Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

When he attends a dying patron of his family's boarding house, young Jim Hawkins has no idea that the man was once a pirate, or that the man's possessions include a map that will lead whoever has it to the island where the notorious buccaneer, Captain Flint, buried his treasure. Jim and his guardians hire a boat to sail to the island, unaware that crew they have hired includes many members of Flint's pirate band, among them former quartermaster Long John Silver, and that they hope to claim the treasure for their own. The ensuing action-packed adventure established the classic pirate story as it was written for more than a century afterward, and it made the literary reputation of its young author, Robert Louis Stevenson.

OBRAZY Z CIEST – Cesta z Mníchova do Janova, Kúpele Lucca a mesto Lucca vznikali v rokoch 1828 – 1830. Nie sú len obdivným rozprávaním o talianskej prírode a o ľuďoch, ktorých formuje. V talianskej trilógii Heinrich Heine jasne vyjadruje svoj politický postoj. Vystupuje proti svetským a duchovným feudálom. Stavia sa za zrovnoprávnenie národov. Podľa jeho názoru „Európa dospela k plnoletosti a odtrháva sa od železnej šnúry, na ktorej ju vodili privilegovaní aristokracie“. Široká škála humoru až po satiru, ktorú Heine v diele hojne využíva, umožňuje bez moralizovania nastaviť spoločnosti kritické zrkadlo. Heinrich Heine vytvoril beletristickú prózu, ktorá patrí ku klenotom nemeckej literatúry. Niet divu, že je tak často prekladaným dielom.

eBook: Monografie se věnuje úvahám francouzského historika a teoretika literatury Louise Cazamiana, které jsou věnovány povaze humoru. Představuje návaznost těchto úvah na Bergsonovu teorii komična jako kontrastu mezi životem a automatismem i na Bergsonovy poznámky věnované humoru jako zvláštnímu typu komické transpozice jazyka. Zároveň však monografie vyzdvihuje, že Cazamian dospívá k vytvoření svébytné teorie. Cazamian hovoří o humoru jako o výtvoru, který je komický a zároveň umělecký. Zatímco umělecký statut humoru vyplývá z toho, že v humoru je vyzdvižena mnohotvárnost skutečnosti, jeho komičnost je výsměchem neschopnosti takový charakter skutečnosti respektovat.

Where soon you're the bank's most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars.A day. Where you dream of numbers in your sleep - and then stop sleeping at all.But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer - and, as the economy starts slipping off a precipice, your own sanity starts slipping with it? You want to stop, but you can't. Because nobody ever leaves.Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?

eBook: This is a unique history of what in the 1980s was the world’s largest association in the media field. However, the IOJ was embroiled in the Cold War: the bulk of 300,000 members were in the socialist East and developing South. Hence the collapse of the Soviet-led communist order in central-eastern Europe in 1989–91 precipitated the IOJ’s demise. The author – a Finnish journalism educator and media scholar – served as President of the IOJ during its heyday. In addition to a chronological account of the organization, the book includes testimonies by actors inside and outside the IOJ and comprehensive appendices containing unpublished documents.

eBook: Monografie připomene sté výročí pražských anglických studií, která byla oficiálně ustavena v roce 1912 jmenováním Viléma Mathesiuse, zakladatele Pražského lingvistického kroužku a prvního profesora anglického jazyka a literatury na Univerzitě Karlově. Kromě přehodnocení práce hlavních představitelů (Mathesius, Vančura a další) a posuzování vývoje na literaturu orientovaných pražských studií angličtiny a s ohledem na pražský strukturalismus, se kniha zaměří na metodologické problémy oboru v souvislosti s transformací humanistické a stejně tak moderní filologie, hledání souvislostí mezi dvěma historicky odlišnými interdisciplinárními projekty: humanistickou filologií a strukturalistickou sémiologií. Spolu s Paulem de Man, lze tento odkaz identifikovat jako problém rétoriky - jeho těžko postřehnutelné postavení mezi gramatikou a logikou, strukturou a významem a performativitou a hodnotou jazyka. Přehodnocení tohoto problému se zdá mít zásadní význam pro pochopení dynamiky současné transformace filologie a strukturalistické metodologie, jež jsou diskutovány v závěrečné části. Další zásadní metodologický problém je metodologie literární historie. Ačkoli se představitelům pražských anglických studií podařilo překonat ztuhlost synchronních postupů, jejich zpracování dynamických struktur je stále značně poplatný tradičním pojetí funkce a hodnoty ._x000D_ Kniha je rozdělena do dvou částí: první se pokouší přehodnotit význam odkazu Mathesiuse (v literární teorii, historii a teorii překladu) a jeho následovníků (především Zdeňka Vančury a Jaroslava Hornáta), druhá zkoumá různé souvislosti a důsledky pražského strukturalismu, od politických aspektů ruských formalistických teorií, přes estetiku groteskní strukturalistické psychoanalýzy a nedávné textové genetiky._x000D_

eBook: Čemu věřit ve světě, který svým obyvatelům nabízí záplavu informací, názorů a postojů? Disponuje školní vzdělávání nástroji, které umožní se v této záplavě vyznat? Pomůže používání zdravého rozumu v boji proti dezinformacím? A nejsou metafory záplavy a boje použité v předchozích větách jazykovým prostředkem, který posouvá smysl celého sdělení od racionality směrem k emocionalitě? Společnost 21. století se musí vyrovnat s mnoha nástrahami. Jednou z nich je přesycení informacemi, ve kterých se laik téměř nemá šanci vyznat – zároveň je však každý postaven nejen před možnost, ale spíše povinnost vybrat si názorové stanovisko. Ve veřejné diskusi proto často dochází ke zjednodušování, komplexní témata jsou redukována na jednoduché teze a důkladnou analýzu nahrazuje dovětek tl;dr. Too long; didn’t read – příliš dlouhé; nečetl*a jsem.Esej se zabývá otázkou vztahu vzdělávání a hodnot, přičemž na příkladech práce s literárními texty zkoumá, jak rozvíjet porozumění, analytické dovednosti a ochotu vyhýbat se jednoduchým vysvětlením složitých témat.
