NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller On Tyranny comes an impassioned condemnation of America's pandemic response and an urgent call to rethink health and freedom. On December 29, 2019, historian Timothy Snyder fell gravely ill. Unable to stand, barely able to think, he waited for hours in an emergency room before being correctly diagnosed and rushed into surgery. Over the next few days, as he clung to life and the first light of a new year came through his window, he found himself reflecting on the fragility of health, not recognized in America as a human right but without which all rights and freedoms have no meaning. And that was before the pandemic. We have since watched American hospitals, long understaffed and undersupplied, buckling under waves of ill patients. The federal government made matters worse through willful ignorance, misinformation, and profiteering. Our system of commercial medicine failed the ultimate test, and thousands of Americans died. In this eye-opening cri de coeur, Snyder traces the societal forces that led us here and outlines the lessons we must learn to survive. In examining some of the darkest moments of recent history and of his own life, Snyder finds glimmers of hope and principles that could lead us out of our current malaise. Only by enshrining healthcare as a human right, elevating the authority of doctors and medical knowledge, and planning for our children's future can we create an America where everyone is truly free.

A captivating graphic edition of Timothy Snyder's bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting the arc toward authoritarianism. Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny is one of the essential books of recent years, using the darkest moments in twentieth-century history to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. These include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow, an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent, and an encouragement to use personalised and individualised speech rather than clichéd phrases when arguing a point In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive style in Heimat - at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative and trove of memories - to breathe new life, colour and power into Snyder's modern classic, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination and call for action. 'On Tyranny is a must read, a clear-eyed guidebook' Ken Burns History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasises the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

Mezi dvěma říšemi, Hitlerovou a Stalinovou, se nachází krvavá země, území dnešního Polska, Ukrajiny, Běloruska a pobaltských států, oběť největší demografické a humanitární katastrofy, jakou kdy člověk v lidských dějinách způsobil. Necelá dvě desetiletí stačila, aby zde v důsledku politiky dvou vůdců zahynulo čtrnáct milionů lidí. Širokoúhlý záběr této syntetické monografie je v dějinách daného území novinkou. Příčinu sledu katastrof vysvětluje ze zvláštního postavení těchto zemí v Evropě, z motivů dvou totalitních ideologií, ze záměrů a metod dvou diktátorů a jejich vzájemných souvislostí.

Vedle jarní světové zdravotní krize inspirovala Timothyho Snydera k sepsání Nemocné Ameriky i osobní zkušenost s americkým zdravotnictvím. Mezi prosincem 2019 a březnem 2020 se historik v prostředí několika amerických nemocnic obtížně vracel do života téměř od hranic smrti. Zážitek způsobilo fatální zanedbání péče. Autor však neviní lékaře ani zdravotní sestry, nýbrž zdravotní systém. V knize rozvíjí četné historické, etické, politické, právní a ekonomické argumenty pro zásadní změnu amerického zdravotnictví a jeho přiblížení evropskému modelu. Evropskému, respektive českému čtenáři bude znít líčení komercializovaného amerického zdravotnictví jako varování. Právě tomuto systému přičítá Snyder vinu nejen za snižující se věk dožití Američanů nebo za jejich závislost na opioidech, ale i za selhání v době pandemie.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'These 128 pages are a brief primer in every important thing we might have learned from the history of the last century, and all that we appear to have forgotten' Observer History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In the twentieth century, European democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism. These were movements in which a leader or a party claimed to give voice to the people, promised to protect them from global existential threats, and rejected reason in favour of myth. European history shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse, and ordinary people can find themselves in unimaginable circumstances. History can familiarise, and it can warn. Today, we are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism in the twentieth century. But when the political order seems imperilled, our advantage is that we can learn from their experience to resist the advance of tyranny. Now is a good time to do so. "When Timothy Snyder's book Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin was published in 2010, it quickly established its author as one of the leading historians of his generation, a scholar who combined formidable linguistic skills - he reads or speaks 11 languages - with an elegant literary style, white-hot moral passion and a willingness to start arguments about some of the most fraught questions of the recent past." New York TimesTimothy Snyder is Levin Professor of History at Yale University, and has written and edited a number of critically acclaimed and prize-winning books about twentieth-century European history: Bloodlands won the Hannah Arendt Prize, the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding, the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award in the Humanities and the literature award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Black Earth was longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize.Snyder is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement. He is a member of the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a permanent fellow of the Institute for Human Sciences, and sits on the advisory council of the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research.

From Laetoli footprints in Tanzania to Keralan rituals, stone circles and cave paintings, Oliver takes us on a global journey through antiquity.

The result is powerful and inspirational, moving and profound.

Liberální demokracie není absolutním vítězem studené války a ohlášený konec dějin se nekoná. Vladimir Putin se opevnil ve své mocenské pozici a fašistické představy o potřebě pevné ruky začínají ve světě opět rezonovat. Rusko vede kybernetickou válku v Evropě a Spojených státech, využívá svých nových spojenců mezi nacionalisty, radikály a oligarchy, aby snižovalo důvěryhodnost demokratických institucí. Výsledkem současného trendu jsou brexit, Donald Trump, všeobecný vzestup populismu a čím dál patrnější zranitelnost západní společnosti. Na základě velkoryse pojatého výzkumu a prostřednictvím událostí poslední doby v Rusku, na Ukrajině, v USA i v Evropě ukazuje Snyder podstatu hrozícího nebezpečí. Pomáhá porozumět, proč jsou tradiční politické ctnosti prospěšné a kterou z nabízených možností bychom si měli zvolit: rovnost, nebo oligarchii, individualitu, nebo totalitu, pravdu, nebo lež. Ohromující svědectví o vzestupu autoritářství jde hlouběji než novinové titulky a nabízí nám cestu ven ze všeobecné nejistoty.

Brought to you by Penguin. A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival – by the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny. Timothy Snyder has been called ‘the leading interpreter of our dark times’. As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarians. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means – and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we're free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes – the habits of mind – that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace. On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.

Tony Judt patří mezi nejzajímavější světové myslitele posledního půlstoletí. Málokdo uvažoval tak hluboce a inspirativně o otázkách demokracie, totalitních režimů, holokaustu či o dějinné roli veřejných intelektuálů. V rozhovoru se svým přítelem a kolegou Timothym Snyderem mapuje historii moderních politických idejí a představ o vládě a spravedlnosti, jak je chápali liberální, socialističtí, komunističtí, nacionalističtí a fašističtí intelektuálové od konce 19. do počátku 21. století. Zamýšlí se nad povinnostmi intelektuálů v politice i nad jejich morálními selháními. Kniha přibližuje život historika Tonyho Judta a zároveň je fascinujícím dialogem o hledání pravdy a možností společenské obrody.

eBook: Mezi dvěma říšemi, Hitlerovou a Stalinovou, se nacházejí krvavé země. Necelá dvě desetiletí stačila, aby zde v důsledku politiky dvou vůdců zahynulo čtrnáct milionů lidí. Povědomí o událostech třicátých a čtyřicátých let na území dnešního Polska, Ukrajiny, Běloruska a pobaltských států sice sílí, stále jsou to však jednotlivé události: ukrajinský hladomor po stalinské kolektivizaci, Katyň nebo tzv. konečné řešení židovské otázky. Širokoúhlý záběr Timothyho Snydera je v dějinách daného území novinkou. Sled katastrof, které se tudy prohnaly, nelze vysvětlit na základě jednotlivostí ani dějin jednotlivých národů, nýbrž jedině ze zvláštního postavení těchto zemí v Evropě, z jeho historických příčin, z motivů dvou totalitních ideologií, ze záměrů a metod dvou diktátorů a jejich vzájemných souvislostí. Krvavé země jsou tak první syntetickou monografií, která postihuje v celku souhru těchto nešťastných okolností, jejímž důsledkem byla největší demografická a humanitární katastrofa, jakou kdy člověk v lidských dějinách způsobil. Tento jedinečný titul vyšel ve spolupráci nakladatelství PASEKA a PROSTOR. Timothy Snyder (1969) získal doktorát na Oxfordské univerzitě, působil v Paříži, ve Vídni, Varšavě a na Harvardu. Nyní je profesorem historie na Yaleově univerzitě. Za své předchozí knihy získal několik cen: Kniha The Reconstruction of Nations (2003) byla oceněna George Louis Beer Prize, kniha Sketches from a Secret War (2005) získala cenu Pro Historia Polonorum. Jeho předposlední kniha The Red Prince: The Secret History of a Habsburg Archduke vyšla česky roku 2010 (Rudý kníže: Utajený život habsburského arcivévody). Timothy Snyder žije v New Haven v Connecticutu.

Dvacet lekcí z evropských dějin 20. století ukazuje, že kolaps společnosti, demokracie a morálky i naše osobní selhání v podmínkách politických krizí nejsou nic nepředstavitelného. Naši rodiče a prarodiče, vedeni iracionálními mýty fašismu, nacismu a komunismu, budovali zdi proti znepokojivým globálním hrozbám. Určitě nejsme chytřejší než oni, máme však výhodu, že se z jejich zkušenosti můžeme poučit a nastupujícím tyraniím včas vzdorovat. Podle Snydera je k tomu teď, v podmínkách současného politického vývoje v Americe i v Evropě, ta pravá chvíle.

Kniha je jedinečnou a přesvědčivou studií historického vývoje etnických národů založeného na jazyce a identitě. Týká se čtyř východoevropských zemí. Timothy Snyder tvrdí, že „Tématy této knihy jsou transformace národních idejí, příčiny etnických čistek a podmínky národního smíření”. Tato témata Snyder vysvětluje tak, že líčí složitě propletené příběhy Polska, Ukrajiny, Litvy a Běloruska a jejich společné kořeny v raně moderním státě: Polsko-litevské unii (1569–1795), kde základy politické identity tkvěly ve sdílené kultuře a občanských právech.Kdy a jak vznikají moderní národy? Proč dochází k etnickým čistkám? Jak mohou národní státy nastolit mír? Tyto a mnohé další otázky si klade kniha Timothyho Snydera Obnova národů a pokouší se na ně opovědět na příkladu někdejší Polsko-litevské unie. Ta vznikla v roce 1569, kdy slovo „národ“ znamenalo něco podstatně jiného než dnes. V Polsko-litevské unii se hovořilo různými jazyky, vládla tam náboženská tolerance, fungoval tam parlament. Vytvořila však – anebo trvale uchovala – také jazyky, náboženství a mýty, které dnes vnímáme jako ukrajinské, běloruské či ruské. Autor nás provádí staletími a událostmi, mnohdy strašlivými a krutými, plnými nenávisti, aby na konci druhého tisíciletí dospěl k branám jiného nadstátního útvaru: Evropské unie.

Útlá, esejistická knížka Timothyho Snydera Tyranie vyvolala před pár lety značný rozruch, záhy se vyšplhala mezi bestsellery The New York Times a vyšla ve více než čtyřiceti jazycích. Autor titulů Krvavé země a Černá zem, zabývajících se holokaustem a masovými vraždami v nacistickém Německu a Sovětském svazu, v ní popsal začátky totalitních režimů. I kdyby jedenáctkrát výslovně nezmínil Donalda Trumpa, bylo zjevné, proč knihu napsal: Trumpův nástup k moci považoval za nebezpečí srovnatelné s fašismem, komunismem či nacismem 20. století. Snyderových dvacet lekcí z evropských dějin 20. století ukazuje, že kolaps společnosti, demokracie a morálky i naše osobní selhání v podmínkách politických krizí nejsou nic nepředstavitelného. Na rozdíl od našich rodičů a prarodičů však máme výhodu, že se z jejich zkušenosti můžeme poučit a nastupujícím tyraniím včas vzdorovat. Nové, ilustrované vydání Tyranie dává dílu další rozměr a sílu. Renomovaná německo-americká ilustrátorka Nora Krugová ho svým vynalézavým výtvarným stylem mění ve vizuálně působivé zamyšlení.

Wilhelm von Habsburg wore the uniform of an Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the decorations of the Order of the Golden Fleece and, every so often, a dress. He spoke the Italian of his archduke mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself.Timothy Snyder's masterful biography is not only a reconstruction of the life of this extraordinary man - a man who remained loyal to his Ukrainian dreams even after the country's dissolution in 1921- but also charts the final collapse of the ancien regime in Europe and the rise of a new world order.

''Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to, and how you might start to put it into practice'' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives?In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live -- how to understand one''s place in the world, how to cope when things don''t go well, how to manage one''s emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.

Kniha konfrontuje úvahy o díle Franze Kafky od třinácti autorek a autorů z šesti zemí a tří kontinentů. Kafkovo dílo je zde zkoumáno z perspektivy různých filozofických oborů: ontologie, epistemologie, filozofie jazyka, etiky, politické filozofie, filozofie literatury a estetiky. Formální a metodologická rozmanitost příspěvků je stejně bohatá: zahrnuje detailní interpretace vybraných Kafkových textů, analýzy charakteristických rysů rozpoznatelných napříč Kafkovým dílem, srovnání Kafky s jinými autory, diskuse s vlivnými kafkovskými interprety či úvahy o problému kafkovských adaptací. Texty jsou tematicky rozděleny do tří kapitol: Struktura světa a hranice poznání, Společenská realita a prostor morálního hodnocení a Fikční světy a způsoby vyprávění. Kniha je v angličtině. The book is conceived as an opportunity for thirteen authors from six countries and three continents to confront the lessons they draw from Kafka's work. They approach it from the perspectives of several philosophical disciplines: ontology, epistemology, philosophy of language, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of literature, and aesthetics. The formal and methodological variety of their contributions is equally rich: it includes detailed interpretations of particular texts, analyses of characteristic features recognizable across Kafka's work, confrontations with other writers, disputes with influential Kafka interpreters, reopening the problem of Kafkian adaptations, etc. The articles are thematically divided into three chapters: The structure of the world and the limits of knowledge, Social reality and the space for moral assessment, and Fictional worlds and modes of narration.

Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals. Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business. In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving. But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success. Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages.

This publication highlights the exceptional gift of 108 photographs by women artists from the collection of Helen Kornblum to The Museum of Modern Art. Conceived in conjunction with an exhibition opening at The Museum of Modern Art in 2022, this publication focuses on an exceptional gift of 108 photographs by women artists from the collection of Helen Kornblum, distinguished member of MoMA’s Committee on Photography. The publication will highlight this significant acquisition, which contributes to the Museum’s continuous effort to research and rethink twentieth century art history narratives by amplifying the presence of women artists. Like the exhibition, the book will be structured around thematic groupings, arranged chronologically, and each prefaced by a short text. Special attention will be devoted to topics such as: pictorialist portraiture, surrealist explorations, portraits of artists, the social documentary, advertising, photography and language, photojournalism, gender and the media, still life and domesticity, performance for the camera, and to the camera as a means of personal artistic expression. From modernists such as Claude Cahun and Yva to contemporary photographer Catherine Opie, many of the works in this volume elicit conversations about queer subjectivity. Themes related to colonial history and indigeneity are addressed in photographic projects by both Native artists such as Cara Romero and Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie, and non-Native practitioners including Graciela Iturbide, Sharon Lockhart, Meridel Rubenstein, Tatiana Parcero, and Tracey Moffatt. Lorna Simpson and Carrie Mae Weems offer uniquely feminist African-diasporic viewpoints on the relationship of race and gender. Our Selves presents a series of new perspectives that rise to our current moment, addressing the urgent need for more intersectional conversations in the arts.

Yet by the time the gas chambers became operation more than a million European Jews were already dead: shot at close range over pits and ravines. They had been murdered in the lawless killing zones created by the German colonial war in the East, many on the fertile black earth that the Nazis believed would feed the German people.It comforts us to believe that the Holocaust was a unique event. But as Timothy Snyder shows, we have missed basic lessons of the history of the Holocaust, and some of our beliefs are frighteningly close to the ecological panic that Hitler expressed in the 1920s. As ideological and environmental challenges to the world order mount, our societies might be more vulnerable than we would like to think.Timothy...
