Tolstoy named it after Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, and the story was banned in both Russia and the US, prompting Theodore Roosevelt to call Tolstoy a "sexual moral pervert." Anyway, enjoy!

She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren's call impossible to resist.And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos's love-an emotion he's incapable of feeling-she won't survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn't get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.

Greek Gods in the East - Ladislav Stančo - e-kniha

V abecedně řazeném přehledu jsou zde pojednána jednotlivá základní ikonografická schémata, která si umění těchto oblastí vypůjčilo z helénistického Středomoří. Můžeme srovnat, jak se jednotlivá typická vyobrazení řeckých božstev v průběhu staletí měnila a přizpůsobovala vkusu i představám místního obyvatelstva. Vedle toho se řada původně řeckých mytologických postav i s jejich obvyklými atributy stala, jak je zde názorně ukázáno, základem pro zobrazení různých místních – íránských, indických i jiných – božstev.

Instability in the Middle East - Karel Černý - e-kniha

eBook: Blízkovýchodní nestabilita se vnějškově manifestuje různými způsoby: krizí vládnoucích režimů, vzestupem politického islámu, terorismu, revolucí, občanských válek či rostoucí migrací a zhroucením řady států. Kniha nabízí výklad kořenů této nestability s pomocí teoreticky původní a empiricky podložené historicko-sociologické srovnávací analýzy. Zatímco ve výkladech vývoje post-koloniálního Blízkého východu dosud dominovaly dvě protichůdné teze – jde o region zaostalý, neměnný a rigidní, nebo naopak proměňující se až příliš rychle – kniha nabízí alternativní perspektivu vycházející z vysoce nerovnoměrného a nesynchronizovaného tempa změn v jednotlivých dimenzích blízkovýchodní modernizace. Dochází zde totiž k (1) rychlé socio-demografické změně (razantní růst populace a podílu mládeže, prudká urbanizace, expanze médií a vzdělanosti), (2) pomalejší, nestabilní a zaostávající změně ekonomické (závislost na exportu ropy, vysoká nezaměstnanost) a (3) pomalé až regresivní změně politické (eroze schopnosti států vládnout, absence demokratizace i liberalizace). Teoretický model studie je vybudován s pomocí kritického čtení teorií modernizace a koncepce rozmanitých modernit, která umožňuje zohlednit také širší kulturně-náboženský a mezinárodně-politický kontext blízkovýchodní nerovnoměrné modernizace. Teoretický model je poté empiricky testován s pomocí časových řad (1960-2010) několika desítek indikátorů, které pokrývají demografickou, sociální, ekonomickou i politickou dimenzi modernizačního procesu. To autorovi umožňuje provádět čtyři typy komparací míry nerovnoměrnosti blízkovýchodní post-koloniální modernizace: (1) blízkovýchodní modernizace a modernizace v dalších post-koloniálních makro-regionech, (2) nerovnoměrnosti jednotlivých fází samotné blízkovýchodní modernizace, (3) jednotlivých států uvnitř blízkovýchodního regionu s důrazem na vzájemné srovnání zemí arabských, (4) post-koloniální blízkovýchodní modernizace s ranou modernizací západoevropskou. Poslední krok analýz představuje přechod od makro-úrovně nerovnoměrné strukturální změny k mikro-úrovni sociálních a politických aktérů a jejich jednání. Jejím výsledkem je identifikace více než padesáti dílčích kauzálních mechanismů, které ve strukturálním rámci nerovnoměrné modernizace generují politickou nestabilitu. Celkově se kniha nesoustředí, jak je často zvykem, na vnějškově sledovatelné politické aktéry a jejich souboje. Nýbrž na pod povrchem politického soupeření probíhající hluboké a dlouhodobé kumulativní demografické, sociální a ekonomické změny. Na změny, které neprobíhají pouze v jednotlivých zemích Blízkého východu, nýbrž jdou od konce 2. světové války napříč celým regionem a dnes ve svém souhrnu dávají vzniknout zcela novému Blízkému východu než byl ten, na který jsme byli dlouhá desetiletí zvyklí.

Adventures in the Stone Age - Leopold Jaroslav Pospíšil - e-kniha

eBook: When Leopold Pospíšil first arrived in New Guinea in 1954 to investigate the legal systems of the local tribes, he was warned about the Kapauku who reputedly had no laws. Dubious that any society could exist without laws, Pospíšil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku. Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among the Kapauku, Pospíšil discovers that the supposedly primitive society possesses laws, rules, and social structures that are as sophisticated as they are logical. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and fled the Communist regime, Pospíšil has little patience for the notion that so-called advanced civilizations are superior to the ‘stone age’ society in which he now lives. On the basis of his research and experiences among the Kapauku – he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 – Pospíšil pioneered in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on the Kapauku law. As Jaroslav Jiřík and Martin Soukup write in their afterword, however, “His three previously published works are about the Kapauku; this one is about the anthropologist among the Kapauku.” The memoir is filled with charming anecdotes and thrilling stories of trials, travels, and war – told with humor and humility—and accompanied by a wealth of the author’s personal photos from the time.

War and Peace IV - Leo Tolstoy - e-kniha

eBook: Moscow is lost, occupied by Napoleon's French hordes. Is Russia lost? Is all lost? Students of history will already know the answer. But whether or not you do, Leo Tolstoy's 'War and Peace IV' is an extraordinary and epic telling of what happened next. Through the eyes of the Russian soldier-aristocrat Pierre, we see mercy and inhumanity behind the lines. He even embarks on a plot to assassinate Napoleon. Spoiler he failed. On the home front, the strands are tied together with death, marriage and hope. But will there be a happy ending after 15 years and 1,000 pages? Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece is a complete semester of Russian and French history, using the zoom button to focus on its impact on families from the aristocracy to the peasants. It paints a picture of petty jealousy, pride and forbidden love in the Russian stately homes. If you like costume dramas and the novels of Jane Austen ('Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility'), this is the granddaddy of them all. The same goes for fans of Bernard Cornwell's 'Sharpe' novels and TV series', starring Sean Bean.'War and Peace' was made into a BBC TV series in 2016, written by Andrew Davies and starring Lily James and James Norton.

War and Peace III - Leo Tolstoy - e-kniha

eBook: The third quarter of 'War and Peace' is where the rubber really hits the road (or the cannonballs hit the walls). The story centres on one of history's most famous periods, Napoleon's March on Moscow. The leading characters are involved in plotting Russia's tactics, fighting on the front - or guarding their estates against the expected overrunning by French soldiers. Tolstoy evocatively describes the futile slaughter of war, in some of literature's most dramatic chapters ever written. He also brings Napoleon to life as he arrows in on the famous general. At the end of the Battle of Borodino, two of the main characters are missing, presumed dead. It is a real cliffhanger for 'War and Peace IV'. Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece is a complete semester of Russian and French history, using the zoom button to focus on its impact on families from the aristocracy to the peasants. It paints a picture of petty jealousy, pride and forbidden love in the Russian stately homes. If you like costume dramas and the novels of Jane Austen ('Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility'), this is the granddaddy of them all.

War and Peace II - Leo Tolstoy - e-kniha

eBook: Have you taken a deep breath after the drama and conflict of volume one? It's time to dive into 'War and Peace II' - and it does not slow down. With Russia bruised by Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, Tolstoy goes for close-ups of the three main male characters, Pierre, Nikolai and Denisov. It is not entirely pretty. Amidst the backdrop of Tolstoy's philosophical discussions on life and death and the inevitability of war, the characters become embroiled in gambling debt, love triangles, intrigue and broken promises. There are more twists than Chubby Checker and more dramatic moments than in 'EastEnders'. Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece in four volumes is a complete semester of Russian and French history, using the zoom button to focus on its impact on families from the aristocracy to the peasants. It paints a picture of petty jealousy, pride and forbidden love in the Russian stately homes. If you like costume dramas and the novels of Jane Austen ('Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility'), this is the granddaddy of them all.

Vlastné meno vo svetle teoretickej onomastiky: Proper Names in the Light of Theoretical Onomastics (978-80-7090-905-8)

Kniha - autor Vincent Blanár, 158 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Monografická štúdia predstavuje isté zavŕšenie autorových teoreticko-metodologických výskumov vedy o vlastných menách. Medzi základné pojmy patria lingvistický a onomastický status vlastného mena, vlastné meno ako jazykový znak sui generis, vzájomná spätosť obsahovej a formálnej stránky onymického znaku, pojem a termín funkčný člen. Vyabstrahovanie špecificky onymických príznakov umožnilo modelovanie vlastných mien. O tieto pojmy sa opiera funkčné a štruktúrne poňatie vlastných mien a ich sústav. Existenčným poľom vlastných mien je ich fungovanie v spoločenskej komunikácie. Sústava vlastných mien a jej fungovanie v spoločenskej komunikácie sú dve stránky jednej mince.
