William Hazlitt Knihy

Aforismy anglického esejisty a novináře Williama Hazzlita (1778–1830) neztrácejí svou působivost a platnost ani po tak dlouhé době od svého vzniku. Vynikající překlad známého českého překladatele a publicisty Antonína Přidala nemohl při prvním vydání (Odeon 1977) vyjít pod jeho jménem.

Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: hatred alone is immortal' William Hazlitt William Hazlitt's tough, combative writings on subjects ranging from slavery to the imagination, boxing matches to the monarchy, established him as one of the greatest radicals of his age and have inspired journalists and political satirists ever since.

Shakespearian Henriad refers to a group of four William Shakespeare's history plays: Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V. These four plays constitute the Shakespearian epic with Prince Harry, who later becomes Henry V, as a central figure. Thanks to Shakespeare, King Henry V today stands side by side with the classical epic heroes such are Achilles and Aeneas, as one of the greatest warrior kings of medieval England,

Henry V tells the story of Henry of Monmouth, now King Henry V. This play stands as the final part of Henriad tetralogy and presents the transformation of the main character from a wild, undisciplined young man to the young prince who has matured. The story focuses on an expedition to France led by Henry V in which his army although widely outnumbered defeats the French at Agincourt.
