    • Žijeme v rýchlej dobre, všetko máme na dosah, priania sa nám plnia doslova na jeden klik. Zabudli sme, čo je zdravo sa ponamáhať, a vytrvalosť v čomkoľvek už dnes nie je „in“. No náš vzťah k Bohu nemôže byť na spôsob bleskového riešenia: enter a vybavené. Potrebujeme spomaliť, stíšiť sa a zastaviť. Nazrieť do svojho vnútra a stretnúť sa s Bohom. Pôstne obdobie je tým ideálnym časom, keď tak môžeme urobiť. V Posolstvách vytrvalosti na Pôstne obdobie autori ponúkajú každodennú praktickú múdrosť, ako kráčať po ceste viery. Pomôžu nám rozvíjať odvahu a vytrvalosť potrebnú na prekonávanie skúšok a pokušení. Uprostred ťažkostí nás povzbudia, aby sme rástli vo viere, spoliehali sa na Božiu silu a posmelia nás vytrvalo napredovať k veľkonočnej radosti. Na každý pôstny deň je pripravený biblický úryvok s krátkou úvahou, ktoré uzatvára jednoduchá výzva k modlitbe. A hoci jednotlivé zamyslenia trvajú menej ako tri minúty, útechu a inšpiráciu z nich budeme čerpať po celý deň. Berme ich ako štartovaciu čiaru pre naše stretnutie s Bohom – Pánom času i našich životov. Stačia tri minúty modlitby denne, aby ste zmenili svoj život k lepšiemu! Pôvodnému vydaniu bol udelený Imprimatur.

      Proč se peníze a majetek staví do protikladu k pravému poslání církve? A proč si tohle myslí nejen kritici církve, ale i někteří katolíci? Tato knížka nás zve k tomu, abychom o penězích v církvi uvažovali jinak. Nejsou z principu zlé, jsou důležitou součástí našeho světa. Mohou se stát pokušením, ale mnohem víc i nástrojem pro konání dobra. Pro fungování farností jsou nezbytné a nemůžeme je ignorovat. Autoři zde nevedou abstraktní disputace ani neanalyzují financování celé církve. Dávají užitečné náměty, jak smysluplně financovat poslání církve v konkrétní farnosti. Farnost je klíčovým místem, kde se uskutečňuje poslání církve a kde se formuje zdravý vztah k penězům. Kniha je určena farářům, pastoračním asistentům, účetním i těm, kdo ve farnostech nesou odpovědnost za organizaci a financování; členům farních, pastoračních a ekonomických rad, dárcům, manažerům a dalším profesím. Chce povzbudit k přehodnocení dosavadních fundraisingových aktivit a inspirovat k ekonomickému i duchovnímu ozdravění farnosti.

    • Der Fontane-Ton

      Stil im Werk Theodor Fontanes

      • 301 Seiten
      • 11 Lesestunden

      Der kanonische Status Fontanes gründet sich auf einen eigentümlichen Erzählstil, der schon den Zeitgenossen als Markenzeichen seines Werkes galt. Dazu gehörte Fontanes Vorliebe für den humorvoll zugespitzten Satz, seine Lust am Umgangssprachlichen, seine Abneigung gegenüber dem Pathetischen und überspitzt Dramatischen und sein Hang zu einer ironisch-distanzierten Erzählhaltung. Der "Fontane-Ton" hat sich früh als alles umschließende Beschreibung dessen, was der Leser als die Eigenart Fontanes erlebt, durchsetzen können und hat so eine differenzierte Sicht auf Fontanes Stil verhindert. Mit diesem Band eröffnen Herausgeber und Beiträger neue Perspektiven auf Fontanes Stil, die der Einheit dieses Stils und dessen spezifischen Ausprägungen in verschiedenen Gattungen Rechnung tragen. In zwölf Aufsätzen schlagen die Verfasser sprachwissenschaftliche, textgenetische und komparatistische Wege zu Fontanes Werk ein, beleuchten die Schlüsselbegriffe "Fontane-Ton" und "Stil" kritisch, bieten Einblicke in die Werkstatt des Fontane-Stils und ergründen sowohl materielle Stilfaktoren wie Satz und Layout als auch immaterielle Faktoren wie die Erzeugung eines bestimmten Tons durch den Anekdotengebrauch oder in der Erzählhaltung.

    • Galilea Galileiho můžeme právem zařadit po bok takových velikánů vědy, jakými jsou Newton, Einstein nebo Darwin. Byl to sice zbožný katolík, ale díky své genialitě se dostal do sporu s církví a mnozí lidé jej dnes považují za mučedníka. Kniha Michaela Whitea Antikrist Galileo je nejen životopisem tohoto vědce období doznívající renesance, ale přináší také obraz doby, v níž věda byla až příliš těsně spjata s náboženstvím. Autor v ní sleduje události, které provázely Galileův život od prvního udání z kacířství až po proces, jenž s ním inkvizice uspořádala v roce 1633, kriticky pohlíží na církev, která svým přístupem zbrzdila vývoj vědy, a na základě důkazů objevených ve vatikánských archivech zpochybňuje po léta opakovaně uváděné důvody, jež vedly ke Galileovu odsouzení.

Er formulierte die Gravitationstheorie, entwickelte eine radikal neue Theorie des Lichts und schuf mit der Infinitesimalrechnung eine Art zu rechnen, die die Mathematik revolutionierte. Newton spricht hier aber auch über seine unkonventionelle Erziehung, seine politische Karriere, seine heftigen Fehden mit Rivalen und seine geheimen Ausflüge in die Welt des Okkulten. Lassen Sie sich einladen zu einer kleinen Zeitreise und erleben Sie Newton ganz aus der Nähe! Michael White, hoch gerühmter Biograf von Albert Einstein und Stephen Hawking, ist ein kompetenter Gesprächspartner in diesem fiktiven Interview mit Newton.

    • In all his years on the force, Detective Chief Inspector Pendragon had never seen a corpse like this one. After the initial horror, he recognised the reference to the surrealist painter, Magritte. But that made the crime even more sickening - accomplished, as it had been, with a sickening ferocity which placed it in another league from common or garden homicide. In the Whitechapel area of London in the 1880s, a person, who remains unidentified to this day, committed a series of sadistic murders of local prostitutes, which involved elaborate mutilation of the victims' bodies. Although the contemporary crimes are not directed exclusively at female targets, there is grotesque similarity in the mindset of the two perpetrators - divided, as they are, by more than a century. But Pendragon is determined that his pathologically brilliant killer will not escape detection. THE ART OF MURDER reveals Michael White's mastery of a crime genre that he is making uniquely his own.

      A definitive biography of a remarkable man and a brilliant scientist. Scarcely able to move or speak as a result of motor-neuron disease, Hawking has vastly expanded our scientific knowledge and made his discoveries accessible to the layperson in his bestselling book A Brief History of Time. Stephen Hawking is perhaps the most famous scientist since Einstein. Although his body is confined to a wheelchair, his brilliant work on black holes, the Big Bang, and quantum cosmology has already guaranteed his reputation as a towering figure in modern physics. This superb biography interweaves the events of Hawking's life with concise and cogent explanations of the theories that have brought us breathtakingly close to piercing the ultimate mysteries of time, space, and matter. It tells the story of Hawking's days at Oxford and of the early warning signs of the terrible disease that has made him dependent on a voice synthesizer to communicate his epochal discoveries. It shows us his emergence as the hugely successful author of the best-selling A Brief History of Time , an unexpected triumph that saved him from a financial “black hole” and brought him worldwide celebrity. And it describes the dissolution of his marriage of many years. Revealing yet ultimately admiring, Stephen Hawking is a master portrait of the man who is destined to be remembered as the most important scientist of the modern era.

    • Use of letter-writing in family therapy. White and Epston base their therapy on the assumption that people experience problems when the stories of their lives, as they or others have invented them, do not sufficiently represent their lived experience. Therapy then becomes a process of storying or restorying the lives and experiences of these people. In this way narrative comes to play a central role in therapy. Both authors share delightful examples of a storied therapy that privileges a person’s lived experience, inviting a reflexive posture and encouraging a sense of authorship and reauthorship of one’s experiences and relationships in the telling and retelling of one’s story.

      “Das Betreten von Neuland ist in jeder Hinsicht ein beachtliches Unterfangen. Wenn es dazu noch in verschiedenen Richtungen gleichzeitig geschieht und dabei Entdeckungen gemacht werden, spricht dies für eine Höchstleistung. Michael White und David Epston sind meiner Ansicht nach in dieser Weise bahnbrechend auf dem Gebiet der Familientherapie tätig. Das vorliegende Buch faßt einige ihrer wichtigsten Erkenntnisse zusammen. Es umreißt eine Reihe mutiger Schritte, die sie im Bereich menschlicher Probleme unternommen haben, und steckt einige neuartige therapeutische Beiträge ab.“ Karl Tomm
