David Jones

    David Jones byl malíř a básník, jehož literární modernismus je srovnáván s velikány jako Joyce a Eliot. Jeho dílo je charakteristické hlubokou lidskostí a brilantním propojením prózy a verše. Jones zkoumá válečné zážitky s takovou silou, že čtenář prožívá realitu okamžiku, a to i přes hrůzy, které se skrývají za horizontem. Jeho básně, doplněné o pozoruhodné poznámky, nabízejí pohlcující cestu minulostí a naší kulturou.

    • Velká pozornost se dnes věnuje problematice sociálních médií. Stejně tak je kladen značný důraz na téma společenské odpovědnosti firem. Autor předkládá první knihu, která obě témata vnímá jako vzájemně provázaná, a přesvědčivě argumentuje, že nejúspěšnějšími firmami budoucnosti budou ty, které se chovají společensky nejodpovědněji. Hlas lidí spojených prostřednictvím sociálních sítí nabývá na síle a podle Jonese postupně nutí podnikatelský svět, aby si osvojil nové standardy chování.
