writer coming of age, Report from the Interior moves from Auster s baby s-eye view of the man in the moon to his childhood worship of the movie cowboy Buster Crabbe to the composition of his first poem at the age of nine to his dawning awareness of the injustices of American life. Report from the Interior charts Auster s moral, political and intellectual journey as he inches his way toward adulthood through the post-war fifties and into the turbulent 1960s.Paul Auster evokes the sounds, smells, and tactile sensations that marked his early life - and the many images that came at him, including moving images (he adored cartoons, he was in love with films), until, at its unique climax, the book breaks away from prose into pure imagery: the final section of Report from the Interior recapitulates the first three parts, told in an album of pictures.At once a story of the times and the story of the emerging consciousness of a renowned literary artist, this four-part work answers the challenge of autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before.

One of the most original and audacious autobiographies ever written by a writer. Le Monde Hand to Mouth tells the story of the young Paul Auster s struggle to stay afloat. By turns poignant and comic, Auster s memoir is essentially a book about money - and what it means not to have it. From one odd job to the next, from one failed scheme to another, Auster investigates his own stubborn compulsion to make art and, in the process, treats us to a series of remarkable adventures and unforgettable encounters. Hand to Mouth is essential reading for anyone interested in Paul Auster, in the figure of the struggling artist, in the nature of poverty, or in baseball.

You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else. In Winter Journal, Paul Auster moves through the events of his life in a series of memories grasped from the point of view of his life now: playing baseball as a teenager; participating in the anti-Vietnam demonstrations at Columbia University; seeking out prostitutes in Paris, almost killing his second wife and child in a car accident; falling in and out of live with his first wife; the scalding, epiphanic moment of clarity in 1978 that set him on a new course as a writer.Winter Journal is a poignant memoir of ageing and memory, written with all the characteristic subtlety, imagination and insight that readers of Paul Auster have come to cherish. An examination of the emotions of a man growing old . . . this book has much to recommend it, and Auster is unsparingly honest about himself. Financial Times

Auster s tragicomic tale of one unforgettable dog from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: a literary voice for the ages (Guardian) Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster s remarkable novel. Bones is the sidekick of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant but troubled poet-saint from Brooklyn. Together they sally forth across America to Baltimore, Maryland, on one last great adventure, searching for Willy s old teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if not, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu? In this brilliant novel, Auster writes with economy, precision and the quirky pathos of noir, addressing the pernicious ubiquity of American consumerism, the nature of love and the core riddles of ontology. Above all, though, this is the affecting tale of a special dog s place in the universe of humans and in the fleeting life of a special man. Publishers Weekly

An instant classic that will be read for decades to come. Guardian A stone cold masterpiece. Rachel Cooke, Observer Spectacular. PW (starred review) Something like David Lynch meets Raymond Chandler in Manhattan . . . as unnerving as it is hypnotic. Buzz MagIt was a wrong number that started it . . .From its iconic opening, The New York Trilogy famously blurred the lines between postmodern literature and noir fiction. Now, for the first time, all three books have been adapted for this landmark graphic novel, each by a different artist, and all overseen by Paul Auster before his death.In David Mazzucchelliâ ™s take on City of Glass, a writer of detective fiction is drawn into a real-life case far stranger than anything he has ever written; in Lorenzo Mattottiâ ™s Ghosts, a private eye is hired to stalk a man only to discover a case so puzzling he descends into madness; and in series Director Paul Karasikâ ™s The Locked Room, another author hopes to cure his writerâ ™s block by solving the disappearance of his childhood friend. As each artist channels the cross-genre thrills of their source material, with its joyous mix of highbrow and lowbrow, the result is a groundbreaking new visual take on a modern classic.

After losing his wife and young sons in a plane crash, Vermont professor David Zimmer spends his waking hours mired in grief. Then, watching television one night, he stumbles upon a lost film by silent comedian Hector Mann, and remembers how to laugh . . .Mann was a comic genius, in trademark white suit and fluttering black moustache. But one morning in 1929 he walked out of his house and was never heard from again. Zimmer s obsession with Mann drives him to publish a study of his work; whereupon he receives a letter postmarked New Mexico, supposedly written by Mann s wife, and inviting him to visit the great Mann himself. Can Hector Mann be alive? Zimmer cannot decide - until a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes the decision for him, changing his life forever. A nearly flawless work . . . Auster will be remembered as one of the great writers of our time. San Francisco Chronicle Auster s elegant, finely calibrated The Book of Illusions is a haunting feat of intellectual gamesmanship.

Auster s unforgettable coming-of-age tale from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: a literary voice for the ages (Guardian) Sinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Invisible opens in New York City in the spring of 1967 when twenty-year-old Adam Walker, an aspiring poet and student at Columbia University meets the enigmatic Frenchman Rudolf Born, and his silent and seductive girlfriend Margot. Before long, Walker finds himself caught in a perverse triangle that leads to a sudden, shocking act of violence that will alter the course of his life.Three different narrators tell the story, as it travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from New York to Paris and to a remote Caribbean island in a story of unbridled sexual hunger and a relentless quest for justice.With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us to the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, authorship and identity to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as one of America s most spectacularly inventive writers.

With an Introduction by Dr Richard Serjeantson, Trinity College, CambridgeSince its first publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes s Leviathan has been recognised as one of the most compelling, and most controversial, works of political philosophy written in English. Forged in the crucible of the civil and religious warfare of the mid-seventeenth century, it proposes a political theory that combines an unequivocal commitment to natural human liberty with the conviction that the sovereign power of government must be exercised absolutely. Leviathan begins from some shockingly naturalistic starting-points: an analysis of human nature as being motivated by vain-glory and pride, and a vision of religion as simply the fear of invisible powers made up by the mind.Yet from these deliberately unpromising elements, Hobbes constructs with unparalleled forcefulness an elaborate, systematic, and comprehensive account of how political society ought to be: ordered, law-bound, peaceful. In Leviathan, Hobbes presents us with a portrait of politics which depicts how a state that is made up of the unified body of all its citizens will be powerful, fruitful, protective of each of its members, and - above all - free from internal violence.

Jak sílí globální klimatické změny a jak se ve veřejném prostoru stále častěji diskutuje o umělé inteligenci, objevují se i různé představy, zda by UI nešla využít právě pro řešení klimatické krize. Marc Coeckelbergh ve své knize Zelený Leviathan aneb Poetika politické svobody (s podtitulem Průvodce svobodou v době klimatické změny a umělé inteligence) ukazuje, že ve chvíli, kdy si položíme otázku Může umělá inteligence zachránit planetu? , bychom se měli ptát i takto: Znamená to, že se budeme muset vzdát politické svobody? Ještě před příchodem Zeleného Leviathana, který by mohl být pověřen řízením změny klimatu, by se tedy klíčovými tématy diskuse měla stát svoboda samotná. Autor hledá řešení především v liberální tradici, pro kterou je osobní svoboda nejvyšší hodnotou, a předkládá originální argumentaci o budoucnosti technologií a životního prostředí. V diskusi s mysliteli politické filosofie rozšiřuje význam svobody a zároveň se snaží vyvarovat takových modelů vlády, jež by se mohly postupně rozvinout jako autoritářské. Navrhuje, abychom vedle diskuse o spravedlnosti a rovnosti promýšleli různá kolektivní opatření a spoluprací na globální úrovni přijali pozitivní a vztahové pojetí svobody. Ta by se už neměla týkat pouze lidí, ale i mimolidských bytostí, a umožňovat rozvoj nikoli jen lidské společnosti, ale i světa jako celku. Na rozdíl od snadného libertariánství a absolutní víry ve spásu prostřednictvím technologií se v knize uvažuje nad takovým řešením globální krize, ve kterém by umělá inteligence sehrála důležitou roli zejména při ustavování nového, více inkluzivního politického kolektivu.

Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before. Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. Richly researched, incredibly atmospheric, and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is set in England during a time of political and religious turbulence. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things.

He that is to govern a whole Nation, must read inhimself, not this, or that particular man; but Man-kind. Thomas Hobbes s Leviathanis not just one of the greatest philosophicaltexts in the English language; it is one of the most important works in thehistory of Western political thought. Almost every major tradition in thecenturies after Hobbes - from radical democracy to authoritarianism - hasbeen influenced by its arguments. Written in exile in a period of dramaticdevelopments - civil war and regicide - Leviathanis in some ways theproduct of its own special circumstances. And yet, at the same time,it deals with fundamental issues that matter to all of us today: the natureand purpose of the state, the relation between human nature and politics,the idea of natural rights, the justification of authority, the concept ofrepresentation, the nature of sovereignty, the limits of obedience, andthe relationship between religious obligations and human ones.This new edition offers a definitive text drawn from more than twentyyears of research by Noel Malcolm, including, in English translation, allthe most significant revisions made in Hobbes s later Latin translation of Leviathan, as well as extensive explanatory notes that elucidate Hobbes slanguage and identify the many Biblical, classical, and other allusionsthat are scattered through his text.

I guess I must have been in two mindsabout the new dayas the daylight godsbegan to march in straight linesgoing I don⠙t know wherefrom ⠘The Spare Room⠙In his first collection for more than a decade, Tom Paulin revisits themes of place, occupation, conflict and legacy, primarily in the context of his native Northern Ireland. Stories and memories, even histories, are shown to be both frail and persistent, troubling and vital. There is a powerful austerity in play as he sets aside the rhetorical force and linguistic dazzle for which he is renowned, to speak simply of later life and the losses it brings: ⠘if only some idea / could find its way / through enemy territory / then I⠙d at last begin / to look up at the sky.⠙ As outward-looking as ever, he also includes here intimate and resonant versions from Brecht and Ronsard, and from the contemporary Palestinian poet, Walid Khazendar.⠘To say the [Fivemiletown] was one of the best books of the Eighties isn⠙t enough: it is one of the best books I know, or for that matter, am capable of imagining . . . what British or Irish poet was doing anything like this?⠙ Michael Hofmann, London Review of Books⠘Tom Paulin is among the best of a great generation of Irish poets.⠙ Sunday Telegraph⠘Paulin often creates the illusion that the poem is being made up as he goes along. Spontaneity is difficult to pull off in poetry but it is a Paulin forté. The casualness is only possible because of the absolute control of form, each poem a windbreak for his words . . .⠙ Kate Kellaway⠘[Tom Paulin s] short, punchy poems are characterised by their ability to evoke images through the smallest details, or through sudden shifts of register ... Mr Paulin s poems fight against lazy uses of language ... in Love s Bonfire Mr Paulin demonstrates the strength that comes with saying less, not unlike relying on only a spark for warmth.⠙ The Economist

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.

‘I can be scratching around at home on an acoustic guitar, or singing a funny little idea into my phone, and all of a sudden, it becomes a beautiful fully fledged song. And I m asking myself, how did we do that again? I still find that fascinating. It’s magic.’ – PAUL WELLERIn Magic: A Journal of Song, Paul Weller talks about his life and music through a personally curated selection of over 100 songs spanning his entire musical career. As one of the most innovative and remarkable songwriters of the last 50 years, Paul Weller has proved to be the ultimate shapeshifter, moving from The Jam’s punk sensibilities to the genre-defying Style Council, and later through a remarkable 30-year solo career. Alongside Lennon and McCartney, Weller is one of few artists that has attained a UK number one album over five consecutive decades, and has also received career defining awards from the BRITs (Lifetime Achievement Award), NME Awards (Godlike Genius Award) and a GQ Award for Songwriter of the Year. Magic: A Journal of Song is the definitive book of Weller s songwriting career from founding The Jam in his teenage years, to creating The Style Council, through to his years as a solo musician. Offering unprecedented insight into Weller’s creative process, his lyrics are accompanied by more than 450 photographs and items of memorabilia, and an illuminating commentary of over 25,000 words. As told to journalist and author, Dylan Jones, Magic is Paul Weller s most candid and intimate account of his musical life to date.‘Paul Weller has proved that he is not only beyond reproach, in some senses he is quite possibly without equal.’ – DYLAN JONES OBE‘The thing I have discovered is that music in its truest sense is beyond any trend or movement or category.’ – PAUL WELLER
