Mystické příběhy pragmatika
Muž je po nehodě v kómatu a vnímá zvláštní jevy. Když se později probere, na nic si nevzpomíná. Neví, jak se jmenuje, kde bydlí a kdo jsou jeho blízcí.
Jediné co ví, že má úkol, se kterým se může do života vrátit. Shrne ho vlastními slovy: „Udělal jsem v životě hodně špatností, naštěstí nevím jaké. Tam nahoře jsem dostal jedinečnou šanci napravit mnou způsobené křivdy a zločiny. V těle mi budou vyrůstat orgány, určené k záchraně smrtelně nemocných dětí.“ V této cestě se mísí dobrodružství, vítězství i prohry. Snaha pomoci ohroženým dětem je nezpochybnitelnou hnací silou našeho hrdiny.
Obstojí v nelehkých zkouškách? Jak se vypořádá s nástrahami, které by mohly jeho nečekané poslání překazit?
The Supreme Gift
The greatest treasure in the spiritual life is not faith, but love. Love is humankind’s supreme gift and the core of internationally beloved author, Paulo Coelho’s, message. In The Supreme Gift he adapts the classic wisdom of the 19th century biologist, Henry Drummond St Paul, offering a powerful message that will help us incorporate love into our daily lives to experience all its transformational power.
Henry Drummond defined love as the culmination of 9 elements: patience, kindness, generosity, humility, gentleness, dedication, tolerance, sincerity and innocence. Reflecting on this, Paulo Coelho brings us on his own journey of deepening his practice of love

Mezi kýčem a akademií
Chromolitografie byla v době své slávy v druhé polovině 19. století exkluzivní a náročnou technikou vícebarevného soutisku, využívajícího principu sčítání barev a optického efektu tiskového bodu. Její role se však v průběhu vývoje proměňovala od reprodukční techniky s ambicemi takřka imitovat malířská díla, přes využití jako svébytného média na poli reklamy až po ryze služebnou funkci v exaktní vědecké ilustraci nebo v podobě často esteticky pokleslých užitkových merkantilních tisků, které chromolitografii přinesly pejorativně vnímané označení barvotisk. Právě tento aspekt v umělecko-historických disciplínách na dlouhou dobu neprávem deklasoval výjimečná díla, zejména reklamní plakáty, ale i diplomy, či kalendáře, která touto náročnou technikou vznikla.
