The prague horologe - jakub malina

Ojedinělý průvodce se zabývá historií vzniku stavby a podává výklad esoterní symboliky, která v centru města, na veřejném místě, dosud nepoznána přečkala šest století.Na pozadí doby vlády »posledního zasvěceného císaře Svaté říše římské« Karla IV. přibližuje úroveň okultních znalostí pozdního středověku a jejich umělecké zachycení v architektuře, výtvarném umění i urbanistice celého města. Za vznikem pražského nachází tato kniha odkaz jedné z prvních uzavřených zasvěceneckých lóží, která do svých řad přijímala i laiky, tzv. pražské bratrstvo Obruč a kladivo, nad nímž měl záštitu sám král Václav IV., syn Karla IV. Výklad symboliky umožňuje datovat vznik stavby, jejíž dokumentace zmizela neznámo kde, přesněji než oficiální historická literatura.Symboliku pražského orloje vykládá autor jako v evropském dobovém kontextu unikátní model kosmu a jeho jednoty s člověkem jako jeho obrazem. Podrobně rozebírá i kosmologickou symboliku astronomických hodin a skryté motivy tvůrců architektonického i výtvarného řešení orloje. Dokládá, jak znalosti o vesmíru i člověku, které zveřejňují moderní esoterní školy a hnutí, zachycovala už řecká a egyptská mysteria, jejichž znalost byla na konci 14. století šířena po celé Evropě. Stavbu orloje vykládá v souvislostech místa a času vzniku. Přibližuje karolinský koncept Prahy nejen jako světské metropole světa, sídla císaře nazývaného druhým Konstantinem, ale také jako duchovního otisku Nebeského Jeruzaléma, města posmrtně zaslíbeného křesťanům. Na příkladu figur dvanácti apoštolů pak podává nejširší souvislosti iniciačních dějin v křesťanském světě.Průvodce Staroměstský orloj navazuje na odkaz takových autorů, jako byl slavný alchymista Fulcanelli, na duchovní dědictví mnoha českých historiků i moderních autorů děl o esoterních naukách, jako je například David Ovason. Ve výkladu esoterní symboliky stavby vychází z rozsáhlého díla antroposofa Rudolfa Steinera. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Pages of a weathered original sonata manuscript - the gift of a Czech immigrant living in Queens - come into the hands of Meta Taverner, a young musicologist whose concert piano career was cut short by an injury. The gift comes with the request that Meta find the manuscript's true owner - a Prague friend the old woman has not heard from since the Second World War forced them apart - and to make the three-part sonata whole again. Leaving New York behind for the land of Dvorak and Kafka, Meta sets out on an unforgettable search to locate the remaining movements of the sonata and uncover a story that has influenced the course of many lives, even as it becomes clear that she isn't the only one seeking the music's secrets.

Emperor and King Charles IV had many monumental edifices built, but paid special attention to the Cathedral of St. Vitus at the Prague Castle. He wanted it to be a Gothic masterpiece - a stone epitome of faith, the symbol of royal majesty, the see of the archbishop, the cult center of the land patrons, the place of royal crowning and the royal as well as national necropolis. No other church in Europe plays so many roles of great importance. The project of Matthias of Arras, the first architect of the cathedral, was literally one of the architectural wonders of that time. Commissioned to build a Gothic house of prayer in Prague modeled after cathedrals in Southern France, he inconspicuously modified the assignment according to his own ideas and local traditions. The approach of his successor Peter Parler was so distinctive, ingenious and yet architecturally risky that he fell afoul of backthen recognized rules. Looking at the cathedral, originally consecrated to the unknown Sicilian martyr Vitus and built in the heart of our capital city, from afar, up close and from inside, people are in awe of its impressive grandness even now in the 21st century. The Prague cathedral is not the oldest, largest or highest cathedral in Europe, but is unparalleled with its breathtaking balance. It is 124m long, 60m wide and over 33m high. The Southern Spire, which is almost 100m high, has become the landmark of the capital city. Over 8,000 people can hear the word of God inside this sacred place all at once. (patro.cz)

In quest of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer, the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman travels to Soviet-occupied Prague in the mid-1970s. There, in a nation straightjacketed by totalitarian Communism, he discovers a literary predicament, marked by institutionalised oppression, that is rather different from his own. He also discovers, among the oppressed writers with whom he quickly becomes embroiled in a series of bizarre and poignant adventures, an appealingly perverse kind of heroism. The Prague Orgy, consisting of entries from Zuckerman's notebooks recording his sojourn among these outcast artists, completes the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound. It provides a startling ending to Roth's intricately designed magnum opus on the unforeseen consequences of art. In 1997 Philip Roth won the Pulitzer Prize for American Pastoral. In 1998 he received the National Medal of Arts at the White House, and in 2002 the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in Fiction, previously awarded to John Dos Passos, William Faulkner and Saul Bellow, among others. He has twice won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has won the PEN/Faulkner Award three times. In 2005 The Plot Against America received the Society of American Historians' Prize for ‘the outstanding historical novel on an American theme for 2003-2004'. Recently Roth received PEN's two most prestigious prizes: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov Award ‘for a body of work . . . of enduring originality and consummate craftsmanship' and in 2007 the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction, given to a writer whose ‘scale of achievement over a sustained career . . . places him or her in the highest rank of American literature'. In 2011 Roth won the International Man Booker Prize. Roth is the only living American writer to have his work published in a comprehensive, definitive edition by the Library of America.

Nineteenth-century Europe - from Turin to Prague to Paris - abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Conspiracies rule history. Jesuits plot against Freemasons. Italian republicans strangle priests with their own intestines. French criminals plan bombings by day and celebrate Black Masses at night. Every nation has its own secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and massacres. From the unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat. But what if, behind all of these conspiracies both real and imagined, lay one lone man? What if that evil genius created its most infamous document? Eco takes his readers on an unforgettable journey through the underbelly of world-shattering events. Eco at his most exciting, a book immediately hailed as a masterpiece. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Císař a král Karel IV. se zasloužil o vybudování celé řady monumentálních staveb, ovšem zvláštní pozornost věnoval Svatovítské katedrále na Pražském hradě. Měla se stát vrcholným dílem gotiky - kamenným ztělesněním víry, symbolem královského majestátu, sídlem arcibiskupa, střediskem kultu zemských patronů, dějištěm slavnostních korunovací, pohřebištěm královským a vlastně i národním. Žádný jiný kostel v Evropě nespojoval tolik důležitých funkcí najednou. Projekt prvního stavitele katedrály Matyáše z Arrasu patřil už ve své době doslova ke stavebním zázrakům. Jednoznačné zadání přenést do Prahy styl jihofrancouzských katedrál nenápadně přizpůsobil vlastním představám i místním tradicím. Přístup jeho nástupce Petra Parléře byl natolik osobitý, geniální a přitom architektonicky riskantní, že se dostal do konfliktu s tehdy uznávanými pravidly. A tak chrám zasvěcený původně neznámému sicilskému mučedníku Vítovi v srdci naší metropole budí i v 21. století úžas svou impozantní vznešeností z dálky, z blízka i zevnitř. Pražská katedrála není nejstarší, nejširší ani nejvyšší v Evropě. Její jedinečnost spočívá v ohromující vyváženosti. Celková délka stavby je 124 metrů a šířka transeptu dosahuje 60 metrů. Klenba se tyčí do výšky pres 33 metrů a téměř stometrová tzv. jižní věž dodává hlavnímu městu čitelné charakteristické panorama. Slovo Boží může v posvátném prostoru katedrály vyslechnout najednou víc než osm tisíc lidí. V anglickém jazyce. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In The Prague of Charles IV, 1316-1378, Czech professor of art history Jan Royt renders a vivid image of the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom during the High Gothic period, presenting the city in the broader historical context of Prague's golden age during the reign of Charles IV (1346-1378). Following Charles's coronation as the Holy Roman Emperor in 1355, for the first time in history Prague, the capital of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, was simultaneously the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Thanks to royal and imperial care, which reflected Charles's Western European education and cosmopolitan openness as well as his respect for the royal Bohemian tradition, Prague flourished, becoming a unique and beautiful city. The cathedral, the stone bridge, the university, and construction of the New Town and its churches laid out in its distinctive cross pattern still remain visible reminders of the period today. Prague's Gothic architecture provides the artistic backbone to a city renowned for its painting, sculpture, and haunting music. Filled with photographs of Prague's historic monuments and sights, this account of the medieval roots of one of the most visited and beloved cities in the world is at once history, cultural guide, and sumptuous art book.

eBook:,Undoubtedly, homelessness is an interesting phenomenon of today. It represents a clear social failure which can be viewed as a syndrome of a complex social failure. Everyone knows the homeless and sees them on everyday basis, but only few people know about them more than that they look neglected, drink alcohol and always sleep in various places. The reality is, however, in many respects different, primarily as concerns young people for whom the life in the street may be merely a temporary stage in their lives. The book entitled Homelessness as an Alternative Existence of Young People provides information about those who lost their background or even never had it. It is about life in the street and about what preceded it, about their attitudes to the various problems which they face, often unsuccessfully. Young homeless people are different and the stories and causes of their social downswing are also different. The description of life in the street where one loses his privacy, the possibility to satisfy his basic needs and often even self-respect shows what must be endured in order to survive. The second part of the publication is devoted to the opposite process: a return from the street to the society, and the difficulties that must be overcome in order to accomplish it. Often it is not merely about coping with one’s past stigma but also other consequences of non-standard life, such as drug addiction, criminal records or accumulated debt. The text is based on interviews with homeless people and represents and authentic picture of this social group in Prague. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook:,Following their engaging study Homelessness among Young People in Prague, the authors of this book turn their attention to an older population facing the same issue, a very different situation since these older adults grew up under a communist regime where an obligation to work was enshrined in law and living on the street could result in a prison sentence. Based on three years of research, this book provides a slew of data-based statistical insights, analyzing the efficacy of relief provided by both the state and nonprofit organizations, detailing how the clients of such organizations rate their services, to what extent they accept assistance, and whether they believe it has helped them. More importantly, it features extensive interviews with real people, making it the first Czech book on this issue to present homelessness from the perspective of those who live with it every day.

eBook: Trained in philosophy and medicine, the writer, translator, scholar, and political and cultural activist Siegfried Kapper (1821–1879) devoted significant effort to the advancement of Jewish culture in Bohemia, Jewish emancipation, and to the commitment of Jews to contemporary Czech society. The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, “Genenda”, displays Kapper’s operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a dutiful rabbi’s daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew, a deceit that ends in tragedy. “The Curious Guest” is an intricate tale of a quest for wisdom and power that inevitably leads to the undoing of the arrogant protagonist. The final story, “Glowing Coals”, is a supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying Kapper’s skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single national experience.

Prague in the Heart is a collection of one hundred and eighty-nine true stories of events that have taken place in Prague over the past two hundred years. They show that the recent past has been no less dramatic and convoluted than in medieval times. Franz Kafka, Jaroslav Seifert, Bohumil Hrabal, Jaroslav Hašek, Jan Patočka, Jiří Dienstbier and Václav Havel were all residents of Prague. Occupying armies marched through Prague. There was a battle for Czechoslovak Radio in the Vinohrady quarter of Prague. Czech patriots were executed in Kobylisy, Prague. Dissidents were detained at Ruzyně in Prague. A Reich Protector was assassinated in Prague. And neighborhoods like Smíchov, Karlín and Libeň, once industrial areas, recorded the history of the Industrial Age - a time when poverty was intertwined with achievement, progress, and hope for a better future. Prague in the Heart is not an exhaustive historical study, but a remarkable literary statement from a renowned author who loves her city. Anglická verze titulu Praha v srdci. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

„Book „The Vedute of Prague“ describes the development of Prague cityscape in the period of last 5 centuries and emphasizes future possible scenarios how the city composition could be continuously developed in the 21st century,“ comments the content of the book Roman Koucký, the co-author of the book and the chief of the Metropolitan plan office, that prepares new urban plan of Prague, called Metropolitan plan.The overall visual composition of the city forms a significant part of its identity and the collective mental “city image”. The layered and diverse composition of the city “from medieval times up to now” is, as emphasized in the book’s first chapter, the reason for Prague’s inscription in the prestigious UNESCO Register of World Cultural Heritage. The second chapter describes how it is not only possible but indeed necessary to read the contemporary city/metropolis, and what to emphasis in supplementing its composition. The third chapter is a brief history of the formulation of Prague’s historic urban landscape, particularly in the turbulent 20th century, and an outline of a possible solution for its further development based on the Metropolitan Plan. It describes how it is possible to supplement the historically layered city with a contemporary cultural layer precisely as assumed in the wording of the UNESCO inscription from 1992. The attempt of the book is to place today’s views of the city into a historical context. For this reason, in the first excursus, the book provides a selection of historic Prague vedute from the collection of the City of Prague Museum. In the second excursus, the book presents selection from the archival collections of IPR Praha with views of the design of the city from the 20th century.The main part of the book represents in the 3rd excursus series of new Prague vedute: the panoramic photographs taken from 2014 to 2017 as the artistic vision of Ester Havlová, capturing of a crucial historical moment in the search for a vision of the future of Prague. The final, fourth excursus is a description of the entirely new depiction of the proposed future composition of the city, the ‘digital veduta’ using orthogonal imaging, used aswell in the Metropolitan plan of Prague proposal. The present book is published to mark the 25th anniversary of the inscription of the historic centre of Prague to the UNESCO Register of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. The book also commemorates the 5th anniversary of the founding of the Office of the Metropolitan Plan. For the text and illustrations, the materials used are results of research by the Office of the Metropolitan Plan, published in full in the volume Metropolitní plán, koncept odůvodnění 2014, supplemented by an extensive new research including methodological principles of defining the height composition of the city.

dětskýma očima lze poznávat historické krásy Prahy. Umožní vám to kniha Aleny Ježkové, uznávané české spisovatelky populárně naučných knih o české historii.Prožijte poetický příběh z magické Prahy, ve kterém kluk David a jeden neobyčejný pražský holub hledají ztraceného Žlutého lva. Čeká je přitom spousta dobrodružství a zvláštních setkání – s rytířem Bruncvíkem, zákeřným kocourem, kamennou Mořskou panenkou, denním strašidlem či rabínem Löwem. Zbude jim i čas na to, aby ochutnali vodnickou zmrzlinu, zaskákali si na kočičích hlavách, zacinkali písničku na zvony a povozili se parníkem po Vltavě. A malí, možná i velcí čtenáři potom snadno rozluští: Jak se hraje holubí hra na klobouky? Co se otevírá Zlatým klíčem? Jak se kreslí na vodu? A kolik je v Praze lvů?

Mladí bývají neklidní. S Natálií Kocábovou (1984) tomu nebylo jinak: prvotina v osmnácti, ve třiadvaceti pět knížek. K tomu sex, drogy a rock'n'roll. Kdysi jsem o ní napsal do Respektu: Rychle napsat, rychle vydat - a další. Natálie rychle psala, rychle vydávala, ale pak se začala "propisovat": s druhou knihou poezie (Někdo je v domě) a třetí prózou (Růže) došla sobě nadosah. Tempo zvolnilo, ohlasy a stylizace zčásti opadaly, křeč vzpoury proti všemu metamorfovala v jedinečné chvíle údivu a pokory. Změnily se "stravovací návyky": lehké maso postmoderny, kterým Natálie krmila agresivní vnějškovost svého psaní, vystřídal krvavý biftek vlastního života. Snění a fantazie vypověděly službu krátkodechým účelům a sblížily se s realitou. Iracionální se umazalo o konkrétní. Šestá kniha, The Dark Side of Prague, je toho očitým svědkem: pod vrstvou křiku citlivost, za vztekem milostnost, za nenávistí láska. Kulisy globální, aktéři v pohybu za svým stínem. Hledají tajemství světa a nastavují přitom obě tváře. A kdo hledá, najde: ostrovy harmonie vyplavené na hladinu chaosu. Radim Kopáč (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The first real guide to the top Prague gastronomy! In the Czech Republic, a number of prestigious restaurant charts has already emerged but each brought only an ordinary list, or anorder of selected restaurants without introducing the best spots in detail and explaining why they are the best, what types of meals they specialise in and what should the visitor taste and try.This narrative publication, The Best Prague Restaurants, comes with exactly the opposite concept. Lots of photos and detailed portraits of almost one hundred top restaurants will help the reader in the orientation. Where to go for the best traditional Czech, French, and Italian cuisine, not forgetting the cuisines of the Far East. You will also find here the information on where to try the dishes aspiring for a Michelin star. Each portrait of a restaurant represents not only the concept or philosophy of the establishment but also gives an idea of the restaurant’s atmosphere, best “signature dishes”, and skills of the chef or the wine list. At the same time, the guide recommends dishes which in the given restaurant you definitely shouldn’t miss. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Anglický průvodce po zmizelých památkách centra Prahy. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Pro vzhled, charakter a život Prahy je od jejího vzniku zcela zásadním faktorem Vltava, řeka, jejíž tok připravil reliéf krajiny k osídlení pražského kotliny a poté k utváření města, které vyrostlo v metropoli. V průběhu své historie si město řeku pozvolna podmaňovalo. Pražané se naučili využívat její energie v mlýnech a později elektrárnách, řečiště překlenovat různými typy mostů, upravit břehy a ostrovy, vybudovat nábřeží. Do proměn tváře řeky nejradikálněji vstoupilo zřejmě 19. století. Vltavské břehy, dosud většinou využívané jako hospodářské periferie, se proměňovaly v žádané lokality s výstavnými budovami, společenskými centry a elegantními promenádami. Ve vstupní části ukazuje autorka historické sepětí Prahy a Vltavy řeky, kdy vystupovaly do popředí zejména praktické funkce řeky, dnes už většinou vnímané jako estetický prvek, dotvářející malebný obraz města. V druhé části se pak stává průvodkyní komentující současné fotografie zajímavých objektů a míst spojujících Vltavu s Prahou, ať to jsou historické mlýny, jezy, náplavky, ostrovy, vodárenské věže, mosty, nábřeží s jejich budovami i řeka jako místo společenského života města. Kromě fotografií exteriérů provázejí text dokumentační snímky, rejstřík lokací s mapou objektů, přehled ostrovů, mostů, nábřeží a také osobností. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

An ex-con on compassionate release revisits his old haunts, only to feel dispossessed by how much the city has changed... The son of political dissidents in Soviet-era Prague is condemned to a life of menial jobs, like working at a local abattoir, unable to imagine his prospects ever improving... A young shop assistant in a tourist-friendly antique shop imagines what Prague would now look like if Czechoslovakia had stood up to the Nazis... The stories collected in this anthology show Prague to be a city of myriad layers and multiple histories. Famous for its untouched, Gothic and Baroque architecture and its trapped-in-aspic charm, it is also a place that has lived through numerous traumas over the last century and learned to conceal its scars, perhaps a little too well. Just as its landmarks should be preserved, so should these hidden histories, and sometimes the best place to preserve them is in stories.
