Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
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.

Do južných morí - 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.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
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.

eBook: ‘A Christmas Sermon’ is an emotional and powerful piece. Written by Stevenson as he recuperated from another lung issue outside New York, he ponders the questions of life, death, morality and man’s place in it all.

Louis Cazamian´s Theory of Humour - Miloš Ševčík - e-kniha
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.

The Brother of the Other - Radka Klvaňová - e-kniha
eBook: Kniha se věnuje kulturním procesům vyjednávání symbolických hranic přináležení v českém imigračním kontextu. Na základě kvalitativní analýzy biografických rozhovorů s přistěhovalci z Běloruska, Ukrajiny a Ruska žijících v České republice autorka zjišťuje, jak se utvářejí symbolické hranice přináležení skrze stigma v každodenních interakcích v sociálním a kulturním kontextu imigrace. Kniha si všímá rozporuplné kulturní reprezentace této skupiny migrantů v českém prostoru etnizovaných vztahů – zvláštního napětí mezi pozicí ‚Druhého‘ (‚Other) a ‚Bratra‘ (‚Brother‘) ve vztahu k Čechům. Toto napětí odráží minulé i současné procesy vytváření národa ve střední a východní Evropě, historické politické vztahy mezi socialistickým Československem a Sovětským svazem a migrační procesy v období po roce 1989. Kniha nabízí nový vhled do kulturního repertoáru českého imigračního kontextu a vyjednávání hranic češství.

The Birth of the State - Petr Charvát - e-kniha
eBook: This book targets the problems of emergence and stabilization of the earliest state bodies in the pristine statehood foci of the Old World - Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China. Charvát takes his readers through the essential economic, political and intellectual transformations induced in those societies by their transformations into early states. The author also provides a comprehensive view over the entire range of the discussed problems, attempting to perceive the process of establishment of the earliest states of the Old World in its complexity. The book gives the word to ancient statesmen, as well as to men of religion and letters of yore, voicing their alarm in crisis situations of their states, when they feared collapse of what they understood as "civilized society". Addressing their admonitions to kings, managers, generals and, where possible, the widest circles of society, such thinkers urged their contemporaries to defend the ideals on which their civilizations wer e built. The book is addressed to all those interested in the emergence and development of humankind´s earliest states including university students of humanity disciplines.

Spiritualita srdce - Louis Lallemant - e-kniha
eBook: Klasické dílo duchovního života od francouzského jezuity Louise Lallemanta (1588–1635) je blízké knižnímu titulu Jean-Pierre de Caussada, Odevzdanost do Boží prozřetelnosti. Louis Lallemant bývá řazen mezi důležité komentátory mystických autorů Terezie z Ávily a Jana od Kříže. Spiritualita srdce uspořádává základní témata každodenního života: hlubokou důvěru v pohyb života a tvořivou přítomnost živého Boha, dary Ducha Svatého a důležitost takzvané druhé konverze – obrácení člověka ke svobodě.

Louis Pasteur - František Gel - e-kniha
eBook: Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) byl francouzský biolog a chemik, jeden z nejvýznačnějších vědců 19. století. Navzdory chatrnému zdraví neúnavně pracoval a stal se doslova zachráncem hedvábnického průmyslu ve Francii i v dalších zemích, když odhalil původce moru bource morušového. Poslední třetinu života věnoval výzkumu nebezpečných infekčních chorob a jejich prevenci zejména očkováním. Vrcholem bylo vyvinutí vakcíny proti vzteklině, po předchozích pokusech na psech a pravděpodobně i na sobě samém. O tom všem vypráví Gelův životopis. Kromě autobiografických dat a detailního popisu Pasterových výzkumů, metod práce i sisyfovských bojů se zaslepenými odpůrci nabízí kniha vzrušující pohled do „zlatého věku“ mikrobiologie ve druhé polovině 19. století, do bohatýrské doby průkopníků tápajících v moři neznalostí a objevujících základní zákonitosti s nasazením, a někdy dokonce obětováním vlastního života.

eBook: Původní jmenný a věcný rejstřík ke Ginzbergovým Legendám Židů (Legends of the Jews) sestavil rabi Benjamin (Boaz) Cohen a publikoval jej – s velkým časovým odstupem od vydání samotného díla – až v roce 1938. České vydání jmenného a věcného rejstříku jsme nejen urychlili, ale i rozšířili.Rejstřík je tematicky členitější, ale (doufejme) přehlednější: čísla stránek běžného textu jsou vyznačena obyčejně, čísla stránek textu poznámek kurzívou, osobní jména uvedena kapitálkami.Zásadou je posloupnost dle původního textu. Nově zvolené rozčlenění je zaměřeno na praktičnost:Rejstřík A: hlavní rejstřík – je především jmenný a pokud jméno není vysvětleno přímo, je uveden alespoň odkaz na příslušný oddíl.Rejstřík B: rejstřík stvoření, přírody a Svaté země – tematicky zahrnuje Adama a Evu, Palestinu, Jeruzalém a další významná místa Svaté země, Chrám, živly, přírodu, světové strany, svět, zemi, nebe, peklo, ráj, kameny, zvířata a rostliny.Rejstřík C: rejstřík času, chronologie, kultury, liturgie a zvyklostí – tematicky zahrnuje denní doby, dny, týdny, míry, váhy, měsíce, roční období, astrologii, magii, kalendář, kulturu, zvyklosti, předměty, svátky, slavnosti, modlitby či kněžský úřad.Rejstřík D: rejstřík číselných údajů – podává numerické hodnoty, jež se v legendách objevily, v číselné posloupnosti.Rejstřík E: rejstřík vybrané polemiky a literatury – obsahuje některé zajímavé literární okruhy, ale opravdu jen vybrané; rozhodně si nečiní nárok na úplnost.Rejstřík F: odkazový rejstřík převážně biblických výrazů (hebr.), ale také výrazů talmudických, midrašických či targumických (aram.) psaných kvadrátním písmem.Rejstřík G: rejstřík symbolů – je utříděný v pořadí, v jakém jsou symboly popsány v jednotlivých dílech.Rejstřík přísloví: obsahuje přísloví uvedená v posloupnosti, v jaké se vyskytovala v jednotlivých dílech Ginzbergova díla.
