Rómski kováči na Slovensku / Roma Blacksmith in Slovakia
Nová publikácia z edície Tradícia dnes prináša celistvý, doteraz nepublikovaný pohľad na kováčstvo Rómov na Slovensku v kontexte ich etnokultúrneho vývoja s reflektovaním podôb a špecifík materiálnej zložky (pracovné postupy, výrobky) i spoločenskej stránky (postavenie kováčov v spoločenstvách Rómov i z pohľadu nerómskych obyvateľov) tohto zamestnania. Kováčske remeslo (i hudobníctvo) vykonávané Rómami sa stretli so záujmom majoritného obyvateľstva a umožnili Rómom v priebehu 16.-18. storočia prejsť na trvalo usadlý spôsob života. V tom spočíva výnimočný význam tohto remesla ako pre Rómov, tak aj pre majoritné obyvateľstvo. Technológiu spracovania kovov si priniesli Rómovia z indickej pravlasti. Svedčia o tom prvky v technológii práce (napr. kovanie na zemi) i používané nástroje (napr. dvojica kožených mechov), ktoré dodnes v Indii používajú predpokladaní príbuzní európskych Rómov. Rómski kováči sa zameriavali na produkciu výrobkov, ktoré nevyrábali miestni nerómski kováči a preto nedochádzalo ku konkurencii. Do polovice 20. storočia to boli predovšetkým šindľové, krokvové, podkovové, železničné klince, nástroje pre roľníkov (okovanie pluhov, reťaze, sekery a i.), debnárov, vareškárov, stolárov, kolárov, šindliarov i predmety do domácnosti (nože, sekáče, trojnožky, ocieľky na nietenie ohňa, pasce na chytanie zvierat a pod.). Na príklade folklóru (piesne, príslovia) autor ukazuje, že rómski kováči boli vážení tak príslušníkmi svojej komunity, ako aj zo strany majoritného obyvateľstva. Publikácia sleduje vývoj kováčstva Rómov aj od polovice 20. storočia, kedy lacné fabrické výrobky utlmili záujem o výrobky kováčov a preto rómski kováči udržiavali svoje remeslo vytváraním kováčskych dielní, neskôr zameraním sa na umelecké kováčstvo.

Moderné macochy
V dnešnej dobe, keď mnohé rodiny vznikajú spojením partnerov s deťmi z predchádzajúcich vzťahov, táto kniha otvára dvere do životov tých „druhých“ žien. Žien, ktoré sa stávajú „novodobými macochami“, minimálne počas víkendov.
Autorka spolu s odborníčkami ako psychologička, terapeutka, advokátka, mediátorka, etnologička a behaviorálny vedec vytvára fascinujúci obraz o tom, čo to znamená byť macochou v 21. storočí.
Kniha prináša aj príbehy skutočných žien, ich výzvy, radosti, ale aj starosti a boje pri budovaní vzťahov s deťmi svojich partnerov, ako aj s ich bývalými partnermi a manželkami.
Zameriava sa na búranie stereotypov a predsudkov spojených s pojmom macocha a ukazuje, že neexistuje jednotný návod, ako byť dobrá macocha. Namiesto toho povzbudzuje čitateľky, aby aktívne formovali svoje vlastné pochopenie tejto úlohy, s dôrazom na toleranciu a otvorenosť.
Kniha je napísaná tak, aby sa čitateľka cítila ako pri rozhovore s blízkou priateľkou, ktorá ponúka podporu a porozumenie. Je to výborný sprievodca pre každú ženu, ktorá sa ocitla v úlohe macochy či na opačnej strane - matky detí, alebo pre kohokoľvek, kto hľadá lepšie pochopenie týchto moderných rodinných dynamík.
Christine And The Queens - Paranoia, Angels, True Love (Expanded Edition) 3CD
Héloise Adélaide Letissier profesionálne známy ako „Christine and the Queens“ a „Redcar“, alebo jednoducho „Chris“, je francúzsky spevák a skladateľ. Narodil sa a vyrastal v Nantes, ako štvorročný sa začal učiť hru na klavíri a počas štúdia našiel inšpiráciu v jednom z londýnskych klubov. Jeho debutový štúdiový album „Chaleur humaine“ (2014) získal uznanie kritiky, dostal sa na 2. miesto vo francúzskom aj britskom rebríčku a vo Francúzsku bol certifikovaný ako diamantový; bola to tiež najpredávanejšia debutová nahrávka v Spojenom kráľovstve. V roku 2018 vydal svoj druhý štúdiový album „Chris“, ktorý si získal ďalšie uznanie u kritikov. Clash, The Guardian a The Independent ho označili za album roka a umiestnili sa v prvej desiatke z deviatich ďalších koncoročných zoznamov. Skladbu „Girlfriend“ ocenil časopis Time ako pieseň roka. V reakcii na smrť svojej matky vydal Letissier v roku 2020 EP“La vita nuova“, pričom niektorí kritici ho označili za jeho doteraz najsilnejšie dielo. „PARANOIA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE“ je napísaný, nahraný a produkovaný Christine and the Queens, s koprodukciou Mikea Deana (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce) s hosťami ako 070 Shake a Madonna.

Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.
