Bože můj, Bože můj, proč jsi mě opustil1? To je otázka, kterou si kladl nejenom Ježíš na kříži, ale kterou i já mám často tendence si klást tehdy, když mám pocit, že trpím, tehdy když si Boha neumím představit jinak, než jako sadistického režiséra vyžívajícího se v utrpení oněch bezmocných herců na jevišti zvaném Země. Autor knihy Kde je Bůh, když to bolí se snaží najít odpověď na otázky Proč právě já a Má utrpení vůbec nějaký smysl?

Egil's Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egill Skallagrímsson: a morally ambiguous character who was at once the composer of intricately beautiful poetry, and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality. The saga recounts Egil's progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his father's exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his battles against Scotland. Exploring issues as diverse as the question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil's Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.

This is a book about life, how to make the most of it, how to find your balance when you are working long days and trying to be happy and fulfilled. Mireille Guiliano has written the kind of book she wishes she had been given when starting out in the business world and had at hand along the way. She draws on her own experiences at the forefront of women in business to offer lessons, stories, helpful hints - and even recipes! - that can make the working world a happier and more satisfying part of a well-balanced life. Mireille talks about style, communication skills, risk taking, leadership, etiquette, mentoring, personal relationships and much more, all from a perspective of three decades in business. This book is about helping women (and a few men, peut-etre) feel good about themselves, being challenged and engaged in our working lives, and always looking for pleasure in every single day.

Miguel Barnet und eine Gruppe von Ethnologen besuchten den hundertdreijährigen Esteban Montejo, einen hochintelligenten und eigensinnigen Mann voller Erinnerungen an das Leben der Sklaven, die Abschaffung der Sklaverei auf Kuba und den Befreiungskrieg gegen die spanischen Kolonialisten. Montejo, ein Cimarrón, lebte viele Jahre in Einsamkeit in den Bergen, bevor er sich den Aufständischen anschloss, die gegen die amerikanische Invasion kämpften. Die Erzählungen basieren auf Tonbandaufnahmen von Barnet, die über Monate mit Montejo geführt wurden. Besonders beeindruckend ist die bildreiche Sprache des ehemaligen Sklaven, die eine lebendige Vermischung von afrikanischen Mythen und Katholizismus zu einer der afro-kubanischen Religionen zeigt, wie Barnet in seinem Werk über afro-kubanische Kulte beschreibt. Montejo schildert sein Leben aus persönlicher Sicht: die Zeit als Sklave auf einer Zuckerrohrplantage, das Leben in den Bergen, den Krieg und die Zeit, als die Spanier vertrieben wurden, aber durch Nordamerikaner ersetzt wurden. Lévi-Strauss bemerkte, dass dieses Werk eine neue Gattung ethnologischer Literatur eröffnet, die eine tiefere Vertrautheit mit der Realität der untersuchten Ethnie zeigt. Die Lebensgeschichte von Esteban Montejo wurde 1971 von Hans Werner Henze vertont.

Eddické písně jsou jednou z nejstarších památek evropského písemnictví. V podobě jaké je známe dnes vznikly v různých obdobích na Islandu a zapsány byly někdy v 12. - 13. století a dochovány jsou v Codexu Regius v Královské knihovně v Kodani, který byl také podkladem pro všechna další vydání. Kniha se skládá z Písní mytologických, přinesených na Island uprchlíky ze Skandinávie a které svými kořeny – na rozdíl od poezie ostatních evropských národů – sahají až do doby předkřesťanské a z Písní hrdinských, vzniklých již přímo v nové vlasti a popisujících hrdinské činy i obyčejný život tehdejších obyvatel. Kniha jistě potěší každého, kdo se zajímá o život starých Vikingů a o bohatou severskou literaturu raného středověku.

Johannes Paul II. hat sein Pontifikat nie als Rückzug aus der Welt verstanden. Immer wieder hat er sich zu den großen Fragen der Menschheit geäußert. Er hat den Widerspruch gesucht und den Kommunismus mit gleicher Schärfe verurteilt wie die westliche Konsumfixierung. Rückhaltlos trat er für spirituelle Werte und für den Frieden ein, sprach sich gegen die Euthanasie aus, verteidigte die Armen und war immer auf der Seite der Schwächeren.
