temnota bram stoker edward frederic benson audiokniha

Audiokniha: Po devíti krocích jsme dospěli ke konci – přímo do srdce Temnoty. A je příznačné, že nás vítá ikonický autor z Irska jménem Bram Stoker. A s Drákulou po boku. Tedy – ne tak docela. Drakulův host je jedna z povídek, které vydala vdova po něm až po jeho smrti. A ač v názvu figuruje jméno knížete temnot, osobně se vlastně na scéně vůbec neobjeví. Ani Jonathan Harker, tedy skutečný host, nedostává prostor. Tato povídka představuje vlastně úvod do románu Drákula. Jde o zlehka přepracovanou verzi jedné z kapitol známého románu, která musela být obětována během přípravy Drákuly k tisku. Úplně poslední temnou povídkou je Komnata ve věži, kterou napsal Angličan Edward Frederic Benson. Podivná, tíživá atmosféra na vás dýchne hned na začátku a postupně se umocňuje – přes vracející se noční můry až k hrůznému závěru. Obě povídky čte nezapomenutelným způsobem Petr Šmíd.

Audiokniha: Nine steps have led us to the final stage – right into the heart of the Darkness. Aptly enough, the iconic author from Ireland is on the doorstep; Bram Stoker – and with his Dracula to boot. Well, wait a second – not exactly, to be honest. Dracula’s Guest is one of the stories published only after Stoker’s death, and even though Dracula is in the title, he will not make it into the story. Interestingly enough, Jonathan Harker, the actual guest – also does not appear. This short story is actually an original introduction to Dracula. It is a slightly altered version of a chapter of the novel that was discarded during preparations for print. The final story is The Room in the Tower, by Edward Frederic Benson. Strange, unsettling atmosphere is present right from the beginning, and it intensifies via recurrent nightmares – right up to the shocking climax of the final scene. As in all previous audiobooks, actors’ performances and music make for a perfect mix, combining to take you on the horror ride promised by the cover.

Audiokniha: The ninth step into the Darkness is called Love from the Dark Side, and it brings us to the climax of the series – the Darkness itself. It features The Tenant of the Cedars by Mary Elizabeth Penn – a story about the vengeance of the dead. Little is known of the author other than the fact that she was published in magazines in the late Victorian era. Her stories were long forgotten until being rediscovered in 1999 – over 100 years since the last of them was published in 1897. On the other hand, Bram Stoker (author of the famed novel, Dracula) is a legend in the horror world. This collection features Stoker’s short story, A Dream of Red Hands. The theme is crime and punishment, seasoned with a hint of redemption. Once again – excellent voices, stunning music, and great graphical design result in an exquisite mixture of emotions.

Audiokniha: The third step into the Darkness is called Sounds in the Dark. It begins with a short story written in 1921 by American master horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft called The Music of Erich Zann. The author himself considered the story to be one of his masterpieces, and it is often deservedly included in various horror-story collections. The second short story was written by Bram Stoker. Indeed, THAT Stoker who wrote the epistolary novel Dracula – the very first novel that dealt with a vampire legend. The Judge’s House (written in 1914) completes the collection, and its strongest point is building the atmosphere of fear, which is underlined by excellent voices and music.

Audiokniha: Devátý krok k temnotě s názvem O lásce a dalších citech nás přenese do finále celé série – do samotné temnoty. Setkáváme se v něm s Nájemnicí chaty pod cedry autorky Mary Elizabeth Pennové – v příběhu, který se točí okolo msty ze záhrobí. O autorce je známo velmi málo, prakticky jen to, že publikovala v časopisech v pozdním Viktoriánském období a že její příběhy upadly v zapomnění záhy po zveřejnění. Její duchařské povídky byly znovu objeveny až v roce 1999, tedy více než sto let poté, kdy byla zveřejněna poslední z nich (1897). V Nájemnici chaty pod cedry vystupují Petr Šmíd, William Valerián, Pavel Nový a Jiří Dvořák. To Bram Stoker je o poznání známější figurou hororového žánru. Ano, právě on je autorem proslaveného románu v dopisech s názvem Drákula. Zde přichází se Snem o rudých rukou, kde rozpracovává nesmrtelné téma zločinu a trestu a přidává ještě špetku navíc – vykoupení. Krátký, leč hutný Sen o rudých rukou (v dřívějším překladu také Sen o červených rukách) čte Petr Šmíd.

Audiokniha: The sixth step into the Darkness is called Longing, and it features a single short story; a very distinctive one indeed. It is a relatively short masterpiece by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the author who is a pillar of our series. The Outsider is one of his most often published short stories, and it has proven to be very popular with both readers and listeners. Written in 1921, it was published five years later in Weird Tales magazine (April 1926). Lovecraft himself thought that he came near to Poe’s style in this story (the first paragraphs are an echo of Berenice, by E. A. Poe, and the inspiration of, The Masque of Red Death is also pretty clear). This short story is probably the most elaborate story by Lovecraft, with echoes of his gurus and multifaceted references. The atmosphere is emphasized by actors’ performances, music, and the graphics on the cover.

Audiokniha: The fifth step into the Darkness is called Planes of Existence, and it is a solo ride by the feature author of the whole series in three parts. In them, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, practically unread and unknown during his life, but a source of inspiration after his death thanks to friends and devoted fans, deals with the clash of two worlds – the reality and “beyond”. Beyond the Wall of Sleep is a short story from 1919 based on the innovative (at that time) idea of using psychology for explaining real-life issues. Incidentally, a near namesake song (Behind the Wall of Sleep) appeared on the debut album of Black Sabbath, and it should come as no surprise that it was inspired by this short story. The second story, From Beyond (written in 1920, published in 1934), hovers around the theme of a mad scientist willing to peek beyond reality. It inspired a few films, songs by death-metal bands, and it even features in the PC game, Half-Life. The last story of the trio is The Transition of Juan Romero, from 1919, originally written for a limited circle of friends and published after Lovecraft’s death. The feature “character” is a mysterious evil encountered in an ancient ritual to the Mexican deity, Huitzilopochtli. All three short stories are dense with dramatic build-up, thanks to superb performances by the actors and highly atmospheric music. Original graphics on the cover complete the package.

The stunning Dracula special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. As fledgling English lawyer Jonathan Harker treks into the Carpathian Mountains to complete a real estate transaction, frightened peasants warn him of horrible dangers that await him. Harker, terrified by eerie events along the way, finally meets his client, Count Dracula, a tall, gaunt old man with a surprisingly powerful handshake. Harker soon realizes that he is a prisoner in Dracula #39;s sumptuously furnished castle—a castle strangely devoid of mirrors. Later, as fifty coffin-sized boxes are brought into the castle in preparation for Dracula #39;s departure, Harker knows that the count plans to do more in London than see the sights—and he fears that the rational modern world is ill-equipped to recognize, let alone defeat, the count. First published in 1897, Dracula by Bram Stoker has become a seminal work in the genre of Gothic horror and the foundation of modern vampire mythology. The novel is set largely in England and Transylvania, weaving a chilling narrative through the experiences of its characters as they encounter Count Dracula, whose ambitions to spread his undead curse create a battle for survival. Stoker #39;s novel explores themes of superstition versus science, modernity confronting ancient evils, and the complex interplay of sexuality, fear, and power. The character of Dracula embodies the timeless fear of the unknown and the other, making the novel a profound commentary on the anxieties of Stoker’s time—fears of societal infiltration and moral decay. Dracula resonates with contemporary audiences for its deep psychological undercurrents and as a critique of invasion and cultural contamination. The enduring legacy of Dracula in popular culture is seen in the myriad adaptations and the continued fascination with vampire lore, reflecting ongoing debates about otherness and identity in today’s globalized world.

Román, jenž do světové literatury uvedl notoricky slavnou postavu upíra hraběte Drákuly, vypráví o Drákulových snahách přesunout se z domovské Transylvánie do viktoriánského Londýna – upír baží po nové krvi a každá jeho oběť musí nevyhnutelně rozšířit řady nemrtvých. Hraběti se postaví malá skupina přátel pod vedením slovutného profesora Abrahama Van Helsinga.Drákula bývá řazen pod mnoho různých žánrů včetně upírské literatury, hororu, gotického románu a takzvané invazní literatury. Román se dotýká řady témat, například role žen ve viktoriánské společnosti, sexuálních konvencí, imigrace, kolonialismu a postkolonialismu.Stoker sice postavu upíra nevymyslel, ale nepochybně mu vtiskl jeho moderní podobu a jeho kultovní román se dočkat bezpočtu divadelních, filmových a televizních adaptací.

„Temné síly představují jeden z největších objevů v dlouhé historii draculovského příběhu...“ píše ve své předmluvě John E.

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion. Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone with a sort of phosphorescence. Beyond the genre-defining influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short story form. This new collection of the author’s tales represents his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the hallucinatory and dreamlike in ‘The Shadow Builder’ and ‘In the Valley of the Shadow’ to the more overtly horrifying in the mini- masterpieces of ‘The Judge’s House’ and ‘The Burial of the Rats’. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the darkly comic ‘Old Hoggen: A Mystery’ and the morbid fairy tale ‘The Castle of the King’ to reflect the full brilliance of the legendary writer.

Prízrak tajomnej ženy v pohrebnom rubáši unášaný vlnami Jadranského mora v plavidle podobnom truhle... Takýmto lákavým obrázkom nás privíta Bram Stoker, autor nesmrteľného Draculu, vo svojom predposlednom románe z roku 1909. Na čitateľa prvého slovenského prekladu tohto diela však čakajú aj iné prekvapenia a napokon zistí, že legendárny autor sa na staré kolená rozhodol namiešať koktejl z viacerých žánrov. Dáma v rubáši totiž kombinuje prvky hororu, romanticko-dobrodružného príbehu, verneovsky ladenej sci-fi aj politickej utópie. Vydajme sa teda na tajomný hrad Vissarion v Modrých horách a do jeho okolia, kde na hrdinu príbehu, Ruperta Sent Legera, čakajú mnohé nástrahy, pozemné, vzdušné i morské súboje so ľstivými nepriateľmi, ale najmä osudové stretnutie. Stretnutie s uhrančivou dámou v rubáši, ktoré navždy zmení nielen jeho život, ale aj život obyvateľov Modrých hôr a celého Balkánu.

Audiokniha: Než město pohřbil popel Vesuvu… Roku 79 našeho letopočtu pohřbila erupce sopky Vesuv antické město Pompeje. Roku 1834 napsal o této tragické události lord Edward George Bulwer Lytton strhující historický román. Že jsou Pompeje antické město, které roku 79 našeho letopočtu pohřbila erupce sopky Vesuv, si ze školy pamatuje skoro každý. Ale že o této tragické události napsal roku 1834 lord Edward George Bulwer Lytton strhující historický román, to už ví málokdo. Lyttonův román je skvělým způsobem, jak se o městě, které bylo bez nadsázky miniaturou tehdejší civilizace, dozvědět více. Příběh obyvatel Pompejí, jejich běžné radosti a starosti, boje o lásku, majetek, u otroků a gladiátorů i o holé přežití, je strhující. Kromě napínavé dějové linky, především milostného trojúhelníku, který představuje bohatý patricij Glaucus, krásná Iona a zákeřný kněz Arbaces, tu vyrůstá obraz Pompejí v jejich někdejší nádheře a živosti. Autor, který Pompeje několikrát navštívil, podrobně popisuje, jak vypadaly tamější domy, ulice, chrámy a amfiteátry. Popisy jsou tak dokonalé, že kniha dnes může sloužit jako průvodce po městě.

Audiokniha: Dokážete zvýšit efektivnost vašeho myšlení? Naučte se efektivně myslet a používat metodu laterárního myšlení. Audiokniha Šest klobouků načtená Janem Faltýnkem vám představí stejnojmennou metodu světově uznávaného Edwarda de Bona. Teorie šesti klobouků je využívána v podnikání, ve světových vzdělávacích systémech i v managementu. Kniha je souborem technik tvůrčího a paralelního myšlení, které poskytují jednoduchý náhled pro zkoumání nápadů a problémů prostřednictvím myšlení z různých perspektiv. “Myšlení ztěžuje především chaos. Snažíme se dělat příliš mnoho věcí najednou. Ze všech stran se na nás valí informace, zaplavují nás emoce, ale přitom musíme logicky myslet, nevzdávat se naděje a tvořivě řešit, na co nám síly stačí. Jako bychom žonglovali s příliš mnoha míčky najednou.” Šest barevných klobouků v praxi Prvního vydání se kniha Šest klobouků dočkala roku 1985 a během let se stala mnohamilionovým bestsellerem. Říkáte si, v čem tedy spočívá kouzlo této metody? Je to jednodušší, než si myslíte. Technika je založená na různých způsobech myšlení. Myšlenkou je, že si účastníci během diskuze nasazují různé barvy klobouků a dle toho se k danému problému budou muset vyjádřit z určené perspektivy. To účastníky přiměje přemýšlet různými způsoby, ale i vyjadřovat názory zpod bezpečí klobouku, které by jindy mohly zůstat nevyřčené. Jaké mají jednotlivé klobouky vlastnosti? Bílý klobouk zastupuje objektivní fakta a čísla. Červený klobouk představuje emocionální přístup. Černý klobouk mapuje negativní aspekty a argumenty, proč to či ono není možné. Žlutý klobouk je optimistický, vyjadřuje naději a pozitivní myšlení. Zelený klobouk symbolizuje tvořivost a nové myšlenky. Modrý klobouk se zabývá řízením a organizací myšlenkových procesů. Díky audioknize se naučíte • Změnit svůj způsob práce a interakce • Efektivněji uvažovat, plánovat a rozhodovat • Proměnit schůzky tak, aby pokaždé přinesly rychlé a směrodatné výsledky • Osvobodit své myšlení od zažitých reakcí
