Ženský román - Bennett Arnold

Bennettovo dílo Ženský román (v orig. Old Wives Tale) patří ke klasickým dílům anglické literatury - např. kritik John Carey jej v knize Pure Pleasure zahrnul do svého výběru padesáti kvalitních a zároveň čtenářsky nejvděčnějších románů 20. století. Nový český překlad Ženský román se v názvu snaží tak jako originál o ironickou dvojznačnost. Bennett si do titulu vypůjčil lehce pejorativní idiomatické spojení (česky nejspíše babská povídačka ), ale pojal ho v doslovném smyslu a skryl pod něj psychologicky nesmírně propracovaný příběh (tale) o životě dvou povahově odlišných sester a později manželek (wives). Mezi jejich společným dětstvím a stářím sleduje osudy jedné z nich v rodném Staffordshiru a druhé v Prusy obléhané Paříži a všímá si přitom zdánlivě všedních, a přece magických i traumatických okamžiků lidského života, jež jsou nezávislé na velkých ději

Be Useful - Arnold Schwarzenegger

The seven rules to follow to realise your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.The world s greatest bodybuilder. The world s highest paid movie star. The leader of the world s sixth largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident.Arnold s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold s father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father s adage close to his heart.Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold s toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

Trish Arnold - Lizzie Ballinger

All you have is yourself, no words, no script in hand, no music to dance to, nothing to hide behind. It was just me â “ the pure expression of my desire. Trish Arnold (1918-2017) was a pioneer in the field of movement. Her work stands alongside that of movement practitioners such as Litz Pisk, Jacques Lecoq and Rudolf Laban in its influence on international theatre, film and drama-school training. Until now, her practice has never been written down in its entirety, but has been passed from body to body, through one-to-one teaching between movement practitioners.Lizzie Ballinger s intimate and groundbreaking book provides the first full exploration of Arnold s movement training for actors, focusing on the context, practice and evolution of Arnold s work, and its legacy in theatre-making today. Beginning with Arnoldâ ™s journey into theatre from a dance background, Ballinger describes her own mentorship with Movement Director and Choreographer Jane Gibson, Arnold s first mentee, and provides a detailed and honest reflection on how she learned to teach this work.Supplemented throughout by beautiful illustrations of her movements, alongside Arnold s original notes and sketches, this book gives a clear and concise explanation of how to embody Arnold s movements.

British Architecture - Arnold Dana

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring British Architecture: A Very Short Introduction presents an original and engaging overview of the architecture of the British Isles, from medieval times to the present day. Avoiding the traditional approach of a chronological survey of architects and architectural style, each chapter presents a thematic exploration of key aspects of British architecture that endure across time and still have relevance today. Arnold uses illustrated chapters to aid appreciation of the artistic and cultural significance of British architecture and how it operates as a barometer of social trends. Arnold also highlights the ways in which architecture can project national and regional identities.British architecture tells of the intrinsic nature of Britishness and is an important means of understanding Britain s connection with the rest of the world. There is no doubt about the international significance of the work of recent and contemporary British architects. But Arnold also relates how a preoccupation with the past has been a constant theme in design thinking and practice. A thematic, historical understanding of British architecture in terms of its form and purpose explains much about the society and culture for which it was built. Architecture continues to shape patterns of living and social interaction and responds to new demands. Equally, debates about how best to express the nation through its architecture reveal much about Britain s perception of itself and how this is expressed at home and abroad. Finally, Arnold explores how subsequent generations can offer new interpretations and meanings that change our view of British architecture s legacy.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Kultura a anarchie - Matthew Arnold

Ačkoli Arnold rozvíjel ty myšlenkové postupy, které se již ustavily v jeho spisech o vzdělání, o roli kritiky a o studiu keltské literatury, eseje Kultury a anarchie se vyznačují rovněž počátkem něčeho nového. Zahájily řadu jeho zkoumání z šedesátých a sedmdesátých let 19. století o vzájemném vztahu náboženství a kultury a o vztahu mezi individuálním a sociálním záměrem v tomto kontextu. Po Kultuře a anarchii následovaly knihy St. Paul and Protestantism a Literature and Dogma. Mnohé z těch otázek, které si Arnold kladl v těchto třech důležitých dílech, nacházely trvalý ohlas u kritiků, kteří byli konfrontování s analogickým napětím mezi pluralismem a integrací. Diskuse o náboženských cílech byla v 19. století pro morální definici společnosti a státu zásadní, což už pro počátek století 20. přestalo platit. Přesto se však v posledním desetiletí náboženství vrátilo zpět po politické i kulturní agendy jak v globálním, tak v národním kontextu. Konkurující si náboženské vize světa a role jednotlivce v něm získaly obnovený význam. Vyvstávají nové otázky po náboženském vzdělání, o vztahu náboženské identity a pocitu občanství, o vztahu multikulturalismu a liberalismu, o výzvách mezikulturního porozumění. To vše byly problémy, s nimiž se Arnold potýkal před půldruhým stoletím…

Economics - David Arnold, Daniel Arnold, Roger A. Arnold

The economy is tough -- but understanding economics doesnâ ™t have to be. In fact, opening the world of economics can be exciting with Arnold s popular ECONOMICS, 14E. Economic tools, new thinking and theories show you how economic forces impact daily events and form an important part of life 24/7. Current, everyday economic examples and updated discussions and learning features illustrate many unexpected places economics can occur. You learn how supply and demand play out on a freeway, what money is and isnâ ™t, how a person pays for good weather and why some countries are rich while others are poor.

Keeping On Keeping On - Alan Bennett

I seem to have banged on this year rather more than usual. I make no apology for that, nor am I nervous that it will it make a jot of difference. I shall still be thought to be kindly, cosy and essentially harmless. I am in the pigeon-hole marked no threat and did I stab Judi Dench with a pitchfork I should still be a teddy bear. Alan Bennett s third collection of prose Keeping On Keeping On follows in the footsteps of the phenomenally successful Writing Home and Untold Stories, each published ten years apart. This latest collection contains Bennett s peerless diaries 2005 to 2015, reflecting on a decade that saw four premieres at the National Theatre (The Habit of Art, People, Hymn and Cocktail Sticks), a West End double-bill transfer, and the films of The History Boys and The Lady in the Van. There s a provocative sermon on private education given before the University at King s College Chapel, Cambridge, and Baffled at a Bookcase offers a passionate defence of the public library. This is an engaging, humane, sharp, funny and unforgettable record of life according to the inimitable Alan Bennett.

Total Recall - Arnold Schwarzenegger

In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Recall is a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious, controversial and truly unique life. Born in a small Austrian town in 1947, a year of famine, he was the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of 21, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. But that was only the beginning. The Terminator spawned numerous sequels and made him one of Hollywood #39;s biggest stars. He married Maria Shriver, becoming part of the Kennedy clan, while going on to become the Republican governor of California, where he led the state through a budget crisis, natural disasters and political turmoil. The greatest immigrant success story of our time. His story is unique, and uniquely entertaining, and he tells it brilliantly in these pages. Until now, he has never told the full story of his life, in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.

Art History - Arnold Dana

Art history encompasses the study of the history and development of painting, sculpture and the other visual arts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up art history. Beginning with a consideration of what art history is, she explains what makes the subject distinctive from other fields of study, and also explores the emergence of social histories of art (such as Feminist Art History and Queer Art History). Using a wide range of images, she goes on to explore key aspects of the discipline including how we write, present, read, and look at art, and the impact this has on our understanding of art history. This second edition includes a new chapter on global art histories, considering how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles in art originated in western art and can obscure other critical approaches and artwork from non-western cultures. Arnold also discusses the relationship between art and history, and the ways in which art can tell a different history from the one narrated by texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion - Agnes Arnold-Forster

Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution of nostalgia from its first identification in seventeenth-century Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and policies). Nostalgia is a social and political emotion, vulnerable to misuse, and one that reflects the anxieties of the age. It is one of the many ways we communicate a desire for the past, dissatisfaction with the present and our visions for the future.Arnold-Forster’s fascinating history of this complex, slippery emotion is a lens through which to consider the changing pace of society, our collective feelings of regret, dislocation and belonging, the conditions of modern and contemporary work, and the politics of fear and anxiety. It is also a clear-eyed analysis of what we are doing now, how we feel about it and what we might want to change about the world we live in.

Globe - Catharine Arnold

The life of William Shakespeare, Britain s greatest dramatist, was inextricably linked with the history of London. Together, the great writer and the great city came of age and confronted triumph and tragedy. Triumph came when Shakespeare s company, the Chamberlain s Men, opened the Globe playhouse on Bankside in 1599, under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I. Tragedy touched the lives of many of his contemporaries, from fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe to the disgraced Earl of Essex, while London struggled against the ever-present threat of riots, rebellions and outbreaks of plague. Globetakes its readers on a tour of London through Shakespeare s life and work, as, in fascinating detail, Catharine Arnold tells how acting came of age. We learn about James Burbage, founder of the original Theatre in Shoreditch, who carried timbers across the Thames to build the Globe among the bear-gardens and brothels of Bankside, and of the terrible night in 1613 when the theatre caught fire during a performance of King Henry VIII. Rebuilt, the Globe continued to stand as a monument to Shakespeare s genius until 1642 when it was destroyed on the orders of Oliver Cromwell. And finally we learn how 300 years later, Shakespeare s Globe opened once more upon the Bankside, to great acclaim, rising like a phoenix from the flames Arnold creates a vivid portrait of Shakespeare and his London from the bard s own plays and contemporary sources, combining a novelist s eye for detail with a historian s grasp of his unique contribution to the development of the English theatre. This is a portrait of Shakespeare, London, the man and the myth.

Affairs of Humanity - Catherine Arnold

A new look at the origins of humanitarian intervention  We are encouraged to empathize with the suffering of distant strangers every day, from ads for UNICEF to the outcry over Russia⠙s invasion of Ukraine. But where did this type of politics come from?  Historian and practicing barrister Catherine Arnold locates the religious origins of humanitarian politics in early eighteenth-century Britain and Europe. In the late seventeenth century, British politicians argued for ⠜confessional intervention⠝⠔in other words, for interventions to protect Britain⠙s fellow Protestants in continental Europe. By the 1740s, however, a cadre of high-ranking British officials was advocating instead for a new form of ⠜humanitarian intervention,⠝ using natural law⠓inflected language to justify its claims. Between 1690 and 1745, British officials intervened diplomatically to protect not only Protestants in France, northwestern Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire, but also Jewish fugitives from Portugal, Catholic dissidents in France, and Jewish refugees in Bohemia.  Arnold shows that this new type of intervention was intended to stop states from torturing, imprisoning, or expelling their subjects and was justified with humanitarian arguments. British officials contended that state persecution⠔that is, using state authority to punish a subject only because of her religious beliefs⠔violated natural law. They asserted that Britain had a duty to prevent states from violating natural law and an ethical obligation to aid sufferers of all religious faiths out of common humanity.

The English Civil War - Martyn Bennett

The English Civil War was a series of armed conflicts and political upheavals which spanned the British Isles in the mid-seventeenth century. It was fought on a wide range of religious, political and racial issues, and succeeded in dividing the traditional loyalties of class, friendship and family ties within all four kingdoms. This unprecedented period of disruption resulted in far-reaching political revolution, the re-evaluation of political representation and social structure, and ultimately laid the foundations of the British constitution we know today.In The English Civil War, Martyn Bennett introduces the reader to the main debates surrounding the Civil War, from the St Giles riots in Edinburgh in 1637 to the restoration of Charles II in May 1660. Complete with biographies of the key personalities and descriptions of events, battles and military institutions, Bennett covers the run-up to the conflict, the wars themselves and the aftermath.This comprehensive Aâ “Z companion to the history of the civil wars provides all the facts and figures that an armchair general would ever need.

Six Poets: Hardy to Larkin - Alan Bennett

Writers like to elude their public, lead them a bit of a dance. They take them down untrodden paths, land them in unknown country where they have to ask for directions.In this personal anthology, Alan Bennett has chosen over seventy poems by six well-loved poets, discussing the writers and their verse in his customary conversational style through anecdote, shrewd appraisal and spare but telling biographical detail. Ranging from hidden treasures to famous poems, this is a collection for the beginner and the expert alike. Speaking with candour about his own reactions to the work, Alan Bennett creates profound and witty portraits of Thomas Hardy, A. E. Housman, John Betjeman, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice and Philip Larkin, all the more enjoyable for being in his own particular voice.Anybody writing poetry in the thirties had somehow to come to terms with Auden. Auden, you see, had got a head start on the other poets. He d got into the thirties first, like someone taking over the digs.
