První latinskoamerický papež v dějinách svou snahou vytvořit vstřícnější a pozornější církev, která by se lidským problémům věnovala s důrazem na Boží milosrdenství, vyvolal u některých lidí intenzivní strach, že se podřizuje modernímu světu a ničí tradici. František, který na jedné straně čelí vzpourám kvůli svému přístupu k rozvedeným katolíkům a obavám z otázek, jako je migrace a změna klimatu, i bouři kritiky kvůli postupu církve v oblasti pohlavního zneužívání, se na straně druhé ukazuje jako vůdce s pozoruhodnou vizí a schopnostmi, neúnavně zaměřený na duchovní cíle – jako vůdce, který i uprostřed všudypřítomného zmatku zůstává klidný. Kniha barvitě a s nadhledem vykresluje portrét papeže Františka a uvádí nás do turbulencí vyvolaných jeho dalekosáhlými změnami. Ivereighova cesta po klíčových okamžicích Františkovy reformy v Římě a v celé církvi využívá zábavných historek, svědectví přímých účastníků i odborných analýz, aby vrhla světlo na frustraci a zuřivost, ale také radosti a úspěchy, které provázejí jeden z nejpozoruhodnějších pontifikátů současnosti.

„Na prvý pohľad hlavný problém zmeny klímy predstavujú skleníkové plyny. Sú však len symptómom. V jadre klimatickej krízy je sociálny problém... Klimatická zmena sa dá korigovať iba ak zmeníme naše správanie.“ Z tejto pozície analyzuje autor Graeme Maxton, ešte nedávno generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu, systémové príčiny krízy našej civilizácie, aby sa tak dostal k systémovým riešeniam. Ide teda o viac ako len redukciu uhlíka v atmosfére. Za ničením planetárneho ekosystému musíme vidieť dominantný systém kultúry, ktorý podporuje a priam núti ľudí do organizovaného drancovania prírody. Takéto nastavenie nedokážu zmeniť individuálne akcie, ani apelovanie na uvedomelosť ľudí. Navyše, rozpad ekosystémov a narušenie klímy sú už v takom stupni, že pomôže len okamžitá, skutočne účinná záchranná akcia. Jej nevyhnutnou podmienkou je radikálna zmena ekonomického a politického systému v globálnom rozsahu. „Ako sme sa dostali do tejto situácie, aké dôsledky môžeme očakávať a čo by sme mali ako jednotlivci a spoločnosť urobiť – práve o tom je táto kniha.“ (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: In time for the highly-awaited TV series, a new edition of Jane Austen\'s delightful final work, set in a newly established seaside resort with a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculatorsIn the final months of Jane Austen\'s life, she began work on a new novel about social drama in the small seaside town of Sanditon, once a small fishing village and now a bustling spa town. In the story of Charlotte Heywood, a new arrival, Austen she contemplated a changing society with a mixture of skepticism and amusement, and notably crafted her only character of color in the mixed-race heiress Miss Lambe. Though unfinished at the time of her death, it is a key work for readers of Jane Austen, and all the moreso with a major upcoming TV adaptation. This volume includes Sanditon, as well as two other lesser-known works, Lady Susan and The Watsons. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with several men. And The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine, Emma, finds her marriage opportunities restricted by poverty and pride. With three vital and less familiar works by one of the most important novelists in the English language, this book is a must-have for Austen fans. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The stunning Emma special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse delights in interfering in the romantic lives of others.But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. Though not widely recognized during her lifetime, Jane Austen has become one of England's most renowned novelists.Born in 1775, Austen lived a quiet life and began writing in her youth, though she did not publish until 1811 with the anonymous release of Sense and Sensibility. This was followed by three novels before her death in 1817: Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Austen is known for her satirical portraits of social customs and marriage rituals, though she wrote during the passionate Romantic period.Some view her as aligned with earlier eighteenth-century ideals of reason and propriety. However, her witty heroines also reflect an emerging feminism and intelligence that contrasted with women's confined roles. While her endings espouse marriage, novels like Emma provoke questions about women's fulfillment and Austen's own views.Through her rich domestic portraits and investigations of social mores, Austen captured the constrictions on women's lives with insight that still resonates centuries later.
