Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje
Mi történik akkor, amikor nincs senki, aki higgyen benned - csak te magad?
Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje - Amikor senki sem hisz benned egy mélyen személyes, igaz történetekre épülő könyv, amely azt vizsgálja, hogyan válhat az önmagunkba vetett hit életünk legfontosabb belső támaszává. Halasi Éva Thea saját életútján keresztül mesél azokról az időszakokról, amikor nem volt védőháló, nem volt biztos kapaszkodó, mégis újra és újra a belső hívásra hallgatva lépett tovább.
Egyedül megtett utazások, lehetetlennek tűnő szakmai és életbeli váltások, idegen országok, nyelvek és kultúrák tárulnak elénk - valamint az a folyamat, amikor az ember elveszíti, majd tudatosan újra felépíti az önmagába vetett hitét. A könyv nem kínál kész recepteket vagy hangzatos ígéreteket, helyette őszinte felismeréseket, megélt tapasztalatokat és csendes, mély erejű tanulságokat ad át.
Ez a kötet többek között azokhoz szól, akik életük fordulópontján állnak, akik egyedül érzik magukat az útjukon, vagy szeretnének visszatalálni belső stabilitásukhoz. Finom emlékeztető arra, hogy nem a körülményeink határoznak meg bennünket.
Etika mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu
Lidské jednání je spoluutvářeno teoretickými koncepty a názorovým systémem, který stojí v pozadí konkrétních etických postojů. Studie se soustředí na problematiku mezikulturního a mezináboženského soužití a zkoumá, co v této oblasti může nabídnout teologie a její pohled na některé podstatné společenské otázky (obavy z proměn společnosti, kulturní a náboženské rozrůzněnosti, migrace). Autorka vymezuje v teologické perspektivě základní pojmy a paradigmata pro interpretaci vztahů mezi různými kulturami (kultura, náboženství, multikulturalita, interkulturalita, dialog) a zkoumá vliv klíčových kategorií křesťanské epistemologie (trojičně-christologická výpověď o transcendenci, práce s reciprocitou a diferencí ve vztahu, kategorie agapé a kenósis) na utváření etických pravidel mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu.
Léto v New Yorku
Sedmadvacetiletá scenáristka Elle získá šanci napsat velkofilm zasazený do New Yorku, jenže ji trápí těžká tvůrčí krize. Vrací se proto do města, z něhož před rokem utekla, aby načerpala inspiraci přímo na místech, která musí do scénáře zapracovat. Jejím dočasným sousedem je ale miliardář Parker Warren, s nímž sice kdysi sdílela žhavou chvilku na schodišti, ale od té doby jí leží v žaludku. Nakonec spolu uzavřou oboustranně výhodnou dohodu: on potřebuje falešný vztah, aby působil solidněji během chystané akvizice, a ona potřebuje svou „zvrácenou múzu“, aby scénář zvládla dopsat. Je to celé jenom jako. Dokud najednou není…

Ninety-Three
A new translation by David Bellos of the last great novel by France's greatest novelist
In the turmoil of the French Revolution, the year 1793 represented the peak of bloody revolutionary violence. Victor Hugo plunges into this tumultuous period with a story of courage and betrayal across the political classes. As the revolution rages, three characters - a nobleman turned revolutionary, a devoted mother, and a zealous commander - find their fates intertwined in a struggle that tests their convictions and loyalties. Hugo's last great novel was also his most political and prophetic - and is the equal of Les Misérables in drama, emotion, adventure and sacrifice.
The Summer of Second Chances (Standard Edition)
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules comes another incredible summer romance about holding onto memories, making new ones, learning to let go, and unexpectedly falling in love.
Olivia Lupo feels stuck. All her friends have gone on to their first year of college while she's still at home with her family. There's a good reason though, her beloved grandmother, Annie, has dementia, and Olivia can't bear the thought of being so far from home when Annie needs her the most.
So when her stepmother asks the family to spend three weeks of the summer on Martha's Vineyard, Olivia plans to say no...until she discovers an old box Annie filled with photos and memories from her own time there. Olivia decides to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and spend some time on the island that Annie describes as magical.
When she arrives, she meets Connor, a boy from her past who really wants to be a part of her present... and future. Olivia's never thought about forever with someone until meeting Connor...and it scares her. How can she make plans when all she wants to do is keep close to her grandmother before she's gone forever? As she recreates the memories Annie made a lifetime ago, she has to decide if she's finally willing to give someone her heart, just when she needs it the most.
How To Think Like an Artist
An illuminating guide to history’s most influential and inspiring artists – from Leonardo da Vinci to Frida Kahlo – and how they can teach us to see the world more clearly. How did the greatest artists in history look at the world through new eyes? And what can we learn from the imagination, boldness and originality of their art? From the allusive frescos of the Renaissance to the cool irony of conceptual art in the 20th century, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest artists of the human age. Curator and writer Catherine Daunt interweaves the lives and loves of these great artists with moving and enlightening descriptions of their most famous and important works. This book takes the reader on a whirlwind journey through the greatest art of all time, and shows us how we can understand and interpret them. Daunt re-examines the canon, traditionally dominated by Western, white and male artists, and makes space for major figures from other cultures and traditions, as well as those who have been traditionally overlooked because of their gender or class. Every artist in this book has made a revolutionary contribution to art, changing the way that we view, depict and navigate our world.

Letters of the Queens of England
‘A serious and scholarly study of the role of the queen consort in medieval English political life.’ – Sunday Telegraph‘A useful collection of sources.’ – Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature‘A good read … shows [the medieval queens] as real people, not as the idealised heroines of romance, nor as faceless nonentities.’ – The RicardianWhile the role and character of England’s medieval and Tudor kings are well documented, surprisingly little attention has been paid to their often powerful and influential consorts. Letters of the Queens of England allows the queens to speak for themselves through their own correspondence, with each letter set in context alongside a general introduction on the role of the queen in medieval and Tudor England. Encompassing virtually every English queen from Matilda of Scotland to Katherine Parr, many of whom have been neglected by historians as faceless consorts, these letters reveal the queens’ character and power. They portray these women as considerable political figures in their own right, and as strong and intelligent members of society. Illustrated throughout and complemented by genealogical and marriage tables, this is an excellent reference source and a fascinating introduction to the foremost women of medieval and Tudor England.
Svatovítské varhany
Kniha přináší čtenáři fundovaný pohled na vývoj varhan od jejich počátků přes zakotvení ve středověké křesťanské liturgii až po proměny jejich funkce i technického řešení v průběhu staletí, se zvláštním důrazem na jejich svatovítskou tradici. Působivě zachycuje často dramatické osudy tohoto nástroje v pražské katedrále i jeho tvůrců, v nichž se zrcadlí dějiny celé země a střídají období rozkvětu, zániku i nenaplněných nadějí.
Tento pozoruhodný příběh vrcholí líčením nesnadné cesty ke zhotovení nových varhan v současnosti a jejich následné instalace v katedrále sv. Víta. Vznik nástroje a jeho zdařilá realizace představují symbolické završení dostavby tohoto chrámu z roku 1929, po téměř sto letech. Zvláštní význam tomuto počinu dodává i to, že nové varhany vznikly díky celonárodní sbírce, která spojila tisíce jednotlivců i institucí a umožnila vnést do majestátního chrámového prostoru důstojný hlas.
Publikace otevírá dosud v této šíři nezpracované téma, mimořádně aktuální právě v době dokončení varhan. Je v ní obsažena řada poznatků opřených o výzkum archivních dokumentů i novodobých pramenů, doplněných bohatým obrazovým materiálem včetně unikátních současných záběrů. Přestože je kniha odborně zaměřena, svým poutavým podáním osloví i širší veřejnost se zájmem o historii a umění.
Umění a jeho objekty
Klasická Wollheimova úvaha o umění zvažuje zásadní otázky, které se týkají reprezentace, výrazu, stylu, významu umělcova záměru a historické povahy umění. Přestože text vyšel poprvé v roce 1968, je dodnes vnímavým a podmanivým uvedením do filosofických otázek spojených s uměleckými díly a s klíčovou úlohou, jakou hrají v naší kultuře a společnosti. Díky autorově porozumění teorii umění, kritice, vnímání a povaze estetické hodnoty je tato práce jedním z nejvlivnějších děl o estetice, která se ve dvacátém století objevila.
Dichotismus - Centrální sluchové testy
Publikace shrnuje poznatky o centrálním sluchovém zpracování, dichotickém slyšení a jeho vztahu k vývojové dysfázii, zabývá se diagnostikou poruch centrálního sluchového a řečového zpracování u dětí s vývojovými poruchami jazyka, představuje nové metody jejich analýzy a provádí procesem vytváření a využití dichotických řečových testů v češtině, které rozšiřují spektrum českých audiologických vyšetření zaměřených na porozumění řeči. Knihu doplňuje soubor testů pro audiometrická vyšetření, dostupný ke stažení pro využití v klinické praxi.
