Nevšedná múdrosť pre všedný deň
Biblická kniha Kazateľ patrí do takzvanej biblickej múdroslovnej literatúry. Toto pomenovanie hovorí o tom, že v tejto knihe je zjavené úžasné bohatstvo Božej múdrosti, ktorá je cennejšia než drahé šperky (Pr 8,11), a ktorú my ľudia zúfalo potrebujeme do nášho života.
V knihe Kazateľ je zjavená nevšedná múdrosť Božia, ktorá chce vniesť svetlo do všedných dní nášho života. Autor knihy Kazateľ sa snaží zodpovedať prastarú otázku ľudstva: Aký je zmysel a cieľ ľudského života?M Hovorí, že sám hľadal pravdu a zmysel života, že ho hľadal na rôznych miestach, rôznym spôsobom a na rôznych úrovniach. Rozmýšľal o rôznych paradoxoch ľudského života, aby nakoniec dospel k úžasnému záveru: Bez Boha a bez jeho múdrosti, ktorú nám zjavil vo svojom Slove a nadovšetko v Tom, ktorý sa nám stal múdrosťou od Boha, vo svojom Synovi, Ježišovi Kristovi, niet zmyslu života pre človeka pod slnkom. V tomto nadčasový nadčasový význam tejto biblickej knihy.

A kétszívű lány
Csang és Eng, a sziámi ikerpár, valamint a világ legkövérebb asszonya a cirkuszporond szereplője, egyéb, "hibásan" született társaikat olcsó mutatványos sátrakban léptetik fel. Eközben az orvosi létesítményekben és múzeumokban tiltott boncolásokat végeznek: az elhantolt, ám azon frissiben kiásott holttestek értékét jelentősen növeli, ha szervi eltéréseket mutatnak.
A legsikeresebb sírrablók bandáját egy férfinak öltözött ifjú hölgy, Cora Lee vezeti. Nyereségesnek épp nem nevezhető üzletmenetét megakasztja egy fiatalember felbukkanása, akiről nem tudja eldönteni, hogy csupán vetélytárs-e, vagy valami mást akar.
Mert minden jel arra utal, hogy a húszéves lány féltve őrzött titkára fény derült. Sötét erők munkálkodnak azon, hogy élete ne természetes véget érjen, hanem - anatómiai rendellenességként - ő maga is miharabb a boncasztalon végezze.
Cora ugyanis két szívvel jött a világra.

Británie a USA - reálie
Znalost světa, v němž Britové a Američané žijí, usnadňuje cizincovu orientaci v jejich zemích i společenskou komunikaci s jejich obyvateli. Vzpomeňte si, jak Vás potěšilo, když cizinec ledacos věděl o Vaší zemi.
Zde ve dvou paralelních oddílech (Brit
ánie a USA) začneme s nástinem dějin těchto dvou zemí. Následují reálie institucí a všedního života. Není tu zeměpisný přehled obou států, ten je však poměrně snadno dostupný v knižních průvodcích. Nenajdete zde ani ekonomické údaje a politické aktua
lity, protože to všechno rychle podléhá změnám. Pro nedostatek místa nemohly být bohužel zařazeny kapitoly o architektuře, výtvarném umění a hudbě to však již patří k pokročilému studiu. Tento svazek je určen především pro "English learners" na stř
edních a jazykových školách, v kursech pro veřejnost a pro samouky. Není třeba knihu číst jako román, od začátku do konce. Nejprve si vyhledávejte to, co vás zajímá, nebo kde cítíte, že máte největší mezery ve vědomostech (můžete nahlédnout do závěre
čného rejstříku). 235 ilustrací v textu určitě podnítí Váš další zájem.
Český překlad Vám má usnadnit porozumění textu, ušetřit vyhledávání slovíček ve slovníku. I když se autor vyhýbal výrazivu s malou frekvencí a vše formuloval ve větách pokud možn
o jednoduchých, přece je lexikum těchto 50 kapitol dosti rozsáhlé.
Součástí kultury každého národa je i literatura. Její dějiny by však vyžadovaly samostatný svazek. Zde se pokusíme o jistou náhražku: vývoj britské a americké literatury rok po roce.
Zahrnuta však jsou jen díla přeložená do češtiny (příležitost pro čtenáře porovnat si název originálu s názvem českého překladu). Také je možné srovnávat, co bylo napsáno ve stejné době v Británii a USA - a u nás (jestliže znáte data vydání významněj
ších děl české literatury). Množství přeložených titulů (1380) Vás možná překvapí. Je to doklad toho, že se Češi jako malý národ vždy snažili být v kontaktu se zahraniční literaturou. A konečně, v oddílu literatury najdete i 153 portrétů významnějšíc
h či populárnějších spisovatelů, které nejsou jinde snadno dostupné.

Total Chaos
Marseilles Trilogy Volume One. Fabio Montale is the perfect protagonist in this city of melancholy beauty.

Black Girl from Pyongyang
The extraordinary true story of a West African girl’s upbringing in North Korea under the protection of President Kim Il Sung
In 1979, aged only seven, Monica Macias was transplanted from West Africa to the unfamiliar surroundings of North Korea. She was sent by her father Francisco, the first president of post-Independence Equatorial Guinea, to be educated under the guardianship of his ally, Kim Il Sung.
Within months, her father was executed in a military coup; her mother became unreachable. Effectively orphaned, she and two siblings had to make their life in Pyongyang. At military boarding school, Monica learned to mix with older children, speak fluent Korean and handle weapons on training exercises.
After university, she went in search of her roots, passing through Beijing, Seoul, Madrid, Guinea, New York and finally London – forced at every step to reckon with damning perceptions of her adoptive homeland. Optimistic yet unflinching, Monica’s astonishing and unique story challenges us to see the world through different eyes.
Dead Weight
Emmeline Clein's own history of disordered eating began when she was just twelve. In Dead Weight, alongside her own experience and through the stories of other women - famous figures from across time and popular culture, and girls she's known and loved - she traces the medical and cultural history of anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia and binge eating disorder.
In writing that's electric, fierce and endlessly curious, Clein investigates the economic conditions underpinning our eating disorder epidemic, grapples with the myriad ways disordered eating has affected her own friendships and romantic relationships, and illuminates how today's feminism has been complicit in disordered eating culture. Through it all, she challenges the accepted narratives women absorb every day about themselves, unearthing the pernicious messages that connect female worth to inhabiting an ever-smaller form.
Aiming to galvanize readers against disordered eating, Clein imagines a world where we allow ourselves to listen to our appetites and fight back against these diseases of self-destruction. In an age of appetite suppression, when self-shrinking is fetishized as a core tenet of the feminine experience, it is far past time for a book like Dead Weight.
Look No Further
The Parent Trap meets The Vanishing Half in Rioghnach Robinson and Siofra Robinson’s Look No Further, a gripping YA novel about estranged siblings who meet for the first time at art camp and confront their differing experiences of race and identity.
When 17-year-old Niko and 15-year-old Ali meet at Ogilvy Summer Art Institute, a selective camp for art students in New York City, they seem like complete opposites. Ali comes across as standoffish to laid-back Niko, who feels like a fish out of water surrounded by so many type-A peers. So when a teacher assigns them as pairs for a genealogy project, Ali and Niko are shocked to find they have a lot more in common than they bargained for.
As the pair embark on a quest to uncover their shared history, Ali finds herself falling for her roommate—who may have already fallen for another girl at Ogilvy—and surfer-bro Niko struggles to find his footing in the glamorous NYC art scene. Soon they’re both questioning their preconceptions about the world and each other. But only when they face real heartbreak can they accept the most transformative revelation of all: the best art is what you make, not just what you see.
The Coming Wave
AI. SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY. QUANTUM COMPUTING. Everything is about to change. This is the only book you need to understand this new world.
From the ultimate AI insider, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, part of Google.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.
None of us are prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side and the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?
This ground-breaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age.
Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened.
A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors?the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived.
The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.
Badass Habits
New York Times best-selling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits - breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before.
Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media.
Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again—our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits.
The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important.
Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset—and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of—and permission to go after—our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.
Simply Lies
NO TRUTH
Former Jersey City detective and single mother of two, Mickey Gibson, now works for global investigation company, ProEye, to track down assets of the wealthy who have tried to avoid their creditors.

And the truth behind why she selected Micky to become her nemesis . . .
Slovenská národná galéria
Každá inštitúcia typu národnej galérie musí z času na čas urobiť "audit" svojich zbierok a verejnosti ukázať, čo z nich je najozajstným klenotom, nárokujúcim si na punc nadčasovej kvality. Šesťdesiate výročie založenia Slovenskej národnej galérie ponúka možnosť nového pohľadu na kvalitu jej kolekcie - tentoraz kurátormi strednej a mladej generácie. Voľba 111 diel je na jednej strane ironickou odpoveďou na marketingovú dogmu "top ten"; zároveň sa však snaží zohľadniť proporcie zbierok a ich význam meniaci sa spolu s naším poznaním straého i súčasného umenia. Súčasťou knihy, vychádzajúcej v slovenskom i anglickom jazyku, sú kvalitné reprodukcie všetkých 111 diel (v mnohých prípadoch aj s ich analógiami) ako aj stručné dejiny Slovenskej národnej galérie v úvodnej kapitole od jej generálnej riaditeľky Kataríny Bajcurovej.
Ed Ruscha / Now Then
A sweeping cross-media survey of Ruscha’s six-decade career, from paintings and works on paper to photographs and artist's books, with essays by leading scholars
Spanning 65 years of Ed Ruscha’s remarkable career and mirroring his own cross-disciplinary approach, Ed Ruscha / Now Then features over 250 objects, produced from 1958 to the present, including paintings, drawings, prints, films, photographs, artist’s books and installations. Published to accompany the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date, and his first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated catalog highlights Ruscha’s most acclaimed works alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice.
Essays by an interdisciplinary group of contributors examine Ruscha’s work under a new light, beyond the categories of Pop and Conceptual art with which he has traditionally been associated, to present fresh perspectives on one of the most influential figures in postwar American art. Taken together, they underscore Ruscha’s singular contributions, including his material exploration of language, experiments with unconventional mediums?such as gunpowder, chocolate or chewing tobacco?and his groundbreaking self-published books. Supplemented by an illustrated chronology and exhibition history, this publication captures the ceaseless reinvention that has defined his prolific, six-decade career.
Ed Ruscha (born 1937) was raised in Oklahoma City and moved to Los Angeles in 1956, where he attended the Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts). First showing with the Ferus Gallery in the early 1960s, Ruscha was included in Walter Hopps' landmark Pop art show New Painting of Common Objects at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1962. He has since shown his work extensively, most recently in several medium-specific museum surveys, including the 2004 exhibition Cotton Puffs, Q-Tips®, Smoke and Mirrors: The Drawings of Ed Ruscha at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, which traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, and the 2009 exhibition Ed Ruscha: Fifty Years of Painting at the Hayward Gallery, London, which traveled to the Haus der Kunst, Munich, and Moderna Museet, Stockholm. In 2005, he represented the United States at the 51st Venice Biennale. Ruscha lives and works in Los Angeles.
