Vera; or, The Nihilists - Oscar Wilde - e-kniha

eBook: While Wilde might be better known for acidic and satirical comedies, such as 'The Importance of being Earnest,' and 'Lay Windemere's Fan,' his first outing as a playwright was in the realms of tragedy. Set in Russia, 'Vera; or, The Nihilists' follows the eponymous Vera on her journey from barmaid, to joining terrorist group, 'The Nihilists,' and becoming their top assassin. Inspired by real-life events, Wilde's play explores the idea that full commitment to an ideology can dehumanise almost anyone. While considered a tragedy, and with more than a whiff of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' about it, 'Vera; or, The Nihilists' is peppered with the playwright's trademark wit and caustic cynicism. A superb read for those who enjoyed the TV-Series 'Killing Eve' starring Jodie Comer and want to see how it all began for one of the 19th Century's most famous – and infamous - writers.

The Philosophy of Dress - Oscar Wilde - e-kniha

eBook: "Fashion is ephemeral. Art is eternal. Indeed, what is a fashion really? A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!" ‘The Philosophy of Fashion’ is the article that elevated Wilde from the position of a commercial journalist to a writer of repute. In this essay, Wilde dismantles the concept of fashion, with his characteristic wit and biting social criticism. Funny and fascinating, ‘The Philosophy of Fashion’ is a wry look at social conventions, through the eyes of a dedicated dandy. For anyone with an interest in fashion or works commenting on societal trends. 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. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.

For Love of the King - Oscar Wilde - e-kniha

eBook: Written by Oscar Wilde for his friend Mabel Cosgrove in 1894, For the Love of the King wasn't published until 1926 when Mrs Cosgrove handed the manuscript along with a covering letter to Wilde's posthumous publisher Methuen. The publication resulted in a trial when Methuen was sued by Wilde biographer Christopher Millard who was convinced the play and accompanying letters were forgeries and that the publisher was committing a fraud.Although For the Love of the King is in essence a play, in truth it is but a setting with a few added lines. The plot concerns the love of Shah Mah Phru, a beautiful girl, half Italian, half Burmese, for King Meng Geng, and ultimately the extents she will go to for the sake of that love. What marks this play out is less the plot than the settings, perhaps the most elegant of Wilde's imaginings.

The Portrait of Mr. W. H. - Oscar Wilde - e-kniha

eBook: There's been a long-standing argument in literary circles, surrounding Shakespeare's sonnets. The works are dedicated to 'Mr W.H.' and academics have debated as to who this elusive figure might be. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that the initials stand for 'Willian Himself.' 'The Portrait of Mr W.H.' sees Wilde give these sonnets a witty and wry autopsy, poring through them to find the identity of this shadowy dedicatee. However, this is a speculative fiction rather than an academic exercise, and Wilde creates a superb story in which a young actor might give a clue as to who Mr W.H. actually was. Ideal for fans of Shakespeare and Wilde, alike.

Ravenna - Oscar Wilde - e-kniha

eBook: ‘Ravenna’ is one of Wilde’s earliest poems, written while he was a student at Oxford in the 1870s. He submitted it as an entry for the Newdigate Prize, in which the subject for a poem was already set. As chance would have it, Wilde had already visited Ravenna in the previous year and had already begun work on a poem, celebrating the "much-loved city." Needless to say, Wilde won the Newdigate Prize, despite submitting his entry anonymously. A wonderful example of the poet at his most lyrical, ‘Ravenna’ was constructively criticised by the college’s Professor of Poetry. Wilde, of course, ignored him and the poem remains as he originally wrote it.

Politicization in the Natural Gas Sector in South-Eastern Europe: Thing of the Past or Vivid Present? - Jirušek Martin - e-kniha

eBook: Zhoršení vztahů mezi Ruskem a západními zeměmi v uplynulých deseti letech provázelo mimo jiné i vzájemné obviňování z politizace energetických dodávek. Rusko je v tomto smyslu nejčastěji obviňováno spotřebitelskými zeměmi, že dodávky energetických surovin zneužívá jako nátlakového nástroje k dosažení svých zahraničněpolitických cílů. Nejvyhrocenější spory se v tomto ohledu odehrály v souvislosti s přerušením dodávek ruského zemního plynu, které v lednu 2009 významně dopadlo zejména na region jihovýchodní Evropy. Dopad na státy v této části kontinentu byl tvrdý s ohledem na jejich závislost na energetických importech a struktuře ekonomiky. Autor v této knize odpovídá na otázku, zda Ruská federace skutečně zneužívá plynové dodávky jako mocenský nástroj a za jakých podmínek takovéto zneužití hrozí. Na případech 13 zemí zkoumá, na kolik Rusko skrze státem vlastněnou ruskou společnost Gazprom a její dceřiné společnosti jedná dle tzv. strategického přístupu k energetice, tj. zda tyto společnosti fungují jako nástroje ruské zahraniční politiky.

eBook: One is impressed in America, but not favourably impressed, by the inordinate size of everything. The country seems to try to bully one into a belief in its power by its impressive bigness."In 1881 Oscar Wilde boarded the "Arizona" and sailed to New York to embark on a year-long lecture tour. In 'Impressions of America' he examines the cultural differences between America and Britain. He notes, for instance, that the Americans aren't necessarily well-dressed but comfortably dressed. He argues that the American youth is more acceptive of new ideas because their education is more practical, and he recounts how unimpressed he was with Niagara Falls and the ugly yellow protective wear he had to put on. Like Charles Dickens' 'American Notes for General Circulation' from some forty years prior, this essay is both entertaining and thought-provoking

Uncertain eternity, or eternal uncertainty? - Karel Svačina - e-kniha

eBook: Tato kniha se zabývá sporem o plány na výstavbu hlubinného úložiště pro vysoce radioaktivní odpad v České republice. Od 90. let státní orgány vytipovaly několik míst, která by pro výstavbu úložiště mohla být vhodná. Záměr se však setkal s trvalým odporem dotčených obcí i neziskových organizací. Spor trvá bezmála dvě desetiletí, a dá se říci, že zatím nedošlo k výraznému posunu. Kniha podrobně rozebírá dotyčný spor na základě analýzy rozhovorů s klíčovými aktéry, pozorování z jednání a debat, vládních dokumentů či technických zpráv. S pomocí literatury vědních studií kniha analyzuje spor z hlediska toho, jak se v něm zachází s nejistotou a rizikem, a argumentuje pro posun z perspektivy založené na riziku směrem k perspektivě založené na nejistotě, jež by mohla pomoci spor odblokovat.

Názory a výsledky přírodních věd a tradiční archeologie se neshodují a jejich argumentace umísťují událost od poloviny 17. století až po konec 16. století před Kr., výjimečně i později. Práce analyzuje jednotlivé argumenty i metodologické přístupy a snaží se odpovědět na otázku neshody jednotlivých přístupů. Tzv. mínojská erupce (nebo santorinská katastrofa) ovlivnila nejenom životy lidí ve velmi širokém regionu, ale také globální klima. Jedná se tedy o klíčovou událost pozdní doby bronzové. Její přesné datování umožní synchronizaci regionálních chronologických systémů mediteránních a evropských regionů a tvorbu přesného časového rámce, který je nutností pro další řešení kauzálních otázek historie doby bronzové.

Global Competition or Convergence? - Jan Hornát, Lukáš Kindl - e-kniha

eBook: Dynamika vnitřních změn v Číně – ať už tyto změny mají dopad na národní ekonomiku nebo na politický řád a rozdělení moci – mají bezprostřední vliv na vztahy země se zbytkem světa. Důležitou otázkou ve vztahu ke vzestupu Číny tedy je, jak a do jaké míry vnitřní změny v zemi ovlivňují její vnější chování, a tedy i vztahy se současným světovým hegemonem, Spojenými státy. Na základě dvou specifických případových studií tato publikace zkoumá, co bude střet dvou politicky, kulturně a ekonomicky odlišných systémů USA a Číny znamenat pro jejich budoucí interakce v 21. století. První studie je zaměřena na ideologický střet dvou odlišných politických kultur; druhá studie se zabývá ekonomickým a geopolitickým střetem mezi USA a Čínou na africkém kontinentě. Publikace ukáže, že ačkoliv se systémy obou zemí a jejich zahraniční politiky často jeví jako neslučitelné, tyto rozdíly nebudou nutně předurčovat konflikty ve vzájemných vztazích. Spojené státy budou spolupracovat s Čínou, i když ta nebude splňovat standardy „západní“ liberální demokracie, a stejně tak střet zájmů v Africe nebude pro oba aktéry znamenat hru s nulovým součtem.

The Happy Prince - Oscar Wilde

In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late ‘Happy Prince’, who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn’t allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold.The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.

Queer Encounters with Communist Power - Věra Sokolová - e-kniha

eBook: How did the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia approach non-heterosexuality? How did young girls and boys come to realize their queer desires and identities within a state known for repressing individuality? What did they do with that self-awareness—and later on, as adults, what strategies did they employ in their everyday dealings with a state that defined homosexuality as a medical diagnosis? Queer Encounters with Communist Power answers these questions as it interweaves groundbreaking queer oral history with meticulous archival research into the discourses on homosexuality and transsexuality in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989.

Školní vzdělávání v Estonsku - Věra Ježková, Edgar Krull, Karmen Trasbergová - e-kniha

eBook: Analyticko-srovnávací studie Školní vzdělávání v Estonsku je pátou publikací řady Školní vzdělávání v zahraničí. Titulu předcházely publikace Školní vzdělávání v Německu, Školní vzdělávání ve Velké Británii, Školní vzdělávání ve Švédsku a Školní vzdělávání v Ruské federaci. Studie zachovává metodologický přístup užitý v těchto publikacích, tj. problémové pojetí (důraz na hlavní problémové okruhy školního vzdělávání) a dva pohledy na představenou problematiku: pohled „zvenku“, který poskytuje česká autorka, a pohled „zevnitř“, který zprostředkovávají estonští autoři. Těžiště studie tvoří problémy, které se jeví jako zásadní v estonském školním vzdělávání a jsou také aktuální pro rozvoj českého školního vzdělávání. Studie se skládá z osmi kapitol. První kapitola uvádí do širšího kontextu země, v němž změny školního vzdělávání probíhají; zvláštní pozornost je věnována historii země. Ve druhé kapitole je kladen hlavní důraz na cíle a principy nové estonské vzdělávací politiky, třetí kapitola představuje obnovený estonský vzdělávací systém a poskytuje i krátký pohled do historie estonského vzdělávání. Tématem čtvrté kapitoly jsou významné změny, jimiž prochází kurikulum základních škol a gymnázií. Pátá kapitola se zabývá problematikou evaluace vzdělávacího systému a vzdělávacích zařízení a hodnocení žáků. Šestá kapitola se věnuje aktuální a citlivé národnostní otázce ve společnosti a ve školním vzdělávání, sedmá kapitola podobně citlivé otázce jazyků a jazykového vzdělávání. V poslední, osmé, kapitole, podobně jako v předchozích studiích této ediční řady, dostávají prostor autoři „domácí“; přinášejí svůj vnitřní pohled na vývoj všeobecného vzdělávání v Estonsku za posledních 25 let. Publikace představuje příspěvek k literatuře z oblasti srovnávací pedagogiky, přinášející systematicky utříděné poznatky o zemi, která může být českému čtenáři v mnoha ohledech blízká. Je určena výzkumníkům a odborníkům v oblasti vzdělávání, vyučujícím i studentům pedagogických fakult a dalších fakult připravujících učitele, představitelům Ministerstva školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy České republiky i dalším pracovníkům působícím ve státní správě zabývajícím se vzděláváním.
