Úvahy o žalmoch
"Toto nie je vedecká štúdia. Nie som hebraista ani biblický kritik, ani odborník na starovek či archeológ. Píšem pre nevzdelaných o veciach, v ktorých sám nemám vzdelanie. Ak sa treba nejako ospravedlniť (a asi áno) za to, že som sa pustil do písania takejto knihy, moje ospravedlnenie bude znieť približne takto: Často sa stáva, že dvaja školáci si dokážu nezrozumiteľné učivo navzájom vysvetliť lepšie, než by to dokázal učiteľ."
Kniha Lewisových úvah nad vybranými žalmami prináša inšpirujúci pohľad na túto zbierku hebrejskej poézie a otvára pred čitateľom nové možnosti pohľadu na celú Knihu žalmov. Vracia jej to, na čo mnohí pozabudli, totiž že ide predovšetkým o poetické vyjadrenie vzťahu medzi človekom a Bohom.
Táto práca je mnohými odborníkmi na texty Starého zákona odporúčaná ako jeden z najlepších komentárov ku Knihe žalmov.
Caribbean Art
A new, updated and expanded edition of this classic survey on the history of Caribbean art, featuring the work of over 100 artists from the period of colonialism to the present day.
Caribbean Art presents and discusses the diverse, fascinating and highly accomplished work of Caribbean artists, whether indigenous or from the diaspora, popular or 'high' culture, rural or urban based, politically radical or religious. This expanded edition has a new preface, and has been updated to reflect on recent challenges to the ideological premises and institutions of conventional art-historical practice and their connections to histories of colonialism, Eurocentricity and race. Two new chapters focus on public monuments linked to the history of the Caribbean, and the intersections between art and tourism, raising important questions about cultural representation.
Featuring the work of internationally recognized artists such as Sonia Boyce, Christopher Cozier, Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Ebony G. Patterson, Herve Telemaque, and more than 100 others working across a variety of media, this new edition makes an important contribution to the understanding of Caribbean art and its context, in ways that invite and encourage further explorations on the subject.

Hardy Women
A TOP BOOK FOR 2024 IN: THE OBSERVER, INDEPENDENT, SUNDAY TIMES AND BOOKSELLER
'He understands only the women he invents - the others not at all'
Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women?
In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy's life through the eyes of the women who made him - mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women's lives in the nineteenth century.
Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet.
Impressionist Art
Brushwork revolution: The neglected champions of ImpressionismIt was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work s title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art.As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world s favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their atmospheric evocation of time and place, as well as the stylistic flair of rapid brushstrokes upon canvas.Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications, many areas and artists of Impressionism remain inadequately researched. This TASCHEN book fills the gap, raising the profile of unjustly neglected pioneers such as Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and Gustave Caillebotte, while exploring the characteristics of Impressionism, from painting en plein air to vivid color contrasts, not only in the movement s native France but also across the rest of Europe and North America.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm s delight never bore, always excite!"

Lacná kniha Révélation (-90%)
Stephenie Meyer's life changed dramatically on June 2, 2003. The stay-at-home mother of three young sons woke-up from a dream featuring seemingly real characters that she could not get out of her head. "Though I had a million things to do (i.e. making breakfast for hungry children, dressing and changing the diapers of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts away in the right place), I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. Unwillingly, I eventually got up and did the immediate necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat down at the computer to write--something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why I was bothering." Meyer invented the plot during the day through swim lessons and potty training, then writing it out late at night when the house was quiet. Three months later she finished her first novel, Twilight.
Twilight was one of 2005's most talked about novels and within weeks of its release the book debuted at #5 on The New York Times bestseller list.Among its many accolades, Twilight was named an "ALA Top Ten Books for Young Adults," an Amazon.com "Best Book of the Decade&So Far", and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year. The movie version of Twilight will be released by Summit Entertainment nationwide on November 21, 2008, starring Kristen Stewart ("Into The Wild") and Robert Pattinson ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
The highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, was released in September 2006 and spent 31 weeks at the #1 position on The New York Times bestseller list. Eclipse, the third book in Meyer's Twilight saga, was released on August 7, 2007 and sold 150,000 copies its first day on-sale. The book debuted at #1 bestseller lists across the country, including USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. The fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, was published on August 2, 2008, with a first printing of 3.2 million copies - the largest first printing in the publisher's history. Breaking Dawn sold 1.3 million copies its first day on-sale rocketing the title to #1 on bestseller lists nationwide.
Meyer's highly-anticipated debut for novel adults, The Host, was released by Little, Brown and Company in May 2008 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English Literature. She lives in Arizona with her husband and sons.

Lacná kniha Devils Star (-70%)
A young woman is murdered in her Oslo flat. One finger has been severed from her left hand, and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star — a pentagram, the devil’s star.
Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on notice to quit the force and is left with little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor and get to work.
A wave of similar murders is on the horizon. An emerging pattern suggests that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands, and the five-pointed devil’s star is key to solving the riddle.

Čchi-kung pro zdravý mozek
Taoistické meditační praktiky pro zvýšení a udržení mentálního uvědomění, paměti a jasnosti. Kniha: podrobně popisuje techniky pro zvýšení hladiny energie čchi v mozku vysvětluje, jak synchronizovat levou a pravou hemisféru aktivací tělesných energetických potenciálů názorně ukazuje, že díky vyprázdnění mysli získáme víc energie pro léčení těla Čchi-kung pro zdravý mozek studenty učí, jak revitalizovat mozek: uvést do pořádku jeho funkci, posílit paměť a rozšířit kapacitu. Každý den spotřebujeme tolik mozkových sil na běžné fungování, že už nám na konci dne téměř žádné nezbývají. Přemíra myšlení či starostí způsobuje, že mozek dokáže spotřebovat až 80 procent veškerých energetických rezerv těla. Když se naučíte zastavit mozek, vyprázdnit hlavu od neustálého brebentění „opičí mysli“ a následně mozek dobít energií čchi, zvýšíte svou mentální kapacitu, soustředění a jasnost. Pomocí meditační techniky „vnitřní úsměv“ se studenti naučí dobíjet mozek energií čchi v takové formě, která bude nejužitečnější. Cvičící se usmívají a vyprazdňují mysl do dolního tan-tchienu a orgánů. Orgány pak transformují tuto energii čchi. Jakmile je mysl prázdná, může být energie transformovaná orgány poslána zpět do mozku, aby ho oživila. Tento proces synchronizuje levou a pravou hemisféru jejich aktivací a napojením na energetické potenciály těla. Jak se mysl nadále vyprazdňuje, přijímá a současně zesiluje transformovanou energii čchi, je schopná se otevřít a spojit se s univerzálními energiemi čchi a naplnit tělo kvalitnější životní silou.
