Augustus and Tiberius; Caligula, Claudius and Nero – we can all name a Roman emperor or two.But what about the philosopher Marcus Aurelius musing in his favourite villa on the Danube in Austria?How about the wretched Valerian, used as a mounting block for the King of Persia before being flayed alive?Or Elagabalus, the sun-worshipping transgender emperor?He who took the poisoned chalice of the Imperial purple was feared and respected. But these were no ordinary rulers. Ambitious, cunning, ruthless and cruel, fear was their watchword and raw power, through the dangerous Praetorian Guard and the legendary legions, their enforcer. Few died peacefully in bed.Rome and her emperors were anything but ‘little’, but The Little Book of Roman Emperors packs them all in with a punch – discover both the key players and lesser-known figures behind one of the greatest empires ever known. Full of fascinating insights, this compendium is essential reading for everyone interested in the history of Rome.

Make Believe is his incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children's literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis, he champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure. Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe reads like a letter from one's smartest and funniest friend.

Detské doplňovačky 4 2026 a ľudské telo 2
V tomto čísle Detských doplňovačiek pokračujeme v téme Ľudské telo, ktorej sme sa venovali už pred rokom. Táto téma je veľmi obsiahla, a do jedného čísla sa nám nevošlo všetko to, čo by tam byť malo, i keď redakčný kocúrik Markus robil, čo mu sily a labky stačili. Takže je tu nová porcia skvelých hlavolamov, ktoré si treba vylúštiť, aby ste sa dozvedeli, prečo je pre človeka dôležitý smiech, ako funguje ľudský mozog, čo sú to neuróny a načo sú dobré nervy… a ešte veľa iných, veľmi zaujímavých vecí.
Pomsta je krvavá 1
Lana Myersová prahne po odplate. Čakala a pripravovala sa na ňu desaťročie. Jej niekdajší trýznitelia si myslia, že je dávno mŕtva. Ibaže ona prežila, zmenila si identitu a pustila sa do premyslenej pomsty. Cestu jej skríži špičkový a charizmatický agent FBI Logan Bennett, vyšetrujúci, ako inak, sériové vraždy. Logan netuší, s kým má do činenia, a iskra, ktorá medzi ním a Lanou preskočí, je neodškriepiteľná. Ako sa ich vzájomné puto prehlbuje, v stávke je toho čoraz viac. Začína sa napínavá hra na mačku a myš. Lana sa pokúša zvládnuť novoobjavený cit i vieru v dobro. Zároveň nepoľavuje ani vo svojich plánoch pomsty.
Knižná séria Pomsta je krvavá postupne odkrýva Lanin aj Loganov príbeh. Čitateľov nenechá ani na chvíľu vydýchnuť. Ľahko sa pristihnú pri tom, že brutálnej, no sympatickej Lane – označovanej aj za akúsi ženskú verziu Dextera Morgana – napriek morálnym pochybnostiam držia palce, a príbehom sa dajú strhnúť. Dynamickosť znásobuje striedanie rozprávača po každej kapitole, takže raz vnímame udalosti z Laninho a potom zase z Loganovho pohľadu.
S.T. ABBY je jedným zo pseudonymov americkej spisovateľky Christie Owens. Práve pod týmto aliasom napísala svoju najznámejšiu knižnú sériu Pomsta je krvavá (v angličtine vyšla v roku 2016 pod názvom Mindf*ck Series). Owens zomrela v roku 2021, pričom mala len 37 rokov. Presné okolnosti jej úmrtia neboli zverejnené, čo časť jej fanúšikov dodnes podnecuje k rôznym oficiálne nepodloženým špekuláciám.
Mačkári
Pútavý príbeh o láske, rodine, ktorú si vyberáme sami, a sile vzájomného prepojenia
Núria je baristka, ktorá sa vedome rozhodla pre život bez partnera a odmieta nálepku „bláznivá mačacia pani“. Je členkou organizácieThe Meow-Yorkers v Brooklyne, v ktorej sa stará o túlavé mačky. Počas jednej z dobrovoľníckych obchôdzok po meste, presne tam, kde býva jej obľúbený túlavý Kocúr, nájde lepiaci lístoček od tajného obdivovateľa. Táto situácia sa opakuje. Kocúr je ako väčšina mačiek zvedavý a prefíkaný, takže presne vie, kto tam odkazy necháva. Núria to však netuší.
Je pisateľom lístočkov Collin, úspešný spisovateľ a samotár so slabosťou pre dobrú kávu? Alebo Lily, čerstvá absolventka strednej školy, ktorá pátra po svojej dávno stratenej nevlastnej sestre? Sú od Omara, obľúbeného miestneho poštára, ktorý práve prechádza predčasnou krízou stredného veku? Či od Bonga, majiteľa večierky, ktorý sa vyrovnáva so stratou blízkej osoby? Keď Kocúr náhle ochorie, týchto päť cudzích ľudí spojí túžba postarať sa o neho. Napokon zistia, že náhodné stretnutia môžu viesť k priateľstvám, po akých celý čas túžili.

Spalující touha BD (UHD) - steelbook
Tento film doslova otřásl celou filmovou planetou! Geniální režisér Stanley Kubrick zemřel v době dokončování prvníh sřihových úprav – všichni zúčastnění tedy akceptují pouze tuto verzi jako konečnou. Do kin se tento snímek pro svoji náplň málem nedostal … máte jedinečnou šanci tento titul mít ve své sbírce! Nicole Kidmanová a Tom Cruis hrají hlavní role manželského páru v posledním filmu legendárního amerického režiséra Stanleyho Kubicka. Kubrick jej dokončil doslova v posledních dnech před svou smrtí (což je opředeno dohady o cizích zásazích do jeho konečné podoby, což však představitelé hlavních rolí kategoricky popírají) a nyní by diskutovaný snímek měl konečně po průtazích (o jeho vstupu do tuzemské distribuce se hovořilo již na podzim loňského roku) dorazit i k nám. Hlavními hrdiny tohoto příběhu je manželská dvojice psychiatrů – v podání skutečných partnerů Toma Cruise a Nicol Kidmanové – která si nejen zahýbá, ale ještě k tomu – navzdory profesionální etice – přímo se svými klienty.
