Kadanland
V paranoidní atmosféře malého města v bývalých Sudetech, kde je každý něčí spolužák nebo bratranec, se dva kamarádi z dětství snaží skrýt strašlivé tajemství. Vyrůstali spolu v 80. letech na šedivém sídlišti v kraji hor, zmizelých obcí a obřích komínů elektráren. Robert pak vystudoval a oženil se s krásnou spolužačkou, zatímco slaboch a alkoholik Ozzy, vnuk jednoho z posledních kadaňských Němců, nikdy nedospěl a stále jde z průšvihu do průšvihu. Když už ho Robert začíná mít dost, spojí je navždy ten největší, osudový průšvih. Proč zemřel otravný pojišťovák? Proč měl Ozzyho stařičký děda Otto schovanou pistoli?

Imagined Communities
This “sparkling” and world-famous work examines what drives people to live, die, and kill in the name of nations—revealing the surprising origins and development of nationalism (The Guardian).
The full magnitude of Benedict Anderson’s intellectual achievement is still being appreciated and debated. Imagined Communities remains the most influential book on the origins of nationalism, filling the vacuum that previously existed in the traditions of Western thought. Cited more often than any other single English-language work in the human sciences, it is read around the world in more than thirty translations.
Written with exemplary clarity, this illuminating study traces the emergence of community as an idea to South America, rather than to nineteenth-century Europe. Later, this sense of belonging was formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, through print, literature, maps and museums. Following the rise and conflict of nations and the decline of empires, Anderson draws on examples from South East Asia, Latin America and Europe’s recent past to show how nationalism shaped the modern world.

Naturalista
Profesor bioinformatiky Theo Cray vidí niečo aj tam, kde iní nevidia nič...
Do Theovej motelovej izby sa dobýjajú policajti. V srdci montanských hôr sa od nich dozvedá, že jeho bývalú študentku Juniper, ktorá neďaleko pracovala na vlastnom výskume, roztrhal medveď. Vlastne to mohlo byť aj inak, preto je Theo podozrivý z vraždy. Našťastie sa všetko vysvetlí, ale Theovi prípad akosi nedá pokoj a má pocit, že policajtom čosi uniká. Začne pátrať na vlastnú päsť a po čase je presvedčený, že hrozný čin nespáchalo zviera. Policajti však vôbec neberú do úvahy jeho teórie, že vrah je mimoriadne prefíkaný, zručný a určite neudrel prvý raz. Theo cíti, že záhadné a silné monštrum nezastaví nič, len on sám. Rozhodne sa naprogramovať počítačový model, ktorý by mu prezradil možné miesta predchádzajúcich, doteraz nezistených vrážd. Pomocou svojho programu rýchlo nájde ďalšiu mŕtvolu, potom ďalšiu a ďalšiu. Policajti mu však stále neveria. Theo je krok pred nimi a neváha použiť všetky svoje vedomosti a zručnosti, aby sa dostal vrahovi na stopu. Uvedomí si, že to zvládne len tak, ak bude premýšľať ako predátor, ktorého hľadá, a sám sa nestane jeho obeťou.

Chronicling the traditions of Chinese life and culture, The Art of Chinese Living is a visual cornucopia and an epic cultural immersion into everything from cuisine and history to art and rituals, calligraphy and music to artefacts and interiors, and from widespread national traditions to the minutiae of daily family life.
Spanning over 1,100 stunning pages and divided into the four seasons, this lavish four-volume set in a cloth-bound slipcase is alive with culture.

In the words of the author, 'This volume of books is a gift to all the Chinese people, as well as all who have a love for Chinese culture.

No Plan B
The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.
When your name is Jack Reacher, the truth is always worth doing time for.
Gerrardsville, Colorado. One tragic event. Two witnesses. Two conflicting accounts. One witness sees a woman throw herself in front of a bus - clearly suicide. The other witness is Jack Reacher. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushing the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away.
Reacher follows the killer, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed.
Because when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B...

Poselství hor
Obrazy a myšlenky této knihy chtějí ukázat vnitřní bohatství hor. Obracejí se na poutníka a horolezce, který ve výšinách hledá více než fitness, výkon, kyslík, opálení do bronzova či skleničku u baru v horském hotelu.
Jakožto nadšený horolezec jsem se na horách potkal s mnoha lidmi, říká biskup Reinhold Stecher, po desítky let jsem s mládeží prožíval nezapomenutelné týdny na ledu a na skále, a proto si troufám tvrdit: Mnoho cest vede k Bohu - jedna prochází horami.
Marek Orko Vácha o knize napsal:
Reinhold Stecher nás především a mezi řádky učí umění meditace. Když v evangeliích čteme, jak tématem podobenství se stává rozsévač, pole bílá ke žním, pozvání na svatbu nebo dělníci na vinici, ke Stecherovi takto mluví horské louky, západy slunce, nebo i horolezecká přilba či staré lano; to vše mu zpívá o Bohu, a v horském křišťálu, v tichu nebo mrazivých nocích objevuje stopy Boží. Slovy žalmisty, v této knize nebesa zpívají o Boží slávě a dílo jeho rukou zvěstuje obloha. A biskup Stecher nás zve, abychom, kdekoli jsme, na horách, v nížinách, v každé vteřině našich životů, ono tiché a prastaré vypravování nebes zaslechli a nechali se jím vést.
