Bezmála dvacet let uplynulo od napsání prvního dílu tohoto pozoruhodného životopisu o neméně pozoruhodném muži. Bylo tedy právě načase, aby i čeští čtenáři měli možnost nahlédnout do nejtemnějších zákoutí života a duše velkého spisovatele, jakým byl Marcel Proust. Biografie, kterou vám předkládáme, je bezesporu tou nejhodnotnější knihou, která kdy o Proustovi vyšla. Jen málo odborníků by se mohlo tohoto úkolu zhostit s větší pokorou a zároveň důrazem na fakticitu informací než Jean-Yves Tadié, jenž proustovskému bádání zasvětil mnoho let intenzivní práce. V tomto díle je vše, co se můžeme o Proustovi dozvědět, vše, co je nutné znát, abychom pochopili jeho osobnost a jeho dílo. Konečně máme možnost zjistit, kým autor Hledání ztraceného času skutečně byl a co vše následně utvářelo hodnotu literárního odkazu, co po sobě zanechal. Na devíti stech stranách prvního dílu publikace, jež obnažuje autorův život od jeho narození po první léta 20. století, se nám otevírá překvapující svět génia, který můžeme prožívat takřka po minutách ve Swanovském opojení. Biografie Marcela Prousta není jen biografií muže z vysoké společnosti, který se vyrovnával s vážnou nemocí, homosexualitou i nedostatkem uznání. Je to především biografie člověka, který svou velikost těžil z toho, co tvořil. Neboť právě tomu se zcela obětoval. (patro.cz)

"V USA jsem si více méně pro sebe zachytil zajímavá místa," vzpomíná Jiří Hanke. "Po návratu si moje žena všimla podobnosti mezi fotografií brány nad cestou do texaského ranče a silnicí vedoucí k dolu Nosek u Tuchlovic. Postupně vznikl soubor, který hledá tvarové a dějové podobnosti mezi českou a americkou krajinou." Ve dvojicích snímků fotograf nalézá spřízněnost strukturních obrysů krajin texaského venkova, Harlemu, Central Parku, Manhattanu, Long Islandu s Kladnem a prostorem středních Čech. Bytostný Středočech Hanke se v cyklu Hledání Ameriky ale stává Evropanem, do stavu spřízněnosti na kladenskou stranu povolává Basilej, Rujánu a bratislavskou Petržalku. Vytváří páry městských panoramat; parků; mostních konstrukcí a světa v jejich stínu, kde účel stavby ztrácí svůj smysl; newyorské Flatiron Building a jedné kladenské restaurace; nadčasové krásy českých i amerických koňských těl; paralelních prostorů pro reklamy, jejichž ikonické instalace, třeba na objednávku firmy Camel, kolonizují náš svět; aut, karavanů, maringotek, coby novodobé podoby naší nomádské samoty; vrakovišť; lidí z okraje - Ameriku reprezentují bezdomovci, na naší straně nastupují i důchodci-kutilové - a všichni jako by vypadli z jedné divadelní komedie.

Karel Čapek (1890-1938) wrote at the time when the travel writing genre gained some of its most prominent artistic and narrative features, and the theme of travel permeated both literature and visual art. He contributed to its unique legacy founded on modernist, cross-generic and cross-artistic experiments not only in his travel writing opus, but also by incorporating the notion of travel into his other literary pursuits - from his translation of Apollinaire's "Zone" (1919) to rendition of newts in his internationally renowned novel War With the Newts (1936). Čapek experimented with aesthetic features of the genre and the theme of travel, and, in lieu with cosmopolitan tendencies of the period, sought to overcome the opposition between home and abroad by suggesting an imaginative geography of Europe based on aesthetic rather than political identity. As he demonstrates, "becoming European through being Czech" is to be achieved through the awareness of a shared artistic tradition and exploration of the limits of literary expression, its ability to convey new times and new realities. In the aftermath of the Great War, and during the time when his country was looking for a chance to promote its identity, the travel writing genre, as well as the articulation of this theme across literature and arts, offered a platform for exploration and experimentation with these ideas.

The story of the pioneering anthropologists and their adventures among civilisations that were first thought of as being primitive and savage. What they discovered, however, would change the way we think about ourselves.In the late nineteenth century, when non-European societies were seen as 'living fossils' offering an insight into how Western civilisation had evolved, anthropology was a thrilling new discipline which attracted the brightest minds of the academic world. But, by the middle of the twentieth century, colonialism was recognised as being inextricably linked to exploitation and outdated labels like 'savage' were inconceivable when so-called 'civilised' man had wreaked such devastation across two world wars.Focusing on twelve key European and American anthropologists working in the field, from Franz Boas on Baffin Island in the 1880s to Claude Levi-Strauss in Brazil fifty years later, Lucy Moore explores the brief flowering of anthropology as a quasi-scientific area of study with all its insights and ambivalence. In Search of Us tells the story of the men and women whose observations of the 'other' would transform attitudes about race, gender equality, sexual liberation, parenting and tolerance in ways they had never anticipated.In an enthralling, perceptive narrative, Moore shows how these radical anthropologists were inspired by their time in the furthest-flung reaches of the known world, becoming pioneers of a new way of thinking. In the end, their legacy is less about understanding foreign cultures and more about their attempts to persuade human beings to look at one another with eyes washed free from prejudice. Their intention may have been to explain what they saw as the primitive world to the civilised one but they ended up changing the way people viewed themselves - at least for a time.

For more than a millennium, Polynesians have occupied the remotest islands in the Pacific Ocean, a vast triangle stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand to Easter Island. Until the arrival of European explorers they were the only people to have ever lived there. Both the most closely related and the most widely dispersed people in the world before the era of mass migration, Polynesians can trace their roots to a group of epic voyagers who ventured out into the unknown in one of the greatest adventures in human history.How did the earliest Polynesians find and colonise these far-flung islands? How did a people without writing or metal tools conquer the largest ocean in the world? This conundrum, which came to be known as the Problem of Polynesian Origins, emerged in the eighteenth century as one of the great geographical mysteries of mankind.For Christina Thompson, this mystery is personal: her Maori husband and their sons descend directly from these ancient navigators. In Sea People, Thompson explores the fascinating story of these ancestors, as well as those of the many sailors, linguists, archaeologists, folklorists, biologists and geographers who have puzzled over this history for three hundred years. A masterful mix of history, geography, anthropology, and the science of navigation, Sea People is a vivid tour of one of the most captivating regions in the world. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart.After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats.In While Time Remains, Park sounds the alarm for Americans by highlighting the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently.Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A lyrical celebration of birdsong, and the rekindling of a deep passion for nature.'At this time of year, blackbirds never simply fly: instead, like reluctantly retired officers, they're always "on manoeuvres", and it's easy to see from their constant agitation that for them every flower bed is a bunker, every shed a redoubt and every hedge-bottom a potential place of ambush'As the world went silent in lockdown, something else happened; for the first time, many of us started becoming more aware of the spring sounds of the birds around us. Birdsong in a Time of Silence is a lyrical, uplifting reflection on these sounds and what they mean to us.From a portrait of the blackbird - most prominent and articulate of the early spring singers - to explorations of how birds sing, the science behind their choice of song and nest-sites, and the varied meanings that people have brought to and taken from birdsong, this book ultimately shows that natural history and human history cannot be separated. It is the story of a collective reawakening brought on by the strangest of springs. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

As read on BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week'Shortlisted for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year AwardLonglisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize'Sherman's is a special book. Every sentence, every thought she has, every question she asks, every detail she notices, offers something. The Bells of Old Tokyo is a gift . . . It is a masterpiece.' SpectatorFor over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture. During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo, later known as Tokyo, relied on its public bells to tell the time. In her remarkable book, Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.Through Sherman's journeys around the city and her friendship with the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of coffee to an art-form, The Bells of Old Tokyo presents a series of hauntingly memorable voices in the labyrinth that is the metropolis of the Japanese capital: An aristocrat plays in the sea of ashes left by the Allied firebombing of 1945. A scientist builds the most accurate clock in the world, a clock that will not lose a second in five billion years. A sculptor eats his father's ashes while the head of the house of Tokugawa reflects on the destruction of his grandfather's city ('A lost thing is lost. To chase it leads to darkness').The result is a book that not only engages with the striking otherness of Japanese culture like no other, but that also marks the arrival of a dazzling new writer as she presents an absorbing and alluring meditation on life through an exploration of a great city and its people.

Autorkou textů je prof. Mgr. Helena Kazárová, Ph.D., choreografka a taneční historička, která zároveň jednotlivá představení podle dobových pramenů připravila a také režírovala. Tančili profesionální tanečníci Hartig Ensemble – Tance a balety tří století. Fotografoval Libor Sváček. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece by one of the world's greatest thinkers.
