In the world about us, the past is distinctly different from the future. More precisely, we say that the processes going on in the world about us are asymmetric in time or display an arrow of time. Yet this manifest fact of our experience is particularly difficult to explain in terms of the fundamental laws of physics. Newton's laws, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, Einstein's theory of gravity, etc., make no distinction between past and future - they are time-symmetric. Reconciliation of these profoundly conflicting facts is the topic of this volume. It is an interdisciplinary survey of the variety of interconnected phenomena defining arrows of time, and their possible explanations in terms of underlying time-symmetric laws of physics.

This exploration of the global structure of spacetime within the context of general relativity examines the causal and singular structures of spacetime, revealing some of the curious possibilities that are compatible with the theory, such as 'time travel' and 'holes' of various types. Investigations into the epistemic and modal structures of spacetime highlight the difficulties in ruling out such possibilities, unlikely as they may seem at first. The upshot seems to be that what counts as a 'physically reasonable' spacetime structure in modern physics is far from clear.

Publikace shrnuje výsledky výzkumu různých typů prostoru v literární tvorbě čtyř francouzských autorek inspirovaných křesťanstvím, M. Noëlové, S. Renaudové, Ch. Singerové a S. Germainové. Jejich literární texty pokrývají celé 20. století a ukazují rozmanitost v přístupech k prostoru, ale také rozdíl v literatuře obou polovin 20. století. Metodologicky práce postupuje od fenomenologického bachelardovského pohledu na intimní prostor domova přes otevřený prostor profánní i posvátný dle studií Mircey Eliadeho ke geokritické analýze prostoru v návaznosti na teorii geokritiky Bertranda Westphala, v českém prostředí dosud téměř nevyužívanou. Studium prostoru ukazuje, že literaturu nelze oddělovat od okolního světa, naopak také ona přispívá k jeho lepšímu porozumění.
