Neberte mi ilúzie
Po dvoch publikáciách venovaných detskému klientovi prichádza na knižné pulty príbeh Martiny, mladej ženy a matky dvoch malých detí, ktorej panická úzkostná porucha a postupne sa vynárajúca obsedantná obranná línia neumožňovali viesť plnohodnotný a c
itovo bohatý život.
Autorku, klinickú psychologičku a psychoterapeutku, pri práci s Martinou oslovila ľahkosť klientkinho asociatívno-symbolického vyjadrovania vnútorných psychických obsahov, preto sa jadrom terapeutickej liečby stávala katatýmno-ima
ginatívna terapia, ktorá konceptuálne vychádza z tradície európskej hlbinnej psychológie. Pri použití tejto metódy terapeut vyvoláva u uvoľneného klienta, pohodlne sediaceho v kresle, imagináciu, podobnú dennému snu. Za zatvorenými očami sa klientovi
objavujú obrazové scenérie, v ktorých sa môže pohybovať, akoby to bola skutočnosť, preto na mnohé reaguje silným emočným pohnutím. Terapeut klienta sprevádza empatickým vciťovaním, udržiava s ním dialóg a podľa určitých pravidiel denný sen môže ovpl
yvňovať.
Prezentovaná štúdia prináša jedinečný a ucelený pohľad na prácu s imagináciami, ktoré sa postupne dostávali na tie miesta v psychike klientky, ktoré boli dlho neoslovené, ale energizovali nástup úzkostných záchvatov. Imaginácie majú úžasnú m
oc. Vedia symbolickým, veľmi šetrným a dôstojným spôsobom stvárniť problém klienta, odhaliť konflikty v ego organizácii. Dostávajú sa veľmi hlboko, až do zážitkov raného detstva a sprítomňujú aj silné, tzv. zdrojové možnosti klienta. A to všetko sa o
dohráva v dôležitom priestore rozvíjajúceho sa terapeutického vzťahu.
Publikácia prezentuje malú symbolickú drámu premeny éterickej, porcelánovej dievčiny na harmonickú ženu s autentickým popisom liečebného procesu a sprevádzania terapeutom. Martina
, ktorá si dlho tvrdohlavo niesla a chcela udržať dievčenský ego ideál, ho počas terapie opatrne a chvíľami bolestivo ako masku odkladá, aby sa mohla stať autonómnou a emočne bohatou ženou.

The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry
Reflecting the voices of poets, soldiers, the families they left behind and their comrades who would never return, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, previously published as In Flanders Fields, is edited with an introduction by George Walter in Penguin Classics.
Unrivalled for its range and intensity, the poetry of the First World War continues to have a powerful effect on readers. This anthology reflects the diverse experience of those who lived through the war - bringing together the words of poets, soldiers and civilians affected by the conflict. Including famous verses from Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen; pieces by less well-known writers such as Gilbert Frankau and Osbert Sitwell; works by women describing the emotions of those at home; and the anonymous lyrics of soldiers' songs, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry offers a blend of voices that is both unique and profoundly moving.
This collection has been arranged thematically, moving through the war's different stages from conscription through to its aftermath, to offer the reader a variety of perspectives on the same common experiences. George Walter's introduction discusses the role and scope of First World War poetry anthologies, and how the canon has changed over the years. This edition also contains notes and biographies.
George Walter is Lecturer in English at Sussex University. His research interests are 20th-century literature; madness and creativity; constructions of Englishness; the cultural impact of the First World War. He has edited editions of the poet Ivor Gurney's work for Everyman and Fyfield Books.
If you enjoyed The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, you might also like Robert Graves' Goodbye to All That, available in Penguin Modern Classics.
Leonardo. The Complete Paintings and Drawings
Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture - and more. Simultaneously captivating art historians, collectors, and the millions who flock yearly to admire his works, Leonardo's appeal is as diffuse as were his preoccupations. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture - The Vitruvian Man is engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supper is considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisa has entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.

No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his latest action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue featuring the inimitable Gabriel Allon.
She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and charitable works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England.

Gabriel's target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who sells his services to the highest bidder. Fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone; at his side is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows Quinn's murderous handiwork all too well.
And though Gabriel does not realize it, he is stalking an old enemy-a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will find it necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its distinct advantages....

Bruce Lee A Life
More than forty years after Bruce Lee's sudden death at age 32, journalist and author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee's life. It's also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee's family, friends, business associates and even the mistress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon.
There are his early years as a child star in Hong Kong cinema; his actor father's struggles with opium addiction and how that turned Bruce into a troublemaking teenager who was kicked out of high school and eventually sent to America to shape up; his beginnings as a martial arts teacher, eventually becoming personal instructor to movie stars like Steve McQueen; his struggles as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood and frustration seeing role after role he auditioned for go to white actors in eye makeup; his eventual triumph as a leading man; his challenges juggling a sky-rocketing career with his duties as a father and husband; and his shocking end that to this day is still shrouded in mystery.
Polly breaks down the myth of Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with martial arts-not a great kung-fu master who just so happened to make a couple of movies. The book offers an honest look at an impressive yet flawed man whose personal story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictional role he played on-screen.

Flush
Flush was an English cocker spaniel who belonged to the nineteenth-century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Virginia Woolf learned of him from the love letters Elizabeth wrote to her future husband, fellow poet Robert Browning, and found `the figure of their dog made me laugh so, I couldn't resist making him a Life.' The resulting `biography' combines sensuous imaginative description with sharp social comment, and brings Woolf's unsentimental humour and insight to the fore. We see Flush as loyal confidant to Elizabeth on her sickbed at Wimpole Street, and from his jealous perspective we witness her courtship by Browning, their elopement and new life in Italy.
The perfect accessible introduction to Woolf's genius, a unique blend of fact and fiction, Flush is perhaps best read in the company of a canine companion. This edition includes the four original illustrations by Vanessa Bell and an afterword by Margaret Forster. Cover designed by the award-winning Finnish designer Aino-Maija Metsola
Therion - Leviathan III CD
Therion (predtým Blitzkrieg a Megatherion) je švédska symfonická metalová skupina založená Christoferom Johnssonom v roku 1987. Jej názov bol inšpirovaný albumom Celtic Frost To Mega Therion. „To Mega Therion“ je grécky výraz pre „The Great Beast“ a bol to názov, ktorý používal okultista Aleister Crowley.[1][2] Pôvodne death metalová skupina Therion upravila svoj hudobný štýl pridaním orchestrálnych prvkov vrátane zborov, klasických hudobníkov a dokonca aj celého orchestra na ich koncertných vystúpeniach. Vďaka tomu sú považovaní za priekopníkov žánru symfonického metalu. Therion berie svoje námety pre texty z rôznych mytológií a praktík, vrátane okultizmu, mágie a starovekých tradícií a spisov.
Švédske legendy symfonického metalu sa vrátili, aby predviedli ďalšie majstrovské dielo – naplnenie trilógie Leviathan. S viac ako 35 rokmi bola kapela okolo hlavného myslenia Christofera Johnssona jednou z prvých, ktorá v 90. rokoch skombinovala metal so symfonickými a orchestrálnymi prvkami, a dnes je považovaná za jedného z najštýlovejších zakladateľov symfonického metalu. Teraz kapela pokračuje vo svojom odkaze vydaním tretieho dielu trilógie Leviathan, Leviathan III, ktorý vyjde 15. decembra 2023 prostredníctvom Napalm Records. Kapela pokračuje vo svojej všestrannej a štýlovo kombinovanej hudobnej ceste, ktorú tvorí aj základná línia jej predchodcov Leviathan a Leviathan II.

The English Understand Wool
A modern amorality play about a 17-year-old girl, the wilder shores of connoisseurship, and the power of false friends
Maman was exigeante?there is no English word–and I had the benefit of her training. Others may not be so fortunate. If some other young girl, with two million dollars at stake, finds this of use I shall count myself justified.
Raised in Marrakech by a French mother and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to avoid mauvais ton ("bad taste" loses something in the translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month abroad. One must play the piano; if staying at Claridge’s, one must regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite, so that the necessary hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests. One should cultivate weavers of tweed in the Outer Hebrides but have the cloth made up in London; one should buy linen in Ireland but have it made up by a Thai seamstress in Paris (whose genius has been supported by purchase of suitable premises). All this and much more she has learned, governed by a parent of ferociously lofty standards. But at 17, during the annual Ramadan travels, she finds all assumptions overturned. Will she be able to fend for herself? Will the dictates of good taste suffice when she must deal, singlehanded, with the sharks of New York?
Virgin Soil
VIRGIN SOIL by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is his last and longest novel. In it he finally says everything yet unsaid on the subject of social change, idealism and yet futility of revolutions, serfs and peasants, and the upper classes. The hero, Nezhdanov -- the disillusioned young son of a nobleman -- and the Populist movement are young idealists working to bridge the gap between the common people and the nobility, and through them Turgenev works out his own troubled thoughts about social reform and tradition, vitality and stagnation. The ideas of gradual reform shown here are eventually to be supplanted by the extremism of the Russian Revolution -- but that is yet to come.

Lacná kniha Posledné dni Alberta Camusa
José Lenzini, dlhoročný novinár alžírskeho pôvodu, zanietený camusológ sa už vyše dvadsať rokov špecializuje na Alberta Camusa, najmladšieho nositeľa Nobelovej ceny za literatúru 1957 a jeho dielo. V knihe venovanej Camusovi približuje chronológiu posledných dní života známeho spisovateľa originálnym spôsobom, vnáša svetlo do jeho politickej angažovanosti, nevyhýba sa ani nehanebným útokom jeho protivníkov, zakladá si na precíznych faktoch, na svedectve Camusových blízkych priateľov a kolegov, na dôvažok ich podopiera Camusovými spomienkami a citátmi z jeho diela, čím sa usiluje oživiť, respektíve podnietiť záujem o jeho tvorbu. Lenzini objasňuje aj spisovateľove pochybnosti o vlastnej schopnosti dokončiť rozpísaný autobiografický román Prvý človek, ktorý sa našiel v aktovke po tragickej nehode, ba i okolnosti, za ktorých sa ho ako „cudzinca“ usilovali zdiskreditovať parížski intelektuáli na čele so Sartrom, zdôrazňujúc, že si plne zaslúži rehabilitáciu. Veď ktorý spisovateľ lepšie vystihol svoju dobu a hodnotu ľudského života než odhodlaný humanista Camus, presvedčený, že „nijaká idea nestojí za to, aby sa pre ňu zabíjalo“?

Vyzlečená z ľudí
Vyzlečená z ľudí sa vŕta, opisuje, hľadá. Ukazuje, ako vyzerá život s uzavretou mysľou a ukazuje aj východiská. Pretože východisko nie je iba slovo, ale aj zhmotnená vízia. Viaceré texty v tejto zbierke nie sú (iba) poviedkami. V každom z nich však ide o to podstatné. Nebáť sa ukázať tvár a svoje vnútro, postaviť sa za seba, za svoje ideály, neuskočiť pred výzvou. Ukázať svoju inakosť. Dovoliť si cítiť a dovoliť si o svojich pocitoch rozprávať. Hľadať krásu. Vnímať fantastiku, prideliť jej rovnocenné miesto vedľa reality a pomocou nej šťastnejšie žiť. Čitateľom prajem, aby aspoň niektoré texty v nich rozozvučali strunu, aby ich pohladili, aby odkryli veci tušené, ale nepriznané a aby tie isté veci, už pomenované a na slnku ohriate, vliali do nich silu, nádej, vieru. Ak ich sem-tam aj rozosmejú, viac nepotrebujem.

Lacná kniha 1000 Chairs, updated version (-50%)
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era.
From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet’s bentwood chairs and Hoffmann’s sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair and Ron Arad’s avant-garde armchairs. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating.
This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors!
