Read This to Look Cool
This book won’t fix you, but imagine how cool you’ll look carrying it around…
Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been … mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she’s one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word “bespoke,” and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She’ll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).
With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures?like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald’s so she wouldn’t come off as dramatic?and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility.
Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It’s a book that says “I see you” and also “Don’t look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird.”
Vesmír není dominatrix
Poezie mikulovsko-brněnské básnířky Eli Hondl (nar. 1995) je světem protikladů. Její obraznost dokáže být lyrická a odkouzleně křehká, ale i naštvaně kritická a syrová. Na jedné straně tu „ze dna vraků prorůstají jako choroše / tlamy bílých běluh / písně tumorů samoty“, abychom se jen o chvíli později stali svědky mlčení i výkřiků, jež mají kořeny v hněvu stejně jako v sexu. Jednotlivými básněmi ve sbírce se pak jako jednotící linka táhne tělesnost; ta reflektuje jak tělo vlastní, tak i tělo společenské. A nakonec je tak do dvojí role postaven i jazyk samotný — prostředek, jak zúčtovat sama se sebou: „ideologický jazyk polykej pomalu / vyklovaná rána hnisá božskou / ale třetí oko máš příliš jasné“.

William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795
William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795 takes seriously William Blake’s wish to be read as a natural philosopher, particularly in his early illuminated works, and reveals the way that poetry and visual art were for Blake an imaginative way of philosophizing. Blake’s poetry and designs reveal a consistent preoccupation with eighteenth-century natural philosophical debates concerning the properties of the physical world, the nature of the soul, and God’s relationship to the material universe. This book traces the history of these debates and examines images and ideas in Blake’s illuminated books that mark the development of the monist pantheism, which contends that every material thing is in its essence God, to the idealism of his later period, which casts the natural world as degenerate and illusory. The book argues that Blake’s philosophical thought was not as monolithic as has been previously characterized, and that pantheism is important to understanding his early works because it entails an ethics that respects the interconnected divinity of all material objects – not just humans – which in turn spurns hierarchical power structures.

The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel: Deluxe Edition
With bold imagery and an ear tuned to the music of Homer’s epic poem, award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds reinterprets the ancient classic as it’s never been told before. A New York Times bestseller, now in a sumptuous collectible edition with new cover design, gold foil, and painted edges.
“Gareth Hinds brings The Odyssey to life in a masterful blend of art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer’s epic.” —Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, king of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses, Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning—and a little help from Mount Olympus—to make his way home and seize his kingdom from the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventure, and high action that has been told and retold for more than 2,500 years—though never quite like this.

Alfa Romeo 105 Series Spider
The Alfa Romeo 105 series Spider is one of the most admired drop-head sports cars to come out of Italy. Launched in 1966, its radical new look was not immediately welcomed. As prospective buyers gradually warmed to the model, enhancements were introduced including more powerful engines and higher-spec body and interior fittings. Despite its inauspicious start, production of this much-admired car lasted for twenty-seven years, finally stopping in 1993. Jim Talbott and Andrew Brown pay homage to the 105/115 series Alfa Spider. With over 330 photographs, many specially commissioned, this new book describes the Alfa Romeo company history including its philosophy of incorporating driver appeal into all of its products, resulting in some of the most desirable vehicles of their age; it details the evolution of the 105/115 series through four distinct body styles; lists the technical design specifications and every major version of the Spider and finally, discusses the issues and challenges of finding and owning a classic Spider.
