He comes across a mysterious patch of land, an abandoned five-acre farmstead, which is completely devoid of all life.

Denying the Holocaust
The powerful and deeply disturbing book that was at the heart of the David Irving libel case, now dramatized in the film Denial. The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the Earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. For years those who made such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic fringe. But they have now begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas. In this famous book, reissued now to coincide with the film based on the legal case it provoked, Denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how--despite tens of thousands of witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence--this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement, with 'independent' research centres, and official publications that promote a 'revisionist' view of recent history. Denying the Holocaust argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.

The Queer Art of Failure
The Queer Art of Failure is about finding alternatives-to conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society; to academic disciplines that confirm what is already known according to approved methods of knowing; and to cultural criticism that claims to break new ground but cleaves to conventional archives. Jack Halberstam proposes "low theory" as a mode of thinking and writing that operates at many different levels at once. Low theory is derived from eccentric archives. It runs the risk of not being taken seriously.
It entails a willingness to fail and to lose one's way, to pursue difficult questions about complicity, and to find counterintuitive forms of resistance. Tacking back and forth between high theory and low theory, high culture and low culture, Halberstam looks for the unexpected and subversive in popular culture, avant-garde performance, and queer art. Halberstam pays particular attention to animated children's films, revealing narratives filled with unexpected encounters between the childish, the transformative, and the queer. Failure sometimes offers more creative, cooperative, and surprising ways of being in the world, even as it forces us to face the dark side of life, love, and libido.

The Mutineer: A Romance of Pitcairn Island
The Mutineer: A Romance of Pitcairn Islandby Louis Becke and Walter Jeffery: The tale of the mutiny of His Majesty's armed ship Bounty, which led to the founding of the Pitcairn community, is well known. All that needs to be told here is from Tahiti with a cargo of breadfruit trees for planting in the West Indies, the master's mate, Fletcher Christian, and others of the crew mutinied. Casting adrift the Commander, Lieutenant William Bligh, and eighteen loyal officers in the ship's boat, the mutineers sailed the Bounty back to Tahiti, then to Tubuai in the Austral Group. There, relations with the inhabitants soon deteriorated and, spurred by the fear of discovery and arrest, eight of the mutineers set sail with Christian in search of an uninhabited island, secure from the outside world. To help them the men took with them six Tahitian men and, to look after them and be their consorts, twelve Tahitian women.

Lacná kniha Prabhupáda (-70%)
Tato působivá kniha Satsvarúpy dáse Gósvámího velice poutavě hovoří o životě a učení zcela neobyčejného světce, učence a duchovního učitele moderní doby – A.Č. Bhaktivédanty Svámího Prabhupády. Hnutí, které založil, je známo prakticky po celém světě, ale sám jako osobnost zůstal bez vlastních ambicí pouze v pozadí.
Když Šríla Prabhupáda poprvé potkal svého duchovního učitele, Bhaktisiddhántu Sarasvatího Gósvámího, ihned jím byl požádán, aby rozšiřoval učení Čaitanji Maháprabhua v anglickém jazyce. To, čeho Bhaktivédanta Svámí později dosáhl, pak překvapilo celý svět. V posledních deseti letech svého života, navzdory pokročilému věku, kdy většina lidí myslí už jen na odpočinek, dvanáctkrát procestoval celou zeměkouli, aby ku prospěchu všech lidí předal celému světu poklad védské moudrosti i kultury.
Ať už z pohledu sociologického, filozofického nebo náboženského studia je životní příběh Šríly Prabhupády jedinečným příspěvkem celému lidstvu.
Čtenáře překvapí osobní vlastnosti Šríly Prabhupády – jeho cílevědomost, opravdová pokora a hluboká duchovnost… Život Šríly Prabhupády, jak je zde představen, je ztělesněním ideálu, který předložil k následování i všem ostatním. Ve věku všudypřítomného pokrytectví a cynizmu je to právě takový druh vzácného příkladu, který potřebujeme.

ONE VICTORIAN CITY. ONE MAGICAL UPRISING. ONE BOY CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL.
