We, Hominids
The Dutch bestseller
Nominated for Le Prix Nicolas Bouvier
WHO ARE WE? WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT FROM ANIMALS? WHAT MAKES US HUMAN?
In this charming, thought-provoking book, one of Holland's greatest non-fiction writers hunts down answers to humanity's most fundamental questions: Who are we? What makes us different from animals? With an ancient skull as his starting point, he travels the globe, tracing the search for the first human being: the missing link between humans and apes.
Westerman introduces us to the world of skull hunters – leading experts in our fossil ancestry – whose lives are just as fascinating as those of their primeval discoveries. He astutely reconsiders the work of illustrious paleoanthropologists in the light of new DNA technology, postcolonialism, and the rise of women in this male-dominated field. Westerman discovers a plethora of origin hypotheses and shows how any theory of who we are and where we come from is coloured by the zeitgeist.
We, Hominids is a compelling mixture of reportage, travelogue and essay – reminiscent of Bruce Chatwin or Ryszard Kapuscinski – written by a brilliant storyteller and thinker.

Lacná kniha Tichošlap (-90%)
Knihy Sylvy Lauerové mají mnoho nadšených příznivců. Je o nich totiž známo, že čtenáře přímo zavalí energií ukrytou v příběhu. Ať se jim to líbí, nebo ne. Snad proto je na místě upozornění, že tento román vás opět nebude šetřit. Je ponurý, tajemný a plný tichých paradoxů našeho života.
Šest dní, paralelní svět podzemí pražského metra, pět životních příběhů, které spojuje jen jedno - tiché kolíbavé kroky muže bez minulosti. Tři osudová setkání, lehce přehlédnutelná ve spěchu každodenního života.
Pokud by v české literatuře existoval žánr komorního thrilleru, pak by se Tichošlap mohl stát čestným zástupcem této literární kategorie. Sylva Lauerová nabízí svým čtenářům opět něco zcela nového. Delikátní, mrazivý i lidský román.
Hlavní linie příběhu je pečlivě uschována za každodenními obrazy obyčejných lidských životů - nezralé, nešťastné a samu sebe hledající Anety, zamilovaného a ambiciózního podnikatele Pavla, dominantní, úspěšné a citově okoralé galeristky Sonji a dvou starých žen. Životů, které spojuje jen jedno - přítomnost tichých kolíbavých kroků muže bez minulosti. Muže, který nemluví. Muže, který se ke spánku ukládá v temné místnosti starého činžovního domu a nekonečné hodiny tráví v prostorách pražského metra. Co v něm hledá? Co jej nutí nutí žít v paralelním světě mnoho desítek metrů pod zemí?
Lauerová si ponechává svůj sugestivní a autentický literární styl, tentokrát jej však obohacuje o nový, pozvolný a temný poetizující odstín, který dává románu Tichošlap zcela osobitý ráz.
