Rilkovy „Sonette an Orpheus“
Kniha přináší interpretace básní jedné z Rilkových stěžejních sbírek, česky známé jako „Sonety Orfeovi“. Po německém znění každého sonetu následuje doslovný překlad, poté komentář autora a résumé komentáře německého rilkologa Hermanna Mörchena (orientovaného heideggerovsky) a Ernsta Leisiho (orientovaného na sémantický strukturalismus); porovnávány jsou přitom též interpretace v českých překladech (V. Renč, V. Holan, J. Pokorný, T. Vítek, A. Misař, M. Suchomel). Práce je zaměřena proti patetizaci Rilkovy poezie. Závěrečnou část tvoří vlastní překlad „Sonetů Orfeovi“.

Lacná kniha Hindoo Holiday: An Indian Journal (-90%)
In the 1920s, the young J. R. Ackerley spent several months in India as the personal secretary to the maharajah of a small Indian principality. In his journals, Ackerley recorded the Maharajah's fantastically eccentric habits and riddling conversations, and the odd shambling day-to-day life of his court. Hindoo Holiday is an intimate and very funny account of an exceedingly strange place, and one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century travel literature.

A Really Short Journey Through the Body
We spend our whole lives in one body and yet most of us have practically no idea how it works and what goes on inside it.
Want to know why the skin is the biggest organ?
Why our brains can see into the future?
Or why your eyes are back to front?
Packed full of facts, big numbers (such as the amount of microbes that make you) and small numbers (the size of those very tiny microbes) all in full-colour.
Journey to the Edge of Reason - The Life of Kurt Godel
Nearly a hundred years after its publication, Kurt Goedel's famous proof that every mathematical system must contain propositions that are true-yet never provable-continues to unsettle mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. Yet unlike Einstein, with whom he formed a warm and abiding friendship, Goedel has long escaped all but the most casual scrutiny of his life.Stephen Budiansky's Journey to the Edge of Reason is the first biography to fully draw upon Goedel's voluminous letters and writings-including a never-before-transcribed shorthand diary of his most intimate thoughts-to explore Goedel's profound intellectual friendships, his moving relationship with his mother, his troubled yet devoted marriage, and the debilitating bouts of paranoia that ultimately took his life.
It also offers an intimate portrait of the scientific and intellectual circles in prewar Vienna, a haunting account of Goedel's and Jewish intellectuals' flight from Austria and Germany at the start of the Second World War, and a vivid re-creation of the early days of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, where Goedel and Einstein both worked.Eloquent and insightful, Journey to the Edge of Reason is a fully realized portrait of the odd, brilliant, and tormented man who has been called the greatest logician since Aristotle, and illuminates the far-reaching implications of Goedel's revolutionary ideas for philosophy, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and man's place in the cosmos.
EPIC 1 - Az első küldetés
Hat diák közös tanulócsoportba kerül a Rudiban, azaz a Különleges Tehetségek Ernest Rutherford Intézetében. Sádi, Röfi, Márkó, János, Zuzu és Alma Peti, vagyis a B Team tagjai kezdetben idegenek egymás számára. Ez az iskola tényleg az életre készíti fel őket, bár arról még sejtésük sincs, hogy ez pontosan mit is fog jelenteni. Az órákon olyan módszereket használnak a fiatalok nevelésére és képzésére, amelyeknek a törvényessége is kétséges, ráadásul a tanulócsoport a tanév indulása után nem sokkal óriási kalamajkába keveredik. Fogalmuk sincs, hová tart a történetük, de azt ösztönösen megérzik, hogy a slamasztikából csak összefogva, egymásban megbízva, egyszersmind a felnőttek világával szembefordulva tudnak kimászni.

Jo’s Journey
Aliens, warships, battles, and a certain alien male were not in the carefully detailed plans Jo had for her life.
Manota Ja Kel Coradon is the second son of the ruling House of Kassis. He is known as the dark brother, and he lives up to his reputation. He has fought hard to protect his family and the people of Kassis, at times sacrificing parts of his soul to keep others safe, but even so, Manota was in total control of his life until one slender, feisty alien female crashes through the shields he has placed around his heart.
She is fearless and stubborn, absolutely refusing to cower before him, no matter how much he growls, and he is determined to claim her as his own. There is just one little problem – she will not accept his claim unless he returns to Earth for her parents.
And Jo's parents won't be the only ones coming back to Kassis – so is her entire circus family! Traitors, pirates, and Mimes are just the beginning of the surprises on this journey. Manota is about to learn that the prophecy foretold centuries ago is true. His mate is just as much a warrior as he is and she comes with backup!
Internationally acclaimed S.E. Smith presents a new action-packed story full of romance and adventure. Brimming with her signature humor, vivid scenes, and beloved characters, this book is sure to be another fan favorite!

The Torah / Law Is a Journey
Svým tématem stojí kniha na pomezí lingvistiky a teologie. Po základním přehledu teorií, na nichž je založena následná analýza, rozebírá metafory obsažené v konceptualizaci hebrejského výrazu ???? (tóra/zákon) a příbuzných termínů ve Starém zákoně. Pozornost věnuje rovněž překladům vybraných metaforických výrazů z Jeremiáše a Sofoniáše do moderní češtiny a angličtiny. Případová studie v závěrečné kapitole analyzuje pojmové metafory v učebnici Compass: Manual for Human Rights Education with Young People a ukazuje tak biblické (židovské a křesťanské) kořeny samotné idey lidských práv.

A Sentimental Journey
A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel by the Irish-born English author Laurence Sterne, written and first published in 1768, as Sterne was facing death. In 1765 Laurence Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view. The novel can be seen as an epilogue to the possibly unfinished work The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and also as an answer to Tobias Smollett's decidedly unsentimental Travels through France and Italy. (Sterne met Smollett during his travels in Europe, and strongly objected to his spleen, acerbity and quarrelsomeness. He modeled the character of Smelfungus on him.)The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. Unlike prior travel accounts which stressed classical learning and objective non-personal points of view, A Sentimental Journey emphasized the subjective discussions of personal taste and sentiments, of manners and morals over classical learning. Throughout the 1770s women travel writers began publishing significant numbers of sentimental travel accounts. Sentiment also became a favorite style among those expressing non-mainstream views including political radicalism.The narrator is the Reverend Mr. Yorick, who is slyly represented to guileless readers as Sterne's barely disguised alter ego. The book recounts his various adventures, usually of the amorous type, in a series of self-contained episodes. The book is less eccentric and more elegant in style than Tristram Shandy and was better received by contemporary critics. It was published on February 27, and on March 18 Sterne died.

Interslavic zonal constructed language: an Introduction for English-speakers
Interslavic zonal constructed language is an auxiliary language, which looks very similar to real spoken Slavic languages in Central and Eastern Europe and continues the tradition of the Old Church Slavonic language. Interslavic shares grammar and common vocabulary with modern spoken Slavic languages in order to build a universal language tool that Slavic people can understand without any or with very minimal prior learning. It is an easily-learned language for those who want to use this language actively. Interslavic enables passive (e.g. receptive) understanding of the real Slavic languages. Non-Slavic people can use Interslavic as the door to the big Slavic world.

This will end badly.#3 Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably.#4 Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things.
This Epic Tome contains all four books in The Tale of Bryant Adams:How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' DaysSeven Things Not to Do When Everyone's Trying to Kill YouThree Simple Steps to Wizarding DominationFive Spellbinding Laws of International Larceny
Praise for How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin’ Days
“This is a magical, fast-paced, fantasy packed—with a lovely dose of modern day teen—ride.” – Tonja
“How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days by Megan O'Russell is the funniest book for teens/middle grade I have read in so long!” – M.W.

Author Interview
Why did you choose to write a fantasy book that heavily involves a cell phone?
Phones are a huge part of everyday life. Smart phone are these tiny pieces of massive technology we use everyday without really thinking about how astounding they are. But what if phones could be used for more than just scrolling through social media? What if an entire magical library could be hidden in your pocket? I wanted modern convenience to meet magic in a new way.
What does Bryant Adams bring to the world of wizards that readers haven’t seen before?
Bryant Adams is not your standard hero. He is not the chosen one, and the world may be doomed if he’s in charge of saving us all.
Bryant is a geek—the nerdy sidekick of the coolest kid in high school—who’s trying really hard to survive being a wizard but is too terrified to talk to the girl of his dreams.
He’s just a boy trying to get through his teen years without too much emotional damage…and then magic happens.
Who would enjoy this book?
If you like humor with a touch of snark, romance with a hint of wit, and magic that might destroy the world as we know it, Bryant Adams is the wizard for you.
