David Lynch (1946 - 2025)



"Když jsem v šedesátých letech studoval umění, kouřil jsem trávu, ale ne moc - byl jsem z ní totálně paranoidní. To se mi moc nezamlouvalo. Co se týče LSD, kamarádi, co ho brali, mi řekli, ať se ho ani nedotýkám. Vždycky jsem se sám sebe ptal, proč mě od něj tak odrazovali. Jsem jim ale vděčný, že na mě tak mysleli, a nakonec jsem si ho nikdy nevzal... 

Všechny myšlenky už jsou na světě a jsou na dosah - drogy nám můžou pomoct se jich zmocnit, ale můžou je taky zdeformovat nebo můžou jiné myšlenky úplně zadusit. Je tu riziko, že člověk upadne do stavu, kdy své myšlenky není schopen konkretizovat. Pomocí meditace můžete zachytit tytéž myšlenky, navíc do větší nádoby. Drogy ani meditace nevytvářejí nic, co by předtím neexistovalo. Všechno už tu někde je."

"An Islamic Response to Imperialism: Political and Religious Writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani" Nikki R. Keddie (1968, University of California Press)

Obrázek
"Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani (1838-1897), the well known religious reformer and political activist, led a busy and complex life full of obscure and clandestine ventures. . . . [Keddie] draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources. In part I an attempt is made to provide an accurate biography and a consistent analysis of Afghani. Part II contains translations of some of his most important writings. . . Although Afghani was concerned with the wide ranging need for Islamic reform, he devoted most of his life to the more urgent political problems confronting Muslims--problems arising out of their weakness in dealing with the Western Christian powers. Hence the tide of this book. ........................ "An Islamic Response to Imperialism: Political and Religious Writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani" Nikki R.

"Five tracts of Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949): A selection from the Majmuat rasail al-Imam al-shahid Hasan al-Banna" Translated by Charles Wendell (University of California, 1978)

Obrázek
Hasan Al-Banna preceded with his work and thus left an imprint on many attempts in the years between the two wars, and especially after the Second World War, to constitute an Islamic order as the supreme political and social ideal. The publication under review contains his five studies translated into English by well-known Arabist and historian Charles Wendell. These are his most often cited essays - Between Yesterday and Today, Our Mission, To What Do We Summon Mankind?, Toward The Light and On Jihad. The main idea is always oriented toward the creation of an Islamic order (an-nizam al-islami). Hasan Al-Banna sees in Islam the only teaching that can ensure social progress and well-being and that is the key to the resolving of all basic problems of mankind. In the above-mentioned essays he tries to explain why, in his opinion, the establishment of an Islamic order is inevitable. According to his concept, there is only one valid law, namely the law of God that has to be impl...

"Korán", Ivan Hrbek (Odeon 1972)

Obrázek
Překlad Koránu od Ivana Hrbka je již třetí v pořadí a patří k těm nejlépe hodnoceným, neboť překladatel si byl vědom chyb a nedostatků v předešlých překladech (Čeština A.R.Nykl, stručný komentáře I.Veselého) a vyvaroval se jich. Jeho text je používán jak orientalisty a odborníky na islám, tak i česky mluvícími muslimy.

Abdullah Ibrahim (1934 – 2026) (My Bohu patříme a my k Němu se navrátíme! / We belong to God and to Him we return / إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ)

Obrázek
  Abdullah Ibrahim (born Adolph Johannes Brand; 9 October 1934 – 15 June 2026), previously known as Dollar Brand, was a South African pianist and composer. His music reflects many of the musical influences of his childhood in the multicultural port areas of Cape Town, ranging from traditional African songs to the gospel of the AME Church and Ragas, to more modern jazz and other Western styles. Ibrahim is considered the leading figure in the subgenre of Cape jazz. During the apartheid era in the 1960s, Ibrahim moved to New York City and, apart from a brief return to South Africa in the 1970s, remained in exile until the early 1990s. Over the decades, he toured the world extensively, appearing at major venues either as a solo artist or playing with other renowned musicians, including Max Roach, Carlos Ward and Randy Weston, as well as collaborating with classical orchestras in Europe.[2] With his wife, the jazz singer Sathima Bea Benjamin, Ibrahim was father to two children, includin...
