Zvláštne šťastie
Len si tak žijete, a zrazu sa začnú diať veci.
Zmizne prezident. A do pohybu sa dá slovenská armáda.
Maxim E. Matkin prichádza po štyroch rokoch s novou knihou, v ktorej aj naďalej skúma milostné vzťahy, lenže tie nie sú nikdy odtrhnuté od spoločnosti a ani od politiky. A politika sa zrazu dotýka aj životov ľudí, ktorí s ňou nemienili mať nič spoločné. Chceli by milovať, baviť sa, dediť, piť, vychovávať, tvoriť a žiť.
Zápletka môže tentoraz pôsobiť až nerealisticky, ale len na prvý pohľad. Lebo všetci tušíme, ako je to naozaj. Žijeme totiž v krajine, kde sa všetci poznajú, veria legendám o svojej miernosti, majú po ruke brokovnice, alkohol, zemiakové placky a mačky aj psov s divnými menami. Je to krajina, kde však nakoniec obyčajne všetko dobre dopadne, lebo Slováci vedia často inštinktívne odhadnúť, kedy sa v kritickej chvíli pozerať opačným smerom a kedy sa urobiť sprostým.
A za dverami našich domovov zatiaľ zúri história.

Lieky, ktoré zmenili svet
Autor tejto knihy, Vladimír Marko, pracoval dlhé dve desaťročia vo farmaceutickom priemysle, a tak ponúka množstvo pozoruhodných, niekedy naozaj kurióznych informácií priamo „z kuchyne“. Čitateľ sa dozvedá, aké svojrázne operácie či liečebné postupy predchádzali napríklad vzniku Viagry, čo považujú odborníci za „jeden z najškodlivejších lekárskych nezmyslov za posledných sto rokov“, a veľa iných zaujímavostí o liekoch, ktoré prepísali históriu medicíny.
Ešte pred sto rokmi veľká časť ochorení znamenala pre pacienta priame ohrozenie života. Pritom nemuselo ísť ani o ťažké choroby, ani o veľké epidémie, niekedy stačila malá ranka na nohe. Dnes už našťastie vieme veľkú väčšinu chorôb úspešne liečiť a táto kniha je o ľuďoch, ktorí sa o to zaslúžili.
V príbehoch z histórie desiatich najvýznamnejších medikamentov je pútavo opísaných množstvo ľudských osudov. Sú to príbehy géniov, ale aj šarlatánov, ľudí plných človečenstva, ale aj kverulantov, cieľavedomých a neúnavných bádateľov, či obyčajných šťastlivcov. Niektorí z nich sa navždy zapísali do histórie ľudstva, na iných sa úplne zabudlo. Vďaka nim sú však choroby, na ktoré sa kedysi zomieralo, často len drobnou epizódou v našom živote.

Loki is...Earth's Mightiest Hero?! After dying a grisly death in WAR OF THE REALMS, the reborn Trickster learned a valuable lesson in warmongering: Don't get caught.

Restless with his new duties, Loki seeks out the advice of the closest thing Midgard has to a king - Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man! Close enough, right? But it turns out that Shell-head isn't too happy to see Loki, on account of all that stuff he did in the past. Now the God of Mischief/Stories/Evil/Chaos has to outsmart the cleverest man on Earth - or die (again) trying. Meanwhile, could Thor be hatching a mischievous plot of his own?

Day to Night Stephen Wilkes
If you were to stand in one spot at an iconic location for 30 hours and simply observe, never closing your eyes, you still wouldn't be able to take in all the detail and emotion found in a Stephen Wilkes panoramic photograph. Not only does Wilkes shoot over 1,500 exposures from a fixed angle, he also distills this visual information afterward in his studio, painstakingly composing selected frames into a single image.
A book that rewards repeated viewings, Day to Night presents 60 ultra-epic panoramas created between 2009 and 2018, shot everywhere from Africa's Serengeti to the Champs- lys es in Paris, from the Grand Canyon to Coney Island, from Trafalgar Square to Red Square. Each image is a labor of love as well as patience. Wilkes waited more than two years to gain permission to photograph Pope Francis celebrating Easter mass in the Vatican, ultimately producing a vivid tableau in which the pontiff appears 10 times. The book also highlights some of the extraordinary details that are an intrinsic part of the final image, works of art in their own right.
Each image takes us on a seamless trip from dawn to dark across the world's most iconic locations, and we discover the unique ebb and flow of man-made and natural landmarks like never before.

Beštia z Buckinghamu
Svetoznámy britský komik a autor detských bestsellerov David Walliams pre vás tentoraz napísal príbeh o naozajstnej beštii. Nie o nejakej obyčajnej oblude. O kráľovskej beštii.
Princ Alfréd nikdy v živote nevyšiel z Buckinghamského paláca, zo sídla kráľovskej rodiny. Krajina je ponorená do tmy, riadi ju lord protektor, lebo kráľ je ako bez života, poriadok ohrozujú sprisahanci a vláda ani parlament už neexistujú. Všetkých strážia hrôzostrašné kráľovské stráže s laserovými puškami. Alfréd pozná vonkajší svet iba z kníh a verí, že všetko je tak, ako hovorí lord protektor a pestúnka. Raz v noci kráľovské stráže odvedú jeho milovanú mamu do Toweru a uväznia ju za vlastizradu. Afréd je odhodlaný zachrániť ju.

Accessory to War
In this fascinating foray into the millennia-long relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist and "the world's best science communicator" (Times Literary Supplement) Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer-researcher Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. "The overlap is strong, and the knowledge flows in both directions", say the authors, because astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same things: multi-spectral detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion and access to space. Tyson and Lang call it a "curiously complicit" alliance. "The universe is both the ultimate frontier and the highest of high grounds", they write. "Shared by both space scientists and space warriors, it's a laboratory for one and a battlefield for the other. The explorer wants to understand it; the soldier wants to dominate it. But without the right technology-which is more or less the same technology for both parties-nobody can get to it, operate in it, scrutinise it, dominate it or use it to their advantage and someone else's disadvantage."
Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, Accessory to War is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry and power that will introduce Tyson's millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our world.

Dare to Lead
In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brene Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.
When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that's necessary to do good work.
Námořnické povídačky
Knížka mohla vzniknout jen díky souhře šťastných okolností. Autor vzpomínek, vysloužilý rakousko-uherský námořník Čeněk Vrba (1888-1968), by se jistě divil, že dostaly právě tuto podobu. Rád své příběhy, které sám nazýval „povídačkami“, vyprávěl a inspiroval tak svého staršího syna Čeňka k tomu, že je nakonec nahrál, aby zůstaly zachovány i potomkům. Nahrávalo se v roce 1962 ještě na starý cívkový magnetofon. Vypravěči tehdy bylo 74 let. Když syn Čeněk v roce 1968 emigroval, dostaly se s ním nahrávky až do Kanady. V osmdesátých letech minulého století jsem získal jejich kopii na magnetofonové kazetě. Stáří původní nahrávky i kopírování způsobily zhoršení kvality už tak nedokonalého zápisu. Bylo třeba přepsat mluvené slovo do písemné podoby, což se podařilo až po mnohonásobném poslechu. Korektury jsem pak dělal ještě podle digitálního přepisu nahrávky, při němž se podařilo, za cenu zkreslení, původní zvuk poněkud vylepšit. I tak se ale nepovedlo přepsat úplně vše. Dlouho jsem přemýšlel, zda bych měl vyprávění publikovat v autentické podobě, nebo zda bych je měl pro tento účel literárně „učesat“. Nakonec zvítězila první varianta. Tam, kde vypravěči nebylo přes opakovaný poslech rozumět, nedoplňoval jsem chybějící slova, ale použil jsem značky v podobě tří pomlček. Tři tečky pro změnu znamenají váhání, formulaci myšlenek, hledání vhodného obratu. V závorkách jsou uváděny nepříliš časté vstupy syna, manželky i jednoho z vnuků, nikoliv však všechny. Jsou většinou zařazeny jen ty otázky či glosy, na něž vypravěč nějak reaguje. Snažil jsem se zachovat co nejvíce z původní atmosféry „povídaček“. Jejich zvukový originál má ovšem své přednosti. Zachycuje i bití hodin, mytí nádobí (vzpomínalo se v kuchyni), štěkot psa i vzdálený hlas kozy, připomínající, že by měla být podojena. Ale i tak snad něco z oné atmosféry zůstalo.

"14. apríl (piatok)
Dáša podpálila svoju izbu. Chcela vedieť, či prídu požiarnici. Hlupaňa! Požiarnikov treba zavolať!"
(úryvok z Piškovho denníka)
Dvojčatá Siso a Piško spolu s mladšou sestrou Dášou sú ako hlavní hrdinovia z akčného filmu. Nečudo, že sa každý deň prihodí niečo, čo pre rodičov nie je práve na zasmiatie. Ustarostená mama sa jedného dňa vyžaluje najlepšej kamarátke, ktorá prišla na návštevu. Tá jej pošepky poradí čosi o útulku. Nezbední súrodenci, ktorí tajne počúvajú za dverami, sa zľaknú a robia všetko pre to, aby sa vyhli svojmu smutnému osudu. Chcú byť lepší a lepší... lenže nie vždy to dobre vypáli...
Koruny Nyaxie 2: Prekliaty kráľ a krvavá koruna
Prekliaty kráľ a krvavá koruna je vyvrcholením dvojdielnej série Koruny Nyaxie, dychberúce pokračovanie Zmije a krídiel noci a duetu Raihna a Oraye v príbehu zlomených sŕdc, vykúpenia, krvavých intríg a stupňujúcej sa akcie.
Po skončení turnaja Kejari sa ukázalo, že všetko, čo Oraya vo svojom živote považovala za pravdu, bola len lož.
Smúti nad zradou Vincenta aj Raihna a je presvedčená, že už nebude dôverovať nikomu, hlavne nie Raihnovi.
Rod temnoty je obklopený nepriateľmi. Šľachtici nie sú príliš horliví, aby prijali premeneného upíra za svojho kráľa, najmä ak kedysi býval otrokom. Navyše hrozí, že Rod krvi zaryje svoje pazúry do kráľovstva a roztrhne ho zvnútra. Keď Raihn ponúkne Orayi tajné spojenectvo, uzavretie dohody je jej jedinou šancou, ako získať späť svoje kráľovstvo a pomstiť sa milencovi, ktorý ju zradil. Aby to však mohla urobiť, bude musieť využiť starodávnu ničivú silu, pevne prepojenú s najväčšími tajomstvami jej otca, a pomoc od bohýň.
Oraya odhaľuje svoju minulosť, čelí svojej budúcnosti a zisťuje, že je nútená vybrať si medzi krvavou realitou uchopenia moci a zničujúcou láskou, ktorá by mohla byť jej pádom.
