the fortunate mistress roxana daniel defoe

''I liv''d indeed like a Queen; or if you will have me confess, that my Condition had still the Reproach of a Whore, I may say, I was sure, the Queen of Whores.''Left destitute by her husband, the heroine of Defoe''s final novel has to choose between her virtue and her life. Choosing survival, she makes her way as a kept woman and courtesan. The Fortunate Mistress (1724), also known under the title Roxana, tells the story of how she climbs society''s ladder by dint of her own enterprise, shedding and gaining multiple identities as she moves through the worlds of business and finance, and across the trade capitals of Europe. Amassing a fortune, her taste for men and luxuries veers increasingly to the aristocratic and exotic, culminating when she dances before the King at a masquerade dressed in the garb of a Turkish Sultana--at which point she is granted the name by which she is known to history, Roxana. Despite her rise, Roxana''s past never recedes from view, and her choices eventally begin to weigh on her, prompting an excruciating self-reckoning that is only compounded as the children she has abandoned return, threatening to expose this past to public view. Defoe resists easy solutions in a sprawling and complex novel which shows an unprecedented degree of psychological realism: readers experience the interplay of circumstance, need, desire, religion, and social convention that can allow the development of a moral sense, or conspire to suppress it.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Audiokniha: Slavný román Daniela Defoa býval často považován za knihu pro děti příliš těžkou a nesrozumitelnou. Od jeho vzniku byly napsány mnohé verze pro mládež, v nichž se původní obsah do jisté míry stírá. Převyprávění spisovatele Františka Novotného se tak stalo doslova novodobou klasikou. Přibližuje čtenářům ničím nepřikrášlenou postavu Robinsona – Robina, inspirovanou původním hrdinou s jeho dobrými i špatnými vlastnostmi. Daniel Defoe (1660 - 1731) Daniel Defoe se narodil roku 1660 v Anglii, v době plné náboženských a společenských rozporů, a zemřel roku 1731. Pocházel z rodiny londýnského svíčkaře a řezníka. Daniel Foe (přídomek „de“ si k příjmení dal až později) chodil do presbyteriánské školy, kde se mu dostalo nejvyššího akademického vzdělání. V době ostrých náboženských sporů po smrti krále Viléma III. se také octl ve vězení pro veřejné pobuřování. Po návratu z vězení založil noviny nazvané Přehled, které po deset let řídil a většinou i sám psal. Napsal řadu děl, z nichž nejznámější je kniha Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Mezi další díla patří Kapitán Singleton; Moll Flandersová; Plukovník Jack; Roxana. Psal i řadu geografických příruček a spisů o zámořských plavbách. Když začal psát Robinsona, bylo Defoeovi 60 let. Za základ příběhu nepochybně posloužilo vyprávění o skotském námořníkovi Alexandru Selkirkovi, který byl roku 1705 za trest vysazen z lodi. Na ostrově v Tichém oceáně prožil 4 roky a 4 měsíce, než byl náhodou nalezen a dopraven zpět do Anglie. Zbyšek Horák (1966) Poprvé se v médiích objevil v roce 1985 jako hlasatel zpravodajství tehdejšího Československého rozhlasu. V 90. letech působil v soukromých rádiích i na televizní obrazovce, na přelomu století se vrátil do Českého rozhlasu. V současné době se věnuje především dabingu jako režisér i interpret. Daboval řadu rolí v televizních seriálech i v celovečerních filmech a natočil stovky komentářů k dokumentárním filmům. Od roku 2002 byl „českým hlasem“ Jeremyho Clarksona, jednoho ze tří moderátorů pořadu Top Gear a je také interpretem audioknihy Jeremyho Clarksona Vím, že máš duši.

Audiokniha: Deník morového roku představuje fiktivní zápisky účastníka děsivé morové epidemie, která v roce 1665 vyhladila na sto tisíc obyvatel Londýna. Děsivou morovou epidemii, která v roce 1665 zahubila v Londýně na sto tisíc obyvatel, přečkal tehdy pětiletý Daniel Defoe v bezpečí na venkově. Ve městě však zůstal jeho strýc. A snad právě jeho pohledem, očima prostého moudrého člověka, který stejnou měrou cítí obavy o svůj osud i o účast nad utrpením svých bližních, nechává nás autor nahlédnout do ulic a domů v tom čase. Jsme svědky vzrůstající paniky, která na Londýn dolehne a žene lidi z města ven či do náruče mastičkářům a šarlatánům, tragické výjevy se střídají s historkami, jimž nechybí nádech grotesknosti. Bezhlavé zoufalství jedněch je vyvažováno obdivuhodnou kázní a rozvahou druhých.A tak přestože má kniha všechny rysy reportáže a její dokumentární hodnota je veliká (obsahuje řadu dobových statistik), nevytvořil v ní autor pouze nadmíru zdařilou literární fikci, ale skutečné realistické dílo o lidské odvaze čelit neznámému děsivému nepříteli. Daniel Defoe se tak stal předchůdcem žánru literatury faktu. Spisovatel Walter Scott poznamenal zhruba sto let po vydání Deníku, že kniha patří "k těm zvláštním dílům, která kolísají mezi faktografií a smyšlenkou".

Chlapca z Yorku privedie túžba po mori, neznámych krajinách a dobrodružstvách na pustý ostrov, kde musí ako stroskotanec siahnuť až na dno svojich síl, aby prežil a šťastne sa vrátil domov. Román, ktorý napísal Daniel Defoe pred vyše 300 rokmi, vyšiel v stovkách vydaní a v rozličných prerozprávaniach.

'A raging wave, mountain-like, came rowling a-stern of us...we were all swallowed up in a moment.The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man' or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe's life and times, explanatory notes, glossary and a critical introduction discussing Robinson Crusoe as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism.

Audiokniha: Zdaleka nejúspěšnějším dílem Daniela Defoe je Robinson Crusoe, vydaný poprvé v roce 1719 pod titulem Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Předpokládá se, že předobrazem Robinsona byl skotský námořník Alexandr Selkirk, který skutečně strávil více než čtyři roky jako trosečník na ostrově vzdáleném necelých 700 km od chilského pobřeží (dnes se jmenuje Ostrov Robinsona Crusoea) a když se v roce 1711 vrátil do Británie, stal se tehdejší celebritou a jeho příběh byl vícekrát literárně zpracován. Česky vyšel román Robinson Crusoe poprvé v roce 1797, od té doby více než stokrát. Nejúspěšnější bylo a dosud je převyprávění pro děti z pera Josefa Věromíra Plevy (poprvé bylo vydáno v roce 1956). Z této verze vyšla také rozhlasová úprava z roku 2009, do které se nyní můžete zaposlouchat.

Audiokniha: Napněte plachty a vzhůru za dobrodružstvím! Příběh anglického dobrodruha, který byl v mládí prodán do otroctví, dostal se na loď, prošel pěšky Afrikou, stal se pirátem a do Anglie se vrátil jako bohatý muž. Vyprávění, kterému nechybí atmosféra, švih a nápad. Robert Singleton se nikdy nedozvěděl, kdo byli jeho rodiče, protože byl jako dvouletý chlapec unesen a pak prodáván z ruky do ruky. Sám to líčí s půvabným nadhledem: „Mou hodnou cikánskou matku později pověsili, zřejmě pro nějaké lotroviny… Myslím, že jsem byl často předáván z obce do obce, snad proto, že se jednotlivé farnosti přely o pozůstalost mé údajné matky. Nevím, zda mě posílali postrkem či jinak, ale město, kde jsem dlel naposledy, muselo být blízko pobřeží.“ To se stalo pro život Singletona osudným. Se svým novým pěstounem se plavil po moři, po ztroskotání prošel africkou divočinou – kterou Defoe popsal dokonale, aniž by tam kdy byl –, znovu se dostal na moře a stal se z něj postrach lodí, které na své plavbě potkával. A pirátský život byl tak výnosný, že na sklonku života bylo Singletonovi dopřáno v klidu si užívat „našetřené“ renty doma v Anglii.

Daniele is a young poet plagued by an unknown darkness, “an invisible disease of the heart, or of the mind.” He refuses to conform to society’s expectations—finding a job, starting a family—yet he struggles to define a path of his own and find a sense of purpose in life.In a desperate attempt to pull himself out of a dangerous spiral of emptiness and self-destruction, Daniele accepts a job at a paediatric hospital in Rome, the Bambino Gesù, where he’ll work with sick children, many of them terminally ill. In the “house of gazes,” that is, the hospital, through his interactions with patients and co-workers, and forced to confront pain in some of its most heartbreaking forms, Daniele will slowly start to look at life with new eyes and learn to accept it in all its brutality and beauty.Writing with the evocative power and sharp focus of a poet, Mencarelli tells a raw and moving story of self-discovery, renewal, and liberation achieved through solidarity and compassion, a story closely inspired by the events of his own life.

A much-needed playbook to supporting and retaining women of color in leadership roles to create lasting change in the world, from a former labor and community organizer and founder of one of the nation’s premier funders of women of color-led organizations.“A balm and an inspiration.”—Ai-jen Poo, president of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and director of Caring Across Generations In the U.S., many of the most significant social justice victories of our time have been spearheaded by women of color leaders. From the streets, to the ballot box, to elected office, no other demographic group stands up more consistently and unequivocally for human rights, democracy, and the planet. Remarkably, they’ve accomplished this despite conditions—in their fields and organizations—that make leadership uniquely treacherous for them. For women of color leaders, the game is rigged. How much more could humanity be winning if we unrigged it? What might be possible, in this clutch moment of history, with so much on the line, if movements stopped benching our best in ways that negatively impact the scoreboard for everybody? Unrig the Game equips us to support effective women of color leaders so we can all win. A former community and union organizer who started one of the largest foundations to resource women of color-led organizing, Vanessa Priya Daniel draws on candid interviews with forty-five prominent women of color movement leaders, along with her own experience at the helm of an organization, to offer an on-the-ground perspective of the obstacles leaders face, how they navigate them, and how allies can show up. Daniel highlights the unique strengths and “superpowers” these leaders bring to the fight for social change, while debunking the myth that identity alone makes a transformative leader.For women of color leaders, this book is a balm, a sister circle, and a master class. For everyone, it is an essential tool to realize the world we all deserve.

''Mandy Aftel''s latest work with Daniel Patterson is a masterpiece on the science of cooking from an olfactory and culinary perspective through the same lens. This book is a must for any chef or cook looking to find new inspirations and a deeper understanding of the way flavours work together.'' Pratap Chahal (@thathungrychef), Flavour Bastard, Soho, London''Am counting down the days till your book arrives!'' Nigella LawsonDaniel Patterson, a chef, and Mandy Aftel, a perfumer, present a revolutionary new approach to creating delicious, original food. Aftel and Patterson are rock stars in their respective fields: Patterson has won two Michelin stars for his San Francisco restaurant Coi and numerous James Beard and other food awards, and his new path-breaking co-venture Loco''l is attracting national interest; Aftel has been profiled in the New York Times T Magazine and other publications and is constantly featured and quoted in magazines and blogs. In a world awash with cooking shows, food blogs and recipes, the art of flavour has been surprisingly neglected. The multibillion-dollar flavour industry practises its dark arts by manipulating synthetic ingredients, and home cooks are taught to wield the same blunt instruments: salt, acid, sugar, heat.But foods in their natural states are infinitely more nuanced than the laboratory can replicate - and offer far greater possibilities for deliciousness. Chef Daniel Patterson and natural perfumer Mandy Aftel are experts at orchestrating ingredients, and here they teach readers how to make the most of nature''s palette. The Art of Flavour proceeds not by rote formula but via a series of mind-opening and palate-expanding tools and concepts: using a flavour ''compass'' to find the way to transformative combinations of aromatic ingredients; pairing ingredients to make them ''bury'' (control) one another and ''lock'' (achieve an alchemy that transcends the sum of the parts); learning to deploy cooking methods for maximum effect; and the seven ''dials'' that allow a cook to fine-tune a dish. With more than sixty recipes that allow the cook to grasp each concept and put it into practice, The Art of Flavour is food for the imagination that will help cooks at any level to become flavour virtuosos in their own right.From The Flavour Bible on, flavour has been a particular focus of recent interest, but no one has Patterson''s and Aftel''s unique perspective on it, their combined expertise, or their winning blend of ideas, information, recipes and cooking and perfuming lore. The Art of Flavour is a thinking person''s cookbook that uses recipes to instil principles for creating delicious food at home, larded with fascinating information on the history and science of flavour that make it a great armchair read as well.

How has democracy become so threatened – and what can we do to save it? With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples – from the Capitol riots, to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand – to explain why political parties turn against democracy, and how to see when this will happen. In this razor-sharp analysis, Levitsky and Ziblatt offer in particular an urgent warning about right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system. Multiracial democracy is something few societies have ever achieved – but even the prospect of this change can spark an authoritarian backlash whose dangerous effects will resonate long into the future. Donald Trump’s astonishing lead in the run-up to the Republican nomination, even after his indictment and imprisonment on charges of election interference, is evidence of that. With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens’ movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it’s too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy – and to understand where future threats may come from.

Their scripted mission was to save a local Chicago orphanage; but Aykroyd, who conceived and wrote much of the film, had a greater mission: to honour the then-seemingly forgotten tradition of rhythm and blues, some of whose greatest artists - Aretha Franklin, James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles - made the film as unforgettable as its wild car chases. Much delayed and vastly over budget, beset by mercurial and oft drugged-out stars, The Blues Brothers opened to outraged reviews. However, in the 44 years since it has been acknowledged a classic: inducted into the National Film Registry for its cultural significance, even declared a 'Catholic classic' by the Church itself, and re-aired thousands of times on television to huge worldwide audiences. It is, undeniably, one of the most significant films of the 20th century.The saga behind The Blues Brothers, as Daniel de Vise reveals, is epic, encompassing the colourful childhoods of Belushi and Aykroyd; the comedic revolution sparked by Harvard's Lampoon and Chicago's Second City; the birth and anecdote-rich, drug-filled early years of Saturday Night Live, where the Blues Brothers were born as an act amidst turmoil and rivalry; and, of course, the indelible behind-the-scenes narrative of how the film was made, scene by memorable scene. Based on original research and dozens of interviews probing the memories of principals from director John Landis and producer Bob Weiss to Aykroyd himself, The Blues Brothers illuminates an American masterpiece while vividly portraying the creative geniuses behind modern comedy.

Upends entrenched thinking about cities, demonstrating how urban economies are defined—or constrained—by the fiscal imagination of policymakers, activists, and residents.  Many local policymakers make decisions based on a deep-seated belief: what’s good for the rich is good for cities. Convinced that local finances depend on attracting wealthy firms and residents, municipal governments lavish public subsidies on their behalf. Whatever form this strategy takes—tax-exempt apartments, corporate incentives, debt-financed mega projects—its rationale remains consistent and assumed to be true. But this wasn’t always the case. Between the 1870s and the 1970s, a wide range of activists, citizens, and intellectuals in New York City connected local fiscal crises to the greed and waste of the rich. These figures saw other routes to development, possibilities rooted in alternate ideas about what was fiscally viable.  In The Menace of Prosperity, Daniel Wortel-London argues that urban economics and politics are shaped by what he terms the “fiscal imagination” of policymakers, activists, advocates, and other figures. His survey of New York City during a period of explosive growth shows how residents went beyond the limits of redistributive liberalism to imagine how their communities could become economically viable without the largesse of the wealthy. Their strategies—which included cooperatives, public housing, land-value taxation, public utilities, and more—centered the needs and capabilities of ordinary residents as the basis for local economies that were both prosperous and just.  Overturning stale axioms about economic policy, The Menace of Prosperity shows that not all growth is productive for cities. Wortel-London’s ambitious history demonstrates the range of options we’ve abandoned and hints at the economic frameworks we could still realize—and the more democratic cities that might result.

From the author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning bestseller Ishmael and its sequel, My Ishmael, comes a powerful novel with one of the most profound spiritual testaments of our time “A compelling ‘humantale’ that will unglue, stun, shock, and rearrange everything you’ve learned and assume about Western civilization and our future.”—Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce Father Jared Osborne has received an extraordinary assignment from his superiors: Investigate an itinerant preacher stirring up deep trouble in central Europe. His followers call him B, but his enemies say he’s something else: the Antichrist. However, the man Osborne tracks across a landscape of bars, cabarets, and seedy meeting halls is no blasphemous monster—though an earlier era would undoubtedly have rushed him to the burning stake. For B claims to be enunciating a gospel written not on any stone or parchment but in our very genes, opening up a spiritual direction for humanity that would have been unimaginable to any of the prophets or saviors of traditional religion. Pressed by his superiors for a judgement, Osborne is driven to penetrate B’s inner circle, where he soon finds himself an anguished collaborator in the dismantling of his own religious foundations. More than a masterful novel of adventure and suspense, The Story of B is a rich source of compelling ideas from an author who challenges us to rethink our most cherished beliefs.

In the future, tourists will strap on a VR headset that serves up information about the storefronts and cathedrals they pass, letting them ''see Paris'' without actually laying eyes on it. Instant-translation earbuds will mean we''ll never have to learn the words Donde esta la biblioteca? - and who needs a library or bookstore when Spanish-English dictionaries and guidebooks are obsolete? Meanwhile, thanks to AI, travelers will have an unprecedented fount of information at their disposal - but how much of it can be trusted? And is it really ''saving time'' if AI bots are sending everyone to stand in line at already-overrun tourist spots? In the coming years, more cities and countries will take drastic measures to combat not only a flood of tourists but of a growing worldwide workforce of ''location-independent professionals,'' enacting congestion pricing and car-free zones, and grounding budget airlines such as Ryanair (or ''Ruinair,'' as climate activists have dubbed it) in favour of zero-emission, hydrogen-fuelled train networks.

No other artist, apart from J. M. W. Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840–1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézanne called “only an eye, but my God what an eye!” who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object. It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 19th century, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his explorations was the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art. This biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.
