Master Pavol and his Altar
Find out about the tallest Gothic winged altar in the world!
The Basilica of St. James in Levoča features a unique work of art: the tallest late-Gothic winged altar in the world (18.62 metres tall). It was created by master-woodcarver Pavol of Levoča (born around 1460, died between 1537 - 1542), one of the few medieval artists working in this region who are known by name. He was commissioned to work on a new high altar sometime after 1500, probably at the bidding of local nobleman Ján Thurzo. Creating this altar required several years of preparation and wood-carving work, not only by Master Pavol himself but involving all the craftsmen in his workshop as well. The altar was completed in 1508; it was the largest in central Europe at that time, and its retable (the vertical altarpiece) remains to this day one of the greatest artworks of its kind in Europe north of the Alps.
This guide to Master Pavol and his high altar will familiarize you with the life of Master Pavol himself, the background to the creation of the famous Levoča altar and the atmosphere of the period in which this important religious artwork was made, and it also presents a detailed interpretation of the altar's features. Another equally worthwhile part of the guide is its extraordinary pictorial content: a unique collection of photographs by world-famous Czech photographer Jan William Drnek.

Islam a islamismus
Naboženstvi nebo politicka ideologie nasili a zotročeni? Islam nebo islamismus? Dilema znepokojujici svět, kde žiji muslimove, dnešni Evropu a Zapad nevyjimaje. Představa, že islam se vzdal politickych ambici a skonči jako individualně žita zbožnost, se v minulem stoleti zařadila k optimistickym vizim linearniho pokroku lidstva. Modernizace v podobě tureckeho sekularniho republikanstvi a nasledně arabsky nacionalismus posilaly na okraj dějin sny o obnově vitězici a svět dobyvajici odevzdanosti Allahově vůli zprostředkovane Koranem a přikladem proroka Muhammada. Karta se obratila a muslimsky svět zachvatila krize jeho identity. Selhavani shora diktovane sekularizace a modernizace, nezvladnuta dekolonizace, navrat naboženstvi do moderni doby, iranska revoluce, kterou si přivlastnilo a islamizovalo šiitske duchovenstvo, to vše oživuje iluze o islamu schopnem řidit svět.

Pride and Prejudice - Pýcha a předsudek
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Mr Darcy, she finds him proud and aloof. He also seems indifferent to her, despite her good looks and vivacious wit. And when she discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, Elizabeth is determined to dislike him more than ever. As misunderstandings grow, scandal breaks out and romance blossoms. Both Elizabeth and Darcy come to understand the folly of their prejudices and learn that first impressions may not always be reliable.
Když se Elizabeth Bennetová poprvé setká s panem Darcym, starým mládencem a zároveň výhodnou partií, zdá se jí nafoukaný a odtažitý. A také lhostejný k její osobě, přestože je Elizabeth hezká, temperamentní a bystrá. Když Elizabeth navíc zjistí, že se Darcy zapletl do komplikovaného vztahu svého přítele Bingleyho a její milované sestry Jane, její antipatie vůči němu jen vzrostou. Dochází k řadě nedorozumění a vypukne skandál, ale přitom také rozkvete láska. Elizabeth i Darcy pochopí pošetilost svých předsudků a poučí se, že první dojem nemusí být vždycky ten správný.

Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And
I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare.
Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . .
and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.
Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

Paycheck and Other Classic Stories by Philip K. Dick
With a Preface by the Author and an Introduction by Roger Zelazny "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe inspiring." --"The Washington Post" Readers worldwide consider Philip K. Dick to have been the greatest science fiction writer on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now presented annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. This collection draws from the writer's earliest short and medium-length fiction (including several previously unpublished stories), written during the years 1952-1955, and features such fascinating stories as "Paycheck " (adapted as a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman), "Beyond Lies the Wub, The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford, The Variable Man," and many others. Here, readers will find Dick's initial explorations of the themes he so brilliantly brought to life in his later work. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" More recently, Dick's short story "The Minority Report " inspired Steven Spielberg's movie of the same title. The classic stories of Philip K. Dick offer an intriguing glimpse into the imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. "Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable." --"The New York Times Book Review" "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --"The Wall Street Journal"

Islám a muslimská obec
Další svazek knižní řady Náboženské tradice světapředstavuje vývojově třetí a nejmladší náboženský systém - islám - jemuž dalo vzniknout semitské civilizační prostředí Předního východu. Autor přistupuje k islámu z pozic kulturního antropologa, který se pouští za hranice normativního islámu a pomocí empirického výzkumu se noří do hlubin islámské každodennosti. Vychází z premisy, že islám je náboženství spíše ortopraktické , které lkade větší důzar na zákonodárnou povahu zjeveného slova Božího a na naplňování zbožnosti v praktickém životě věřících.

You Are Beautiful and You Are Alone
The real story of Nico is one of determination, self-destruction and belief in one's artistic vision, at any cost . . .
You Are Beautiful and You Are Alone is an empowering reappraisal of an underappreciated icon. Drawing upon new interviews and rare archival material Bickerdike defies the sexist casting of Nico's life as the tragedy of a beautiful woman losing her youth and fame, and instead cements her legacy as one of the most vital artists of her generation.
Too Much and Never Enough
In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald's only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world's health, economic security and social fabric.
Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents' large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.
A first-hand witness, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humour to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald's place in the family spotlight and Ivana's penchant for regifting to her grandmother's frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump's favourite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer's.
Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists and journalists have sought to explain Donald Trump's lethal flaws. Mary Trump has the education, insight and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider's perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world's most powerful and dysfunctional families.

Miluj bližního svého - Love and War
Novela indického autora Sumita Mullicka, která vychází ve dvojjazyčném česko-anglickém vydání, je prvním vykročením tohoto zajímavého spisovatele mezi české čtenáře. Aby mohl být člověk píšícím rebelem, musí mít fantazii. Musí být rebelem s fantazií. Sumit Mullick je takovouto osobností. Zavádí nás do světa fantazie se zcela reálnými problémy, které však zobrazuje tak, že nás nutí současně se smát i bát.Novela Miluj bližního svého hovoří jakoby Čechům ze srdce. Čechům, z nichž většina ke svému životu nepotřebuje církev ani omezující zákony, ale o to víc si cení obyčejné lidské svobody a světských radostí. Kdyby ji napsal český autor, pobavili bychom se, ale fakt, že vzešla z pera indického spisovatele, který hovoří "naší řečí", jí dává neobvykle pikantní příchuť. Dostává se k nám touto formou poselství, nad nímž máme tendenci mávnout rukou, ale jež nás nutí k zamyšlení díky situacím vyhroceným ad absurdum, neumožňuje nám uniknout, buší nás do očí a křičí na nás ze stránek. Při čtení se budete velmi dobře bavit.Novela je původně součástí širšího souboru povídek s (do češtiny nepřeložitelným) názvem "Fairyish Tales", které jsou jakýmisi příběhy neskutečného skutečna. Titul Miluj bližního svého je první vlaštovkou z tohoto cyklu.Sumit Mullick o sobě: "Žiji v Indii, kde pracuji a píšu. Pocházím z Kalkaty, kde jsem strávil svá formující léta. Cítím, že Indie je pro psaní fantastickým místem. Indie, která je jak moderní, tak starodávná, a často lavíruje mezi těmi dvěma. To se pak projevuje v některých velmi legračních sociálních normách a zmatené definici morálky. Jako spisovatel věřím, že je mou zásadní povinností toto zmatení snižovat a napomáhat pochopení. Pochopení s sebou obvykle přináší pokrok a pokrok většinou přináší spokojenost."
