In September 1913, Mieczyslaw Wojnicz, a student suffering from tuberculosis, arrives at Wilhelm Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen, a health resort in what is now western Poland. Every day, its residents gather in the dining room to imbibe the hallucinogenic local liqueur, to obsess over money and status, and to discuss the great issues of the day: Will there be war? Monarchy or democracy? Do devils exist? Are women inherently inferior? Meanwhile, disturbing things are beginning to happen in the guesthouse and its surroundings. As stories of shocking events in the nearby highlands reach the men, a sense of dread builds.Someone – or something – seems to be watching them and attempting to infiltrate their world. Little does Mieczyslaw realize, as he attempts to unravel both the truths within himself and the mystery of the sinister forces beyond, that they have already chosen their next target. A century after the publication of The Magic Mountain, Olga Tokarczuk revisits Thomas Mann territory and lays claim to it, blending horror story, comedy, folklore and feminist parable with brilliant storytelling.

Kdyby se na nás někdo podíval z výšky, spatřil by svět plný uspěchaných, zpocených a unavených lidí a jejich zpožděných, ztracených duší… Byl jednou jeden člověk, který příliš často a příliš rychle pracoval a svou duši nechal už dávno někde daleko za sebou. Bez duše se mu nežilo špatně — spal, jedl, chodil do práce, řídil auto, a dokonce hrál tenis. Časem však nabyl dojmu, že se svět kolem něj jaksi zploštil. Připadalo mu, jako by se pohyboval po hladkém listu papíru v sešitě na matematiku, po papíru pokrytém hustou mřížkou malých čtverečků. První kniha nositelky Nobelovy ceny Olgy Tokarczukové vyprávěná nejen slovy, ale především obrazem. Dojemnému příběhu o trpělivosti, vnímavosti a návratu k sobě samému vdechla duši výtvarnice Joanna Concejová. Její něžné, melancholické ilustrace dávají čtenáři ohromný prostor, aby se zastavil a navázal rozhovor s vlastním nitrem. Je to pohádka pro dítě, které dřímá v dospělém člověku. Pro toho, kdo už má něco odžito a začínají na něj doléhat otázky pomíjivosti. — Olga Tokarczuková, Wyborcza.pl

Pozvánka do spisovatelské laboratoře polské prozaičky a nobelistky Olgy Tokarczukové. Velká literatura je bezesporu věcí velkého talentu. I zkušení a oceňovaní spisovatelé však musejí stále zkoušet, jaký přístup funguje, a jaký ne, jakou perspektivu ten či onen příběh vyžaduje. Hledají metodu. A když ji najdou, stane se často jejich výrobním tajemstvím, které odhalují zdráhavě a po malých dávkách. Oblíbená polská spisovatelka a laureátka Nobelovy ceny za literaturu Olga Tokarczuková se rozhodla udělat pravý opak. Ve svých esejích, fejetonech a přednáškách projevuje svou zvědavost a přístup vnímavého vypravěče, který nyní čtenářům předkládá i ve stejnojmenné knize. Přibližuje, jaké zážitky a myšlenky ji formovaly, čeho si v životě všímá a na co by se nemělo zapomínat. Zpoza známých románů tak vyvstává nejen autorská mysl, ale i citlivý a inspirativní postoj ke světu. Koneckonců každý může být občas vnímavým vypravěčem.

With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by 'one of Europe's major humanist writers' (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.

Krom toho v zimě zastává funkci správkyně letních obydlí několika lufťáků v jejich osadě na Plošině, ležící daleko od zbytku světa.

Němé tváře se snaží všemožně chránit, i když to znamená boj proti lidem, kteří jim ubližují. Jednoho dne je její soused nalezen mrtvý. Následuje další vražda a pak další, umírají pytláci i významní členové místní komunity. Jedinými svědky jsou lesní živočichové, jejichž masové vybíjení během lovecké sezony nikoho netrápí.

The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient and attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old.

Román, kterému autorka zasvětila tři roky práce, je odvážným dílem, v němž vypovídá hodně o sobě a svém vidění světa. Běguni (Poutníci) byli příslušníci ruské pravoslavné sekty z osmnáctého století. Věřili, že svět je dílem ďábla a ten má největší moc nad lidmi, kteří stojí na místě. Tokarczuková píše, že se setkala s dnešními běguny, kteří neustále jezdí moskevským metrem. Děj není založen na osudech postav ani na příběhu, je postaven na kulturním fenoménu: cestování. Proč lidé cestují, proč nezůstávají na místě? Odkud se bere lidský nepokoj, potřeba přemísťovat se? Jsme všichni nomády, pro které je překonávání prostoru smyslem života? Autorka popisuje svět dnešních poutníků, kteří s sebou vozí svou cestovatelskou výbavu (miniaturní šampony, skládací zubní kartáčky, pantofle), své nemoci z časových posunů a vlastní jazyk. Návštěva tohoto světa je díky autorčinu vypravěčskému mistrovství velkým zážitkem.

Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin’s heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

Svět je čím dál bizarnější. Překvapivé a nepředvídatelné povídky od držitelky Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Odkud se bere pocit podivnosti? Je podivnost vlastností světa, nebo se skrývá spíše v nás samých? Slovo "bizarní" pochází z francouzského bizarre, které znamená "divný", "zvláštní", ale také "překvapivý". A právě taková - udivující a mimo všechny kategorie - je nejnovější kniha Olgy Tokarczukové. Deset povídek, každá se odehrává v jiném prostoru: ve Volyni během vpádu švédských vojsk, v současném Švýcarsku, ve vzdálené Asii, na imaginárních místech. Proměnlivý rytmus povídek udržuje čtenáře v napětí, takže si ani na chvíli není jistý, co se stane na další stránce. Autorka jej vyvádí z rovnováhy, vystrkuje z komfortní zóny a ukazuje, že svět je čím dál méně srozumitelný. Prvky grotesky, černého humoru, fantastiky a hororu odhalují, že v realitě nic není takové, jak to na první pohled vypadá.

Opus magnum světoznámé polské autorky Rok 1752. Podolí, součást Polského království, území ležící na dnešní západní Ukrajině, oblast osídlená křesťany, židy i muslimy. Polskou společnost soužil rozkol mezi vládnoucím královským dvorem, venkovskou šlechtou a bezzemky, jejichž síla se v osmnáctém století začala naplno projevovat. Díky kvetoucímu obchodu s muslimským světem docházelo k bohaté kulturní výměně. Pozvolný hospodářský a morální úpadek však plíživě pronikal do všech pater společnosti, která se pokoušela nalézt viníka. Židé mezitím čekali na svou příležitost k emancipaci. Podstatná část příběhu se odehrává i v židovském městě Brünn, tedy v Brně, ale i v jiných středoevropských městech, takže se čtenáři nabízí zvláštní paralela se současným dramatickým střetem s jinými kulturami. Díky poutavému vyprávění Olgy Tokarczukové získáváme neodbytný pocit, že tento střet je v této části světa přítomen odpradávna. Román je obrazem dávného Polska, mocného a vlivného království na vrcholu své státnosti, ale zároveň těsně před pádem do osudové propasti zájmů sousedních mocností.

But are the lengths he goes in order to restore his sense of being unique and exceptional worth it? In their new story, the creators of The Lost Soul - Nobel prize in literature winner Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo - show us a world of obsession with personal appearance and self-promotion, where happiness is an imperative, and the cult of youth rules.

‘I told Marta that each of us has two homes – one actual home with a fixed location in time and space, and a second that is infinite, with no address and no chance of being immortalized in architectural plans – and that we live in both of them simultaneously.’A young woman settles in Nowa Ruda, a village in Lower Silesia, a few dozen metres from the Czech border. The communist regime has just collapsed, but that is not the only noticeable change: the -surrounding houses, gardens and forests are full of vestiges of the time when the region belonged to another country. Together with her enigmatic neighbour Marta, the narrator accumulates the stories of the hamlet, from the history of its foundation to the lives of its saints, from anecdotes about its wonderfully unique inhabitants to recipes and gossip.

Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle...Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen''s ''weird fiction'' has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today.This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen''s weird vision. The edition''s introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.

An accessible multidisciplinary overview for anyone seeking to understand the commercial determinants of healthOur health is largely shaped by the world around us—by the conditions in which we grow, work, and live. These conditions include the commercial determinants of health, the private sector activities which influence our physical and social environments, our available evidence and solutions, and even our discourse and understanding around key health and social issues. Until recently, commercial determinants have remained largely absent from our conceptual understanding of the drivers of health. The scale of their potential impact necessitates a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, but no book has yet explored the commercial impacts on health in their totality. This pioneering volume sheds light on how commercial determinants shape health directly and indirectly through influencing policy, evidence, and discourse. Featuring original cross-sector research, The Commercial Determinants of Health draws on insights from a wide-ranging group of experts who introduce the commercial determinants of health and describe the proximal and distal pathways through which they affect population health. Each chapter further illustrates the health impact of commercial actors, including through multidisciplinary case studies ranging from tobacco to fossil fuels. Together, these essays seek to integrate new and emerging research ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The new edition of this popular introduction takes seriously the idea that health outcomes can be fully understood only by investigating the role the social world plays in our health. Ratcliff and Axtell-Thompson put into practice the "upstream" imagery championed by public health experts, locating the causes of health problems – and their solutions – within the social environment. Each chapter explains how the shape of social institutions, the unequal realities of community life, and the politics behind corporate and governmental decisions produce and perpetuate unhealthy living and working conditions. This new edition links more strongly to existing US and international policy frameworks on the determinants of health and pays greater attention to socioeconomic factors, education, climate change, and neighborhood disparities. Arguing that none of us should be placed in health-threatening situations that could be prevented, this provocative analysis uses social justice and human rights lenses to guide public discussion toward changes that can produce a healthier world for us all. It will continue to be invaluable to professionals and students in sociology, public health, and other fields related to health.

This masterful guide to the social determinants of health has become a go-to text for understanding the role that social factors play in the experience of health and many diseases. In this updated edition, preeminent medical sociologist William C. Cockerham offers the most compelling case yet that stress, poverty, unhealthy lifestyles, and adverse living and working conditions can all be directly associated with illness. Looking beyond individual explanations for health and disease, Cockerham marshals evidence and theory for those seeking a clear and authoritative overview of the social causes of health and illness. Of particular note in this revised edition are: updates on the power of social class to determine a person’s health and life span; deeper consideration of how the social construction of race matters for a person’s physical and mental health; new research on the role of lifestyles as a social determinant of health; and an analysis of the differential impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. This engaging introduction to social epidemiology will be indispensable reading for all students and scholars of medical sociology, especially those with the courage to confront the possibility that society really does make people sick.

A story about the design and life of hospitals—how they are born and evolve, the forces that shape them and the shifts that conspire to incapacitate them Reading architecture through the history of hospitals offers a tool for unlocking the elemental principles of architecture and the intractable laws of human and social conditions that architecture serves in each of our lives. This book encounters brilliant and visionary designers who were hospital architects but also systems designers, driven by the aim of social change. They faced the contradictions of health care in their time and found innovative ways to solve for specific medical dilemmas. Designers and professionals such as Filarete, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Albert Schweitzer, Gordon Friesen, E. Todd Wheeler and Eberhard Zeidler are studied here, while the medical spaces of more widely known architects such as Isambard Brunel, Aalvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn and Paul Rudolph also help inform this history. All these characters were polymaths and provocateurs, but none quite summarizes this history more succinctly than Florence Nightingale, who, in laying out her guidelines for ward design in 1859, shows how the design of a medical facility can influence an entire political and social order.The Architecture of ...

Its primary aim is to change how we understand the world by investigating humanity as an intelligent being, examining and contrasting human and artificial intelligence.The book considers what we can learn from the likely mental health issues that will occur with increasingly sophisticated aspects of machine intelligence and how they will reflect the human condition. It asks questions about our identity in a deeply uncertain and disruptive ever-changing world; how we will improve and enhance our psychological intelligence to meet the increasing complications and demands of the future; and what we need to do, now, to be psychologically intelligent enough to live a full meaningful life in a new world evolving around us.
