All in My Head - Jessica Morris
All In My Head is a memoir by a woman who in her early fifties received a life-shattering diagnosis. It is about her determined search for effective treatment, the birth of a campaign to get proper data and funding for research into glioblastoma (GBM), and finally her coming to terms with the knowledge that she has reached the end of the road. Jessica Morris takes the reader on a whirlwind journey. How does an ordinary person who last studied biology aged sixteen negotiate with world-renowned doctors and surgeons about cutting-edge treatments she must decide between? How do you remain positive when the median statistics suggest you have only fourteen months to live? How instead do you cast those fears aside and bounce back?All In My Head is much more than a book about GBM. It takes the reader into the life of a woman who when confronted by devastating news chooses to be strong. It is about fighting adversity with hope and finding reasons to be positive in the darkest moments.

I really struggled with the monumental shift that becoming a mother can be, when I found Jessica''s poetry I felt seen, heard, less alone and validated. Her words are healing, deeply relatable and the comforting tonic all new mothers should have on their bedside table. Her children''s books are equally as wonderful, my little boy adored The Rainbow in my Heart so much and we regularly take the sentiments from it to help him through emotional ups and downs. A must for every little girl and boy''s book shelf." - Caroline Foran, No1 Best Selling Author of ''Owning It''"Jessica''s words and poems were a lifeline for me during the hardest most lonely postpartum nights.

Klingsor - Hermann Hesse
V roce 1920 vyšly pod titulem Klingsor poprvé tři povídky Hermanna Hesseho, pozdějšího nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Na první pohled se jeví dosti různorodé, a přece mají jedno společné: vztah k expresionismu. Povídka Klein a Wagner je patrně autorovým nejexpresionističtějším textem, rozdvojením hrdiny se do ní promítá Hesseho zkušenost s psychoanalýzou i nevole k měšťáckému světu. V Dětské duši reflektuje Hesse z pohledu dospělého zážitek z vlastního dětství. V povídce Klingsorovo poslední léto se bezesporu odrazila velká změna, která se udála v Hesseho životě: Jeho první žena Maria Bernoulli byla trvale hospitalizována pro schizofrenii, manželství se rozpadlo, Hesse byl propuštěn z oddělení péče o válečné zajatce, Německo ovládl zhoubný nacionalismus a Hesse přesídlil do slunné Montagnoly ve švýcarském kantonu Ticino, kde našel nejen nový domov, ale i novou lásku k malířce a zpěvačce Ruth Wengerové. Prostřednictvím hlavní postavy, osamělého malíře, Hesse zkoumá umělectví jako možnost a způsob existence. Klingsor vyděšený blížící se smrtí se snaží prožít zbývající čas co nejlépe a nejradostněji, cele se oddává umění, noci tráví u vína a v náručí žen. Povídka vrcholí Klingsorovým posledním uměleckým počinem, autoportrétem, který jako by byl zpodobněním mnoha tváří. Hernann Hesse (1877-1962) je nejvydávanějším německým autorem 20. století, mnohá jeho díla dosáhla milionových nákladů. Intenzita jeho působení se po 2. světové válce výrazně zvyšovala od 50. let nejprve v Koreji a v Japonsku, posléze v 60. a 70. letech obzvláště v USA. Pro mladou generaci se Hesse nechtěně stal jakýmsi guru, mladí z něho čerpali inspiraci pro svůj boj proti autoritám, pro odmítání utilitárnosti západní civilizace, přejímali jeho intenzivní vztah k přírodě, k východním filozofiím a náboženstvím atd. Hesse však v podstatě nikdy neopustil svou křesťanskožidovskou orientaci a dalšími vlivy ji pouze obohacoval.

Eva Hesse: Diaries - Eva Hesse
An insight into the life and mind of an icon of American art through the diaries of sculptor Eva Hesse. ‘I open my new book. What will you tell for the next year. To bring forth a new chapter of wisdom, hopes, joys fears. I shall be honest with myself; and therewith SUCCEED.’ These lines open Eva Hesse’s 1955 diary and lay out the task of her writing. In between weekly to-do lists and personal musings, Hesse used her diaries as a space to process her experience of the world and to reckon with what it means to be an artist. In this extensive collection of Hesse’s diaries, recorded from 1955 to 1970, readers are given an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary sculpture’s most prominent figures. Despite personal tragedies and the difficulties she faced as one of the few female artists in the male-dominated postminimalist movement, Hesse remained intrepid in both her life and craft. Composed of twisted ropes and delicate plastic among other unconventional materials, Hesse’s sculptures defy traditional notions of form; her deeply thoughtful practice as a sculptor and a painter are revealed at length in her writing.

Hermann Hesse - Heimo Schwilk
Žádný německý autor 20. století nenadchl více čtenářů než Hermann Hesse. Jeho dílo je součástí světové literatury. Renomovaný novinář Heimo Schwilk napsal skvělý životopis básníka, který žil stejně intenzivně a rozporuplně jako hrdinové jeho románů. Kniha o propastech rozervané osobnosti, o krizích a triumfech, o lásce a jejím selhání. "Hermann Hesse zemřel 9. srpna 1962 ve věku 85 let. Zanechal dílo čítající bezmála 40 titulů vydávaných po celém světě v úctyhodných 125 miliónech exemplářů. Jen v zemích německé jazykové oblasti se prodalo téměř 25 miliónů jeho knih. Dosud byla publikována přibližně sedmina z jeho 35 000 dopisů. Hesseho recenze obsahují pět svazků, sekundární literatura k jeho životu a dílu plní celé regály. Od jeho smrti byly vydány nesčetné svazky s materiály k jeho tvorbě. Navzdory této široké bázi pramenů překvapuje základní tón utvářených soudů, který se v posledních desetiletích téměř nezměnil. Kdo se Hermannem Hessem zabývá, narazí záhy na celou řadu klišé, kterými se lidé pokouší vysvětlit iritující, ba přímo nesmírný úspěch tohoto autora. Hesse je podle těchto soudů básník mládeže a protestu, buřič proti jakékoli autoritě a zastánce maximálního individualismu. Jeho fenomenální úspěch v USA v období války ve Vietnamu se přičítá hluboce pacifistickému charakteru jeho humanismu inspirovaného Dálným východem. Masové rozšíření jeho knih v Japonsku, Číně a Koreji se vysvětluje jeho funkcí prostředníka mezi kulturami. V Německu je vnímán na jedné straně jako ostýchavý, schizoidní outsider (Stepní vlk), na druhé straně jako osvícený kritik ,černé pedagogiky‘ (Pod koly). Pomáhají však taková klišé fenomén Hesse opravdu pochopit? Je jeho komplexní, fascinující dílo skutečně výrazem veskrze anarchistické povahy? Je načase ukázat, co je vlastně na Hermannu Hessem tak fascinující."

Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse
A modernist work of profound wisdom that continues to enthral readers with its subtle blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Hermann Hesse''s Steppenwolf is revised by Walter Sorell from the original translation by Basil Creighton.At first sight Harry Haller seems a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This blistering portrayal of a man who feels himself to be half-human and half-wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation, and remains a haunting story of estrangement and redemption.Herman Hesse (1877 - 1962) suffered from depression and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse''s subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.If you enjoyed Steppenwolf, you might like Hesse''s Siddhartha, also available in Penguin Classics.''A savage indictment of bourgeois society ... the gripping and fascinating story of disease in a man''s soul''The New York Times

Has the lyricism and intelligence of a literary masterpiece, and the urgency of a thriller'' Marianne Levy, author of Don''t Forget to Scream''So interesting, astute and beautifully crafted. I loved it'' Lucy Jones, author of MatrescenceIn the summer of 2020, when Amanda Hess was pregnant for the first time, a routine ultrasound screening detected a mysterious abnormality in her baby. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, looking for answers online. But rather than allaying her anxieties, her search unleashed a destabilizing onslaught of data and technology, and she was vulnerable - more than ever - to conspiracy, myth, judgement, commerce and obsession. In Second Life, Hess tells her deeply personal story of a pregnancy that falls outside the fêted category of ''normal''. But this is also a story about all of us. For as she made her way through a bizarre digital world of pregnancy apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, ''freebirth'' influencers and hospital reality shows, Hess realised that ideas of eugenics, surveillance, ableism and hyper-individualism are being sold through shiny technologies to a new generation of parents.At once funny, surreal and heartbreaking, Second Life asks compelling questions about how our most fundamental human experiences are fractured and reshaped by technology.

Narcissus and Goldmund - Hermann Hesse
''One of his masterpieces . . . without doubt a great novel'' GuardianOne of Hermann Hesse''s greatest novels, Narcissus and Goldmund is an extraordinary recreation of the Middle Ages, contrasting the careers of two friends, one of whom shuns life in a monastery and goes on the road, tangled in the extremes of life in a world dominated by sin, plague and war, the other staying in the monastery and struggling, with equal difficulty, to lead a life of spiritual denial.An superb feat of imagination, Narcissus and Goldmund can only be compared to such films set in medieval Europe as Bergman''s The Seventh Seal and Tarkovsky''s Andrei Rublev. It is a gripping, profound reading experience - as startling, in its different way, as Hesse''s Siddhartha and Steppenwolf.

Neodolatelnou chutí na sladké, únavou, neplodností, hormonálními problémy, akné, vráskami… A po nějakém čase může dojít k rozvoji závažnějších obtíží, jako je cukrovka druhého typu, syndrom polycystických ovarií, rakovina, demence nebo kardiovaskulární problémy.
