Strašlivá závrať - Benjamín Labatut

Bůh nehraje se světem kostky, prohlásil Albert Einstein. Na což by mu Benjamín Labatut odpověděl, že Bůh možná ne, ale ďábel ano. Strašlivá závrať je románem faktu o vědcích, kteří ve svých oborech učinili převratné objevy - Bohrovi, Heisenbergovi, Schrödingerovi a dalších -, došli však na hranice lidského chápání a poprvé v dějinách dali lidstvu moc zničit sebe sama. Třeba německý chemik Fritz Heber objevil umělá hnojiva, která zachránila lidstvo před hladomory. Vynalezl ale také bojový plyn yperit, který zabil tisíce vojáků v zákopech první světové války, což jeho manželku dohnalo k sebevraždě, již spáchala před jeho očima. Podobně atomy, které roztrhaly Hirošimu a Nagasaki na kusy, nerozštěopily šikovné ruce generálů, ale skupiny fyziků vyzbrojených hrstí rovnic. Dramatický příběh Benjamína Labatuta o určujících momentech dějin vědy nás vrhá do vzrušujícího území mezi fakty a fikcí, pokrokem a zkázou, genialitou a šílenstvím a staví nás před otázku, jestli díky vědě lépa rozumíme světu, nebo ho naopak ztrácíme. Za svou knihu byl v roce 2021 nominován do finále Mezinárodní Bookerovy ceny.

The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah - Benjamin Zephaniah

Benjamin Zephaniah, who has travelled the world for his art and his humanitarianism, now tells the one story that encompasses it all: the story of his life. In the early 1980s when punks and Rastas were on the streets protesting about unemployment, homelessness and the National Front, Benjamin's poetry could be heard at demonstrations, outside police stations and on the dance floor. His mission was to take poetry everywhere, and to popularise it by reaching people who didn't read books. His poetry was political, musical, radical and relevant. By the early 1990s, Benjamin had performed on every continent in the world (a feat which he achieved in only one year) and he hasn't stopped performing and touring since. Nelson Mandela, after hearing Benjamin's tribute to him while he was in prison, requested an introduction to the poet that grew into a lifelong relationship, inspiring Benjamin's work with children in South Africa. Benjamin would also go on to be the first artist to record with The Wailers after the death of Bob Marley in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela.

The Benjamin Files - Fredric Jameson

The Benjamin Files offers a comprehensive new reading of all of Benjamin's major works and a great number of his shorter book reviews, notes and letters. Its premise is that Benjamin was an anti-philosophical, anti-systematic thinker whose conceptual interests also felt the gravitational pull of his vocation as a writer. What resulted was a coexistence or variety of language fields and thematic codes which overlapped and often seemed to contradict each other: a view which will allow us to clarify the much-debated tension in his works between the mystical or theological side of Benjamin and his political or historical inclination. The three-way tug of war over his heritage between adherents of his friends Scholem, Adorno and Brecht, can also be better grasped from this position, which gives the Brechtian standpoint more due than most influential academic studies. Benjamin's corpus is an anticipation of contemporary theory in the priority it gives language and representation over philosophical or conceptual unity; and its political motivations are clarified by attention to the omnipresence of History throughout his writing, from the shortest articles to the most ambitious projects. His explicit program – "to transfer the crisis into the heart of language" or, in other words, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Benjamin's Crossing - Jay Parini

The acclaimed and now-classic biographical novel of Walter Benjamin''s last days--adapted into screenplay by Jay Parini. It is 1940. For the past decade, Walter Benjamin--the German-Jewish critic and philosopher--has been writing his masterpiece in a library in Paris, a city he loves. Now Nazi tanks have overrun the suburbs, and Benjamin is forced to flee. With a battered briefcase that contains his precious manuscript of a thousand handwritten pages, he sets off for the border and is led by chance to a young anti-Nazi who is taking Jews and other refugees over the Pyrenees into Spain, where they may (with luck) make their way to freedom in Portugal or South America. Beloved biographical novelist Jay Parini''s thrilling tale of escape is beautifully interwoven with vignettes of Benjamin''s complex, cosmopolitan past: his privileged childhood in Berlin, his years with the German Youth Movement, his university days. His close friendship with Gershom Scholem, the eminent scholar of Jewish mysticism, and many other well-known artists and intellectuals who were part of Benjamin''s intimate circle between the two world wars. Part tragedy, part dark comedy, this sharply realized historical novel tells one of the great and most moving peripheral stories of the Holocaust.

Toward the Critique of Violence - Walter Benjamin

Marking the centenary of Walter Benjamin's immensely influential essay, "Toward the Critique of Violence," this critical edition presents readers with an altogether new, fully annotated translation of a work that is widely recognized as a classic of modern political theory. The volume includes twenty-one notes and fragments by Benjamin along with passages from all of the contemporaneous texts to which his essay refers. Readers thus encounter for the first time in English provocative arguments about law and violence advanced by Hermann Cohen, Kurt Hiller, Erich Unger, and Emil Lederer. A new translation of selections from Georges Sorel's Reflections on Violence further illuminates Benjamin's critical program. The volume also includes, for the first time in any language, a bibliography Benjamin drafted for the expansion of the essay and the development of a corresponding philosophy of law. An extensive introduction and afterword provide additional context. With its challenging argument concerning violence, law, and justice—which addresses such topical matters as police violence, the death penalty, and the ambiguous force of religion—Benjamin's work is as important today as it was upon its publication in Weimar Germany a century ago.

Zavřu oči v modlitbě - Alex Ahndoril

Druhý případ Julie Starkové. Soukromé vyšetřovatelce Julii Starkové zavolá zoufalá herečka Bianca Salová, kterou podle jejího tvrzení pronásleduje mrtvý snoubenec. Předešlou noc se Bianca probudila a uviděla ho ve své ložnici a o několik dní dříve se údajně vloupal do její divadelní šatny a zapálil jí šaty. Její snoubenec však tragicky zahynul před třemi lety, právě když Bianca zkoušela hlavní ženskou roli v tragédii Macbeth v Královském činoherním divadle. Bianca se tehdy přímo na jevišti zhroutila a celé představení muselo být zrušeno. Nyní dostal divadelní soubor šanci hru inscenovat znovu a během zkoušek se začaly dít ony nevysvětlitelné návštěvy. Julie Starková se hereččina případu ujme - doprovází Biancu na zkoušky a proniká do dynamiky divadelního prostředí. Zdá se, že stalker se pohybuje přímo v souboru. Téměř nikdo z herců nemá pro incidenty alibi a napětí před premiérou roste. Zároveň Julie požádá svého bývalého manžela Sidneyho, aby vyšetřil nejasnosti kolem úmrtí Biančina snoubence.

Závrať (na tři doby) - Jakub Bělan

Jakub Bělan (1981) vydal svou prvotinu Stín (Rozplyneš se) před dlouhými sedmnácti lety. To je skoro jedna generace. Zatímco v debutu mluvil v du-formě, v přítomné novince Závrať (na tři doby) mluví rovnou ve třech osobách: první, druhé a třetí. Není to trialog, každý mluvčí drží urputně svůj part, ale je to každopádně sama řeč, která tu hraje prim. Řeč chladné senzibility, řeč stínu a noci, řeč vzedmutá obrazy málem hororové atmosféry lovecraftiánského typu - ale taky řeč, která se zadrhává, láme a trhá, hroutí sama do sebe, řeč zániku a konce. A jakkoli to může vypadat absurdně, přesto je v Bělanově poezii kus světla, šance: "Stát se lodí / znamená jediné: / nalodit se. / Znovu se nalodit." Za slovo se tady totiž ručí tělem.

Nikdy se nevzdávej - Benjamin Ferencz - audiokniha

Audiokniha: 9 lekcí pro naplněný život. Inspirativní životní příběh stoletého Bena Ferencze, vyšetřovatele nacistických válečných zločinů, známého jako „žalobce zla“. Narodil se krátce po skončení první světové války v Transylvánii, v jednom z nejchudších koutů tehdejší Evropy na hranicích Rumunska a Maďarska. Ještě mu nebyl ani rok, když s ním rodiče opustili rodný dům a odešli do Ameriky. Do školy jej vzali až v osmi letech, předtím vyrůstal jako dítě manhattanských ulic, jeho rodiče se navíc v New Yorku rozvedli. Benjamin Ferencz zkrátka měl jen mizivé předpoklady k tomu, aby někdy získal jakékoliv vyšší vzdělání. A přesto – shodou příznivých okolností se stalo, že Benjamina přijali na střední školu a díky dobrým studijním výsledkům později i na vysokou. Jeho píle mu následně umožnila dokonce absolvovat právnická studia na Harvardu. Odtud už byl jen krůček k tomu, aby se jako voják americké armády dostal na sklonku druhé světové války k vyšetřování německých válečných zločinů. Když se s osobností Bena Ferencze seznámila před nedávnem reportérka listu Guardian Nadia Khomamiová, rozhodla se s ním udělat interview. Z původního nápadu nakonec vzešla celá kniha rozhovorů.

Walter Benjamin - Terry Eagleton

This momentous study of Benjamin’s critical practice marks a sea change in Eagleton’s thought. Its goal is not merely to contemplate Benjamin’s approach to language, history, and art but to chart a dynamic new course for contemporary socialist criticism. To do this, Eagleton brushes Benjamin’s Trauerspiel against seventeenth-century British literature, tests his concept of the ‘aura’ against Freud and Lacan, and undertakes his most sustained engagement with Derrida and the political crossroads of deconstruction.

Viral Justice - Ruha Benjamin

From the author of Race After Technology, an inspiring vision of how we can build a more just world—one small change at a time“A true gift to our movements for justice.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim CrowLong before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day. Vividly recounting her personal experiences and those of her family, Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. She recounts her father’s premature death, illuminating the devastating impact of the chronic stress of racism, but she also introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual aid and collective healing. Through her brother’s experience with the criminal justice system, we see the trauma caused by policing practices and mass imprisonment, but we also witness family members finding strength as they come together to demand justice for their loved ones. ...

Benjamin Franklin's Last Bet - Michael Meyer

The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age.Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall. In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.

The Return of Benjamin Lay - Naomi Wallace, Marcus Rediker

In your hearts you know the truth: I was here among you three hundred years ago . . . Had you chosen differently then – before slavery and greed breathed their venom so deeply into our souls – we would be living in another world now. It is not too late to purge these poisons.Benjamin Lay – shepherd, sailor, prophet, and the British Empire’s first revolutionary abolitionist – returns from the grave almost three hundred years after his death, as feisty and unpredictable as ever.A four-feet-tall ''Little David'' confronts the ''Goliath'' of slavery once again as he pleads to be readmitted into the Quaker community that has disowned him and who still believe him to be dangerous.Now, ''trembling at the edge of playing God himself'', how far will Benjamin go as he stares down his accusers?The Return of Benjamin Lay sweeps across the centuries in a bold exploration of an utterly impossible man. The play opened at the Finborough Theatre, London, in June 2023.

Introducing Walter Benjamin - Howard Caygill, Andrzej Klimowski, Alex Coles

Walter Benjamin is often considered the key modern philosopher and critic of modern art.Tracing his influence on modern aesthetics and cultural history, Introducing Walter Benjamin highlights his commitment to political transformation of the arts as a means to bring about social change.Benjamin witnessed first-hand many of the cataclysmic events of modern European history. He took a critical stance on the dominant ideologies of Marxism, Zionism and Technocracy, and his attempt to flee Nazi Europe ultimately led to his suicide in 1940.With its brilliant combination of words and images, this is an ideal introduction to one of the most elusive philosophers.

The Tao of Pooh & The Te of Piglet - Hoff Benjamin

"It's hard to be brave,' said Piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal."Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "It is because you are a very small animal that you will be useful in the adventure before us."Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese principles of Taoism. And as for Piglet, he embodies the very important principle of Te, meaning Virtue of the Small. Benjamin Hoff's explanations of Taoism and Te through Pooh and Piglet show that this is not an ancient and remote philosophy but something that you can use, here and now.An utterly unique book which makes complex concepts accessible with a little help from Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh may be a Bear of Very Little Brain but there are lessons to be learned from his approach to life. Beautifully decorated by E.H.Shepard.

Původ německé truchlohry - Walter Benjamin

Původ německé truchlohry (tiskem 1928), nejrozsáhlejší souvislý text Waltera Benjamina (1892-1940), podává unikátní výklad barokní jevištní i výtvarné alegorie - a činí tak jazykem plným aluzí, vnitřní dynamiky a neočekávaných obratů, nutících čtenáře nahlédnout hloubku povrchu a umění neumělosti. Walter Benjamin dnes bývá nejčastěji označován za filosofa kultury či teoretika médií; sám se ale možná chápal především jako teolog obrazu a jazyka, teolog, který poznává různá náboženství, ale k žádnému nepatří jednoznačně, a hovoří o božském, ale nekáže je. Vedle nového překladu tohoto klíčového textu moderního myšlení svazek obsahuje také dějová shrnutí hlavních barokních truchloher a medailony autorů, rukopisné materiály a dokumenty k Benjaminově neúspěšné habilitaci, jmenný i věcný rejstřík a reprodukce barokních grafik, na které Benjamin v textu odkazuje.

Benjamin Franklin - Walter Isaacson

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.

Race After Technology - Ruha Benjamin

From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture. Visit the book's free Discussion Guide: www.dropbox.com
