In 1960, the 9th Annual International Stoke Mandeville Games were supported, for the first time, by the Italian Olympic Committee. Taking place six days after the Closing Ceremony of the XVII Olympic Games, the paralympic games for disabled athletes were born. From Roma in 1960 to London in 2012, the Paralympic Games grew in terms of athletes’ number from 400 to 4,237, and now brings together more than 164 nations (Perret, 2015). The word “Paralympic” derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside) and the word “Olympic”.

Na přelomu 14. a 15. století se v Praze zrodila hereze, která svou silou pozdvihla celou zemi. Z věrnosti k svému mluvčímu mistru Janu Husovi Čechy přervaly pouta s koncilem i císařem, kteří jej vydali světské moci k upálení na hranici. Monografie Oliviera Marina mapuje kořeny tohoto konfliktu. Závěr 14. století byl dobou reforem a nešlo zde jen o tu, kterou později nazveme husitstvím. Hus bezpochyby dokonale ztělesňoval evangelické smýšlení české univerzitní elity. Vedle něj však spolupůsobily i další osobnosti – německy mluvící mistři, představitelé církevní hierarchie nebo zbožní laici. Ačkoli navzájem sdíleli nostalgii po čase apoštolů, jejich představy o Bohu, svátostech i církvi byly rozličné. Jejich dialog tvoří páteř této knihy, která ve výkladu o setkáních i střetávání mezi arcibiskupem, univerzitními mistry a věřícími odhaluje náboženské kořeny střední Evropy. Olivier Marin, absolvent École Normale Supérieure v Paříži, působí jako docent na Université Paris-Nord a v Semináři Saint-Sulpice.
