A Jaká dobrodružství čekají na malou Wendy, Johna a Míšu, když jednou v noci nepozorovaně uletí rodičům otevřeným oknem?

Narodil se v městečku Kirriemuir v chudé tkalcovské rodině, kde vyrůstal spolu s devíti sourozenci. Studoval na Edinburské univerzitě, kde se spolužáky Arthurem Conanem Doylem a Robertem Louisem Stevensonem vydával vysokoškolský časopis. Po dokončení studia pracoval jako divadelní kritik a novinář nejprve v Nottinghamu a později v Londýně. Petr Pan vznikl původně jako divadelní hra nazvaná Petr Pan aneb o chlapci, který nechtěl vyrůst, jež byla poprvé uvedena roku 1904 v Londýně. Po mnoha úspěšných představeních dal J. M. Barrie v roce 1911 své divadelní hře knižní podobu pod názvem Petr a Wendy. O rok později odhalili v londýnském Kensingtonském parku Petru Panovi sochu. V roce 1913 byl J. M. Barrie povýšen do šlechtického stavu a v roce 1922 obdržel Řád za zásluhy. Před svou smrtí věnoval veškerá práva na díla o Petru Panovi londýnské dětské nemocnici v Great Ormond Street, která je užívá dodnes. Lukáš Hlavica (1965) Je absolventem herectví na pražské DAMU, kde posledních dvacet let působí jako pedagog. Kromě herectví a výuky se úspěšně věnuje divadelní i rozhlasové režii.

J. M. Barrie s fantasy drama Dear Brutus from 1917 depicts the characters transition through alternate universes and eventual return to the real world. The phrase The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves is taken from Shakespeare s Julius Caesar and is referenced in the title. Between 17 October 1917 and 24 August 1918, the drama was presented at Wyndham s Theatre in the West End for 363 performances. The play s central question is whether people might benefit from living their lives over again and making new decisions. The characters are unhappy spouses who all believe their lives have gone in the wrong direction. The group is escorted to the residence of an elderly man with the Shakespearean name Lob, who is referred to as all that is left of Merry England. The philanderer is found trying a new conquest, much to the amusement of his wife and his mistress; an elderly man who had yearned for a second youth proposes again to his faithful spouse; the artist and his wife are reconciled; and the dream child of Act 2 has almost become real to both of them and lives on in their hearts.

J. M. Barrie s book My Lady Nicotine is about a man s first love. The love, as implied by the title, is not for a lady but rather for tobacco, and more specifically for a particular mix of tobacco. The story mostly centers on his youthful years, when he would get together with his buddies to smoke his Arcadia tobacco blend, which they regarded as the pinnacle of all tobacco. In many ways, the story is less about tobacco and more about Victorian England s ideologies and the ways in which a group of men might come together to talk and have fun. The Arcadia blend may be what binds the buddies together, but most of the narrative focuses on their activities or sights when they are together. Of fact, this book and the same author s Little White Bird have a lot in common stylistically. Both stories revolve around single bachelors who spend a lot of time lazing around with close friends who also indulge in the same vices while being looked after by subpar individuals who are just suitable for serving. The aspects of his nephew s visit are uncannily identical to the games he used to play with his stepchildren.

The definitive English translation of the celebrated story collection regarded as a landmark of Norwegian literature and culture-now in paperback The extraordinary folktales collected by Peter Christen AsbjØrnsen and JØrgen Moe began appearing in Norway in 1841. Over the next two decades the publication of subsequent editions under the title Norske folkeeventyr made the names AsbjØrnsen and Moe synonymous with Norwegian storytelling traditions. Tiina Nunnallyâ ™s vivid translation of their monumental collection is the first new English translation in more than 150 years-and the first ever to include all sixty original tales. Magic and myth inhabit these pages in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. The clever and fearless boy Ash Lad often takes center stage as he ingeniously breaks spells and defeats enemies to win half the kingdom. These stories, set in Norwayâ ™s majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by AsbjØrnsen and Moe-now translated into an English that is as finely tuned to the modern ear as it is true to the original Norwegian. Included here-for the very first time in English-are AsbjØrnsen and Moeâ ™s Forewords and Introductions to the early Norwegian editions of the tales. AsbjØrnsen gives us an intriguing glimpse into the actual collection process and describes how the stories were initially received, both in Norway and abroad. Equally fascinating are Moeâ ™s views on how central characters might be interpreted and his notes on the regions where each story was originally collected. Nunnallyâ ™s informative Translatorâ ™s Note places the tales in a biographical, historical, and literary context for the twenty-first century. The Norwegian folktales of AsbjØrnsen and Moe are timeless stories that will entertain, startle, and enthrall readers of all ages. Â

Peter Bagge is not only one of the primary architects of the alternative comics scene that exploded in the 1980s and 1990s (alongside peers including Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, and Daniel Clowes), but also someone who helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of an entire youth movement. His comic book series, Hate, chronicled the exploits of twentysomething Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era (and eventually beyond). Bagge s style became a part of the Gen X zeitgeist and Hate became the best-selling alternative comic of its era, with Bagge s illustrations gracing countless album and magazine covers as well. The Complete Hate Volume 2 collects Hate issues 16 thru 30 (1994-1998), which comprise the second major arc of the series - the full-colour Jersey suburbs era! With his rock-impresario career in tatters, his friends dispersed, and his career opportunities at zero, Buddy returns with his tail between his legs (and his neurotic girlfriend Lisa by his side) to his native New Jersey to be closer to family (his sister now a harassed mom, his brother still pretty much a psycho, and his parents?well, wait and see). Also included in this volume is the shocking final fate of the exuberant Stinky -- a story that caused jaws to drop in unison all around the world when it was originally released -- and the riotous tale of Lisa s brief conversion to lesbianism and subsequent breakup with Buddy. Part screwball comedy, part soap opera, part loose autobiography, Hate is an enduring chronicle of the 1990s as well as riotously relatable to anyone bumbling through their twenties.

The current publication by author Vojtěch Pokorný takes as its subject not only the history of the oldest Christian sacred building in the Prague neighbourhood of Dejvice, but equally the past of the locality itself, starting from its first known settlement in late Neolithic times up to the present. Using a wide range of literature and sources, the author presents a truthful account of the oft-mythicised tales of the earliest traces of human presence in Upper Šárka and the founding of the church consecrated to St. Matthew, and in chronological succession relates the events transpiring there across the following centuries. Research into archival materials and other sources provided the basis for an imposing text that casts light on a history now nearly forgotten. The author unfolds previously neglected topics and opens the curtain for new awareness of our ancestors against the large-scale history of the Czech lands. Though undoubtedly a scholarly text, the book is nonetheless conceived as readable even for the wider public. Among other findings, the reader learns of the origins and gradual expansion of the famous St. Matthew s Fair - until only the recent past, associated with St. Matthew s Church itself. No less intriguing themes addressed are the church s famous gingerbread Nativity scene, or the depictions of the church by various artists. The text was reviewed by four professional historians, each addressing the relevant epoch of scholarly expertise - prehistory, medieval times, the Baroque era, and modernity. The publication is illustrated with a wealth of archival and contemporary photographs, historic engravings and maps, all capturing and enlivening the sacred structure and site that is its central theme Kniha autora Vojtěcha Pokorného pojednává nejen o dějinách nejstarší křesťanské svatyně v pražských Dejvicích, ale i o minulosti lokality samotné, počínaje prvním osídlením v pozdní době kamenné až po současnost. Autor uvádí pomocí bohatého poznámkového aparátu na pravou míru mýty o nejstarších stopách lidské činnosti na Horní Šárce a o vzniku kostelíka sv. Matěje a navazuje v chronologickém sledu líčením zdejších událostí v následujících staletích.Výzkum dobových archiválií a dalších pramenů dal vzniknout monolitnímu textu, který osvětluje dnes již téměř zapomenutou historii. Autor předkládá doposud nezpracované téma a otevírá nová poznání o našich předcích na pozadí velkých dějin českých zemí.

Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a platform from which to address issues of gender politics and class consciousness among the British middle-class of the late eighteenth century. The novels included in this collection from the elegant Knickerbocker Classics series—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan—represent all of Austen #39;s complete novels, and provide the reader with an entrance into the world she and her memorable characters inhabited. With witty, unflinching morality, Austen portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Austen #39;s heroines find happiness in many forms, each of the novels is a story of love and marriage—marriage for love, financial security, and for social status. In a publishing career that spanned less than ten years, her work brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime. It wasn #39;t until the 1940s that she became widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of Austen scholarship and the emergence of a fan culture.
