<p>Štěstí je dnes předmětem zvýšeného zájmu společenských věd i široké veřejnosti. Také teologie se pokouší najít k němu opět cestu a prokázat, že křesťanská víra nejen odkazuje k posmrtné blaženosti, ale také významně přispívá ke zvládání pozemského života. Kniha reflektuje současné teologie štěstí a poukazuje na rozdílný přístup v protestantské a katolické tradici. Jako klíčové se ukazuje být hodnocení významu lidského jednání pro dosažení zdařilého života. Pojem Božího požehnání, vztahující se k lidskému činu, dokáže propojit lásku k bližnímu a sebelásku v jeden celek, který zkušenost štěstí umožňuje.</p>

<p>Kniha akcentuje úlohu poezie v životě dětí a mládeže, v mezigenerační komunikaci i ve školním dialogu mezi učitelem a žákem. Je koncipována tak, aby podpořila odborný zájem o literaturu pro děti, ale také aby se stala oporou pro učitelskou veřejnost i běžného čtenáře. Lze v ní najít interpretačně komentovaný přehled autorské poezie pro děti a mládež perspektivou autorského zastoupení, básnické formy a výrazu, věkového určení, umělecké hodnoty či nakladatelského zájmu. Publikace poskytuje orientaci ve vazbě k literatuře pro dospělé, k folklornímu říkadlu, vymezuje se intermediálně zvláště k hudbě a výtvarnému umění (například v tvorbě Petra Nikla) a přitom nezapomíná ani na didaktický kontext. Ptá se na to, jak je poezie zastoupena v aktuálně využívaných čítankách a jak se s ní pracuje ve výuce. V neposlední řadě nabízí náměty pro realizaci výuky, jejíž stěžejní aktivity tvoří interpretace básnických textů.</p>

I devoured this' IMOGEN CRIMP The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation's imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii can't resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzuki's Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

<p>In his ground-breaking new book, Sathnam Sanghera traces the legacies of British empire around the world. 'Beautifully written, and not just a welcome corrective but a book for our times. This is essential reading' Peter Frankopan_____________________________________________________2.6 billion people are inhabitants of former British colonies.The empire's influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and its gravitational influence upon the world outside it, has been profound: from the spread of Christianity by missionaries, to nearly 1 in 3 driving on the left side of the road, to the origins of international law.

In doing so, Sanghera demonstrates just how deeply British imperialism is baked into our world.And why it's time Britain was finally honest with itself about empire._____________________________________________________'Once again, Sathnam Sanghera has advanced the civil conversation we all need to have about empire and its legacies' Jonathan Coe'Engages in deep research and historical re-analysis . . . also a profoundly moving work of personal insight, intelligence and compassion' Elizabeth Day'This is a ground-breaking and eye-opening book, that everyone should read.
