Berger pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective embraces artistic movements and individual artists - from the Renaissance to the present - while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.
Gizmo Riser Vol.1
In the dystopian kingdom of Urunaria, the higher you live, the more you're worth. From the bold mind of Roku Souna - a gripping sci-fi debut where one boy dares to rise against a world built to keep him down. In the towering kingdom of Urunaria, society is literally built on inequality. The wealthiest reside at the top, while the poor are confined to the dark, crumbling depths below. For Kuro, a young slave raised by his uncle in the lowest levels, life offers no future - only labor, loss, and silence. But when his uncle is executed by the state, Kuro inherits a mysterious device: Gizmo - a pair of mechanical gloves with the power to grip, scale, and defy the very system built to crush him. Armed with nothing but this outlawed tool and his burning desire for freedom, Kuro begins his ascent, both up the tower and against a society that deems him worthless. Blending sci-fi action with sharp social commentary, Roko Souna's Gizmo Riser challenges readers to consider the cost of hierarchy and the courage it takes to rise. Perfect for fans of Blame!, Deadman Wonderland, and Made in Abyss, Roku Souna's daring debut delivers explosive worldbuilding, unforgettable visuals, and a hero who refuses to stay in his place.
The Evolution of Fire
"The Evolution of Fire is stunningly written—vivid in imagery, in the braiding together of language, and in the honoring of every person it shines a light on."—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There's Always This YearFrom the celebrated author of Limber, a luminous collection of essays about crisis, hope, and the decision to resist or embrace evolution—a book about time, for our time. Crisis is an agent of evolution, and Angela Pelster knows what it means to evolve. As a child, she burned grass to keep weeds at bay and watched tadpoles transform. She basked in the warmth of her father’s love but was burned by his rage, and she witnessed a sudden, unnamable change occur in her older sister after an encounter with a stranger in a white van. In adulthood, she survived the explosion of her marriage, the destruction of her burning home, and a year spent as the single mother of a toddler without a home of their own. And like us all, she has weathered the upheaval of our current atmosphere—political instability, climate change, mass extinction. But in spite of the world’s violence, Pelster manages to remain open to its beauty, deciding not to resist change, but to give herself over to it and let evolution make her into a new animal. She plumbs the depths of ancestral knowledge to uncover the scale of our ancient capacity for adaptation, from humankind’s early harnessing of fire to the grandmothers responsible for our continued existence. Meditative and curious, pulsing with fascination, fear, and the untamable human spirit, The Evolution of Fire contemplates who we are now and what we still might become.

Andrea Kendal knows what people think—that her brilliant surgeon husband had something to do with his first wife’s bloody disappearance. Sara Batcher has spent years defending herself against accusations that she killed her husband. And Katie Morrow, the community’s youngest trophy wife, can’t escape the suspicious shadows cast by her husband’s ex-wife.

At Home with Blue: Soothing spaces for restful living
Beloved for its tranquil and restorative qualities, the color blue is endlessly versatile in the home. Bestselling author Fifi O’Neill reveals 12 homes that explore the full spectrum of shades. Blues are right at home in any room, whether your style skews country or urban, modern or classic, bold or understated. Every color has an anthology of hues, but finding a soothing red or an energizing grey can be challenging. Blue, however, is a color without limits: from azure to cerulean and from turquoise to ultramarine, there are countless possibilities. It also pairs well with other hues. With white it evokes the laidback charm of a coastal cottage. In a chalky pastel scheme it brings a soft and dreamy feel. And it provides the perfect contrast for bright green, mustard yellow or a pop of red. In the first section of the book, Inspirations, Fifi considers the essential elements of a blue-toned scheme: fabrics and furniture, lighting, accessories, and more. The second section, The Homes, features 12 real homes from Rhode Island to California, arranged in four chapters: Heavenly Blues, Moody Blues, True Blues, and Atmospheric Blues. Each one offers an inspiring take on decorating with this much-loved color.

Nevera. Skutočné príbehy o láske, klamstvách, nádeji a túžbe
Každý piaty človek sa v priebehu svojho života dopustí nevery. Skutočné dôvody, ktoré k nej vedú, sú však často úplne iné, než si predstavujeme. Psychoterapeutka Juliet Rosenfeld vo svojej knihe Nevera odkrýva spleť tajomstiev, lží a skrytých túžob, ktoré sprevádzajú mimomanželské vzťahy. Prostredníctvom piatich dramatických, no úprimne vyrozprávaných príbehov nám ukazuje odvrátenú stranu ľudskej intimity.
Stretávame muža, ktorý dokázal odísť od manželky priamo z pôrodnice za mladou milenkou, aj psychologičku, ktorej profesionálny úsudok zatienila spaľujúca príťažlivosť k pacientovi. Vypočujeme si príbeh chirurga, ktorý riskoval všetko pre svoju Bohyňu, ktorú poznal iba online, aj heterosexuálnu ženu, ktorá podviedla svojho manžela s kolegyňou – a napokon zmenila životy oboch ich rodín.
Juliet Rosenfeld otvára dvere do trinástej komnaty ľudského správania – nevery, ktorá je v spoločnosti tabuizovaná, no v skutočnosti prekvapivo bežná. Autorka ju skúma s empatiou, bez súdenia a bez nánosu hanby. Vďaka kombinácii osobných spovedí, prelomových poznatkov z výskumov a hĺbkovej psychologickej analýzy táto kniha zbúra všetky vaše doterajšie predsudky o tom, čo v skutočnosti znamená byť neverný.

Po roce 1177 př. Kr. - Přežití civilizací
V pokračování své úspěšné knihy se americký archeolog Eric H. Cline znovu vrací ke kolapsu civilizací doby bronzové ve Středomoří a na Předním východě. Tentokrát se soustředí na období následující po zhroucení těchto vyspělých společností. Ukazuje, že i uprostřed chaosu vznikaly zásadní inovace, od rozšíření železa až po nové podoby písma. Na příkladu strategií, které zvolili Asyřané, Egypťané, Féničané a další, přibližuje, proč některé civilizace dokázaly obrovské otřesy přežít, zatímco jiné zcela zanikly.
Twisted Hate – Jules & Josh
Utálja… legalább annyira, mint amennyire kívánja őt. Jóképű, magabiztos, hamarosan menő orvos lesz, ráadásul Josh Chen sose találkozott olyan nővel, aki ellen tudott volna neki állni – kivéve Jules Ambrose.
A gyönyörű, vörös hajú nő az első találkozásuk óta az idegein táncol, miközben senki máshoz foghatóan ragadta meg a képzeletét. Amikor a viszályuk egy felejthetetlen éjszakába torkollik, egy olyan megoldást javasol, amely segítségével végre tovább léphetne: egy ellenségek extrákkal kapcsolatot egyszerű szabályokkal. Nincs féltékenykedés. Nincs elköteleződés. És nincs szerelem. A barátságos és ambiciózus Jules egyetlen célja átmenni az ügyvédi vizsgán. Egyáltalán nincs szüksége egy jóképű doktorra, aki egymaga testesíti meg a kiállhatatlanság fogalmát – még ha rettenetesen dögös is. De ahogy jobban megismeri, rájön, hogy a régóta utált férfi sokkal többet rejt magában. Nem sejthette, hogy ő lesz az ősellensége és az igazi megváltása is.
Kapcsolatuk pokolian indul, és amikor múltjuk démonjai utolérik őket, olyan igazságokkal kell szembenézniük, amelyek vagy megmentik őket… vagy elpusztítanak mindent, amiért eddig dolgoztak. A legjobb barátjának a testvére. Az ősellensége. És az igazi megváltása.
Clivá Okarína
GORAN LENČO – slovenský spisovateľ, básnik a publicista, ktorý sa vo svojej tvorbe venuje najmä fantastike, poézii a literárnej kritike. Čitateľovi prináša svoju novú knihu CLIVÁ OKARÍNA.
Je moderným mýtopoetom. Jeho tvorba nie je o akcii, ale o atmosfére a symboloch. Do slovenskej literatúry prináša kultivovaný, priam „archaicky“ čistý jazyk, ktorý v súčasnej žánrovej literatúre je vzácny. Texty tvorí na rozhraní epiky a lyriky, je to skôr poézia v próze. Prostredníctvom myšlienok napomáha rozumieť svetu tam, kde racionálne myslenie zlyháva.
Dovolím si povedať, že aj táto kniha je súčasťou autorovho prieniku medzi vysokou literatúrou a žánrovou fantastikou. Náročného čitateľa texty oslovia, sú hlbšie s istou dávkou ušľachtilého pohľadu na svet. Knihe želám šťastnú cestu k čitateľovi.
