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.

***
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.

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.

Bulgaria and Hungary in the First World War: A view from the 21st Century
This volume contains essays on the diplomatic and military relations between Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria in the First World War including their alliance politics towards other states and their aspirations on the Balkan Peninsula. The volume grew out of the presentations at the 2015 conference of the Bulgarian-Hungarian History Commission held in Sofia; a large portion of these studies represent attempts to transcend the politics of national grievance and self-victimization, and to avoid the canonization of national myths or the deflection of responsibility. At the same time, authors of the studies try to emphasize the alternatives the politicians of the period could have chosen, and how and why certain figures might bear responsibility for particular outcomes.

In sinu Jesu
V roku 2007 sa začali uprostred ticha adorácie srdcu jedného kňaza prihovárať Pán Ježiš a Panna Mária. Z týchto slov sa zrodila kniha In sinu Jesu, ktorej stránky sa priamo dotýkajú potrieb človeka našej doby a pomáhajú mu prehĺbiť vzťah s Bohom.
Na pozadí základného motívu, ktorým je klaňanie sa eucharistickému Ježišovi a prinášanie náhrady za tých, čo sa neklaňajú, sa tu otvárajú i ďalšie témy duchovného života: modlitba, odovzdanie sa Božej prozreteľnosti, nutnosť ticha, potreba sviatostí a posvätnej liturgie, tajomstvá svätej omše, podstata kňazstva a kľúč k jeho apoštolskej plodnosti, úloha Panny Márie a svätých v našich životoch, skúsenosť hriechu a vlastnej slabosti na ceste za Kristom, túžba po nebi a obnova cirkvi na zemi.
Táto kniha, ktorej učenie sa pevne opiera o Písmo a apoštolskú Tradíciu, vyšla s cirkevným schválením pôvodne v angličtine, bola preložená do mnohých jazykov a stala sa zdrojom obnovy vnútorného života mnohých kňazov, rehoľníkov i laikov po celom svete.

Europe - A History
Whether as an epic battleground or a cradle of civilizations, Europe has left an enduring imprint on the history of the world for over two millennia.
From megalithic civilizations through ancient times, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism, two world wars and the years that followed, this book looks beyond a series of distinct national histories to offer the history of Europe as an often shared experience across one continent.
This book delves into events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, traces the continents evolution from the collapse of Communism through the Iraq War, global financial crisis, Brexit and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
And then looking forward, it explores what would be necessary for the continent to remain a global power-player for years to come.

Rómski kováči na Slovensku / Roma Blacksmith in Slovakia
Nová publikácia z edície Tradícia dnes prináša celistvý, doteraz nepublikovaný pohľad na kováčstvo Rómov na Slovensku v kontexte ich etnokultúrneho vývoja s reflektovaním podôb a špecifík materiálnej zložky (pracovné postupy, výrobky) i spoločenskej stránky (postavenie kováčov v spoločenstvách Rómov i z pohľadu nerómskych obyvateľov) tohto zamestnania. Kováčske remeslo (i hudobníctvo) vykonávané Rómami sa stretli so záujmom majoritného obyvateľstva a umožnili Rómom v priebehu 16.-18. storočia prejsť na trvalo usadlý spôsob života. V tom spočíva výnimočný význam tohto remesla ako pre Rómov, tak aj pre majoritné obyvateľstvo. Technológiu spracovania kovov si priniesli Rómovia z indickej pravlasti. Svedčia o tom prvky v technológii práce (napr. kovanie na zemi) i používané nástroje (napr. dvojica kožených mechov), ktoré dodnes v Indii používajú predpokladaní príbuzní európskych Rómov. Rómski kováči sa zameriavali na produkciu výrobkov, ktoré nevyrábali miestni nerómski kováči a preto nedochádzalo ku konkurencii. Do polovice 20. storočia to boli predovšetkým šindľové, krokvové, podkovové, železničné klince, nástroje pre roľníkov (okovanie pluhov, reťaze, sekery a i.), debnárov, vareškárov, stolárov, kolárov, šindliarov i predmety do domácnosti (nože, sekáče, trojnožky, ocieľky na nietenie ohňa, pasce na chytanie zvierat a pod.). Na príklade folklóru (piesne, príslovia) autor ukazuje, že rómski kováči boli vážení tak príslušníkmi svojej komunity, ako aj zo strany majoritného obyvateľstva. Publikácia sleduje vývoj kováčstva Rómov aj od polovice 20. storočia, kedy lacné fabrické výrobky utlmili záujem o výrobky kováčov a preto rómski kováči udržiavali svoje remeslo vytváraním kováčskych dielní, neskôr zameraním sa na umelecké kováčstvo.
