    • The Wolf Man : graphic Freud

      • 170 páginas
      • 6 horas de lectura

      Based on his most famous case study - that of Russian aristocrat,Sergei Pankejeff - Sigmund Freud recounts the history of anobsessional neurosis. Pankejeff's troubling dream of a walnut tree full of white wolves earned him the title of 'The Wolf Man'. Pankejeff is one of five clinical case histories from which Freud extrapolated his theories of transference, the Oedipus complex, super-ego and psychosexual development. Freud's now classic psychoanalytic writing blurred the boundary between science and literature, which continues to provoke fierce debate to this day.

      „Čtyři noci utečou jak sen," říká královna Amazonek Hippolyta v jedné z nejslavnějších Shakespearových komedií, která se všemi svými náhlými zvraty, proměnami postav a nepřetržitým proudem okouzlující fantazie sama uteče jak sen. Adaptace, která propojuje klasický shakespearovský jazyk v brilantním překladu Martina Hilského s moderním, dynamickým grafickým stylem japonské mangy, se odehrává v současných Aténách, ale přesto z velké části zachovává antický ráz, který námětu přísluší. Výsledkem je představivostí hýřící snový svět, kde se staré a nové prolíná s překvapivou lehkostí. Sen noci svatojánské je čtvrtým svazkem edice Manga Shakespeare, která představuje dílo největšího světového dramatika a básníka prostřednictvím japonské mangy. Důraz přitom neklade jen na vizuální styl, ale dbá i na krásu Shakespearova jazyka a na dramaturgické zpracování každé hry. Edici Manga Shakespeare tak ocení všichni, kteří se chtějí seznámit s nádherně barevným, krutým i laskavým světem Shakespearových her, ale nechce se jim chodit do divadla či sáhnout po „pouhém" neilustrovaném textu.

    • El mundo cómico de Shakespeare empieza a incorporarse a nuestra serie con sus dos piezas, quizá, más caracterizadas, en sentidos muy diversos: Un sueño de la noche de San Juan, deslumbrante fantasía en que se alternan planos de magia y planos de realidad, y Las alegres casadas de Windsor, donde Falstaff, el caballero juerguista y bebedor, corruptor de un príncipe, en Enrique IV, llena con su gran humanidad esta farsa donde queda en ridículo como víctima de unas malignas señoras.

    • No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels is a series based on the translated texts of the plays found in No Fear Shakespeare. The original No Fear series made Shakespeare’s plays much easier to read, but these dynamic visual adaptations are impossible to put down. Each of the titles is illustrated in its own unique style, but all are distinctively offbeat, slightly funky, and appealing to teen readers. Each book will feature:

    • Introducing Evolution A Graphic Guide

      In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory - evolution by natural selection. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory still challenges some of our most precious beliefs. Introducing Evolution provides a step-by-step guide to 'Darwin's dangerous idea' and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. Drawing on the latest findings from genetics, ecology and animal behaviour - as well as the work of best-selling science writers such as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker - a string of brilliant examples, superbly illustrated by Howard Selina, reveals how the evidence in favour of evolutionary theory is stronger than ever. With wit and clarity, Dylan Evans addresses many puzzling issues: Did life first evolve on other planets? What's the advantage of having sex? Why do your parents look after you? And what good to a bird is half a wing? From the death of the dinosaurs to the development of digital organisms, Introducing Evolution brings Darwin up-to-date with the latest scientific discoveries. This is the ideal guide to the most important idea ever to appear in the history of science

    • Freud revolutionized the way we think of ourselves. His psychoanalytic terms such as Id, Ego, libido, neurosis and Oedipus Complex have become a familiar part of our everyday vocabulary. But do we know what they really mean?

    • Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we encounter the scientific luminaries of Imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday and Newton. We learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones and why nothing can go faster than the speed of light, and follow Einstein's thought as he works his way towards the most famous equation of the 20th century.
