'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' GuardianSimone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.

Kniha - autor Naomi Wolf, 128 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In the struggle for women's equality, there is one subject still shrouded in silence - women's compulsive pursuit of beauty. The myth of female beauty challenges every woman, every day of her life. Naomi Wolf exposes the tyranny of the beauty myth through the ages and its oppressive function today, in the home and at work, in literature and the media, in relationships between men and women, between women and women. With pertinent and intelligent examples, she confronts the beauty industry and its advertising and uncovers the reasons why women are consumed by this destructive obsession.

First published in 1967, this book consists of three short novellas on the theme of women's vulnerability – in the first, to the process of ageing, in the second to loneliness, and, in the third, to the growing indifference of a loved one. THE WOMAN DESTROYED is a collection of three stories, each an exquisite and passionate study of a woman trapped by circumstances, trying to rebuild her life. In the first story, ‘The Age of Discretion’, a successful scholar fast approaching middle age faces a double shock – her son’s abandonment of the career she has chosen for him and the harsh critical rejection of her latest academic work.‘The Monologue’ is an extraordinary New Year’s Eve outpouring of invective from a woman consumed with bitterness and loneliness after her son and her husband have left home. Finally, in ‘The Woman Destroyed’, Simone de Beauvoir tells the story of Monique, trying desperately to resurrect her life after her husband confesses to an affair with a younger woman. Compassionate, lucid, full of wit and knowing, Simone de Beauvoir’s rare insight into the inequalities and complexities of women’s lives is unsurpassable.

Novela z roku 1964, která vyšla česky jedinkrát v roce 1967, v mnohém překročila svou dobu. Autorka v ní líčí posledních několik týdnů života své matky. Téměř reportážní až naturalistické líčení fyzického a mentálního chátrání člověka je spojeno s bilancováním vztahu mezi matkou a dcerou. Péče, kterou se Simone snaží v posledních týdnech poskytnout své matce, je svědectvím o její lidskosti, touze přenést se přes všechno špatné, připravit jí skutečně snesitelný odchod, ale zároveň je to velké duchovní cvičení. Autorka je ledově upřímná, jako by chápala, že jen pravdivost ve vztahu k matce jí umožní vymanit se z nánosů stereotypů, rodinných falší, toxických vztahů. Vystupuje tak za všechny dcery, které řeší svou široce chápanou emancipaci, jež vykračují zpoza Stínu, které na ně matky vrhají. Zachovává si nicméně pořád něhu, láskyplnost, soucit, trpělivost, umocňované tím, jak pokračuje matčino fyzické chátrání.Pozoruhodná novela Velice lehká smrt Simone de Beauvoir promlouvá po téměř šedesáti letech možná víc než v době svého vzniku. Je nejen reportáží o posledních dnech života, zajímavou i co se technických a medicínských aspektů celého procesu týče a vývoje, k němuž v této oblasti došlo. Popisuje řadu jevů, s nimiž se ve vztazích uvnitř rodiny setkal skoro každý, bez sentimentu a falešné úcty obnažuje patologické rysy, manipulace, zákeřné stereotypy, čímž ilustruje mnohé z toho, co už dnes přece jen vešlo do širšího povědomí. To vše v literárně výjimečné, sevřené a pronikavé formě. Cílem autorky nicméně není jen bořit, neboť v centru jejího zájmu je koneckonců celou dobu člověk a jeho důstojnost. Nesmířenost se smrtí a až živočišný boj za život, vyplývající z autorčina filozofického přesvědčení, je zároveň inspirujícím bojem za svobodu v životě, nespoutanou patologiemi, které rodí společnost a mezilidské vztahy, i vztahy mezi rodiči a dětmi. Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986) byla významná francouzská spisovatelka a filozofka, autorka řady klasických děl evropské literatury a myšlení.

Je revais d'etre ma propre cause et ma propre fin ; je pensais a présent que la littérature me permettrait de réaliser ce vou. Elle m'assurerait une immortalité qui compenserait l'éternité perdue ; il n'y avait plus de Dieu pour m'aimer, mais je brulerais dans des millions de cours. En écrivant une ouvre nourrrie de mon histoire, je me créerais moi-meme a neuf et je justifierais mon existence. En meme temps, je servirais l'humanité : quel plus beau cadeau lui faire que des livres ? Je m'intéressais a la fois a moi et aux autres ; j'acceptais mon "incarnation" mais je ne voulais pas renoncer a l'universel : ce projet conciliait tout ; il flattait toutes les aspirations qui s'étaient développées en moi au cours de ces quinze années.

Secretly Sylvie believes that Andrée is a prodigy about whom books will be written. The girls become close. They talk for hours about equality, justice, war and religion; they lose respect for their teachers; they build a world of their own. But they can't stay like this forever.

This revised and expanded second edition brings together the uncollected short fiction of the poet, writer and religious philosopher Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Of the fifty-four stories in the present volume, only thirty-five were published in his lifetime. Most of the rest appear in this collection for the first time.Crowley was a successful critic, editor and author of fiction from 1908 to 1922. Like their author, his stories are fun, smart, witty, thought-provoking and sometimes unsettling. They are set in places in which he had lived, and knew well: Belle Epoque Paris, Edwardian London, pre-revolutionary Russia and America during the First World War.The title story The Drug stands as one of the first accounts - if not the first - of a psychedelic experience. His Black and Silver is a knowing early noir discovery that anticipates an entire genre. Atlantis is a masterpiece of occult fantasy that can stand with Samuel Butler's Erewhon.Frank Harris considered The Testament of Magdalen Blair the most terrifying tale ever written. This second edition adds several additional stories, including the Qabalistic allegory Ambrosii Magi Hortus Rosarum, featuring the author's previously unpublished annotations. Extensive editorial end-notes give full details about the stories.

Kniha - autor Mikki Kendall, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it.

Kniha - autor Mikki Kendall, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?...

Nejnovější album česko - irské kapely Pipes and Pints s názvem The Second Chapter. Album stojí na klasickém zvuku Pipes, ale nebojí se ani jiných žánrů. "Od posledního alba jsme bohatší o sedm let životních i hudebních zkušeností. Na nové desce tak zazní vše, co máme rádi," přibližuje kapelník Vojtěch Kalina. Novou desku kapela nahrávala v pražském Barrandov Sound a berlínských Red Bull Studios. "Irský zpěvák Travis O'Neill přinesl do kapely větší cit pro melodické linky a tím se i celkový zvuk posunul více do roviny celtic rockové kapely. Z menších klubů teď Pipes sebevědomě míří na velká pódia, otevírají se širšímu publiku, ale současně si zachovávají tvář," podotýká producent Yarda Helešic. Tracklist: 1.

This volume is an in-depth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the Second Age of Middle-earth, one of the least-explored periods of Arda's history.The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age, is the follow up companion to the best-selling The Illustrated World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkien's sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.

Kniha - autor Mariam Khan, 272 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In 2016, Mariam Khan read that David Cameron had linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the "traditional submissiveness" of Muslim women. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were neither Muslim, nor female? Years later the state of the discourse has deteriorated even further, and Muslim women's voices are still pushed to the fringes—the figures leading the discussion are white and male. Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It's Not About the Burqa is poised to change all that. Here are voices you won't see represented in the news headlines: 17 Muslim women speaking frankly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a...

Kniha - autor Laurence Rees, 528 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.
