eBook: When Leopold Pospíšil first arrived in New Guinea in 1954 to investigate the legal systems of the local tribes, he was warned about the Kapauku who reputedly had no laws. Dubious that any society could exist without laws, Pospíšil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku. Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among the Kapauku, Pospíšil discovers that the supposedly primitive society possesses laws, rules, and social structures that are as sophisticated as they are logical. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and fled the Communist regime, Pospíšil has little patience for the notion that so-called advanced civilizations are superior to the ‘stone age’ society in which he now lives. On the basis of his research and experiences among the Kapauku – he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 – Pospíšil pioneered in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on the Kapauku law. As Jaroslav Jiřík and Martin Soukup write in their afterword, however, “His three previously published works are about the Kapauku; this one is about the anthropologist among the Kapauku.” The memoir is filled with charming anecdotes and thrilling stories of trials, travels, and war – told with humor and humility—and accompanied by a wealth of the author’s personal photos from the time.

eBook: Jak už jsme u Juliana Barnese zvyklí, v jeho textech se elegantně propojuje román a esej. V tomto prozaickém díle jde o přátelský vztah mezi neúspěšným hercem a starší učitelkou Elizabeth Finchovou, která mu po své smrti zanechá knihovnu i poněkud záhadné osobní zápisky. Esejistická část se týká života Juliana Apostaty, římského císaře, který se pokusil zvrátit křesťanský vývoj své říše. Jakkoli pro Elizabeth Finchovou platí to, co pro předcházející autorova díla, dost možná je román jeho nejhlubším i nejradikálnějším textem, pokud jde o úvahy o historii a křesťanství či o koncepci alternativních dějin. Navíc jde o román vysoce aktuální, neboť v sobě odráží pochybnosti a roztříštěnost současného světa.
