The Russian Catastrophe and Chances to Overcome It
Ruská katastrofa a možnosti, jak ji překonat
Andrej Zubov byl v roce 2022 nucen opustit svoji rodnou zemi a přijal pozvání rektora Masarykovy univerzity, aby přednášel v Brně. Soubor jeho přednášek česky souhrnně nazvaný „Ruská katastrofa a možnosti, jak ji překonat“ nyní vychází knižně.
Autor skrze studium ruských dějin hledá odpovědi na dvě úzce související otázky: Proč bylo Rusko od bolševického převratu po celé dvacáté století neustálým zdrojem agrese? a Existuje nějaká naděje, že se Rusko radikálně promění, přestane být agresorem a stane se mírumilovným státem, demokratickou zemí, jako země EU a NATO?
Profesor Zubov věří, že jeho texty přispějí k lepšímu pochopení tragického osudu jeho lidu v minulých i současných staletích, procesů, které vedly k válce, a tím i k budování trvalejšího míru po jejím skončení.
The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories
The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories is the third book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula LeGuin and others. It was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in October, 1908, and has been reprinted a number of times since. Issued by the Modern Library in a combined edition with A Dreamer's Tales as A Dreamer's Tales and Other Stories in 1917.The book is a series of short stories, some of them linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegana, which were the focus of his earlier collections The Gods of Pegana and Time and the Gods. One of the stories, "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth," was afterwards (1910) published by itself as a separate book, a now very-rare "Art-and-Craft" style limited edition.Source: Wikipedia

Blue Period 3
Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling...
Yatora studies hard and gets good grades, and he parties hard, staying out late drinking and watching soccer with his friends. He checks all the boxes he needs to be the perfect high school student. But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is...or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst--and he's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!
