The Secret House (EN)
A stranger and foreigner arrives at the offices of a small publication in London only to be faced by the "editor" whose face is completely swathed in a veil. Nothing is as it seems, and it quickly becomes evident that both are bent on more than lively gossip about the elite. Blackmail and opportunism is the order of the day.

The Book of Tea
The Book of Tea was written by Okakura Kakuzo in the early 20th century. It was first published in 1906, and has since been republished many times.In the book, Kakuzo introduces the term Teaism and how Tea has affected nearly every aspect of Japanese culture, thought, and life. The book is accessibile to Western audiences because Kakuzo was taught at a young age to speak English; and spoke it all his life, becoming proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western Mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of Tea and Japanese life. The book emphasises how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony.According to Tomonobu Imamichi, Heidegger's concept of Dasein in Sein und Zeit was inspired — although Heidegger remains silent on this — by Okakura Kakuzo's concept of das-in-dem-Welt-sein (to be in the being of the world) expressed in The Book of Tea to describe Zhuangzi's philosophy, which Imamichi's teacher had offerred to Heidegger in 1919, after having followed lessons with him the year before.

EDITED BY HANS WALTER GABLER; WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY DR DIETER FUCHS AND JOSEPH O'CONNOR
Against the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.

Člověk má dělat to, nač má sílu
Než se stal Václav Havel prezidentem, znal Olgu Havlovou jen málokdo.
Stačilo pár let, a získala si úctu tisíců spoluobčanů. Dodnes se hovoří o její
noblese a aristokratičnosti ducha, o síle její osobnosti. Lze říci o Olze Havlové
ještě něco nového, hlubšího a zajímavějšího? Pokouší se o to tento životopis,
který vznikl na podkladě desítek rozhovorů s jejími nejbližšími přáteli,
rodinnými příslušníky, kamarády z dětství a mládí, prominentními i
„obyčejnými“ chartisty a spolupracovníky z Hradu nebo Výboru dobré vůle.
Autor v něm přináší množství širší veřejnosti dosud neznámých informací ze
soukromého života Olgy Havlové a charakterizuje ji jako ženu, mezi jejíž
základní vlastnosti vždy patřily věcnost, odpovědnost a pevnost v názorech.
Nemalá část knihy pojednává také o působení v roli „první dámy“, ale autor
směřuje především mimo sféru oficialit a tradovaných mýtů k zachycení
otevřenosti a konkrétnosti životního dramatu.

Nalakuj to narůžovo
V nové knize, kterou Martina Formanová navazuje na předchozí autobiografické prózy Skladatelka voňavého prádla a Snědla dětem sladkosti, se setkáváme se zralou ženou reflektující svůj život po smrti manžela Miloše Formana (18. 2. 193213. 4. 2018). S pomocí deníku zpracovává svůj smutek a prázdnotu ze ztráty člověka, po jehož boku strávila dvacet tři let a s nímž vychovala dva syny. První zápis je ze srpna 2018, poslední z pandemického února 2021. S nadsázkou, sebeironií a upřímností autorka popisuje cestu k zotavení. Nečekanou součástí duševní terapie se pro ni stávají lekce stand-upu, který spojil její touhu po komunikaci, smysl pro humor i dávné vzpomínky na chvíle strávené v dětském recitačním kroužku v rodném Brně.
Kniha obsahuje bohatý fotografický doprovod.
Čo to má spoločné so mnou?
Oslava, šampanské, tanec, prestávka na masaker, znova tanec, znova šampanské... Tak vyzerala oslava na zámku Rechnitz, ktorú v marci 1945 usporiadala autorova prateta Margit Batthyány. Zostalo po nej stoosemdesiat zavraždených Židov, stoosemdesiat zmárnených ľudských životov.
Stalo sa to v marci 1945, v predvečer Kvetnej nedele. Medzi pozvanými hosťami boli prominentní funkcionári NSDAP i SS. Okolo polnoci niektorí hostia opustili oslavu a začali strieľať do Židov, ktorí na zámku vykonávali otrockú prácu.
Švajčiarsky novinár Sacha Batthyany sa vo svojej knihe Čo to má spoločné so mnou? usiluje rozpliesť záhadu tejto masovej vraždy z konca druhej svetovej vojny a zároveň zistiť, akú úlohu pri tom všetkom zohrávala jeho prateta, ktorú prezývali „hostiteľka z pekla“.
Pri svojom pátraní navštevuje Maďarsko, Rakúsko, no prostredníctvom psychoanalýzy sa snaží nahliadnuť aj do svojho podvedomia.
Jeho kniha je však aj o nás, o súčasných Stredoeurópanoch, o pocitoch viny a spoluzodpovednosti za zločiny minulosti, o snahe pochopiť a prežiť na vlastnej koži tak vzdialené a predsa neustále prítomné dejiny.
Kniha Sachu Batthyanyho Čo to má spoločné so mnou? vychádza v preklade Eleny Diamantovej.
