Touha po objevování je stará jako lidstvo samo. Nutí nás sbalit batoh a vyrazit za dobrodružstvím. Ale co když je tím největším dobrodružstvím setkání s vlastní duší? Na pozadí 840 kilometrů dlouhé pouti napříč magickými Pyrenejemi autorka vypráví příběh o síle dětských snů, o peripetiích z trailu i ze života, o přátelství, svobodě, horách, strachu, odvaze i lásce. Jaké bláznivé situace můžete na trailu zažít? Jak taková cesta změní váš pohled na život i sebe sama? Můžete se na ní zamilovat? A co když se zamilujete sami do sebe? Duše na cestách s humorem i hloubkou odkrývá, že každá cesta ven je především cestou dovnitř. Největším pokladem je nalezení sebe sama a největší výzvou je vypořádat se s tím, že po návratu už nejste „tou holkou z trailu“. Nepodceňujte sílu svých snů. Všechno, po čem jste kdy toužili, čeká za hranicí vašeho strachu.

Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importanc...

This book throws new light on the complexity and variety of practices which may be defined as 'theatrical' in a broad sense in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English drama. The volume deals first with the mainstream of dramatic production, starting from the anti-theatrical debate which characterized the whole period and increased in intensity as it went on. Here Shakespeare and Ben Jonson come on stage with their rejoinders to this issue. At the same time, while the universities were offering a kind of theatre workshop importing Latin and Italian models, popular performances were being staged in non-theatrical spaces. Tournaments, and their aristocratic codes, are explored as well as more popular and 'marginal' spectacles - such as those of conny-catching improvisers, jugglers, gypsy dancers and fortune-tellers, clowns and prophetesses.

Naples was one of the largest cities in early modern Europe, and for about two centuries the largest city in the global empire ruled by the kings of Spain. Its crowded and noisy streets, the height of its buildings, the number and wealth of its churches and palaces, the celebrated natural beauty of its location, the many antiquities scattered in its environs, the fiery volcano looming over it, the drama of its people’s devotions, the size and liveliness - to put it mildly - of its plebs, all made Naples renowned and at times notorious across Europe. The new essays in this volume aim to introduce this important, fascinating, and bewildering city to readers unfamiliar with its history. Contr...
The study of the artworks of the Old Masters has long been the prerogative of art historians alone. Expertise and other art-historical methods can now make much greater use than ever before of the findings of the so-called exact sciences. These make it possible to acquire new knowledge about works of art of the past that is not obvious to our eyes. Imaging and instrumental methods for the study of works of art often allow us to literally “look into the painting”, below the surface of what we see, and observe the work in different areas of the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, for example. By using various research methods – with the necessary caution and awareness of the...
