War on Wheels
The strange and thrilling world of Japanese track racing - a cycling and betting culture unlike anything else on earth
The Olympic cycling sport of keirin was invented in Japan more than 70 years ago to raise money to rebuild the country after World War II. Now, fans bet billions of dollars a year on races, with the top riders earning huge sums.
In each race, a pacemaker leads nine riders around huge concrete velodromes, then leaves the track with around a lap and a half to go - the cue for a frantic finish as the competitors reach speeds of up to 70 kph. Along the way they block and shove each other, clash heads and occasionally crash (the two Japanese characters used to write keirin mean 'battle' and 'wheel'). To prevent race fixing, the cyclists spend meets living in dorms, with no access to online technology. Their lives are ruled by ritual and fierce competition, from their rookie days at the Japan Keirin School near Mount Fuji to the annual Grand Prix final, whose winner takes home prize money of almost one million dollars.
A small number of foreign riders are invited to compete in Japan every year and some, like Shane Perkins, have overcome culture shock to prosper in the home of keirin.
Justin McCurry, the Guardian's Japan and Korea correspondent, explores a blue-collar Japan we rarely see and a uniquely fascinating sporting culture.

Jane Campion on Jane Campion
A chronological overview of one of modern cinema’s most celebrated directors, featuring interviews with Jane Campion herself.
Awarded Best Cinema Album by the French Syndicate of Film Critics.
Jane Campion on Jane Campion offers a unique perspective on the creative process of one of cinema’s greatest contemporary film directors. Through a series of interviews beginning in the early days of Campion’s career and conducted by award-winning cinema historian Michel Ciment, each chapter contains the study of a film, starting with the short films that Campion made during her studies at the Australian Film Television and Radio School, then moving through the Academy Award–winning The Piano, The Portrait of a Lady, Holy Smoke, In the Cut, Bright Star, the TV series Top of the Lake, and ending with the Academy Award–winning The Power of the Dog.
Organized chronologically, film by film, the interviews are illustrated with film stills and photographs taken on set, as well as with annotated scripts, storyboards, and personal documents lent by Campion. The book also reproduces three short stories and a text about the poet John Keats written by the director, along with actress Holly Hunter’s “Scattered Memories” of their collaborations on The Piano and Top of the Lake. A detailed bibliography and filmography of the filmmaker complete this volume, which contains more than 300 color and black-and-white illustrations.
War on Peace
US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America's place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America's deals and protect its citizens around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We're becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.
In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth-Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them-acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.
Drawing on recently unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with whistle-blowers, a warlord, and policymakers-including every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson-and now updated with revealing firsthand accounts from inside Donald Trump's confrontations with diplomats during his impeachment and candid testimonials from officials in Joe Biden's inner circle, War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice-but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.
Vágymágusok 1: Álruhában
Lehet barátság férfi és nő között?
Szépvölgyi Rianna egy eldugott völgy grófkisasszonya, aki bogaras atyjával és zenész ikeröccsével él. Rianna férfiruhában van, amikor balszerencséjére találkozik Ras parancsnokkal, aki a hazaérkező hírhedt Kartal hercegnek gyűjt katonákat. Riannát összecseréli az ikertestvérével, és magával viszi. Ha rájönnek, hogy Rianna lány, kiirthatják felségárulásért a családját.
Vajon sikerül visszacserélnie magát, mielőtt lelepleződik?
De mit tegyen addig a férfiasan vonzó Ras, a magát mutogató jóképű Mort és a vad Lidérc közelében, ha a mágiája csalogatja a férfiakat? Míg a hercegre várnak, valaki vadászni kezd a csapatra. Rianna nem számíthat másra, csak az eszére, és egy hajmeresztő szövetségesre,
miközben őket lesi a természet, ami hol a halálukat akarja, hol pedig illetlenül valami mást.
"...amikor reggelente álmosan felnézel a tornyokra vagy megcirógatod a falat, az ember azt kívánja, bárcsak ő lenne a kezed alatt."
Éld át izgalmas és mágikusan érzéki kalandjait!

Lacná kniha On Freedom (-70%)
So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing "practices of freedom" by which we negotiate our interrelation with-indeed, our inseparability from-others, with all the care and constraint that relation entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion.
For Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture-from recent art world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis-is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company. On Freedom is an invigorating, essential book for challenging times.

Placebo On
Prvý diel knižnej trilógie vám rozpovie príbeh mladej Emy inšpirovaný skutočným životom.
Po tom, čo prežila v pestúnskej rodine, ju prenasledovali strašidelné nočné mory. Emina túžba vymaniť sa dávnym démonom však bola silnejšia. S vidinou nového začiatku sa presťahovala do iného mesta, kde si našla prácu, získala priateľov a otvorila dvere do vysneného života bez paranojí a večného otáčania sa cez rameno. Vyhliadky na lepšiu budúcnosť boli na dosah. Do života jej však vstúpil ON. Podmanivý, cieľavedomý, ale i trochu záhadný Christopher, ktorý sám ukrýva nejedno bolestivé tajomstvo. Dokážu sa s Emou navzájom vyliečiť a preniesť sa z tmavých hlbín minulosti? Alebo to bude len klamlivý a krátkodobý placebo efekt?
V príbehu Placebo nie je nič tak, ako to na prvý pohľad vyzerá. Sledujte životné situácie, kde strach pomáha rásť, bolesť dodáva odvahu, slzy očisťujú, nenávisť mení, predsudky spájajú a láska lieči.

Otto Šimánek - Pan Tau… a nejen on
Pan Tau. První, co se vám vybaví při vyslovení jména Otto Šimánek. Jako kdyby tento nadmíru nadaný a pracovitý herec neztvárnil nikoho jiného!
Tato postava se stala jeho osudem i prokletím. Díky ní se stal populárním, ale také kvůli ní zapadly všechny jeho další role. A že jich bylo! Třeba továrník Keletti v nestárnoucím snímku „Pane, vy jste vdova!“, pan White ve sci-fi komedii Zítra vstanu a opařím se čajem, pohádkový Dlouhý v seriálu Arabela nebo nepřekonatelný mim Deburau v Největším z Pierotů, kterého František Kožík podle své knihy zdramatizoval právě pro Šimánka. A to nezmiňujeme jeho skvělé a dlouholeté účinkování na divadle, v dabingu a v rozhlase…
Herec, který ve většině svých rolí rozdával radost a smích, byl však ve skutečnosti mužem melancholickým, nesmělým a neustále pochybujícím o svém herectví. Nikdy se nikam netlačil, vždy stál raději skromně stranou. I proto se leckdy dočkal ústrků… a ran osudu, které bychom mohli označit za podpásové.
O tom všem – stejně jako o spoustě málo známých skutečností, které jsou spjaty s tímto nezapomenutelným, usměvavým, ale stále trochu posmutnělým hercem – se dočtete v této až dosud první biografii, která je mu věnována.
