Now, the People! Revolution in the Twenty-First Century
In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon's presidential programme. Now, the People! details his vision of revolution in our time. In this book, Mélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis-ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens' revolution. In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.

Roger Fry

Roger Fry: Bloomsbury and the Invention of Modern Art offers a compelling portrait of his extraordinary career and his pivotal role in redefining British art.

Capitalism and Its Critics
A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics
At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence.
John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics.
Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.

In the heart-pounding sequel to the Sunday Times bestselling dystopian romance Silver Elite, lines will be crossed, loyalties will be tested, and the fight for the Continent is only just beginning as Wren Darlington finds herself caught in the middle of two wars: one for the fate of her home and another for the fate of her heart.

Complicating matters even further is her shocking reunion with hotshot fighter pilot and undercover operative, Grayson Blake.

Krádež
Abdulrazak Gurnah nám ve svém nejnovějším románu, prvním od chvíle, kdy v roce 2021 získal Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, předkládá subtilní příběh o dospívání, vině, touze a hledání vlastní identity ve světě poznamenaném koloniální minulostí.
S empatií a vypravěčskou jistotou sleduje autor osudy tří hlavních postav, jejichž životy se protínají v prostředí, kde osobní rozhodnutí nikdy nejsou zcela oddělena od širších historických a společenských vlivů. Gurnah rozplétá jejich vztahy s trpělivostí a citem pro detail, přičemž postupně odhaluje skryté motivace, zklamání i naděje.
Krádež je zároveň intimním příběhem dospívání i široce pojatým obrazem postkoloniální reality - světa, v němž se minulost neustále vrací a ovlivňuje přítomnost. V závěru, plném napětí a katarze, se jednotlivé dějové linie propojují v překvapivé, a přitom nevyhnutelné rozuzlení.
Gurnahův román je výjimečný svou schopností probouzet porozumění: nenápadně, ale vytrvale nás vede k tomu, abychom méně soudili a více chápali - druhé i sami sebe.
Román Theft představuje návrat autora do rodné Tanzanie a navazuje na témata, která charakterizují jeho dosavadní tvorbu - otázku identity, vykořenění, sociální nerovnosti a vztahu mezi Afrikou a Evropou v globalizovaném světě.

Tetraéder 2077
Po nehode na bicykli sa Milan ocitá vo virtuálnej realite, vytvorenej vyspelou mimozemskou civilizáciou. Tam prijme posolstvo, ktoré môže zmeniť osud ľudstva. V tomto priestore, kde sa čas ohýba a vedomie rozširuje, sa stretáva s bytosťami, ktoré mu odhaľujú cestu k novému modelu spoločnosti, ekonomiky a duchovného rozvoja.
Kniha nie je len príbehom o kontakte s mimozemšťanmi. Je to výzva k premýšľaniu a zároveň pozvánka k dialógu, introspekcii a hľadaniu lepšej budúcnosti. Spája sci-fi s filozofiou, spiritualitou a spoločenskou kritikou. Využíva kreatívne analógie – ako Imhotepov šach – na vysvetlenie komplexných konceptov, ktoré sú podané zrozumiteľne a ľudsky.
Kniha TETRAÉDER 2077 je filozofická sci-fi výprava, ktorá ťa vtiahne do sveta, kde sa realita formuje myšlienkami, kde sa učí o rovnováhe medzi EQ a IQ a hovorí o ekonomike, ktorá odmeňuje prínos, nie hromadenie, a prináša vodcovstvo, ktoré vychádza z empatie, nie z ega.
Priprav sa na čítanie, ktoré ťa zmení!

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.”
