Error 404
Thursday 1st September 2039. On the centenary of the Second World War, atheist scientist Chris Deckers exploits the planet’s most powerful computer to reveal something so cataclysmic it makes five thousand years of recorded human history – wars, empires, revolutions, the lot – look like an underwhelming warm-up act.ERROR 404: GOD NOT FOUND.Yup. According to the most intelligent intelligence on the planet, the big old guy, as advertised, is a big old lie, dreamt up by Bronze Age shepherds who figured the only way to stop everyone coveting their oxen was to invent a punitive sky parent with an eggshell ego. And they left irrefutable evidence of their shaggy God story behind.Deckers should be rejoicing as his rational Eden is born. Instead, the baby’s screaming. Civilisation has lost its existential marbles and the God-shaped hole he crowbarred open is being rapidly filled by something far more sinister.In a race to save humanity’s soul, Deckers must face the one question he never thought to ask. What if faith matters more than facts?

Žoldnéři fantasie: Piráti z Karibiků
Dnes již zpola zapomenutý romanopisec Robert Louis Stevenson přivedl na scénu piráta Dlouhého Johna Silvera (a v komiksech dodnes figuruje jeho postava dvou tváří dr. Jekyll a pan Hyde). Piráti tak okupují hladinu novodobé dobrodružné literatury, ale daří se jim v i zátočinách fantastiky: skryté poklady střežené nestvůrami a bájná města v džunglích, prokleté předměty i zbraně, strašliví, bezcitní kapitáni (jako Flint).
Uplyne sto dvacet let pirátské literární slávy, než se filmaři rozhodnou Prokletím Černé perly (2003) tématu vzdát čest směsí tradičních klišé (často obracených naruby) okořeněných černým humorem a geniálním hereckým výkonem Johnnyho Deppa. Načež uplyne další čtvrtstoletí a dnes v našem sborníku můžete nahlédnout do vítězného textu na stejné vlně, kde ve strážním koši zírá do dáli elf, poklady jsou stále neměnně prokleté a lodi mají vlastní duši...

Crusader Strategy: Defending the Holy Land
A new look at the crusaders, which shows how they pursued long-term plans and clear strategic goals
Medieval states, and particularly crusader societies, often have been considered brutish and culturally isolated. It seems unlikely that they could develop “strategy” in any meaningful sense. However, the crusaders were actually highly organized in their thinking and their decision making was rarely random.
In this lively account, Steve Tibble draws on a rich array of primary sources to reassess events on the ground and patterns of behavior over time. He shows how, from aggressive castle building to implementing a series of invasions of Egypt, crusader leaders tenaciously pursued long-term plans and devoted single-minded attention to clear strategic goals. Crusader states were permanently on the brink of destruction; resources were scarce and the penalties for failure severe. Intuitive strategic thinking, Tibble argues, was a necessity, not a luxury.
Velké dějiny zemí Koruny české svazek XIX. (1968)
Dobová levice litovala, že pokus nasadit socialismu lidskou tvář skončil pod pásy tanků. Historik sice nemůže spekulovat, co by tento experiment přinesl, i tak je ovšem látka roku 1968 natolik bohatá, že vydá na celý svazek Velkých dějin zemí Koruny české.
Klíčových momentů, které příběh „osmašedesátého“ ženou vpřed, je mnoho: dva měsíce trvá odcházení Antonína Novotného z funkce prvního tajemníka, propuká Šejnova aféra, zaniká cenzura a vládnoucí strana ztrácí moc nad médii. Vzniká Akční program KSČ a krystalizují parametry nově vznikajícího politického systému, pootevírají se hranice na Západ, překotně se vyostřují československo-sovětské vztahy.
Devatenáctý svazek Velkých dějin sleduje, jak se demokratizační proces z podstatné části vymyká stranické kontrole, vedení státu bojuje za reformu na dvou frontách – doma a v socialistickém táboře – a nakonec čelí invazi, únosu do Moskvy a brutálnímu nátlaku „spojenců“. Autor hodnotí obsah tzv. moskevského protokolu a důsledky podpisu československé reprezentace. Zajímá ho však i to, jak na tyto dramatické události reagoval Západ.

Fragment of a (Knight’s) Forest
Fragment (rytierskeho) lesa spája tri cykly, v ktorých Ivan Štrpka premieta stredoveké putovanie Percevala do súčasnej Európy vlakov, nástupíšť metra, letísk a zaniknutých kín. Básne sa pohybujú v opakujúcom sa slovníku zrkadiel, tieňov, prázdnych rúk a miznúcich postáv, pričom nadväzujú na myslenie Meistera Eckharta a Paula Celana a rozvíjajú mystiku negácie. Štrpkove verše, citlivo prenesené do angličtiny v preklade Johna Minahana, plynule prechádzajú medzi dlhými meditatívnymi pasážami a zhustenou lyrikou a zachytávajú detstvo, exil i nestálosť fotografického obrazu. Výsledkom je poetika neustáleho prechodu, v ktorej sa identita postupne stenčuje až k vlastnému miznutiu a les je zároveň priestorom rytierskej romance i krajinou vnútorného sveta.

Islam
A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the traditionToday’s Muslim world is in upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from right-wing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet. Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides an essential and timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith. He shows how the youngest of the three great monotheisms arose in close contact with Jewish, Christian, and other religious traditions in a mixture of cultures, including Arab, Greek, Persian, and Turkish; how Islam spread across an enormous territory encompassing hundreds of languages and cultures; how Muslims have forged widely different beliefs and practices over fourteen centuries; and how Islamic history provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates in the Muslim world. At a time when much talk about Islam is filled with misunderstanding, stereotypes, and bias, this book provides a fresh and lucid portrait of the continuous and ongoing transformations of a religion of tremendous variety and complexity.
