Pohledy z okna mého bytu / views from the window of my flat - jiří hanke

V rozsáhlém časosběrném projektu Pohledy z okna mého bytu (1981-2003) vytvořil fotograf a galerista Jiří Hanke jeden z legendárních souborů české fotografie. Na příkladu „osudu“ jedné z mnoha ulic Kladna jedinečným způsobem zachytil období normalizace i následných transformačních devadesátých let. Především ale osobitě zúročil možnosti fotografie, tematizoval fenomén času a přinesl ojedinělou výpověď o každodenních momentech, ve kterých se koncentroval ubíhající čas. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook:,Svazek Views from the Inside přináší v pěti literárních dokumentech svědectví předních představitelů kultury českého undergroundu. Stavem hudebního undergroundu 70. let, jeho ideovými východisky a společenskou rolí se zabývá Ivan Martin Jirous ve své, dnes již věhlasné a opakovaně vydávané studii Zpráva o třetím českém hudebním obrození, kterou zde doplňuje vzpomínková stať Paula Wilsona. Tři následující texty byly psány pro konferenci o české literatuře, která se konala na New York University v březnu 1990. K původním východiskům českého literárního podzemí na přelomu 40. a 50. let se vrací Egon Bondy. Oblast samizdatové literární produkce 80. let mapuje ve své zprávě o Revolver Revue Jáchym Topol a undergroundová literatura 70. i 80. let je rovněž tématem druhé studie Ivana Martina Jirouse v tomto svazku. Kniha je doplněna doslovem editora M. Machovce, aktualizovanou bibliografií anglicky vydaných textů, filmografií a diskografií. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Jiří Hanke (1944) vydal fotografická alba Lidé z Podhůří, Otisky generace, Pohledy z okna mého bytu, Stop Time a dva svazky portrétů těch, které pozval vystavovat v Malé galerii České spořitelny v Kladně. Monografie připomíná i další etapy díla, zejména soubory Pařížské fragmenty, Ozvěny, Tv Image a Podnikatelé. Soustavně se autor vrací ke Kladnu, fotografovanému od roku 1973. Nejedná se ale o pouhou charakteristiku města s jeho obyvateli. Přitažlivost knihy spočívá i v tom, že vypovídá o fotografování jakožto aktivní přítomnosti v životě domovské obce. Osobní vztah k rodišti se tak přechyluje v obecnější výpověď lidské existence. (knihydobrovsky.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.

Satira Ishmaela Reeda. Od nestandardní sexuality k argumentaci Tato kniha se zaměřuje na tvorbu afroamerického spisovatele Ishmaela Reeda a sleduje, jak se napříč jeho padesátiletou románovou tvorbou proměňuje způsob, jímž autor uplatňuje satiru. Přestože je každý Reedův román originálním knižním počinem, v uplatnění satiry lze najít jisté pravidelnosti a vývojové tendence. Zatímco v Reedově rané satiře převládá společenská kritika založená na zobrazení nestandardní sexuality, v jeho současnější satiře (čímž je označována autorova románová tvorba od roku 1993 dále) dominuje společenská kritika založená na argumentaci. Uvedené mody satiry jsou v knize dále propojeny se dvěma druhy amerického rasismu, s rasismem zjevným a skrytým. Kniha dokládá, že spolu s tím, jak se zjevný rasismus stal v americkém společenském diskurzu nepřípustným a byl nahrazen rasismem skrytým, aktualizoval Ishmael Reed svoji satiru, aby i nadále zůstala efektivním modem společenské kritiky. Kniha je určena pro čtenáře z řad odborné i širší veřejnosti, kteří mají zájem o tvorbu Ishmaela Reeda i afroamerickou literaturu obecně. Inspirativní může být i pro ty, jež se zajímají o žánr satiry a její vývoj. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Across the planet, the futures of young people hang in the balance as they face the harsh realities of the environmental crisis. Isn't it time we made their voices heard?The Children of the Anthropocene, by conservationist and activist Bella Lack, chronicles the lives of the diverse young people on the frontlines of the environmental crisis around the world, amplifying the voices of those living at the heart of the crisis.Advocating for the protection of both people and the planet, Bella restores the beating heart to global environmental issues, from air pollution to deforestation and overconsumption, by telling the stories of those most directly affected. Transporting us from the humming bounty of Ecuador's Choco Rainforest and the graceful arcs of the Himalayan Mountains, to the windswept plains and vibrant vistas of life in Altiplano, Bella speaks to young activists from around the world including Dara McAnulty, Afroz Shah and Artemisa Xakriabá, and brings the crisis vividly to life.It's time we passed the mic and listened to different perspectives. Bella's manifestos for change will inspire and mobilize you to rediscover the wonders and wilds of nature and, ultimately, change the way you think about our planet in crisis. This is your chance to hear the urgent stories of an endangered species too often overlooked: the children of the Anthropocene. ____________________________'Extraordinarily moving, wild and engaging - the book of the moment' Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland and author of Climate Justice'A visionary statement for the future [...] Pragmatic, positive & beautifully written' Ben Macdonald, Award-Winning Conservation Writer, Wildlife TV Producer and Naturalist (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'Stunning... will long remain in the reader's mind' - Kristin HannahThis morning, I met the man who started the fire. He did something terrible, but then, so have I.I left him. I left him and now he may be dead. Once upon a time there was a beautiful village that held a million stories of love and loss and peace and war, and it was swallowed up by a fire that blazed up to the sky.The fire ran all the way down to the sea where it met with its reflection. A family from two nations, England and Greece, live a simple life in a tiny Greek village: Irini, Tasso and their daughter, lovely, sweet Chara, whose name means joy. Their life goes up in flames in a single day when one man starts a fire out of greed and indifference.Many are killed, homes are destroyed, and the region's natural beauty wiped out. In the wake of the fire, Chara bears deep scars across her back and arms. Tasso is frozen in trauma, devastated that he wasn't there when his family most needed him.And Irini is crippled by guilt at her part in the fate of the man who started the fire. But this family has survived, and slowly green shoots of hope and renewal will grow from the smouldering ruins of devastation. Once again, Christy Lefteri has crafted a novel which is intimate and epic, sweeping and delicate.The Book of Fire explores not only the damage wrought by human folly, and the costs of survival in our changing world, but also - and ultimately - our powers of redemption and renewal.

Stepping back from the world is an ancient human impulse. Over the last year we have had to retreat. But throughout history, we have chosen to.We were doing it more and more, anyway. Mindfulness and meditation are all the rage. Wellness tourism, yoga breaks, meditation apps, and spiritual boot camps have been booming - entry-level to hardcore.Retreat investigates this human obsession, mining neuroscience, psychology and history to reveal why we seek solitude, what we get out of it, and what is going on in our brains and bodies when we achieve it. What has it meant to the world's great thinkers, and what does it mean, in our age, as an activity we pay for?Is isolation a means of engaging more fully with reality, or evading it? And what has retreat meant at a time when humanity has - to an unprecedented extent - been forced to withdraw? Nat Segnit has felt the pull of solitude and the fear of it, as well as the warmth of company. To answer these questions, he has been on retreats around the world and met yogic scholars, cognitive and social scientists, religious leaders, philosophers and artists.Retreat is endlessly enlightening, sceptical and open-minded. It is about seeking happiness, fulfilment, a change of perspective, and relief from stress and anxiety. And it is surprisingly, joyously, full of human encounter. Ultimately, it is about the discovery that retreat is a mental state that can be achieved anywhere, in a monastery or shopping centre, a cave or a crowd. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The collection of the fin de siécle art from the collections of the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen is one of the best in the context of Czech public collections. It includes all the important styles and trends that appeared on the art scene of the time, i.e. naturalism, symbolism, impressionism and art nouveau. Czech art at this time was in the process of integration into international structures and many artists from the Czech lands studied, exhibited or worked in the key cultural capitals of Europe, such as Vienna, Munich and Paris. Two personalities who achieved worldwide fame are represented in the Pilsen collection: one of the most important representatives of art nouveau, Alfons Mucha, and the later co-founder of abstract painting, František Kupka. In addition to these artists, the Pilsen collection also contains works by other important artists who shaped the art scene of the time - among them Antonín Slavíček, Jan Preisler, Jaroslav Špillar, Luděk Marold and Václav Brožík, to name but a few. This book, which is the third outcome of a long-term joint project of the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen and the prestigious London publishing house Scala Arts & Heritage, presents fifty works selected by the Gallery Director Roman Musil with annotations by leading Czech and foreign experts on fine art at the turn of the 20th century. Authors: Aleš Filip, Šárka Leubnerová, Roman Musil, Alena Pomajzlová, Marie Rakušanová, Ivana Skálová, Markéta Theinhardtová (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The CEO of Disney, one of Time's most influential people of 2019, shares the ideas and values he embraced to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger-think global-and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.Fourteen years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era.In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including:Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming.Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity.Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale.Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them.This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It's also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology."The ideas in this book strike me as universal" Iger writes. "Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives."

LP vinyl - Desáté studiové album kapely navazuje na svého předchůdce, zároveň prog-rocková skupina mezi oběma deskami učinila nejdelší pauzu ve své kariéře. Opět jde o rozsáhlou koncepční nahrávku, která má být druhou částí díla rozděleného do pěti kapitol. Americká progresivně rocková kapela vznikla v roce 1995 v New Yorku. Její tvorba vstřebala vlivy popu, heavy metalu i post hard-core. Většina desek Coheed And Cambria je koncepčního charakteru, jejich základem je sci-fi série The Amory Wars, za kterou stojí zpěvák a kytarista kapely Claudio Sanchez.

Sitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn't want to begin. His one-hundredth birthday party to be precise. The Mayor will be there.

And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allan's earlier life is revealed. A life in which - remarkably - he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the twentieth century. Translated by Roy Bradbury.

Audiokniha MP3 - autor Jonas Jonasson, čte Martin Stránský Jedna z nejvtipnějších knih poslední doby Alan Karlsson má narozeniny. Je mu sto let. Vlastně důvod k oslavě. Starosta i místní tisk se připravují na velkolepou oslavu, stoletý stařík má však docela jiné plány; jednoduše zmizí – a brzy je celé Švédsko kvůli jeho útěku vzhůru nohama. Jenže s podobnými věcmi už má Allan své zkušenosti – v mládí koneckonců uvedl do zmatku celý svět. Jonas Jonasson ve svém románu vypráví o jednom veselém útěku a také o šíleném životním příběhu svéhlavého muže, který se sice nikdy nezajímal o politiku, ale přesto byl vždy nějak zapleten do velkých historických událostí 20. století. Kniha se záhy stala čtenářským hitem a nejprodávanějším švédským románem let 2010 a 2011. V současnosti byla přeložena nebo se překládá do 35 jazyků.

For centuries humanity has engaged in a virtual exploration of space through astronomical observation, aided by astounding scientific and technological advances. In more than sixty years since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, more than 6,000 functioning satellites have been launched into Earth’s orbit and beyond – some to the farthest reaches of the Solar System – and more than 540 people have travelled into space.
