stratena romanca jan beno

Ján Beňo (nar. 1933), renomovaný prozaik, autor vyše desiatky románov, v ktorých stvárňoval výrazné charaktery s tradičnými koreňmi humanity, mravných zákonov i empatie protikladných k prispôsobivým sebcom (diela Alej lásky, Druhý semester, Predposledný odpočinok, Vyberanie hniezda) kontinuitne pokračuje aj po roku 1989. V knihách Maslo na hlave (1997), Pŕhľava pre speváčku (2000), Kolotoč (2002) sa stavia proti javom a spôsobom, ktoré šafária v spoločnosti a kultúre a vydávajú sa za hodnotné. Po autobiografickom románe Život s kufrom (2015) sa vrátil do rokov, keď neúprosná kolektivizácia začala ústiť do Stratenej romance roľníckeho stavu na Slovensku. Práve o udalostiach a príbehoch, ktoré sa diali pred vyše šesťdesiatimi rokmi, sa dnes veľmi nepíše. Veľká väčšina tvorcov literatúry sú ľudia mladí a mladší a ich pevninou je hlavne súčasnosť, ktorú žijú. Značný časový odstup od látky vybranej pre literatúru však nestráca svoje opodstatnenie a výhody i preto, lebo sa významne zmenil režim a o mnohom sa dá písať otvorene aj vďaka tomu, že autor vie viac o svojom predmete a jeho poučenejší pohľad môže prinášať - ako je to v prípade kolektivizácie začiatkom päťdesiatych rokov na stredoslovenskom vidieku - iný "balík" faktov a názorov, reakcií, vnútorného prežívania i vonkajších postojov zainteresovaných z jednej aj z druhej strany, ktoré sa podieľali na strácaní roľníckej romance, na fyzickej i duchovnej premene "živiteľov národa" zo samostatných subjektov na objekty diktatúry proletariátu; tá bola totiž aj diktatúrou nad roľníctvom v štáte nazývanom robotnícko - roľníckym.

When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

Kniha přináší rozhovory s předními českými a zahraničními ekonomy, akademiky, byznysmeny a intelektuály o přeměnách světa v příštích třiceti letech. Jaké scénáře a trendy převládnou v budoucnosti? Kdo uspěje v digitální a nejisté době a jaké vzdělání, dovednosti a vlastnosti budou pro mladou generaci klíčové? "V těchto dnech se píše historie," podotýká špičková manažerka Marian Salzmanová v rozhovoru s investičním stratégem Štěpánem Uheríkem k turbulentní současnosti, a globální chaos představuje jako "nový normál".

Negativa jsou tak větší, silnější, rychlejší, jakoby by byla na steroidech. Stejně je to pak s příležitostmi, které "průvodce chaosem" rovněž rozebírá. Je na každém z nás, jak se k zásadním proměnám světa postaví.

Životopisný román o Josefu Hasilovi, nepolapitelném převaděči, kterého samotná StB označovala jako Krále Šumavy, vychází z jeho vlastních vzpomínek, svědectví pamětníků i archivních dokumentů. Jedná se o dosud nejrozsáhlejší literární rekonstrukci téměř neuvěřitelného příběhu muže, který po válce nejprve pomáhal střežit hranici v policejní uniformě tehdejšího Sboru národní bezpečnosti, ale po únoru 1948 se stal jeho nejobávanějším soupeřem. Vedle špionážně-politického pozadí přináší román také příběhy. Hasilovy početné rodiny a jeho osudových žen. Kniha tak zachycuje nejen výjimečný lidský osud, ale rovněž dramatické události spojené se vznikem nechvalně známé železné opony a je poctou všem mužům a ženám, kteří se statečně postavili politické zvůli a tyranii. Na motivy románu vznikla stejnojmenná komiksová trilogie. „Dosud nejlepší Žákův román poctivě ukazuje veliký příběh, v němž se prolíná dokument s fikcí. Čtivé, silné, autentické dílo.“ (Lidové noviny) Josef Hasil (1924–2019) V říjnu 1948 byl zatčen a posléze odsouzen za nelegální převádění na Západ. Po útěku z pracovního tábora začal v Bavorsku pracovat pro americkou zpravodajskou službu jako agent-chodec. Na Šumavě takříkajíc před očima pohraničníků a StB se mu podařilo vytvořit hustou síť spolupracovníků a informátorů. Po vybudování železné opony odešel v roce 1954 o Spojených států, kde strávil zbytek života. V roce 2001 byl prezidentem Václavem Havlem vyznamenán Medailí Za hrdinství. David Jan Žák (1971 v Prachaticích) Prozaik a básník, původní profesí novinář. V nakladatelství Labyrint vydal novelu Axe Africa (2006), krimi thriller ze Šumavy Ticho (2009) a rozsáhlou literární reportáž k novému vydání románu Král Šumavy (2013) od Rudolfa Kalčíka. V současné době vyučuje výtvarný obor na ZUŠ v Prachaticích. Se svou rodinou žije na Šumavě.

Agile Strategy is a practical guide for managers responsible for setting the strategic direction of their organisations in increasingly dynamic markets. Through its frameworks, tools and real-world examples, it explains how to transform business performance through greater organisational agility. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Why do we need a new book on strategy?The pace of change is increasing, and strategic management is not keeping up. More than one in four (28%) strategic initiatives fail to meet their original goals and business intent[1], with insufficient agility identified as one of the top three barriers to successful strategy implementation[2].The square peg of traditional strategy — vision, mission and blue-sky exercises; the separation of strategy from “implementation” — no longer fits the round hole of increasingly dynamic markets. It is time for a new approach.How is Agile Strategy different?Agile Strategy distinguishes itself from other strategy and agile books currently available in that it is: Designed for large organisations: Much of the writing on agile techniques addresses start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which operate under very different constraints and freedoms. Agile Strategy is written for large organisations who want to be more agile. Commercially-led: The approach is not a lightly airbrushed business rewrite of agile software development practices, but rather a fundamental rethinking of commercial and operational business practices. Practical: It is anchored in innovative and robust concepts but designed as a practical “how-to” guide: a book for practitioners, written by a practitioner. Results-focused: Whilst addressing a broad range of organisational topics, the book is grounded in the definition and delivery of measurable business benefits. Why should I read it?Agile Strategy offers four key benefits to its readers: A clear framework ("RADAR") A single, easy-to-grasp guiding principle: The Horizon Measurable benefits A practical approach I hope you not only enjoy reading about this innovative new approach, but also go on to realise the full potential of your organisation by implementing it.

Experimentální román ze současnosti Daniel vlastní byt v Táboře, ale pracuje v Praze a domů jezdí jen na víkendy. Zuzana odešla od přítele a nemá dost peněz, takže uvítá nájem aspoň na všední dny. Ty dva nespojuje nic než prostor, který každý po svém obývají, a ten prostor je zároveň rozděluje. Jak by vlastně dva lidé mohli mít něco společného? On se stará o umírajícího otce, péče o hrany života však zbude vždycky na ni. Jemu zalehlo srdce, ona má šelest na mozku. Dva příběhy ze současnosti, které se dotýkají a zároveň míjejí, dvě samomluvy, které se až díky čtenáři mohou stát rozhovorem. Jana Šrámková a Jan Němec našli nezvyklý způsob, jak napsat knihu dohromady a zároveň každý zvlášť. Výsledkem je originální román, který lze číst z jedné nebo druhé strany, anebo třeba na přeskáčku. Není to však literární hra, ale osudová volba: na směru čtení nezávisí nic menšího než Danielova a Zuzanina budoucnost. Není však život nakonec palindrom? V elipse spí lev, říká Daniel. Uchem v mechu, odpovídá Zuzana.

Selected as a Financial Times Best Book of 2013In Strategy: A History, Sir Lawrence Freedman, one of the world''s leading authorities on war and international politics, captures the vast history of strategic thinking, in a consistently engaging and insightful account of how strategy came to pervade every aspect of our lives. The range of Freedman''s narrative is extraordinary, moving from the surprisingly advanced strategy practiced in primate groups, to the opposing strategies of Achilles and Odysseus in The Iliad, the strategic advice of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, the great military innovations of Baron Henri de Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz, the grounding of revolutionary strategy in class struggles by Marx, the insights into corporate strategy found in Peter Drucker and Alfred Sloan, and the contributions of the leading social scientists working on strategy today. The core issue at the heart of strategy, the author notes, is whether it is possible to manipulate and shape our environment rather than simply become the victim of forces beyond one''s control. Time and again, Freedman demonstrates that the inherent unpredictability of this environment-subject to chance events, the efforts of opponents, the missteps of friends-provides strategy with its challenge and its drama. Armies or corporations or nations rarely move from one predictable state of affairs to another, but instead feel their way through a series of states, each one not quite what was anticipated, requiring a reappraisal of the original strategy, including its ultimate objective. Thus the picture of strategy that emerges in this book is one that is fluid and flexible, governed by the starting point, not the end point. A brilliant overview of the most prominent strategic theories in history, from David''s use of deception against Goliath, to the modern use of game theory in economics, this masterful volume sums up a lifetime of reflection on strategy.

Jan Gabriel (1949) ve své nové básnické sbírce Nerozvěšené obrazy rozvíjí originální osobní poetiku, již můžeme ve zkratce charakterizovat jako plynulý přechod z uvolněné výrazné metaforiky ke kontemplaci či jedinečné impresi, ale i - možná především - jako postup opačný: významově neuzavřená, v základě spontánní, mnohdy zdánlivě "neřízená", leč vždy kultivovaná metaforika (Jen déšť a ruce kudy cestují svaly jako jezera nebo prsteny, sestry mrtvých, které zvolna dohořívají) tvoří jakýsi doplněk a vlastně i důsledek primární imprese a kontemplace, vzácněji též určité vnitřně modelované vize. Tento modus svébytného civilismu tu stojí v jisté opozici vůči jiné výrazné tendenci současné české poesie, již bychom mohli cum grano salis vymezit jako linii kolářovsko-wernischovskou, a je orientován spíše jmény takových básníků jako byl Vratislav Effenberger, či dnes jsou Petr Král, Stanislav Dvorský či Roman Erben. Jan Gabriel ovšem zásadně přepodstatňuje vlivy a výrazové postupy jmenovaných autorů, a skládá cosi jako neotřele imaginativní puzzle vlastního vidění a výrazu, jenž je v posledku, ve svém celku - a to není paradox - strukturován a konfigurován osobitě. Lze říci, že je to především výrazná pocitovost, cosi, co bychom označili jako jakýsi imaginativní impresionismus, který tvoří nejviditelnější silokřivky jeho skladebného úsilí. V tomto rámci, když se autor vzdá agresivních či extatických poloh a vychází třeba jen z letmého denního zážitku či z prvotní, nasnadě jsoucí glosy ke dni anebo například z povýtce jen načrtnutého erotického motivu atp., a pokud se tyto okamžiky stávají zdrojem obrazotvorných kreací, je jeho poesie nejsilnější. Cítíme-li takové prosté zkušenostní východisko, anebo jsme-li schopni je jakkoli zaregistrovat, je i celá, někdy i více či méně alogická struktura lyrické básně důvěryhodná. Takto vzniká reprezentativní nezastupitelně gabrielovský básnický tvar. Kniha Jana Gabriela Nerozvěšené obrazy je jeho čtvrtou básnickou sbírkou. Součástí knihy je singovaný originální grafický list Romana Erbena. (Náklad 240 ks).

Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.'In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft which he believes they embodied.After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility'. Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will'. During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium'.After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence'. Against the odds, Lee Kwan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by 'the strategy of excellence'. Although when she came to power Britain was known as 'the sick man of Europe', Margaret Thatcher renewed her country's morale and international position by 'the strategy of conviction'.To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and - because he knew each of their subjects, and participated in many of the events he describes - personal knowledge. The book is enriched by insights and judgements such as only he could make, and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

A powerful and original new take on business strategy—with the customer at the center of it—designed to generate enduring competitive advantage When setting strategy, organizations typically spend too much time thinking about the competition and resources within the firm and not enough time on the customer—the soul of any organization. Such an approach is reflected in the fact that most popular theories of business strategy have focused on resource- and capability-based perspectives of the firm. Real-world businesses embracing and applying these intuitively attractive theories have struggled to compete, however, exactly because those theories fail to adequately account for the most important actor in all commercial transactions: the customer. In The Soul of Strategy, two veteran strategists and academics deliver a straightforward new approach to business strategy—one that builds and expands on the classic work of Peter Drucker—recognizing the inescapable reality, faced by every organization, that a firm's primary job is to create and keep customers. The book offers a comprehensive customer-centric strategy framework, a set of fresh perspectives and tools, and step-by-step guides to implementing the leadership styles, governance structures, and technology that companies require to outcompete their rivals in attracting and retaining customers. The book brings to life these key principles by using case studies and examples of organizations in a variety of industries. You'll find: A clear description of the concept of customer centricity and its value to the organization. A new consumer behavior framework that will enable you to ask the right questions to elicit unique, actionable customer insightsA “Customer Choice Cascade” that details how to select, prioritize, and deliver value for both customers and the firm. A balanced perspective on how to both find sources of innovation and systematically abandon activities, products, structures and systems that no longer add value to customers. The key role that customer insight data play in setting customer-centered strategy. Expansions on Drucker's proven strategic insights and ideas that go beyond well-worn frameworks like Porter's Five Forces. Perfect for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, The Soul of Strategy is also a can't-miss resource for strategy consultants and advisors and anyone else interested in effective new ways of thinking about difficult and long-standing strategic problems.

Although the CEO and the board decide a company''s overall direction, it is the managers at all levels of the organisation that will determine how the vision can be transformed into action. In short, everyone is involved in strategy. But getting it right involves difficult choices: which customers to target, what products to offer and the best way to keep costs low and service high. And constantly changing business conditions inevitably bring risks. Even after business strategy has been developed, a company must remain nimble and alert to change, and view strategy as an ongoing and evolving process.The message of this guide is simple: strategy matters, and getting it right is fundamental to business success - this book will show you how.

Strategy decision making and action used to be off limits to all but the select few at the very top of an organization. It was a largely cerebral activity focused on grand long-terms plans made at annual off-site retreats away from the daily challenges of the business. That is no longer the case.The current business environment does not wait for companies to slowly adjust in an annual meeting. The relentless pace of change renders today''s long-term future tomorrow''s history. Rapid innovations and ever-increasing complexities limit executives'' ability to make decisions with perfect information. Does this mean strategy is no longer useful, or even feasible? No. Good strategists are needed now more than ever. But today''s high-performing organizations think of strategy differently than in the past. These companies make strategy part of every manager''s role; they strategize continuously and tackle strategic problems through individuals from all parts of the organization.Strategy in this new, fast-paced world is about diagnosing the diverse array of complex challenges confronting organizations, deciding on novel solutions to address those challenges, and delivering by taking action on those solutions. Including a novel organizational framework and never-before-published application examples, Strategy in 3D helps build these foundational skills and prepares the reader for success as a strategist in the 21st century.

Obhajobou disertační práce Gogol a anglický román 18. století ukončil Jiří Weil (1900-1959) v roce 1928 studium slovanské filologie a srovnávacích dějin literatury na FF UK. Vedoucím práce byl Václav Tille, oponentem F. X. Šalda. Weil ve své disertaci - v souladu s proklamovaným komparatistickým zaměřením - usouvztažňuje vývoj anglického romanopisectví 18. století s vývojem díla Nikolaje Vasiljeviče Gogola. V interpretačních postupech, ve způsobu práce s konkrétními texty a ve vysoké míře citlivosti k jemným textovým nuancím se poodkrývají schopnosti, které Weil uplatnil později ve svých reportážích, v románech Moskva-hranice a Dřevěná lžíce a i v poválečných románech. Podrobným a poctivým uvažováním o Gogolově díle si Weil připravil půdu pro vlastní uměleckou tvorbu. Zpřístupnění textu Weilovy disertace tak umožňuje z nové perspektivy vnímat i Weilovo beletristické dílo. Zároveň některé poznatky a úvahy, jež se staly součástí disertace, Weil uplatnil ještě před jejím sepsáním v přehledových studiích o ruské literatuře, jež byly zveřejňovány v periodikách a jež jsou součástí svazků Spisů 1, 3 a 8. Edice je doplněna vydavatelským aparátem a rejstříky.

In 1958 he published a revised edition of his most ambitious work, entitled Strategy and Tactics of Chess, which became one of the most legendary manuals in the Soviet chess school, and no doubt one of the books that motivated the young Bobby Fischer to learn Russian.Lisitsin broke down Strategy and Tactics into their key constituent elements, enabling players of all levels to study chess systematically, learning from carefully selected game fragments and studies. Key Elements of Chess Strategy and its companion volume Key Elements of Chess Tactics are the first ever complete English translations of Lisitsin''s classic.In this volume, Lisitsin breaks down the Foundations of Strategy into categories such as piece placement, exchanges, weaknesses and prophylaxis, followed by a section on Devising a Strategic Plan, including concepts such as blockading, undermining, the initiative, pawn chains, and planning in the opening.

Digital transformation is no longer news--it''s a necessity.Despite the widespread threat of disruption, many large companies in traditional industries have succeeded at digitizing their businesses in truly transformative ways.The New York Times, formerly a bastion of traditional media, has created a thriving digital product behind a carefully designed paywall.

Audiokniha: Kdo jiný by došel temným lesem bez baterek hvězd až k hraničním kamenům? Životopisný román o králi šumavských převaděčů snímá z Josefa Hasila (1924–2019) legendární masku fantoma pohraničníků a estébáků. Na pozadí ponurých let 1948–1951 líčí autor dozrání bednářského učně, sukničkáře a fanfaróna v nepřítele režimu, který od únorového puče pomáhal v uniformě strážmistra SNB „kopečkářům“ na Západ. Přestože byl prozrazen a komunisté mu vyměřili osud mukla, podařilo se Hasilovi z lágru utéct do Bavorska a poté se do rodného kraje vracel jako agent-chodec řízený americkou CIC, aby v měsících před zadrátováním železné opony vodil přes hranice další uprchlíky a organizoval výzvědnou síť. Jeho spanilé výpravy do nepřehledného terénu lidských motivací prověřily jak soudržnost obyvatel Šumavy, tak zjištění, že leckdo se rád ohne podle biče mocných. O to víc vynikne drama muže, jenž se navzdory malému vzrůstu stal hrdinou, byť snu o brzkém znovunastolení svobody obětoval lásku, rodinu i ideály. Románový bestseller Návrat Krále Šumavy vedle této audioadaptace inspiroval vznik stejnojmenné komiksové trilogie.

Román Chameleoni je zasazen do prostředí pohnutých událostí, které prožíval náš národ v letech 1945 až 1989. Sleduje příběhy tří hrdinů, kteří žijí svůj zdánlivě obyčejný život, naprosto odlišný od ostatních, a přesto se jejich osudy proplétají, často i na místech, kde bychom to neočekávali. Autor tak vytváří komplexní obraz skoro zapomenutých časů, jejichž drsnost je pro současné čtenáře, neznající dřívější poměry v mnoha ohledech nepředstavitelná. Každý z hrdinů čelí svým životním výzvám jiným způsobem – někdo se jim trpně poddává, ostatní mají snahu uchopit svou šanci s vědomím, že musí obětovat své morální hodnoty, aby využili dobu, ve které právě žijí. Do osudu našich hrdinů však opakovaně a bez lítosti vstupují zlomové okamžiky našich dějin, které mohou veškeré úsilí proměnit v prach a sny obrátit v popel.

On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles' life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles' birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap.

Co nás nutí k tomu, abychom si znovu a znovu nazouvali boty a vybíhali ze svých domovů, navzdory bolesti, nepřízni počasí nebo nedostatku času? Abychom se jen tak rozeběhli ze svahu, napříč loukou, vyběhli na kopec nebo se pokusili co nejrychleji oběhnout blok domů? Jan Havlíček v esejích, recenzích a poznámkách původně psaných pro běžecký časopis B žádnou definitivní odpověď nedává. Ukazuje však, jakým způsobem je běh součástí našich životů, jak nám umožňuje postavit se věcem, kterým nelze utéct, a jak se díky běhu dostáváme do kontaktu s tím, co nás přesahuje. A to je mnohem víc, než bychom si při dvanáctiminutovce v hodině tělesné výchovy mysleli.

ANEBO si interprety můžete střídat po kapitolách či jakkoli jinak. Je to jen na Vás. VYBERTE SI! Jeden byt, dva cizí lidé. Domov nového páru, anebo přechodná zastávka na křižovatce jejich životních cest? Táborská garsonka se ocitne ve střídavé péči nesourodé dvojice mladých lidí, které propojila náhoda, vzájemná potřeba a snad i láska. Zatímco Danielovi umírá otec, k němuž chová rozporuplné city, Zuzana odešla od partnera, s nímž má komplikovaný vztah. On je vystudovaný sociolog, ze kterého k tátovu zklamání nevyrostl průbojný grázl, ona je vášnivá čtenářka, jež se nedokáže úplně odstřihnout od předešlých vztahů. Oba spojí péče o nemocného starce, vyhlížejícího smrt v opuštěné vile, kde každá rozpačitá návštěva může rychle nabrat nečekaný směr. Unese jejich křehké pouto tíhu tolika odlišností a závazků? A proč nás vůbec život spojuje s lidmi, s nimiž nemáme nic společného, a odděluje nás od lidí, které jsme si svobodně vybrali?Co se stane, když se do knihy přistěhuje druhý autor?
