Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex.What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen''s quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

Todd Webb: Paris, A Love Story 1945-1952

After several years photographing New York City—socializing with Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, Berenice Abbott and Minor White—American photographer Todd Webb moved to Paris in the late '40s and made his first negatives with an 8×10 camera. He quickly found himself having the time of his life—mingling with other artists such as Gordon Parks, Man Ray and Brassaï. In his journal, Webb often worried about money and whether he could make it in Paris, but he persevered. Paris: A Love Story 1948-1952 includes never-before-published excerpts from Webb's journal and showcases 70 black and white photographs that Webb shot from 1949 to 1952 as he, in part inspired by the work of Eugène Atget, took to the streets to make a personal, beautiful and lasting record of postwar Paris.

Emma - Jane Austenová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Od svého prvního vydání roku 1815 je Emma Jane Austenové hrdinkou mnoha dívek a žen, které nechtějí být křehké květinky zmítané okolnostmi. Chtějí si rozhodovat o svém osudu samy, byť za cenu omylů, chyb a zklamání. Příběh o dívce s dobrým srdcem je nadčasovým příběhem o emancipaci a hledání pravých životních hodnot. Jane Austenová (1775-1817) Jane Austenová byla anglická spisovatelka, zakladatelka moderního rodinného románu v anglické literatuře. Narodila se v rodině duchovního. Pro úzký okruh rodiny psala Jane Austenová již od patnácti let krátké prózy, básně i dramatické scény. Nikdy se neprovdala. Její díla vycházela za jejího života anonymně, s jejím jménem byla vydávána až po její smrti. Plného pochopení dosáhla až ve dvacátém století. Nejvíce zaujala Jane Austenová svými romány. Ve většině z nich je ústředním motivem myšlenkové a emociální zrání mladé hrdinky, zkoumá svět z ženského hlediska, vychází ze znalostí lidské povahy. Vytváří ve svých románech životné postavy, nedostatky jejích hrdinů vycházejí především ze špatné rodinné výchovy. Všechny její zápletky se zabývají láskou, i když o ní zřídka přímo hovoří. Tereza Richtrová (1982) se narodila v roce 1982 v Brně. Studovala sólový zpěv na Gymnáziu Pavla Křížkovského s uměleckou profilací a poté činoherní herectví na JAMU. Své první stálé angažmá získala v roce 2008 v Moravském divadle Olomouc, kde strávila šest sezón. Za roli Anny v Langerově Periferii se umístila v širší nominaci na Cenu Thálie 2013. Byla nominována v anketě Neviditelný herec za nejpopulárnější výkon na vlnách Českého rozhlasu za rok 2011/12 a 2012/13. Luboš Veselý (1961) Herec Luboš Veselý prošel řadou divadelních scén. Na filmovém plátně se poprvé objevil ve známém snímku Jiřího Svobody Skalpel, prosím. Mohli jsme ho vidět i v televizní komedii režiséra Rudolfa Tesáčka Houpací křeslo, kde hrál po boku Jiřího Kodeta a Miroslava Donutila. Luboš Veselý se objevil v televizních seriálech Dobrodružství kriminalistiky, Světla pasáže, Případy prvního oddělení, První republika, Cukrárna, Život na zámku či Ulice.

Jane Austenová /H+ H/ - Elsemarie Maletzke

Životopis slavné anglické spisovatelky Jane Austenové (1775-1817) vychází v době zvýšeného zájmu o její dílo i díky filmovým přepisům románů Rozum a cit a Pýcha a předsudek. Austenová se narodila v 18. století, čtrnáct let před Francouzskou revolucí, v rodině venkovského pastora a na rodině byla až do své smrti zcela závislá, protože se nikdy neprovdala. Svá mistrovská díla, postihující společenské poměry na venkově i psychologii vystupujících postav, psala tajně. Romány, které vyšly za jejího života, uveřejňovala pod pseudonymem "By a lady". Biografie J. Austenové od německé autorky nasvěcuje život "anglické Jane" , jak ji nazývají Britové, z překvapivých úhlů. Rovněž doba a místo jejího života, které sama Austenová zachycuje tak poutavě, E. Maletzke popisuje nejen zasvěceně, ale i čtivě. Text knihy doplňuje chronologický životopisný přehled, soupis literatury a rejstřík. Elsemarie Maletzke je erudovaná životopiskyně anglických spisovatelek 19. století. Kromě Austenové napsala biografické portréty sester Brntëových (Das Leben des Brontës) a Georgie Eliot.

Pýcha a předsudek - Jane Austenová

Není pochyb o tom, že hrdinkou románu Pýcha a předsudek, Lízinkou, je sama Jane Austenová (1775–1817). Přestože prožila tak typicky nekonfliktní život (nikdy se neprovdala a jediné nabídnutí k sňatku prý během hodiny odmítla), neodráží se v jejím díle žádná osudová hořkost. Zdá se, že se ze své pozice dcery bez věna, a tudíž dívky bez zvláštních šancí na lepší sňatek, spíš nesmírně bavila – asi jako člověk, který v divadle sleduje zábavnou komedii. Přidáním ironického podtextu posunula románovou tvorbu ze sfér naivního realismu o několik generací dopředu. Víc než půldruhého století je doba, která dovedla pohltit stovky literárních děl, jimž se při zrodu prorokovala nesmrtelnost; a byla to díla s daleko efektnějšími a vzrušivějšími náměty než Pýcha a předsudek. Jemné kouzlo Jane Austenové má svůj stálý vděčný okruh čtenářů a každá nová generace autorčin odkaz objevuje po svém, v nových barevných odstínech a v novém lesku.

Opatství Northanger - Jane Austenová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Sedmnáctiletá venkovská dívka Catherine se na pár týdnů dostane do velkého světa, který zná jen z románů. Vtipem nabitý text paroduje dobově populární gotické romány. Protože ho nejdříve vydavatel odmítl, vyšel až rok po autorčině smrti... Hlavní hrdinka románu 17letá dívka Catherine se díky rodinným přátelům na čas dostává do lázeňského města Bath. Poklidný venkov přitom mladá dáma opouští poprvé. Nesentimentálnost, odstup, ironie či schopnost rozvíjet zápletku a utvářet životaschopné dialogy jsou dodnes odzbrojující. Také díky nim patří Jane Austenová pořád mezi nejčtenější a nejznámější ženské spisovatelky. A to nejen na britských ostrovech.

Láska a přátelství - Jane Austenová

Láska a přátelství, novela v dopisech, bývá občas zaměňována s obdobným dílem Jane Austenové: s Lady Susan. Přispívá k tomu nejen stejná literární forma, ale také film Láska a přátelství, který navzdory názvu vychází právě z Lady Susan. "Naše" kniha, tedy Láska a přátelství, je však samostatným dílkem světoznámé autorky, pozoruhodným už tím, že je psala mezi jedenáctým a čtrnáctým rokem svého věku. Snad právě díky mládí, které bývá bezohledné, se v něm vysmála mnohým klišé romantické literatury: jmenujme jen "scény plné omdlévání", "nečekaná zjevení dosud neznámých příbuzných", "vznešené city versus přízemní realita" či "povinný odpor proti rodičovskému despotismu". Nad tím vším se vznáší nepřekonatelná ironie Jane Austenové, její břitký humor - ale také city, vášeň a láska, byť podané tak, že občas nevíme, zda se smát, či plakat. Smích je každopádně na místě, vždyť autorka psala tyto fiktivní dopisy pro pobavení rodinného kruhu; i tak ale budete líčení krásné, nesnázemi stíhané Laury číst se zatajeným dechem a neubráníte se obdivu vůči vypravěčským schopnostem mladinké Jane, která se později stala jednou z nejoblíbenějších a nejuznávanějších spisovatelek všech dob.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austenová

The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen''No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...''When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Emma - Jane Austenová

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, rich - and fiercely independent - is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others.Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literature's greatest comic creations--the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austen's most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared "no one but myself will much like," but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen's finest achievements.

Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon - Jane Austenová

'I am tired of submitting my will to the caprices of others-of resigning my own judgement in deference to those to whom I owe no duty, and for whom I feel no respect.'The unfinished fictions collected here are the novels and other writing that Jane Austen did not publish. The protagonist of the earliest story is Lady Susan, a sexual predator and a brilliant and manipulative sociopath. The Watsons, a tale of riches to rags, is set in a village deep in mud and misery where the Watson sisters waste away, day after dull day, waiting for the suitors who never appear.Sanditon, the novel interrupted by the author's death, is a topical satire onthe niche marketing campaign waged by investors in the latest seaside resort, the fictional Sanditon, situated on England's over-supplied south coast. If The Watsons shares the disturbed life of a Chekhov short story, Sanditon's cast of eccentrics anticipates the zany world of Dickens. Experimental and sharp-elbowed,all three probe new areas of invention and push out beyond what we expect to find in a novel by Jane Austen.This edition collects together all Austen's unpublished adult fiction, poetry, and related writings, written in her late teens, in her late twenties, and in the year she died, aged forty-one. They contribute more than a dash of discomfort to our modern image of the romantic novelist and reveal Jane Austen's development as a writer.
