Darwin celý život litoval, že neumí malovat. Zato uměl psát, a tak se Petr Sís nechal inspirovat zejména jeho sugestivními popisy. Z úžasně propracovaných obrázků, rozsáhlých úryvků z deníků, náčrtků a map dal dohromady brilantní úvod ke studiu Charlese Darwina a jeho evoluční teorie. Nejdříve vidíme malého Charlese jako školáka, který miloval přírodu, ale nedokázal vyhovět otcovým představám o jeho budoucím povolání. Pak jako mladého studenta medicíny, jenž se stále protiví otcovu úsilí naplánovat mu budoucnost. A poté přijde cesta kolem světa, která z něho udělá přírodovědce. Z této pětileté plavby na palubě lodě Beagle se vrátil do Anglie se zkušenostmi a materiály, jež se staly základem jeho celoživotní práce a odkazu. Nové vydání knihy, která v roce 2004 získala zlatou medaili Ragazzi Award na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni jako nejlepší non-fiction publikace pro děti na světě a také cenu v soutěži Nejkrásnější knihy České republiky. Je to kniha krásná. Vynalézavě sestavená, nádherně ilustrovaná, z bohatých dokumentů čerpající, čtivě sepsaná, dobře přeložená, a přitom dětskému čtenáři přístupná. Potěší a poučí ale i dospělého. Je vděčná, protože informuje místy v takřka vědecké rovině, ale přitom nabízí i citlivý pohled na vědce - člověka, na jeho dětství, dospívání, přístup ke světu, názory na vzdělání, postoje k rodičům, kolegům a třeba i k manželství. Je to kniha módní, dá se říci interaktivní, protože přístupná v několika vrstvách, v různých možnostech nahlížení a čtení. (Jovanka Šotolová, iLiteratura)

Petr Sís ve své nejnovější knize pro malé děti proplétá legendární příběh Robinsona Crusoe se zážitkem z vlastního dětství. Po jednom školním maškarním bálu se hrdina ocitne na pustém tropickém ostrově, který se stane jeho novým domovem. Uprostřed exotické přírody se učí, jak nalézt potravu, postavit si přístřešek a obstarat vše potřebné k životu. Autor vytvořil poetickou a barvitou poctu klasickým dobrodružným románům i osvobozené barvě evropského fauvismu. Nádherně ilustrovaný příběh objevuje skutečnou hodnotu soběstačnosti, samoty a přátelství.„Dodnes jsem naplněn nadějí, kdykoli zahlédnu obrázek Robinsona, jak hledá cestu na osamělém pobřeží…“

Hrdina této knihy nepochybně existoval. Jmenoval se Jan Welzl. Když byl Petr Sís malý kluk, s obdivem četl o jeho polárních dobrodružstvích a snil o podobných výpravách. Svými obrázky se chtěl vyznat ze svého trvalého obdivu ke statečnému krajanovi, kterému se neříkalo jinak než Eskymo. Pro autora už navždy zůstane skutečný a upřímný svou touhou po svobodném, opravdovém životě, svou odvahou, smyslem pro spravedlnost a láskou k drsné přírodě. Mimořádně vizuálně pojatá kniha vychází znovu česky po třiceti letech od svého vzniku.

Po otevření červené krabičky najde Petr Sís deník, který si jeho otec psal, když v polovině padesátých let minulého století zůstal ztracen v Tibetu. Obrací křehké stránky popsané vybledlým písmem, doplněné hezkými kresbami, zkoumá malé poklady ukryté v deníku a bezděky se tak vydává na cestu do daleké země. Kousek po kousku odhaluje tajemství otcovy více než dvouleté cesty včetně setkání s tehdy osmnáctiletým Dalajlámou. Zároveň vzpomíná na malého chlapce, který toužil po tom, aby se mu táta vrátil, a vybavuje si fantastické příběhy, jež mu po svém návratu sám vyprávěl - příběhy, které zněly spíše jako pohádka než ze skutečného života.

Named retrospectively, the Golden Age was a period when the new Dutch Republic had become the most prosperous nation in Europe, leading in trade, science and art. From 1600 for almost a century, more than four million paintings were produced there, and the accomplishments in realism and naturalism by a large number of Dutch artists were unprecedented. These artists painted life as had never been seen before; their technical skills were often outstanding, and their art was distinctive in its depiction of lifelike objects, places and people of all ages and backgrounds. Unlike traditional Flemish and Italian Baroque paintings, Dutch artists in general avoided idealisation or portrayals of splendour, and instead developed their own unique and innovative styles, themes and subjects. The first section of this detailed book considers all this in a biographical guide to some of the greatest Dutch Golden Age artists and their work. Roughly chronological in order, it explains who the painters were, where they lived and worked, who and what taught and influenced them, and why their work was often groundbreaking. Among many others, included are Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Nicolaes Maes, Jan Lievens, Judith Leyster, Gerrit Dou, Gerrit van Honthorst, Adriaen Brouwer, Jan Steen, Hendrick Avercamp, Jacob van Ruisdael, Pieter de Hooch, Johannes Vermeer and Rachel Ruysch. While most are discussed, some do not appear, as even in this substantial book, there is room for only a proportion of the exceptionally proficient painters of the period. The second part of the book is a gallery of outstanding works from a range of Dutch Golden Age artists, grouped into the broad themes of landscapes, portraits, genre, history and religion, and still life - giving a fascinating, colourful and in-depth overview of what constituted the art of the period. With more than 500 reproductions, you can dip in and out of this beautifully illustrated volume, or peruse it from cover to cover. All paintings are located to their museum or gallery. This volume is essential reading for anyone who would like to learn more about the extraordinary flowering of art during the Dutch Golden Age, and a book that you will turn to over and again.

With its rich colours, towering height and luminous needles, the tree was a scientific marvel, beloved by the local Haida people who believed it sacred.The Golden Spruce tells the story of the sadness which pushed Hadwin to such a desperate act of destruction - a bizarre environmental protest which acts as a metaphor for the challenge the world faces today. But it also raises the question of what then happened to Hadwin, who disappeared under suspicious circumstances and remains missing to this day.Part thrilling mystery, part haunting depiction of the ancient beauty of the coastal wilderness, and part dramatic chronicle of the historical collision of Europeans and the native Haida, The Golden Spruce is a timely portrait of man s troubled relationship with a vanishing world._______________________ Worthy of comparison to Jon Krakauer s Into the Wild . . .

In this revolutionary new book that blends insights from Eastern and Western traditions, spiritual guide and YouTube sensation Aaron Abke shows that enlightenment and liberation from suffering are not lofty and unattainable goals — they are our destiny Aaron Abke’s personal journey has taken him from evangelical Christian pastor to fitness model to one of America’s top spiritual thought leaders. Along the way, a profound awakening inspired by Eckhart Tolle drove him to the metaphysical insights he presents in his revolutionary first book. The Three Beliefs of Ego is a riveting exposition of the nature of suffering and a guide to spiritual freedom built on Abke’s reimagining of the concept of ego. Though it’s often treated as an enemy to be conquered, he instead sees the ego as a product of three core beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. These beliefs then give rise to the primary emotions of sadness, anger, and fear — the root causes of human suffering. From this paradigm-shifting premise, Abke takes readers on an inward journey to transcend these three beliefs and clear a path to inner peace. Central to this approach is Abke’s groundbreaking Emotional Guidance System, a powerful yet practical tool for pinpointing the ego’s three core beliefs as they shape our thoughts and actions. Blending principles drawn from both Western and Eastern traditions, the simple practice outlined in the book provides a comprehensive and down-to-earth route to “no-reason happiness,” which is accessible to seekers at any stage of their journey. Built on clear and transformative insights, The Three Beliefs of Ego is truly a blueprint for practical enlightenment and lasting spiritual liberation.

Once upon a time, on the edge of a big dark forest there lived a little girl called Goldilocks. You have probably heard of her? If so, you will know three things: she was small, she had lots of golden curls and she had far too much curiosity for her own good. So when Goldilocks discovers an intriguing wooden cottage deep in the forest, she just can t resist peeking inside. Now why would there be one, two, three of everything . . .? Lauren Child brings her trademark innovative approach to this wonderfully warm and witty retelling of the classic cautionary tale, and adds her own clever twist. Following the success of The Princess and the Pea, she once again joins forces with award-winning portrait photographer Polly Borland, whose stunning photography brings this truly original picture book startlingly to life. They are joined by a talented theatre designer, Emily Jenkins, who has designed and created an enchanting hand-crafted miniature world. The sets for the book took over a year to make. The doll-sized cottage, complete with winding staircase, stands about a metre tall. Real turf was grown for the roof. Special wallpaper and fabrics were designed and printed, featuring woodland motifs. Exquisite miniature furniture, including the three bears beds, chairs and porridge bowls, were carved, crafted and painted by Emily and her team of designers. Tiny slippers were sewn, cushions stuffed and bed linen edged and folded. The tiny spoons were carved specially - even the porridge is real!The cast of characters were made by world-famous doll maker, R. John Wright, whose dolls and bears sell to collectors all over the world. Goldilocks is 30 centimetres tall and made of soft felt with hand-painted features; her golden locks are made of the softest mohair. She arrived from America complete with a tiny hand-woven basket of felt daisies, which you can see her carrying in the book. Mother, Father and Baby Bear are all made from the softest fur and have tiny resin claws. Father Bear arrived with a hand-carved wooden pipe, which, if you look very closely, you can spot in the pictures, warming by the fire.

Towering over the rest of Greek tragedy, Sophocles The Three Theban Plays are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written. This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Robert Fagles with introductions and notes by Bernard Knox.Collected here are Antigone, Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus, in a translation by Robert Fagles which retains all of Sophocles lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the surge and majesty of his choruses and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters. Oedipus in exile, searching for his identity, desperately trying to avoid his fate, seeking the truth of his origins and achieving immortality; his daughter, Antigone, defending her integrity and ideals to the death - these heroic, tragic figures have captivated theatregoers and readers since the fifth century BC. It is Sophocles characterisation of Oedipus that would, in the nineteenth century, inspire Sigmund Freud to a revolutionary conception of the human mind, and the tragedies in this volume continue to move and inspire us to this day.Sophocles (496-405 BC) was born at Colonus, just outside Athens. His long life spanned the rise and decline of the Athenian Empire; he was a friend of Pericles, and though not an active politician he held several public offices, both military and civil. The leader of a literary circle and friend of Herodotus, Sophocles wrote over a hundred plays, drawing on a wide and varied range of themes, and winning the City Dionysia eighteen times; though only seven of his tragedies have survived, among them Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Ajax and Oedipus at Colonus.If you enjoyed The Three Theban Plays, you might like Aeschylus The Oresteia, also available in Penguin Classics.

A rich industrialist with enemies among the anarchist factions on the far left, Walter Wilkinson could have been targeted by any number of groups.

Some say she haunts the Claremont still.The many threads of the case keep leading Sullivan back to the three remaining Bainbridge heiresses, now adults: Irisâ ™s sister, Isabella, and her cousins Cassie and Nicole.

Franz Beckenbauer – known as ‘the Kaiser’ – is Germany #39;s greatest-ever footballer and one of the game #39;s biggest icons of all time, a World Cup winner as player and manager. But what is often described as a blessed life has in fact been a rollercoaster ride with stunning highs and bitter lows. He rose to fame at the 1966 World Cup in England, where after West Germany’s final defeat the British press marvelled at the grace of a ‘beaten but proud Prussian officer’. Yet there was nothing Prussian about the Bavarian boy who flouted authority, disregarded rules and viewed the traditional German work ethic with the disdain of someone to whom everything comes naturally. After a glittering early career at Bayern Munich – captaining them to three European Cup victories and pioneering the playmaking libero role in central defence – Beckenbauer made a controversial move to the recently formed New York Cosmos in 1977. Praised as ‘the greatest’ by none other than Muhammad Ali, he gently warded off overtures from Rudolf Nureyev and partied the night away with Mick Jagger and Grace Jones at Studio 54. Back home, though, people often wondered what to make of this most famous German athlete who was so un-German. Beckenbauer’s country had finally learned to love him by the time he managed the national side to World Cup glory in 1990, but allegations of corruption surrounding Germany’s successful bid to host the 2006 World Cup have made him a controversial figure all over again. In The Three Lives of the Kaiser, leading football writer Uli Hesse gives us the definitive biography of this truly remarkable legend.

Mingling fact and fiction, The Three Rimbauds imagines how Rimbaud⠙s life would have unfolded had he not died at the age of thirty-seven. The myth of Arthur Rimbaud (1854⠓1891) focuses on his early years: how the great enfant terrible tore through the nineteenth-century literary scene with reckless abandon, leaving behind him a trail of enemies, the failed marriage of an ex-lover who shot him, and a body of revolutionary poetry that changed French literature forever. He stopped writing poetry at the age of twenty-one when he left Europe to travel the world. He returned only shortly before his death at the age of thirty-seven.  But what if 1891 marked not the year of his death, but the start of a great new beginning: the poet⠙s secret return to Paris, which launched the mature phase of his literary career? This slim, experimental volume by Dominique Noguez shows that the imaginary ⠜mature⠝ Rimbaud⠔the one who returned from Harar in 1891, married Paul Claudel⠙s sister in 1907, converted to Catholicism in 1925, and went on to produce some of the greatest works in twentieth-century French prose⠔was already present in the almost forgotten works of his childhood, in style and themes alike. Only by reacquainting ourselves with the three Rimbauds⠔child, young adult, and imaginary older adult⠔can we truly gauge the range of the complete writer.
