Perlego

Najít tu správnou knihu ke čtení může být náročné, a proto zde na UNYP spolupracujeme s online knihovnou Perlego, abychom představili Knihu měsíce. Pro tento měsíc jsme vybrali Alchymistu od portugalského romanopisce Paula Coelha. Jsme si vědomi toho, že každý má jiné preference a vkus; někdy je však důležité vystoupit ze své komfortní zóny a […]

Jak jednou řekla J. K. Rowlingová: „Pokud vás nebaví číst, nenašli jste správnou knihu“. Neexistuje nic jako „dobrá“ nebo „špatná“ kniha – stejně jako v případě hudby máme na knihy každý svůj vkus. Je důležité najít knihu, která vás zaujme a při čtení vás potěší. Najít tu správnou knihu může být náročné, proto jsme pro vás […]

William Shakespeare je jedním z nejuznávanějších dramatiků, kteří kdy existovali. Stejně jako jeho hrami a poezií je Shakespeare také známý mnoha záhadami kolem jeho života. Shakespeare je považován za jednoho z největších spisovatelů v historii anglické literatury, ačkoli o jeho životě je známo jen velmi málo informací a dokonce ani jeho životopisci si nejsou jistí […]

It has been a few weeks since the end of the UNYP fall semester, and most of our students are now using Perlego for their studies. Many of them also choose to use the website to read for pleasure, which is an excellent way to relax during the long winter break evenings. Even if you are […]

Once again, we find ourselves wrapping up the Fall semester here at UNYP. Although 2020 has been a challenging year, it has pushed us to become more open to innovations and technologies that facilitate the education process and help students persist with their studies. One of these was our Perlego subscription, which significantly helped UNYP […]

As we finish the month of December and reflect upon the events of this challenging year, we thought this book would be an excellent pick for our Perlego Book of the Month feature; not only for its quiet meditative tone and philosophical nature but also because some of the photographs discussed by Geoff Dyer were taken during the Great Depression and the Second World War, in times […]

October was the month of terrifying Halloween pranks and spooky stories – and scariest of all, the dreaded midterms! With this theme in mind, we chose a book by the “father of horror” himself for our Perlego book of the month – The Terrifying Tales of Edgar Allan Poe. This volume includes many of the scary stories that you might have been too stubborn to read in high school English, including The Tell-Tale […]

It has now been a month since the start of the fall semester at the University of New York in Prague. As most of our students have been using Perlego to acquire textbooks for their classes, many have forgotten that you can also use the website to find a book to read for pleasure, sit with a cup […]

In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic – with its significant economic and public health effects, global instability and border closures – the management and faculty of the University of New York in Prague are preparing to face the enormous challenges and uncertainty that the Fall 2020 semester will bring. It isparticularly challenging to forecast the progress of the virus; we need to monitor the situation and be ready for […]
