The Wolf Man : graphic Freud
- 170bladzijden
- 6 uur lezen
Based on his most famous case study - that of Russian aristocrat,Sergei Pankejeff - Sigmund Freud recounts the history of anobsessional neurosis. Pankejeff's troubling dream of a walnut tree full of white wolves earned him the title of 'The Wolf Man'. Pankejeff is one of five clinical case histories from which Freud extrapolated his theories of transference, the Oedipus complex, super-ego and psychosexual development. Freud's now classic psychoanalytic writing blurred the boundary between science and literature, which continues to provoke fierce debate to this day.
Sen noci svatojánské (komiks)

„Čtyři noci utečou jak sen," říká královna Amazonek Hippolyta v jedné z nejslavnějších Shakespearových komedií, která se všemi svými náhlými zvraty, proměnami postav a nepřetržitým proudem okouzlující fantazie sama uteče jak sen. Adaptace, která propojuje klasický shakespearovský jazyk v brilantním překladu Martina Hilského s moderním, dynamickým grafickým stylem japonské mangy, se odehrává v současných Aténách, ale přesto z velké části zachovává antický ráz, který námětu přísluší. Výsledkem je představivostí hýřící snový svět, kde se staré a nové prolíná s překvapivou lehkostí. Sen noci svatojánské je čtvrtým svazkem edice Manga Shakespeare, která představuje dílo největšího světového dramatika a básníka prostřednictvím japonské mangy. Důraz přitom neklade jen na vizuální styl, ale dbá i na krásu Shakespearova jazyka a na dramaturgické zpracování každé hry. Edici Manga Shakespeare tak ocení všichni, kteří se chtějí seznámit s nádherně barevným, krutým i laskavým světem Shakespearových her, ale nechce se jim chodit do divadla či sáhnout po „pouhém" neilustrovaném textu.

Amusing, irreverent, sophisticated and highly accessible, Einstein for Beginners is the perfect introduction to Einstein's life and thought. Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we meet scientific luminaries and personalities of imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday, and Newton; learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light; and follow Albert's thought as he works his way toward E = mc2, the most famous equation of the twentieth century.

A cartoon book about Marx? Are you sure it's Karl, not Groucho? How can you summarize the work of Karl Marx in cartoons? It took Rius to do it. He's put it all in: the origins of Marxist philosophy, history, economics; of capital, labor, the class struggle, socialism. And there's a biography of "Charlie" Marx besides. Like the companion volumes in the series, Marx for Beginners is accurate, understandable, and very, very funny.
