Elektronická kniha - autor Jan Bauer, 90 stran Spisovatel Jan Bauer, který napsal už více jak sto knih s převážně historickou tématikou, předkládá čtenářům zajímavé příběhy dvou velkých Čechů. Jeden, ten první, T. G. Masaryk, vytvořil tento stát na demokratických základech a Václav Havel nám zase demokracii vrátil. Autor oba tyto velikány srovnává jako politiky, spisovatele, filozofy, vlastence, ale ukazuje, jaký měli například vztah ke Slovensku, k náboženství, k ženám i v čem ve vysokých funkcích selhali. Dokládá, že je naším štěstím, že zformovali tento stát, Československou republiku a po rozdělení Českou republiku. Můžeme být na ně hrdí, neboť do základů naší státnosti vložili to nejcennější – svobodu a demokracii.

Kniha - autor Karel Engliš, 64 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Vzpomínky Karla Engliše nás provází obdobím od roku 1900, kdy se autor poprvé s T. G. Masarykem setkal, do roku 1937, ve kterém Masaryk zemřel. S prvním prezidentem Československé republiky prožil Engliš vrcholnou etapu svého života jako vědec i národohospodář. Zasloužil se o založení Masarykovy univerzity, stal se jejím prvním rektorem, šestkrát byl Masarykem jmenován ministrem financí a v roce 1934 guvernérem Národní banky Československé. Vztah těchto osobností byl mimořádný, provázela jej vzájemná úcta a respekt. Doklad mimořádného vztahu těchto pozoruhodných osobností uchovává Masarykova univerzita v podobě insignií – medaile a rektorského řetězu.

Já ještě doplním citátem z Talmudu: "Nesuďte člověka za jeho činy, pokud jste nebyli na jeho místě." Oba tyto výroky mě provázejí celá desetiletí. Nutí mě často pochybovat, zvažovat. Nutí mě k tomu, abych se zas a znovu pokoušel vcítit do myšlení a uvažování lidí, nositelů příběhů, které mě kdy zaujaly. Ať už jde o člověka, který se dopustil zločinu či naopak v některém okamžiku projevil statečnost a zodpovědnost. Miluji život. Také proto, že mi dává možnost potkávat lidi s nevšedními příběhy, psát o nich nebo natáčet rozhlasové a televizní dokumenty. Některé z těchto neobyčejných příběhů vám nyní předkládám.

Kniha poskytuje souhrnný pohled na vztah Tomáše Masaryka k Židům a židovské otázce v českém i evropském kontextu a také na poměr významných židovských osobností k Československu a k Masarykovi zvláště. Pokouší se zachytit vývoj a proměny Masarykových názorů na Židy a židovství od raného mládí a popsat klíčové události, které utvářely Masarykovy postoje. Práce je rozdělena do deseti kapitol, sledujících Masarykovo mládí a studia ve Vídni, jeho působení do první světové války (včetně hilsneriády), Masarykův postoj k marxismu a jeho názory na řešení sociální otázky, jeho vztah ke křesťanství a judaismu. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována postavení Židů v českých zemích od dob josefínských reforem a poměru T. G. Masaryka k sionistickému hnutí, stejně jako k českožidovskému hnutí a problému asimilace vůbec. Závěrečné kapitoly se věnují situaci Židů v první republice, prezidentově cestě do Palestiny v roce 1927 a v přehledu také zájmu T. G. Masaryka o některé významné židovské osobnosti, jakož i názory těchto učenců a politiků na Masaryka a jeho působení v průběhu několika desetiletí.

The phenomenal #1 Chinese bestseller, with over 3 million copies sold. This is a searing exploration of what makes a hero: a literary masterpiece, available in the English language for the very first time.The boy grows up in a small village in south China listening to stories about the Colonel: some say he was a legendary army doctor during the war, some say he was a traitor to the Party, still others say he is a wicked sex machine. The stories are bawdy and mesmerizing, always larger than life.Yet in reality, the Colonel is just a middle-aged man who loves his cat. And why on earth does everyone call him 'the Eunuch'?From these disparate sources, the boy tries to piece together who the Colonel really is, just as he himself grows up in a rapidly changing China. It is not until many years later, when the boy also becomes a middle-aged man, that he would look back and finally solve the puzzle.The Colonel and the Eunuch is Mai Jia's first new novel in eight years and his most ambitious work to date. An exciting departure from spy thrillers, this is a coming-of-age story, a family saga, as well as a searing exploration of what makes a hero. The Colonel is Mai Jia's singular creation: an almost mythic figure shrouded in the tragedy of war and history, whose story will move even the most stone-hearted to tears.

A complex, intense American novel of family from the winner of the Nobel Prize for LiteratureWith an introduction by Richard HughesEver since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, the novel explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart, this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it.What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'

“What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?” In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue. In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead. And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they’ve met before. Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them. As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.

The remarkable true story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and the two men in war-torn Japan whose lives he changed forever. On the 14th of August 1941, a Polish priest named Maximilian Maria Kolbe was murdered in Auschwitz. Kolbe's life had been remarkable.Fiercely intelligent and driven, he founded a movement of Catholicism and spent several years in Nagasaki, ministering to the 'hidden Christians' who had emerged after centuries of oppression. A Polish nationalist as well as a priest, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and ran Poland's largest publishing operation, drawing the wrath of the Nazis. His death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner.It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men. Tomei Ozaki was just seventeen when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, destroying his home and his family. Masatoshi Asari worked on a farm in Hokkaido during the war and was haunted by the inhumane treatment of prisoners in a nearby camp.Forged in the crucible of an unforgiving war, both men drew inspiration from Kolbe's sacrifice, dedicating their lives to humanity and justice. Ozaki followed in his footsteps and became a friar. Asari created cherry trees as peace offerings.In The Martyr and the Red Kimono, award-winning author Naoko Abe weaves together a deeply moving and inspirational true story of resistance, sacrifice, guilt and atonement.

Kniha - anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In this powerful collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky exposes the problems of our world today, as we stand in this period of monumental change, preparing for a more hopeful tomorrow. 'For the left, elections are a brief interlude in a life of real politics, a moment to ask whether it's worth taking time off to vote . . . Then back to work. The work will be to move forward to construct the better world that is within reach.' He sheds light into the phenomenon of right-wing populism, and exposes the catastrophic nature and impact of authoritarian policies on people, the environment and the planet as a whole.

eBook: While Alfred North Whitehead did not dedicate any books or articles to aesthetics specifically, aesthetic motifs permeate his entire philosophical opus. Despite this, aestheticians have devoted little attention to Whitehead; most attempts to reconstruct Whitehead’s aesthetics have come from process philosophers, and even in that context aesthetics has never occupied a central position. In this book, four scholars of aesthetics provide another angle from which Whiteheadian aesthetics might be reconstructed. Paying special attention to the notion of aesthetic experience, the authors analyze abstraction versus concreteness, immediacy vs. mediation, and aesthetic contextualism vs. aesthetic isolationism. For their interpretation of Whiteheadian aesthetics, the concepts of creativity and rhythm are crucial. Using these concepts, the book interprets the motif of the processes by which experience is harmonized, the sensation of the quality of the whole, and directedness towards novelty. The first chapter introduces Whitehead’s philosophical method of descriptive generalization. This method assumes that every philosophical system is based on a particular entry point. We show that for Whitehead this entry point was aesthetics. Chapter Two compares Whitehead and Dewey’s philosophies to show that both viewed aesthetic experience in terms of complex rhythms; this helps us better understand the differences and the continuities between everyday experience and art. Chapter Three compares Whitehead’s ideas with those of Henri Bergson, showing the way art reveals the form of immediate experience and how the aesthetic experience of art relates to truth. The final chapter details the processes that constitute aesthetic experience in a narrower sense, analyzing aesthetic experience from the perspective of the types of abstractive processes it involves and the complex types of experience it produces.
