Tajný vejár
Sugestívne rozprávanie osemdesiatročnej Ľalie, ktorá na sklonku svojho života rozpráva príbeh, ktorý v sebe dusila, kým hlavní aktéri jej rozprávania – v zmysle čínskych tradícií - neodídu z radov živých. A tak pred čitateľom defiluje život čínskych žien, kruto zošnurovaný tradíciou. Zoznamujeme sa so šesťročnou Ľaliou, druhou dcérou chudobného roľníka, ktorú v živote vzhľadom na chudobu svojich rodičov nečakajú ružové vyhliadky. A predsa: vďaka fyzickým danostiam - anatómii svojej nohy, ktorá sľubuje nádej na najmenšiu možnú nôžku, sa jej perspektíva radikálne zmení. Dohadzovačka jej dohodí laotchung, dvojníčku z bohatej rodiny, o akej Ľalia mohla len snívať. Dievčatá spolu prežívajú obväzovanie nôh, hraničiace takmer s rozsudkom smrti, každodenné radosti i starosti dospievania i výber ženíchov. Svoje osudy prežívajú v ženskej izbe, vykázané zo sveta mužov nielen psychicky, ale aj fyzicky. Ich zmrzačené nohy nevládajú niesť záťaž spojenú s chôdzou, z izby vychádzajú, len aby dozerali na domácnosť a ich obzor sa nevyhnutne zužuje a obracia do vnútorného sveta plného legiend... Život Ľalie a Snežnej Ruže sa pomaly, ale iste začína meniť. Lenže kým u Ľalie k lepšiemu, s jej laotchung Snežnou Ružou si osud zahrá krutú hru... Aké má možnosti žena bez vena, bez praktických skúseností z vedenia domácnosti, s krutou svokrou, ktorej je vystavená napospas, a drsným manželom? Ako to dievčatá zvládnu, vydrží ich vzťah, ktorý je podľa čínskych tradícií silnejší ako vzťah k manželovi? Ako sa Ľalia zhostí svojej roly váženej manželky a naopak, ku komu sa bude Snežná Ruža utiekať vo chvíľach, keď jej bude ťažko...? Lisa See napísala plnokrvný román plný drámy, ktorý sa číta jedným dychom.

See, Solve, Scale
Inspired by Brown University's beloved course - The Entrepreneurial Process - Danny Warshay's See, Solve, Scale is a proven and paradigm-shifting method to unlocking the power of entrepreneurship.
The Entrepreneurial Process, one of Brown University's highest-rated courses, has empowered thousands of students to start their own ventures. You might assume these ventures started because the founders were born entrepreneurs. You might assume that these folks had technical or finance degrees, or worked at fancy consulting firms, or had some other specialized knowledge. Yet that isn't the case. Entrepreneurship is not a spirit or a gift. It is a process that anyone can learn, and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a solution with impact.
In See, Solve, Scale, Danny Warshay, the creator of the Entrepreneurial Process course and founding Executive Director of Brown's Center for Entrepreneurship, shares the same set of tools with aspiring entrepreneurs around the world. He overturns the common misconception that entrepreneurship is a hard-wired trait or the sole province of high-flying MBAs, and provides a proven method to identify consequential problems and an accessible process anyone can learn, master, and apply to solve them.
Combining real-world experience backed by surprising research-based insights, See, Solve, Scale guides the reader through forming a successful startup team and through the three steps of the process: find and validate a problem, develop an initial small-scale solution, and scale a long-term solution. It also details eleven common errors of judgment that entrepreneurs make when they rely on their intuition and provides instruction for how to avoid them.
Leveraging Warshay's own entrepreneurship successes and his 15 years of experience teaching liberal arts students, See, Solve, Scale debunks common myths about entrepreneurship and empowers everyone, especially those who other entrepreneurship books have ignored and left behind. Its lasting message: Anyone can take a world-changing idea from conception to breakthrough entrepreneurial success.
I Am Haunted
Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans has travelled all over the world, seeking answers to life's deepest and most terrifying mysteries. What happens when we die? Why do some spirits move on while others remain stuck in some sort of in-between place? What do the spirits really want from us?
Zak has dedicated his life to finding out the truth. He has bought a demon house in Indiana that has been described as a 'portal to hell,' summoned the devil at the Hellfire Club in Ireland, and been attacked by a possessed doll in Mexico. But sometimes it's his interactions with the living that rattle him the most, from innocent people harbouring evil spirits to crazed fans to the victims of violent spirit attacks. Through his investigations of the world's most haunted places, Zak has learned far more about the living and the dead than anyone should. He's been to the edge of death and back and come away with a spiritual key that unlocks doors to another world that few have ever seen.

Johnny Cash I see a darkness
Reinhard Kleist není českým čtenářům neznámý: v roce 2015 vyšel jeho zásadní komiks o holocaustu Boxer, inspirovaný skutečným životním příběhem polského židovského boxera a vězně koncentračního tábora Hercka Hafta. Ještě před napsáním Boxera ovšem Kleist uspěl také mezinárodně s komiksem o životě countryového zpěváka Johnnyho Cashe. Kniha byla přeložena do 14 jazyků a získala řadu ocenění, mj. nejvýznačnější německou komiksovou cenu „Max und Moritz“, cenu Prix des Ados na literárním festivalu ve francouzském Deauville a americké komiksové ceny Eisner a Harvey.
Johnny Cash, nejznámější countryový zpěvák všech dob, rebel a idol mnoha generací hudebních fanoušků, se stal už za svého života legendou. Jeho tvorba ovlivnila další vývoj populární hudby. Na vrcholu kariéry měl vlastní televizní pořad, do něhož si zval nejznámější muzikanty té doby. Reinhard Kleist líčí jeho pohnutý osud velmi poutavě a naléhavě: od jeho dětství, prvního jamování s Elvisem Presleyem přes koncert ve vězení Folsom, neobyčejně úspěšný přelom šedesátých a sedmdesátých let, kdy Cash ale zároveň stále více propadal závislosti na alkoholu a drogách, až k jeho mimořádném comebacku po boku producenta Ricka Rubina.
Go Tell the Bees that I am Gone

Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell's tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his own tenants are split and the war is on his doorstep. It's only a matter of time before the shooting starts.
Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father's identity - and thus his own. Lord John Grey also has reconciliations to make and dangers to meet . . . on his son's behalf, and his own.
Meanwhile, the Southern Colonies blaze, and the Revolution creeps ever closer to Fraser's Ridge. And Claire, the physician, wonders how much of the blood to be spilt will belong to those she loves.

Soon after losing her own daughter in a tragic accident, Hon returns to her childhood home in the Korean countryside after many years away. Her father, a cattle farmer, is elderly and requires her care. He is withdrawn, kind but awkward around his own daughter.
As time passes however, Hon realises that her father is far more complex than she ever realised. The discovery of a chest of letters and conversations with his family and friends help Hon piece together the tumultuous story of his life. She learns of her father's experiences during the Korean War and the violence of the 19th April Revolution; of a love affair and involvement in a religious sect; of his sacrifice and heroism and of the phantoms that haunt him. As she unravels secret after secret, Hon grows closer to her father, realising that his lifelong kindness belies a past wrought in both private and national trauma.
More than just the portrait of one man, I Went to See My Father opens a window onto humankind, family, loss and war. It asks us to look at the ones we love, uncover the secrets they keep, and finally see who they really are. Flawlessly rendered by award-winning translator Anton Hur, Kyung-Sook Shin has crafted a novel both affectionate and epic, joyous and lasting.
