Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku
"Nikdy som nebol chorý na pľúca, no nečakane, asi tak v auguste, som na Občianskej plavárni vypľul čosi červené. Chvíľu som sa na to pozeral, no vzápätí som na to zabudol", píše Franz Kafka v liste Milene Jesenskej.
Kto bol Franz Kafka, spisovateľ, ktorý ovplyvnil literatúru 20. storočia? Prečo boli Tatranské Matliare pre neho také dôležité? Prečo musel zomrieť taký mladý? To všetko sa dozviete v knihe autorov, doplnenej medzníkmi života Franza Kafku a mnohými neznámymi fotografiami, ktoré nemajú iba literárne historický pohľad.
Táto kniha je rozšíreným vydaním knihy Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku; Vplyv choroby na jeho literárnu tvorbu z roku 2017. Jej prvým autorom bol profesor vnútorného lekárstva, ktorý sa pokúsil spojiť medicínu so svetovou literatúrou, ktorej sa intenzívne venoval od študentských čias po celý svoj život. Mal veľký záujem o literárne diela Franza Kafku, o vtedajšie možnosti liečby tuberkulózy pľúc v jednotlivých sanatóriách, cez ktoré nás táto kniha sprevádza. So spoluautorkou osobne navštívil mnohé miesta, kde Franz Kafka býval, o čom svedčí autentická fotodokumentácia. Z literárneho hľadiska sa zameral na vplyv choroby na Kafkovu literárnu tvorbu, ktorý sa postupujúcou chorobou prehlboval.
"I've never had any lungs disease, but unexpectedly, on an August day, I spit out something red at the "Civic Swimming Pool". I was looking at it for a while, but then I forgot about it ", wrote Franz Kafka in a letter to Milena Jesenská.
Who was Franz Kafka, the writer who influenced 20th century literature? Why was Tatranské Matliare so important to him? Why did he have to die so young? You will learn all of this in the authors' book supplemented by the milestones of Franz Kafka' s life and many hitherto unknown photographs, that are not just of literary-historical significance.
This book is an extended edition of the book Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Lung Tuberculosis of Franz Kafka; The Impact of the Disease on His Literary Work published in 2017. Its first author was a professor of internal medicine who tried to connect medicine with world literature, which he was intensively interested in from student times throughout his life. He was profoundly interested in the literary works by Franz Kafka, in the contemporaneous possibilities of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in individual sanatoriums, through which this book accompanies us. Together with the co-author, he personally visited many places where Franz Kafka used to live, as evidenced by authentic photo documentation. From the literary point of view, he focused on the influence of the disease on Kafka's literary work that was deepening with the disease progressing.
How Did We Get Into This Mess?
Where have we gone wrong, and what can we do about it?
George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do.
While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.

Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut
In space the sun rises and sets 16 times a day. You fly over every sea, every mountain and desert, every city and every port. The most ordinary things -- eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth or cutting your hair -- have to be relearned, until they become familiar again. This is the story of Samantha Cristoforetti's incredible journey to becoming an astronaut, and her journey beyond Earth.
Her voyage as an apprentice astronaut began when she was in her early thirties: five years of intense training around the world, from Houston to Japan to the legendary Star City in Russia. Countless hours spent in centrifuges, spaceship simulators and under water for spacewalk practice. Then, one day, a rocket was waiting for her on the launch pad. And after eight minutes of wild ascent, she was on orbit, crunched up with her two crewmates in a tiny spaceship that took them to the International Space Station.
With honesty and warmth, Cristoforetti chronicles the two hundred days she spent on the ISS, the joys and challenges of being in an extraordinary place, from the sublime sight of seeing Earth for the first time to more unusual concerns, such as mastering the art of floating. How do you find your bearings when there is no up and down? What is it like to run in weightlessness? And how do you cook in space?
This is an enthralling, inspiring and surprisingly down-to-earth story about what it really takes to pursue your dreams.

Osud jim dal šanci milovat tak, že štěstí a zármutek toho druhého byly i jejich štěstím a zármutkem. Prožívali velká milostná dramata. Láska je povznesla k nebesům. Láska je srazila do prachu země. Navzdory tomu byli šťastni. Prožili totiž vpravdě osudové vztahy, které jsou vlastní výjimečným a citově bohatým lidem. Jedinečné lásky, jež překonávají všechny nástrahy času. Inspirují a nepřestávají fascinovat.
Kniha Osudové lásky může být pro mnohé čtenáře Stanislava Motla překvapující. Autor tu vstupuje, obrazně řečeno, do pro něj zdánlivě netypického romantického světa slavných i zapomenutých mužů a žen, kteří prožívali milostná dramata, vzestupy i pády. I tentokrát však zůstává věrný své osvědčené metodě a způsobu práce: Opět jsem se mohl ponořit do archivů, hledat dosud neznámé dokumenty, jezdit na místa, kde se dávné příběhy odehrávaly, a třeba i hledat zasvěcené lidi, někdy i potomky pamětníků, hledat nové informace, nové souvislosti (z úvodu knihy)
Publikace, která vznikla na základě stejnojmenného dokumentárního cyklu České televize, je doplněna více než dvěma stovkami fotografií a dokumentů.

I Wanna Be An Influencer (Bilingual edition)
I wanna be an Influencer is a photographic journey that maps out the new geography of places based on the choices of influencers, a social category that has become an undisputed reference point over the last decade for marketing any type of product, from clothing to cosmetics, travel and new destinations.
The author particularly reflects on one of the aspects that characterizes tourism in the time of Instagram. Destinations that are already well-known or completely unknown become sought-after, inducing a mass of aspiring influencers to adopt the same poses and behaviour because and as long as they are Instagrammable.
A kaleidoscope of images, taken behind the scenes of a real community that aims for the immediate sharing of experiences in old and new "elsewheres" and of places whose meaning has changed. Unlikely poses and daring shots are captured by the author's attentive and amused eye. The photographs are accompanied by texts by experts in the field (Beatrice Avallone, Vincenzo Nocifora, Benedetta Donato), who analyse a phenomenon of our time, which we witness daily on the social network Instagram.
The Kiss Curse
Magic doesn't always play by the rules.
Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She's formed a powerful new coven with her family; she's running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she's mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there's only one problem - Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow.
Wells has come to Graves Glen for two reasons: to re-establish his family's connection to the town and to make a new life for himself away from his father. But when he opens a magic shop of his own just across the street from Gwyn's, he quickly learns that going up against her won't be as easy as he thought . . . especially after an accidentally magic-inspired - and very hot - kiss.
While Gwyn and Wells are fully committed to their witchy rivalry, they soon find themselves thrown together once again to deal with the sudden appearance of a mysterious new coven and Gwyn's growing concern that something - or someone - is messing with her magic . . .
Regények I.
A kötet művei abban hasonlítanak egymásra, hogy az író páratlanul gazdag fantáziájának termékei. Az Utazás Faremidóba csillagközi géplények világába kalauzol, a nemlétező tökéletes ember képét mutatja föl, s a tökéletesség tükrében teszi nevetségessé az ember, a Föld téveszméit, ostobaságát. A Capillária szürrealisztikus tenger alatti tájakra vezet, az oihák és a bullokok országába, s e medúzákhoz közeli, lidérces környezetben a 20. századi férfi és nő viszonyának képtelenségeit karikírozza. Az ezerarcú lélek és a Kötéltánc a misztikus titokzatosság művei. Hőse mágikus erővel megvert ember, aki nemcsak alakját tudja megváltoztatni, hanem gondolata erejével gyógyít vagy gyilkol.
