Arthur’s Hall - Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann - e-kniha

eBook: This early work by E. T. A. Hoffmann was originally published in 1816. Born in Konigsberg, East Prussia in 1776, Hoffmann\'s family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works. Probably Hoffman\'s most well-known story, produced in 1816, is \'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King\', due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky\'s ballet The Nutcracker. In the same vein, his story \'The Sandman\' provided both the inspiration for Leo Delibes\'s ballet Coppelia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called \'The Uncanny\'. (Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the \"unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature.\") Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900\'s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Diablove elixíry - Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann

Bohato fabulovaný románový príbeh kapucína Medarda. Strhujúco vyrozprávaný E. T. A. Hoffmannom, klasikom nemeckej literatúry. Vťahuje čitateľa do hlbín ľudskej duše, do schizofrénie jej intímnych poryvov vyvolávaných ustavične sa meniacimi vratkými polohami na tenkej hranici medzi dobrom a zlom. Autor virtuózne hrá (sám aj hudobný skladateľ) na citlivých strunách tajomna až príšerna, istôt človeka i jeho vnútornej rozorvanosti, náhle meniac hudobný motív aj tóninu, aby nakoniec vyviedol skladbu do symfonickej harmónie. Majstrovsky vykresľuje (sám aj maliar) scény blaha i najhrozivejšej záhuby, frivolnej pýchy i pokornej kajúcnosti, až naostatok jeho dielo vyusťuje do zátišia vnútornej vyrovnanosti.

Životní názory kocoura Moura - Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann

Ilustrované vydání jednoho z nejoriginálnějších a nejzábavnějších románů 19. století, který nemá v dějinách literatury obdoby, v kongeniálním překladu Hanuše Karlacha a s ilustracemi Michaila Gavričkova. Hoffmannovy Životní názory kocoura Moura, považované za vrchol autorovy tvorby a stěžejní opus pozdní německé romantiky, spatřily světlo světa již před dvěma sty lety, ale plného uznání, ocenění, ba nadšeného přijetí se dočkaly až ve 20. století. E. T. A. Hoffmann totiž předběhl svou dobu a stvořil dílo, které je svou formou a důmyslnou kompozicí vskutku ojedinělé: sám Hoffmann v něm vystupuje jako vydavatel, jenž vyhověl přání svého přítele a rozhodl se knižně vydat memoáry jistého „mladého autora skvělého nadání“, jímž je ve skutečnosti kocour, který si říká Mour. Záhy se ovšem ukáže, že učený kocour do svého rukopisu omylem zamíchal stránky z jiného textu, který objevil u svého pána, a sice z knihy pojednávající o životě geniálního skladatele a kapelníka Johanna Kreislera. Tyto stránky, které kocour používal dílem jako podložku, dílem jako piják, byly nedopatřením rovněž vytištěny, a tak se ve výsledné podobě díla jakoby omylem prolínají dvě nezávislé dějové linie – satiricky vyznívající autobiografie poněkud samolibého kocoura-literáta a tajuplný příběh, přesněji řečeno fragmenty příběhu, výstředního romantického hrdiny-umělce Johanna Kreislera vystaveného všemožným protivenstvím. Životní názory kocoura Moura jsou tedy polyfonním dílem, svou výstavbou připomínajícím princip hudebního kontrapunktu. Zdánlivě nesouvisející příběhy se totiž ve skutečnosti doplňují, prostupují, jeden v druhém se zrcadlí a vzájemně osvětlují. Právě prolínání obou příběhů činí z četby tohoto „dvojrománu“ nevšední čtenářský požitek. Řečeno slovy překladatele Hanuše Karlacha: „Tyto posuny, zrcadlení, přeskoky jsou zdrojem humoru, který má mnoho poloh, od laskavé úsměvnosti přes ironickou jízlivost až k satirické hořkosti; který však, a to je pro nás podstatné, se realizuje až ve čtenářově mysli, čtenářovou imaginací, která teprve dotváří dílo v komplementární celek a se kterou spisovatel zcela záměrně takto počítá. Tím vším je román nejen výsostným literárním dokladem doby, ale i rukavicí pravé modernosti hozenou přes průrvu času literárním tvůrcům soudobého světa, podnětem k zamyšlení, jaké že to dnes prvky činí literaturu vpravdě uměním.“Ernst Theodor amadeus Hoffmann, známější jako E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822), byl německý spisovatel, hudební skladatel, dirigent, kritik, malíř a právník. Jako umělec a myslitel navázal na jenské romantiky, rozvíjel myšlenky Friedricha Schlegela a Novalise, například učení o univerzálnosti umění, romantické ironii a syntéze umění. Proslul především jako autor fantaskních a satirických děl. Jeho prozaické dílo sestává zejména z řady povídek, novel a také dvou románů. Mezi jeho nejznámější díla patří například Rytíř Gluck, Slečna ze Scudery, Mistr Blecha, sbírka povídek Noční kousky, Ďáblův elixír nebo Životní názory kocoura Moura. Je také autorem prózy Louskáček a myší král, jež se stala předlohou pro známý balet.

Joseph and His Friend - Bayard Taylor - e-kniha

eBook: ‘Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania’ was written by American author Bayard Taylor. After marrying a wealthy woman, young Joseph discovers a deep and powerful love for his friend Philip. Confused by his feelings and unhappy with his manipulative wife, Joseph’s love for Philip grows stronger. Considered to be the ‘first gay novel’ in America, the book discusses the friends\' special attachment and their romantic but not sexual relationship. Noted for its enigmatic treatment of homosexuality, critics were divided over their interpretation of the novel with many arguing it was a political argument for gay relationships while others thought it an idealization of male spirituality. A great read for fans of E. M. Forster\'s novel \'Maurice\' and \'Brokeback Mountain\' by Annie Proulx. Bayard Taylor (1825–1878) was an American poet, author, literary critic and diplomat. Widely travelled, he was known primarily for his travelogues, which were popular in the UK and the United States. Visiting California at the height of the gold rush, Taylor published a hugely successful travel book called ‘El Dorado; or Adventures in the Path of Empire’ (1850). His other works include ‘Views Afoot, or Europe seen with Knapsack and Staff’ (1846), ‘A Journey to Central Africa; or Life and Landscapes from Egypt’ and ‘A Visit to India, China and Japan in the Year 1853’ (1855). Taylor is also credited with writing the ‘first gay novel’ in America, with his 1870 novel ‘Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania.’ His later work included Poems of the Orient (1855) and his famous translation of ‘Faust’ (1870–71).

Franz Kafka and his Prague Contexts - Marek Nekula - e-kniha

eBook: Marek Nekula připravil soubor studií o tom, jak Praha formovala Kafkovu osobnost a dílo. Kniha začíná kritickou diskuzí o problematickém přijímání Franze Kafky v Československu, které začalo na konferenci v Liblici v roce 1963. Zde byl Kafka zachráněn před cenzurou za cenu "přepsání" jeho německého a židovského literárního a kulturního kontextu s cílem vyzdvihnout český vliv na jeho tvorbu. Studie se zaměřují na židovské sociální a literární prostředí v Praze, Kafkovu německo-českou dvojjazyčnost a jeho znalost jidiš a hebrejštiny. Kafkův bilingvismus je probírán v kontextu současných esencialistických názorů na spisovatelův jazyk a identitu. Nekula také věnuje zvláštní pozornost Kafkovu vzdělání, zkoumá jeho studia českého jazyka a literatury, jakož i jeho českou četbu a její roli v jeho intelektuálním životě. Knihu uzavírá otázkou, jak Kafka "četl" své městské prostředí.

eBook: Dva autoři – lingvistka a literární vědec – se ve svých individuálních i společných studiích zaměřují na široce chápanou dialogičnost jako základ výstavby různých typů textů a snaží se uplatňovat dialogismus jako analytickou metodu. Ve čtyřech oddílech knihy věnují pozornost 1) dialogům korespondenčním (dopisům významných osobností české kultury, jako jsou M. Aleš, J. Neruda, K. Čapek, J. Voskovec a J. Werich, J. Kolář, ale i dopisům současných mladých lidí a korespondenci elektronické); 2) dialogům dramatickým (především v současných českých hrách: dvě hry cimrmanovské, Havlovo Odcházení aj.); 3) dialogům intersémiotickým (mezi výtvarníky a slovesnými umělci: ať už vznikaly ilustrace, koláže, fotografie, komiksy atd. jako reakce na verbální texty, nebo naopak texty byly inspirovány díly výtvarnými); 4) textům (nejen uměleckým), které se vyznačují oscilací mezi dialogem a monologem: Dykova Milá sedmi loupežníků, Kunderovy Monology či kázání Tomáše Halíka…

The Journal of Julius Rodman - Edgar Allan Poe - e-kniha

eBook: An authentic description of an expedition across the heart of the Rocky Mountains that turned out to be an elaborate hoax."The Journal of Julius Rodman" is Edgar Allen Poe's second attempt at producing a lengthier work and until recently even hardcore fans have missed out on this adventurous gem. It tells the story of the first expedition over the Rocky Mountains conducted by "civilized man" and is packed with wild and vivid nature descriptions, encounters with Native American tribes and supreme emotions bringing Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Revenant" to mind. Intended as a serialized novel, it was published anonymously in six instalments in Burton's Gentleman Magazine in 1839-40 while Poe was working as a contributing editor. This novel, though unfinished, is extremely enjoyable and even prominent Senators initially believed the expedition to be a true story. A must-read for bona fide Poe fans.

Prague English Studies and the Transformation of Philologies - Martin Procházka, Ondřej Pilný - e-kniha

eBook: Monografie připomene sté výročí pražských anglických studií, která byla oficiálně ustavena v roce 1912 jmenováním Viléma Mathesiuse, zakladatele Pražského lingvistického kroužku a prvního profesora anglického jazyka a literatury na Univerzitě Karlově. Kromě přehodnocení práce hlavních představitelů (Mathesius, Vančura a další) a posuzování vývoje na literaturu orientovaných pražských studií angličtiny a s ohledem na pražský strukturalismus, se kniha zaměří na metodologické problémy oboru v souvislosti s transformací humanistické a stejně tak moderní filologie, hledání souvislostí mezi dvěma historicky odlišnými interdisciplinárními projekty: humanistickou filologií a strukturalistickou sémiologií. Spolu s Paulem de Man, lze tento odkaz identifikovat jako problém rétoriky - jeho těžko postřehnutelné postavení mezi gramatikou a logikou, strukturou a významem a performativitou a hodnotou jazyka. Přehodnocení tohoto problému se zdá mít zásadní význam pro pochopení dynamiky současné transformace filologie a strukturalistické metodologie, jež jsou diskutovány v závěrečné části. Další zásadní metodologický problém je metodologie literární historie. Ačkoli se představitelům pražských anglických studií podařilo překonat ztuhlost synchronních postupů, jejich zpracování dynamických struktur je stále značně poplatný tradičním pojetí funkce a hodnoty ._x000D_ Kniha je rozdělena do dvou částí: první se pokouší přehodnotit význam odkazu Mathesiuse (v literární teorii, historii a teorii překladu) a jeho následovníků (především Zdeňka Vančury a Jaroslava Hornáta), druhá zkoumá různé souvislosti a důsledky pražského strukturalismu, od politických aspektů ruských formalistických teorií, přes estetiku groteskní strukturalistické psychoanalýzy a nedávné textové genetiky._x000D_

Prague and Central Bohemia - Martin Ouředníček - e-kniha

eBook: The theme of socio-spatial differentiation has belonged to the core issues of social geography and urban studies for a long time. The general aim of the book is to describe and explain the current socio-spatial differentiation of Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and the processes that have influenced it during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The book offers its own theoretical perspective on the structuration of spatial patterns and the social environment, a general view of regional development, and the main socio-spatial processes of the period after transition. Maps are an important part of this volume and concentrate crucial information within most chapters. Apart from the static information described in the maps, the book offers a look at current population “processes”, as hinted at by the subtitle of the publication. The presentation and evaluation of “processes” require more dynamic forms of cartographic visualisation and new methods of investigation. Among them, new tools of segregation measurement, various approaches for the use of mobile phone data, and an innovative form of population forecast are presented in the book. The common thread connecting all chapters is a regional focus on Prague and the Central Bohemian Region and a quantitative approach to comparing spatial patterns and regional processes.
