No understanding of Chinese civilization is possible without a grasp of Taoism, the philosophy that has shaped not just Chinese spirituality but also art, science and politics. And it was in the Tao Te Ching, written around 300BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered. This short, wise but very humble book went on to influence on philosophy, religion and politics. In a compellingly simple rhetorical style the book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and free society of institutions that promote greed. This dual-language edition of Tao Te Ching presents the original Chinese characters with a new translation on the facing page, and is illustrated throughout to make an attractive gift edition in traditional Chinese hand binding. With a new introduction that discusses the questioned authorship of the text and editorial notes, all 81 brief chapters are included, ranging from advice for politicians to wise words for the everyday person. Of immense influence across millennia, Tao Te Ching Illustrated is a classic text richly deserving this exquisite edition.

From the bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh, a uniquely authentic translation of the enduring Tao Te Ching based on the meanings of the ancient Chinese characters in use when the Taoist classic was written From Benjamin Hoff, the author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies, comes a new translation of the Tao Te Ching. The original author (or authors, as Hoff makes the provocative claim that there may have been more than one) streamlined the folk religion of China down to its foundation and rebuilt it as a man-in-nature philosophy, incorporating his advanced spiritual, philosophical, social, and political ideas. Ever since its creation, the Tao Te Ching has stood alone among the world's writings. There was nothing like it before it appeared, and there is still nothing like it now. Unlike a good deal of Chinese writing, old and new, the Tao Te Ching makes no reference to specific individuals or events, whether of the then-past or then-present. It is not historical, nor classical; its world is the world of now. Laboring over the ancient text for seven years, Hoff tackled this project by following the same principles he learned while employed by a master restorer of valuable but damaged antique objects: Thoroughly research the history of the object; remove all misguided, historically incorrect alterations and repairs; patch and fill where necessary; match the new work to the old so seamlessly that no one will detect a difference in treatment; honor the materials and its design; and honor the tradition that has formed around the object over the years. This unique interpretation of the Tao Te Ching shows what is possible when a translator truly partners themselves with someone of another time, another place, and another language.

Elektronická kniha - autor Květoslav Minařík, 160 stran Filozofické učení mudrce Lao-c’ je podle některých pramenů staré přibližně dva a půl tisíce let a bývá pokládáno za málo srozumitelné nebo neaktuální. Květoslav Minařík však Lao-c’ pokládá za mudrce, který popisuje svět a upozorňuje na to, co jej dělá špatným nebo dobrým. Byly mu zřejmé vnitřní příčiny zla, jímž je svět postihován, a věděl, že jen dobro a nesobeckost je může ze světa odstranit. Své poselství tento staročínský mudrc adresuje všem lidem. Květoslav Minařík jeho učení porozuměl přes hranice věků a jiné civilizace i nedokonalého překladu proto, že sám dosáhl souhlasných duchovních zkušeností. Díky tomu ve svých komentářích činí prastaré učení Lao-c’ srozumitelným pro své současníky jako vysoce aktuální výzvu. Druhé přepracované vydání. Detaily knihy: Autor: Květoslav Minařík Rok vydání: 0 ISBN: 978-80-852-0227-4 Počet stran: 160

Audiokniha MP3 Lao C´, čte Taťána Fischerová, Milan Friedl Lao-c', Starý mistr, žil asi v letech 570 až 490 př. n. l. Historik S'-ma Čchien o něm napsal: "Lao-c' pěstoval cestu (tao) a její sílu (te). Učil, že člověk se má snažit skrýt a zůstat beze jména. Žil po dlouhá léta v království Čou. Když viděl, jak dynastie upadá, opustil zemi... Nikdo neví, kde skončil své dny... Lao-c' byl mudrc, který toužil žít ve skrytosti." Navzdory tomu je snad jen málokterý čínský mudrc je tak dobře znám jako tento legendární zakladatel taoismu. Jeho Tao te ťing patří více než dva tisíce let k hlavním zdrojům čínského myšlení a je i nejčastěji překládaným čínským textem do západních jazyků. V současnosti je rovněž považován za jedno z klíčových děl světové filosofie, které v budoucnu pravděpodobně přinese ještě mnoho nových podnětů.

Již více než dva a půl tisíc let je Tao-te-ťing, základní spis laoismu a taoismu, považován za jeden z největších pokladů světa. Lao-c', jehož jméno znamená "staré dítě", napsal verše, které jsou pro některé lidi těžko pochopitelné, jiné uvádějí v úžas, avšak v každém případě jsou pro lidstvo požehnáním. Taoističtí mistři Mantak Chia a Tao Chuang objasňují čtenářům kořeny této filozofie i způsob života dávné Číny. Ačkoli je text Tao-te-ťing už celá staletí předáván z generace na generaci v literární formě, jeho esenciální podstatu lze pochopit pouze prostřednictvím probuzeného srdce - skrze opravdovou integraci těla a mysli. Tomu napomáhá pronikavý vhled autorů i cvičení, která v knize předkládají. Mantak Chia a Tao Chuang řádek po řádku analyzují Lao-c'eho učení a nabízejí čtenářům meditace, výklady a techniky kultivace energie, které osvětlují pravý význam tohoto starodávného textu.

Mali, in North Africa, is home to the largest building made out of clay; the structure only took one year to complete. For the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle, 465 tons of marble were hefted to the Alps to the building site. The Atomium in Brussels boasts the longest escalators in Europe. The largest mosque in the world is as big as 56 football fields. The Illustrated Atlas of Architecture and Marvelous Monuments presents a world of breathtaking buildings and their incredible stories through illustrated maps and engaging factsheets. Sarah Tavernier and Alexandre Verhille have already deftly shown with Legendary Routes of the World that they are experts in showcasing the biggest and the best. Now, for The Illustrated Atlas of Architecture and Marvelous Monuments, they researched the longest bridges, tallest towers, the most impressive cultural sites, and plenty of curiosities. Exciting facts are woven together with a myriad of architectural styles; the material feats are skillfully and artfully placed upon bold maps, situating the constructions within a geographic context. Alexandre Verhille illustrates maps for a variety of international newspapers and magazines. He draws inspiration from novelists such as Jack Kerouac and Jack London and comicbook writers in the vein of Hugo Pratt. When he is not working on new maps, he plans adventures around the world and illustrates children’s and travel books. Sarah Tavernier holds a degree from the European School of Arts and Materials and works in the fields of architecture and illustration. Together with Alexandre Verhille, she crafted the pop-up book Legendary Routes of the World.

Kniha - autor Brene Brown, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. In a powerful new vision Dr. Brene Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - fromrevealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees.This...

eBook: Filozofické učení mudrce Lao-c’ je podle některých pramenů staré přibližně dva a půl tisíce let a bývá pokládáno za málo srozumitelné nebo neaktuální. Květoslav Minařík však Lao-c’ pokládá za mudrce, který popisuje svět a upozorňuje na to, co jej dělá špatným nebo dobrým. Byly mu zřejmé vnitřní příčiny zla, jímž je svět postihován, a věděl, že jen dobro a nesobeckost je může ze světa odstranit. Své poselství tento staročínský mudrc adresuje všem lidem. Květoslav Minařík jeho učení porozuměl přes hranice věků a jiné civilizace i nedokonalého překladu proto, že sám dosáhl souhlasných duchovních zkušeností. Díky tomu ve svých komentářích činí prastaré učení Lao-c’ srozumitelným pro své současníky jako vysoce aktuální výzvu. Druhé přepracované vydání.

Kniha - 496 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná From the New York Times bestselling author comes the astonishingly frank and intimate story of Silicon Valley's dominant venture-capital firms-and how their strategies and fates have shaped the path of innovation and the global economy Innovations rarely come from experts. Elon Musk was not an electric car person before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world. In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated...
