I Ching - The Book of Changes
Also known as Yî Ching or The Book of Changes, I Ching is an ancient Chinese text of vast historical and cultural influence. Spanning the fields of divination, cosmology, morality and philosophy, with strong links to Confucianism, it has been interpreted in many different ways over the centuries and ultimately demonstrates an early attempt to understand the world and the human place within it. Reviving James Legge's classic nineteenth-century translation, this compact and accessible edition includes an illuminating introduction that casts fresh light on this fascinating text.
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.

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.
Porozumět svědkům
Čtyři eseje soustředěné pod názvem Porozumět svědkům zkoumají, jak se literární dílo proměňuje v estetický objekt v rukou interpreta, jenž osciluje mezi rolí literárního historika a pozorného čtenáře. Kniha vychází z přesvědčení, že pouhé poukazování na kreativní recepci literatury nestačí – klíčová je kvalitní práce s textem zakořeněná v živé kultuře.
Úvodní esej Točité schody mapuje podmínky rozvoje bohemistiky a polonistiky po roce 2000 na univerzitních pracovištích v Praze, Hradci Králové a Pardubicích a klade důraz na odpovědnost oboru vůči kulturní praxi. Skrytá stezka se vymezuje proti mechanickému spoléhání na žánrové konvence a aktualizační výklady a vybízí ke zkusmým způsobům četby, které otevírají mnohovrstevnatost literárních významů. Esej Smyčky dějin se zaměřuje na specifika fiktivního času v české a polské literatuře 20. a 21. století a ukazuje, jak hra s kulturní pamětí umožňuje překračovat zažité myšlenkové rámce. Závěrečné Rozsypané stránky zdůrazňují potřebu generační sebekritiky založené jak na racionální argumentaci, tak na empatii vůči druhému.
Teprve souběh těchto čtyř hledisek – živé kultury, osobní četby, kulturní paměti a generační sebereflexe – umožňuje porozumět literárnímu svědectví napříč obdobími i zkušenostmi jednotlivce a moderní společnosti.
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.
One and Only
You are cordially invited to my fake wedding.
Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either.
He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.
Until I move in with him. Get to know him. Share a bed with him. Turns out, the line between fake and real isn't just blurry, it's almost impossible to uphold when he looks at me the way he does.
This marriage is a whole lot more complicated than we bargained for. We’re threatening to destroy everything we’ve built, something neither of us can risk.
Marrying Beckett might’ve been the best idea in years. But falling in love with him would be the worst.
Neslyší na Elišku
Eliška je mladá žena, která má všechny důvody ke spokojenosti – je vdaná, dobře situovaná a má krásnou dcerku. Jenže manželství s Pavlem upadá do rutiny a v jejím životě se objeví mladý učitel Matěj, její dávná láska. Eliška tak balancuje mezi mateřstvím, rozpadajícím se vztahem a milostným citem, jenž trvá navzdory času i zásadním změnám, kvůli nimž románky z mládí obvykle končí v propadlišti vzpomínek. Proč je ten kluk, co jí vždycky říkal Něha, tak neodolatelný – i když nenosí mužný zevnějšek jako Pavel, z bot se mu klube palec, neřídí auto a interiér jeho domku po babičce spíš než skutečný domov připomíná několik desítek let staré kulisy ze seriálu Vyprávěj? Příběh o tom, jak snadné je nevědět, kým vlastně jsme – a jak těžké je slyšet, když nás někdo volá jménem, které už necítíme jako vlastní.
