Svobodná vůle Karla Eliáše - Karel Eliáš, Zdena Žáčková, Lenka Vostrá

Profesor Karel Eliáš je jedním z nejuznávanějších českých právníků. Patří k těm, kteří po roce 1989 udávali českému právu směr. Jeho myšlenky a filozofické názory ovlivňují každodenní život nás všech, Karel Eliáš je totiž hlavním tvůrcem občanského zákoníku.Tato kniha představuje rozhovor vedený s tímto vzdělaným a inspirativním vědcem a pedagogem. Rozhovor vedený po dobu dvou let nechává čtenáře nahlédnout do pozoruhodného procesu vzniku občanského zákoníku a spatřit vlivy, vzory a zdroje, které hrály při jeho tvorbě roli. Umožňuje seznámit se s hlavním tvůrcem tohoto zásadního legislativního díla nikoliv pouze jako se symbolem rekodifikace českého soukromého práva, jak je často prezentován, ale především jako s člověkem.Rozhovorem nastíněný životní příběh Karla Eliáše je v neposlední řadě zajímavou výpovědí o generaci, která vyrostla v době socialistického režimu a po roce 1989 se jí otevřely možnosti podílení se na utváření nových společenských podmínek ve svobodné zemi.

The Elias Enigma - Simon Gervais

The bestselling author of The Elias Network returns with a globe-trotting thriller about a retired assassin called back into action in order to save everything he holds dear. Caspian Anderson, once a black-ops assassin known as Elias, now works for the Defense Clandestine Service. But unfinished business dies hard. Glimpsing a familiar face while tying up loose ends overseas, he swears it’s his lover, Liesel Bergmann—a German spy and erstwhile collaborator. But back stateside, he can’t ask her without giving himself away. This mystery hangs between them as they kick off a new mission together: to unravel a global criminal conspiracy, one that implicates Caspian’s own parents. Dispatched to France, they must track down rogue start-up founder Frank LaBelle before his cutting-edge defense tech falls into the wrong hands. But when Caspian’s team is compromised by friends and foes, he’s left with no one to trust but himself. And to complete the mission—and save the world—he resurrects the deadly Elias. Action packed yet intricately plotted, Simon Gervais’s The Elias Enigma deftly probes the mercurial nature of truth among spies and the lies we tell for love.

Audiokniha: Mami, tati, tady jsem! Vtipný, citlivý a laskavý příběh o malém chlapci, na kterého nemají jeho rodiče čas. Cítí se sám, dokud v zahradě neobjeví vejce, z něhož se vyklube malinká babička s křídly. „S rodiči je to jako s počasím. Člověk si je nevybírá. Ať se nám líbí, nebo ne, prostě jsou tady a nemá cenu stěžovat si.“ Malý chlapec Eliáš sice dostává od svých vzdělaných rodičů hodně informací, které mu mají pomoci v orientaci ve světě, ale co naplat, že oslňuje příbuzenstvo a učitelky, když se cítí sám. Nikdo z rodiny na něj nemá čas a kamarády nemá. Přitom tolik touží po jediném – aby si s ním táta s mámou hráli. Jednoho dne najde Eliáš v zahradě vejce, z kterého se vyklube podivná bytost – malinká babička s křídly. Eliáš ji pojmenuje Aty a spolu prožívají dobrodružství, o jakých se jeho rodičům ani nezdá.

Locus Solus - Raymond Roussel, Jan Švankmajer

Způsob vzniku novely Locus Solus, podobně jako Afrických dojmů a dalších svých děl, Raymond Roussel odhalil až posmrtně ve svém textu Jak jsem psal některé své knihy. Zrodil se z formálního omezení, kterým se autor řídil, kdy vzal dvě podobná slova, přidal k nim slova sice stejná, ale mající dva významy, a získal tak dvě téměř identické věty, na jejichž základě pak staví celý text. Význačný vědec a vynálezce Martial Canterel pozve skupinu svých kolegů a přátel k návštěvě svého venkovského sídla Locus Solus. Návštěvníkům předvádí stále bizarnější vynálezy korunované živým obrazem, ve skutečnosti představovaným mrtvými lidmi oživenými pomocí tekutiny resurrectinu, která po vstříknutí čerstvou mrtvolu nutí opakovat nejdůležitější událost jejího života. Raymond Roussel, za svého života nepochopený a znevažovaný, byť naprosto originální autor, jehož dílo obdrželo negativní reakce, se nakonec dočkal obdivu surrealistických skupin a dalších avantgardních autorů.

Sexuální mravy zakladatele islámu - Botros Zakaría, Ibrahim Raymond

Věděli jste, že zakladatel islámu Mohammed provozoval sex s devítiletou dívkou? Že podle islámských posvátných textů bude matka Ježíše Krista Marie v islámském ráji manželkou Mohammeda? Samotné muslimské posvátné texty hovoří o tom, že Mohammed přijímal Alláhova koránská zjevení oblečen do ženských šatů. Těmto a mnoha podobným morálním a charakterovým vlastnostem zakladatele islámu se věnují egyptský koptský kněz Zakaria Botros a Raymond Ibrahim, analytik z David Horowitz Freedom Center, ve svých přednáškách. Zakaria Botros (*1934) byl roku 1950 vysvěcen v Káhiře na kněze. Egyptské úřady jej dvakrát uvěznily za kázání evangelia muslimům. Po svém nuceném odchodu z vlasti působil jako kněz v Austrálii a v Anglii. Jelikož patřil Botros mezi hlavní kritiky islámu v Egyptě, vyhlásila teroristická organizace Al-Káida za jeho vraždu odměnu 60 milionů amerických dolarů. Botros je znalý islámské historie, teologie a Koránu, díky čemuž mají jeho přednášky na přívržence islámu zkázonosný dopad. Raymond Ibrahim (*1973) se narodil v USA rodině egyptských přistěhovalců z řad koptské menšiny. Promoval na California State University Fresno (titul M. A.) přičemž se ve své diplomové práci zabýval tématem vojenských střetnutí islámu a Byzance na počátku vzniku islámu. Ibrahim pracoval jako odborný asistent pro oddělení Blízkého východu Knihovny Kongresu USA a působil na postu náměstka ředitele pro Middle East Forum. V současné době působí jako specialista na islám mj. v konzervativní nadaci David Horowitz Freedom Center.

He only grasps little bits of what his teacher and friends say to him. And, all the time, Boy Bear keeps hearing the question, “Can bears ski?” What does it mean? With the support of Dad Bear, Boy Bear visits an audiologist and gets hearing aids. And suddenly, he understands... "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Now with an illustrated BSL alphabet included, Raymond and Polly draw from their personal experiences of deafness to show how isolating it can be for a deaf child in a hearing world and all the many different ways to communicate love.“The detail of how Little Bear can feel the vibration of Dad’s feet on the floor rather than hear his voice in the morning, and how he can feel the crunch of the snow under his feet when he walks to school, as well as the experience of visiting an audiologist, bring an authenticity to the depiction of being deaf or hard of hearing in childhood alongside a lovely story told in a relatable child voice.” - Booktrust

Raymond Saunders: Post No Bills - Raymond Saunders

Discover the visual dynamism of Raymond Saunders''s paintings and his multifaceted legacy as an artist and thinker in this seminal monograph.Saunders’s work brings together the artist''s extensive formal training with his own observations and lived experience. His assemblage-style paintings frequently begin with a monochromatic black ground elaborated with white chalk—a pointed reversal of the traditional figure-ground relationship. He subsequently adds a range of other markings, materials, and talismans. At once deliberately constructed and improvisatory, didactic and deeply felt, these richly built surfaces conjure a range of themes, allowing for a vast and nuanced multiplicity of meanings. A record of a two-part exhibition presented at David Zwirner and Andrew Kreps gallery in 2024, this catalogue considers Saunders’s ability to infuse his work with social relevance and commentary. Featured texts include an introduction by curator Ebony L. Haynes; a conversation between Haynes and Studio Museum of Harlem director Thelma Golden about her multidecade engagement with Saunders’s artwork and writing; and a facsimile reproduction of Saunders''s seminal self-published pamphlet from 1967 Black Is a Color, along with new annotated commentary by art historian Darby English. An essay by Jarrett Earnest provides an in-depth formal interpretation of two of Saunders’s chalkboard works. Also included is a never before published interview from 1980 between the artist and Judith Wilson in which Saunders discusses his multilayered practice. Lastly, a reprint of a pivotal text from 1993 by art historian Richard J. Powell offers a panoramic examination of Saunders’s art from 1968–1993, with a special focus on his iconic painting Dr. Jesus. This robust group of texts and academic considerations offers a compelling exploration of Saunders’s wide-ranging practice and lasting influence.

He Died with His Eyes Open - Derek Raymond

When a middle-aged alcoholic is found brutally battered to death on a roadside in West London, the case is assigned to a nameless detective sergeant, a tough-talking cynic and fearless loner from the Department of Unexplained Deaths at the Factory police station. Working from cassette tapes left behind in the dead man''s property, our narrator must piece together the history of his blighted existence and discover the agents of its cruel end. What he doesn''t expect is that digging for the truth will demand plenty of lying, and that the most terrible of villains will also prove to be the most attractive. In the first of six police procedurals that comprise the Factory series, Derek Raymond spins a riveting, and vividly human crime drama. Relentlessly pursuing justice for the dispossessed, his detective narrator treads where few others dare: in the darkest corners of London, a city of sin plagued by unemployment, racism and vice, and peopled by a cast of low-lifes, all utterly convincing and brought to life by Raymond''s pitch-perfect dialogue.

Glimpses of Eternity - Dr Raymond Moody

In his seminal book Life After Life, Dr Raymond Moody introduced the near-death experience (NDE) to the world, sharing the true stories of those who have returned from the brink of death. In this stunning sequel, Dr Moody returns to the area in which he made his name and provides compelling new evidence that NDEs are not the mere biological products of brains in the process of shutting down. Here, he shares the eyewitness accounts of those who have shared the experiences of the dying: the ''empathic death experiences'' that occur when those gathered at the bedsides of the dying have their own visions of the afterlife. Brimming with case studies and drawing upon a lifetime''s research as well as recent findings, this important book will change the way we think about life and death. As the baby-boomer generation begins to lose those they love, and international scientific research continues in this area, Dr Raymond Moody''s book could not be more timely.

How The Dead Live is a haunting, fantastical novel, with a hellish country house at its centre; a mystery with little interest in the mystery, a police procedural with almost no procedure. Instead, and as ever with Raymond, it''s a brilliantly unsettling investigation into love and damnation. This is life seen from the very bottom of the bottle - a fitting succesor to classic noir writers such as Jim Thompson and David Goodis.

Stovka černých šicích strojů - Elias Hirschl

Původní cena: 379 Kč, celková sleva: 74 % Hlavní hrdinou originálního románu mladého autora je osmnáctiletý civilkář, který po maturitě nastoupí jako pečovatel do chráněného bydlení pro psychicky nemocné. Na to, co ho čeká, není ovšem ani trochu připravený. Jistě, že jeho každodenní rutina bude poněkud bláznivá, to tušil. Nepočítal ale s tím, že pro něj bude čím dál tím těžší vyznat se v tom, proč jsou ošetřovatelé ošetřovatelé – a nikoli klienti. Navíc poměrně brzo ztratí i on sám ztratí pevnou půdu pod nohama a netuší, kam vlastně patří. Všechno v jeho životě jako by se vymklo zpod kontroly. Dokonce i vztah s přítelkyní. Někdy by ji nejradši zabil (ve svých snech to pravidelně dělá). Je sice na civilce, ale má čím dál tím silnější pocit, že svůj život tráví v psychiatrické léčebně – stejně jako my všichni. Elias Hirschl napsal ironický román plný absurdního humoru, který čtenáře pobaví, ale mimoděk je přiměje i k zamyšlení nad tím, kdo je tu vlastně blázen. Elias Hirschl je mladý, ale už nyní velmi úspěšný rakouský autor, poetry slamer a hudebník. Stovka černých šicích strojů je jeho třetí román.

Byla to ojedinělost tragická. Jako jediný ministerský předseda zemí okupovaných nacistickým Německem byl generál Alois Eliáš postaven před popravčí četu. Přivezli ho k večeru 19. června 1942 na střelnici v Praze-Kobylisích. Den po dobytí kostela v Resslově ulici, kde padlo v nerovném boji sedm parašutistů. Eliáš se s nimi nikdy nesetkal. Jeho úsilí bylo ale s jejich posláním totožné. Jen způsob boje byl odlišný… Nyní stojí nespoután, s očima nezavázanýma. Navenek mužně, klidně. Potvrdí to později svědci exekuce. Ale to on už nebude žít. Těsně před rozkazem k palbě snímá klobouk a odhazuje ho. Nikoli do dáli, ale jen k východnímu náspu, kde stojí pražský gestapák Fuchs a velitel pankrácké věznice Soppa. Chtěl asi umřít prostovlasý.
