Musíme všichni někam na poušť
V životě básníka, grafika a překladatele Bohuslava Reynka patřilo přátelství s Janem Franzem mezi ty nejintenzivnější a nejniternější. Přestože byl Jan Franz, náročný literární kritik, překladatel a esejista, o osmnáct let mladší, vzniklo mezi nimi silné pouto, které přelomila až předčasná Franzova smrt (na válečné útrapy) v roce 1946. Oba spolu od počátku 30. let vedli korespondenční dialog, navzájem si hodnotili tvorbu a podporovali se v nelehkých chvílích. Navíc oba dva silně spojovalo jejich vysočinské venkovanství. Reynek žil v Petrkově u Havlíčkova Brodu, Franz (po studiích na pražské filozofické fakultě) často pobýval v rodném Jitkově u Havlíčkovy Borové. Kniha Musíme všichni někam na poušť představí příběh jejich neobyčejného přátelství, zpřístupní vzájemnou korespondenci, včetně dosud neznámých fotografií a archivních dokumentů. Edičně knihu připravil spisovatel Miloš Doležal, který se dlouhodobě věnuje odkazu obou mužů a graficky upravil Luboš Drtina. Kniha je vydávána u příležitosti 50. výročí smrti Bohuslava Reynka, tedy k 28. září 2021.
Ďáblovo znamení
Rae Winterová měla být mrtvá. Z auta, v němž zahynul její otec, vystoupila bez sebemenšího zranění. Lidé mluví o zázraku, ale sedmnáctiletý Matthew Watts ví své. Síly dobra nejsou jediné, které na světě působí. Sám Lucifer může označit duši, která měla zemřít, a poslat ji zpátky do světa živých, aby vykonala jeho zlou vůli. Matt spolu se svým otcem patří do tajného spolku Zasvěcených a jeho úkolem je najít ty, kteří v sobě nosí ďáblovo znamení, a zlikvidovat je dřív, než začnou vážně ubližovat druhým. Dlouho pomáhal tátovi, teď Matt dostal svůj vlastní projekt: musí zjistit, na jaké straně stojí Rae Winterová. Ale nepočítá s tím, že se do ní zamiluje. Najednou si není jistý, komu a čemu má věřit. Jak může být někdo jako Rae, někdo tak přemýšlivý, chytrý a laskavý, ďáblovým agentem? Co je pravda a co fantazie? Doporučený věk 13+

Garden Eden. Masterpieces of Botanical Illustration
In pursuit of both knowledge and delight, the craft of botanical illustration has always required not only meticulous draftsmanship but also a rigorous scientific understanding. This new edition of a TASCHEN classic celebrates the botanical tradition and talents with a selection of outstanding works from the National Library of Vienna, including many new images.
From Byzantine manuscripts right through to 19th-century masterpieces, through peonies, callas, and chrysanthemums, these exquisite reproductions dazzle in their accuracy and their aesthetics. Whether in gently furled leaves, precisely textured fruits, or the sheer beauty and variety of colors, we celebrate an art form as tender as it is precise, and ever more resonant amid our growing awareness of our ecological surroundings and the preciousness of natural flora.

Empathetic, enlightening, deeply human' Michael Harris, author of Solitude
In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, All the Lonely People is an intimate portrait of loneliness. Over countless cups of tea, psychologist Dr Sam Carr has collected hours of conversations with people young and old, including single parents, carers, teenagers and the bereaved, and found that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.
As Carr interweaves these touching and powerful tales with his own personal narrative, he opens a window onto the inner lives of regular people – the forgotten, misplaced or misjudged – who all feel isolated in some way. Sparking a profound conversation about a universal emotion, which may simply be an inevitable part of life, he questions what we can do to build stronger human relationships and be a part of something bigger than ourselves in an increasingly disjointed world.
Álmos haragja - A turul árnyékában
Kr. u. 880. Az Etel folyó mellett elterülő sztyeppén élő magyari törzsekre egyre nagyobb nyomás nehezedik kelet felől: a besenyők betörései megszaporodnak, és nyilvánvaló, hogy ezek a támadások csak előszelei egy nagyobb viharnak, az összes besenyő törzs nyugat felé vonulásának. A magyarok lassan, de biztosan harapófogóba kerülnek a keleti lovasnépek és a nyugati birodalmak, Bizánc és a Bolgár Cárság között. Mindemellett a magyarok törzsszövetsége is megosztott: Levedi, a kündü csak a megyer és a kürtgyarmat törzsek támogatását bírja, a másik öt törzs a gyulát, Álmost támogatja. Álmos célja az, hogy egyetlen vezér alatt egyesítve a magyar törzseket szembeforduljon a keletről közelgő viharral, és az érkező népeket meghódítva, beolvasztva hatalmas pusztai birodalmat hozzon létre. Levedi ezzel szemben a Havasokon túli Pannóniában látja a magyarság új hazáját – és új jövőjét, a frankok és a bizánciak mintájára való letelepedését. A két vezér szembenállása ha nyílt háborúságot nem is, de tapintható ellentéteket és kisebb összecsapásokat okoz a magyar törzsek között. Az idő azonban sürget: hamarosan döntésnek kell születnie, ha nem akarják, hogy a magyar olvadjon bele valamely más pusztai népbe. Hüse Lajos regényében a legújabb régészeti és antropológiai kutatási eredményeket is felhasználva kínál fordulatokban gazdag, olvasmányos bepillantást a honfoglaló magyarság IX. századi történetébe.

Painted People
In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’
Until now.
Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity.
The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them.
In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas.
Moab Is My Washpot
Moab is My Washpot, the remarkable story of Stephen Fry's tumultuous early life, is by turns funny, shocking, tender, delicious, sad, lyrical, bruisingly frank and addictively readable.
It's the story of a boy sent to a boarding school 200 miles from home at the age of seven, who survives beatings, misery, love, ecstasy, carnal violation, expulsion, imprisonment, criminal conviction, probation and catastrophe to emerge, at eighteen, ready to try and face the world in which he had always felt a stranger.
Fry writes with the wit and warmth which have become his hallmark, but with shocking candour too. For anyone seeking to understand one of Britain's greatest cultural treasures, this book is utterly essential reading.
