Notre Dame The Soul of France
The profound emotion felt around the world upon seeing images of Notre-Dame in flames opens up a series of questions: Why was everyone so deeply moved? Why does Notre-Dame so clearly crystallise what our civilisation is about? What makes 'Our Lady of Paris' the soul of a nation and a symbol of human achievement? What is it that speaks so directly to us today?
In answer, Agnes Poirier turns to the defining moments in Notre-Dame's history. Beginning with the laying of the corner stone in 1163, she recounts the conversion of Henri IV to Catholicism, the coronation of Napoleon, Victor Hugo's nineteenth-century campaign to preserve the cathedral, Baron Haussmann's clearing of the streets in front of it, the Liberation in 1944, the 1950s film of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, starring Gina Lollobrigida and Anthony Quinn, and the state funeral of Charles de Gaulle, before returning to the present.
The conflict over Notre-Dame's reconstruction promises to be fierce. Nothing short of a cultural war is already brewing between the wise and the daring, the sincere and the opportunist, historians and militants, the devout and secularists. It is here that Poirier reveals the deep malaise - gilet jaunes and all - at the heart of the France.

The Cremator
Groteskní novela Spalovač mrtvol (1967) je psychologickým dramatem, příběhem o muži, který svou práci chápe jako poslání a který v přesvědčení, že činí dobro, ničí své nejbližší. Příběh z doby mnichovské dohody a holocaustu o malém člověku, který se pod vlivem svého mefistofelského přítele a s pocitem své nadřazenosti a nenahraditelnosti stává nástrojem záhuby, který je schopen pro vyšší myšlenku obětovat cokoli, zobrazuje komický obraz rozkladu lidské osobnosti. Tíživá atmosféra napjaté doby násobí všeobecný strach – tak autor zachytil morbidní atmosféru a až neskutečný svět panoptikálních postav.
Stejně jako Mefisto Klause Manna, o člověku šířícím záhubu, je i Spalovač mrtvol příběhem o kariéře jednoho muže.

Škobrtnout o štěstí
Co je to štěstí? ... zeptal se kdysi klasik ... A co byste na to řekli vy? Víte, co je to štěstí?
Daniel Gilbert by se s vámi vsadil, že si myslíte, že víte, ale s největší pravděpodobností se mýlíte. Profesor psychologie na Harvardské univerzitě Daniel Gilbert se nám ve své poutavé a odhalující knize snaží vtipným způsobem a na nám blízkých příkladech z praktického života naznačit, jak moc jsme ovlivněni a často zrazováni naší vlastní myslí a jak nám mohou hranice představivosti stát v cestě za opravdovým štěstím.
Na základě poznatků celého spektra vědních oborů, především psychologie, kognitivní neurovědy, filozofie a behaviorální ekonomie, Gilbert dokazuje, že stejně jako si mylně vybavujeme naši minulost, chybujeme i v našich představách o budoucnosti. V závěru knihy se zabývá otázkou přenosu nesprávných přesvědčení mezi lidmi a uvádí typické příklady obecně rozšířených domněnek o lidském štěstí - hodně peněz, děti, sláva, kariéra a jiné.
Vcelku abstraktní téma hodné akademické debaty je nám zde díky Gilbertově vtipu a mnoha reálným příkladům z běžného života předkládáno živě a zábavně. Věřte nebo ne, mnohým z vás otevře oči a svět už pro vás nikdy nebude stejný.

The Soulmate Equation
Jess Davis is a numbers genius, but when it comes to love she's had to accept there is no magic formula. Juggling a mathematical career with raising her hyper (but adorable) seven-year-old Juno, it's not surprising that her love life is non-existent. Juno has a hunch that her mum would find the perfect man if she stepped out of her comfort zone - but Jess barely has time to make her daughter's lunch, let alone put thought into dating. And when yet another date ends in disaster, she's prepared to give up on love for good. But then she hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new matchmaking company that claims to find you the One using a DNA equation. Suddenly, love doesn't seem quite so far out of reach. Until her test shows an unheard-of 98% compatibility with GeneticAlly's founder, Dr River Pena.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honour the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of 'what do people need?' is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot.

No Rest for the Wicked
A lady’s guide to surviving aboard a pirate ship:
- Dress as a cabin boy.
- Avoid drinking too much rum when the handsome captain is around.
- Do not let the captain kiss you…again.
The last thing Roberta Harcourt needs is to be trapped on a ship with pirates. After she is separated from her father when their ship is attacked, Roberta finds herself the unwilling guest of sinfully handsome Captain Dominic Grey. He gives her two choices: to share his bed and maintain her life as a lady, or she can sleep on the floor of his cabin and live the life of a cabin boy until he decides to set her free. Refusing to be seduced by a pirate, she dresses in breeches and assumes duties on board his ship among the men, but each night, sharing a cabin with the brooding, seductively intense captain, she begins to wonder if letting him kiss her again might be a rule worth breaking…
Dominic lost his innocence long ago when he was kidnapped and sold into indentured servitude in the West Indies. Determined to leave the painful memories of his past behind, he looks only to the future and the next prize he and his crew can capture on the high seas…until he discovers and captures the feisty daughter of a naval admiral. Protecting her from other pirates and preventing her marriage to an English officer is all in a day’s work for a pirate. But Dominic is determined to play the gentleman he once was born to be. He tries to resist the siren’s call of her sweet lips, especially when she’s arguing with him. But damned if the woman wasn’t meant to be a pirate because she’s stealing his heart…

Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test
It's time to leave behind the tired nature-versus-nurture debate. In Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test , Marlene Zuk asks a more fascinating question: How does behaviour evolve, and how is that process similar-and different-in people and animals?
Drawing from a wealth of research, including her own on insects, she explores how genes and the environment work together to produce cockatoos that dance to rock music and ants that heal their injured companions. She follows the different paths cats and dogs took to living with humans and asks whether bees are domestic animals. In exploring intelligence, mating behaviour and fighting disease, Zuk turns to smart spiders, silent crickets and crafty crows. She shows how neither our behaviour nor that of other animals is dictated solely by genes, and that animal behaviour can be remarkably similar to human behaviour-and wonderfully complicated in its own right.
