Vybrané básne Johna F. Deana EVANJELIUM PODĽA JOHNA v brilantnom preklade Jany Kantorovej-Bálikovej nám predstavujú (po W. B. Yeatsovi, S. Heaneym) ďalšieho výborného írskeho básnika, ktorého tvorba nesporne patrí do moderného európskeho fondu poézie. Deaneove verše presiaknuté žičlivým kresťanstvom a humanizmom hovoria o hľadaní Boha, o bolesti, smrti, írskej krajine a nádeji.

Modern software systems increasingly rely on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as building blocks, with some major systems assembled with minimal custom code. This approach promises rapid delivery, shared development costs, and enhanced capabilities as commercial offerings improve. However, the potential of COTS products is often not fully realized, leading to more failures than successes in their implementation. The research and software practitioner communities have been engaged with COTS-based systems for years, accumulating enough documented experience to analyze and share success stories, common pitfalls, lessons learned, and research advancements. Effective use of COTS in major systems requires new skills, knowledge, and altered roles and processes. The International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS) addresses the challenges of integrating COTS products into software systems. Sponsored by the National Research Council Canada, the Software Engineering Institute, and the University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering, the conference aims to unite managers, developers, maintainers, and researchers to exchange expertise and experiences in this evolving field.
These poems of religiously shaped place and passion follow three offices of the church, leading toward a world blessed by reason. The voice is that of an Everyman fallen from grace who has the boldness to trust in the possibility of belief. Single poems and sequences, metered and free verse, make up this collection, in which the Psalms have taken flesh with the passion that King David knew and the grace that the Catholic mystics attest to.
Sheer survival is difficult enough for the people of a small island off the west of Ireland - what chance do they have of love or even of dignity? In the 1950s their battle is with the savage forces of poverty, disease and religious constraint. Terrible things happen - rape, incest, bestiality - and yet somehow compassion, love and generosity of spirit manage to continue. Brooding over it all is the elemental figure of Big Bucko, symbolic of all that is brutal and disruptive. Four decades later, the island is facing other dangers: the Spanish fishing boats which threaten the livelihood of the trawlermen, the encroachment of tourism and the gradual disintegration of community. But still the people strive to transcend their common legacy of suffering, to reach for love and a new connectedness. Mythic, lyrical and moving, this extraordinary novel sounds the depths of our relationship with nature and with each other, and bears witness to love's endurance in spite of all.
"Set in a small island community off the west coast of Ireland ... [this novel] follows the lives of Patrick Brennan and Dorothy Lohan. Destined for the religious life- the convent for Dorothy; the priesthood for Patrick- and from different social backgrounds, the pair form an unlikely and compelling friendship, even as the paths they have chosen seem to be pulling them apart"--P. [4] of cover.
