Disdainful of America s booming commercialism and industrialism, Henry David Thoreau left Concord, Massachusetts, in 1845 to live in solitude in the woods near Walden Pond. Walden, the account of his stay, conveys at once a naturalist s wonder at the commonplace and a Transcendentalist s yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance.

Objev podobné jako Walden and Civil Disobedience - Henry Thoreau

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into a cabin in the woods at Walden Pond to record a philosophical experiment in living: to simplify his life, to support himself entirely by his own labor, and to draw spiritual sustenance from his surroundings. The result: Walden: Or, Life in the Woods (1854). In 1846, Thoreau refused to pay a mandated poll tax, refusing to support a government that protected slavery and had launched an aggressive war against Mexico. In his essay “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau argues that it is the duty of every citizen to disobey immoral laws—and willingly suffer the legal consequences for doing so.

Circle: ⠜God is a circle whose center is everywhere but whose circumference is nowhere.⠝ Circle means perfection, cyclicity, superiority of the divinity, but also instability and movement. In nature soap bubbles are spherical and internal trees⠙ rings are circular; the legend tells that Giotto drew a perfect O, while perfection is tangible on Michelangelo⠙s Tondo Doni and Botticelli⠙s Vergine col Bambino. King Arthur⠙s knights were pairs around a round table, and nowadays people sit in circle to make a decision or watch a show. Bruno Munari selects and describes in this little, extraordinary encyclopedia, several uses of this fascinating and mysterious form, unstable and hieratic at the same time. Square:Square has much importance in man s life: a lot of churches, monuments, games (like chess), and fonts are square-based. But man seems not to realise it... one more time Bruno Munari amazes us with an historical, anthropological, scientific square book. Triangle:From the vegetable structure of the coconut to the diagram of human settlements by Le Corbusier, one can frequently find the shape of the equilateral triangle in many different occurrences, both in a natural environment and in artificial works. Along with the circle and the square, the equilateral triangle is one of the three basic forms, and is suitable to be combined in modular frameworks to generate a structured field in which endless other combinatorial forms may be constructed. From classical Arab and Japanese decorations to the contemporary architecture of Buckminster Fuller and Wright, the familiarity with the equilateral triangle, in all its formal and structural resources, generates curious and fascinating experimentations. After the books of the same collection dedicated to the circle and the square, a new reprint by Bruno Munari about the many uses of this evocative shape throughout the centuries. These studies were originally published in 1976 in the series Quaderni di design, curated by Munari himself for Zanichelli.

Přední a oceňovaný český violoncellista Jiří Bárta přináší na svém novém albu komplet Bachových cellových suit. Jiří Bárta se vrací k k repertoáru, který nahrál již před 23 lety, obohacen o mnoho životních i interpretačních zkušeností, a to ve zcela novém pojetí - pro nahrávku tentokrát použil barokní violoncello se střevovými strunami, čímž celkové vyznění skladby přiblížil její pravděpodobné originální podobě - namísto expresivity přichází spíše meditace a zklidnění. Bárta ke kompletu přistupuje jako k šestivěté symfonii ( Vzpomínám na chvíli, kdy jsem před lety hrál komplet poprvé. Bylo to jako zjevení: jednotlivé suity se mi zpodobnily v dokonalém tvaru jako symfonie o šesti větách, jako příběh života o šesti kapitolách; naprosto logická a prokomponovaná skladba. ) a nácviku nového provedení a přípravě studiové nahrávky věnoval mnoho času a interpretační i zvukové péče.

Six young women lie asleep on low beds. Day and night no longer exist, extinguished by a potent cocktail of antipsychotic, sedative and anti-depressant drugs. The women are taken from their beds by the nurses and given electroconvulsive therapy before being put to sleep again. All under the predatory eye of Dr William Sargant.THE SLEEP ROOM is a chilling exposé of Sargant s bizarre psychiatric treatments that were inflicted on hundreds of women with mental illness - among them the actor Celia Imrie. At the story s centre is a sinister and charismatic doctor, who was a hugely influential figure in post-war British society - lauded by Robert Graves and Aldous Huxley as well regularly appearing on the BBC. When Sargant died in 1988, the obituaries were glowing.But since then, women treated without their consent and with often horrific side-effects lasting decades have been campaigning to tell the truth about Sargant. Author Jon Stock tells these women s stories as well delving into the murky history of Sargant s links with the CIA and M15, both of which took a close interest in his efforts to reprogramme the human mind.As compulsive as a thriller, The Sleep Room finally gets to the truth of a scandal at the heart of the British medical establishment. A devastating account of the effects one unchecked psychiatrist had on vulnerable mental patients.

At 12.08pm on Friday 31 January 1919, Margaret Buchanan drives her tram into George Square in Glasgowâ ™s city centre. She slows down to avoid the youths and men holding their arms up to stop her; some even jump onto the front of her tram. Swirling around her tram is a sea of heavy-coated men who have been on strike since Monday, demanding a reduction to a forty-hour working week. Crucially, the tram workers have not joined the strike; they are being abused as â ˜scabsâ ™. Constables and officers of Glasgowâ ™s police force use their hands to try to part the crowd to allow the tram to proceed, but their efforts fail and batons are drawn. Within minutes, the violence will have spread across and beyond the Square; men will have been injured; the Sheriff will have read the Riot Act; strike leaders will lie stunned and bleeding inside the City Chambers; policemen and protestors will lie beaten in the streets. The violence and destruction in the Square, the streets to the north and south, in Glasgow Green and even south of the River Clyde, involves thousands of men. The city authorities believe the situation is beyond the control of the outnumbered police; the Sheriff sends a message to the local army commander requesting assistance. For the first time in history, tanks will be despatched as â ˜military aid to the civil powerâ ™. They will be accompanied by 10,000 soldiers. At approximately 12.30pm on Friday 31 January 1919, a century of myth-making commences. Using thousands of pages of court papers, memoirs and news reports, this book is the first attempt to tell the story of what happened in day-by-day detail.

Unlocking the 1000-year old mysteries of the Brotherhood Freemasonry is part of a long tradition of Western mysticism, steeped in an enduring and eclectic mixture of historical fact and legend. Much of the ritual and symbolism prevalent in Freemasonry has developed over many centuries and relies heavily on notions inherited from the customs and practices of medieval stonemasons. In this absorbing book, the history and legends of the Freemasons – from links with the Knights Templar, their explorations into alchemy and the hermetic tradition, through the age of Enlightenment and the founding fathers of the USA, to the Victorians and up to the present day – are discussed alongside the mystical symbolism of the Square and the Compass, the Five-pointed Star, the All-seeing Eye, and the Sun and the Moon. Illustrated throughout, this intriguing account will appeal to anyone interested in this ‘secret’ Brotherhood.

A defiant splatterpunk body horror on the Inneracy of theological doctrine, in the context of recovery, addiction, death grieving. A kind of reverent aching. A glorious descent into havok profanity.Exploring what god is to an addict, The Bible II is a gory, surreal How-Not-To-Guide for alcoholics coming to terms with their own saviour complex in absence of traditional methods of recovery.Saints, Apostles, Whales all things Holy are warped, re-examined, chewed appropriated into something more fitting for the modern climate. Pianos erupt through bodies through half remembered or halfway forgotten conversations; people become buildings their dereliction;everyone is scarred replete with teeth but everyone is worthy of Redemption it just depends how. Mixing violent, aching prose with experimental forms, the grotesque sublime play off each other in tangible ways that makes the apocalypse both personal revelatory. Owing as much to Giallo films as it does to Hardcore Punk Bands like Orchid Circle Takes The Square as well as the wildness of poets like Fran Lock, Daniel Borzutzky Joelle Taylor this unsettling mediation grows to a crescendo of hope, if you ve the temerity to reach out grab it.Exploring how culpability is dealt with in regards to making amends to the ghosts of past lives, whilst living through a mass extinction event of our own making. despite the gallows humour frank brutality moments of tenderness shine in amongst the maelstrom of words that translates Samâ ™s frenetic explosive performance style to the page. The poems bleed into each other reframing narratives held up as gospel with the context of perspective as each page turns creating new understanding.The world is ending but if you need something a little more holy to guide your soul wherever you think you are heading this might be it.

Audiokniha: Americký filozof a básník Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) je považován za zakladatele přírodního eseje v moderní světové literatuře. V letech 1845-1847 se dobrovolně nastěhoval do osamělé lesní chaty, kterou si postavil na břehu jezera Walden v americkém státě Massachusetts - a po sedmi letech pak vydal o tomto svém pobytu svědectví v podobě pozoruhodné knihy Walden aneb Život v lesích. Nejsou to však útržkovité deníkové zápisy pozorování přírody nebo záznamy osobních pocitů a dojmů; jde o výjimečnou duchovní autobiografii s promyšlenou kompozicí Člověk je tím bohatší, čím méně má věcí, o které se musí starat. Šel jsem do lesů, poněvadž jsem chtěl žít uvážlivě, utkat se s podstatou života. Nechtěl jsem žít tím, co není život, vždyť žití je cosi tak vzácného, a nechtěl jsem žít odevzdaně - to jen kdyby nic jiného nezbývalo. Přál jsem si žít všemi smysly a zcela vysát morek života, žít tak zásadově a spartánsky, abych se odpoutal od všeho, co není život. Thoreau líčí život spjatý s přírodou, dva roky prožité uprostřed massachusettských lesů ve srubu postaveném vlastníma rukama. Jeho pohled je inspirující a naléhavě aktuální...

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.⠜I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. ⠝⠔ Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Walden is his personal account of the experience, in which he documents the beauty and fulfilment to be found in the wilderness, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define our modern world.

In Walden, Thoreau explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle—and only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being. These simple but profound musings—as well as “Civil Disobedience,” his protest against the government’s interference with civil liberty—have inspired many to embrace his philosophy of individualism and his love of nature. More than a century and a half later, his message is more timely than ever.

Emerging relatively unscathed from the banking crisis of 2008, China has been viewed as a model of both rampant success and fiscal stability. But beneath the surface lies a network of fissures that look likely to erupt into the next big financial crash. A bloated real-estate sector, roller-coaster stock market, and rapidly growing shadow-banking sector have all coalesced to create a perfect storm: one that is in danger of taking the rest of the worldâ ™s economy with it.Walden Bello traces our recent history of financial crises â “ from the bursting of Japanâ ™s â ˜bubble economyâ ™ in 1990 to Wall Street in 2008 â “ taking in their political and human ramifications such as rising inequality and environmental degradation. He not only predicts that China might be the site of the next crash, but that under neoliberalism this will simply keep happening. The only way that we can stop this cycle, Bello argues, is through a fundamental change in the ways that we organise: a shift to cooperative enterprise, respectful of the environment, and which fractures the twin legacies of imperialism and capitalism.Insightful, erudite and passionate, Paper Dragons is a must-read for anyone wishing to prevent the next financial meltdown.
