Přehrada – velkolepá strategická hra o vodní síleRok 1922. Svět se mění díky hydroenergetické revoluci a vy stojíte u jejího zrodu. Ve hře Přehrada se každý hráč ujímá vedení mezinárodní společnosti usilující o ovládnutí energie budoucnosti – vodní síly. Budujte přehrady, turbíny a elektrárny, propojujte je a vyrábějte energii, za kterou plníte lukrativní smlouvy. Ale pozor – voda je vzácný zdroj a soupeři vám ji mohou snadno přetéci pod nosem.Jak se hraje Hraje se na 5 kol, každé s 5 fázemi: příjem, akce, proudění vody, bodování a úklid. Pomocí techniků provádíte akce – stavíte, vyrábíte energii, získáváte stroje nebo smlouvy. Kapky vody tečou po mapě podle gravitace. Zastaví se jen na přehradách, které mají volnou kapacitu. Propojením přehrady a elektrárny přes turbínu vyrábíte energii. Tu zapisujete na stupnici a používáte ke splnění smluv. Vyhrává hráč s nejvíce vítěznými body – za energii, splněné smlouvy, cíle, stavby a zadrženou vodu. Proč si ji zamilujete Unikátní mechanismus pohybu vody vytváří dynamické a taktické rozhodování. Modulární herní plán a variabilní ředitelé a společnosti zajišťují obrovskou znovuhratelnost. Asymetrické schopnosti přinášejí různorodé strategie a styly hry. Hra má sólový mód s vlastní sadou pravidel a destiček Automy. Obsah balení 1 herní plán + 1 deska ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Entrepreneur and transformative coach Marni Battista offers a unique blend of spiritual wisdom and practical exercises designed to redefine success and reignite the passion in your life.Rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and a whole-self approach to transformation, Your Radical Living Challenge employs seven prescriptive lessons based on the seven spiritual questions ancient rabbis imagine being asked at the gates of heaven to determine whether one has lived a meaningful life.“Did you seek wisdom?”“Were you hopeful?”“Were you true to your most authentic and essential self?”“Did you make time for your spiritual life?”“Did you busy yourself with creation?”“Did you recognize the blessings?”“Were you YOU?”Each spiritual question posed in the narrative is illustrated by a personal Radical Living Challenge story–the author’s or a client’s. Prescriptive workbook style exercises are woven throughout each section, helping readers to ask questions crafted to overcome fears and resistance, define success on their terms, and design their own year of radical living. Inside each section Battista examines the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and freedom, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.

A Times Best Art Book of 2022Reproductions of the young Lucian Freud’s letters alongside insightful context and commentary reveal the foundations of the artist’s personality and creative practice. The young Lucian Freud was described by his friend Stephen Spender as ‘totally alive, like something not entirely human, a leprechaun, a changeling child, or, if there is a male opposite, a witch.’ All that magnetism and brilliance is displayed in the letters assembled here. Ranging from schoolboy messages to his parents, through letters and carefully-chosen, often embellished postcards to friends, lovers and confidants, to correspondence with patrons and associates. They are peppered with wit, affection and irreverence. Alongside rarely seen photographs and Freud’s extraordinary works, each chapter charts Freud’s evolving art alongside intimate accounts of his life. We trace Freud’s early friendships with Stephen Spender, John Craxton, his wild days at art school in East Anglia, and a stint as a merchant seaman. Among the highlights are Freud’s accounts of his first trip to Paris in 1946 and encounters with Picasso, Alexander Calder and Giacometti (who, he thought, looked like Harpo Marx). Equally revealing are letters to and from his first love, Lorna Wishart and second wife, Caroline Blackwood. Among his ... Unknown localization key: "more"

From seminal actor Lucian Msamati comes a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of working on the major 2024 production of one of the most iconic plays ever written - Samuel Beckett''s Waiting for Godot. From receiving the call offering him the role of Estragon to the opening night at London''s Theatre Royal Haymarket, Lucian Msamati''s rehearsal diary enables us to better understand Beckett''s play from the inside and, crucially, from an actor''s perspective. A welcome antidote to the extensive academic literature available on the play, this book gives us a behind-the-scenes perspective on this play from audition to script-reading to polished performance. With a cast made up of other seminal actors Ben Whishaw, Jonathan Slinger and Tom Edden, James Macdonald''s production of Waiting for Godot sheds light on so many of the play''s themes and preoccupations, while bringing a new lens in casting a Black actor in the role of Estragon.We join Lucian Msamati as he embarks on the journey from page to stage, never knowing what the next day will bring and sharing in revelation after revelation as he revisits this play as an actor 20 years after first reading it.

True Story, Lucian’s best-known and most entertaining work, is a parody of the tall stories of fantastic journeys narrated by famous poets and historians. With his trademark wit and humour, Lucian informs his readers that he means to tell nothing but lies and impossibilities, and warns them not to believe a word he says. The result is a comical masterpiece that influenced Western literature throughout the centuries, and works such as Gulliver’s Travels and The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen.Lucius, or the Ass, a satirical novel charting the adventures of a young man who has been transformed into a donkey, is usually attributed to Lucian and is thought to be a source of Apuleius’s Golden Ass.

Publikace přináší 36 nejvýznamnějších futuristických manifestů, které usilují o radikální proměnu řady uměleckých druhů: nejen literatury, ale i divadla, filmu a fotografie, malířství a sochařství, architektury a hudby. Hlavním autorem těchto programových projevů je zakladatel futuristického hnutí Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, ale podíleli se na nich i další umělci, například sochař Boccioni, malíři Carrŕ, Severini, Russolo, Depero, hudebník Balilla Pratella či architekt Sant'Elia. Futurismus, hlásající program osvobozených slov a nastolující "bezdrátovou imaginaci", patřil k nejvlivnějším avantgardním směrům a jeho myšlenky dodnes rezonují v řadě moderních i postmoderních experimentů.

Italský kulturní antropolog Tommaso Braccini zkoumá fenomén vampyrismu v evropských dějinách. Zamýšlí se nad kořeny představ o vampýrech - mrtvých, kteří opouštějí hroby, aby pronásledovali živé.Kniha se zabývá vývojem těchto představ v byzantské říši a na území obývaném slovanskými národy, kde se strach z těchto bytostí zvláště rozšířil, odhaluje kořeny vampyrismu v antickém starověku, jeho pozdější vývoj a vztah k náboženským herezím a historii církve v moderní době, včetně tzv. "Nového světa". Podrobná a pečlivá antropologická analýza, jíž autor podrobuje starověké i pozdější prameny, odhaluje neočekávané aspekty vampýrského mýtu.Vydání knihy podpořil Italský kulturní institut v Praze.

Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti''s Futurist Cookbook is a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. Marinetti also sets out his argument for abolishing pasta as ill-suited to modernity, and advocates a style of cuisine that will increase creativity. Although at times betraying its author''s nationalistic sympathies, The Futurist Cookbook is funny, provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the velocity and promise of modernity.Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was born in 1876 to Italian parents and grew up in Alexandria, Egypt. He studied in Paris and obtained a law degree in Italy before turning to literature. In 1909 he wrote the infamous Futurist Manifesto, which championed violence, speed and war, and proclaimed the unity of art and life. Marinetti''s life was fraught with controversy: he fought a duel with a hostile critic, was subject to an obscenity trial, and was a staunch supporter of Italian Fascism. Alongside his literary activities, he was a war correspondent during the Italo-Turkish War and served on the Eastern Front in World War II, despite being in his sixties. He died in 1944.Lesley ...

Lucian Alexiu (1950) - básnik, literárny kritik, prekladateľ, editor. Je absolventom Filologickej fakulty Univerzity v Temešvári. Publikoval samostatne aj v spolupráci mnohé zväzky kritických vydaní diel rumunských a zahraničných autorov, antológie a preklady francúzskych, nemeckých, srbských, slovenských a ruských spisovateľov. Výber z básní Svetlo z diaľky obsahuje verše, ktoré transfigurujú skutočné veličiny každodenného života či už literárne/knižné, na diskurzívne, samostatne sa spravujúce veličiny, schopné vytvoriť si remodelácie extra muros (mimoosobné) určitého nadnáhodného časopriestoru. Básnik zvolil stratégiu zaznamenávania variácií svetla ako takého, čo je v značnej miere zriedkavosťou v rumunskej poézii. Verše sú originálne zvláštnymi pomenovaniami (lemury, hadojaštery,krotké zvieratá, koleoptéra, ale aj ulitníky, bodliaky, medvedíky záhradné), básnik vymýšľa ironicky groteskné scenáre o nezmyselnosti histórie a dáva do pozornosti opakujúce sa gestá všedného dňa na báze deskripcie a minimálnej sugescie.

Described by a later Greek historian as "a man seriously committed to raising a laugh", Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity and the puncturing of pretension, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. In this selection we see him conversing with his literary enemies, railing against hypocrisy and the vanity of human wealth and power, and taking a wry look at the power of lust and the unsatisfactory nature of deviant sexual practices.

Lucian Freud is not only the most celebrated artist working in England, but one of the most private. He has frequently stated his reluctance to be photographed and he has almost never agreed to be interviewed. Following the publication of the last ten years of his work by Jonathan Cape in the autumn of 2005, the painter has agreed to talk to Sebastian Smee, a writer on art whom he greatly respects, in a series of conversations rather than formal interviews. He wants to talk about painting itself, the demands of his own work and the painters he admires. Two photographers have had access to Freud''s studio. The late Bruce Bernard was a friend for many years and the subject of two of Freud''s paintings. Bernard was an authority on photography, a great picture editor, and also a very fine photographer. He made a number of studies of Freud at work. Over the last five years in particular, Freud''s assistant, the painter David Dawson, has been photographing the artist constantly. The results reveal various stages of works in progress, including paintings of Dawson himself, and the intensity of the activity in this very secret domain. The only precedent to such ...

Lucian (ca. AD 120–190), apprentice sculptor then traveling rhetorician, settled in Athens and developed an original brand of satire. Notable for the Attic purity and elegance of his Greek and for literary versatility, he is famous chiefly for the lively, cynical wit of the dialogues in which he satirizes human folly, superstition, and hypocrisy.

Lucian Freud’s portraits are known for their spectacular detail and unflinching gaze. Although Freud brought the same qualities to his paintings and drawings of plants, flowers, and landscapes, these are largely unknown. This elegant book shows how working with plants emboldened Freud to experiment with style and composition. Reproduced in sumptuous plates that allow readers to indulge in exquisite detail, seventy-five works – including Two Plants, Bananas, Cyclamen, The Painter’s Garden, and Interior at Paddington – reveal Freud’s singular approach to plant life. Readers unfamiliar with this aspect of Freud’s work will find many similarities to his portraits – earthy palettes, unconventional rawness, and assiduous attention to detail. From the delicate realism of the cyclamens’ petals to the bold brushstrokes that immortalize his overgrown garden, readers will appreciate Freud’s ability to portray plants in new and personal ways. Comparative illustrations from throughout art history accompany essays on the history of plants in art and an appreciation of Freud’s oeuvre. This monograph is a tremendous contribution to Freud’s legacy, one that will enrich his admirers’ discernment while also introducing his thoroughly original depictions of plants to a new audience.

Kniha pojednává v celé šíři problematiky o všech průzkumných metodách, které oba autoři při průzkumech pro přehrady aplikovali a uvádí praktické postupy a návody. Za velmi cenné a novátorské lze považovat zejména tu skutečnost, že více než teorii se oba autoři věnují praktickým příkladům, převážně z vodohospodářských staveb, kde prováděli průzkumné práce, nebo ze staveb, kde pracovali jako poradci, či je prostě jen navštívili a dokumentovali. Kniha se záhy stala nepostradatelnou pracovní pomůckou při průzkumu pro přehrady a osvědčila se i jako vysokoškolská učebnice.V roce 2009 byla navržena na udělení literální ceny nadace „Nadání Josefa, Marie a Zdeňka Hlávkových“ za nejlepší publikaci v oblasti vědecké literatury.

Vydejte se spolu s badatelem a spisovatelem Vladimírem Šiškou do kraje kolem Orlické přehrady. Kdysi jej protínalo hluboké údolí s divokou Vltavou a rozeklanými skalami. Dnes je tu jezero dlouhé 68 kilometrů. Okolí nabízí plno rozmanitých přírodních krás, zajímavou historii i pamětihodnosti na doby dávno minulé. Připomeneme si, jak se budovala přehrada s nejvyšší hrází u nás i jak se stavěly a bouraly mosty přes vltavské údolí, dozvíme se, které památky měly štěstí a podařilo se je zachránit. V kraji nacházíme spoustu bývalých tvrzí, hrádků i zámečků. Jaký byl jejich osud a kolik pověstí se k nim váže? Potkáme zde i mnohem starší pozoruhodnosti: nad vltavským údolím byla kdysi velká strážní hradiště z doby dávných Keltů i Slovanů. Jak asi vypadala v době největší slávy? Nemůžeme vynechat ani dvě nejslavnější památky s bohatou a tajemnou historií: zámek Orlík a hrad Zvíkov. Obě stavby, původně hrady na vysokých skalách nad řekou, se dnes zrcadlí na vodní hladině. Na každém kroku narážíme na chráněná území, kde ještě nedotčená příroda skrývá své skvosty v podobě vzácných zvířat, především ptáků, i chráněných rostlin.

Na počátku celé této knihy byla autorova snaha sepsat stručný článek o historii Vranovské přehrady. Dějiny přehrady nebyly dosud souhrnně obsáhleji popsány, v různých periodikách sice vyšlo bezpočet článků zmiňujících přehradu, většinou se však jednalo o dílčí zprávy a informace zabývající se pouze určitým tématem nebo řešící její problematiku velmi rámcově. O přehradě se psalo i v mnoha turistických průvodcích, bývá zmiňována v turistických mapách. Mnohdy však jsou tyto informace faktograficky rozdílné a někdy také s dost podstatnými nepřesnostmi. A tak začal Miroslav Vaněk pátrat...

Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola.

Neil Simon (1927-2018) began as a writer for some of the leading comedians of the day--including Jackie Gleason, Red Buttons, Phil Silvers, and Jerry Lewis--and he wrote for fabled television programs alongside a group of writers that included Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart, Michael Stewart, and Sid Caesar. After television, Simon embarked on a playwriting career. In the next four decades he saw twenty-eight of his plays and five musicals produced on Broadway. Thirteen of those plays and three of the musicals ran for more than five hundred performances. He was even more widely known for his screenplays--some twenty-five in all.Yet, despite this success, it was not until his BB Trilogy--Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, and Broadway Bound--that critics and scholars began to take Simon seriously as a literary figure. This change in perspective culminated in 1991 when his play Lost in Yonkers won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.In the twenty-two interviews included in Conversations with Neil Simon, Simon talks candidly about what it was like to write commercially successful plays that were dismissed by critics and scholars. He also speaks at length about the differences between writing for television, for the stage, and for film. He speaks openly ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Kdysi jej protínalo hluboké údolí s divokou Vltavou a rozeklanými skalami. Dnes je tu jezero dlouhé 68 kilometrů. Okolí nabízí plno rozmanitých přírodních krás, zajímavou historii i pamětihodnosti na doby dávno minulé. Připomeneme si, jak se budovala přehrada s nejvyšší hrází u nás i jak se stavěly a bouraly mosty přes vltavské údolí, dozvíme se, které památky měly štěstí a podařilo se je zachránit. V kraji nacházíme spoustu bývalých tvrzí, hrádků i zámečků. Jaký byl jejich osud a kolik pověstí se k nim váže? Potkáme zde i mnohem starší pozoruhodnosti: nad vltavským údolím byla kdysi velká strážní hradiště z doby dávných Keltů i Slovanů. Jak asi vypadala v době největší slávy?

Rebel Music is a tribute to one of the greatest legends in world music, Bob Marley. In 1975, Kate Simon first photographed Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Lyceum in London, where the now-legendary live performance of ‘No Woman No Cry’ was recorded. They then collaborated throughout the Seventies, with Simon shooting some of the most intimate, enduring and emblematic images ever taken of Marley, including his iconic Kaya album cover. Simon captured it all: portraits of the reggae greats of the Seventies, such as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh; the Exodus Tour, on the road with Bob Marley and The Wailers as they performed across Europe; and the One Love Peace Concert, where Bob famously united Jamaica’s opposing political leaders. Ultimately, in 1981, Simon would ride with the funeral cortege from Kingston to St Ann and Bob Marley’s final resting place. Rebel Music contains over 400 photographs from Simon’s archives, many published here for the first time. Introduced by Patti Smith, with a foreword by Lenny Kravitz and afterword by Keith Richards, a cast of 24 contributors join Simon in sharing the stories behind the images, including ex-Wailers guitarist Junior Marvin and bass player and ...
