nadherni porazeni leonard cohen

Leonard Cohen je znám především jako skvělý písničkář a textař, jeho prózy si však s jeho hudební tvorbou co do kvality nijak nezadají - nejlepším důkazem je román Nádherní poražení z roku 1966, smělá, exaltovaná, erotizující vize, v níž se mísí sakrální a profánní podobným způsobem jako v těch nejlepších písních kanadského barda. Bezejmenný vypravěč nám tu líčí tragický milostný trojúhelník z Montrealu šedesátých let, zvláštně propojený s příběhem irokézské světice ze 17. století; jeho vyprávění šokuje svou upřímností, nevyhýbá se ani těm nejintimnějším záležitostem a nejskrytějším hnutím mysli, překypuje smutkem a mystickými vidinami a nabízí překvapivé vykoupení.

Harry Freedman uncovers the spiritual traditions that lie behind Leonard Cohen s profound and unmistakable lyrics. The singer and poet Leonard Cohen was deeply learned in Judaism and Christianity, the spiritual traditions that underpinned his self-identity and the way he made sense of the world.In this book Harry Freedman, a leading author of cultural and religious history, explores the mystical and spiritual sources Cohen drew upon, discusses their original context and the stories and ideas behind them. Cohen s music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, to stories and ideas drawn from the Bible, Talmud and Kabbalah. From his 1967 classic Suzanne, through masterpieces like Hallelujah and Who by Fire, to his final challenge to the divinity, You Want It Darker he drew on spirituality for inspiration and as a tool to create understanding, clarity and beauty.Born into a prominent and scholarly Jewish family in Montreal, Canada, Cohen originally aspired to become a poet, before turning to song writing and eventually recording his own compositions. Later, he became immersed in Zen Buddhism, moving in 1990 to a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy, California where he remained for some years. He died, with immaculate timing, on the day before Donald Trump was elected in 2016, leaving behind him a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius looks deeply into the imagination of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time, providing a window on the landscape of his soul. Departing from traditional biographical approaches, Freedman explores song by song how Cohen reworked myths and prayers, legends and allegories with an index of songs at the end of the book for readers to search by their favourites. By the end the reader will be left with a powerful understanding of Cohen s story, together with a far broader insight into the mystical origins of his inimitable work.

An enigma, Leonard Norman Cohen was possibly the most improbable bohemian intellectual songwriter/singer in music history. He was certainly the working-class hero, the peoples’ poet, the suicidal lamenter of doom and the purveyor of popular songs. But the truth is even more complex. Throughout his life, there were juxtapositions of the most unlikely life choices and influences. To have fashioned a mishmash of ideas, styles and influences into a successful, long-lasting musical career is nothing short of amazing. He blended secular, mystical, sexual and religious themes into ambiguous poetic tapestries and devised an intricate, unique musical style. He possessed a deep baritone voice that, although mesmerising, was sometimes in danger of sounding monotonous. Leonard was able to fuse these elements into a distinctive amalgam that somehow worked on many levels. He did not look the part, play the game or conform to any rules, but Leonard touched hearts and minds all over the world, while writing some remarkable songs, including ‘Halleluyah’ and ‘Suzanne’. Focusing equally on this popular early albums, his more experimental mid-period and his final, late-career renaissance, this book analyses and interprets every album and every individual song to shed light on the phenomenon of Leonard Cohen.

Leonard Cohen has aimed high: to be all Jewish heroes at once. Like Jacob, he struggled with angels. Like David, he sang psalms and seduced women. Like Abraham, he moved from place to place and remained a stranger everywhere. But he never ceased doing what he did best: stepping into avalanches and reviving our hearts. From Montreal and New York to the Greek island of Hydra, Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall follows the singer⠙s cosmopolitan life and examines his perpetual dialogues with God, with himself, and with hotel rooms.After twenty years of research, Christophe Lebold, who spent time with the poet in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen⠙s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission the singer had set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light. The first edition of my book was published in French in late 2013 to good reviews and few readers. Then came 2014. Leonard tells me that if we must meet, it should be soon. He tells me why. A few months later, I am on a plane to Los Angeles.From the first minute, we spoke like old friends, sometimes until late at night. Although he was not well, he let me watch him live for a little. We said things to each other that I can⠙t repeat. It is not that they are secret; they are just very delicate. Like butterflies or hummingbirds. To repeat them would destroy them.We met again in Los Angeles two months later (he seemed in much better shape). We spent a last afternoon together; we hung out; we had a laugh; smoked a cigarette. And it was time to go.We stayed in touch. We were now friends. In his emails, he always talked about his health as an amusing detail, a little whim of the body. Two weeks before his death, I got a last, humorous, loving email warning me that the ⠜body ferociously insists on gravitational rights.⠝ A little nod at my theme of the fall of men and angels. And then, he left. It broke my heart, of course, but that⠙s what hearts are for.

Sbírka písňových textů, básní a deníkových záznamů Leonarda Cohena nazvaná Plamen sice vyšla až po autorově smrti, na jejím uspořádání se však velký kanadský písničkář a básník výrazně podílel - do jisté míry tak lze knihu považovat za jeho umělecký testament. A testament je to vskutku velkolepý a reprezentativní, Cohen se nám tu představuje ve všech svých polohách, od meditativních, lyrických zamyšlení přes propastný smutek po poťouchle humorné pasáže či mrazivě sarkastické šlehy. Vítaným zpestřením jsou autorovy vlastní ilustrace. Kniha vychází v převodu Miroslava Jindry, cohenovského specialisty a legendy českého uměleckého překladu. Leonard Cohen je stejně velký básník jako písničkář. Guardian Zcela jedinečné; Cohenovo dílo nelze napodobit, ať se o to kdokoli snaží sebevíc. Nick Cave

Spisovatel, zpěvák, písničkář - to všechno je Leonard Cohen. Kniha toužení je však sbírkou básní a dodejme tedy k seznamu Cohenových profesí, že je básník, a to básník v Čechách nikoliv neznámý (sbírky Smrt muže, který patřil jedné ženě, Výbor z poezie, Květiny pro Hitlera...). Sbírka vznikala od 90. let do současnosti, z velké části v zenbuddhistickém klášteře na hoře Mt. Baldy v Kalifornii. Tuto horu, jak praví encyklopedický slovník, navštěvují obvykle zkušení lyžaři, které láká technická nesnadnost zdejších sjezdovek . Zkušený mistr slova Cohen zde v tiché kontemplaci pět let působil jako kuchař a tajemník svého duchovního učitele Sasaki Roshiho. Rozhovory se zde netrpí, řekl později. Ke komunikaci obyvatel kláštera sloužila převážně gesta a zvuky zvonků, řehtaček a klapaček. O to větší soustředění nalezl na psaní písňových textů a básní na svá obvyklá témata: láska, B-h, židovství, stáří, smrt.

Leonarda Cohena zná celý svět především jako hudebníka a zpěváka; ne každý už však ví, že geniální kanadský písničkář měl původně literární ambice. Právě o tom vypráví jeho prvotina z roku 1963 - silně autobiografický román Oblíbená hra, po němž Cohen o tři roky později vydal už jen knihu Nádherní poražení a svoji romanopiseckou dráhu uzavřel. Oblíbená hra je barevnou mozaikou sestávající z drobných epizod, které pojednávají o dospívání a raném mužném věku bohatého židovského mladíka z Montrealu jménem Breavman. Vzpomínky z dětství se prolínají s rozhovory s protagonistovou dívkou Shell, s líčením jeho vztahu s dlouholetým kamarádem Krantzem či matematickým maniakem a božím prosťáčkem Martinem. Ač mu všichni slouží jako inspirace na cestě k umění, na to, aby se stal umělcem, je musí nakonec opustit a vyrazit do světa na vlastní pěst.

When Michael Cohen s secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly - with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned - even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges. Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier s claims that he d had clandestine dealings with Russia - reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report. In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of other Trump foes such as former FBI head James Comey, Cohen details - in his inimitable blunt language, with absolutely no holds barred and naming names - his attempt to clear his name and tell the truth about Donald Trump. Chillingly, he also makes clear what happens when you try to speak truth to power, and the power knows no bounds.

A #1 New York Times Bestseller! I read it cover-to-cover. I did not intend to, but I started at the beginning and didn’t put it down until it was over. —Rachel Maddow, MSNBCThis book almost didn’t see the light of day as government officials tried to bar its publication.The Inside Story of the Real President Trump, by His Former Attorney and Personal Advisor—The Man Who Helped Get Him Into the Oval Office Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried.This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump’s lawyer and “fixer,” Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump’s business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decade—not a few months or even a couple of years—could know. Cohen describes Trump’s racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether he’s exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronic fraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trump’s Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches.He shows Trump’s relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soul—a man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips off small business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country.At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic Boss and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass.The real real Donald Trump who permeates these pages—the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating President—will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come.

CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, DAILY TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN AND BBC SCIENCE FOCUS An intimate, unique, and inspiring perspective on the life and work of one of the greatest minds of our time. Filled with insight, humour, and never-before-told stories, it s a view of Stephen Hawking that few have seen and all will appreciate James Clear, author of Atomic Habits An icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their collaboration, offering an intimate account of this giant of science. The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen s daily life and struggles -- as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge s waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finish Stephen s jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe. By weaving together their shared story with a clear-sighted portrayal of Hawking s scientific achievements, Mlodinow creates a beautiful portrait of Stephen Hawking as a brilliant, impish and generous man whose life was not only exceptional but also genuinely inspiring.

Simon Baron-Cohen s The Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain is an unflinching look at the scientific evidence behind the innate sex differences of the mind. Men and women have always seemed to think in entirely different ways, from conversation and communication to games and gadgets. But are these differences created by society, or do our minds come ready-wired one way or another, with female brains tending towards interaction and male towards organisation? And could this mean that autism - rather than being a mental anomaly - is in fact simply an extreme male brain? Why are female brains better at empathasing? How are male brains designed to analyse systems? And what really makes men and women different? Simon Baron-Cohen explores list-making, lying and two decades of research in a ground-breaking examination of how our brains can be male or female but always completely fascinating. Compelling ... Inspiring Guardian This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion from twenty years of experiment Evening Standard A devastating contribution to the gender debate Mail on Sunday A fascinating, thought-provoking book Observer Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor at Cambridge University in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.

Three stories - the never-before-published Picket Line , along with Chick Killer and Ice Man - showing Elmore Leonard at his most terse and thrilling Like all of Leonard⠙s books, Picket Line is a taut and engaging tale. Crime dramas made Leonard famous, but this is a social-justice story. . . . Leonard renders their adventures and their thoughts in spare, elegant, Hemingway-inspired prose. . . . Picket Line builds a convincing portrait of the spirit of a lost, idealistic age. . . . It has the cinematic mastery of scene and dialogue that characterized Leonard⠙s later works - Héctor Tobar, The New York TimesThere are some lines you should never cross... Trouble is in the air at Stanzik Farms, Texas. The workers have gone on strike and tensions are threatening to boil over. As secrets come to a head and migrant workers, cops, foremen, agitators and union bosses collide at the picket line, things start to get very rough indeed. Elmore Leonard⠙s brilliantly orchestrated, never-before-published story Picket Line is accompanied here by two more terse tales of ruthless enforcers and tense stand-offs, riffing on the thing that made him great: his extraordinary ear for dialogue, and for creating situations where the stakes could not be higher for the loser.

The most complete survey of his lifetime of photography. ⠓ The Guardian. With a camera as his backstage pass, Herman Leonard photographed the giants of jazz in their golden age, movie stars on set and on their travels to exotic places, the fashion world of Paris in the 1960s, and the inner sanctums of his beloved New Orleans.This exquisite book, published in a new edition with a beautiful updated cover, is the only full treatment of this extraordinary life and distinctive body of work and gives Leonard⠙s photographs the artistic recognition that they deserve. The greater part of the book consists of his legendary shots of musicians, but uniquely among volumes on Herman Leonard it presents the whole range of his work, including travel, war, celebrity, fashion, and nude photography, while there are also chapters on the images of his early and late periods. It includes rare portraits of the cultural icons of his day, such as Marilyn Monroe on an elephant in the circus, and Albert Einstein at his desk. He was a superb portrait photographer, having learned as a young apprentice to the great Yousuf Karsh of Ottawa.Above all, he is best known for his jazz images. In a fascinating essay, David Houston reveals how Leonard s friendships with jazz greats such as Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington allowed him to capture the magical moments of the Harlem and Paris jazz clubs in the 1940s and 50s, using his unique command of cinematic lighting to capture their essence as performers. As Quincy Jones writes in the Foreword, When people think of jazz, their mental picture is likely one of Herman s.

Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard s Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra) here examines how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world, and how, for instance, we often misperceive everything from our relationships with family, friends and business associates, the reasons for our investment decisions, to our own past.Your preference in politicians, the amount of tip you give the waiter-all our judgments and perceptions-reflect the workings of our mind on two levels, the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades scientific researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious, and a sea change in our understanding of how the mind affects the way we live. These cutting-edge discoveries have revealed that the way we experience life-our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment-is largely driven by the mind s subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed. Employing his trademark wit and his lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self, increasing our understanding of how the human mind works, and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.Leonard Mlodinow received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley, was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, and now teaches at the California Institute of Technology. His previous books include War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra); the two national best sellers The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and The Drunkard s Walk (a New York Times Notable Book and short-listed for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books); Feynman s Rainbow; and Euclid s Window. He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
