The gripping, behind-the scenes story of one of the most sophisticated surveillance weapons ever created, which is threatening democracy and human rights.'Absorbing . . . a celebration of journalism and hacking being used to unmask the bad guys' - GuardianPegasus is widely regarded as the most powerful cyber-surveillance system on the market - available to any government that can afford its multimillion-dollar price tag. The system's creator, the NSO group, a private corporation headquartered in Israel, boasts about its ability to thwart terrorists and criminals: 'Thousands of people in Europe owe their lives to hundreds of our company employees', they declared in 2019. That may be true - but the Pegasus system doesn't just catch bad guys.Pegasus has been used by repressive regimes to spy on thousands of innocent people around the world: heads of state, diplomats, human rights defenders, lawyers, political opponents, and journalists.

Its full reach is not even known.This is the gripping story of how Pegasus was uncovered, written by Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud, the two intrepid reporters who revealed the scandal in collaboration with an international consortium of journalists. They received a leaked list of 50,000 mobile phone numbers, but they needed to prove NSO's involvement. After a dangerous and secretive investigation spanning the globe, their findings shook the world. Tense and compelling, Pegasus reveals how thousands of lives have been turned upside down by this unprecedented threat, and exposes the chilling new ways governments and corporations are laying waste to human rights - and silencing innocent citizens.

eBook: V současné době je šivejština jedinou ústní variantou mandžuštiny, která se ve skutečnosti užívá. S 20 000 až 30 000 mluvčích je také nejrozšířenějším mluveným tunguzským jazykem. Národ Šive, který žije na severozápadní hranici dnešního Sin-ťiangu, ujgurské autonomní provincie Číny, je tvořen potomky posádky mužů mandžuské armády z 18. století, kteří sem byli posláni poté, co byla oblast obsazena Mandžuy, kteří měli za úkol střežit nově zřízenou hranici mezi Mandžuskou říší a Ruskem. Jakožto vojáci cizí armády zůstali izolováni od domorodého tureckého a mongolského národa, což vyústilo v až zázračné zachování jazyka. V roce 1990, kdy ústní varianty mandžuštiny v historickém Mandžusku zanikly, nebo jsou nyní na pokraji vyhynutí, šivejština stále přežívá jako mluvený jazyk všech generací národa Šive v autonomním kraji Chapchal Sibe a jako jazyk střední a starší generace prakticky ve všech ostatních šivejských osadách Sin-ťiangu. Nyní, přestože je šivejsko-čínský bilingvismus velmi rozšířen, počet šivejsky mluvících, včetně mladých lidí, je stále ještě značně vysoký. Předkládaný popis gramatického fungování dvou hlavních slovních druhů – skloňování podstatných jmen a časování sloves – je dokumentován na příkladech a vzorových textech a poskytuje základní obecné informace o šivejštině a jejích mluvčích. Záměrem této práce je nabídnout čtenáři komplexnější obraz šivejštiny tak, jak je používána v současné době na svém historickém a kulturním území.

eBook: Trained in philosophy and medicine, the writer, translator, scholar, and political and cultural activist Siegfried Kapper (1821–1879) devoted significant effort to the advancement of Jewish culture in Bohemia, Jewish emancipation, and to the commitment of Jews to contemporary Czech society. The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, “Genenda”, displays Kapper’s operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a dutiful rabbi’s daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew, a deceit that ends in tragedy. “The Curious Guest” is an intricate tale of a quest for wisdom and power that inevitably leads to the undoing of the arrogant protagonist. The final story, “Glowing Coals”, is a supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying Kapper’s skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single national experience.
