RUR【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>R.U.R.</strong> - written in 1920, premiered in Prague in 1921, and first performed in New York in 1922 - garnered worldwide acclaim for its author and popularized the word 'robot'. Mass-produced as efficient laborers to serve man, Capek's Robots are an android product-they remember everything but think of nothing new. But the Utopian life they provide ultimately lacks meaning, and the humans they serve stop reproducing. When the Robots revolt, killing all but one of their masters, they must strain to learn the secret of self-duplication. It is not until two Robots fall in love and are christened "Adam" and "Eve" by the last surviving human that Nature emerges triumphant.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 164円

Bohemian (Cech) Bibliography: A Finding List of Writings in English Relating to Bohemia and the Cechs【電子書籍】[ Anna Vostrovsk? Capek & Thomas Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It sounds incredible, yet it is literally true, that every Slavic nation was, before the war, and probably still is, better known to the English speaking people than the Bohemians (?echs). What is the reason? That the Bohemians, who are the most literate of all the Slavs, have remained undiscovered may be attributed to three main causes: They are not a free nation. They are a landlocked nation. They are rated a small nation. The opportunities which a seacoast offers to a people, to mention the Dutch, Irish, Belgians, Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, all of whom are numerically smaller than the Bohemian-Slovaks are inestimable. In the forum of world’s commerce and politics, the sea is their powerful sponsor. To a landlocked people this great boon is denied. Inland nations may reach the outside world through an intermediary only, and if that intermediary happens to be a powerful and ungenerous state, the policy of which is to keep its little neighbor in the background, the consequences are obvious. That there live in Central Europe Teutons and none others but Teutons was being daily demonstrated to the Americans by a most convincing proof. Almost every box of merchandise shipped here from that part of the world bore the tell-tale mark “Made in Germany.” Rarely one saw at the terminals goods labelled “Made in Austria,” and rarer still, “Made in Bohemia.” And yet many an article of merchandise thus marked was really made in Bohemia, for parts of Bohemia teem with all kinds of wonderful industries. Because of centuries of political and economic subjection, the very existence of the nation has been lost sight of by the Anglo-Saxons. In the interval between the catastrophal defeat of the Bohemians in 1620 and 1848, the year of revolutionary changes, nothing has occurred in Bohemia to attract the attention of the world to the Bohemian nation. The Seven Years’ War, and later the Napoleonic Wars, were events that concerned not Bohemia as an independent state, but the whole of the Hapsburg Empire. The Russians acquired renown in the first quarter of the nineteenth century by their defeat of Napoleon. Later, during the Crimean War, Russia again came into prominence in the Anglo-American press. Kosciuszko and Pulaski were names to be conjured with by the Polish immigrant. The uprisings in 1830 and in 1863 made sufficiently known to the Americans the ideals and the miseries of Poland. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877 and the Berlin Congress following it made the English reader familiar with the geography and political ambitions of the Balkan Slavs. The Serbs, the Bulgars, the Montenegrines were successively introduced to the newspaper man and through him to the public at large. Alone the Bohemians remained undiscovered, unknown. Before the war the average reader did not know where Bohemia was located with respect to Austria-Hungary. That ethnically, there might be a difference between a ?ech, Hungarian and an Austrian he suspected, yet it was not wholly clear to him wherein the dissimilarity lay. One could cite countless instances of astonishing naivet? concerning the history of the nations which inhabit central and southeastern Europe. Four years ago a journalist and a writer who served on the western front in the capacity of a war correspondent made the astounding discovery that “the ancient Czech (Bohemian) language still continues to be spoken in Prague.”</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,200円

The Absolute at Large【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"One of the genuine masterpieces of sci-fi." ー R. D. Mullen<br /> In this satirical and enduringly relevant work of science fiction, the acclaimed Czech author Karel ?apek offers a prescient fable of the benefits and dangers of atomic power. Originally published in 1922, the story is set in a then-futuristic Czechoslovakia of 1943, in which an inventor develops the Karburator, a device with the potential to provide abundant low-cost energy. But the reactor's exciting possibilities are shadowed by its dangerous side effect: instead of carbon dioxide, it emits the Absolute, a spiritual essence that inspires a powerful religious fervor. Greed triumphs over ethics as the inventor and his business partner proceed with mass production of the Karburator, resulting in simmering religious strife that ignites a world war.<br /> Karel ?apek is best known for popularizing the term "robot" in his play <em>R.U.R.,</em> a seminal work of science fiction in which the robots are metaphors for a world dehumanized by social organization and technology. He offers another strikingly foresighted vision in <em>The Absolute at Large,</em> written decades before global warming awareness yet predicting the catastrophic consequences of the unchecked pursuit of profit by business and industry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,477円

La Guerra de las Salamandras【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><strong>La Guerra de las Salamandras</strong></em>, de <strong>Karel ?apek</strong>, es una novela sat?rica y aleg?rica publicada en 1936 que narra el descubrimiento de unas salamandras inteligentes en una isla del sudeste asi?tico. Inicialmente explotadas por el ser humano como mano de obra barata para la recolecci?n de perlas y trabajos submarinos, estas criaturas comienzan a reproducirse r?pidamente y a ser incorporadas al sistema econ?mico mundial. Empresas, gobiernos y cient?ficos ven en ellas una oportunidad de progreso y beneficio, sin prever las consecuencias de su expansi?n.</p> <p>A medida que las salamandras adquieren lenguaje, organizaci?n y tecnolog?a ーaprendida de los propios humanosー, empiezan a reclamar espacios, derechos y territorios. El crecimiento de su poblaci?n provoca tensiones geopol?ticas: las salamandras son utilizadas para modificar costas, construir infraestructuras y, finalmente, como instrumento de poder militar. La humanidad, dividida por intereses econ?micos y rivalidades nacionales, contribuye involuntariamente a fortalecer a una especie que terminar? enfrent?ndose a ella.</p> <p>La novela combina distintos registros narrativos ーart?culos de prensa, informes cient?ficos, documentos pol?ticos y episodios de ficci?nー para construir una cr?tica mordaz al imperialismo, al capitalismo desenfrenado, al racismo y al avance ciego de la t?cnica. A trav?s del humor negro y de situaciones absurdas, ?apek muestra c?mo la incapacidad humana para reconocer l?mites morales conduce a una cat?strofe global. La amenaza de las salamandras no surge de su maldad, sino de la l?gica del sistema que las cre?.</p> <p>Karel ?apek (1890?1938) fue un escritor, dramaturgo y ensayista checo, conocido por su defensa del humanismo y su cr?tica precoz a los totalitarismos del siglo XX. Autor tambi?n de <em>R.U.R.</em>, obra que populariz? la palabra "robot", ?apek utiliz? la ficci?n especulativa como medio para reflexionar sobre la responsabilidad ?tica, el abuso del poder y el destino de la civilizaci?n moderna. <em>La guerra de las salamandras</em> es considerada su obra m?s ambiciosa y una de las grandes novelas dist?picas europeas.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

R.U.R. and the Vision of Artificial Life【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A new translation of Karel ?apek’s play <em>R.U.R</em>.ーwhich famously coined the term “robot”ーand a collection of essays reflecting on the play’s legacy from scientists and scholars who work in artificial life and robotics.</strong></p> <p><em>Karel ?apek's “R.U.R.” and the Vision of Artificial Life</em> offers a new, highly faithful translation by ?t?p?n ?imek of Czech novelist, playwright, and critic Karel ?apek’s play <em>R.U.R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots</em>, as well as twenty essays from contemporary writers on the 1920 play. <em>R.U.R.</em> is perhaps best known for first coining the term “robot” (in Czech, <em>robota</em> means serfdom or arduous drudgery). The twenty essays in this new English edition, beautifully edited by Jitka ?ejkov?, are selected from <em>Robot 100</em>, an edited collection in Czech with perspectives from 100 contemporary voices that was published in 2020 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the play.</p> <p>?apek’s robots were autonomous beings, but biological, not mechanical, made of chemically synthesized soft matter resembling living tissue, like the synthetic humans in <em>Blade Runner, Westworld</em>, or <em>Ex Machina</em>. The contributors to the collectionーscientists and other scholarsーexplore the legacy of the play and its connections to the current state of research in artificial life, or ALife. Throughout the book, it is impossible to ignore ?apek’s prescience, as his century-old science fiction play raises contemporary questions with respect to robotics, synthetic biology, technology, artificial life, and artificial intelligence, anticipating many of the formidable challenges we face today.</p> <p><strong>Contributors</strong><br /> Jitka ?ejkov?, Miguel Aguilera, I?igo R. Arandia, Josh Bongard, Julyan Cartwright, Seth Bullock, Dominique Chen, Gusz Eiben, Tom Froese, Carlos Gershenson, Inman Harvey, Jana Hor?kov?, Takashi Ikegami, Sina Khajehabdollahi, George Musser, Geoff Nitschke, Julie Nov?kov?, Antoine Pasquali, Hemma Philamore, Lana Sinapayen, Hiroki Sayama, Nathaniel Virgo, Olaf Witkowski</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,973円

La maladie blanche【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Plus de quatre-vingts ans apr?s la disparition de Karel Capek, le monde est confront? ? une pand?mie pr?sentant de curieuses ressemblances avec la maladie blanche. Une nouvelle confirmation de l'intuition g?niale et de l'extraordinaire don d'anticipation de l'immense ?crivain.<br /> Un nouveau virus, qui vient de Chine, frappe mortellement les gens ?g?s de plus de quarante ans. Le professeur Sigelius, chef d'une clinique prestigieuse, se montre incr?dule, presque arrogant m?me, lorsqu'un m?decin inconnu, le docteur Gal?n, lui propose de tester un m?dicament qu'il dit tr?s efficace contre la " maladie blanche ".</p> <p>Malgr? ses doutes, le professeur est oblig? de se rendre ? l'?vidence : les r?sultats du nouveau traitement sont excellents. Le rem?de contre la pand?mie existe donc, mais son inventeur refuse de l'administrer ? ceux qu'il consid?re comme responsables de la guerre qui se pr?pare. Ses convictions et son obstination lui interdisent de c?der aux ambitions et ? la fatuit? du professeur Sigelius, aux int?r?ts du baron Kr?g, industriel et fabricant d'armes, et ? la folie militaire du Mar?chal, leader supr?me qui exhorte son peuple ? se lancer dans le conflit.

Nanocomposite Structures and Dispersions【電子書籍】[ Ignac Capek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Nanocomposite Structures and Dispersions deals with the preparation of gelled, branched and crosslinked nanostructured polymers in the solution free radical polymerization and controlled/living radical polymerization and polymer and composite nanoparticles and nanostructures in disperse systems, the kinetics of direct and inverse disperse polymerizations (microemulsion, miniemulsion, emulsion, dispersion and suspension polymerization), the bottom-up approach building of functionalized nanoparticles, modelling of radical microemulsion polymerization, the characterization of traditional and non-traditional polymer dispersions, the collective properties of nanomaterials and their (bio)applications.This book is designed to bridge that gap and offers several unique features. First, it is written as an introduction to and survey of nanomaterials with a careful balance between basics and advanced topics. Thus, it is suitable for both beginners and experts, including graduate and upper-level undergraduate students. Second, it strives to balance the colloidal aspects of nanomaterials with physical principles. Third, the book highlights nanomaterial based architectures including composite or hybrid conjugates rather than only isolated nanoparticles. A number of ligands have been utilized to biodecorate the polymer and composite nanocarriers. Finally, the book provides an in depth discussion of important examples of reaction mechanisms of bottom-up building of functionalized nanoparticles, or potential applications of nanoarchitectures, ranging from physical to chemical and biological systems. - Free radical (controlled) polymerization, branching, crosslinking and gelling - Kinetics and mechanism of polymer nanoparticles formation - Modelling of radical polymerization in disperse systems - Polymer, composite and metal nanoparticles, nanostructures and nanomaterials - Smart nanostructures, biodecorated particles, nanocarriers and therapeutics</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 24,319円
