utopia stephanie roza

Until the Age of Enlightenment, utopia was a popular literary genre, but without concrete political effects. However, in the decades leading up to 1789, its status gradually changed from an entertaining thought experiment to a socialist project. Imagining the ideal city took on the task of articulating revolutionary transformation of society towards equality and social justice.In Utopia, Stéphanie Roza explores the nascent ideal of a community of property and labour, not yet called communism, and the thinkers who engaged with it in the lead-up to the French Revolution. These philosophers included Étienne-Gabriel Morelly, a fierce critic of private property and the mysterious author of the Code de la Nature; the Abbé de Mably, a radical republican and interlocutor of Rousseau; and Gracchus Babeuf, who, from the 1780s onwards, defended the natural right to subsistence and dreamed of a more fraternal world.Together, they laid the foundations for modern socialist movements. In the crucible of the French Revolution, ‘real equality’ became the goal of a handful of conspirators gathered around Babeuf, who had meanwhile become the ‘tribune of the people’. The Conspiracy of Equals was considered by Marx to be ‘the first active communist party’: the hopes and questions that ran through the group prefigured those of the militants of later periods, including today.

In Thomas More’s hugely influential Utopia, a traveller recounts his discovery of an island nation in which the inhabitants enjoy unprecedented social cohesion and justice. The book imagines a community in which laws, personal relations and professional ambition are based on reason, in contrast with the tradition-bound superstitions of Europe, which were, in More’s eyes, impediments to equality and peaceful coexistence. One of the indicators of the profound cultural and political influence of More’s masterpiece is today’s common use of the word “Utopia” – a term he invented. This extraordinary treatise on the values of rationality and reason – here presented in a sparkling new translation by Roger Clarke and accompanied by copious notes and additional texts – questions what a philosopher can do to enact change in society, and how idealized visions can inform political practice. A sparkling new translation by Roger Clarke of one of the most influential philosophical works of all time, which renders the original Latin into an English that is clear, readable and true to the spirit of Thomas More’s writing. Accompanied by: Biographical notes on contemporary figures and an index explaining More’s Utopian vocabulary; a map of the island of Utopia; correspondence relevant to the text (as well as letters of endorsement and even celebratory verses), written by numerous prominent sixteenth-century European humanists. These letters – presented chronologically and translated from Latin – work in conjunction with the detailed notes on Thomas More’s life, the genesis of Utopia and information about the verse metres employed to offer a unique and fascinating insight into the composition and publication of Utopia, which no student of the text should be without. Moreover, they offer a glimpse not only into the character of More, Erasmus and other members of their circle, but also into the world in which they inhabited. Our edition, therefore, offers unprecedented background detail for an accessible mass-market edition.

Kniha - autor Thomas More, 120 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Prvý slovenský preklad diela Thomasa Mora Utópia (vyšlo r. 1516 v Antverpách) obohatí náš knižný trh o nosné klasické dielo, ktoré sa dostalo do učebníc, no doposiaľ u nás z neho vyšli len fragmenty. Toto je teda v slovenčine prvé kompletné vydanie. Rozprávanie o živote na fiktívnom ostrove Utópia sa začína stretnutím troch postáv, medzi ktorými sa rozprúdi rozhovor tvoriaci vlastný obsah diela. Thomas More a Peter Giles počúvajú rozprávanie fiktívnej postavy, „scestovaného“ Rafaela Hythlodaya o vzdialených krajoch. Dielo Utópia pozostáva z dvoch kníh a záveru a autor naznačuje, ako ho treba chápať. Priznáva, že jeho úlohou bolo len podať istý pohľad na svet bez toho, aby sa s ním stotožnil. Zároveň používa iróniu, ktorá mu umožňuje zaujať stanovisko a pritom nezmeniť Rafaelovu výpoveď. Štát Utópia tvorí 54 miest, pričom každému sú pridelené polia, na ktorých sa rozvíja...

From one of the world's leading economists, a grand narrative of the century that made us richer than ever, yet left us unsatisfied.Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would use such powers to build utopia, but it was not so. When 1870-2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming, economic depression, uncertainty, inequality, and broad rejection of the status quo.Slouching Towards Utopia tells the sweeping story of how this unprecedented explosion?of material wealth?occurred,?how it transformed the globe, and?why?it?failed to deliver us to utopia.?Of remarkable breadth and ambition,?it?reveals how the last century was much less?a march of progress?than?a slouch?in the right direction.

''It remains astonishingly radical ... one of Utopia''s most striking aspects is its contemporaniety'' Terry EagletonIn Utopia, Thomas More gives us a traveller''s account of a newly-discovered island where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based on natural reason and justice, and human fulfilment is open to all. As the traveller describes the island, a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the practices of Europe. How can the philosopher reform his society? In his discussion, More takes up a question first raised by Plato and which is still a challenge in the contemporary world. In the history of political thought few works have been more influential than Utopia, and few more misunderstood.Translated and introduced by Dominic Baker-Smith

The sharp and surprising true story of a woman who finally sets out to understand her past, and the mother she had one day hoped to forget. Full of unexpected twists and unbelievable revelations, American Daughter is an immersive memoir that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.For years, Stephanie Plymale, successful CEO and interior designer, kept her past a fiercely guarded secret. Only her husband knew that her childhood was fraught with every imaginable hardship: neglect, hunger, poverty, homelessness, truancy, foster homes, a harrowing lack of medical care, and worse. Stephanie, in turn, knew very little about the past of her mother, who was in and out of jails and psych wards for most of Stephanie''s formative years. All this changed when a series of shocking revelations forced Stephanie to revisit her tortured past and revise the meaning of every aspect of her compromised childhood.American Daughter is the extraordinary true story of a young girl growing up on the wrong side of the American Dream. Stephanie has slept in blankets on the floor of crowded apartments, lived in the back seat of a car with her siblings, and spent decades looking over her shoulder at a mother who might just as easily hug or harm her. American Daughter is at once a moving account of a troubled mother-daughter relationship and a meditation on resilience, transcendence, and ultimately, redemption.

Nejnovější román Davida Mitchella přichází jako samostatný, osobitý příběh, zároveň ale i jako další díl "nadrománu" jejž autor píše po celý dosavadní život. Tématem a stylem se od závratného mnohovýznamového Atlasu mraků nebo od Tisíce podzimů Jacoba de Zoeta liší, je pevně a s příjemnou konkrétností zasazen do šedesátých let - jde o román o dospívání. UTOPIA AVENUE není ani zdaleka jen mistrně odpozorovaným portrétem hudební scény v Soho na přelomu 60. a 70. let. Zajímá ho, odkud se berou autorské nápady a jak potom putují světem - popová hudba mu k tomu nabízí ideální příležitost. "Myslím, že většina spisovatelů závidí hudebníkům přímý kontakt s publikem a okamžité ocenění," říká v jednom rozhovoru, "musí to být nádherný pocit! Ať vymyslím jakkoli skvělý výjev, ať napíšu jakkoli dokonalý odstavec, nikdy, nikdy, nikdy tuhle drogu neokusím. Když před publikem přečtete něco nového , co se vám opravdu povedlo, je to jen dost slabá náhražka". Kdo v románu UTOPIA AVENUE dospívá, je hudební skupina stejného jména, "nejpodivnější britská kapela, o které jste v životě neslyšeli", a román líčí nejen její vzestup, ale i pád. V první části kapela získává úspěch, nadšené fanoušky a pořádný kus proslulosti… jenže nikoli spravedlivý díl štěstí. Mitchell s dokonalým vcítěním odkrývá pod tlustou vrstvou slávy i její skrytou tvář: z cesty svedené ambice, poraněné duše, lidské ztráty i působení náhod. Muzikanti cítí čím dál větší napětí mezi požadavky publika, odměnami z provozování umění a na druhé straně změtí protichůdných sil závazků, obav ze selhání, kruté nostalgie a na dřeň jdoucího smutku. Láska přichází a promarněna mizí, smrt přichází znenadání. Puzení k hudbě, k jejímu tvoření, je ale nevysvětlitelně stálé, nedá se mu odolat.

From the author of the international bestseller Debt: The First 5,000 Years comes a revelatory account of the way bureaucracy rules our lives Where does the desire for endless rules, regulations, and bureaucracy come from? How did we come to spend so much of our time filling out forms? And is it really a cipher for state violence? To answer these questions, the anthropologist David Graeber--one of our most important and provocative thinkers--traces the peculiar and unexpected ways we relate to bureaucracy today, and reveals how it shapes our lives in ways we may not even notice...though he also suggests that there may be something perversely appealing--even romantic--about bureaucracy. Leaping from the ascendance of right-wing economics to the hidden meanings behind Sherlock Holmes and Batman, The Utopia of Rules is at once a powerful work of social theory in the tradition of Foucault and Marx, and an entertaining reckoning with popular culture that calls to mind Slavoj Zizek at his most accessible. An essential book for our times, The Utopia of Rules is sure to start a million conversations about the institutions that rule over us--and the better, freer world we should, perhaps, begin to imagine for ourselves.

A practical and uplifting vision of better ways to live together, own property, have families and raise children, from the author of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism.''Kristen Ghodsee is back with another splendid insight: utopia can and ought to be an everyday thing. In every home. Invigorating writing for a cheerless era'' YANIS VAROUFAKIS''History is made by the dreamers ... A must-read'' THOMAS PIKETTY---The traditional ''nuclear'' family home is a problem: it places unfair and unnecessary burdens on women (and men too), it entrenches inequalities, it entraps us financially and it hinders certain kinds of child development. Also, it doesn''t seem to make us very happy.And yet throughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living - from the all-female ''beguinages'' of medieval Belgium to the matriarchal ecovillages of contemporary Colombia; from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras, where men and women lived as equals and shared property, to present-day Connecticut, where new laws make it easier for extra ''alloparents'' to help raise children not their own. Some of these experiments burned brightly and briefly; others are living proof of what is possible.Everyday Utopia upends our assumptions and raises our sights by gathering these and many more inspiring examples together, arguing that many of the most important and effective ways of changing our lives and the world are to be found in the home. The result is a radically hopeful and practical vision of more connected - and contented - ways of living.''Liberating and inspirational, a sweeping feminist history of society at its most creative'' ADA CALHOUN, author of Why We Can''t Sleep

''To find citizens ruled by good and wholesome laws, that is an exceeding rare, and hard thing.''Thomas More''s Utopia presents an account of an idealised fictional society that has fascinated readers since its first publication in Latin in 1516. It is a scathing critique of More''s contemporaries and a hopeful portrait of a better world; a ridiculous satire of the rich and powerful, and a personal exploration of what constitutes a good life.This edition is based on the first English translation of Utopia, produced in the mid-sixteenth century, allowing readers to understand how More was read on publication and the effects of the translator''s changes upon the book''s legacy. The introduction by Joanne Paul provides insights into More''s context and intentions, exploring why this work has been so influential in modern utopian literature and in political theory through the ages.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Dvadsaťosemročná Stephanie Landová snívala o štúdiu na univerzite. Jej sen sa však rýchlo rozplynie, keď v lete zistí, že je tehotná. Krátko nato ju opustí otec dieťaťa a ona zostáva na všetko sama. Aby prežila a zabezpečila svojej dcérke najzákladnejšie potreby, musí vziať aj najpodradnejšiu prácu. Slúžka je emocionálne drsná, majstrovsky napísaná výpoveď o autentických rokoch, ktoré autorka prežila ako upratovačka v službách pre americkú vyššiu strednú vrstvu. Upratovačka v tomto zmysle znamenalo byť „neviditeľná ako duch“, byť tichým svedkom úspechov, tragédií a najhlbších tajomstiev svojich klientov, no súčasne byť prehliadaným, niekedy ponižovaným, no hlavne ignorovaným človekom. Pritom sa však snaží vyhrabať zo svojej sociálnej mizérie, bojovať o svoju ľudskosť a dostať sa na štúdium na vysokej škole. Je to dielo o tom, ako človek dokáže vďaka svojej nezdolnej húževnatosti prekonať príkoria života na potravinových lístkoch, podporných sociálnych programoch, ale prekonať aj odcudzenosť svojich najbližších. Nad všetko ostatné je príbeh Stephanie Landovej obrazom odvrátenej strany tzv. amerického sna, kde byť chudobným znamená byť poznačeným stigmou. Kniha bola podkladom úspešného seriálu spoločnosti Netflix, ktorý si pozrelo 67 miliónov domácností na celom svete.

Freelance Programmers employed women to work on complex projects such as Concorde''s black box recorder from the comfort of their own home. Shirley empowered a generation of women in technology, giving them unheard of freedom to choose their own hours and manage their own workloads. The business thrived and Shirley gradually transferred ownership to her staff, creating 70 millionaires in the process.Let It Go explores Shirley''s trail blazing career as an entrepreneur but it also charts her incredible personal story - her dramatic arrival in England as an unaccompanied Kindertransport refugee during World War Two and the tragic loss of her only child who suffered severely from Autism.Today, Dame Stephanie Shirley is one of Britain''s leading philanthropists, devoting most of her time, energy and wealth to charities that are close to her heart. In Let It Go, Shirley tells her inspirational story and explains why giving her wealth away - letting it go - has brought her infinitely more happiness and fulfilment than acquiring it in the first place.Co-written with Richard Askwith, the former Executive Editor of The Independent and the award-winning author of seven books in his own name, including biographies of Emil Zátopek and Lata Brandisová.''An extraordinary tale of creativity and resilience'' - Guardian''This engrossing story of an extraordinary life is filled with lessons in what it means to be human'' - Financial Times

A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange’s career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician’s repertoire. First, she traces Solange’s progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist’s development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. With this record and, then, When I Get Home (2019), Phillips describes how Solange has embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art.Why Solange Matters not only cements the subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first-century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A Good Morning America Book Club Pick A New York Times Most Anticipated Books of Fall From the New York Times bestselling author who inspired the hit Netflix series about a struggling mother barely making ends meet as a housecleaner, a “raw and inspiring” (People) memoir about college, motherhood, poverty, and life after Maid.When Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir Maid, she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019, he called it an “unflinching look at America’s class divide…and a reminder of the dignity of all work.” Later, it was adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid, which was viewed by sixty-seven million households and was Netflix’s fourth most-watched show in 2021, garnering three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Stephanie’s escape out of poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. Maid was a story about a housecleaner, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In Class, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system, food insecurity, the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn’t understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties. Class paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college? And what kind of work is valued in our culture? In clear, candid, and moving prose, Class grapples with these questions, offering a searing indictment of America’s educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother’s triumph against all odds.

Autor- futurista, Shakespeare sci-fi žánru, vizionársky predvídal celý rad vynálezov, napr. nástup lietadiel a tankov, cestovanie do vesmíru, jadrové zbrane, satelitné televízie, náznak webovej siete , laser, stroj času, neviditeľnosť, biologické inžinierstvo – vivisekciu, mimozemskú inváziu – teda motívy, ktoré sa neskôr stali súčasťou žánru sci-fi knihách a filmoch, ale mnohé aj súčasťou reality.
