V namodralém šeru
Soubor filmových recenzí, které vycházely v letech 20042011 v revue Prostor, je doplněn o několik textů dosud nepublikovaných. Autorka se věnuje dílům patřícím do zlatého fondu kinematografie (od Antonioniho, Tarkovského či Saury) i současné produkc
i, z níž si vybírá nejen filmy uznávaných režisérů (Lynch, Spielberg, von Trier, Scott, Cronenberg, Kolski, Kim Ki-duk, Wong Kar-wai), ale i filmy méně známých kinematografií, jako je gruzínská, íránská nebo vietnamská. Přistupuje k filmovým dílům z
hermeneutického hlediska a interpretuje je na základě archetypové psychologie C. G. Junga. Neusiluje o objektivně vědecký filmologický rozbor, ale dívá se na filmové obrazy způsobem, k němuž přivádí jungovské pojetí prožívané reality. Film, jehož
symbolická funkce spojuje jedinečné s obecným, chápe ve smyslu jeho terapeutického působení na psyché, čímž se dobírá hlubších významových rovin.
Technologizace slova
Ačkoliv poprvé vyšla v roce 1982, tato kniha dodnes neztratila nic ze své originality a intelektuální pronikavosti. Jejím ústředním tématem je zásadní rozdílnost mezi kulturou založenou na mluveném slově a kulturou psanou,mezi písemným vyjadřováním a oralitou. Ong analyzuje především způsoby, jakými literárnost a oralita ovlivňují naše užívání jazyka i vnímání světa. Vedle „primární orality“ předliterárních společností autor značnou pozornost věnuje rovněž tzv. „sekundární oralitě“, jejíž rozvoj v našem století podnítila nová elektronická média – rozhlas,telefon a televize. Kniha Technologizace slova překračuje hranice jednotlivých humanitních disciplín a v odborném světě dnes patří mezi klasické literárněvědné, mediálně teoretické i psychologické texty.

Norsko v noci
Nikdy by to nepřiznal ani před Rheou, ani před Larsem – nikdy, ani za nic – ale Sheldon jednoduše nechápe, co tu dělá…Sheldon Horowitz, čerstvý dvaaosmdesátiletý vdovec, se neochotně přestěhuje do Osla ke své vnučce a jejímu norskému manželovi. Jakožto bývalý mariňák často mluví s přízraky z vlastní minulosti – s přáteli, o které přišel v Pacifiku, a se synem, který v jeho stopách vstoupil do americké armády a zemřel ve Vietnamu.Poté co se Sheldon stane svědkem vraždy ženy v domě, ve kterém bydlí, zachrání jejího šestiletého syna a rozhodne se uprchnout. Pronásleduje ho nejen balkánský gang, který má vraždu na svědomí, ale i norská policie. Chce-li Sheldon chlapce ochránit, musí se spolehnout na svůj již více než půl století starý výcvik. Uprostřed neznámé a zvláštní krajiny si tento nevyrovnaný pár, který ani nemluví stejným jazykem, začne budovat pouto, které by je snad jediné mohlo zachránit.Norsko v noci, pozoruhodný debut s nezapomenutelným hlavním hrdinou, vypráví o posledním dobrodružství muže, který se stále ještě snaží vyrovnat s tragédiemi, které mu život přinesl.

Studio Ceramics (Victoria and Albert Museum)
A magnificent catalogue of the V&A's collection of twentieth-century and contemporary British ceramics. Contemporary ceramicists working in Britain, including Rachel Kneebone, Grayson Perry and Edmund de Waal, are part of a broader international group of artists experimenting with clay, considering how it intersects and works in dialogue with other artforms and culture at large. Recent experimentation with the medium owes much to the rapid evolution of ceramics into an expanded field, and to the work of mid to late twentieth-century potters and their liberation from the legacy of groups such as the Arts and Crafts movement.
The experimental techniques and rethinking of form in the work of exponents such as Lucie Rie, Bernard Leach, and Hans Coper - whose reference points were drawn from Asia, Africa, India and the Middle East as much as from their own heritage - continue to influence and inspire contemporary makers. In his introductory essay, Alun Graves, Senior Curator of Ceramics at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, provides all lovers of ceramics - collectors, practitioners, historians and those interested in modern and contemporary art and crafts - with the historical context, documenting this shift in the medium into an expressive, and sometimes interventionist, art form.

For Marguerite has long since attained the status of a myth. Dumas's subtle and moving portrait of a woman in love is a timeless antidote to the cynicism of every age.

Lacná kniha To Be Taught, If Fortunate - A Novella
In the future, instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the galaxy transform themselves.
*FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR*
'Extraordinary . . . A future masterwork' Joanne Harris
At the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.
Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds fifteen light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit, and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.

More Than a Woman
A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general 'hoo-ha' of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed 'the difficult bit' was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle.
If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn't there such a thing as a 'Mum Bod'? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO'S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN?
Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning.
The Secret History
With cloth binding and bespoke marbled endpapers, this gorgeous 30th-anniversary hardback edition of The Secret History is the perfect gift for fans!
'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'
Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.

Kafkaesque
Long fascinated with the work of Franz Kafka, Peter Kuper began illustrating his stories in 1988. Initially drawn to the master's dark humour, Kuper adapted the stories over the years to plumb their deeper truths. Working from new translations of the classic texts, Kuper has reimagined these iconic stories for the twenty-first century, using setting and perspective to comment on contemporary issues.
Long-time lovers of Kafka will appreciate Kuper's innovative interpretations, while Kafka novices will discover a haunting introduction to some of the great writer's most beguiling stories. Kafkaesque stands somewhere between adaptation and wholly original creation, going beyond a simple illustration of Kafka's words to become a stunning work of art.

A že to nebude zrovna bezpečná akce, Aidanovi dojde ve chvíli, kdy kolem něj začnou mizet mladé dívky a objevovat se mrtvoly. Pozná Aidan, co je černé a co bílé i v šedých stínech Manchesteru?

Guy's Girl
AN UNFORGETTABLE NEW LOVE STORY THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY, BREAK YOUR HEART, AND PIECE IT BACK TOGETHER
The boy who couldn't love and the girl who wouldn't.
Ginny Murphy is a total guy's girl. She's always found friendships with boys easier to form and keep drama-free - as long as they don't fall for her, and she doesn't fall for them. She and her best guy friends have stuck to that. But then she meets Adrian Silvas, the only one who's ever made her crave more, and Ginny begins to question her own rules.
Piece by piece, Ginny and Adrian begin to fall into something intoxicating, something dangerous. Ginny threatens to destroy the belief Adrian's held ever since witnessing his own mother's heartbreak: that love isn't worth the risk. For Ginny, the stakes could be even higher. Letting Adrian get close could mean exposing a secret she's long protected: her disordered eating.
Ginny isn't looking to be saved by someone. But maybe she and Adrian can help each other - if they don't destroy each other first.
Heartfelt and evocative, Guy's Girl is a powerful story about true love, self-love, and growing up.
