Procitání do tmy - Karel Borský

Přestože se kniha K. Borského „Procitání do tmy“ tváří jako román, nic v ní není vymyšleno. Autor do osudů Antonína Bárka a jeho ženy Kristiny vkládá své vlastní zážitky a životní zkušenosti. Vyprávění ve třetí osobě však nabízí možnost posoudit sám sebe s potřebným odstupem, usnadňuje vyslovovat o sobě hanu i chválu.Osobní příběh A. Bárka se podobá příběhům jeho spolubojovníků, kteří se od totalitní moci dočkali nezasloužených křivd a příkoří. V tomto smyslu je osud hrdiny knihy zobecněným obrazem stovek frontových bojovníků za svobodu.

Keď jej spolubývajúca Quinn Collinsová nájde medzi priateľkinými vecami záhadný list adresovaný Miláčikovi, jej obavy o ňu ešte vzrastú a začne si klásť otázky, ako dobre ju pozná a kto v skutočnosti Esther je.Medzitým v neďalekom mestečku na brehu Michiganského jazera skríži cestu osemnásťročnému Alexovi Gallovi tajomné dievča bez mena.

On Mystery, Ineffability, Silence and Musical Symbolism Wuidar Laurence

Collecting together numerous examples of Augustine's musical imagery in action, Laurence Wuidar reconstructs the linguistic laboratory and the hermeneutics in which he worked. Sensitive and poetical, this volume is a reminder that the metaphor of music can give access not only to human interiority, but allow the human mind to achieve proximity to the divine mind.Composed by one of Europe's leading musicologists now engaging an English-speaking audience for the first time, this book is a candid exploration of Wuidar's expertise. Drawing on her long knowledge of music and the occult, from antiquity to modernity, Wuidar particularly focuses upon Augustine's working methods while refusing to be distracted by questions of faith or morality. The result is an open and at times frightening vista on the powers that be, and our complex need to commune with

Spirit of Garbo Laramie Moon

Greta Garbo has often been depicted as a lonely recluse. The truth is very different. Once described as 'rather a crazy mystic Swede', Garbo was an independent spiritual explorer whose sense of connection to the natural world was profound. She was a cosmocentric thinker drawn to occult ideas. Moon Laramie maps the essential aspects of self-actualisation, as defined by psychologist Abraham Maslow, onto Garbo's spiritual journey. These include a profound sense of self; recognition of her own essential unity with nature and all life; living fully in the moment; being unrestricted by national or cultural boundaries in the way she viewed the world. Laramie argues that it was Garbo's spiritual sense that enabled her to triumph over Hollywood, defying the patriarchal pressures of both the studio system and wider society. 'All true artists, like all true mystics, have illumination in a

Periodicals and Journalism in Twentieth-Century Ireland 2: A Variety of Voices Larkin Felix M.

Periodicals have been at the core of journalistic activity since before the foundation of the state but have remained an area long neglected within media history. This volume, featuring essays by leading media historians, presents an insight into recent periodicals research in Ireland, much of which has focused on the magazines produced by various interest groups, the relationship between culture and commerce and how periodicals critiqued the national press. Alongside case studies of key periodicals such as Fortnight, In Dublin, Status and the Phoenix the volume also examines periodicals produced over the course of the twentieth century by religious bodies, the Irish-language lobby, the women's-rights movement and the gay-rights campaign. Focusing on key periodicals, proprietors, editors, contributors and controversies, it evaluates the contribution of periodical journalism to the ideas

The Voyage of St Brendan: Representative Versions of the Legend in English Translation Barron W. R. J.

In recent years Brendan's voyage has become increasingly popular as a topic of interest, not only in medieval studies, but also within the history of travel literature in general. One of the legend's charms is that it can be read in a number of ways: as a thinly disguised account of Irish travels and discoveries in the Atlantic, as a seafaring story in the fashion of the Irish immrama (literally 'rowings out'), or as an allegorical tale of Man's journey through life. It also has links with the monastic culture of its day, and contains echoes of the Odyssey and the Aeneid, Sinbad the Sailor and the quest for the Holy Grail.Barron and Burgess's volume collects the most important versions of the voyage from a wide variety of cultures, and presents them in modern English translations together with a general introduction to Brendan, explanatory commentaries and an extensive

British Music, Musicians and Institutions, C. 1630-1800: Essays in Honour of Harry Diack Johnstone Lynan Peter

British music in the era from the death of Henry Purcell to the so-called 'Musical Renaissance' of the late nineteenth century was once considered barren. This view has been overturned in recent years through a better-informed historical perspective, able to recognise that all kinds of British musical institutions continued to flourish, and not only in London. The publication, performance and recording of music by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British composers, supplemented by critical source-studies and scholarly editions, shows forms of music that developed in parallel with those of Britain's near neighbours. Indigenous musicians mingled with migrant musicians from elsewhere, yet there remained strands of British musical culture that had no continental equivalent. Music, vocal and instrumental, sacred and secular, flourished continuously throughout the Stuart and Hanoverian
