Vendredi ou la vie sauvage
Robinson, parti faire fortune en Amérique du Sud échoue, au gré d'un naufrage, sur une île déserte, que nulle carte ne signale. Il s'aperçoit alors très vite qu'il ne doit s'en remettre qu'à lui-même et à son ingéniosité pour survivre, dans une nature pas toujours très accueillante. Comment parviendra-t-il à supporter sa solitude ? Arrivera-t-il à imposer ses règles d'homme civilisé à cette nature sauvage et à la domestiquer ou bien est-ce elle, finalement, qui aura le dernier mot ? Michel Tournier avait déjà repris la célèbre aventure de A. Selkirk, le Robinson Crusoé du roman de Defoe, dans Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, en y ajoutant une forte dimension philosophique. Vendredi ou la vie sauvage garde cette dimension, même s'il s'agit d'une adaptation pour les enfants. Il faut sans doute l'éclairage d'un adulte pour en tirer toute la richesse. Mais c'est aussi un livre d'apprentissage plus pratique : comment construire un arc et tailler des flèches, comment parler grâce au langage des mains, ou comment construire des règles de vie, nécessaires à toute communauté. Enfin, avec l'apparition de Vendredi dans l'univers de Robinson, les enfants pourront saisir toute la complexité des relations humaines et combien la présence d'autrui nous est nécessaire et même indispensable. --Xavier Marciniak

Prečo padne chlieb vždy maslovou stranou nadol?
Asi najznámejší zo všetkých zákonov je Murphyho zákon. Tróni nad všetkými ostatnými ako nežiaduci hosť. Nech už sa pohybujeme v akejkoľvek oblasti, zakaždým sa niečím pripomenie, podrazí, zdrží, znechutí. Čím viac sa usilujeme, tým horšie pre nás. Takých zákonov, ako sú Murphyho, je však, samozrejme, viac. Napríklad: Keď raz odbočíme nesprávnym smerom, potom to už robíme sústavne. Alebo: Ľudia, ktorí nosia klobúky, oplešivejú. Ale čo ak je všetko inak? Čo ak klobúky nosia plešiví ľudia, pretože im je zima na hlavu? Naivný vedec však neverí, že na hlavu môže byť zima. (On však má, samozrejme, husté vlasy.) Má aj hmlistú predstavu, že to, čo sa zakrýva, zvyčajne hynie. Rastliny a zvieratá trpia, tak prečo nie aj vlasy? Klobúk dolu pred naivným vedcom!

Něco bylo ve tmě, co nebylo vidět
Povídkový soubor belgického spisovatele. Jednotlivé texty rozhodně nespojuje nějaká myšlenka všeobjímajícího humanismu. Je to naopak zvrácenost a absurdita a také variace na postavu Minitrip - robinzonku s osudem mučednice, jež se stává patologickým naplněním jednoho erotického snu. Ozvěny stěžejních dějinných okamžiků 20. století i rozestřená prezentace velkých témat moderního světa se prolínají všemi povídkami.

Look No Further
The Parent Trap meets The Vanishing Half in Rioghnach Robinson and Siofra Robinson’s Look No Further, a gripping YA novel about estranged siblings who meet for the first time at art camp and confront their differing experiences of race and identity.
When 17-year-old Niko and 15-year-old Ali meet at Ogilvy Summer Art Institute, a selective camp for art students in New York City, they seem like complete opposites. Ali comes across as standoffish to laid-back Niko, who feels like a fish out of water surrounded by so many type-A peers. So when a teacher assigns them as pairs for a genealogy project, Ali and Niko are shocked to find they have a lot more in common than they bargained for.
As the pair embark on a quest to uncover their shared history, Ali finds herself falling for her roommate—who may have already fallen for another girl at Ogilvy—and surfer-bro Niko struggles to find his footing in the glamorous NYC art scene. Soon they’re both questioning their preconceptions about the world and each other. But only when they face real heartbreak can they accept the most transformative revelation of all: the best art is what you make, not just what you see.
