nejlepsi hlavy me generace allen ginsberg

V roce 1977, po dvaceti letech od vydání Ginsbergovy přelomové básně Kvílení a Kerouacova kultovního románu Na cestě, se Allen Ginsberg rozhodl vyučovat kurs věnovaný literárním dějinám beatnické generace. Ginsberg znal všechny zásadní postavy beatnického hnutí osobně a sám výrazně ovlivnil veřejné mínění ohledně beatnických básníků a spisovatelů; těžko by se našel komentátor či historik, který by dokázal hovořit o počátcích i vývoji beatnické scény se srovnatelnou zasvěceností. Rozumí se samo sebou, že přednášky v podání této legendární osobnosti byly okořeněné necenzurovanými postřehy a k akademické suchopárnosti měly daleko. V knize Nejlepší hlavy mé generace Ginsberg vychází především z vlastní zkušenosti, popisuje svá první setkání s Kerouacem, Burroughsem i dalšími členy beat generation a nabízí vskutku neotřelý, kritický a přitom nesmírně živý pohled na jedno z nejvýznamnějších literárních hnutí dvacátého století.

A unique history of the Beats, in the words of the movement''s most central member, Allen Ginsberg, based on a seminal series of his lecturesIn 1977, twenty years after the publication of his landmark poem ''Howl'', Allen Ginsberg decided it was time to teach a course on the literary history of the Beat Generation - partly to preserve his own memories of those years. The Best Minds of My Generation presents the best of these candid, intimate and illuminating lectures, revealing Kerouac, Burroughs and the rest of the Beats as Ginsberg knew them: friends, confidantes, literary mentors and fellow visionaries in a group who started a revolution.''Marvellous ... spellbinding ... preserving intact the story of the literary movement Ginsberg led, promoted and never ceased to embody'' The New York Times Book Review''An awesome exhaustive feat ... fascinatingly readable'' Sunday Times''Astonishingly intimate ... Full of penetrating insight and fascinating literary gossip, the book is a major contribution to the core Beat canon ... situates the Beats in cultural history in a way that no other exploration of their work does'' San Francisco Chronicle

Mezi nejznámější básnické skladby Allena Ginsberga patří vedle Kvílení i Kadiš, velkolepý žalozpěv na básníkovu zesnulou matku, jejíž duševní choroba silně poznamenala jeho dětství a dospívání. Zárodky básně vznikly v Paříži v roce 1957, kde si Ginsberg společně s beatnickými tvůrci Gregorym Corsem, Peterem Orlovskym a později i Williamem S. Burroughsem prostřednictvím halucinogenů "rozšiřoval sféru vědomí". V Kadiši se mu časem podařilo vypsat se z hlubokých traumat, přičemž k odemknutí bran podvědomí použil divotvorné klíče: valná část Kadiše vznikla pod vlivem morfinu a metamfetaminu a konečnou revizi provedl až po návratu z Peru, kde k tomu účelu požil ayahuasku neboli yagé. Výmluvné jsou názvy dalších básní ve sbírce, například "Meskalin", "Kyselina lysergová", "Ether" či "Rajský plyn"; autor v nich opět vymítá ducha Naomi Ginsbergové, lamentuje nad iluzorností univerza, zakouší pocity tvůrčího zmaru i extázi z duchovního prozření a v psychedelickém proudu vědomí ze sebe nechává volně řinout vize, nářky, chvalozpěvy i obavy ze zániku smrtelného těla - aby k nám po šedesáti letech skrze ony širokodeché verše stále živě promlouval jeho duch. Básnická sbírka Kadiš a jiné básně (Kaddish and Other Poems), kterou Allen Ginsberg vydal v roce 1961 u Lawrence Ferlinghettiho v nakladatelství City Lights Books, obsahuje jeho básně z konce padesátých let (1958-1960) v již klasickém překladu Jana Zábrany. Čtyři dosud nepřeložené básně pak přeložil Bob Hýsek.

'I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys' Allen Ginsberg's poetry fomented a social and political revolution, and with its rawness and spontaneity changed the course of the American lyric. To read his profane and prophetic verses, about sex, death and America, as well as the humour of his humiliations and self-transformations, is to stretch consciousness and grasp an entire era.

Hravá romantická komedie od autorky bestselleru Nejlepší omyl mého života. Skvělé plány a pozitivní myšlení jsou výborná věc, ale nejsou vám nic platné, když jdete pozdě na důležitý divadelní konkurz a režisér je sebestředný blbec! Jagger Hartley je sice mladý, talentovaný, výjimečně pohledný a má slavné příjmení, tím však výčet jeho kladů končí. Kdyby jen tušil, že Belle Mathewsová není žena, která by se smířila s vyhozením z konkurzu. Svůj konkurz dokončí, i kdyby si Jaggera musela vzít jako rukojmí. Což vlastně tak trochu udělala... ups! Ale ani únos nemohl zastínit, jak nadaná Belle je – rozená hvězda, která patří na jeviště. Škoda, že ho šíleně přitahuje jak její nepopiratelná krása, tak její velkorysé srdce. Takže buď se on stane jejím největším úspěchem, nebo ona tím jeho.

The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, the Right, and the Jews is a clarion call—not only to Jews, but to all Americans. As a nation, we must wake up and face the rising anti-Semitic threat and act accordingly.But that threat is not coming from its usual source. The most virulent form of anti-Semitism today, Ginsberg warns, is the result of toxic identity politics and anti-Israeli sentiment coming from today’s political Left. Perhaps the most persecuted people in all of history, Jews have stood tall in the face of unprecedented persecution in all places, at all times. Their culture’s rigorous emphasis on education and achievement catapults them, Ginsberg argues, to the upper echelons of the societies in which they live. But their success too often breeds resentment and jealousy, leading to an ugly anti-Semitism that has led, historically, to unspeakable violence. In this urgent new work, Dr. Benjamin Ginsberg—political scientist, professor, and bestselling author—exposes the ugly face of this new, progressive anti-Semitism (which is also thriving in Europe). To combat it, he urges American Jews to form new political alliances, particularly with evangelical Christians. The stakes of not doing so, says Ginsberg, are horrifically high—not only for the survival of the Jewish people, but for America’s survival. After all, the Jews have contributed immeasurably to America’s scientific, cultural, and economic achievements. Jews have been good for America; and America has been good to the Jews. But what once was so can change ... and Jews can never afford to forget their history. Read this book and learn: Why Jewish people have always persisted in the face of persecution; Why the new face of Jewish persecution has found a home on university campuses, Left-leaning media outlets, and other unlikely places; The high and horrible costs of anti-Semitism; The profound benefits of philo-Semitism; The details of the new alliances that must be made to ensure the continuing success of American Jews—and America itself; And much, much more... In this must-read tour de force, Ginsberg enlightens readers by tracing the history of the Jewish people—starting from the children of Abraham and ending with Jews today—and urging Jews and Americans to learn the lessons of that history. Now.

Reckoning with Race is a firsthand account of race relations in America from award-winning journalist, author, and former CNN commentator, Rick Allen. Allen''s collection of essays shows the progress our country has made -- and how much further we have to go. In his fifty-year career as an award-winning journalist, CNN commentator, and author of multiple books, Rick Allen has had a front-row seat on dramatic change in race relations in America. In Reckoning with Race, a collection of eighteen essays, he explores his ongoing efforts to understand the struggle of black and white Americans to navigate a shared history at once wicked and intimate, full of love and hate, as they seek to level an uneven playing field. Allen examines issues from the era of Reconstruction through Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement, the rhythms of resistance and progress, into today''s contentious debates over redlining, reparations, and critical race theory. Starting as a reporter with the Atlanta Constitution in 1972, Allen got to know and befriend legendary black political figures including Julian Bond, John Lewis, Andy Young, Hosea Williams, Maynard Jackson, Jesse Jackson, and Daddy King, the father of Martin Luther King, Jr. He also encountered ardent white segregationists, some of whom saw the light and others who took their racism to the grave. Drawing on his experience covering politics, he examines presidents from LBJ and Jimmy Carter to Obama and Trump. He explores the symbolism of Confederate flags, the controversy over Uncle Remus, the election of Atlanta''s first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, and the tragic case of the Atlanta Child Murders. He has had first-hand encounters with white supremacy and violent black protest alike. Throughout Reckoning with Race, Allen is candid about his own shortcomings as a white native Northerner learning gradually about the complexities of race in his adoptive South. The essays highlight his continuing journey toward understanding the forces that both hinder and promote equality and harmony between the races.

The quintessential guide to Woody Allen's lifetime of work, Woody Allen: Film by Film examines each of Allen's movies, from when he vented his first neuroses in 1965 with What's New Pussycat, by way of Oscar winner Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, all the way to his latest works of Wonder Wheel and Cafe Society. Woody Allen has enjoyed a career unlike any other writer or director in Hollywood. The impact of his comedy and his psychoanalysis of the modern world have been hugely influential and had a profound effect on popular culture ever since. Filled with key images of his films, as well as lots of behind-the-scenes content.As Woody said about himself: 'The two biggest myths about me are that I'm an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I'm an artist because my films lose money.' As self-critical as ever - and with a hotly tipped Oscar material new film scheduled for the end of 2017 - Woody Allen remains a force to be reckoned with.

'Woody Allen’s wonderful novel reads like one of his films' The Telegraph'As a portrait of Woody Allen by Woody Allen, it’s a classic' The Standard'Good gags abound in this tale of a bespectacled Jewish writer caught up in a #MeToo takedown' GuardianAsher Baum is quietly losing his mind. Can you blame him?'Maybe what I really want is to make sense of all people’s lives. Of everything, the whole shebang'A middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist and playwright, consumed with anxiety about everything under the sun, Baum's turgid philosophical books receive tepid reviews and his prestigious New York publisher has dropped him. His third marriage is on the rocks and he suspects his handsome and successful younger brother may have seduced his Harvard-educated wife. He is uneasy with her close relationship with her son, a more successful author than he, and suspicious of her closeness with their neighbour in Connecticut. And in a moment of irrationality, he has impulsively tried to kiss a pretty young journalist during an interview that she is about to go public with. Is it any wonder Baum has started talking to himself? Strangers shake their heads and walk around him on the street. Meanwhile he learns a startling secret that could cause havoc should he expose it. Should he keep it to himself or reveal it and blow up his marriage?What's with Baum? is Woody Allen's first novel and it is everything you would expect of him--and more. A portrait of an intellectual crippled by neurotic concerns about the futility and emptiness of life; an amusing glimpse into the New York publishing establishment; above all, a highly entertaining, tightly plotted, beautifully wrought piece of fiction from one of America's greatest and most versatile cinematic and literary talents.

Slavný režisér ve svých pamětech nic neskrývá a jeho pohled na vlastní bouřlivé životní osudy nepostrádá humor. Popisuje dětství v Brooklynu, jak získával autorské ostruhy, vypráví, jak se těžce protloukal jako komik na standupových pódiích. Svým šťavnatým vypravěčským stylem vykládá, jak došlo k tomu, že posléze přeběhl k filmu; provede nás celou svou dlouhou režisérskou kariérou, od komediálního debutu Seber prachy a vypadni přes klasické filmy jako Annie Hallová či Manhattan až po poslední snímky. Průběžně se přitom vyjadřuje ke svým manželstvím, láskám a velkým přátelstvím, hovoří o jazzu, knihách a divadelních hrách, kterých má za půl století na kontě pěknou řádku. Odhalí před čtenáři své démony a omyly, ale i to, nač je nejvíc hrdý, seznámí nás s lidmi, které miloval, s nimiž pracoval a od nichž se přitom mnohému naučil. Woody Allen, vlastním jménem Allen Stewart Konigsberg (*1. prosince 1935 v Bronxu), je světově proslulý režisér, scenárista, spisovatel, herec a komik. Patří k hrstce amerických filmařů, kteří se dokázali prosadit coby tvůrci ryze autorských snímků. Vděčil za to široké škále svých talentů. Ačkoli nedokončil ani první semestr na Newyorské univerzitě, bezesporu se řadí k významným intelektuálům své doby, se zvláštní citlivostí pro neuralgické body moderní společnosti. Jeho osobní život byl a je plný výstřelků a eskapád, ale i díky tomu se mohl stát inspirací pro Allenovou nadobyčej bohatou tvůrčí kariéru. S obojím se vyrovnává v rozsáhlé vzpomínkové knize, která vyvolala pořádný rozruch ještě před vydáním.

It’s also a people’s history of the land, a family saga, an archival detective story through time. It’s the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve ‘upward social mobility’ and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness and the permission to roam England.Marrying the local and the familial with global history and unfolding as a timely and immersive tale of land, environment, and the world of plants, The Possibility of Tenderness reveals how the history of a tiny rural village in a mountainous region of Jamaica is interlinked with that of modern Britain. And, also what that rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today.Mama, the author’s grandmother, is a central protagonist of the story. Alongside her, herbalists, plant workers, farmers, and plant lovers help forge an intimate portrait of Coffee Grove, as do the plants themselves; fever grass, jointa, search mi heart, leaf of life, helping Allen-Paisant revise his sense of self and solidify a new understanding of his place in the world.The Possibility of Tenderness is a cross-pollinating book about the transformative power of plants, the legacy of dreams, and the lessons they offer for living with the earth.

A Washington Post BestsellerThree Principles for Managing—and Avoiding—the Problems of GrowthWhy is profitable growth so hard to achieve and sustain? Most executives manage their companies as if the solution to that problem lies in the external environment: find an attractive market, formulate the right strategy, win new customers. But when Bain & Company’s Chris Zook and James Allen, authors of the bestselling Profit from the Core, researched this question, they found that when companies fail to achieve their growth targets, 90 percent of the time the root causes are internal, not external—increasing distance from the front lines, loss of accountability, proliferating processes and bureaucracy, to name only a few. What’s more, companies experience a set of predictable internal crises, at predictable stages, as they grow. Even for healthy companies, these crises, if not managed properly, stifle the ability to grow further—and can actively lead to decline.The key insight from Zook and Allen’s research is that managing these choke points requires a “founder’s mentality”—behaviors typically embodied by a bold, ambitious founder—to restore speed, focus, and connection to customers:• An insurgent’s clear mission and purpose• An unambiguous owner mindset• A relentless obsession with the front lineBased on the authors’ decade-long study of companies in more than forty countries, The Founder’s Mentality demonstrates the strong relationship between these three traits in companies of all kinds—not just start-ups—and their ability to sustain performance. Through rich analysis and inspiring examples, this book shows how any leader—not only a founder—can instill and leverage a founder’s mentality throughout their organization and find lasting, profitable growth.

Woody Allen was once made a knight commander by France, but he didnÂ’t know because the paperwork got lost in the mail.A decade later, he found out about the award by reading about it in the New York Times.Across nearly nine eventful decades, AllenÂ’s life has been full of surprises. Writing jokes got him a gig as the youngest writer of Sid CaesarÂ’s television dream team. As a rising comic, he boxed a kangaroo on TV. He made a blank-check deal with a major studio for terms unmatched in Hollywood apart from early titans like Chaplin and Welles. All before Annie Hall.Yet despite once being one of the most consequen­tial American cultural figures, Allen is now persona non grata. In this judicious biography, acclaimed biographer Patrick McGilligan charts the meteoric rise and fall of the comedian whose nonconformity proved both his secret genius and AchillesÂ’ heel.Drawing on meticulous research, McGilli­gan reconstructs AllenÂ’s Brooklyn boyhood, his salad days as a television comedy writer, his rise to stand-up, and the thoughtful, award-winning film­making of his golden years in the 1970s and Â’80s. His messy relationships with wives and girl­friends, including Annie Hall costar Diane Keaton, were essential to his artistic development and undo­ing. Yet no one could have predicted his tumultuous personal and professional relationship with actress Mia Farrow, his alleged abuse of their adopted daughter Dylan, and his subsequent marriage to MiaÂ’s daughter Soon-Yi Previn.In this comprehensive, sweeping, and rigor­ous account of AllenÂ’s life and career, McGilligan astutely reveals the writerÂ’s writer beyond the smoke and controversy, and paints a compelling portrait of the most creative, productive, and influential film­maker of his time.Â
