George Washington: The Founding Father
ISBN: 9780060753672 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By far the most important figure in the history of the United States, George Washington liberated the thirteen colonies from the superior forces of the British Empire against all military odds, and presided over the production and ratification of a constitution that (suitably amended) has lasted for more than two hundred years. Yet today Washington remains a distant figure to many Americans--a failing that acclaimed author Paul Johnson sets out to rectify with this brilliantly vivid, sharply etched portrait of the great hero as a young warrior, masterly commander in chief, patient...

Historia Żydów
ISBN: 9788365680716 / Polski / Miękka / 2020 / 902 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. To dzieło brytyjskiego historyka Paula Johnsona (ur. 1928) jest tyleż monumentalne co „osobiste”, jak stwierdza sam autor. Johnson, konserwatysta, katolik i skandalista obyczajowy, autor licznych książek z dziedziny historii, napisał tę opowieść o losach narodu żydowskiego niejako z potrzeby serca i z życzliwością wykraczającą poza suchy warsztat historyka. Nie miały to również być zwykłe dzieje określonej populacji, lecz poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytania niemal metafizyczne: co kryje się za wolą przetrwania Żydów, jakie przesłanie niesie kilka tysięcy lat ich...

ISBN: 9781443841139 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Quantum Theatre uses the science of quantum mechanics to construct a rigorous framework for examining performance practice and the theatrical event, and live performance as a means of exploring the implications of quantum mechanics. Key ideas from physics are used to develop an interdisciplinary approach to writing about the work of a number of British theatre practitioners in terms of identity, observation and play. What this type of analysis does is enable an examination of aspects of performance that can remain hidden and so cast new light on the performance event. This is the first study...

Napoleon
ISBN: 9788073641245 / Czeski / 2021 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jen málokterý jednotlivec dokázal ovlivnit dějiny zásadněji než Napoleon Bonaparte. I když byl u moci jen po desetiletí a půl, jeho vliv nepřestal být patrný dodnes a mnoho lidí stále obdivuje jeho nezdolnou vůli.
Jednou z hlavních tezí Johnsonovy knihy je, že Bonaparte nebyl ideolog, nýbrž oportunista, kterému se podařilo využít dějinné náhody Francouzské revoluce k tomu, aby se vyšvihl na vrchol moci. Poté rozpoutal v Evropě nejničivější války, jaké starý světadíl do té doby zažil. Vůbec poprvé hrály v obrovském růstu armád...

Dějiny amerického národa
ISBN: 9788073353612 / Czeski / 2014 / 852 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dějiny amerického národa v Johnsonově podání jsou o to dramatičtější, že se v nich anglický historik pokouší postihnout zápas o charakter a smysl americké kultury. Na rozdíl od dnešních revizionistů, kteří tvrdí, že Spojené státy jsou jen slepencem rasových a národnostních skupin bez společně sdílené kultury, nebo těch, kteří tvrdí, že Američané jsou pouze politickým národem, je autor přesvědčen o specifickém významu náboženských a kulturních angloamerických znaků, které se vyvíjely od příchodu prvních osadníků až po dnešní dny....
