T. G. Masaryk and the Jewish Question
Anglický překlad úspěšného titulu prvního polistopadového velvyslance v Izraeli M. Pojara je výsledkem celoživotního zájmu autora o nelehké a dlouhodobě tabuizované téma. Již od samizdatového sborníku "TGM a naše současnost" patří český antisemitismus v širokém kontextu znovu ke zkoumaným tématům, kniha přináší užitečné shrnutí názorů TGM z jeho tvorby a politické činnosti, včetně podrobného popisu historicky první návštěvy hlavy státu v Palestině v r. 1927. Anglické vydání je doplněno předmluvou Shlomo Avineriho a osobní esejí od Petra Pitharta.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (EN)
Audiobook The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, written by Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a dare-devil, a schemer, a prankster, a main-chancer. His inventiveness and energy know no bounds; whenever his Aunt Polly thinks he is tucked up in bed, he is most likely creeping out into the night on deeds of daring – ‘not the Model Boy of the village,’ as the author puts it.

The Satire of Ishmael Reed
Tato kniha se zaměřuje na tvorbu afroamerického spisovatele Ishmaela Reeda a sleduje, jak se napříč jeho padesátiletou románovou tvorbou proměňuje způsob, jímž autor uplatňuje satiru. Přestože je každý Reedův román originálním knižním počinem, v uplatnění satiry lze najít jisté pravidelnosti a vývojové tendence. Zatímco v Reedově rané satiře převládá společenská kritika založená na zobrazení nestandardní sexuality, v jeho současnější satiře (čímž je označována autorova románová tvorba od roku 1993 dále) dominuje společenská kritika založená na argumentaci. Uvedené mody satiry jsou v knize dále propojeny se dvěma druhy amerického rasismu, s rasismem zjevným a skrytým. Kniha dokládá, že spolu s tím, jak se zjevný rasismus stal v americkém společenském diskurzu nepřípustným a byl nahrazen rasismem skrytým, aktualizoval Ishmael Reed svoji satiru, aby i nadále zůstala efektivním modem společenské kritiky. Kniha je určena pro čtenáře z řad odborné i širší veřejnosti, kteří mají zájem o tvorbu Ishmaela Reeda i afroamerickou literaturu obecně. Inspirativní může být i pro ty, jež se zajímají o žánr satiry a její vývoj.
