End Times
One of the most iconoclastic thinkers of our time offers a brilliant new theory of how society works
What leads to political turbulence and social breakdown? How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power?
For decades, complexity scientist Peter Turchin has been studying world history like no-one else. Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, he has transformed the way we learn from the past. End Times is the result: a ground-breaking account of how society works.
The lessons, he argues, are clear. When the balance of power between the ruling class and the majority tips too far in favour of elites, income inequality surges. The rich get richer, the poor further impoverished. As more people try to join the elite, frustration with the establishment brims over, often with disastrous consequences. Elite overproduction led to state breakdown in imperial China, in medieval France, in the American Civil War - and it is happening now.
But while we are far along the path toward violent political rupture, Turchin's models also light the way to a brighter future. Drawing insight from those occasions in history where the balance was restored, End Times also points towards a different future: an escape from the patterns of the past.

Never before published, this self-curated, intensely personal collection of travel notes and sketches by the world’s most revered performance artist offers readers a kind of iconography of Abramović’s daring and utterly original body of work.
An artist’s notebooks are arguably the most authentic means of understanding her process, techniques, and impulses. And, for a performance artist, a rare, permanent record of how she develops her craft. Compiled over the course of four decades on stationery from various hotels, and other temporary residences, this collection of Marina Abramović’s original drawings, collages, poetry, writings, cut-outs, photographs and doodles offers glimpses of a brilliant mind in constant motion.
Beautifully produced and packaged, it takes readers on a journey through Abramović’s thoughts—and traces the evolution of the most fruitful phase of her career. “I believe we humans need to keep moving forward, and my own life was purely nomadic,” Abramović writes of her travel diaries. “My home was everywhere I went because my home was my own body.”
With the archival material elegantly reproduced in their original size on high-quality paper, this collection offers Abramović’s enormous fanbase unprecedented access to her creative process.

Brother Alive
In 1990, three boys are born, unrelated but intertwined by circumstance: Dayo, Iseul and Youssef. They are adopted as infants and live in a shared bedroom perched atop a mosque in Staten Island. The boys are a conspicuous trio: Dayo is of Nigerian origin, Iseul is Korean and Youssef indeterminately Middle Eastern, but they are so close as to be almost inseparable. Nevertheless, Youssef is keeping a secret from his brothers: he has an imaginary double, a familiar who seems absolutely real, a shapeshifting creature he calls Brother.
The boys' adoptive father, Imam Salim, is known for his radical sermons extolling the virtues of opting out of Western ideologies. But he is uncharismatic at home, a distant father who spends evenings in his study with whiskey-laced coffee, writing letters to his former compatriots back in Saudi Arabia. Like Youssef, he too has secrets, including the cause of his failing health, the reason for his nighttime excursions from the house and the truth about what happened to the boys' parents. When Imam Salim's path takes him back to Saudi Arabia, the boys will be forced to follow. There they will be captivated by an opulent, almost futuristic world and find traces of their parents' stories. But they will have to change if they want to survive in this new world, and the arrival of a creature as powerful as Brother will not go unnoticed.
With stylistic brilliance and intellectual acuity, in Brother Alive Zain Khalid brings characters to vivid life with a bold energy that matches the great themes of his novel - family, capital, power, sexuality and the possibility of reunion for those who are broken.

Viktor Preiss
Viktora Preisse známe jako charismatického, jemného, elegantního a inteligentního herce s nezaměnitelným šarmem a kouzlem osobnosti. Většina z nás především z obrazovky veřejnoprávní televize, kde ztvárnil bezpočet rolí v inscenacích a seriálech. Dobrodružství kriminalistiky, Slavné historky zbojnické, Nemocnice na kraji města, Cirkus Humberto, a Četnické humoresky patří k těm nejznámějším, podobně jako filmy S čerty nejsou žerty, Báječná léta pod psa, Anglické jahody, Vrásky z lásky nebo Křídla Vánoc. Jeho hlasem k nám promlouvá Robin Williams jako Táta v sukni i v dalších rolích, Kabir Bedi jako nezapomenutelný Sandokan či Michael Douglas v Honbě za diamantem. Za své dabérské umění byl oceněn hned v prvním ročníku Ceny Františka Filipovského za nejlepší výkon v dabingu (1995). Jeho hlas je velmi populární a ceněný také v rozhlasovém éteru v dramatizacích světových literárních děl, za což si vysloužil několikanásobné vítězství v anketě o nejlepšího Neviditelného herce.
Viktor Preiss je však i přes všechna svá výše jmenovaná účinkování a úspěchy především a hlavně divadelní herec. Patnáct let strávil v Městských divadlech pražských, poté se víc jak tři desetiletí výraznou měrou podílel na prezentaci Divadla na Vinohradech jako uměleckého stánku s hvězdným hereckým souborem a mimořádně kvalitním repertoárem. Na prknech, která znamenají svět, vytvořil mnoho výrazných a neopakovatelných rolí, za všechny jmenujme dvojroli v komedii Brouk v hlavě, která se počtem víc jak 340 repríz stala nejúspěšnějším představením ve stoleté historii Divadla na Vinohradech. (!)
V devětašedesáti letech mu zaslouženě patří označení pan herec s velkým „P“ a mistr hereckého řemesla s velkým „M“. Dalo by se bez nadsázky říci, že je pokračovatelem slavné generace předválečných a poválečných hereckých bardů, jakými byli Václav Voska, Karel Höger, Rudolf Deyl ml., Zdeněk Štěpánek, Ladislav Pešek a další. Ocitl se na vrcholu tvůrčích sil a kariéry, takže by mohl už jen sklízet plody svého mistrovství.
O to více překvapilo, když v lednu 2016 oznámil, že odchází do divadelního důchodu.
„Divadlo je běh na dlouhou trať. Zní to skoro jako fráze, ale každý máme určitou psychickou a fyzickou kapacitu, a tedy i hranici unavitelnosti, svoji míru soudnosti a odpovědnosti. A taky jinou potřebu regenerace. To, že jsem mohl dělat divadlo po dvě třetiny svého života, bylo pro mě velké štěstí a jsem za to vděčný. Skutečnost, že jsem mohl pracovat na scénách, na kterých tvořilo tolik osobností před námi, byla nejen zavazující, ale i velká čest. Energie má ale zkrátka své hranice a teprve čas ukáže, jak to s ní doopravdy je a bude. Proto jsem se rozhodl tak, jak jsem se rozhodl. A věřte, nebylo to snadné.“
Věříme, protože Viktor Preiss jako věrný a poctivý služebník múzy Thálie se svému poslání nikdy nezpronevěřil. Pojďte se spolu s námi
Punk Paradox: A Memoir
From the legendary singer-songwriter of Bad Religion comes a historical memoir and cultural criticism of punk rock’s evolution.
Greg Graffin is the lead vocalist and songwriter of Bad Religion, recently described as “America's most significant punk band.” Since its inception in Los Angeles in 1980, Bad Religion has produced 18 studio albums, become a long-running global touring powerhouse, and has established a durable legacy as one of the most influential punk rock bands of all time.
Punk Paradox is Graffin's life narrative before and during L.A. punk's early years, detailing his observations on the genre's explosive growth and his band's steady rise in importance. The book begins by exploring Graffin’s Midwestern roots and his life-changing move to Southern California in the mid-’70s. Swept up into the burgeoning punk scene in the exhilarating and often-violent streets of Los Angeles, Graffin and his friends formed Bad Religion, built a fanbase, and became a touring institution. All these activities took place in parallel with Graffin's never ceasing quest for intellectual enlightenment. Despite the demands of global tours, recording sessions, and dedication to songwriting, the author also balanced a budding academic career. In so doing, he managed to reconcile an improbable double-life as an iconic punk rock front man and University Lecturer in evolution.
Graffin’s unique experiences mirror the paradoxical elements that define the punk genre—the pop influence, the quest for society’s betterment, music’s unifying power—all of which are prime ingredients in its surprising endurance. Fittingly, this book argues against the traditional narrative of the popular perception of punk. As Bad Religion changed from year to year, the spirit of punk—and its sonic significance—lived on while Graffin was ever willing to challenge convention, debunk mythology, and liberate listeners from the chains of indoctrination.
As insightful as it is exciting, this thought-provoking memoir provides both a fly on the wall history of the punk scene and astute commentary on its endurance and evolution.
Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine
Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.
