Roger Federer - Chris Bowers
Roger Federer is not only one of the greatest tennis players ever to pick up a racket - if not the greatest - but he is one of the global icons of our time.

Živý mýtus Roger Federer - Hanuš Milan
O "nejlepším tenistovi všech dob" vyšla již řada publikací a článků, převážně od sportovních novinářů, ale pohled Milana Hanuše je v tomto kontextu ojedinělý stylem i pojetím. Vedle sportovní stránky totiž čtenáři přibližuje také psychologické pozadí tenisové hry i výjimečný způsob, jakým právě Roger Federer dokázal fenomenálně rozvinout svůj talent. V první části knihy nazvané Mýtus cesty autor líčí silný sportovní příběh Rogera Federera jako zvláštní variaci hrdinského mýtu, který je v kolektivní duši stále velmi živý a přitažlivý. Milan Hanuš využívá svých znalostí archetypální psychologie a pouť švýcarského sportovního hrdiny a tenisového génia osvětluje pomocí působivých obrazů, paralel a kulturních souvislostí, které čtenáři podává velice poutavou a srozumitelnou formou. Svědčí o tom názvy jednotlivých kapitol: Daimon, Démonie, Šprýmař a rebel, Zasvěcení, Hra o trůn, Djoker komplex, Rytíři Kulatého stolu apod. Pojednání jedinečné sportovní osobnosti na pozadí hrdinského mýtu dává autorovi možnost k velmi invenčnímu a neotřelému výkladu i stylu vyjadřování. Druhá část knihy má název Mýtus hry a je věnována klíčovým zápasům a "velkým epickým bitvám", které Roger Federer sváděl se svými stejně slavnými protivníky Rafaelem Nadalem, Novakem Djokovičem, Andym Murrym a dalšími.

Mistr Roger Federer a jeho brilantní kariéra - Christopher Clarey
Podle The New York Times vypráví tento bestsellerový životopis životní příběh nejikoničtějšího hráče moderní éry. Sice existují další biografie Rogera Federera, ale nikdy žádný s takovým blízkým přístupem k hráči, jeho podpůrnému týmu a nejvýraznějším postávám tenisové hry, včetně takových rivalů jako jsou Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovič, či Andy Roddick. V knize "Mistr" si korespondent The New York Times Christopher Clarey sedl s Rogerem Federerem a jeho nejbližšími, aby vyprávěli příběh největšího hráče mužského tenisu. Roger Federer předváděl tenis neuvěřitelně lehce déle než dekádu a to krásným nápřahem u bekhendu, klouzáním do forhendu, při smečích ve výskoku popíráním gravitace a zůstával vysoko na světových stupních vítězů ve sportu právem zaplaveného cynismem. Jeho cesta od temperamentního odbarveného teenagera s pochybným stylem až k jednomu z největších, nejvyrovnanějších a nejelegantnějších světových hráčů tenisu, kteří vládli dlouhodobě vůlí a ne osudem, je inspirující. Měl nejen velký talent, ale i drzost. Christopher Clarey je jeden z předních mezinárodních sportovních spisovatelů současnosti a Federerovi se věnuje od počátku jeho kariéry. Byl přítomný na Roland Garros na kurtě Suzanne Lenglenové na Federeově prvním grandslamovém zápase a exkluzivně s ním udělal nejvíce rozhovorů než kterýkoliv jiný novinář od jeho vzestupu na výsluní.

The Absent Father Effect on Daughters - Susan E. Schwartz
Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those ...

On The Abolition of All Political Parties - Simone Weil
An NYRB Classics Original Simone Weil—philosopher, activist, mystic—is one of the most uncompromising of modern spiritual masters. In “On the Abolition of All Political Parties” she challenges the foundation of the modern liberal political order, making an argument that has particular resonance today, when the apathy and anger of the people and the self-serving partisanship of the political class present a threat to democracies all over the world. Dissecting the dynamic of power and propaganda caused by party spirit, the increasing disregard for truth in favor of opinion, and the consequent corruption of education, journalism, and art, Weil forcefully makes the case that a true politics can only begin where party spirit ends. This volume also includes an admiring portrait of Weil by the great poet Czeslaw Milosz and an essay about Weil’s friendship with Albert Camus by the translator Simon Leys.
