Heroes
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry gloriously retells the epic myths of the Greek heroes - which will be loved by young and old alike.
'This is a spirited retelling of stories that Fry clearly knows and loves' The Times
___________
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales.
Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.

Kolotoč
Zbierka aforizmov, sentencií, inovovaných prísloví a hlavne fejtónov a poviedok Kolotoč inklinuje najväčšmi k Beňovej knižke z roku 1995 Na svoj národ nedám dopustiť. Rôznorodosť, tematická šírka, nevšednosť aforizmov a sentencií ťažia aj z hektického politika dneška, no autorovu pozornosť pútajú aj podoby a skutočnosti sveta z celkom iného súdka – postrehy, detaily i filozofujúce maximy. Vo fejtónoch sa zameriava na nekompromisné parodovanie úpadku kultúrnych i spoločenských hodnôt, na svojské spektrum tráum, anomálií a necností zrodených dobou. V jednej z piatich poviedok príde do slovenského parlamentu aj Sokrates. Satiru v nich podfarbuje humor, absurdita i nonsens, živé rozprávačstvo dopĺňa premyslená fabulácia a výrazová koncentrovanosť. Ján Beňo roztočil pre čitateľov všetkých vekových skupín pestrý a živý invenčný a slovesne kultivovaný Kolotoč...

Dočasné předměty / Temporary Objects
Kniha-objekt, sestávající ze sedmi samostatných částí, propojuje fotografické médium s fenoménem autorské knihy a pohrává si s nelineárním obsahem a způsoby čtení. Kopasz v projektu Dočasné předměty / Temporary Objects navazuje na své dřívější experimenty s formami osobních deníkových záznamů. Pracuje konceptuálně s jedním výchozím objektem, který analyzuje a dekonstruuje prostřednictvím nejrůznějších fotografických i dalších výtvarných technik.
Na listech papíru sedmi sešitů či modulů autorské knihy sleduje vizuální a významové analogie a obrazy ukládá do vztahových konstelací. Místy přidává stručné textové komentáře. Bezprostředně zahlédnuté interakce podrobuje opakovaným rozvahám nad rolí konkrétního a abstrahovaného, celku a detailu, nad mírou osobních referencí a sdílené zkušenosti. Teprve pak je usadí do systému, který má překračovat řád posloupnosti a kauzality. V každém sešitě tak narážíme nejen na vzájemně provázané sekvence, ale rovněž na nečekané střihy a zvraty.
The book-object, consisting of seven separate parts, connects the photographic medium with the phenomenon of the author's book and plays with non-linear content and ways of reading. Kopasz's project Dočasné předměty / Temporary Objects builds on his earlier experiments with forms of personal diary entries. He works conceptually with one initial object, which he analyses and deconstructs through various photographic and other artistic techniques.
He traces visual and semantic analogies on the sheets of paper of the seven notebooks or modules of the artist's book, placing the images in relational constellations. In places he adds brief textual commentaries. He subjects immediately glimpsed interactions to repeated reflections on the role of the concrete and the abstract, the whole and the detail, and the degree of personal reference and shared experience. Only then does he settle them into a system that is meant to transcend the order of sequence and causality. Thus, in each workbook we encounter not only interrelated sequences, but also unexpected cuts and twists.
The Essential Chomsky
For the past forty years, Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States. Chomsky's many bestselling works - including "Manufacturing Consent", "Hegemony or Survival", "Understanding Power", and "Failed States" - have served as essential touchstones for dissidents, activists, scholars, and concerned citizens on subjects ranging from the media to human rights to intellectual freedom.In particular, Chomsky's scathing critiques of the U.S. wars in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East have furnished a widely accepted intellectual inspiration for antiwar movements over nearly four decades. "The Essential Chomsky" assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts over the past forty years. Here is an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of Chomsky's thought.
