Mokrá ryba - Volker Kutscher - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Berlín roku 1929 – město v rauši Mladý a ctižádostivý komisař Gereon Rath byl po neúmyslném zabití civilisty v rodném Kolíně nad Rýnem přesunut na berlínské mravnostní oddělení, které má práce nad hlavu. Kokain, ilegální noční kluby, politické pouliční bitky – obyvatelstvo metropole si vychutnává život na hraně i za ní. Gereon se přesto na vlastní pěst zaplete do vyšetřování, které vede oddělení vražd. Neznámý mrtvý, jehož tělo nese stopy brutálního mučení, je pro berlínskou mordpartu záhadou. Situace je totiž mnohem komplikovanější, než se na první pohled zdá. Literární předloha úspěšného seriálu Babylon Berlin „Příběhy Gereona Ratha jsou o demokracii. O tom, jak je křehká a jak snadno se může změnit v diktaturu, pokud se o ni lidé dostatečně nestarají. Pokud se my dostatečně nestaráme. Gereon Rath je jeden z lidí, kteří se považují za apolitické. Myslí si, že politika není jeho věc. Ale to je klam.“ – Volker Kutscher „Mokrá ryba je napínavý příběh ze světa drog, ilegálních nočních podniků, pornografie a pouličních politických bitek.

Rembrandt. The Complete Paintings - Volker Manuth, Marieke de Winkel, Rudie van Leeuwen

The Dutch Golden Age of painting spawned some of history’s greatest artists and artisans, but few can boast the genius and legacy of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606–1669). Despite never leaving his native Netherlands, Rembrandt projected his oeuvre past the boundaries of his own experience, producing some of art’s most diverse and impactful works across portraiture, biblical, allegorical, landscape, and genre scenes.In all their forms, Rembrandt’s paintings are built of intricacies—the totality of each subtle facial wrinkle, gaze, or figure amounting to an emotional force that stands unmatched among his contemporaries and artistic progeny alike. Each work is imbued with feeling. Biblical scenes, like Bathsheba at her Bath, become vehicles for meditations on human longing, probing depths beyond that which is canonized in scripture or depicted in other representations.His portraits, be them of wealthy patrons or tradesmen, communicate the essence of an individual through fine demarcations, their faces bathed in an ethereal light against darkened earthtones. Perhaps most striking, his series of self-portraits is a triumph of the medium; beginning in his youth and spanning until a year prior to his death, Rembrandt’s self portraiture is an intimate glimpse into his lifelong process of self-reflection.

The Black Fives is a groundbreaking, timely history of the largely unknown early days of Black basketball, bringing to life the trailblazing players, teams, and impresarios who pioneered the sport.“For a game that has meant so much to the world, Claude Johnson somehow presents a definitive account for a part of basketball’s history that for so long was kept away from us. Claude is a superhero storyteller, and this book is a bona fide superpower.” —Justin Tinsley, author of It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him From the introduction of the game of basketball to Black communities on a wide scale in 1904 to the racial integration of the NBA in 1950, dozens of African American teams were founded and flourished. This period, known as the Black Fives Era (teams at the time were often called “fives”), was a time of pioneering players and managers. They battled discrimination and marginalization and created culturally rich, socially meaningful events. But despite headline-making rivalries between big-city clubs, barnstorming tours across the country, innovative business models, and undeniably talented players, this period is almost entirely unknown to basketball fans.

The Benjamin Files - Fredric Jameson

The Benjamin Files offers a comprehensive new reading of all of Benjamin's major works and a great number of his shorter book reviews, notes and letters. Its premise is that Benjamin was an anti-philosophical, anti-systematic thinker whose conceptual interests also felt the gravitational pull of his vocation as a writer. What resulted was a coexistence or variety of language fields and thematic codes which overlapped and often seemed to contradict each other: a view which will allow us to clarify the much-debated tension in his works between the mystical or theological side of Benjamin and his political or historical inclination. The three-way tug of war over his heritage between adherents of his friends Scholem, Adorno and Brecht, can also be better grasped from this position, which gives the Brechtian standpoint more due than most influential academic studies. Benjamin's corpus is an anticipation of contemporary theory in the priority it gives language and representation over philosophical or conceptual unity; and its political motivations are clarified by attention to the omnipresence of History throughout his writing, from the shortest articles to the most ambitious projects.
