Siege and Storm - Ostrom és vihar
Az Igaz-tengeren át menekülő Alina, akit a Zónában meggyilkoltak szellemei kísértenek, új életet kezd Mallal egy ismeretlen földön, miközben igyekszik titokban tartani napidéző voltát. Ám sokáig nem hagyhatja maga mögött sem a múltját, sem a sorsát.
Az Éjúr rettenetes új hatalom birtokában hagyta el az Árnyzónát, és veszedelmes tervet sző, ami a végsőkig próbára teszi a természeti világ határait. Alina egy hírhedt kalóz segítségével visszatér s szeretett országba, hogy elszántan szembeszálljon a Ravkára törő erőkkel.
De ahogy a hatalma növekszik, Alina úgy süllyed egyre mélyebbre a tiltott mágiába és az Éjúr játszmájába, és távolodik el egyre jobban Maltól.
Választania kell hazája, a hatalom és a szerelem között, amiről mindig úgy hitte, az vezérli - különben azt kockáztatja, hogy mindent elveszít a közelgő viharban.
Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy - Art Cartography in the Centre of Europe 1960-2011
Medzinárodný výstavný projekt MAPY / MAPS (Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy 1960-2011) prezentuje známe, menej známe aj doteraz nevystavené diela autorov tvoriacich v 60. a 70. rokoch 20. storočia v oblasti konceptuálneho umenia a land-artu, v 80. rokoch aj v maľbe a fotografii, reflektuje neo-konceptuálne tendencie objektu a inštalácie v 90. rokoch 20. storočia. Výberovo predstavuje aj mladú generáciu autorov, ktorí mapu a princíp mapovania, sietí, ciest, myslenia a výskumu pomocou mapy často využívajú ako metaforu samotnej tvorby diela. Mapy sa stali v umení uplynulých päťdesiatych rokov dôležitým nositeľom kultúrnych významov ako médium utopických vízií, mentálnych archeológií, futurologických projektov či projekcií teritoriálnych alebo politických frustrácií.
V umeleckohistorickej sonde výstava sleduje na "mape" diel viac ako päťdesiatich autorov vzťah umelcov ku každodennej realite, počnúc prelínaním umenia a života v neoavantgardných tendenciách 60. rokov až po priamočiaru manifestáciu života v umení umožnenú novými médiami. Mapuje kartografické interpretácie na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne v konfrontácii s vybranými dielami autorov z ostatných krajín V4: Česka, Poľska a Maďarska.
Výstava je zostavená chronologicky, a zároveň tematicky. Na predstavených dielach možno sledovať uvažovanie umelcov o hraniciach, obmedzeniach, spôsoboch ich virtuálneho slobodného prekračovania či redefinovania, zmenách mierky či pozícií štátov a kontinentov. Autori a autorky v mapách zaznamenávajú svoje zážitky z fyzickej prítomnosti v krajine a orientácie v mestskom či prírodnom teréne. Umelecké mapy sú však aj nástrojom subjektívnych mentálnych kartografií. Metaforická podstata mapy poskytuje nekonečné možnosti vyjadrovania v tvorivých systémoch individuálnych mytológií, hľadanie stratených rajov, objavovanie bájnych a zakladanie nových krajín, či snívanie o vesmíre. Každý z autorov vyznačuje svojím zápisom predovšetkým vlastné súradnice na mape.
Katalóg je koncipovaný ako atlas umeleckých máp s odkazmi, témami a návodmi na ich kritické čítanie.

A new Percy Jackson World novel featuring fan-favourite characters, Nico and Will!

At least, that's been the case so far . . .
Now Nico is being plagued by a voice calling out to him from Tartarus, the lowest part of the Underworld. He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with.
But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.

The Dream of Europe
How did the great European dream turn sour? And where do we go from here?
From the author of the internationally acclaimed In Europe, a stunning history of our present, examining the first two decades of this most fragile and fraught new millennium.
The great European project was built out of a common desire for peace, prosperity and freedom; a wish for a united Europe striving towards a common goal. The EU was to set an example: an arena for close cooperation, tackling crucial shared concerns from climate change to organized crime, promoting open borders and social security.
But the first two turbulent decades of this century have been times of rapid and profound change. From the shores of Lampedusa to Putin's Moscow, the continent threatens to tear itself apart. What's happened to Europe's optimism and euphoria? How has it given way to nostalgia, frustration and fear, the fragile European dream in danger of turning into a nightmare?
In The Dream of Europe, Geert Mak, one of Europe's best-loved commentators, charts the seismic events that have shaped people's lives over the past twenty years. Mak's monumental book In Europe defined the continent on the verge of a new millennium. The Dream of Europe brings us up to the present day, through the rocky expansion of the EU, the aftermath of 9/11 and terrorist attacks across Europe, the 2008 financial crash and the euro crisis, the tragedy of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, the rise of right-wing populism and Brexit.
Like no other, Mak blends history, politics and culture with the stories and experiences of the many Europeans he meets on his travels. He brings this continent to life, and asks what role does Europe play now, and how might we face our challenges together, in the spirit of solidarity and connection.

Europe - A History
Whether as an epic battleground or a cradle of civilizations, Europe has left an enduring imprint on the history of the world for over two millennia.
From megalithic civilizations through ancient times, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism, two world wars and the years that followed, this book looks beyond a series of distinct national histories to offer the history of Europe as an often shared experience across one continent.
This book delves into events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, traces the continents evolution from the collapse of Communism through the Iraq War, global financial crisis, Brexit and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
And then looking forward, it explores what would be necessary for the continent to remain a global power-player for years to come.
The Prophet and the Idiot
The all-new adventure from the international bestselling author of The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
Sweden, late summer of 2011. Self-taught astrophysicist Petra has calculated that the atmosphere will collapse on the 21st of September that year, around 21.20 to be more precise, bringing about the end of times.
Armed with this terrible knowledge, Petra meets Johan, a domesday prophet, and Agnes, a widow of 75 who has made bank living a double life on social media as a young influencer. Together, the trio race through Europe as they plan to make the most out of the time they have left, in more ways than one. But of course, things rarely go to plan, even the end of the world...
This is Europe
What does it now mean to call yourself European? Who makes up this population of 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries, steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines, fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety and a new start?
In a series of vivid, ambitious, darkly visceral but always empathetic portraits of other people's lives, Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom.
Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize - but this is Europe.
