eBook: Shot through with his trademark humour, ‘Trying Conclusions’ is the fourteenth collection of poems from the lauded writer. Containing twenty-three poems, the topics vary wildly, from short verses on waiting rooms and fast cars to longer musings on his family, war, and the US Congress. Nemerov’s sense of the satirical is best seen in shorter offerings, where he takes a literary look at life from the other end of the telescope. A superb introduction to the works of one of the 20th Century’s most subversive scribes. Howard Nemerov (1920 – 1991) was an American novelist and poet, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978. His novels are characterised by the use of self-deprecating wit and an ongoing sense of irony. While his books tended to satirise 20th Century American life, his poems often focussed on the beauty and innocence of nature. In addition, Nemerov also worked as a scriptwriter, most notably on the film, ‘Tall Story,’ starring Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda.

Hailed as the greatest modern lyrical poet of Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke's genius lies in his passion for perfection, artistic integrity and `willingness to remain a perpetual beginner'. The verse contained in this selection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of his earliest works to the increasingly effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminates in the overwhelmingly personal vision of the famous `Duino Elegies' and `The Sonnets to Orpheus', in which his most intense experiences of living and being find their noblest expression.

eBook: Poetry can inspire, evoke, provoke and transport the reader. But this collection of 39 poems did even more - it broke barriers. This collection was written by Phillis Wheatley, the first African-American woman whose poetry writings were published. Seized from West Africa as a young girl, Phillis lived in Boston as a slave to the prominent Wheatley family where she learned to read and write, as well as undertaking lessons in the Bible, astronomy, geography, history and British, Greek and Latin Literature. By the age of 18, Phillis had amassed a decent quantity of poems and together with the Wheatley family, sought out a publisher. However, based on racial prejudices, Phillis was received with disdain in the United States. Attention was turned to London instead, where Phillis posted one of her poems, \'On the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield\', to Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon and a well-off supporter of the abolitionist cause, who connected her with a bookseller although Wheatley still had to go through interrogation to prove that she was the author of her own work.This collection of poems shows the breadth and depth of her reading, and includes poems reflecting her Christian faith, her interest in Greek mythology and her admiration for well-known figures including Alexander Pope.\'Poems on Various Subjects\' is perfect for people who have read \'The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano\'

Wilde went on to gift copies of the book to assorted dignitaries, including Albert Edward, the then Prince of Wales. The anthology is an insightful exploration of human emotions and a landmark in his career. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays.

eBook: Poetry is a window to the soul of the writer. In this collection of the poems of W. B. Yeats, the reader gets an insight into how Yeats' personality, priorities and style evolved throughout his life. And it's an incredibly fascinating journey. In this collection of 40 of his works, he writes about Irish legends and the occult, including the beautiful, haunting 'When You are Old' and 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'. Later poems are less lyrical and more political and realistic, including 'Parnell's Funeral'. This collection of perfect poems is great for fans of Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer. A driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, he also served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State. Fellow poet W. H. Auden credited Yeats with having written "some of the most beautiful poetry" of modern times. Many of his early poems featured Irish legends and the occult, while his later verse was more politicised and realistic. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

eBook: Can justice be forced on individuals and communities? The essays in this collection by Henry David Thoreau urge us to consider the difficult matter of how to counter the specific injustice manifested in the practice of buying and selling human beings and how to implement laws and practices that help establish justice. Of the many philosophical ideas Thoreau explores, the central concern is how to end slavery and provide justice for all. It is no surprise to find Thoreau defending the idea of civil disobedience, but his defense of John Brown, who used violence, including murder, commands our attention. The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s in the U. S. was heavily influenced by the rhetoric, the actions, and the overall philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr. , who famously combined civil disobedience and nonviolent action under the strong influence of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Although Gandhi staunchly defends and promotes the use of nonviolence, he is quick to condemn inaction as an even greater evil than violence. If forced to choose between doing nothing and using violence, he would choose violence; but his many writings and speeches are designed to show that we almost always have a nonviolent alternative to oppose injustice and foster justice. The lives of more than a billion residents of India have been profoundly shaped by the ideas Gandhi presents and defends in these selections from MY NONVIOLENCE. The liberation of India from British colonialism and the establishing of what Gandhi called "home rule" is powerful evidence of the role nonviolence can play in bringing about justice and eliminating injustice. Gandhi addresses not only matters of race and skin color but also the caste system and the social stratification that currently pervade the entire globe. These works by Thoreau and Gandhi consider the best way to promote justice and goodness not in utopia but in the actual world where we live.

eBook: \'Poems of 1820\' is a great reminder that some achieve greatness at an early age. John Keats was 24 when this collection of poems was published and it is wild, ecstatic, sensuous and thrilling. In classic Romantic style, he uses Greek mythology and pagan imagery in his poetry and veers from explosive short poems to sprawling epics. Both - and much more in-between - appear in this collection, which is a poignant reminder of what the literary world missed when he died at the age of 25. This is ideal reading for fans of the poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

eBook: Megalitické řady u Carnacu jsou nejzachovalejšími kamennými alejemi na světě, obsahují dnes něco přes 3 000 kamenných bloků. Jsou také velmi staré - nedávný výzkum datoval vyhloubení základů pro jeden obří menhir do 7. tisíciletí př. n. l. O lidech, kteří tyto kamenné monumenty vztyčili, se nedochovala žádná písemná ani ústně předávaná zmínka. Přesto - nebo právě proto - jejich stavby dodnes vzbuzují úžas. A jen pomalu odhalují svá prastará tajemství. Tato malá knížka, doprovázená řadou ilustrací a názorných plánků, se snaží zodpovědět klíčovou otázku: kdo tyto kamenné řady budoval a za jakým účelem.

eBook: Rok 1961 je v první řadě rokem velkých příběhů. Je to rok, kdy člověk poprvé vzlétl do vesmíru, ale také rok, kdy Berlín, Evropu i celý svět rozdělila zeď. První rok „šedesátek“ jako by svou ambivalentností předznamenával celé nadcházející desetiletí – desetiletí velkých nadějí i hlubokých zklamání. Hlavní jsou ale ty naděje. Svět se dívá dopředu, válečné i poválečné útrapy jsou zapomenuty a lidé věří, že navzdory mnoha problémům už bude jenom lépe. I na naší straně železné opony je o poznání víc optimismu. Zkracuje se pracovní doba, stavějí se nové školy, obchody nabízejí pestřejší sortiment, ale nejvíc je uvolnění znát v oblasti kultury. Vnučky se od babiček znovu učí moderní charleston, Karel Zeman natáčí film Baron Prášil – snímek až po okraj naplněný neuvěřitelnými nápady a triky – a na scénu populární hudby razantně vstupují Waldemar Matuška s Evou Pilarovou coby první představitelé generace, která ovládne československou pop-music na několik dalších desetiletí. Nová generace přebírá otěže i ve světové kultuře. Pravda, na první koncert The Beatles v Cavern Clubu dorazí jen osmnáct diváků, ale legendární příběh už může začít. Na nádraží v britském Dartfordu se potkávají spolužáci Mick Jagger a Keith Richards a s překvapením zjišťují, že je oba baví rock. V USA poprvé vychází „americký Švejk“, slavná Hlava XXII od Josepha Hellera, a na plátna kin vtrhne muzikál West Side Story, který určí pravidla muzikálové tvorby pro celé generace umělců. Zavzpomínejme tedy na rok, kdy Otto Wichterle s pomocí stavebnice Merkur dokončil vývoj kontaktních čoček, kdy na území lidojedů zmizel dědic rodiny Rockefellerů a počet obyvatel Země dosáhl tří miliard.
