A richly illustrated publication that explores the networks of contacts and exchanges spanning Afro-Eurasia from 500 to 1000 ce, highlighting how the movement of people, objects and ideas shaped cultures and histories. The term ‘Silk Road’ conjures a range of romantic images. Camel caravans crossing desert dunes. Merchants trading silk and spices. Far-flung commerce between ‘East’ and ‘West’. The reality was far richer. Focusing on a defining period between 500 and 1000 CE, this beautifully illustrated book reimagines the Silk Roads as a web of interlocking networks linking Asia, Africa and Europe, from Japan to Ireland, from the Arctic to Madagascar. It tells a remarkable story of people, objects and ideas flowing in all directions, through the traces these journeys left behind – including ceramics from Tang China recovered from a shipwreck in the Java Sea, sword-fittings set with Indian garnets buried in England, and a selection of letters and legal texts from a synagogue in Cairo revealing a Jewish community’s links from India to al-Andalus. Woven throughout, encounters with various peoples active on the Silk Roads, from seafarers to Sogdians, Aksumites and Vikings, reveal the human stories, innovations and transfers of knowledge that emerged, shaping cultures and histories across continents centuries before the formation of today’s globalised world.

Tentokrát Bublina odhaľuje čitateľom tajomstvá štyroch elementov, ktoré tvoria podstatu života na našej planéte. Témou sú živly. Hoci v nás môžu vzbudzovať rešpekt, ak oheň, vodu, vzduch a zem vnímame citlivo a s porozumením, stávajú sa pre ľudstvo nenahraditeľnými pomocníkmi a spoločníkmi. V tomto čísle nájdete okrem dôležitých informácií aj množstvo zaujímavostí. Dozviete sa napríklad, ako sa zvieratám žije v extrémnych prírodných podmienkach, ako sa dá vietor premeniť na elektrickú energiu, čo robiť počas búrky a ako vzniká piesok. So živlami môže byť aj zábava – či už pri jednoduchých detských hrách, alebo adrenalínových športoch. V príbehu zo starovekého Grécka zistíte, ako ľudia v minulosti vnímali oheň, vodu, vzduch a zem. Pozrieme sa na ne aj v prenesených významoch. Niekto má oheň v srdci, iný zas vietor vo vlasoch. Ktoré dieťa nikdy nedostalo od dospelých prezývku „živel“ alebo „živelná pohroma“? Nech hodí kameňom! Duška a Luška by o tom vedeli svoje. Nech sa páči, pustime sa spolu do toho!

Antologie tajemných i mrazivých povídek z prostředí venkova a odlehlých samot. Jedenáct českých spisovatelů si dalo záležet, aby o napětí nebyla nouze – ať už vycházeli z folklóru, nebo třeba z policejní praxe. Představa poklidné vísky nebo mlýna může budit dojem bezpečí. Ale kdo někdy zůstal za tmy sám v odlehlém stavení, ten možná poznal plíživý strach, který zakoušely generace před ním. A tuší, že stačí pouhá souhra okolností, aby se venkovská idyla proměnila v noční můru.
