eBook: This early work by E. T. A. Hoffmann was originally published in 1816. Born in Konigsberg, East Prussia in 1776, Hoffmann\'s family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works. Probably Hoffman\'s most well-known story, produced in 1816, is \'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King\', due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky\'s ballet The Nutcracker. In the same vein, his story \'The Sandman\' provided both the inspiration for Leo Delibes\'s ballet Coppelia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called \'The Uncanny\'. (Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the \"unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature.\") Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900\'s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When a mysterious Italian salesman comes to town, Nathanael\'s suspicions are reawakened, pushing him to the brink of madness as extraordinary events unfold.First published in 1816, this classic of German Gothic fiction has enthralled generations ever since, and has spawned countless interpretations by critics intrigued by its powerful symbolism.

1816/1817 – inspirováno CallotemProslulý německý fantasta Hoffmann, jeden z největších klasiku literárního hororu, považovaný za mistra svého oboru a zároveň průkopník moderní povídky. Poté, co napsal jeden ze svých nejhrůzostrašnějších románu Ďáblovy elixíry (Die Elixiere des Teufels – 1815/1816), vstoupil na pudu ještě hrozivější hrůzy, aby své ctitele uvrhl do vší ponurosti, do spáru záhadného Pískouna (Der Sandman), bytosti, která se vkrádá za tmy k nemluvňatům, aby jim vydloubala z očních důlků bulvy, kterými krmí své krvelačné potomky.

Ilustrované vydání jednoho z nejoriginálnějších a nejzábavnějších románů 19. století, který nemá v dějinách literatury obdoby, v kongeniálním překladu Hanuše Karlacha a s ilustracemi Michaila Gavričkova. Hoffmannovy Životní názory kocoura Moura, považované za vrchol autorovy tvorby a stěžejní opus pozdní německé romantiky, spatřily světlo světa již před dvěma sty lety, ale plného uznání, ocenění, ba nadšeného přijetí se dočkaly až ve 20. století. E. T. A. Hoffmann totiž předběhl svou dobu a stvořil dílo, které je svou formou a důmyslnou kompozicí vskutku ojedinělé: sám Hoffmann v něm vystupuje jako vydavatel, jenž vyhověl přání svého přítele a rozhodl se knižně vydat memoáry jistého "mladého autora skvělého nadání", jímž je ve skutečnosti kocour, který si říká Mour. Záhy se ovšem ukáže, že učený kocour do svého rukopisu omylem zamíchal stránky z jiného textu, který objevil u svého pána, a sice z knihy pojednávající o životě geniálního skladatele a kapelníka Johanna Kreislera. Tyto stránky, které kocour používal dílem jako podložku, dílem jako piják, byly nedopatřením rovněž vytištěny, a tak se ve výsledné podobě díla jakoby omylem prolínají dvě nezávislé dějové linie - satiricky vyznívající autobiografie poněkud samolibého kocoura-literáta a tajuplný příběh, přesněji řečeno fragmenty příběhu, výstředního romantického hrdiny-umělce Johanna Kreislera vystaveného všemožným protivenstvím. Životní názory kocoura Moura jsou tedy polyfonním dílem, svou výstavbou připomínajícím princip hudebního kontrapunktu. Zdánlivě nesouvisející příběhy se totiž ve skutečnosti doplňují, prostupují, jeden v druhém se zrcadlí a vzájemně osvětlují. Právě prolínání obou příběhů činí z četby tohoto "dvojrománu" nevšední čtenářský požitek. Řečeno slovy překladatele Hanuše Karlacha: "Tyto posuny, zrcadlení, přeskoky jsou zdrojem humoru, který má mnoho poloh, od laskavé úsměvnosti přes ironickou jízlivost až k satirické hořkosti; který však, a to je pro nás podstatné, se realizuje až ve čtenářově mysli, čtenářovou imaginací, která teprve dotváří dílo v komplementární celek a se kterou spisovatel zcela záměrně takto počítá. Tím vším je román nejen výsostným literárním dokladem doby, ale i rukavicí pravé modernosti hozenou přes průrvu času literárním tvůrcům soudobého světa, podnětem k zamyšlení, jaké že to dnes prvky činí literaturu vpravdě uměním."

eBook:,E. R. Curtiovi (1886-1956) se touto knihou podařilo napsat jedno ze stěžejních děl evropské literární vědy 20. století. Vzápětí po vydání byla přeložena do všech velkých evropských jazyků. Dokládá, že základem prakticky každé národní evropské literatury je společná latinská tradice. Před čtenářem defilují dvě tisíciletí evropských literárních dějin se všemi svými velkými jmény, od Homéra přes sv. Jeronýma k Dantovi, Shakespearovi či Goethovi. Východiskem výkladu je dokonalá filologická analýza textů. Jsou zde zpracovány všechny klíčové problémy literárních dějin, a to ve fascinujícím materiálovém záběru. Mezi nejzajímavější partie knihy patří rozbor literární "topiky", návratných obrazů, neustále se vynořujících z kolektivního podvědomí (tyto partie jsou inspirovány zejména dílem C. G. Junga). Vedle zájemců o literární dějiny má kniha svou popularitu i mezi klasickými filology, kunsthistoriky, historiky, filosofy, teology, sociology, psychology atd. Překlad: Jiří Pelán, Jiří Stromšík, Irena Zachová. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

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.
