Beijing Rules
For several decades Chinese ascendancy has been supported by an astonishingly broad and deep portfolio of soft power. The stories are their reach are breath-taking - Chinese-sponsored reporting in the Daily Telegraph; the gagging of NBA and Premier League sports brands; state-funded faculties across Western academia; Hollywood self-censorship for the Chinese market; and of course - Huawei. But these are just the most visible examples. With some dextrous manoeuvrings during the global pandemic, Chinese munificence and leadership towards other states has now positioned it to take its place as leader of the world. This is the culmination of a long campaign waged strategically by the Chinese Communist Party before our eyes.
Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, an internationally recognized expert in the "China influence beat" and has been heading the investigation into the wielding of these covert investments for years. In Beijing Rules she goes further - not only outlining the many astonishing schemes in this bid for global dominance but showing us what their success tells us about ourselves. Their rise tells us how susceptible our own system of free market capitalism in a globalized economy is. Through the loopholes of big money in politics, corporate deregulation and the disenfranchisement of the worker - we have become vulnerable to the dispassionate forces of authoritarian capitalism. Our once key strength has become our weakness.

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.

Graffiti rules
Příběh party studentů gymnázia a jejich učitelů. Hlavní hrdinové se věnují malování graffiti. Na pozadí se ale odkrývají problémy teenagerů, konflikt mezi konformitou a naprostou svobodou, odpovědností a životem okamžiku, konflikt mezi školou, která je odcizená realitě, a studenty, kteří chtějí dělat skutečné věci. Čtenář se dostává ze zaběhlých školních paravidel do temného nočního reje, kde writeři graffiti žijí svůj vysněný život. Nespoutaná svoboda, ignorance všech pravidel dokresluje dramatický, téměř dobrodružný příběh. Unavené, stereotypní město před námi ožívá nepoznanou atmosférou.
Podle knížky vznikl scénář filmu Gympl.

Senkiben sem bízhatsz? Amikor a fiatal, szőke Isabelle Coleman eltűnik, Denton kisvárosában mindenki a keresésére indul, de nyomát sem lelik. Josie Quinn nyomozó közben rátalál egy másik lányra, akiről addig azt sem tudták, hogy eltűnt.
A rejtélyes lány, aki nem hajlandó megszólalni, teljesen össze van törve. Josie csupán egy harmadik lány nevét képes belőle kihúzni, és azt, hogy látott egy neonszínű nyelvpiercinget – ami pont olyan, mint amit Isabelle is viselt.
Versenyfutás kezdődik, hogy még időben megtalálják Isabelle-t, ám Josie attól is tart, hogy más lányok is eltűnhettek. Amikor a nyomok egy olyan ügyhöz vezetik, ami a hatóságok szerint nem is létezik, Josie már abban sem lehet biztos, hogy kiben bízhat.
A kisvárosban valaki leírhatatlan bűncselekményeket követ el. Josie vajon képes még azelőtt megtalálni a gyilkost, mielőtt a szörnyeteg újabb áldozatot kapna el?
Igazi csemege ez a regény. A letehetetlen sorozatnyitó kötet olvasása után garantáltan felkapcsolt villanynál fognak aludni az olvasók. Éld át az izgalmait!
Poézia pre dvoch Poetry For Two
Básnická kniha Poézia pre dvoch Poetry For Two je napísaná po slovensky a anglicky, v dvoch jazykoch, ktorými poetka Ivana Komanická myslí, v ktorých si uvedomuje svoje bytie a v ktorých tvaruje svet okolo seba. Podoba básní je určená konverzačným tónom reálnych a fiktívnych rozhovorov s partnerom a z virtuálnej podstaty reči sa postupne začínajú formovať skutočné udalosti a skutoční ľudia zachytení v nečakanej a naliehavej situácii. Básne plynú ako políčka filmu a v ich osobitom a ľahkom rytme sa odkrýva a zahaľuje všetko to, čo človek túži povedať alebo hovorením zakryť. Kniha je vnútorne spojená s autorkinou lyrickou prózou Pre teba sa postavím proti sebe (2018) a spolu zobrazujú životný príbeh človeka zasiahnutého prítomnosťou, v ktorej sú zviditeľnené fragmenty individuálnej pamäti a záblesky toho, čo sa môže stať.

Democracy Rules
One of our most essential political thinkers offers a vital account of democracy in the twenty-first century
Everyone knows that democracy is in trouble, but do we know what democracy actually is? Political philosopher Jan-Werner Muller, author of the widely acclaimed What Is Populism?, takes us back to basics.
In this short, elegant volume, he explains how democracy is founded on three vital principles: liberty, equality, and also uncertainty. The latter, he argues, is crucial for ensuring democracy's dynamic and creative character. Authoritarians, as well as Big Tech, seek to render politics (and individual citizens) predictable; democracy holds open the possibility that new ideas, movements and identities can be created.
Acknowledging fully the dangers posed by populism, by kleptocratic autocracies like Russia's and by the digital authoritarianism of Xi, Muller also challenges the assumptions made by many liberals defending democracy in recent years. He shows how the secession of plutocratic elites in the West has undermined much of democracy's promise. In response, we need to re-invigorate our institutions, especially political parties and professional media, but also make it easier for citizens to mobilize.
Taking on many of the most difficult political questions we face, this book is a vital rethinking of what democracy is, and how we can reinvent our social contract.
