Heroes
They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them. Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption and addicted to violence, he's far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own. Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, and still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power, and he'll tell any lie, use any trick, and betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesn't have to fight for it himself. Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees and frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him? Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail. Three men. One battle. No Heroes.

Milý Herode
Pavel Obluk se pokouší proniknout k tajemství Vánoc skrze dialog s postavami evangelia. A je to pokus pozoruhodně živý a aktuální. Ježíš pro něj není růžolící cvalík, který z matčina klína vítá s úsměvem příchozí gratulanty. Ježíš leží v dřevěném korytě na zatuchlé slámě a je přikrytý kusem hadru. Usnul, vysílen dlouhým pláčem, stejně jako jeho rodiče. Jsme nad tím schopni žasnout jako pastýři? Zaslechli bychom v hluku dnešního světa radostný zpěv andělů nad Betlémem? V čem se podobáme třem králům? Bylo Herodovo vraždění neviňátek jen bezednou krutostí? Anebo přesvědčením, že k prosazení dobrého účelu lze použít jakékoli prostředky? Přečtěte si pětadvacet nevšedních dopisů, pokoušejících se o odpověď.

Heroes of the Sea
From time immemorial, we humans have felt drawn to the magic of the sea, to its power and unpredictability. Today, however, our oceans are threatened as never before. Plastic pollution, climate change, and industrial fishing are putting at risk the very existence of untold species. York Hovest has taken it upon himself to step up in the face of these challenges. He sought out and accompanied all sorts of "heroes of the sea": scientists, activists and visionaries who have launched projects to tackle the problem of how to save our oceans. It led him on numerous journeys to every corner of the earth and resulted in this one-of-a-kind photography volume that reveals both the undisguised beauty of the seas as well as the threats this unique world faces both above and below the surface. Hovest's pictures span the azure blue seas of the South Seas to the cold waters around the Arctic Circle. They show whales, sharks, and colorful reef inhabitants in their natural habitat. In breathtaking splendor and scope, they remind us of the immense diversity and beauty of marine life and urge us to protect the abundant life forms for whom the ocean is home. York Hovest, born in 1978 in Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is an investigative photographer, author, and adventurer who travels the world in search of inspiring stories and destinies. In his new project "Heroes of the Sea," he accompanies people who have dedicated themselves to saving the oceans. He is a sought-after guest in the media, a keynote speaker, and formerly an internationally successful fashion photographer. A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd Global. Sea Shepherd fights against illegal fishing, the slaughter of marine mammals, and ocean pollution. The book comes without plastic wrapping. Let's keep the seas safe.

Young Heroes of the Soviet Union
Can trauma be inherited? It is this question that sets Alex Halberstadt off on a quest to name and acknowledge a legacy of family trauma, and to end a cycle of estrangement that had endured for nearly a century.
His search takes him across the troubled, enigmatic land of his birth. In Ukraine he tracks down his paternal grandfather - most likely the last living bodyguard of Joseph Stalin - to reckon with the ways in which decades of Soviet totalitarianism shaped and fractured three generations of his family. He returns to Lithuania, his Jewish mother's home, to revisit the legacy of the Holocaust and the pernicious anti-Semitism that remains largely unaccounted for, learning that the boundary between history and biography is often fragile and indistinct. And he visits his birthplace, Moscow, where his glamorous grandmother designed homespun couture for Soviet ministers' wives, his mother dosed dissidents at a psychiatric hospital, and his father made a living by selling black-market jazz and rock records.
Finally, Halberstadt explores his own story: that of a fatherless immigrant who arrived in America, to a housing project in Queens, New York, as a ten-year-old boy struggling with identity, feelings of rootlessness and a yearning for home. He comes to learn that he was merely the latest in a lineage of sons who grew up alone, separated from their fathers by the tides of politics and history.
As Halberstadt revisits the sites of his family's formative traumas, he uncovers a multigenerational transmission of fear, suspicion, melancholy, and rage. And he comes to realize something more: nations, like people, possess formative traumas that penetrate into the most private recesses of their citizens' lives.

Herceg vagy Szörnyeteg?
Mindenki ismeri az ősi történetet, amelyben a kegyetlen Herceg Szörnyeteggé változik. Aztán megjelenik egy gyönyörű lány, együttérzésével megváltoztatja a rémséget, aki végül bele is szeret, majd boldogan élnek, míg meg nem halnak. Ám a történeteket, legyenek bár olyan jól ismertek, mint a Szépség és a Szörnyeteg, sokféle módon mesélik. De bármelyik változatot is hallja az ember, egy kérdés mindig megválaszolatlan marad: mitől változott a büszke Herceg a világtól elvonult, morózus Szörnyeteggé? Íme, egy lehetséges válasz a sok közül, melyeket világszerte mesélnek. Történetünk hiúságról, gőgről, gyűlöletről és kegyetlenségről szól... na és persze: az igaz szerelemről. Ez a Szépség szerelmének a könyve.
