Zabiják Anders a jeho přátelé (a sem tam nepřítel)
Třetí humoristický román světového bestselleristy a autora nejoblíbenějšího románu roku 2014 v Česku.
Román o tom, že i špatní lidé dělají svět lepším místem
Co se stane, když se setká nevěřící farářka, recepční z bývalého bordelu a slavný národní zabiják? Tato nesvatá trojice v dobrém i zlém otřese celým Švédskem. Sledujte tu jízdu!
Johan Andersson – díky svým nesčetným pobytům v base nazývaný jednoduše „zabiják Anders“ – je čerstvě na svobodě. Potřebuje novou práci a stejně tak přátele. Do rány mu přijde vychytralá pastorka Johanna Kjellanderová, která se kvůli svému ateistickému smýšlení ocitne na dlažbě. Společně s hotelovým recepčním Perem Perssonem založí „Agenturu pro ubližování na zdraví“ se zabijákem Andersem v roli smluvního násilníka. Kšefty běží báječně. Dokud se zabiják Anders nezačne ptát po vyšším smyslu toho všeho, nezačne se najednou zajímat o boha a nezačne být laskyvý a mírumilovný. Jenže bossové stockholmského podsvětí s ním mají nevyřízené účty a zabijáka Anderse i s jeho přáteli pořádně zmáčknou…
Farářka Johanna Kjellanderová nadobro opustila kazatelnu. Stalo se tak narychlo, když ji kongenerace odsoudila a házeli po ní zpěvníky. Nikdy si to povolání sama nezvolila, donutili ji. Per Persson se radoval z milionového dědictví, jenže majetek dědy, koňského handlíře, se jaksi rozplynul v dýmu z dieselových motorů. A tak se teď živí jako špatně placený recepční v tříhvězdičkovém hotelu, bývalém bordelu. Vyhnaná farářka náhodou potká na lavičce v parku recepčního. Oba se cítí být podvedení předchozí generací a nemají proto problém podrazit jiné.
Osud jim do cesty přivede trochu naivního, dobrosrdečného, zato pořádně zlostného muže. Jmenuje se Johan Andersson a právě ho propustili z vězení, kde si odpykával trest za tři vraždy. Dělá co může, aby si vydělal, ale alkohol je drahý. Farářka a recepční se postarají o to, že se Zabiják Anders brzy stane známým po celém Švédsku. Tito tři vytvoří nesvatou trojici a pustí se do velmi výnosné, ale také pochybné obchodní činnosti. Všechno by šlo jako po másle hrabě, samotný Pán a jeho Syn tak proklatě nezkomplikovali...
Jonas Jonasson si šibalsky a neuctivě bere na mušku lidskou chamtivosti a zabijákem Andersem vytvořil nezapomenutelnou postavu antihrdiny.
Zabiják Anders je typická jonassonovská bizarní postavička, podobně jako stoletý stařík a moudrá analfabetka. Jeho příběhy pobaví a rozesmějí, ale do literatury vstoupil především pro své vidění a vnímání světa, pro svůj pozorovatelský talent.

The Definition of Crime
An Appalachian Crime Story
Private Investigator Helen Hartsock returns home to the Appalachian Mountains. Searching for a missing person hardly anyone misses.She finds Martha Phelps: a woman with a mysterious past and fiercely loyal friends.And a deep knowledge of the secrets the mountains hold.Will Helen get answers, or regret asking in the first place?
Originally appeared in Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem: Private Eyes, Knotted Road Press, 2020.
An excerpt from The Definition of Crime:
A Mystery Almost No One Cares to SolveHelen was determined to follow the path to wherever Rodney Blevins ended his days, no matter how it twisted or turned. Almost as determined as his family, even if no one else seemed to care.She pretended to read and watched Martha load everything into one washer while everyone else was still busy sorting into two, sometimes three machines. All typical behavior for this crew.But instead of standing around and chatting with her friends, Martha stared right at Helen.Not good.Then she walked over and sat beside her, which was worse.“Figured I should introduce myself,” Martha said, her voice quiet but a bit rough, as if she’d shouted a lot in her life. “Since we seem to have noticed each other for several days in a row now.”

From Country to Nation
We are facing a worrying moment. The West doesn’t understand the struggle that the nations which liberated themselves from the stranglehold of Communism 30 years ago are waging for sovereignty and intellectual autonomy. Meanwhile the peoples on the other side of what used to be the Iron Curtain are perplexed by the insensitivity shown by the West and by the neo-Marxist view of history it now upholds, which claims an exclusive right to interpret the past. In this book, from one chapter to the next, Mária Schmidt weighs the past three decades in the balance. Following the powerful logic of her analytical and interpretative essays, the reader swiftly discovers the fault lines causing the disconcerting divisions between East and West. It is worth pointing out that such a book could only have been conceived here, in Central Europe. In 2020, this region is the freest one in the world. Its citizens are armed with the experience of the totalitarian ideological systems of the past century, as well as the mighty heritage of their struggles for national independence. We are ready and able to face the struggle against any attempt to impose forced conformity on us – the normal practice of dictatorships, which is now being practised by the West.

Atlas Anatomy Bourgery 25 Fp
We owe a great debt to Jean Marc Bourgery (17971849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published in a
ny language. In 1830, having received his doctorate in medicine three years prior, Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (17821871). The first volumes were published the following year, but
completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication.
The four parts of Bourgery's treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques, general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob's spectacular hand
-colored, life-size lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research; the images are to this day unsurpassed in anatomical illustration.

Newton: Kosmos, Bios, Logos
Irena Štěpánová in this book explores Isaac Newton’s engagement with ancient wisdom, the Hexameral tradition, Hermeticism, theology, alchemy as well as natural philosophy. In so doing, she brings together the established historiography with her own new insights.
Štěpánová’s study is more than a study of Newton’s thought, for it contains a good deal of background on ancient (e.g., Hermeticism) and early modern thought (e.g., the Cambridge Platonists). She also uses the interpretative lenses of several contemporary Newton and non-Newton scholars in her work. Moreover, provides helpful summaries of Newton’s thought (e.g., his theology).
Štěpánová has provided Newton scholarship a great service in this book, not only by making her Czech-language work available in English, but bringing to the English-language reader learning on Hebraic thought, philosophy of life and Hermeticism originally published in Czech.

Lacná kniha OWC School for Scandal and Other Plays (-90%)
Richly exploited comic situations, effervescent wit, and intricate plots combine to make Sheridan's work among the best of of all English comedy. The School for Scandal (1777) is his masterpiece, a brilliantly crafted comedy of contrasts in which brothers Joseph and Charles Surface contend for Maria, with hilariously differing intentions and results. Also a work of acute comic irony, The Rivals satirizes the romantic posturing of Lydia Languish while her disguised suitor Captain Absolute's resourceful contrivances advance an ever inventive and skilfully wrought plot. Included in this edition are the opera play The Duenna and the rarely printed musical play A Trip to Scarborough, adapted from Vanbrugh's The Relapse. Sheridan's last play, The Critic, is an exuberant parody of the modish tragic drama of the day. Lampooning Sir Fretful Plagiary's absurdly bombastic historical drama during its confused stages of production, its satire never fails to delight. The texts of the plays have been newly edited by the General Editor of the Oxford World's Classics English Drama series. A fine introduction and notes on Sheridan's playhouses and critical inheritance make this an invaluable edition for study and performance alike.

Jiří Voskovec & Jan Werich Korespondence I
Třísvazkový projekt korespondence V+W, uložené v Gotliebově archivu v Bostonu, vydává pro velký zájem čtenářů nakladatelství Akropolis znovu. Vzájemné listy legendárních tvůrců Osvobozeného divadla, jejichž cesty se po únoru 1948 rozdělily, jsou strhujícím svědectvím nejen jejich originality a umělecké zralosti, ale současně odhalují i osudy těchto významných osobností v bipolárním světě, plném železných opon a studených válek (z dopisů je zřejmé, že oba tyto listy chápali jako součást svých literárních plánů a že počítali s jejich pozdějším publikováním). První svazek korespondence zahrnuje období let 1945-1962. Knihu doplňují i některé méně známé fotografie z působení V+W na opačných koncích světa.
