James Frey Knihy

Opět se setkáváme s Jamesem a jeho životními osudy… Po úspěšném odchodu z léčebny pro drogově závislé ho potká další rána, když zjistí, že jeho láska (kterou potkal právě v léčebně) psychicky nezvládla návrat do normálního střízlivého života a spáchala sebevraždu. James naštěstí nepodlehne a vyhledá svého nejlepšího přítele Leonarda. S jeho pomocí se postupně staví na nohy, vrací se do práce a nachází i novou lásku, se kterou se nakonec ožení (mimochodem, žijí spolu dodnes). Kniha je autobiografií samotného autora Jamese Freye a přitáhne čtenáře svým poutavým, dramatickým a místy dojemným vyprávěním. Autor si svou zpovědí zajistil celosvětovou pozornost a úspěch.

Když James Frey ve věku třiadvaceti let přišel do pobytové léčebny, měl tělo a mysl skoro nenávratně poškozené. Musel si vybrat: nedožije se 24, nebo se pokusí něco udělat s troskou svého života a to hodně drasticky. Ocitne se mezi pacienty, kteří jsou ve stejných sračkách jako on sám - soudce, mafián, bývalý mistr světa v boxu, a bývalá prostitutka. Obklopen všudypřítomným dogmatem "Jak se vyléčit" si musí Frey najít svou cestu jak se vyrovnat s následky svého dosavadního života, a vybrat si svou budoucnost - pokud nějaká bude. Kniha popisuje příběh boje s drogovou závislostí. Začíná v sanatoriu, popisuje šest týdnů léčby, a ve vzpomínkách hlavního hrdiny se vrací k událostem, jež ho k léčbě přivedly. Pro zdůraznění naléhavého poselství a zrychlení děje nejsou v knize použity uvozovky, každá přímá věta začíná na novém řádku. To, že autor používá stejný postup pro vyjádření vlastních myšlenek a myšlenek jiných, dává knize unikátní styl, jenž odráží náladu jeho zkušeností z léčebny.

Dva tisíce let jsme čekali, až Mesiáš přijde mezi nás. A on prý žije. Přebývá v New Yorku. Spí s muži i ženami, přivádí do jiného stavu dívky, léčí nemocné a umírajícím pomáhá odejít z tohoto světa. Říká se, že kašle na vládu a opovrhuje posvátnem. Co byste udělali, kdybyste jej potkali a on vám změnil život? Uvěřili byste v něj? Začali byste ho brát vážně? Opravdu? Jedno je jisté: tento román Jamese Freye vás asi vyvede z míry, možná vás změní, ale určitě budete fascinováni silou a hloubkou citů i revolučními až bezbožnými postoji.

A concise introduction to Fourier transforms, this updated edition includes new and interesting material, such as convolution with a sinusoid, coherence, the Michelson stellar interferometer and the van Cittert-Zernike theorem, Babinet's principle and dipole arrays.

"Frey's concise and readable history of the Indian Rebellion is an excellent introduction to one of the most important wars of the nineteenth century. The rebellion lasted more than a year and pitted broad sections of north Indian society against the British East India Company. British victory consolidated colonial rule that would only be dislodged by twentieth-century nationalist movements. Frey provides a crystal-clear account of the causes, principal events, and consequences of the rebellion. Equally importantly, he deftly discusses why the rebellion remains controversial. Well-chosen documents add texture to the analysis. This is the best short history of the rebellion in print." --Ian Barrow, Middlebury College

Welcome to LA. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees. Bright Shiny Morning takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey's trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed.

For two thousand years people have spent their lives waiting, praying, fighting, begging, and going to war for the Messiah. They continue to do so, every minute of every day, every day of every year. And yet, as far as we know, the Messiah has never come. How would a man like Jesus be perceived if he appeared today? How would he live, what would he say, what would he preach and believe? How would society react to him, and what would they to do him? And though he may be the Messiah, he is not the man that has been prayed for over the course of the last two thousand years. He believes religion is a fraud, government is a sham, and that love should be a choice, regardless of gender. He is, as Christ was, everything that religious leaders and government officials fear, what they speak against, and what they destroy. He did not burn books, or picket doctor's offices, or spend his time in religious institutions. He simply preached a message. Love your fellow man. Written from the perspective of his family, friends, and followers, in the same way the story of Jesus Christ was told in the New Testament, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible is the story of Ben Zion Avrohom, also known as Ben Jones, also known as the Messiah, also known as the Lord God.--Barnesandnoble.com.

« Dans ce livre, j'essaye d'imaginer l'histoire telle qu'elle serait si le Messie, ou Jésus-Christ, était toujours vivant et vivait à New York en plein XXIe siècle. À quoi est-ce qu'il ressemblerait, en quoi est-ce qu'il croirait, comment est-ce qu'il vivrait ? Il aurait des liaisons avec des hommes, engrosserait les filles, il soignerait les malades et pratiquerait l'euthanasie… Et vous, que feriez-vous si vous le rencontriez ? Mon but n'était pas de réécrire l'histoire du Christ. Je voulais créer une nouvelle mythologie, une qui ait du sens dans un monde d'armes nucléaires, de connaissances scientifiques avancées, d'Internet, de tests et de manipulations génétiques, un monde où l'on ne considère plus l'homosexualité comme un choix. Ce que je voulais, c'était raconter une histoire, faire une oeuvre d'art qui prenne tout son sens dans un monde sur lequel nous savons des choses que les gens ou les écrivains ne pouvaient pas savoir, ni même imaginer, il y a 2000 ans. Ai-je atteint mon but ? Les lecteurs, le temps, et l'Histoire me le diront. »
