DVD film Pí a jeho život [Life of Pi, 2012]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Režie: Ang Lee. Hlavní hrdina Pí vyrůstal v indické zoologické zahradě, kterou založil jeho otec. Možná by exotickou živnost převzal, kdyby se rodina nerozhodla přestěhovat do studené Kanady, i s některými zvířaty, jejichž prodejem si chtěli zajistit snazší start v nové zemi. Proti tomu se ovšem postavily přírodní živly, které jedné bouřlivé noci potopily nákladní loď, na níž se Pí s rodiči a bratrem plavil. Chlapec se šťastnou náhodou ocitl v záchranném člunu, který zůstal uprostřed oceánu jako jediná připomínka katastrofy. Nezachránil se však sám, spolucestující tvořili poraněná zebra, hyena, samice orangutana a Richard Parker. To nebyl další přeživší člověk, ale mohutný bengálský tygr, který si rozhodně nemyslel, že by se v nouzových podmínkách mělo něco měnit na přirozeném průběhu potravního řetězce. Tak začala neskutečná plavba, během níž se chlapec musel proměnit v muže, aby dokázal obstát v konkurenci jednoho z největších predátorů naší planety a přežít strastiplnou pouť k pevnině.

Po tragickém ztroskotání japonské nákladní lodi Tsimtsum, převážející bývalého ředitele zoo s rodinou i jeho zvířata z Indie do Kanady, se na rozbouřené hladině Tichého oceánu pohupuje osamělý záchranný člun. Posádka člunu se skládá z hyeny skvrnité, zebry (se zlomenou nohou), samice orangutana Bublinky, dvoumetrákového bengálského tygra - a šestnáctiletého indického chlapce jménem Pí. Kulisy jsou připravené pro jeden z nejpozoruhodnějších anglosaských románů současnosti., Yann Martel se narodil v roce 1963 do rodiny kanadských diplomatů ve španělské Salamance, díky práci svých rodičů však vyrůstal postupně na Aljašce, v Kostarice, Mexiku, ve Francii a v Kanadě. Pochází z literárně velmi činné rodiny: jeho otec získal v roce 1965 Cenu generálního guvernéra za nejlepší francouzsky psanou básnickou sbírku a jeho strýc byl uznávaným kritikem v québeckém deníku La Presse. V rodině se mluvilo francouzsky, Yann Martel však píše výhradně v angličtině. Svou literární kariéru započal v roce 1991 povídkou Fakta v pozadí případu Roccamatiových z Helsinek (The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios), která se později stala základem stejnojmenné sbírky (vydalo Argo 2005). Roku 1996 vydal Martel svůj první román Vlastní já (Self), s nímž se dostal do užší nominace na kanadskou cenu pro nejlepšího debutujícího autora Canada First Novel Award. Za svůj ...

Pí, malý indický chlapec, se na lodi vydává na cestu napříč Tichým oceánem vstříc nové budoucnosti. Loď se potopí, pouze dva trosečníci svádějí u mexických břehů svůj boj o přežití. Darwinovský zákon je neúprosný a vyhrává jen ten nejsilnější. Kdo zvítězí tentokrát? Pí, anebo bengálský tygr Richard Parker? Kouzlo Martelova románu netkví ve čtenářově napětí, zda se chlapci povede zvítězit nad strašlivým zvířetem, ale způsob, jakým toho dosáhne. Kniha je plná návodů a popisů nejrůznějších námořnických a trosečnických dovedností. Pí postupně odhazuje civilizační návyky, stává se masožravcem, šelmou, která si musí vybojovat své místo, zvítězit nad tygrem a přemoci živly. Nestárnoucí neuvěřitelný příběh nepřestává uchvacovat i dnešní čtenáře.

Nový román bestsellerového kanadského autora stejně jako Pí a jeho život vykazuje až překvapivě upřímné paralely Martelova života a jeho knižního hrdiny. Hlavní postavou je spisovatel úspěšného románu Henry, kterému se nedaří s jeho další knihou. Věnuje se tedy amatérskému divadlu, své přítelkyni a čeká na narození potomka. Pak se do jeho života zaplete jeho jmenovec Henry, vycpávač zvířat, který ho poprosí o spolupráci při psaní alegorické divadelní hry o holokaustu. V té hře, již má rozpracovanou už čtyřicet let, o opičákovi a oslici, chce vylíčit své zážitky ze židovského ghetta v Krakově. Zvláštní rozuzlení, vztah dvou Henryů, zajímavá forma i celkový námět k přemýšlení - a samozřejmě opět zvířata - jsou již typickými atributy, na které se u Martela jeho početné čtenářstvo všude po světě již dlouho těší.

A sweeping global history of the birth of modern GreeceIn 1821, a diverse territory in the southern Balkans on the fringe of the Ottoman Empire was thrust into a decade of astounding mass violence. The Greek Revolution and the Violent Birth of Nationalism traces how something new emerged from an imperial mosaic of myriad languages, religions, cultures, and localisms—the world’s first ethnic nation-state, one that was born from the destruction and the creation of whole peoples, and which set the stage for the modern age of nationalism that was to come.Yanni Kotsonis exposes the everyday chaos and brutality in the Balkan peninsula as the Ottoman regime unraveled. He follows the future Greeks on the seaways to Odesa, Alexandria, Livorno, and the Caribbean, and recovers the stories of peasants, merchants, warriors, aristocrats, and intellectuals who navigated the great empires that crisscrossed the region. Kotsonis recounts the experiences of the villagers and sailors who joined the armed battalions of the Napoleonic Wars and learned a new kind of warfare and a new practice of mass mobilization, lessons that served them well during the revolutionary decade. He describes how, as the bloody 1820s came to a close, the region’s Muslims were no more ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''The Life of Herod The Great – like Hurston herself – is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world'' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage*In the 1950s Zora Neale Hurston penned a historical novel reconsidering the life of one of the most well-known biblical figures, Herod the Great. That novel was never published in Hurston''s lifetime. Now for the first time, it is brought to glorious life with commentary from scholar Deborah G. Plant.Far from his villainous portrayal in the New Testament, Hurston casts Herod as a forerunner of Christ, a beloved king who enriched Jewish culture and brought prosperity and peace to Judea. An intimate of both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar, the Judean king lived in a time of war and imperial expansion that was rife with political assassinations and bribery, as the old world gave way to the new.By bringing this complex, compelling and oft misunderstood leader into shining focus, The Life of Herod the Great invites the reader to reassess history and the world as they know it.

We now know that there are many habitable environments within our solar system. Yet a profound question remains: are we alone in the universe? Nathalie A. Cabrol, leading astrobiologist and director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, takes us to the frontiers of the search for life.

We barely talk about them and seldom know their names. Philosophy has always overlooked them; even biology considers them as mere decoration on the tree of life. And yet plants give life to the Earth: they produce the atmosphere that surrounds us, they are the origin of the oxygen that animates us. Plants embody the most direct, elementary connection that life can establish with the world. In this highly original book, Emanuele Coccia argues that, as the very creator of atmosphere, plants occupy the fundamental position from which we should analyze all elements of life. From this standpoint, we can no longer perceive the world as a simple collection of objects or as a universal space containing all things, but as the site of a veritable metaphysical mixture. Since our atmosphere is rendered possible through plants alone, life only perpetuates itself through the very circle of consumption undertaken by plants. In other words, life exists only insofar as it consumes other life, removing any moral or ethical considerations from the equation. In contrast to trends of thought that discuss nature and the cosmos in general terms, Coccia’s account brings the infinitely small together with the infinitely big, offering a radical ...

''The Life of Herod The Great – like Hurston herself – is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world'' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage*In the 1950s Zora Neale Hurston penned a historical novel reconsidering the life of one of the most well-known biblical figures, Herod the Great. That novel was never published in Hurston''s lifetime. Now for the first time, it is brought to glorious life with commentary from scholar Deborah G. Plant.Far from his villainous portrayal in the New Testament, Hurston casts Herod as a forerunner of Christ, a beloved king who enriched Jewish culture and brought prosperity and peace to Judea. An intimate of both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar, the Judean king lived in a time of war and imperial expansion that was rife with political assassinations and bribery, as the old world gave way to the new.By bringing this complex, compelling and oft misunderstood leader into shining focus, The Life of Herod the Great invites the reader to reassess history and the world as they know it. What was in Herod’s time is and will be again. Zora Neale Hurston’s never-before-published novel is a lantern of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
