Môj príbeh - audiokniha
Pôsobivé a inšpiratívne osobné spomienky bývalej prvej dámy Spojených štátov amerických.
Michelle Robinsonová prežila detstvo v južnej časti Chicaga, kde sa v malom byte na poschodí delila o spoločnú izbu s bratom Craigom a naháňala sa s ním v blízkom parku. Jej rodičia Fraser a Marian Robinsonovci ju odmalička viedli k tomu, aby bola otvorená a nebojácna.
Život ju však zavial oveľa ďalej a do úplne iných sfér – počnúc posluchárňami Princetonskej univerzity, kde po prvý raz pocítila, aké je to byť jedinou černoškou v aule, až po presklenú výškovú kancelársku budovu, kde pracovala na poste renomovanej firemnej právničky. Tu sa v jedno letné dopoludnie objavil v jej kancelárii študent Barack Obama a obrátil celý jej starostlivo naplánovaný život naruby.
Michelle Obamová v tejto audioknihe opisuje začiatky svojho manželstva, keď sa snažila zladiť prácu, rodinu a materské povinnosti s rýchlo sa rozvíjajúcou politickou kariérou svojho manžela. Odhaľuje súkromné diskusie súvisiace s jeho kandidatúrou na post prezidenta aj svoju úlohu v jeho kampani, ktorá jej priniesla popularitu, no zároveň sa nevyhla ani kritike.
So šarmom, humorom a s neobvyklou otvorenosťou ponúka pohľad do zákulisia diania, keď sa jej rodina stala stredobodom pozornosti celého sveta, aj na osem dôležitých rokov, ktoré prežila v Bielom dome – na to, ako sa postupne zoznamovala so svojou krajinou a krajina sa zoznamovala s ňou.
Audiokniha Môj príbeh nás zavedie do skromných kuchýň v Iowe aj do tanečných sál Buckinghamského paláca, nevynechá okamihy veľkého žiaľu a nezlomnej vôle. Dá nám nazrieť hlboko do duše jedinečnej priekopníckej osobnosti, ktorá sa snaží žiť autenticky a investuje energiu, sily a hlas v prospech vyšších ideálov.
V odvážnom a úprimnom prerozprávaní svojho príbehu nás vyzýva, aby sme sa zamysleli nad tým, kto v skutočnosti sme a kým chceme byť.

Lacná kniha Barack Obama Odvaha doufat
Barack Obama jako hlavní řečník na bostonském konventu Demokratické strany v červenci 2004 uchvátil svým projevem, jehož prostřednictvím se obracel ke všem Američanům bez ohledu na politické přesvědčení či barvu pleti. V myslích posluchačů zakotvila zvlášť jeho slova „odvaha doufat“, kterými připomněl, že bez ohledu na všechny konflikty a zápasy vyskytující se v historii Ameriky byl lid této země vždy veden v duchu zarytého optimismu v budoucnost. V knize Odvaha doufat vyzval Obama – tehdy ještě jako senátor za stát Illinois – k vytvoření odlišného druhu politiky, jež by dokázala naplnit očekávání obyčejných lidí, unavených už věčným hašteřením politických stran a znechucených „nekonečným řinčením zbraněmi“, jaké je k vidění v kongresových politických půtkách nebo při předvolebním boji. Taková politika konsensu by měla být založena na důvěře a vzájemnosti. S překvapivou sdílností, vytříbeností i sebekritickým humorem tato kniha popisuje nejen vizi, jak by americká společnost dokázala překonat vnitřní rozpory a vypořádat se s konkrétními problémy, ale také rozličné společenské tlaky, které dokážou udolat i politika vedeného nejlepšími úmysly. Text se zabývá rostoucí ekonomickou nejistotou amerických rodin, rasovým a náboženským napětím ve státě i nadnárodními hrozbami v podobě terorismu či pandemií, snaží se vyrovnat s úlohou náboženství v demokracii a určit, kde má být víra životně důležitou součástí procesu demokracie a kde by se neměla do jeho uplatňování vměšovat. Obama napsal převratnou knihu, schopnou inspirovat čtenáře a občany po celém světě. Podle jeho přesvědčení mohou Američané napravit špatně fungující politický proces jedině tak, že se vrátí k principům stojícím u zrodu americké Ústavy a znovu přimějí správně pracovat státní moc, která se až nebezpečně vzdálila uvažování milionů obyčejných občanů. A tyto miliony, jak autor poznamenává, zatím venku „čekají, až s nimi republikáni a demokraté srovnají krok“.

Lacná kniha For Kick
Common sense said that the whole idea was crazy...but when offered huge sums of money to move to England and help the Earl of October uncover a suspected racehorse dope scandal, Danny Roke finds the proposal intriguing. Swapping his job as proprietor of an Australian stud farm to work undercover as a stable hand in Yorkshire, Danny soon has his hands full. Whilst the Earl's attractive daughters Patricia and Elinor draw his attention, he finds himself ever more deeply involved with the vicious swindlers he is out to entrap. And if neither the money nor the swindle will keep his mind on the job, maybe the death of the Earl's original investigator, Tommy Stapleton, will...

A Promised Land
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Design for Obama va
From its inception, the Barack Obama campaign was destined to make history. Its message of inclusion and empowerment was spread by thousands of volunteers, a grassroots organization of unprecedented size and enthusiasm. Design for Obama built on this spirit with an online forum where artists, designers and supporters could upload their artworks and download others. Shepard Fairey’s social realist "Hope" poster became 2008’s enduring image, inspiring scores of designs that appeared on the streets, at rallies and registration drives, and in homes and offices around the country.
Edited by designforobama.org founder Aaron Perry-Zucker and filmmaker Spike Lee, this collection showcases over 200 of the best pro-Obama posters. Contributors range from prominent graphic and street artists to young up-and-comers. With essays by Spike Lee, Perry-Zucker, and design historian Steven Heller, this outstanding collection serves as a matchless historical document of the widespread visual creativity that helped spur Obama to victory.

I was not Born for Quiet
Thanks to Janko Kráľ, as John Minahane has written, the Váh is Slovakia’s most mystical river. Again and again the poet returns to his community via that flagship poem of Slovak romanticism, The Enchanted Maiden in the Váh and Odd Johnny. Characteristic in Kráľ’s poetry is his focus on the inward side of events and stories, turned inside out, since one has to turn one’s clothing inside out/ and leap in the middle of the Váh. By this means, metaphysical space is opened. There the spirit is so blended together with reality that it becomes possible to break the spell on the maiden (motherland) in the river Lethe, which is life’s inverted clepsydra. Time always freshly poses the question, which young man wants to give body to his thought. And what unwinds from that is not only a defiant faith in the mission of poetry, but also Janko Kráľ’s courage to stand up for the language and national rights of Slovaks in 1848. To give the time a face where our identity is mirrored.
To this day we do not know exactly how Janko Kráľ looked in reality. Using the surviving descriptions of Kráľ’s appearance, he therefore created a metaphysical portrait with the digital tool Metahuman Creator, which is designed for creating figures for video games. Subsequently he placed this virtual figure in a contemporary context, in the form of manipulated photographs from the mass media.
