smrt zapadu patrick j buchanan

Buchanan v knize popisuje zánik Západu. Příčinu vidí ve ztrátě jeho hodnot, především potom ve ztrátě židovské a křesťanské víry. Vinu za to dává idejím čtyř myslitelů, "Čtyřem, kteří stvořili revoluci", marxistickým teoretikům G. Lukácsovi, Gramscimu, Adornovi a Marcusovi. Ti jsou podle něj zdrojem kulturní revoluce a pokračování studené války, kulturní války. Jejím důsledkem potom jsou pokles porodnosti (vymírání obyvatel Západu), masové přistěhovalectví ze zemí třetího světa, interrupce, antikoncepce a vytváření světové vlády. Statistická čísla uváděná v knize v případě České republiky, jejíž obyvatelstvo je v podstatě produktem této revoluce, patří k nejhorším v západním světě. Nesmírně poutavá kniha, kterou však čtenář může strávit pouze tehdy, zbaví-li se všech svých předsudků k náboženství a víře.

Kniha vycházející pod názvem Láska, smrt a vzkříšení obsahuje tři novely německého spisovatele Patricka Rotha (nar. 1953), který je u nás znám prvním vydáním románu Corpus Christi (1998) a později z vydání objemného svazku Východ slunce. Kniha Josefova (2018). Z rozsáhlého Rothova díla se nyní Volvox Globator rozhodl vydat tři novely, Moje cesta k Chaplinovi, Cizí jezdec a Magdalena u hrobu, jejichž souhrnným tématem je otázka vzkříšení, znovuzrození ve smyslu znovunalezení smyslu života. Roth se dlouhodobě zabývá tématem novodobého pochopení myšlenek bible v současnosti. Moje cesta k Chaplinovi (Suhrkamp 2013) je autobiografická novela z roku 1997, napsaná v tradici románu umělce a zachycující okouzlení Chaplinem a jeho filmy v době mládí až k uměleckému dospívání. Umělcova cesta za géniem se udála na Nový rok 1976 a autor se na ni rozpomíná se záměrem shrnout, jaké účinky mělo setkání s Chaplinem na jeho psychiku, uměleckou dráhu a celý život. V novele Cizí jezdec, která původně tvořila pátou část Rothových Frankfurtských přednášek z poetiky, jež byly proneseny na univerzitě J. W. Goetha v roce 2002, líčí autor oslavnou rekonstrukci střetnutí, které vešlo do dějin jako Pickett‘s Charge (Pickettův výpad), k němuž došlo na závěr bitvy u Gettysburgu v roce 1863.

Nekonečná válka donutí samu Smrt stávkovat. Může vůbec někdo vyhrát, když nikdo nemůže zemřít? Básník Petr Kien a skladatel Viktor Ullmann stvořili během svého nedobrovolného pobytu v terezínském ghettu něco neuvěřitelného – nezapomenutelnou operu, kombinující prvky dystopické sci-fi, mytické fantasy, alternativní historie a žánru zombie do podoby satirické frašky o totalitě. Ani jeden z tvůrců nepřežil holokaust a neviděl nikdy provedení své opery na jevišti. Toto neuvěřitelné dílo, pojaté jako akt odporu proti teroru, je i dnes, osmdesát let po svém vzniku, stále aktuální. Nyní vám jej přinášíme v podobě grafického románu.

The Patrick Melrose Novels hilariously dissect the English upper class, conjuring a world of decadence, amorality, greed, snobbery, and cruelty, but never without the possibility of grace. Taken together, they are one of the most thrilling reading experiences in contemporary fiction. Edward St. Aubyn chronicled the life of Patrick Melrose across five short novels, painting an acrid portrait of a beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege. Never Mind unfolds over a day and an evening at the family’s chateau in the south of France, where the sadistic and terrifying figure of David Melrose dominates the lives of his rich and unhappy American wife, Eleanor, and their five-year-old son, Patrick. Bad News opens as Patrick, now twenty-two years old, sets off to collect his father’s ashes from New York, where he will spend a drug-crazed twenty-four hours.Back in England, Some Hope offers Patrick the possibility of recovery (and the most debauched and riotous dinner party in contemporary fiction). The Booker-shortlisted Mother’s Milk returns to the family chateau, where Patrick, now married and a father himself, struggles with child rearing, adultery, his mother’s desire for assisted suicide, and the loss of the family home.

Je morálně oprávněné, aby medicína nejen léčila nemoci, ale i vylepšovala člověka? Věda by mohla v dohledné době zvýšit lidskou inteligenci, zlepšit paměť, prodloužit život a zpomalit stárnutí, a dokonce i zdokonalit náš charakter. V současné diskusi naneštěstí převládají extrémní pozice -- na jedné straně konzervatismus, varující před nástupem zdokonalených nadlidí, kteří si podmaní zbytek lidstva, na straně druhé nekritický optimismus, věřící v technologické řešení všech lidských problémů. Americký bioetik Allen Buchanan ve své čtivé knize odmítá jak konzervatismus, neboť lidský genom se stále vyvíjí a zásah do něj není přestupkem ani proti bohu, ani proti přírodě, tak přehnaný optimismus, který podceňuje nezamýšlené důsledky vylepšování.

An indispensable guide to Greenland—why it matters, who covets it and why this wilderness of 56,000 inhabitants could become the next global flashpoint.Greenland is no ordinary island. From its discovery by Norsemen to its contemporary strategic significance, it has been a frontier for human exploration and empire, today emerging as a facilitator of geoeconomic competition. This book delves into the rich history and complex politics of Greenland, revealing how this icy expanse has shaped—and been shaped by—the world. This short history begins with the Vikings, whose mysterious disappearance from Greenland in the 1400s remains one of history’s great puzzles. It then explores the island’s gradual transformation from a Danish possession to an autonomous territory, charting its role during the World Wars and its strategic importance during the Cold War.Greenland finds itself at the centre of a renewed ‘great game’, balancing transatlantic ties, rising Chinese influence, and mounting domestic pressures for independence. And that’s before President Trump’s agenda is factored in.Starting from Trump’s plan to purchase Greenland, Elizabeth Buchanan dissects the island’s contemporary role and poses four provocative scenarios for its future—from full independence to an icy geopolitical standoff with Denmark. So You Want to Own Greenland? is an essential read ...

Vydává se tedy z malého amerického města do světa televize, fi lmu, broadwayského muzikálu; učí se magii; získává první erotické zkušenosti; objevuje sám sebe a svou sexuální orientaci; žení se a má děti; dosahuje úspěchů u kritiky i diváků. Harris ve své knize nejen rekapituluje svou úspěšnou hereckou dráhu, nemlčí ani o svých neúspěších, a neváhá odkrýt své soukromí, pokud tím může povzbudit lidi, kteří jen obtížně hledali sami sebe nebo se museli vyrovnávat s předsudky okolí.

Chlapce však neděsí, protože nic nemůže být horší, než noční můry, které ho v poslední době pronásledují. Než realita, ve které žije. Než fakt, že jeho máma je vážně nemocná, táta kdesi za mořem s novou rodinou a na něj zbyla jenom upjatá babička, s níž si nerozumí. Když se teď rozhádal se svou nejlepší kamarádkou, nezbyl nikdo, komu by mohl říct, že se mu ve škole spolužáci buď vyhýbají pohledem, nebo ho šikanují. Proč by se měl bát tajuplného přízraku z dávných časů, ukrývajícího se v podobě starého stromu za domem, který tvrdí, že ho sám zavolal? Přichází proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy.

Patrick Roth vypráví neuvěřitelný příběh Josefa z Nazaretu jako zoufajícího si člověka, líčí jeho hlubokou víru a neposlušnost vůči Bohu. Román zároveň pátrá po možnosti nového počátku. Jeruzalém v roce 70 po Kristu: hrozí, že římské oddíly zboří ochranné hradby. Obléhání Svatého města je výchozím bodem románu plného silných obrazů, jehož oblouk vyprávění se klene až k okamžiku Ježíšova narození. Ve středu událostí stojí Josef, Mariin muž, o němž evangelia vyprávějí, že naslouchal snům, když k sobě přijal ženu a dítě. Patrick Roth mu přisuzuje osud plný napětí, drama mezi člověkem a božskostí jako neuchopitelnou mocí. Třináct let po Ježíšově zrození vyžaduje Bůh od Josefa nejvyšší oběť. „Kde je tu spravedlnost, abych porozuměl?“ žaluje Josef tváří v tvář neopodstatněné Boží vůli. Dokáže tuto oběť přinést? V rafinovaně do sebe propletených pasážích mezi snem a realitou proniká román do prostoru prožitků, v němž se bortí zdánlivé jistoty. Rothovo vypravěčské umění vychází z existenciální zkušenosti a svědčí o výjimečné síle autorova jazyka, který je ve svém přiblížení výrazovému rytmu Bible sám estetickým zážitkem. Od současné tvorby se způsob Rothova vyprávění odlišuje především v tom, že připouští transcendenci, a ve své radikální vážnosti je ojedinělým zjevem v německy psané literatuře.
