Mycelium IV - Vidění - audiokniha 2CDmp3
Když se össenská Loď vynoří z R-A prostoru mrtvá, pro Össeany je to důvod ke smutečním obřadům – a pro Pozemšťany drama. Členové posádky, kteří katastrofu přežili, mají být obětováni. Církev se nehodlá vzdát tisíciletých tradic kvůli životům několika lidí z planety, která se jim podřizuje čím dál víc. Lucas Hildebrandt pokusy o záchranu ignoruje. Necítí se jako hrdina, který by měl jednat: je jen stínem svého dřívějšího já, zbavený vůle, závislý na össenských drogách, vyhořelý. A přesto je to právě on, kdo dokáže postřehnout podstatné věci. Tuší, že smrt Lodi je předzvěstí mnohem zásadnějších změn – změn, vůči kterým jsou Pozemšťané slepí. Hrozba, o které se mluví ve starých össenských Knihách, je tady.

Othello
Othello, The Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare based on the short story "Moor of Venice" by Cinthio, believed to have been written in approximately 1603. The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, his wife Desdemona, his lieutenant Cassio, and his trusted advisor Iago. Attesting to its enduring popularity, the play appeared in 7 editions between 1622 and 1705. Because of its varied themes — racism, love, jealousy and betrayal — it remains relevant to the present day and is often performed in professional and community theatres alike. The play has also been the basis for numerous operatic, film and literary adaptations. (From Wikipedia)

The History of the Hobbit
Brand new deluxe edition of this definitive companion to The Hobbit, quarter-bound, stamped in gold foil with a unique design inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's own artwork, featuring a ribbon marker and housed in a matching custom-built slipcase.
The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that 'grew in the telling', and many characters and plot threads in the published text are quite different from the story J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as one of their 'fireside reads'.
Together in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete text of the unpublished manuscript of The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. Recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, he examines - chapter by chapter - why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth.
As well as reproducing the original version of one of the world's most popular novels - both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings - this book includes many little-known illustrations and draft maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive commentaries on the dates of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings.
Endorsed by Christopher Tolkien as a companion to his essential 12-volume The History of Middle-earth, this thoughtful and exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight any who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

The Good Virus
Not all viruses are out to get us - in fact, the viruses that do us harm are vastly outnumbered by viruses that can actually save lives.
At every moment, within your body and all around you, trillions of microscopic combatants are fighting an invisible war. Countless times per second, 'good' viruses known as phages are infecting and destroying bacteria. These phages are the most abundant life form on the planet and have an incredible power to heal rather than harm. So why have most of us never even heard of them?
The Good Virus reveals how personalities, power and politics have repeatedly crashed together to hinder our understanding of these weird and wonderful life forms. We explore why Stalin's Soviet Union embraced using phages to fight disease but the rest of the world shunned the idea. We find out why scientists only recently realised phages are central to all ecosystems on Earth. And we meet the often eccentric phage heroes who have shaped the strange history of this field and are unlocking its exciting future.
Faced with the threat of antibiotic-resistance, we need phages now more than ever. The Good Virus celebrates what phages could do for us and our planet if they are at last given the attention they deserve.

The Gallery of Miracles and Madness
The little-known story of Hitler's war on modern art and the mentally ill.
In the first years of the Weimar Republic, the German psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn gathered a remarkable collection of works by schizophrenic patients that would astonish and delight the world.
The Prinzhorn collection, as it was called, inspired a new generation of artists, including Paul Klee, Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. What the doctor could not have known, however, was that these works would later be used to prepare the ground for mass-murder.
Soon after his rise to power, Hitler-a failed artist of the old school-declared war on modern art. The Nazis staged giant 'Degenerate Art' shows to ridicule the avant-garde, and seized and destroyed the cream of Germany's modern art collections. This action was mere preparation, however, for the even more sinister campaign Hitler would later wage against so-called "degenerate" people, and Prinzhorn's artists were caught up in both.
Bringing together inspirational art history, genius and madness, and the wanton cruelty of the fanatical "artist-Fuhrer", this astonishing story lays bare the culture war that paved the way for Hitler's first extermination programme, the psychiatric Holocaust.

Čierna kniha
Román Orhana Pamuka Čierna kniha (1990) sa označuje za oficiálny koniec realizmu v tureckej literatúre. Okrem kriminálnej zápletky v ňom nájdeme aj postmodernistické pohrávanie sa s identitou a s motívom dvojníkov. Je to gigantické dielo, no v istom zmysle mu chýba pravá románová zápletka. Zjednodušene ho možno charakterizovať takto: Galip sa jedného dňa zobudí a zistí, že mu zmizla manželka. Domnieva sa, že sa vybrala hľadať svojho prvého manžela Dželála, známeho novinára. Galip sa vyberie za Dželálom, lebo si myslí, že cez neho nájde svoju ženu, no s prekvapením zistí, že zmizol aj on. Pátrajúc teraz už po dvoch zmiznutých ľuďoch sa Galip ponorí do Dželálovho života, do jeho novinárskeho písania a postupne aj do jeho identity, až sa stane ním samým. Číta si jeho články a odhalí množstvo doteraz neznámych vecí o sebe, o svojej žene aj o minulosti jej prvého manžela. Od tej chvíle nie je jasné, či máme pred sebou ešte Dželálove reminiscencie, alebo ich Galip reinterpretoval, či rovno prepracoval, prípadne či Galip svoje vlastné slová vydáva za Dželálove. Odrazu nič nie je jasné, všetko sa zahmlieva, zamotáva...
