Smát se nahlas
Po odvážném, vtipném a politicky nekorektním románu Holky z nezisku autoři opět nezklamali. Zatímco pokrokoví novináři uvalili na román klatbu v podobě cancel culture, alternativa román ocenila Krameriovou cenou. Román Smát se nahlas je opět velká provokace.
Myšlenka inscenovat příběh Jaroslava Haška jako divadlo na divadle (byť zde v prozaickém podání) umožňuje ve zjevných i skrytých paralelách konfrontovat dva světy, mezi nimiž sice leží více než sto let, ale jejichž podobnost je – zvláště dnes – až zarážející. Jaroslav Hašek je nejpřekládanější prozaik na světě. To ovšem není pro současný establishment překážkou, aby si ho okázale nevážil, a aby jeho dílo velkolepě ignoroval. Jaroslav Hašek nedostal nikdy žádnou literární cenu, a nikdy ho žádný český president neocenil ani in memoriam, byť ve světovém měřítku patří k neopomenutelným Čechům. Ačkoliv od jeho smrti letos (2023) uplynulo sto let a od jeho narození sto čtyřicet let, oficiálně je zapomenut anebo žije pouze v podobě drobných, většinou groteskních střípků, často zavádějící povahy. Svým způsobem k tomu přispěla i kinematografie. Snad s výjimkou filmu Velká cesta (Jaroslava Haška zde skvěle hrál tehdy třiadvacetiletý Josef Abrhám), kdy to musel být ruský režisér Jurij Ozerov, kdo pochopil sílu Haškova rebelství. Jak píše autor: „Sílu nejpřekládanějšího prozaika na světě, který naučil Čechy, Slováky, Němce, Rakušany, Američany, Rusy, Číňany… jak si od systému nenechat přerazit páteř a zároveň ho zdestruovat svým souhlasem. Haškův život, to je zosobnění tématu jedinec versus systém.“
Nejsem si jist, zda by se dnes hry o Haškovi nějaké divadlo ujalo… A zda by se opravdu u jeho bran neobjevili nějací ti náhle probuzení aktivisté, kteří by rychle vyškrtali ze hry vše, co je necitlivé a urážející. Woke – kvok. Právě proto, že nemůžeme spoléhat na divadlo, oceňuji skutečnost, že máme k dispozici tuto beletrizovanou podobu díla o spisovateli, jehož Švejk opravdu není kvintesencí Ladova idylického obrázku, ale nezničitelným rebelem belmondovského typu.

ONE GIRL AND A GRIFFIN AGAINST AN EMPIRE: A DYING LAND The Shima Imperium verges on collapse. Land and sky have been poisoned by clockwork industrialisation, the Lotus Guild oppresses the populace and the nation's Shogun is lost to his thirst for power. AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST Yukiko and her warrior father are forced to hunt down a griffin at the Shogun's command. But any fool knows griffins are extinct -- and death will be the price of failure. A HIDDEN GIFT Disaster strikes and Yukiko is stranded in the wilderness with a fabled griffin, now furious and crippled. Although she hears his thoughts and saved his life, Yukiko knows he'd rather see her dead than help her. And discovery of the talent allowing them to communicate would mean her execution. Yet together, the pair will form an indomitable bond, and rise to challenge an empire. 'Mythic creatures, civil unrest, and a strong female protagonist? I'm afraid I missed everything you said after "Japanese Steampunk." That's all I really needed to hear' Patrick Rothfuss, 'Rocketing action, eccentric and convincing characters ...I'll be waiting for more from Mr Kristoff' K.W. Jeter

The King James Version of the Bible
The King James Version (KJV), also known as the King James Bible (KJB) or simply the Authorized Version (AV), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, was commissioned in 1603 and completed as well as published in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI and I. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Version has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world. It was first printed by John Norton & Robert Barker, both the King's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities: The first had been the Great Bible, commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII (1535), and the second had been the Bishops' Bible, commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1568). In Geneva, Switzerland the first generation of Protestant Reformers had produced the Geneva Bible of 1560 from the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures, which was influential in the writing of the Authorized King James Version. In January 1604, King James convened the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, a faction of the Church of England. James gave the translators instructions intended to ensure that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of, and reflect the episcopal structure of, the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 6 panels of translators (47 men in all, most of whom were leading biblical scholars in England) who had the work divided up between them: the Old Testament was entrusted to three panels, the New Testament to two, and the Apocrypha to one. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale's Great Bible version), and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and English Protestant churches, except for the Psalms and some short passages in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English-speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford, and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualified title "King James Version" usually indicates this Oxford standard text.

Lacná kniha V Mitfordu je nejlíp (-90%)
Pravda, ten poznávací zájezd do země Timových předků se moc nevydařil. Kde jinde se tedy zotavit a nabrat síly než ve známém prostředí domova – v bezpečném Mitfordu, kde už na Tima a Cynthii čeká nejen pes Barnabáš a kočka Violeta, ale i všichni staří přátelé a známí. Není však všechno tak poklidné a růžové, jak by se mohlo zdát. Hned po návratu Tima čeká nemilá zpráva: jeho dlouholetý přítel a rodinný lékař Hoppy Harper se rozhodl odejít za prací do Jižního Súdánu. Timův adoptivní syn Dooley řeší závažné dilema, zda dát přednost vztahu s krásnou a nadanou Lace Turnerovou, nebo svému snu stát se uznávaným veterinářem. Ani sympatická majitelka knihkupectví Hope Murphyová nemá na růžích ustláno, určité napětí panuje i mezi Dooleyho sourozenci a jejich matkou. Přesto se čtenáři jistě rádi vrátí do onoho vlídného městečka, po němž se jim už nepochybně stýskalo. Nyní se mohou těšit, že prožijí s našimi hrdiny i s často komickými vedlejšími postavičkami nejednu šťastnou chvíli.

Bratrovrazi
„Chce prý být svobodný. Zabijte ho“ Toto je příběh a život malého velkého hrdiny.
Ačkoli Kazantzakisův román Bratrovrazi patří k jeho méně známým dílům, zralostí, významem, a hlavně nadčasovostí se vyrovná těm ostatním. Autor, v hloubi duše pacifista, přibližuje čtenáři střet znepřátelených stran za občanské války v Řecku (1946–1949) z jiného úhlu pohledu, přičemž užívá neobvyklé literární prostředky. Uprostřed událostí stojí bezelstný, lidsky přirozený, nezávislý kněz, který se snaží nalézt odpověď na otázku, na čí straně je právo. Vyvíjí obrovské úsilí usmířit obě strany a zastavit zbytečné krveprolití. Vede nekonečný dialog s Bohem a zároveň se dovolává jeho pomoci. Marně. Poté, co v jeho farnosti dojde k nevyhnutelné tragédii, za niž cítí osobní vinu, zoufalý odchází do světa s posláním hlásat mír a usmíření mezi všemi lidmi... Nalezne je, či ne?
Občanská válka představuje pro jakýkoli národ jednu z největších pohrom. Bratr bojuje proti bratrovi. Málokdo má v sobě takovou vnitřní sílu, aby se stal „malým velkým hrdinou“, jako naše ústřední postava, a postavil se proti všem.

Me vs Brain
Brain: We left the oven on!
Me: No don't say that, I've not got time for this!
Brain: The house is probably on fire!
Me: Stop it, I need to write this book description.
Brain: But the blazing fire.
Me: We didn't even use the oven today.
Brain: But what if -
Me: No. We're not doing this, I'm finishing this description.
Hello there! Hayley Morris here. Or you might know me as the Brain Girl, and don't be fooled...it's not because I'm outrageously smart. Just an avid overthinker. I'm on a mission to prove once and for all that You. Are. Normal. Running through imaginary arguments whilst showering, hiding your knickers in the nurse's office before they look directly into your vagina, or not knowing how to be a normal human when you have the plumber over. I've spent the majority of my life saying and doing embarrassing things that wake me up in a cold sweat at 3am as my Brain reminds me of every minor detail.
In this book, I've overthought absolutely everything so you don't have to. I'll be talking about everything from dating to discharge, mental health to menstrual cups. I might not be able to banish your anxiety or make you feel 100% comfortable in your skin, but I hope I can at least give you a break from the constant brain chatter and we can rejoice and laugh at how similar we actually all are.
DON'T OVERTHINK IT. ORDER NOW.
The Power of Regret : How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward
'No regrets.' You've heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That's nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They're a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.
In The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own World Regret Survey - which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries - he identifies the four core regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues, operate as a 'photographic negative' of the good life. By understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based, three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets in a positive force for working smarter and living better.
With Pink's signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways, captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.
