Games of Thrones

A GAME OF THRONES is the first volume in the series. Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand.

Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.
Filmová fotografie
Černobílá Filmová fotografie Jana Kuděly představuje nesmírně působivé a silné setkání s umělci v situacích, které díky filmové roli nabývají jisté výjimečnosti či ojedinělosti. Herecký výraz pak mnohé vypovídá o atmosféře i duši snímku a bezděčně odhalí i cosi o protagonistech samých. Kuděla sám rozhodně není žádný dokumentarista, nýbrž umělec, který s nebývalou tvůrčí invencí a vnímavostí vystihne a zachytí onen prchavý okamžik, onu vteřinu věčnosti, v níž se zrcadlí duše a jejímž prostřednictvím i vy zažijete „blízká setkání třetího druhu“.

Rodinný sjezd
V Rodinném sjezdu se Ivan Kraus opět vrací do rodinného kruhu a k rodinným legendám, aby nám představil momentky z rodinného alba, z doby, kdy se ten či onen člen rodiny dostal do nechtěného sporu s každodenním šikanováním policejního režimu. Čtenář se zde opět setká se známými postavami rodičů a sourozenců, bude ale zřejmě překvapen citovějším a jímavějším pohledem autora při prolínání tragických a komických momentů. Přes jisté filosofické zmoudření však Kraus v žádném případě neztrácí svůj vtip ani typický smysl pro humor.

Pohřbené zrcadlo
Mexický esejista a romanopisec se v tomto rozsáhlém historicko-kulturním eseji pokouší dobrat kulturní kontinuity hispánského světa, která by dokázala překlenout jeho ekonomické rozdíly a politickou roztříštěnost. Základní metaforou knihy jsou zrcadla (´Zrcadla symbolizují realitu, slunce, zemi a její čtyři světové strany, zemský povrch i hlubiny země a všechny muže a ženy, kteří ji obýváme,´ píše Fuentes), neboť v hrobkách předkolumbovských kultur v okolí Veracruzu byla nalezena pohřbená zrcadla, jež měla zjevně sloužit k orientaci mrtvých při jejich cestě na onen svět.

Lacná kniha Sing you Home
Every life has a soundtrack. "All you have to do is listen. Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter's life. There's the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat
that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant. For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love. In the aftermath of a series
of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people--even those she loves and trust
s most--don't want that to happen. "Sing You Home "is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It's about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it's a
bout what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: "family."

Afro Samurai 1
In a feudal, futuristic Japan, samurai battle to become No.1 and rule the world, but when his father, who holds the coveted position, is challenged and killed, the young Afro Samurai vows vengeance. Relentlessly pursued by murderous assassins, will he stay alive long enough to keep his promise?
This new creator-approved "director's cut" edition of the out-of-print cult classic book features specially commissioned custom covers and a brand-new foreword by Takashi Okazaki.
Japan has become a land of warriors, warlords and assassins, where the technology of the future exits alongside the brutal traditions of the past. This world is ruled by whoever possesses the legendary No.1 headband, which many believe bestows god-like powers on the wearer, but to attain this headband, a warrior must first become No.2, and only then can they challenge for the right to become No.1. But who can challenge the No.2? Everyone! So to be the world's second greatest warrior is to be in a constant fight for survival.
When the boy Afro Samurai's father, Rokutaro, is challenged as No.1 and killed by the No.2, a lethal outlaw known as Justice, he swears revenge, starting on a bloody path of retribution that will make him the No.2 warrior and allow him to challenge Justice.
In the first of two volumes, we see the beginnings of young Afro's quest, his battles with an array of assassins and warlords, that climaxes in the epic confrontation with the powerful Empty Seven Clan and a showdown with an old enemy...
Taking his inspiration from US soul and hip-hop cultures, Okazaki-san originally published Afro Samurai as a serialised, self-published (doujinshi) manga in Nou Nou Hau magazine from November 1998 to September 2002. It was picked up by Funimation and developed as an anime, airing five episodes in 2007, with Afro voiced by Samuel L Jackson and a soundtrack by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. Okazaki-san then created these two manga volumes for the US market, which were published in 2008 and 2009.
Both original English language volumes have been out of print since 2013 and 2016, respectively, and are highly sought after by collectors, selling for $100+.
Afro Samurai's lasting impact can be seen in today's appetite for all things manga and anime, as it was one of the first cross-cultural collaborations that celebrated Asian pop culture and Afro American hip hop, to create an entirely new hybridised visual and musical language.
