Zedong Mao Knihy

Výbor z textů čínského komunistického vůdce Mao Ce-tunga uspořádal slovinský filozof Slavoj Žižek. Jedná se o statě, které Mao napsal do doby, než se v Číně na jeho podnět rozběhla Kulturní revoluce. Texty, věnované existenci rozporů ve všech věcech nebo texty výlučně politické, dokládají dvojí parametr Maova uvažování - na jedné straně je to filozofická analýza, inspirovaná čínskou duchovní tradicí, na druhé pak sklon k pouhému opakování banálních pravd. Výbor doprovází rozsáhlá předmluva Slavoje Žižka. Interpretací některých pasáží Maových textů Žižek mimo jiné usiluje dokázat, že když Mao odmítl negaci negace jako jeden z principů dialektiky a rozpoutal Kulturní revoluci, významně tak napomohl pozdější restauraci kapitalismu v Číně.

Český překlad osmnácti básní předsedy ČLR je jednou z posledních prací národního umělce V. Nezvala. Osmnáct písní na staré nápěvy je však přesvědčivým dokladem, že ani nejobtížnější forma nemohla spoutat velkého ducha básníka, který v sobě spojuje hlubokou moudrost a velkorysost čínského národa. Básně, v nichž se tak jedinečně obráží hrdinná epopej čínské revoluce, budou mít trvalé místo v literatuře nové Číny.
