Queer Encounters with Communist Power
How did the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia approach non-heterosexuality? How did young girls and boys come to realize their queer desires and identities within a state known for repressing individuality? What did they do with that self-awareness—and later on, as adults, what strategies did they employ in their everyday dealings with a state that defined homosexuality as a medical diagnosis?

"Szerettem vele dolgozni. Nem volt bennem görcs, drukk a forgatásokon. Úgy éreztem, ha ő rám bíz egy szerepet, akkor képesnek tart az eljátszására. Persze nem akartam neki csalódást okozni szerettem volna látni, hogy elégedett velem. Szerettem volna megszolgálni a bizalmát, és én is a legmesszebbmenőkig bíztam benne: az értékítéletében, az instrukcióiban, az ízlésében, a tudásában, a tapintatában, a szeretetében. Sokat kaptam és tanultam tőle.
Gyerekkoromban az egész család ott ült a tv előtt, amikor leadták az új filmjét. Izgultunk, hogy siker legyen! Akkor azt hittem, természetes, hogy a nézők a rendező miatt néznek egy tv-flmet. Csak később jöttem rá, hogy mekkora szó, hogy az ő neve azt is jelentette a tv előtt ülőknek, hogy parádés szereposztásban láthatják a magyar és a világirodalom remekeinek az eredetihez hű és alázatos adaptációit úgy, hogy a filmek mégis az ő kézjegyét viselték.
Büszke voltam rá és vagyok ma is, amikor a csatornák ennyi év után is, sűrűn játsszák ezeket a filmeket. Elképzelem, ha élne, aggódva nézné az új és új vetítéseket, filmje vajon kiállja-e az idő próbáját, vajon nem lassú-e, vajon lépést tud-e tartani az azóta rohanó világgal?! Élete utolsó éveiben is ezeket a kérdéseket tette fel, ha leadták egy-egy régebbi művét. Mit szólna akkor most, két évtizeddel később? A világ változott, felgyorsult, de a nézők még mindig szívesen nézik a Fekete várost, az Abigélt, a Feleletet, a Csongor és Tündét, az Othello Gyulaházánt és sorolhatnám.
Ezzel a könyvvel emlékeztetni és emlékezni szerettünk volna a Magyar Televízió egy letűnt, talán soha vissza nem térő gazdag korszakára, a fantasztikus színészekre, a remek szakemberekre és a kor egyik legnépszerűbb rendezőjére, akit úgy emlegettek: A Zsurzs.
De akik vele dolgoztak, azoknak Évike, az unokáinak pedig a Mami volt." (Zsurzs Katalin)

Secrets So Deep
From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and mystery.
Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves - the ghosts from an old whaling village - called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have.
Avril has spent the past twelve years trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally discover what really happened to her mother.
As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And Avril keeps meeting herself - and her dead mother - late at night, at the edge of the ocean.
The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost . . .

The Tablet of Destinies
An immersive and mesmerizing narrative that reimagines the Mesopotamian myth of the Great Flood
A long time ago, the gods grew tired of humans and decided to send a flood to destroy them. But Ea, the god of fresh underground water, didn't agree. He advised one of his devotees, Utnapishtim, to build a quadrangular boat to house humans and animals, and saved these living creatures from the Flood.
Rather than punish Utnapishtim for his disobedience, Enlil, King of the gods, granted the mortal eternal life and banished him to the island of Dilmun. Thousands of years later, when Sinbad the Sailor is shipwrecked and arrives on that very same island, the two begin a conversation about courage, loss, salvation and sacrifice.
Deprese a naděje
Druhá světová válka a odboj proti nacismu stále patří mezi lákavá témata české literatury. Většinou je ale její pozornost soustředěna na události zahraniční, neboť tam byly oprávněně hledány kořeny pozdějšího politického vývoje Domácí odboj byl a je vnímán jako něco druhořadého a méně významného. Takové vnímání vedlo k současnému společenskému vědomí, že domácí rezistence v období okupace byla nepatrná a nevýznamná. Od těchto myšlenek již není daleko k úvahám, že pocit trvalého útisku a malosti českého národa je jeho trvalou vlastností, že národní hrdost nám není vlastní a je vlastně zbytečná. Historická kontinuita se v naši myslí vytrácí, což dokumentuje skutečnost, že jména padlých z domácího odboje, po nichž jsou nazvány mnohé ulice Brna, jsou dnes již mnohdy anonymní. Většina již netuší po kom je nazvána Burešova, Kamanova, Štolcova, Hudcova, Lužova, Kudeříkové nebo Uhrova. K těmto jmenovaným se řadí tisíce dalších, kteří byli za okupace spojení pojivy ilegálních sítí a mnoha odbojovými činy, dnes již zapomenutými.
Odbojáři Brněnska měli svou činnost ztíženu, neboť v Brně působila řídící úřadovna gestapa pro Moravu, která si ve městě a jejím okolí vytvořila silné pozice a obě složky, jak odbojová tak potlačovací sváděly mnohdy skryté a tvrdé souboje, jejichž konečným výsledkem byli mrtví na obou stranách. Bohužel, těch mrtvých na straně domácího odboje bylo mnohem více. Téma odboje bylo po válce využíváno v různých formách k dobové propagandě, jednou levé, jindy pravé.
Proto mnohá témata tohoto boje zůstala zastřena a ani dnes, po více než 70 letech od ukončení války, není zájem se k nim vracet. Publikace Deprese a naděje vypráví o mnoha mužích a ženách Brněnska, o jejich odbojových formacích, kteří s trvalou depresí okupace a mnoha nadějemi, leckdy marnými, se pokusili vzepřít nepřízni doby, ve které žili. Přesto do tohoto boje šli.
