Francisci
Francisci nebol iba národný buditeľ, politik, básnik, publicista, redaktor, vydavateľ, zberateľ ľudovej slovesnosti, zakladateľ a funkcionár Matice slovenskej, organizátor a predseda slovenského národného zhromaždenia, organizátor slovenského peňažníctva (spoluzakladateľ Tatra banky, člen direktória martinskej Sporiteľne), predseda Kníhtlačiarskeho účastinného spolku, ale bol aj jedným z troch sokolov, bol orlom, a bola aj hrdlička či páva.
Román o Franciscim je aj o jeho citoch a vzťahoch, aj o nenaplnenej láske k Aničke Jurkovičovej, herečke, priekopníčke slovenského divadla.Pod silným vplyvom Ľudovíta Štúra, ktorý od svojich stúpencov žiadal, aby nevstupovali do manželstva, lebo len slobodný muž má voľné ruky v horlivom boji za slobodu, váhal a „hľadal faru“, a medzitým si Aničkino srdce získal Jozef Miloslav Hurban. Francisci si takmer zúfal, ale napokon aj Anička, aj Janíčko sa vydali na vlastné cesty životom. No osud chcel, aby napokon ešte obaja prežili sedemnásť rokov v Turčianskom Svätom Martine. A aby tu zomreli, tridsaťtri dni jeden po druhom... Román Francisci je príbehom bývalého veľžupana Liptovskej stolice, vysokého štátneho úradníka, držiteľa Radu svätej Anny III. triedy či Štúrovho spolupracovníka, ale aj muža s bohatým vnútorným životom a veľkým srdcom, ktoré vždy bilo najmä za slovenský národ. Aj keď on väčšmi ako iní nasledoval Štúra v odriekaní sa od osobných slastí, na martinskom Národnom cintoríne odpočíva Ján Francisci neďaleko svojej veľkej lásky Anny Hurbanovej, rodenej Jurkovičovej...

Papež František
Knižní rozhovor představuje současného papeže Františka v době, kdy byl ještě buenosaireským kardinálem. Je z něj patrné, že názory a postoje, kterými jako papež oslovil celý svět, zastával už mnohem dříve a že neodlučitelně patří k jeho osobnosti. Vedle vzpomínek na dětství a mládí hovoří Jorge Bergoglio velmi otevřeně o svém pohledu na poslání církve v moderním světě, o svém jednání v době vojenské diktatury v Argentině, vyjadřuje se k otázkám utrpení, viny i odpuštění, stejně jako mluví o naději a výzvách budoucnosti. Rozhovor, který s ním vedli novináři Sergio Rubín a Francesca Ambrogetti, překvapí svou laskavostí, spontánností, ale i hloubkou a jednoznačností určitých postojů a ukazuje mravní i hodnotovou integritu současného papeže.

Francesca Woodman
This volume analyzes, from a new and innovative point of view, the life and works of Francesca Woodman through the photographs and writings that belong to her Roman sojourn.A precocious artist, a border-line personality between the American culture and the Italian culture, Francesca Woodman reaches the acme of her artistic parable in Rome that, to her, is the place and the moment where her aesthetics and style are developed to the fullest. By tracing back the author's Roman itineraries and by gathering the stories told by her friends, this study reconstructs Woodman's most significant encounters that happened between the Maldoror bookshop in Via del Parione and the ateliers of the Nuova Scuola Romana at the ex Pastificio Cerere in San Lorenzo.Through the writings and accounts recorded over a long period of research, this book highlights the echoes and references to Surrealism that can be found in Francesca Woodman's photos; her use of the body as a proper language; and the topic of the metamorphosis as a sequel of life, where death is no longer seen as a final lap. In her pictures the observer discretely approaches the images and timidly takes part in the private and precious conversation that takes place inside each shot.This essay shows a new and intimate side of this great photographer, taking the reader by the hand through an intimate journey where words and images intertwine to trace the contours of Francesca Woodman's universe.Isabella Pedicini was born in Benevento, Italy, in 1983. A journalist and a writer, she moved to Rome where she graduated, first with a BA and then with an MA, in art history at La Sapienza University. She collaborates on a regular basis with the gallery book shop "Il Museo del Louvre" and she writes for "Artribune," a magazine of contemporary art.

Ghosts of Harvard
Cadence Archer arrives on Harvard's campus desperate to understand why her brother, Eric, a genius who developed paranoid schizophrenia took his own life there the year before. Losing Eric has left a black hole in Cady's life, and while her decision to follow in her brother's footsteps threatens to break her family apart, she is haunted by questions of what she might have missed. And there's only one place to find answers. As Cady struggles under the enormous pressure at Harvard, she investigates her brother's final year, armed only with a blue notebook of Eric's cryptic scribblings. She knew he had been struggling with paranoia, delusions, and illusory enemies--but what tipped him over the edge? Voices fill her head, seemingly belonging to three ghosts who passed through the university in life, or death, and whose voices, dreams, and terrors still echo the halls. Among them is a person whose name has been buried for centuries, and another whose name mankind will never forget. Does she share Eric's illness, or is she tapping into something else? Cady doesn't know how or why these ghosts are contacting her, but as she is drawn deeper into their worlds, she believes they're moving her closer to the truth about Eric, even as keeping them secret isolates her further. Will listening to these voices lead her to the one voice she craves--her brother's--or will she follow them down a path to her own destruction?

Rebel Talent
'Great stories, great science, and great practical advice about how, when, and why to break the rules' - Angela Duckworth, international bestselling author of Grit.
Do you want to follow a script - or write your own story?
Award-winning Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino shows us why the most successful among us break the rules, and how rebellion brings joy and meaning into our lives.
Rebels have a bad reputation. We think of them as troublemakers, outcasts, contrarians: those colleagues, friends, and family members who complicate seemingly straightforward decisions, create chaos, and disagree when everyone else is in agreement. But in truth, rebels are also those among us who change the world for the better with their unconventional outlooks. Instead of clinging to what is safe and familiar, and falling back on routines and tradition, rebels defy the status quo. They are masters of innovation and reinvention, and they have a lot to teach us.
Francesca Gino, a behavioral scientist and professor at Harvard Business School, has spent more than a decade studying rebels at organizations around the world, from high-end boutiques in Italy's fashion capital, to the World's Best Restaurant, to a thriving fast food chain, to an award-winning computer animation studio. In her work, she has identified leaders and employees who exemplify "rebel talent," and whose examples we can all learn to embrace.
Gino argues that the future belongs to the rebel - and that there's a rebel in each of us. We live in turbulent times, when competition is fierce, reputations are easily tarnished on social media, and the world is more divided than ever before. In this cutthroat environment, cultivating rebel talent is what allows businesses to evolve and to prosper. And rebellion has an added benefit beyond the workplace: it leads to a more vital, engaged, and fulfilling life.
Whether you want to inspire others to action, build a business, or build more meaningful relationships, Rebel Talent will show you how to succeed - by breaking all the rules.
Vzbura anjelov
Odkiaľ pochádza zlo prítomné vo svete, okolo nás a v každom z nás?
Kto je jeho pôvodcom?
Ako a kedy sa začalo?
Ako sa šíri?
Dá sa mu predísť?
Je možné ho odmietnuť a premôcť?
Autor exorcista nám pripomína učenie Cirkvi: Pôvod zla je v bytosti čisto duchovnej, ktorá sa nazýva satan alebo diabol, a v nespočetnom množstve anjelských duchov, ktorí sa vzbúrili vo svojej službe a nazývajú sa démoni.
Prečo sa ten, ktorému na začiatku patrilo prvé miesto a bol najkrajší a najžiarivejší spomedzi všetkých anjelov, slobodne a neodvolateľne postavil proti nesmiernej Božej láske? Strhol so sebou aj ďalších anjelov a spustil tak utrpenie bez konca a všetko jestvujúce zlo vo svete.
Autor nám ponúka bohatý a fascinujúci materiál, ktorý dáva odpovede na tieto otázky. Kniha obohatí čitateľov a povzbudí ich k osobnej meditácii o tajomstve zla. Umožní im otvoriť sa realite, ktorej hranice sú oveľa širšie, než sme schopní vnímať zmyslami.
Kniha je cirkevne schválená.
Nebezpečenstvo mágie
Prečo sa ľudia, dokonca aj praktizujúci katolíci, uchyľujú k mágii? Čo ich núti vynaložiť velké sumy peňazí na rady veštcov alebo pomoc ľudových liečiteľov? Kniha Nebezpečenstvo mágie prostredníctvom svedectiev osôb, ktoré sa chytili do pasce týchto podvodníkov, dáva poučenie, ako sa oslobodiť od povier a účinne sa pred nimi chrániť.
Žiť pravdivý život viery je neustály boj, na ktorý sa treba dobre pripraviť. V tejto knihe zápasia medzi sebou Cirkev a mágia, viera a povera, sviatosti a magické rituály. Autor vovádza čitateľa do hlbšieho poznania modlárstva, alternatívnej medicíny, astrológie, kartárstva, talizmanov a okultných praktík. Ako kňaz a exorcista zároveň ponúka návod na pastorálnu pomoc tým ľuďom, ktorí sa zaplietli do vábivých osídel novodobých mágov.
