Starověký Egypt a jeho všední život
Zjistěte, co jedli, kde spali a na co umírali staří Egypťané!
Málokterá starověká kultura nás dokáže uchvátit stejně jako Egypt. Ve srovnání s antikou však tato fascinující civilizace zanechala jen velmi málo textů, které by nám dovolily nahlédnout do každodenního života tehdejších lidí. Obraz někdejší reality proto musíme skládat kámen po kamínku jako barevnou mozaiku. Této mravenčí práce se ujali egyptologové, kteří zkoumají fragmenty osobní korespondence, lékařské papyry, detaily reliéfů i pohřební výbavu. Unikátní svědectví poskytují také opuštěná sídla, v nichž přebývali dávní stavitelé hrobek. Právě tyto drobné střípky postupně umožňují vytvářet obraz života v říši na Nilu, kterou považujeme za jednu z kolébek civilizace. Začtěte se do stránek této publikace a přijměte pozvání do egyptské domácnosti. Věříme, že vás tato návštěva skutečně obohatí.
Rodina a dětství
Poznejte porod, rané dětství a mladá léta v říši na Nilu.
Jak se žilo?
Jak vypadalo vnitřní vybavení prostých domků dělníků a rolníků i luxusních paláců?
Od otroka po faraona
Pronikněte do tajů všech společenských vrstev a seznámte se s faraonem i spodinou společnosti.
Jídlo a pití
Jaký byl staroegyptský jídelníček a co lidem poskytovala úrodná říční delta?

This is your moment to remember who you truly are and to reclaim the life your soul came here to live.
Slavery and the Jews of Medieval Egypt
A new global history of the slave trade, the lives of enslaved people, and the role of slavery in the formation of Jewish and Arab-Islamic culture in the medieval Middle EastIn this book, Craig Perry mines a remarkable cache of fragmentary documents preserved in an Egyptian synagogue to write a new history of slavery and the slave trade in the medieval Middle East. These documents—which range from the everyday correspondence of traveling merchants to legal queries sent to Jewish jurists—provide the richest surviving archive for the social history of slavery during the centuries when Cairo was an imperial and commercial capital at the intersection of the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean worlds. Perry draws on this archive, known as the Cairo Geniza, to shed new light on such crucial topics as the slave trade in state diplomacy, the entanglements of gender and household slavery, and the lives of the enslaved. Perry chronicles a protean slave trade that trafficked enslaved people from Europe, Africa, and India to the Egyptian market. His account cuts across different scales of analysis, from the macro-level of imperial rule to the micro-level of the family kitchen. Along the way, he upends the traditional story of Passover; medieval Jews, he writes, could explain slavery to their children by pointing to the enslaved people who served the holiday meal. When freed, some former slaves converted to Judaism and became the parents of Jewish children. Perry’s narrative reveals a world, long hidden from historians, in which enslaved people made their way through the alleys of Cairo, toiled in the workshops of apothecaries, and found ways to evade the surveillance of their owners. With this book, Perry writes enslaved people into the social and economic life of medieval Islamic society.

Grafický román v kontextu německé literární kultury 21. století
Pojem grafický román se v německojazyčném prostoru od počátku 21. století proměnil z marketingového označení v respektovanou literární a uměleckou kategorii. Z původně okrajového fenoménu se stal plnohodnotný předmět literárněvědného bádání i kulturní reprezentace. Tato publikace sleduje cestu grafického románu k uznání a mapuje její tematickou i formální rozmanitost.
Grafické romány se dotýkají dějin i současnosti: reflektují nacismus, holocaust či život v NDR, zabývají se migrací, rasismem, genderovými otázkami nebo ekologickou krizí a zároveň otevírají intimní, autobiografické i psychologické perspektivy. Vedle dokumentárních a osobních výpovědí zde nacházíme fikci i adaptace kanonických literárních děl.
Kniha ukazuje, že síla grafického románu spočívá nejen v tématech, ale i v inovativních vypravěčských postupech – v experimentální práci s obrazem, textem a stránkovou kompozicí, která narušuje lineární vyprávění a propojuje individuální zkušenost s kolektivní pamětí. Grafický román se tak dnes profiluje jako klíčové médium na pomezí literatury a výtvarného umění a jako významný nástroj kulturní reflexe 21. století.
Nová éra. Čínská politika za vlády Si Ťin-pchinga
Po svém nástupu do čela Číny představil Si Ťin-pching heslo „čínského snu“, které následně spojil se snahou o vytvoření „nové éry“. Na pozadí těchto představ začal proměňovat řadu do té doby platných a klíčových principů čínské domácí i zahraniční politiky. Cílem této knihy je charakterizovat podobu politického projektu Si Ťin-pchinga a jeho obecnou politickou strategii od roku 2012 až do současnosti. Kniha analyzuje vstupní předpoklady, klíčové volby a dilemata, které jeho vládu charakterizují, a to v oblastech týkajících se organizace čínské politiky, ideologie, zdrojů moci a její projekce. Publikace tak pokrývá řadu zásadních témat, která určují současnost i budoucnost Číny. Patří mezi ně například koncentrace osobní moci Si Ťin-pchinga, vztah k Tchaj-wanu
a dalším klíčovým zájmovým oblastem, přístup k mezinárodnímu řádu či snaha o strukturální ekonomické reformy. Zároveň poukazuje na podobnosti i odlišnosti Si Ťin-pchingovy vlády ve srovnání s předchozími čínskými vůdci, především Mao Ce-tungem a Teng Siao-pchingem.

Needs That Bind
Needs That Bind reconsiders the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire and the construction of new regimes in the decade after World War I, to understand the consequential connections that remained among the new republican regime in Turkey and neighboring French and British Mandates in Syria-Lebanon and Iraq. Orçun Can Okan examines how these new states and their people managed problems of state succession through diplomatic, administrative, and legal interactions with and between bureaucracies. He foregrounds pressing questions of nationality as they were experienced by a diverse group of social actors, men and women, rich and poor. Okan tracks previously untapped Ottoman records, now spread across multiple regimes, to investigate claims to retirement pensions, alimony cases between former spouses who became nationals of different states, and disputes over land, property, and assets held in pious endowments. It is through these types of interactions and connections, he argues, that newly emerged post-Ottoman regimes materialized basic norms and understandings about nationality—an understanding more similar to subjecthood to state authority than rights-based citizenship. With an engaging, grounded historical narrative, this book contributes to thinking historically and critically about the tangible stakes and practical significance of nationality in times of profound political change and institutional instability.

Death Drive
Cars have a talismanic quality. No other manufactured object has the same disturbing allure. More emotions are involved in cars and car design than in any other product: vanity, cupidity, greed, social competitiveness and cultural modelling. But when all this perverse promise ends in catastrophe, these same talismanic qualities acquire an extra dimension.The car crash is a defining phenomenon of popular culture. Death Drive is both an appreciative essay about the historic place of the automobile in the modern imagination and a detailed exploration of the circumstances of 24 celebrity car crashes, from Isadora Duncan in an Amilcar, in 1927, to Helmut Newton in a Cadillac, in 2004. The author concludes by confronting the imminent demise of the car itself.
King of Kings
A spellbinding narrative history of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its devastating consequences by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia.
Before the revolution, the Shah of Iran seemed invincible. The world watched in awe as he commanded a huge army and oversaw an economy awash with billions of dollars of oil revenues. The regime's secret police had crushed communist opposition and the Shah appeared to have bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. On the international stage, Iran had become an invaluable ally to the West during the Cold War.
But village streets spoke of a different country - people derided the Shah as an American lackey and blamed him for economic inequality, for spending recklessly on lavish parties and for ignoring the Muslim majority. When a volcanic religious revolution erupted, led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shah was forced off the throne and into exile. How did it all go so wrong?
Brilliantly brought to life by the Sunday Times bestselling author Scott Anderson, this gripping behind-the-scenes narrative reveals how the Iranian Revolution was as world-shattering an event as the French and Russian revolutions, and how its repercussions are still felt around the world today. In the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, and now in Europe and the United States, the hatred of economically-marginalized, religiously-fervent masses for a wealthy secular elite has led to violence and upheaval - and Iran was the template.
Writing Timbuktu
The long overlooked, centuries-long, culture of the book in West AfricaPrinted books did not reach West Africa until the early twentieth century. And yet, between the fifteenth and twentieth centuries, literate and curious readers throughout the region found books to read—books that were written and copied by hand. In Writing Timbuktu, Shamil Jeppie offers a history of the book as a handwritten, handmade object in West Africa. Centering his account in the historic city of Timbuktu, Jeppie explores the culture of the “manuscript-book”—unbound pages, often held together by carefully crafted leather covers. He describes the most important and most prolific scholars and their works, the subjects they covered, and ways these books were circulated, collected, and preserved. The authors of the manuscript-books wrote to demonstrate their knowledge to their peers, expound theological and legal opinions, and engage in scholarly disputation. After beginning his account in Timbuktu, Jeppie traces the literary connections among places as distant as Marrakesh in the north and Sokoto in the south, and smaller settlements in between. He chronicles the work of Ahmad Baba in late sixteenth-century Timbuktu and his students in early seventeenth-century Marrakesh; the emergence of writers in the eighteenth century in what today is Mauritania; the writings of the scholar-rulers of Sokoto, northern Nigeria, in the nineteenth century; and the eventual discovery of the manuscript-book world of West Africa by European travelers and French colonial officials. Finally, Jeppie finds that the handwritten text persisted even after the advent of the printed book, and even among writers whose books were in print, including the famous Malian novelist Amadou Hampâté Bâ.
The Kings of Algiers
A richly detailed history of the Bacris and the Busnachs, two renowned Jewish families whose influence and reputation shook the capitals of Europe and AmericaAt the height of the Napoleonic Wars, the Bacri brothers and their nephew, Naphtali Busnach, were perhaps the most notorious Jews in the Mediterranean. Based in the strategic port of Algiers, their interconnected families traded in raw goods and luxury items, brokered diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, and lent vital capital to warring nations. For the French, British, and Americans, who competed fiercely for access to trade and influence in the region, there was no getting around the Bacris and the Busnachs. The Kings of Algiers traces the rise and fall of these two trading families over four tumultuous decades in the nineteenth century. In this panoramic book, Julie Kalman restores their story—and Jewish history more broadly—to the histories of trade, corsairing, and high-stakes diplomacy in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath. Jacob Bacri dined with Napoleon himself. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Horatio Nelson considered strategies to circumvent the Bacris’ influence. As the families’ ambitions grew, so did the perils, from imprisonment and assassination to fraud and family collapse. The Kings of Algiers brings vividly to life an age of competitive imperialism and nascent nationalism and demonstrates how people and events on the periphery shaped perceptions and decisions in the distant metropoles of the world’s great nations.

Washington Is Burning
Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington - a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.
Unsung Heroines
Why are there so few public monuments honoring women? Unsung Heroines shows it's time to claim that space!Women are grossly underrepresented in all of the Bay Area's public spaces, but not because they didn't exist! Did you know about Charlotte Brown, a Black woman in San Francisco who in 1863 took the city's transportation system to court for forcibly removing her from a streetcar, and won her landmark case? How about the first Chinese-American woman to register to vote, Clara Chan Lee, who went on to start the Chinese Women's Self-Reliance Association? Or Barbara May Cameron, a Native American writer, photographer, and activist who co-founded the first gay American Indian liberation organization? How many other notable women who deserve public recognition have been written out of the history of our regio? rawn from award-winning journalist Rae Alexandra's KQED Arts & Culture series, "Rebel Girls From Bay Area History," Unsung Heroines is a collection of 35 short profiles honoring the contributions of a diverse group of women from San Francisco, the East Bay, and the greater Bay Area, from the very first years of the founding of San Francisco to the present day. Educators and organizers, adventurers and entertainers, these inspiring women had a profound impact on our region. Together, their stories constitute a new telling of the history of Northern California from the vantagepoint of women who made a difference. A reader's perspective will be permanently altered by the realization of just how many of these untold stories have been lost to time, encouraging them to scan their own environment for traces of women whose stories deserve to be recovered and told.
