The Count of Monte Cristo
With an Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury The story of Edmund Dantes, self-styled Count of Monte Cristo, is told with consummate skill. The victim of a miscarriage of justice, Dantes is fired by a desire for retribution and empowered by a stroke of providence. In his campaign of vengeance, he becomes an anonymous agent of fate. The sensational narrative of intrigue, betrayal, escape, and triumphant revenge moves at a cracking pace. Dumas' novel presents a powerful conflict between good and evil embodied in an epic saga of rich diversity that is complicated by the hero's ultimate discomfort with the hubristic implication of his own actions.

Elements Architecture In Det.
Elements is the second volume in the 'Architecture in Detail' series, which presents a collection of new projects in which the designer's ideas are evident in the minor moments of space, such as the curve of a handrail, the profile of a cabinet, the form and texture of a wall. The images feature staircases to doors and windows, all used to shape a broad variety of residential, commercial, and institutional environments. The details often challenge our perceptions of elemental form, in some cases creating fanciful hybrids of many elements in one. All are records of the enormous conceptual presence a detail can hold as well as its power to infuse architecture with effects of poetry, delicacy, tension, and surprise.

A virág
"Shakespeare az emberi életnek nagyobb kiterjedését és változatosságát érti meg, mint Dante; de Dante a lealacsonyulás mélyebb és a felmagasztosulás magasabb fokára jutott el." (T. S. Eliot)
"Dante a provençal troubadurok és gótikus templomok tanítványa - de egyszersmind Arisztotelészé és Vergiliusé is. És ha vele belülről végigéljük e régi kor összes szellemi árnyalatait, melyeket ő mind magába olvasztott - az ateista epikureustól kezdve a misztikus franciskánusig - oly skálát futunk meg, melyhez hasonlót a mi korunkban is alig találnánk." (Babits Mihály: Dante fordítása)
"Franciaország, a nagy-középkor igazi hazája, egy olyan irodalmi művet sem hozott létre, amelyet mint méltó társat lehetne állítani székesegyházai mellé. Ilyen költő csak egy van: Dante, aki örök-művészi formába öntötte skolasztika és misztika nagy Isten-élményét, a középkor legfelsőbb szellemi mondanivalóját [...]." (Szerb Antal: A világirodalom története)

Living in Bali
Loved by travelers for its lush, tropical scenery, and charming people, Bali is considered to be one of the most magnificent places on earth. Spirituality and nature are integral parts of everyday life for the Balinese, so one can easily see why the island's traditional architecture has a peaceful presence to it, mimicking its surroundings and sometimes blending in with them. When it comes to Balinese houses, walls are not compulsory, wood is everywhere, earth tones are dominant, and thatched roofs abound. Opening onto gorgeous green landscapes, majestic mountains, or beautiful coastlines, the homes herein ooze relaxing, contemplative vibes. Gazing at these opulent examples of simple and elegant living, one wonders why more people aren't rushing to move to Bali...

Az őrző
A békés Rhode Island-i városban, Providence-ben élő Nina Grey - miközben édesapja halálát próbálja feldolgozni - váratlanul a Menny és a Pokol harcának közepébe csöppen. Eközben megismerkedik Jareddel, aki több egy jóképű srácnál. A fiú titokzatos képességei elterelik Nina figyelmét, ám hamarosan világossá válik, hogy Jared többet tud róla, mint a Brown Egyetemen a barátai. Amikor már több a kérdés, mint a válasz, Jared mindent kockára tesz szerelméért, akinek megmentésére született. Elárulja azt a titkot, amelynek megőrzésére felesküdött.
Amikor a sötétben apja korábbi társai követni kezdik, Nina ráébred, hogy az apja nem az az ember volt, akinek hitte, hanem egy tolvaj, aki ellopott valamit a démonoktól. Nina szeretné az igazságot, ám közben olyasmire bukkan, amire álmában sem gondolt, és amire a Pokolnak égető szüksége van, a Kulcs azonban egyedül Nina birtokában van...

Časovost a smrtelnost III.
Ve třetím díle studií Časovost a smrtelnost jsou předloženy tři vhledy do Heideggerovy myšlenkové cesty. V prvním se obšírně sleduje a interpretuje Heideggerův pokus o dopracování problematiky Bytí a času (1927) v jeho přednáškách Základní problémy fenomenologie (1927).
Zde však Heideggerova fundamentální ontologie začíná narážet na své vlastní meze, což posléze vede k postupné proměně Heideggerova přístupu k otázce souvislosti času a bytí. První výraznou podobu proměny Heideggerova myšlení pak sleduje v základních rysech druhý překládaný vhled, který vychází z Heideggerových Příspěvků k fi losofi i (1936). Třetí vhled pak na základě Heideggerových textů konce 30. a ze 40. let 20. století důsledně interpretuje dosah tohoto jinak promýšleného vztahu bytí a času pro porozumění lidské smrtelnosti a počáteční zřejmosti.

La Maison du Juge
Tombé en disgrâce sans trop savoir pourquoi, Maigret a été nommé en Vendée o il s'ennuie. Un jour pourtant, un douanier qu'il connaît lui envoie sa femme pour signaler la présence d'un cadavre dans la maison de leur voisin, un ancien juge en retraite. Maigret arrive dans un village de pcheurs méfiants, obéissant ses propres rgles et faisant front devant l'étranger. Ce que Maigret va découvrir force de patience dépasse le simple fait divers. Le juge ne nie pas. Il y avait bien un mort chez lui dont il a voulu se débarrasser la faveur de la marée. S'il n'avait jamais vu la victime et ne sait pas comment ni pourquoi l'inconnu est venu se faire tuer chez lui, le petit homme, remarquable de calme et de distinction, a bien d'autres choses raconter...
Calm: Calm the Mind. Change the World
Join the Calm revolution. Modern life is hectic and relentless: trains delayed, endless emails filling the inbox, kids squabbling before bedtime...There has never been a more important time to rediscover your pause button. Calm is the book that will show you how to take back a little bit of peace, space and all-important calm. This book contains the simple tools, tricks and habits that will change the rest your life. It is a practical and pleasurable guide to twenty-first century mindfulness. Regular meditation is medically proven to be good for you - it increases focus and creativity, productivity and job satisfaction, mental and even physical health. But in reality most of us don't have time to sit on a cushion with our eyes closed for half an hour every day. And many people associate meditation with hard work and huge lifestyle shifts: you might be imagining Buddhist monks locked in a mountain retreat and living off gruel...This is where Calm comes in. Calm is about simple, achievable habits that work with the demands of your busy life instead of pretending those demands don't exist. Calm does not require specialist training: it uses abilities that every single one of us is born with, like creativity, spontaneity and simply noticing the world around you. Calm is not a set of rules that you need to worry about following or breaking. It is inspirational, practical and non-prescriptive. Onerous, time-consuming meditation might seem out of reach but everyone can achieve calm - including you. Calm combines extracts from fascinating neurological research with wisdom from history's great thinkers and the real-life experiences of individuals across the globe. It demystifies mindfulness and shows you the many simple ways to be mindful while carrying on with your life. It is also a beautifully crafted object, filled with artwork and artistry, that will change your perspective by showing you the pleasures of the world anew. Take a walk with nowhere to go, savour a chocolate on the tip of your tongue, plant a seed, doodle aimlessly, turn off your mobile phone for five short minutes. Smile, breathe and go slowly. Calm is divided into eight sections that everyone should have in their life: nature; work; creativity; children; travel; relationships; food; and sleep. Each section contains a mixture of fascinating research, creative prompts, activities and instructions, sensory stimuli and inspiration. Pick up Calm whenever you need it, dip in and out, read it and choose which bits work best for you. Michael Acton Smith has written a game-changing book, one that will finally balance everyone's need for calm with the realities of modern life. Join the Calm revolution. Calm your mind; change your world.

World Music: A Very Short Introduction
'World music' emerged as an invention of the West from encounters with other cultures. This book draws readers into a remarkable range of these historical encounters, in which music had the power to evoke the exotic and to give voice to the voiceless. In the course of the volume's eight chapters the reader witnesses music's involvement in the modern world, but also the individual moments and particular histories that are crucial to an understanding of music's diversity. World Music is wide-ranging in its geographical scope, yet individual chapters provide in-depth treatments of selected music cultures and regional music histories. The book frequently zooms in on repertoires and musicians - such as Bob Marley, Bartok, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - and attempts to account for world music's growing presence and popularity at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
