Poutní umění ve středověku jako tělesný zážitek, 5. vydanie
Když se řekne středověká pouť, mnozí si dnes představí takřka fanatický náboženský akt. Taková představa se zakládá na moderních předsudcích o středověkém náboženství, které je dnes běžně spojováno s iracionalitou, manipulací, absencí tolerance a často i násilím.
Jak ale ve skutečnosti probíhala středověká pouť? Jak vypadal středověký poutník a svět kolem něj? A jaký je vztah poutnictví a umění?
To jsou některé z otázek, na něž tato kniha hledá odpovědi. Doprovází středověkého poutníka na cestě krajinou až do cíle jeho cesty, interiéru kostela, a ukazuje, jak v něm díky umění, vůni kadidla, světlu svící a příjemnému chladu zažíval posvátno všemi smysly. Jedna věc se zdá být jistá: v předmoderním světě stejně jako dnes bylo putování zážitkem, který proměňoval život a nenechal nikoho lhostejným.

The Grand Tour Guide to the World
The world is a big place full of interesting things. And The Grand Tour has seen some of them. That's why few people are better placed to lead you around this vast planet of ours than Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. As long as you don't mind getting hot and lost. Welcome, everyone, to The Grand Tour Guide to The World. In this indispensable guide, you will find an abundance of information, most of which is probably wrong and possibly dangerous. As well as occasionally accurate guides to the places visited on the show, you'll find exclusive interviews with the presenters and discover their favourite locations for car-based cocking about. As well as being a factually dubious encyclopaedia, The Grand Tour Guide to the World is also a travel companion for those of you who have been inspired by the Grand Tour circus. You'll find tips on how to sing like a native in the Bahamas, how to speak Welsh (wrongly), and how to navigate the magic roundabout in Swindon. On top of all this, we reveal the world's fastest cop cars and the greatest car makers. And there's a picture of James May in an anorak.

How to Play the Piano
Learn to play one of Bach's most exquisite preludes in just 6 weeks, even if you have never played the piano before.An accessible and inspiring book by the pianist and international bestselling writer James Rhodes, who promises that it gives anyone with two hands, a piano or an electric keyboard and just 45 minutes a day the tools they need to learn to play Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C Major in 6 weeks, even if they know nothing about music and have never even touched a piano before.How often do we convince ourselves that it's just too late - too late to learn how to ride a bike, too late to know how to meditate, too late to travel the world... As we get older and time slips through our fingers like water, we become resigned, almost defeatist, about abandoning our dreams. For James Rhodes, after the inevitable "How many hours a day do you practice?" and "Show me your hands", the most common thing people say to him when they hear he's a pianist is "I used to play the piano as a kid. I really regret giving it up". Where does this mourned and misplaced creativity go? For Rhodes, it's still there to be tapped into by all of us, at any point. This inspirational book gives us the means to do this, by breaking up Bach's seminal Prelude No. 1 from the Well-Tempered Clavier into manageable segments, teaching us the basics of piano playing - how to read music, the difference between the treble and the bass clef, sharp and flat notes, how to practice etc.. - and encouraging personal interpretation in a way that is guaranteed to soothe the mind, feed the soul and unleash creative powers we didn't know we still had. All of this will culminate in an ability to perform one of Bach's masterpieces."If listening to music is soothing for the soul, then playing music is achieving enlightenment. It's going from kicking a ball around with a few pals to playing alongside Ronaldo."

How to Think Like Sigmund Freud
The work of Sigmund Freud, one of the most important thinkers of the past two hundred years, redefined the fields of neurology and psychotherapy and the way we view the human mind. Most strands of the psychoanalytic discipline can even today be traced back to the leaps in understanding he made all those years ago. But his greatest success was to make the esoteric mainstream. The Oedipus complex, transference, the unconscious, repression, free association, the libido: these are all ideas and techniques from the Freud school of thought that have permeated the public consciousness. How to Think Like Sigmund Freud examines these and more in a quest to know one mind above all: that of a person who struggled with his own neuroses while attempting to understand those of others. Discover how the motivations and philosophies of a man who dared to tackle issues others feared to transformed what was a murky study into a real science. With this book you too can think like the man who came to comprehend the human condition better than any other.

Keď sa v dedine objaví tajomná krajčírka, Mercy, Jane a ostatné dámy sa s ňou pokúsia spriateliť, ale čoskoro im začne byť jasné, že nie je tým, za koho sa vydáva. Ženy z Ivy Hillu sa tešia na jednu svadbu, ale čakajú ich mnohé prekvapenia a niektoré sny sa ešte môžu stať skutočnosťou.
Nevidím ani tmu
Málokdo projde životem bez šrámů. Na někoho je toho ale naloženo tolik, že si říkáme, jak to jen může unést? S šesti ženami, které si v životě vytáhly černého Petra, hovořil známý publicista Aleš Palán. Jsou to rozhovory o těch nejtěžších věcech, jaké mohou člověka potkat, přitom nejsou o bolesti a zklamání. Jsou o síle, která se rodí až v průběhu boje, a o naději, která je pevná tehdy, pokud je zkoušená. A zkoušek ty ženy zažívají celou řadu Jedna je čerstvě plnoletá, druhé táhne na osmdesát, jedna žije ve městě, druhá na venkově, oporu hledají ve víře, v humoru, ve vzdoru... Jsou rozdílné. Spojuje je to, jak jsou nezdolné a otevřené. Šest niterných příběhů, které mohou sloužit jako inspirace čtenářkám i čtenářům. Málokdo přece projde životem bez šrámů
Rozhovory doprovázejí fotografie přední české fotografky Alžběty Jungrové.

To the Lighthouse
A pioneering work of modernist fiction, using her unique stream-of-consciousness technique to explore the inner lives of her characters, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Stella McNichol, with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee. To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group', an informal collective of artists and writers that exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay. If you enjoyed To the Lighthouse, you might like James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, also available in Penguin Classics.
