The Ancient Guide to Modern Life - Natalie Haynesová

It''s time for us to re-examine the past. Our lives are infinitely richer if we take the time to look at what the Greeks and Romans have given us in politics and law, religion and philosophy and education, and to learn how people really lived in Athens, Rome, Sparta and Alexandria. This is a book with a serious point to make but the author isn''t simply a classicist but a comedian and broadcaster who has made television and radio documentaries about humour, education and Dorothy Parker. This is a book for us all.Whether political, cultural or social, there are endless parallels between the ancient and modern worlds. Whether it''s the murder of Caesar or the political assassination of Thatcher; the narrative arc of the hit HBO series The Wire or that of Oedipus; the popular enthusiasm for the Emperor Titus or President Obama - over and over again we can be seen to be living very much like people did 2,000 or more years ago.

Tisíc lodí - Natalie Haynesová

Žiadna vojna nie je len mužskou záležitosťou. Dotýka sa aj žien. A nie iba jednej či dvoch. A trójska vojna je príbehom mnohých žien… Keď sa Kreusa v jednu noc prebudí, zistí, že jej milované mesto pohltili plamene. Desať rokov zdanlivo nekonečných bojov medzi Grékmi a Trójanmi sa skončilo. Trója padla. Tento príbeh však nie je len o jednej žene, ale o všetkých ženách, ktorých život, lásku a súperenie navždy poznačila táto dlhá a tragická vojna. Dotýka sa všetkých trójskych žien, ktorých osudy teraz držia v rukách Gréci, nevynímajúc princeznú Amazoniek bojujúcu za svoje družky po boku Achilla, či grécku Penelopu, ktorá čaká na Odyseov návrat, až po tri bohyne, ktorých spor to všetko spustil – tieto príbehy konečne vystupujú z tieňa slávnych mužských hrdinov. Natalie Haynesová vo svojom románe Tisíc lodí prináša nový pohľad na jeden z najväčších epických príbehov, kde sa dievčatá, ženy a bohyne stávajú ústrednými postavami.

New York Times bestselling author Natalie Haynes returns to the world of ancient Greek myth in this scintillating follow-up to Pandora’s Jar.Few writers today have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes. Divine Might is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies, focusing on the goddesses whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including:Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s brow (giving Zeus a killer headache in the process), the goddess of war and provider of wise counsel.Aphrodite, born of the foam (and sperm released from a Titan’s castrated testicles), the most beautiful of all the Olympian goddesses, the epitome of love who dispenses desire and inspires longing—yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side, doling out brutal punishments to those who displease her.Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy born of his repeated dalliances with mortals, nymphs, and other goddesses, leads her to wreak elaborate and often painful revenge on those she believes have wronged her.

Tisíc lodí - Natalie Haynesová

Řecké mýty spolu s Homérovými eposy Ilias a Odyssea nesporně tvoří základ euroamerické kultury a jejich velké postavy jsme si zvykli vnímat přes zjednodušenou šablonu jejich výrazných vlastností: mazaný Odysseus, udatný Achilleus, věrná Penelopé.Natalie Haynes se s takovým viděním nespokojila a v knize Tisíc lodí nabízí mnohem plastičtější pohled. Jejími hrdiny nejsou po staletí opěvovaní chrabří rekové, ale jejich ženy, dcery a matky, do jejichž života válka zasáhla s nemenší silou.Dva tisíce let staré příběhy o statečnosti, zradě a pomstě dávají v autorčině podání hlas civilním obětem Trojské války, ale především nám je přibližují jako živoucí bytosti s přesvědčivými emocemi: ješitné bohyně hašteřící se o zlaté jablko, Penelopino rostoucí podráždění z manželovy nepřítomnosti, rezignovaná frustrace Kassandry, jejímž věštbám nikdo nevěří, ačkoli se pokaždé vyplní.Autorka ve své knize čerpá kromě Homéra také z mnoha méně známých dochovaných spisů, ale její převyprávění rozhodně netrpí pietní škrobeností – všechny postavy i motivy jejich jednání jsou velice současné, uvěřitelné, a především úžasně zábavné.

Pandora's Jar - Natalie Haynesová

''Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to!'' – Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid''s TaleThe Greek myths are among the world''s most important cultural building blocks and they have been retold many times, but rarely do they focus on the remarkable women at the heart of these ancient stories.Now, in Pandora''s Jar: Women in the Greek Myths, Natalie Haynes – broadcaster, writer and passionate classicist – redresses this imbalance. Taking Pandora and her jar (the box came later) as the starting point, she puts the women of the Greek myths on equal footing with the menfolk.Stories of gods and monsters are the mainstay of epic poetry and Greek tragedy, from Homer to Aeschylus. But modern tellers of Greek myth have usually been men, and have routinely shown little interest in telling women’s stories. And when they do, those women are often painted as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil. But Pandora – the first woman, who according to legend unloosed chaos upon the world – was not a villain, and even Medea and Phaedra have more nuanced stories than generations of retellings might indicate.After millennia of stories telling of gods and men, be they Zeus ...

Medúzin príbeh - Natalie Haynesová

Smrteľníci nás považujú za príšery, lebo sme mocné a vieme lietať. Volajú nás tak, pretože sa nás boja. Medúza sa narodila do božskej rodiny, no na rozdiel od svojich sestier je smrteľná. Zakrátko si uvedomí, že ako jediná z nich starne, mení sa a cítiť slabosť. Vedomie, že sa raz pominie, dodáva jej konaniu naliehavosť, ktorú jej príbuzní nikdy neokúsia. Keď Poseidón, vládca morí, znesvätí Aténin chrám, urazená bohyňa sa pomstí nevinnej obeti a naveky zmení Medúzin život. Úbohá dievčina sa desí vlastného odrazu – namiesto vlasov sa jej na hlave zvíjajú hady a jediným pohľadom mení všetko živé na kameň. Nemôže viac hľadieť na svojich milovaných bez toho, aby ich zahubila, tak sa dobrovoľne odsúdi na život v tieňoch a samote, aby zahatala cestu svojmu vražednému hnevu. Všetko sa však zmení, keď sa Perseus vydá na osudovú výpravu s cieľom získať hlavu Gorgony... Toto je príbeh mladej ženy, z ktorej sa stala príšera – až na to, že ňou v skutočnosti nikdy nebola.

Vymezený čas smrtelníka navíc jejímu životu dodává na naléhavosti, jakou nikdo z jejích příbuzných nikdy nepozná.Když se Poseidón, bůh moří, dopustí v Athénině chrámu neodpustitelného činu, bohyně se pomstí na té, která se nemůže bránit – a navěky Medúsu promění. Místo vlasů se jí kolem hlavy kroutí hadi a její pohled dokáže změnit jakékoli živé stvoření v kámen. Je to ale schopnost, kterou nelze ovládat.

This House - James Graham

This country doesn''t need a constitution, never has, never will. We have History as our guide. In tough times, the British do what we have always done. We muddle through.This House is a timely and relevant political comedy, exploring Westminster and the 1974 hung parliament.In the run-up to the General Election pressure mounts as squabbling whips attempt to attract key regional votes. As it becomes clear the results will be closely balanced, the play tracks the formation, perils and consequences of a coalition government, including the compromises, conflicts and power games all in the interest of gaining control of Parliament.With well-paced, witty and waspish dialogue, This House playfully explores the childish digs and chauvinistic attitudes that riddle political life. Award-winning playwright James Graham combines comedy with comment in this portrayal of the strain between the thinking individual, the pressure to toe the part line and the end goal of winning government.
