The Song of Achilles
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

The Psychology of Money
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money-investing, personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

The Law
The Law, original French title La Loi, is a 1849 book by Frédéric Bastiat. It was published one year after the third French Revolution of 1848 and one year before his death of tuberculosis at age 49. The essay was influenced by John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and in turn influenced Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. It is the work for which Bastiat is most famous along with The candlemaker's petition and the Parable of the broken window.In The Law, Bastiat states that "each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property". The State is a "substitution of a common force for individual forces" to defend this right. The law becomes perverted when it punishes one's right to self-defense in favor of another's acquired right to plunder.

Judicial Law-Making and Judicial Interpretation in Central European Countries
This book reflects on the changing role of the judiciary in Central Europe. From among the many problems associated with the position of courts in contemporary states, the authors focus on various questions of how the courts’ decision-making can reinforce the overall coherence of the law, rather than contribute to its fragmentation. These questions are as follows, for example: What role can be played by the way judges use interpretation methods in terms of strengthening or weakening the law as a system? Is it legitimate for the courts to formulate, in their decisions, general principles and rules which have a potential to impact a very broad circle of future cases? What is the role of courts in strengthening the unity of law in relation to the other branches of government, and to international bodies and institutions? The first part of the book focuses on the theoretical and doctrinal foundations of judicial law-making in Central European countries. The authors deal with topics concerning the relationship among the judiciary, the constitution and statutory law; legal casuistry, as opposed to a systemic approach to law; judge’s decision-making in a situation where there is no a priori regulation; and the role of settled practice in terms of the traditional doctrine on the sources of law. The second part then deals with pro-systemic and anti-systemic effects of judge-made law and judicial interpretation; this part also tackles the issues of maximalism and minimalism in judicial decision-making; judicial law-making with regard to constitutional complaints; coherence of law in connection with retrospective effects of case law; and finally, the legitimacy of evolutive interpretation in the light of the principles of human rights protection developed by the European Court of Human Rights.

Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, co-authored by her son Harry Whittaker, draws Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion.
1928, Paris
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and no-one's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean
The seven sisters are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.

Poetické Slovensko / Poetry of Slovakia
Súčasné Slovensko formovali v dávnej minulosti mnohé ríše a národy. Od Keltov, Dákov, Samovu ríšu, slovanskú
Veľkomoravskú ríšu, Uhorsko, habsburgské Rakúsko, Rakúsko - Uhorsko, na troskách ktorého získali Slováci
po tisíc rokoch znovu samostatnosť v rámci prvej Československej republiky. Cez krátku avantúru s nacistickým
Nemeckom, obnovením československej štátnosti pod dozorom komunistického Sovietskeho zväzu až k zmene
spoločenského poriadku v roku 1989 a následnému vyhláseniu samostatnosti 1.januára1993.
Za tie dlhé storočia boli obyvatelia dnešného Slovenska konfrontovaní s mnohými výzvami. Dôležitými míľnikmi
bolo prijatie kresťanstva, odmietnutie učenia byzantínskych vierozvestcov Cyrila a Metoda a následné pričlenenie
sa k západnej cirkvi. Epidémia čierneho moru zdecimovala počty obyvateľov. Následná nemecká kolonizácia
priniesla modernizáciu a rozkvet spoločnosti. Osmanské výboje priamo ohrozovali značnú časť obyvateľstva.
Slovensku sa nevyhli náboženské konflikty v Európe. Posledné storočie striedali krátke epizódy všestranného
a demokratického rozvoja s najkrvavejšími diktatúrami, ktoré kedy existovali. Po získaní samostatnosti
pred dvadsiatimi piatimi rokmi začala kľukatá cesta k demokracii a obdobiu zrejme najväčšej prosperity,
akú sme na Slovensku kedy zažili.
Súc diplomatom, prežívam dlhé obdobia môjho života v zahraničí. Je veľmi zaujímavé spoznávať nové krajiny,
chápať osobitosti rôznych spoločenských poriadkov, náboženstiev, iných kultúr. Ľuďom sa častokrát stáva,
že nestihnú spoznať vlastnú krajinu. Dlhé roky som sa venoval jej fotografovaniu. Kedysi na veľmi amatérskej báze.
Od fotoaparátu upevnenom v čínskom lampióne šťastia, cez rogalo a vetrone až k športovým lietadlám.
Výsledkom je takmer 120 fotografií, na ktorých sa pokúšam ukázať magickú krásu Slovenska.
