In Stepford Daughters, Johanna Isaacson explores an emerging wave of horror films that get why class horror and gender horror must be understood together. In doing so, Isaacson makes the case that this often-maligned genre is in fact a place where oppressed people can understand, navigate and confront an increasingly ugly and horrifying world. Films like Hereditary and The Babadook show women coming apart at the seams as the promises of both the family and waged work fail them. In Get Out, we see how poor women and women of color perform the invisible labor that holds up our society, experiencing domestic work as a kind of possession. In “coming of rage” films such as Assassination Nation and Teeth, we see the ways social reproduction leads to a futureless horizon. Robbed of their dreams but not their power to resist, these heroines emerge as the monsters and avengers we need.

The women of Stepford are not all that they seem... All the beautiful people live in idyllic Stepford, Connecticut, an affluent, suburban Eden populated with successful, satisfied hubbies and beautiful, dutiful wives. For Joanna Eberhart, newly arrived with her husband and two children, it all seems too good to be true - from the sweet Welcome Wagon lady to all those cheerful, friendly faces in the supermarket checkout lines. But just beneath the town''s flawless surface, something is sordid and wrong - something abominable with roots in the local Men''s Association. And it may already be too late for Joanna to save herself from being devoured by Stepford''s hideous perfection.

During his 84-year life Benjamin Franklin was America's best scientist, inventor, publisher, business strategist, diplomat, and writer. He was also one of its most practical political thinkers. America's first great publicist, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public and polished it for posterity.In this riveting new biography Walter Isaacson provides readers with a full portrait of Franklin's public and private life - his loyal but neglected wife, his bastard son with whom he broke over going to war with England, his endless replacement families and his many amorous, but probably unconsummated, liaisons. But this is not just a biography of Benjamin Franklin but rather a fascinating look at American and European political history at that time. Isaacson examines the run up to the Revolutionary War, the intimate relations between Britain, France and the colonies and the decisive events that led to America's independence.Just as David McCullough brought life to the historic figure of John Adams, Isaacson portrays Franklin in the flesh, showing readers how this radical man helped define America's national character and personality.

NOW A MAJOR SERIES 'GENIUS' ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSHEinstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered. Einstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. This is the first full ...

He was history's most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions.

America’s bestselling biographer reveals the origins of the most revolutionary sentence in the Declaration of Independence, the one that defines who we are as Americans—and explains how it should shape our politics today. To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Walter Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of history’s most powerful sentences: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, this line lays the foundation for the American Dream and defines the common ground we share as a nation. Isaacson unpacks its genius, word by word, illuminating the then-radical concepts behind it. Readers will gain a fresh appreciation for how it was drafted to inspire unity, equality, and the enduring promise of America. With clarity and insight, he reveals not just the power of these words but describes how, in these polarized times, we can use them to restore an appreciation for our common values.

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those ...

Johanna is one of the daughters of a migrant cobbler from the eastern backwoods of Pomerania, born in the German Empire of the 1880s.

With nothing to lose, she accepts a job as the concession shop operator with the railroad. Her assignment is to travel with the construction crew across northern Germany.

Verejné pôsobenie JOHANKY Z ARKU netrvalo dlho. Od jej prvého vystúpenia pred kráľom Karolom VII. v Chinone vo februári 1429 až po upálenie na hranici v Rouene 30. mája 1431 uplynuli iba dva roky.

Dodnes ju považujeme za jednu z najzaujímavejších osobností európskeho stredoveku. Bola to ona, kto zvrátil priebeh storočnej vojny a začal postupné znovudobývanie Francúzska. Podarilo sa jej prelomiť anglické obliehanie mesta Orléans a presvedčiť Karola VII. o potrebe jeho pomazania v Remeši, ktorým posilnil svoju legitimitu ako kráľa Francúzska. Práve táto udalosť bola jedným z hlavných argumentov počas rehabilitačného procesu v roku 1456, na základe ktorého sa Johanka stala jednou z ikon (nielen) francúzskych dejín. Jej mimoriadna cesta neprestáva prekvapovať. Ako sa mohla prostá vidiecka dievčina dostať až ku kráľovi? Ako mohla žena zohrať takú významnú vojenskú úlohu?

Jo, a taky koupil Twitter. Ve škole v Jižní Africe Elona Muska často šikanovali. Jednou jej skupinka grázlů shodila ze schodů, a pak do něj kopali tak dlouho, až měl hlavu nateklou jako balón. Strávil týden v nemocnici. Všechny fyzické jizvy však vybledly vedle těch emočních, které mu způsobil otec, násilník, inženýr a charismatický fantasta. Když se Elon po tom výprasku vrátil z nemocnice domů, otec mu vynadal. „Musel jsem tam hodinu stát a poslouchat, jak na mě řve, nadává mi do idiotů a říká, že jsem k ničemu,“ vzpomínal. Otcovo chování mělo na Muska trvalý vliv. Vyrostl v tvrdého, ale přitom křehkého muže s duší dítěte a nesmírně vysokou tolerancí rizika, zálibě v dramatu, epickým pocitem poslání a maniakální urputností, která bývá bezohledná a občas dokonce destruktivní.

Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk—a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn’t get a teaching job or a doctorate—became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane.

Johan Cruyff byl jedním z největších hráčů fotbalové historie. Stal se synonymem totálního fotbalu a jeho filozofie fotbalu legendou.V autobiografii Moje filozofie fotbalu Cruyff vypráví příběh svého života od fotbalu na ulici po příchod do Ajaxu v deseti letech přes tři vítězství v Poháru mistrů evropských zemí až po přestup do Barcelony v roce 1973 za rekordní sumu. Poté přišlo vítězství v La Lize hned v první sezoně a Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího evropského hráče. Celkově získal Cruyff toto ocenění třikrát a přivedl nizozemskou fotbalovou reprezentaci do finále mistrovství světa v roce 1974.Po ukončení kariéry v roce 1984 se stal mimořádně úspěšným trenérem Ajaxu a poté Barcelony, kterou dovedl k prvnímu titulu v Lize mistrů v klubové historii. V roce 1999 byl Cruyff vyhlášen nejlepším evropským fotbalistou století a druhým nejlepším fotbalistou světa hned po Pelém. Později založil Cruyffovu nadaci, jejímž smyslem bylo poskytnout dětem možnost sportovat. Zatímco na hřišti či na lavičce měl Cruyff všechno z velké části pod kontrolou, život mimo fotbal byl výrazně bouřlivější – nevyhnul se bankrotu či pokusu o únos.

Kniha klasika holandskej literárnej moderny Frederika van Eedena (1860-1932) Malý Johannes je filozofickou rozprávkou pre dospelých. Dej sa odohráva v Holandsku približne v čase, keď žil autor; malý chlapec Johannes odchádza z domu, aby žil v prírode so zvieratami a mýtickými postavami. Tento chlapčenský sen sa mu však postupom času začne meniť na nočnú moru. Jediný možný spôsob, ako jej uniknúť, je vrátiť sa k "princípu reality" - a dospieť. Eedenom jednoducho vyrozprávaný príbeh chlapca, ktorý sa zmenší a načas splynie s prírodou, je iniciačnou prózou a zároveň veľkou dobovou polemikou o vzťahu človeka a prírody v časoch postromantizmu a druhej priemyselnej revolúcie. Hľadanie pravdy, krásy a šťastia ako základné smerovanie ľudského života je tu vsadené do rámca životných filozofií, umeleckých a prírodovedeckých názorov belle epoque a presvitá z neho silná tendencia k symbolizmu. Filozofický antimaterializmus, antinaturalizmus a idealizmus viedol autora k vysoko imaginatívnemu a v zásade symbolickému chápaniu prírody a vzťahu človeka k nej. V próze sa objavujú náznaky secesného vnímania sveta, prírody a kultúry, jej jazyk je prostý vo svojej pomenúvacej priamosti, avšak bohatý na výrazové prvky. Próza Malý Johannes patrí k základnému kánonu moderného holandského písomníctva.

Like so many, motivated by a quest for a ‘Higher Reality’, Johannes makes his way to India, the Motherload of spirituality. The introduction entitled ‘Getting there’, gives a brief, graphic description of his journey northwards, skilfully sketching out some key aspects of Indian life: colour, ancient tradition, poverty, diversity and humanity. Inspired by a long-term interest in Tibetan Buddhism, he makes his way to Kashmir, having booked a flight to Ladak. Deep snow scuppers the trip, and he encounters an unsuspected and hidden vein of Muslim spirituality, Sufism. Most of the book is then taken up with Johannes’ diary which details, daily life, friendships, stunning descriptions of his environment, but above all, the teachings of the Sufi Master Amin. Leader of the Chistya Sufis, he was an independent, tolerant, and free-thinking individual, with far reaching interests and profound spiritual insights. ‘It was his face that was truly striking. His head seemed massive, twice normal size. The enormous domed forehead, criss-crossed by wrinkles, the long aquiline nose and the piercing dark eyes spoke of granite will and power.’Caught between unconditional acceptance of the teachings, and resistance, due to nurture and inclination, the book makes interesting reading.

The lives of the three daughters of Lord Curzon: glamorous, rich, independent and wilful.Irene (born 1896), Cynthia (b.1898) and Alexandria (b.1904) were the three daughters of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India 1898-1905 and probably the grandest and most self-confident imperial servant Britain ever possessed. After the death of his fabulously rich American wife in 1906, Curzon''s determination to control every aspect of his daughters'' lives, including the money that was rightfully theirs, led them one by one into revolt against their father. The three sisters were at the very heart of the fast and glittering world of the Twenties and Thirties.Irene, intensely musical and a passionate foxhunter, had love affairs in the glamorous Melton Mowbray hunting set. Cynthia (''Cimmie'') married Oswald Mosley, joining him first in the Labour Party, where she became a popular MP herself, before following him into fascism.

Readers of Princess Sultana''s extraordinary biography Princess were gripped by her powerful indictment of women''s lives behind the veil within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. They were every bit as fascinated by the sequel, Daughters of Arabia.Here, the princess turns the spotlight on her two daughters, Maha and Amani, both teenagers. Surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born, but stifled by the unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, they reacted in equally desperate ways. Their dramatic and shocking stories, together with many more which concern other members of Princess Sultana''s huge family, are set against a rich backdrop of Saudi Arabian culture and social mores which she depicts with equal colour and authenticity. We learn, for example, of the fascinating ritual of the world-famous annual pilgrimage to Makkah as we accompany the princess and her family to this holiest of cities. Throughout, however, she never tires of her quest to expose the injustices which her society levels against women. In her courageous campaign to improve the lot of her own daughters of Arabia, Princess Sultana once more strikes a chord amongst all women who are lucky enough to have the freedom to speak out ...

''She imagines the experiences of the sisters with empathy and patience ... and ably manages to coax the few sparks of evidence into flames of personality ... Whoop, whoop! If anyone can find me another clutch of rebel princesses, let''s get crowd-funding.'' Hermione Eyre, SpectatorVirginal, chaste, humble, patiently waiting for rescue by brave knights and handsome princes: this idealized – and largely mythical – notion of the medieval noblewoman still lingers. Yet the reality was very different, as Kelcey Wilson-Lee shows in this vibrant account of the five daughters of the great English king, Edward I. The lives of these sisters – Eleanora, Joanna, Margaret, Mary and Elizabeth – ran the full gamut of experiences open to royal women in the Middle Ages. Living as they did in a courtly culture founded on romantic longing and brilliant pageantry, they knew that a princess was to be chaste yet a mother to many children, preferably sons, meek yet able to influence a recalcitrant husband or even command a host of men-at-arms. Edward’s daughters were of course expected to cement alliances and secure lands and territory by making great dynastic marriages, or endow religious houses with royal favour.

Elizabeth Gaskell''s Wives and Daughters is a story of romance, scandal and intrigue within the confines of a watchful, gossiping English village during the early nineteenth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Pam Morris.When seventeen-year-old Molly Gibson''s widowed father remarries, her life is turned upside down by the arrival of her vain, manipulative stepfather. She also acquires an intriguing new stepsister, Cynthia, glamorous, sophisticated and irresistible to every man she meets.

Mezi zjednodušeností náboženských představ a absurditou bezobsažné náhodnosti nám Carl Johan Calleman nabízí brilantní a přesvědčivou třetí cestu: Strom života, moderní teorii o původu a vývoji existence, teorii agnostickou, která spojuje poslední vědecké objevy s moudrostí starých civilizací. Za využití posledních kosmologických objevů a svých rozsáhlých znalostí mayského kalendáře nám biolog Carl Johan Calleman nabízí revoluční a plně rozvinutou alternativu Darwinovy teorie biologické evoluce a teorie náhodnosti, které stále ještě ovládají moderní vědu. Vysvětluje v ní vzájemnou korelaci nedávno objevené centrální osy vesmíru a Stromu života dávných civilizací. Dává tím fyzice obecně zcela nový rámec, zdůrazňující účelné zaměření vesmíru s ohledem na vznik a vývoj života, a vybízí nás, abychom na sebe pohlíželi jako na součást hierarchie vzájemně spolu souvisejících a synchronně se vyvíjejících systémů. Callemanův výzkum jasně naznačuje, že život se na naší planetě nevynořil náhodou a odnikud, ale že Země byla pro tento účel zvlášť vybrána. Autor nás seznamuje s různými kvantovými stavy Stromu života a s jejich odrazem v mayském kalendáři a vysvětluje novým způsobem původ a vývoj vědomí. S využitím svých vědeckých poznatků z biologie a kosmologie objasňuje reálnost myšlenky účelně zaměřeného vesmíru a ukazuje, jak dle obrazu Stromu života vznikla nejen DNA, ale celé organismy, ...
