Louisiana - Frances Hodgsonová-Burnettová - e-kniha
eBook: She had been at Oakvale Springs for two weeks. She was alone, out of her element, and knew nobody. The fact that she was a New Yorker, and had never before been so far South, was rather against her. On her arrival she had been glanced over and commented upon with candor.“She is a Yankee,” said the pretty and remarkably youthful-looking mother of an apparently grown-up family from New Orleans. “You can see it.”And though the remark was not meant to be exactly severe, Olivia felt that it was very severe, indeed, under existing circumstances. She heard it as she was giving her orders for breakfast to her own particular jet-black and highly excitable waiter, and she felt guilty at once and blushed, hastily taking a sip of ice-water to conceal her confusion. When she went upstairs afterward she wrote a very interesting letter to her brother in New York, and tried to make an analysis of her sentiments for his edification.

Through One Administration - Frances Hodgsonová-Burnettová - e-kniha
eBook: A wonderfully powerful and interesting story of modern life and political intrigues in Washington, full of dramatic intensity and vivid portraiture. As a story of Washington life, dealing largely with what might be called social politics, it is certainly a success. As a society novel, it is indeed quite perfect; for while full justice is done to the frivolity and hollowncss of society, and to the fatal effect upon the sweetest and brightest natures of too much society, there is shown delicate appreciation of the fair and noble side of the social culture which both springs from and develops loftiness of nature and generosity of soul.

Tajemná zahrada - Frances Hodgsonová-Burnettová, Kateřina Bažantová Ktaiwanita
Knížka, jejíž anotaci právě prohlížete, je až neskutečně krásná a pronikavě silná. Je z toho šafránově mála vyprávění, jimž člověk podlehne, ať je mu devět, třicet dva nebo sedmdesát osm let. Výjimečná knížka, příběh psaný pro čtenářky a právě tak pro čtenáře! Hned na počátku prožijeme hrůzu: Potom se začaly dít hrozné věci a Mary pochopila, co znamená tajemná atmosféra, která se vznášela nad oním ránem. Propukla totiž cholera. Rozpoutala se ve své nejhorší podobě a lidé padali mrtví k zemi jako mouchy. Chůva onemocněla hned první noc a právě kvůli její smrti se ozýval nářek z příbytků služebnictva. Než nadešel další den, zemřeli ještě tři sluhové a ostatní se v hrůze rozutekli pryč. Všude se šířila panika a v bungalovech umírali lidé. Z Mary se během několika hodin stává sirotek a za několik dní musí opustit koloniální Indii - jediný domov, který dosud poznala. Vydává se ke vzdáleným příbuzným do Anglie, jenže v jejich velkém tmavém domě, který má snad stovku většinou nepoužívaných, zamčených pokojů - nejméně jeden z nich ovšem ukrývá tajemství - se cítí, jako by zůstala na světě úplně sama. Zvlášť když člověk všude kolem narazí napřed na lány nudných zelinářských záhonů a za nimi pak na nekonečná pustá vřesoviště. Ještě věříte, že je to výjimečně krásná kniha? Sáhla do kapsy, vytáhla klíč a zjistila, že se do klíčové dírky hodí. Zasunula ho dovnitř a otočila jím. Musela klíč chytit oběma rukama, a nakonec povolil. Pak se zhluboka nadechla a podívala se na dlouhou cestičku za sebou, aby se přesvědčila, že tam nikdo není. Zřejmě tudy žádní lidé nechodí. Mary se znovu zhluboka nadechla, protože byla nervózní, odsunula dlouhý pohupující se břečťanový závěs a zatlačila do dveří, které se pomaličku otevřely. Mary vklouzla rychle dovnitř, dveře za sebou zavřela, zůstala stát zády k nim a rozhlížela se kolem. Dech se jí zrychlil vzrušením, údivem a radostí současně. Stála uvnitř tajemné zahrady. Život malé Mary a jejího bratrance Colina - ještě před chvílí to byli docela otravní a sobečtí jedinci - se navždy promění. Zláká je zahrada a život v ní se všemi nástrahami a háčky. Podaří se jim kdysi krásnou, ale teď zanedbanou zahradu s pomocí zkušenějšího kamaráda Dickona tajně vzkřísit, poznají ji jako živoucí a umíněnou bytost a pak zjistí, že rozkvétají spolu s ní a že se vlastně stal zázrak: V trávě pod stromy, v šedých kamenných nádobách na květiny, které stály ve výklencích a všude jinde, zářily zlaté, fialové a bílé flíčky. Na stromech nad nimi svítily růžové a sněhobílé květy. Všude se třepetala křídla, znělo sladké cvrlikání a bzukot a rozléval se bezpočet vůní. Tajemná zahrada je příběh o skrytých silách a zřejmých nádherách přírody, o jejím ohrožení a o úsilí, jež ji dokáže navrátit k novému životu, je to vyprávění plné tajemných náznaků, znepokojivých psychologických momentů, překvapivých odhalení a hlubokých, fantastických záhad. Vyprávění, jež se staví s porozuměním ke složitostem života, k otázkám dobra a zla a hlavně k nám, kteří ono dobro i zlo zosobňujeme. Příběh dostal už mnohokrát filmovou i televizní podobu a jeho muzikálové provedení okouzlilo Broadway. V nejnovější filmové verzi (2020) vynikají Colin Firth a mladinká Dixie Egerickx.

Homelessness among Young People in Prague - Marie Vágnerová, Jakub Marek, Ladislav Csémy - e-kniha
eBook: Undoubtedly, homelessness is an interesting phenomenon of today. It represents a clear social failure which can be viewed as a syndrome of a complex social failure. Everyone knows the homeless and sees them on everyday basis, but only few people know about them more than that they look neglected, drink alcohol and always sleep in various places. The reality is, however, in many respects different, primarily as concerns young people for whom the life in the street may be merely a temporary stage in their lives. The book entitled Homelessness as an Alternative Existence of Young People provides information about those who lost their background or even never had it. It is about life in the street and about what preceded it, about their attitudes to the various problems which they face, often unsuccessfully. Young homeless people are different and the stories and causes of their social downswing are also different. The description of life in the street where one loses his privacy, the possibility to satisfy his basic needs and often even self-respect shows what must be endured in order to survive. The second part of the publication is devoted to the opposite process: a return from the street to the society, and the difficulties that must be overcome in order to accomplish it. Often it is not merely about coping with one’s past stigma but also other consequences of non-standard life, such as drug addiction, criminal records or accumulated debt. The text is based on interviews with homeless people and represents and authentic picture of this social group in Prague.

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.

The Plastic People of the Universe - Půlnoční myš (Vinyl LP)
Vinyl LP Album The Plastic People of the Universe - Půlnoční myš (2022). Skupina, která změnila život mnoha lidem, vychází nyní i na LP. Podařilo se nám obstarat původní pásy, které geniální Mistr zvuku Ondřej Ježek ve studiu Jámor rozebral na prvočinitele a zase slepil dohromady, čímž dosáhl výrazně lepšího zvuku, vynikly detaily, o kterých jsme neměli ani tušení a vše obalil novou energií. A protože si myslíme, že legendou "o kapele, která svou hudbou porazila komunismus" bylo řečeno už vše a několikrát, soustředili jsme se opravdu na geniální hudbu Mejly Hlavsy, nadčasové texty a specifický sound kapely, který neměl ve světě obdoby. Vše jsme okořenili množstvím dobových fotografií, z nichž mnohé jsou zveřejněny poprvé a přibližují život "veselého ghetta" i nezasvěceným bez nutnosti obsáhlých komentářů. Každý titul má zcela nový obal, vždy jsme oslovili některého z výtvarníků, který měl ke kapele a jejímu uměleckému vyjádření blízko a snažili jsme se tím vytvořit kompaktní celek, který by propojil vše, co bylo na Plastic People unikátní a neopakovatelné.

The Pied Piper - Viktor Dyk - e-kniha
eBook: Básník, prozaik, dramatik a publicista Viktor Dyk se v této novele (časopisecky 1911–1912, knižně 1915) inspiroval starou saskou pověstí, již použil jako volný rámec pro vyprávění o tajemném poutníkovi, který na žádost občanů očistí svou píšťalou hanzovní město Hammeln od krys, avšak rozčarován malodušností konšelů a zrazen v lásce, zneužije píšťaly a odvede za trest celé město do zkázy. Protipólem postavy krysaře, osudově formovaného hrdiny, osamělého a neklidného snivce ztělesňujícího svět buřičů, je v knize rybář Sepp Jörgen, jenž se s realitou smiřuje a záchranou kojence dá vyrůst nové naději. Dyk v této novele, jež odráží novoklasicistní směřování jeho pozdní tvorby, tak dokázal využít staré předlohy k vytvoření svrchovaného prozaického díla o konfliktu iluze a skutečnosti. Jeho tajuplná atmosféra předznamenává pozdější baladickou prózu 30. let.

Behind the Lines - Jaroslav Hašek - e-kniha
eBook: V roce 1921, několik měsíců předtím, než Jaroslav Hašek začal psát Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka, popisuje v cyklu Velitelem města Bugulmy své životní zkušenosti s revolučním Ruskem. Obdobným způsobem, jakým se ve svých povídkách vysmíval předválečné C. a K. monarchii, zachycuje bývalý rudý komisař Hašek bolševickou revoluci. Před čtenářem se tak odehrává úsměvný příběh, v němž, v zapomenutém tatarském městečku Bugulma, vystupuje sovětský velitel tverského revolučního pluku, opilec Jerochymov a velitel města tovaryš Gašek. Skrze humor a nadsázku Hašek ukazuje jednak fanatismus revoluční doby, kdy v nešťastném roce 1918 se náhle vše "vymklo z kloubů", a jednak hloupost či prostou lidskou nejistotu nových vládců. Autobiografcký cyklus Velitelem města Bugulmy je dále doplněn o další Haškovy povídky z té doby.

The Lesser Histories - Jan Zábrana - e-kniha
eBook: From the eighth floor of a tower block in Central Europe, Jan Zábrana surveyed the twentieth century. He had been exiled from his own life by Communism. His parents were imprisoned, their health broken, and he was not allowed to study languages in college. Refusing both to rebel outright or to cave in, he thought of himself as a dead man walking. “To all those who keep asking me to do things for them, I sometimes feel like saying: ‘But I’m dead. I died long ago. Why do you keep treating me as if I were one of the living?’” Yet during some of Europe’s most difficult years, he wrote The Lesser Histories, a collection of sixty-four sonnets that range through themes of age, sex, and political repression—a radiant testament to his times. The lines are emptied both of personal pathos and political stridency. Often Zábrana’s own voice segues into those of poets he had translated over the years, leaving only a bare shimmer of subjectivity—humorous, oblique, pained—with which to view his own works and days. The poems document a splendid and bitter isolation, and are immersed in the humor, hatreds, and loves of the everyday. Published in Czech in the ill-fated year of 1968, they subsequently fell into neglect. After the fall of Communism in 1989, Zábrana’s collected poems and selected diaries were published in Czech, and he was acclaimed as a major twentieth-century writer. Now, with this collection, he can begin to reach English-language readers for the first time.

To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolfová - e-kniha
eBook: One family. One island. For ten years, the Ramsay family never miss a visit to the Isle of Skye. And tensions, trembles, and twists are never far away when a family comes together on holiday. But we’ll soon learn that things are never one-sided. You’ve got to deep dive into everyone’s perspective to truly unravel the riddle that is family love and life… We’ve got the motherly Mrs Ramsay, the mighty Mr Ramsay, and their eight mad and merry children. What could possibly go wrong? Virginia Woolf’s introspective ‘To the Lighthouse’ is the perfect read for fans of the novel's BBC radio 4 15-minute dramatisation by Linda Marshall Griffiths. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a hugely influential English writer and modernist of the 20th-century literature scene. A pioneer in the narrative device of streams of consciousness, Woolf’s breathtaking collection spans ‘The Waves’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’, ‘Orlando’ and the non-fiction title ‘A Room of One’s Own’. Ranging from the raw and real themes of war, shellshock, and witchcraft to the role and rise of social class in British society, Woolf’s literary output is a subject of intense interest for literature lovers and scholars alike.
