<p>V předloženém svazku nabízíme překlad vybraných pasáží vrcholného díla Isaaca Newtona (1643–1727) Matematické principy přírodní filozofie (1687). Newton v něm završil vývoj raně novověké fyziky, astronomie a přírodní filozofie a představil nový obraz světa založený na matematice a fyzikálním pojmu gravitační síly. Náš výbor obsahuje předmluvy k Principům a úvodní části spisu, které definují hlavní fyzikální pojmy a vyslovují základní principy Newtonovy mechaniky. Překlad dále zahrnuje vybrané pasáže třetí knihy Principů, která prostřednictvím nově zavedeného pojmu gravitační síly vysvětluje stavbu Sluneční soustavy. Součástí knihy je rovněž překlad Newtonových dopisů reverendu Bentleymu z let 1692–1693. V těchto dopisech Newton reaguje na otázky, které se týkají povahy gravitační síly, kosmologie a úlohy Boha ve vesmíru. Překlad doprovázejí dva úvodní texty, které představují historický kontext Newtonova díla a fyzikální výklad nejdůležitějších částí Principů.</p>

<p>S novým životem, který Pauline nosí pod srdcem, pocítí hrdinka románu Kdo ví nutkání odhalit původ svých dalších křestních jmen – Jeanne, Jérôme a Ysé. V cestě za poznáním jejich předešlých nositelů, o nichž se v rodině mlčí, ji pohání i snaha vyrovnat se s osobní tragédií. Druhý román Pauline Delabroy-Allard vzdává hold samotnému aktu psaní, které dokáže vyplňovat prázdno a hojit rány. Stejně jako ve své podmanivé prvotině Taková je Sarah i v Kdo ví prokládá autorka intimní zpověď živou imaginací, a vytváří tak dynamické vyprávění, které ohledává hranice autofikce.</p>

<p>An updated authorized edition of Isabelle Fiemeyer’s literary biography of Coco Chanel, which demystifies the legendary designer’s life. Coco Chanel was an emancipated fashion revolutionary. Raised by nuns in an orphanage, she rose to become a star of the world of couture and a byword for stylish elegance. But now, a fascinating new light can be shed on her life and career. During the Second World War, Chanel closed her couture house, but accepted the enemy’s help in rescuing her beloved nephew from a prison camp. However, as newly declassified information reveals, she did not supply any information in exchange for this favour. Moreover, it now seems that she was unknowingly listed as an agent because of her British connections and friendship with Winston Churchill. Featuring unpublished and exclusive content based on first-hand interviews with Chanel’s great-niece and confidante, this evocative portrait is based on years of painstaking archive research and tells the true story of the twentieth century’s most celebrated yet enigmatic fashion icon.</p>

<p>Kniha je překladem více než devadesáti lidových vyprávění z pozdního období korejského království Čoson (1392–1910), která jsou součástí sbírky Čchonggu jadam (Neoficiální historky ze Země zelených hor), sebrané a zapsané anonymními autory kolem poloviny 19. století. Z velké části se jedná o příběhy reálných postav na pozadí skutečných historických událostí, ale tento základ je dobarven vypravěčskou invencí, která příběhy prokládá nadpřirozenými jevy, snovými viděními a tajuplnými osudovými zvraty. Kulisu vyprávění tvoří tradiční společnost po staletí ovládaná strohou neokonfuciánskou morálkou, která prosazovala uměřenost, střídmost, mravní zásadovost a v osobních vztazích bezmeznou oddanost vůči rodičům a panovníkovi, úctu ke starším a věrnost jedinému muži. Příběhy samotné však odrážejí prozaičtější realitu, ve které obyčejní i urození lidé sní o získání bohatství, společenského postavení a prestiže, touží po zdraví, sexuálním uspokojení, dlouhém věku a početném potomstvu. Vyprávění též nepřímo naznačují dobový rozklad společenského a ekonomického řádu, konflikty mezi sociálními vrstvami a někdy ironickým tónem poukazují na úpadek tradičních hodnot. Ačkoliv se tedy nejedná o plnohodnotný historický pramen, může čtenář prostřednictvím těchto příběhů letmo nahlédnout do všedního života a myšlenkového světa lidí ve staré Koreji.</p>
