Pokojní v nepokoji / Light in darkness
Fotograf Timotej Križka zachytil príbehy politických väzňov zo Slovenska. Do knihy vybral svedectvá tých, ktorých pobyt vo väzení nezlomil a napriek neprávosti, ktorá bola na nich spáchaná, si zachovali vnútornú slobodu a pokoj. Ako hovorí jeden zo svedkov: Každý z nás má mať určitý životný názor a za ním stáť za každej situácie. Nie meniť svoje názory vzhľadom k tomu, aby po ekonomickej alebo spoločenskej stránke získal niečo navrch. Tak bude šťastný a spokojný.
Pokojní v nepokoji/Light in darkness: Eugénia Vyskočilová, Rudolf Dobiáš, Michal Ivanko, Štefan Ružovič, Michal Vasiľ, Eugen Ján Kočiš, Ján Ďuro, Anton Srholec, Dorota Kravjanská, Jozef Tóth, Imrich Vanta, Imrich Mráz, Ján Chryzostom Korec, Františka Múziková, Ján Zeman, Jozef Mašlej, Akvinas, Ladislav Záborský, Justína, Bernard Pánči, Andrej Konc

***
Človek môže byť fyzicky obmedzený, ale o slobodu ducha, o to nemôže obrať človeka ani väzenie. / A man can be limited physically, but not even prison can rob a man of the freedom of the spirit.
Nehanbím sa sám pred sebou. Keby som videl, aj zrkadlo by mi ukázalo, kto som. / I am not ashamed when I look at myself. If I could see, even the mirror would show me who I am.
Vyšiel som von ako slepý. Nepoznal som peniaze, nič. Bol som samý vred. Boli veľké ako slepačie vajce. Celý čas som žil pod tlakom nevedomosti. Prišiel som domov a keď ma uvidela manželka, myslela si, že má halucinácie. Deti vyrástli, jedna dcérka mala dvanásť, druhá desať rokov. / When I got out I was like a blind man. I didnt know the currency, nothing. I was covered in ulcers. Ulcers as big as chicken eggs. This whole time I lived under the pressure of ignorance. I came home and when my wife saw me, she thought she was hallucinating. My children grew up, one of my daughters was twelve, the other ten.
Tam som mal čas na premýšľanie. Modlil som sa za svojich nepriateľov, nikdy som nepochyboval o tom, že dobro zvíťazí. Naivita? Doteraz som na to nenašiel odpoveď. / In there I had time to think. I prayed for my enemies, I never doubted that good would triumph over evil. Naiveté? I dont have an answer yet.

Opravdové bohatství si nosíme v sobě
Hrabě Alexandr Iljič Rostov je na konci občanské války jako „nenapravitelný aristokrat“ odsouzen bolševickým tribunálem k doživotnímu vězení v moskevském hotelu Metropol. Uhlazený vzdělanec je nucen žít v podkrovní komůrce, zatímco venku se odehrávají nejbouřlivější události ruské historie. Přesto zakusí úžasné dobrodružství dalece přesahující hranice hotelu, jenž je se svými zvyklostmi, každodenní rutinou a různorodým personálem světem sám pro sebe. Šlechticovo „domácí vězení“ je naplněno nečekanými přátelstvími, hlubokomyslnými rozhovory, dojemnou sounáležitostí, radostí i žalem, které dávají nahlédnout do nejhlubších zákoutí ruské duše.
Strhující příběh klenoucí se od vzniku Sovětského svazu přes Velkou vlasteneckou válku až po nástup Chruščova k moci.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.

A Shadow in the Ember - Árnyék a parázsban (Hús és tűz 1.)
Ejtsd szerelembe, válj a gyenge pontjává, végezz vele... Seraphena Mierel az ősi lények fátylába burkolva született, a Sors ígérte Szűzként, ezért a jövője sosem volt az övé: születése előtt kiválasztották, hogy alanya legyen egy kétségbeesett alkunak, amelyet őse kötött a népe megmentése érdekében.
Serának hátra kell hagynia az életét, és a Halál Ősi Lényének kell felajánlkoznia hitvesül. Ám Sera valódi sorsa egész Lazania legjobban őrzött titka: ő nem a jól védett Szűz, hanem egy bérgyilkos, akinek egyetlen küldetése van - és egyetlen célpontja: a Halál Ősi Lénye. Ha kudarcot vall, a királyságát lassú pusztulásra ítéli a Rothadás keze által.
Sera mindig is tudta, hogy ki ő. Kiválasztott. Hitves. Orgyilkos. Fegyver. Egy kísértet, aki sosem ölthetett saját formát, mégis vérben ázik. Egy szörnyeteg. Egészen addig, amíg ő el nem jön érte... Amíg a Halál Ősi Lényének sorsa össze nem fonódik az övével. És a férfi csábító érintése olyan szenvedélyt lobbant fel benne, amilyet soha nem élt még át, és amit nem is érezhetne iránta. De Serának sosem volt választása.
A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime - Egymillió csók egy életen át - Éldekorált kiadás
Wren Beaumont-ról sok mindent elmondható.
Gyönyörű.
Okos.
Édes.
Ártatlan.
Az elit Lancaster középiskolában imádják a lányok. Mindenki a barátnője akar lenni. Csak én látok át rajta..
Egy elnyomott kis szüzecske, aki olyan erősen fojtja el az érzéseit, hogy majd' szétrobban. Azt képzeli, valamennyiünk felett áll.
Még felettem is.
Nem kellene vonzódnom hozzá. Nem a zsánerem.
Amíg aztán egyszer az órákon közös munkára nem kényszerülünk, és rá nem jövünk, hogy több bennünk a közös, mint eredetileg gondoltuk. És nem telik el sok idő, hogy a megszállottja legyek. Bármit megtennék ezért a lányért, hogy belém szeressen.
Bármit.
