      Wybór pism czołowego myśliciela politycznego XVIII w., teoretyka instytucji partii i opozycji, który badał idee podziału władzy, wolności i patriotyzmu. W tomie znajduje się najsłynniejsze dzieło Bolingbroke'a, zawierające refleksje o dobrym władcy, będące odpowiedzią na Księcia Machiavelliego, oraz inne ważne prace łączące teoretyczną analizę z praktyką polityczną. Wśród nich List do sir Williama Windhama, ukazujący kulisy nieudanego powstania jakobickiego w 1715 r., przedstawiający świat dworskich intryg, walk frakcji i dyplomatycznych negocjacji. Henry St John, 1. wicehrabia Bolingbroke (1678-1751), był angielskim politykiem, ministrem królowej Anny Stuart i jednym z przywódców torysów. Po współpracy z Jakubem III Stuartem, pretendentem do brytyjskiego tronu, utracił tytuł i majątek, a także nałożono na niego karę śmierci. Po kilku latach na emigracji we Francji, po powrocie do Anglii stał się kluczową postacią opozycji wobec rządów Roberta Walpole'a, tworząc istotne teksty polityczne. Przypisuje mu się znaczącą rolę w kształtowaniu brytyjskiego parlamentaryzmu oraz ewolucji programowej torysów, inspirując Monteskiusza i amerykańskich kolonistów walczących o swoje prawa.

A Newman odpovedá ‒ elegantne, inteligentne a presvedčivo ‒ podobne ako jeho Majster, ktorému takisto položili otázku o vzťahu cisára a Boha.

    • So viele Tage ohne dich … Seit Annis Mutter bei einem Unfall ums Leben gekommen ist, ist nichts mehr, wie es einmal war. Ihre Schwester Sally schweigt sich aus, ihr Bruder Collin schlägt auf sein Schlagzeug ein und der Vater sitzt den ganzen Tag vor dem Fernseher. Aber zum Glück sind da die liebevollen Großeltern und Tanten, die verständnisvolle Lehrerin und ihre allerbeste Freundin Orla, die immer zu Anni hält und sie mit einem Witz zum Lachen bringt. John Newman hat einen anrührenden, lebensbejahenden und humorvollen Roman geschrieben, der zu Tränen rührt und gleichzeitig Hoffnung und Zuversicht vermittelt.

    • Kardinál John Henry Newman (1801 — 1890) Jako duchovní anglikánské církve a univerzitní kazatel v Oxfordu se stal vedoucí osobností volného sdružení, jehož cílem byla mravní a náboženská obnova anglikanismu. Jeho záměrem bylo ukázat, že anglikánská církev je nejen anglickým národním dědictvím, ale pravou církví Kristovou. Poctivost a hloubka bádání v dějinách starověké církve jej nakonec dovedly k tušení, že skutečnou nástupkyní prvotní církve je římská církev. Po sedmi letech postupné konverze dospěl do plného společenství katolické církve, v níž přijal kněžské svěcení a později od papeže Lva XIII. dokonce kardinálskou hodnost. Protože do církve přišel po cestě vytříbených argumentů, byl předurčen stát se jejím významným apologetou. Jeho působení znamenalo pro katolickou církev v Anglii dobu renesance. V roce 2010 byl papežem Benediktem XVI. prohlášen za blahoslaveného.

      John Henry Newman (1801–1890) se proslavil nejprve jako představitel reformního hnutí v anglikánské církvi, intenzivní studium dějin křesťanství jej však přivedlo až ke vstupu do katolické církve (1845). Příklad kardinála Newmana jako poctivého myslitele, teologa, pastýře a muže hlubokého duchovního života vyzdvihl papež Benedikt XVI. v září 2010, když jej během své návštěvy Velké Británie prohlásil za blahoslaveného. Z bohatého díla autora, který byl dosud v češtině nedostupný, předkládáme výběr zamyšlení, úryvků z kázání a meditací, které mohou inspirovat i křesťany 21. století.

      "Everybody tells you Dorset is a house or mansion county, not a church county...Yet when one sets down all one has seen of Dorset churches,..one suddenly realizes how much one has enjoyed", wrote Pevsner at the conclusion of his journey. The county provides many unexpected pleasures in ecclesiastical buildings, from the Norman arches of Wimborne Minster, the Early English solemnity of Milton Abbey, to the splendour of Sherborne and the monuments and furnishings of numerous smaller buildings. Of castles, mansions and houses, Dorset boasts the evocative ruins of Corfe; the splendid Kingston Lacy; mighty Milton Abbey House and a wealth of more modest homes. But the county also possesses fine towns and villages, from the Georgian elegance of Weymouth and Lyme Regis, to the the model estate village of Milton Abbas.

      • 363 pages
      • 13 hours of reading

      In this widely acclaimed work, James Ackerman considers in detail the buildings designed by Michelangelo in Florence and Rome—including the Medici Chapel, the Farnese Palace, the Basilica of St. Peter, and the Capitoline Hill. He then turns to an examination of the artist's architectural drawings, theory, and practice. As Ackerman points out, Michelangelo worked on many projects started or completed by other architects. Consequently this study provides insights into the achievements of the whole profession during the sixteenth century. The text is supplemented with 140 black-and-white illustrations and is followed by a scholarly catalog of Michelangelo's buildings that discusses chronology, authorship, and condition. For this second edition, Ackerman has made extensive revisions in the catalog to encompass new material that has been published on the subject since 1970.

    • Once a well-known Anglican clergyman, Newman left his living in the 1840's, recanted his former criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and entered the priesthood. Framing his Apologia in reply to a grave and gratuitous slander made by Charles Kingsley, Newman produced one of the masterpieces of spiritual writing: honest, passionate, scrupulous and moving, this work is also a highly accomplished prose paradigm.
