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.

„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.

This new edition is based on the quarto, the version closest to the original manuscript. The introduction illminates the plays' origins and practicalities of composition, its reception and influence. Detailed notes pay especial attention to language and staging, and the volume includes King Lear's first derivative, a contemporary ballad, and guides to appreciation of the play and its multiple offshoots.

"Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?" This poignant plea from Shylock encapsulates a dramatic moment in the play. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, interpretations have emerged, with some arguing that the work represents Shakespeare's condemnation of ignorance and anti-Semitism, advocating for tolerance and multiculturalism. Conversely, others view it as a comedy that ridicules a 16th-century Jew. The plot reveals a greater complexity: Bassanio, a carefree Venetian, seeks financial help from his wealthy friend Antonio to pursue the beautiful Portia in Belmont. Antonio, unwilling to deny his friend, borrows from the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who humorously demands a pound of flesh if the debt is unpaid. When disaster strikes and Antonio's ships sink, Shylock insists on his bond, transforming the initial camaraderie into a looming tragedy. The climactic courtroom scene, featuring a disguised Portia and a menacing Shylock, highlights the intense debate on "the quality of mercy." The play's controversial themes continue to evoke strong reactions, ensuring its enduring fascination and divisive nature among audiences.

In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory - evolution by natural selection. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory still challenges some of our most precious beliefs. Introducing Evolution provides a step-by-step guide to 'Darwin's dangerous idea' and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. Drawing on the latest findings from genetics, ecology and animal behaviour - as well as the work of best-selling science writers such as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker - a string of brilliant examples, superbly illustrated by Howard Selina, reveals how the evidence in favour of evolutionary theory is stronger than ever. With wit and clarity, Dylan Evans addresses many puzzling issues: Did life first evolve on other planets? What's the advantage of having sex? Why do your parents look after you? And what good to a bird is half a wing? From the death of the dinosaurs to the development of digital organisms, Introducing Evolution brings Darwin up-to-date with the latest scientific discoveries. This is the ideal guide to the most important idea ever to appear in the history of science

Lenin is the key to understanding the Russian Revolution. His dream was the creation of the world's first Socialist state. It was a short-lived dream that became a nightmare when Stalin rose to absolute power in 1929. Lenin was the avant-garde revolutionary who adapted Marxist theory to the pravtical realitites of a vast, complex and backward Russia.

Wat is in hemelsnaam Postmodernisme? Hier dan eindelijk een gids die uit de doeken doet wat dit gekmakend raadselachtige begrip uit de laat-twintigste eeuw precies voorstelt. Postmodernisme stelt dat de 'moderniteit' die zijn bakermat had in de Verlichting, vervolgens de Industriële Revolutie en het Marxisme ineengestort is. We leven thans in een oneindig voortdurende 'hedendaagse' cultuur, een virtuele wereld van 'hyperrealiteit' die zulke vreemde verschijnselen met zich meebrengt als post-Holocaust geheugenverlies, Disneyland, cyberspace en het door Fukuyama uitgeroepen 'einde van de geschiedenis'. Het boek traceert drie bronnen van het post-modernisme: kunst, theorie en geschiedenis, en legt uit wat de wezenskenmerken zijn van het structuralisme, semiotiek en deconstructie zoals ontwikkeld door postmodernisten als Foucault, Levi-Strauss en vele anderen.

The Beginner Books -- "Their cartoon format and irreverent wit make difficult ideas accessible and entertaining." -- Newsday Everything you need to know about neurosis, libido, ego, and id -- but somehow it slipped your mind. Freud for Beginners is a perfect introduction to the life and thought of the man whose discovery of psychoanalysis revolutionized our attitudes towards mental illness, religion, sex, and culture. This documentary cartoon book plunges us into the world of late-nineteenth-century Vienna in which Freud grew up. We explore his early background in science, his work as a therapist, his encounter with cocaine, and his theories on the unconscious, dreams, the Oedipus Complex, and sexuality. We meet his family, his friend and enemies, and his patients -- The Rat Man, Anna O., Little Hans -- and we get an insider's view as the psychoanalytic movement is launched. The zany art and probing text do an extraordinary job of simplifying Freud without trivializing him.

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.

Devised by Mexican cartoonist, Rius, this text provides an introduction to Marx, a philosopher that many consider to be as relevant today as he has ever been, as the world moves towards unregulated free-market economies.
