Asklepios
A landmark account of the divine physician of the Greeks in myth and archetypeTo the physicians of classical antiquity, Asklepios was the ideal of their existence as healers. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi takes readers on a tour of the sacred sites of the Greek god of medicine to investigate the origins and archetypal significance of Asklepios as the divine physician. Drawing on mythology to trace the obscure beginnings of the cult, Kerényi argues that Asklepios was an aspect of his father, the god Apollo, closely associated with the light of rising sun and embodying the qualities of a healing deity. He shows how the Greeks revered Asklepios as the divine ancestor and prototype of mortal physicians and explores the role of the Asklepios archetype in modern psychology.
Prometheus
A landmark account of the Prometheus story as myth and archetypeThe god Prometheus stole fire from heaven and bestowed it on humans. In punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock, where an eagle clawed unceasingly at his liver until Herakles freed him. For the Greeks, the myth of Prometheus’s release reflected a primordial law of existence and the fate of humankind. Carl Kerényi examines the story of Prometheus and the very process of mythmaking as a reflection of the archetypal function and seeks to discover how this primitive tale was invested with a universal fatality, first in the Greek imagination and then in the Western tradition of Romantic poetry. Kerényi traces the evolving myth from Hesiod and Aeschylus, and in its epic treatment by Goethe and Shelley. He goes on to consider the myth from the perspective of Jungian psychology as the archetype of human daring signifying the transformation of suffering into the mystery of the sacrifice.
Eleusis
A landmark account of the Eleusinian Mysteries by one of the leading mythologists of the twentieth centuryThe Sanctuary of Eleusis near Athens was the center of a religious cult that endured for nearly two thousand years and whose initiates came from all parts of the civilized world. In this classic work, Carl Kerényi examines the Mysteries of Eleusis from the standpoint not only of Greek myth but also of human nature. He reveals how the yearly autumnal mysteries were based on the ancient myth of Demeter’s search for her ravished daughter Persephone, a search that he equates not only with woman’s quest for completion but with every person’s pursuit of identity. Drawing on archaeology, objects of art, and religious history, Kerényi explores what the mysteries may have been like for those who experienced them and suggests rich parallels with other mythologies.
Líc a rub, 2. vydání
Před mnoha lety obloha dštila kamení a oheň a takový nápor staré impérium nevydrželo. Země, které se vymanily z jeho svazující hegemonie, mají nastolit nový světový pořádek. Zvláště dva lidé vidí tento proces v širších souvislostech. V zimním paláci má králova nová lékařka více nepřátel, než si zprvu uvědomuje: Její protivníci ovšem nevědí, že nemá ve svém arzenálu jen léky… V jiném paláci za horami má ve službách královraha protektora jeho hlavní tělesný strážce také své nepřátele. Ti ale dokážou udeřit mnohem rychleji a on s nimi bojuje mnohem tradičnějšími prostředky. Kniha je příběhem dvou příběhů. Oba spějí k dramatickému vyvrcholení, oba jsou spolu spjaty víc, než hrdinové tuší, a oběma je společným jmenovatelem klam, láska a zrada. Líc a rub je pátý román série Kultura od fenomenálního autora fantastiky Iaina M. Bankse.
The Flaneur
*WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ALEXANDER CHEE*'A stylish, deftly erudite and enormously diverting book’ - Sunday Telegraph‘An artfully aimless pleasure cruise around Paris’ - Guardian'White's genius as a flâneur is revealed in his affinity for unexpected pleasures, and he includes many for our delectation' - New Yorker______________A unique and eclectic view of Paris through the eyes of a fierce and witty intellect. A flâneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the streets he walks - and is in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic. Acclaimed writer Edmund White, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the avenues and along the quays, into parts of the city virtually unknown to visitors and indeed to many locals, luring the reader into the fascinating and seductive backstreets of his personal Paris. ______________'One has the impression of having fallen into the hands of a highly distractible, somewhat eccentric poet and professor who is determined to show you a Paris you wouldn't otherwise see . . . White tells such a good story that I'm ready to listen to anything he wants to talk about' - New York Times Book Review
No More Chainsaws
“Welcome to the Golden Age of Women-Directed Horror.” Over the last fifteen years, there has been a sustained global influx of women artists working in mainstream and independent horror cinemas earning notable public and industry acclaim. As a result, now, for the first time in horror history, there is also a concentrated corpus of films that explicitly address topics of identity, sexuality, trauma, and monstrosity from women’s perspectives. No More Chainsaws offers an in-depth analysis of some of the earliest and underrated releases within this New Wave of Women’s Horror cinema: Catherine Hardwicke’sTwilight (2008), Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009), Jennifer and Sylvia Soska’s American Mary (2012), and Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie (2013). No More Chainsaws articulates the ways in which these contemporary films attempt to liberate horror from an over-determining gendered lexicon of violence and terror.

Právo pro školy
Regionální školství je v České republice reprezentováno rozsáhlou sítí mateřských, základních, středních a specializovaných škol, přesahující počtem deset tisíc subjektů. Autorský kolektiv pod vedením JUDr. Stanislava Polčáka přináší první ucelenou monografii s výkladem nejzásadnějších právních předpisů, vydaných metodických dokumentů a soudní judikatury regulující regionální školství.
Publikace Právo pro školy je určena především zřizovatelům škol – představitelům samospráv, neboť se zaměřuje na zásadní změny ve financování regionálního školství přijaté v roce 2025, ale pochopitelně i na zásadní změny školského zákona. Kniha by neměla chybět ani v knihovně ředitele školy a měla by být k dispozici členům pedagogického sboru, protože neopomíjí žádnou z významných oblastí právní regulace vzdělávacího procesu. Snahou autorského kolektivu bylo poskytnout účastníkům vzdělávání a zřizovatelům škol významnou oporu při řízení a správě mateřských a základních škol a také v samotném vzdělávacím procesu.
