Jujutsu Kaisen 18
To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural!
In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!
In order to thwart the culling game, Itadori needs the help of Kinji Hakari, a third-year who is currently suspended from Jujutsu High, so he decides to participate in an underground fight club where Hakari works as a bookie. Meanwhile, Fushiguro infiltrates the fight club and heads for Hakari's base of operations, but another Jujutsu High third-year is using their cursed technique to block his way!

Teorie avantgardy. Stárnutí moderny
Teorie avantgardy (1974) Petera Bürgera je jedním z nejvýznamnějším příspěvků k reflexi rozporuplných tendencí působících v rámci moderního umění. Bürger charakterizuje avantgardní hnutí první poloviny dvacátého století jako útok na instituci umění, vedený cílem sloučit umění v životní praxí. Tato avantgardní intence se podle Bürgera projevuje zejména v podobě produkce tzv. „neorganických“ uměleckých děl. Bürger konstatuje, že avantgardy ve svých záměrech ztroskotaly, přesto jim ale přisuzuje roli zásadního zlomu ve vývoji moderního umění. Historický význam avantgardy tkví podle Bürgera v tom, že umožnila rozpoznat rozhodující vliv normativního rámce instituce umění na společenský účinek uměleckých děl. Převládající funkce, kterou tato instituce plní v buržoazní společnosti, je dána principem autonomie: tím, že se umění vyděluje z životní praxe, staví se sice do opozice ke společnosti, ale současně se vzdává možnosti na ni působit. Bürger se domnívá, že po avantgardách už estetická teorie nemůže brát autonomii umění jako samozřejmost, nýbrž musí analyzovat funkci, kterou jednotlivá umělecká díla plní v rámci buržoazní společnosti právě v důsledku své autonomie. Knihu proslavila mimo jiné ostrá kritika poválečných neovantgard, které podle Bürgera institucionalizují avantgardní strategie a tím je připravují o původní kritický obsah. V tomto vydání doplňujeme Bürgerův nejvýznamnější teoretický spis překladem výboru Stárnutí moderny (2001), který zahrnuje převážně texty týkající se výtvarného umění. Statě z tohoto výboru ilustrují myšlenkovou konstrukci Teorie avantgardy analýzami dílčích problémů a konkrétními příklady z dějin umění. Zároveň doplňují celkový obraz osudu moderního umění o reflexi uměleckých fenoménů posledních dekád dvacátého století, označovaných pojmem postmoderny. V jednotlivých článcích se Bürger podrobně věnuje řadě osobností, jež jsou klíčové pro jeho estetické myšlení. Vedle představitelů kritické teorie (Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin) zde najdeme také řadu významných výtvarných umělců devatenáctého a dvacátého století (Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys a další).

Nicolas le Floch Affair
This novel opens at the beginning of the year 1774, the last year of Louis XV's reign. Over fifteen years have passed since the first novel in the series, THE CHATELET APPRENTICE, and Nicolas is by now well established in his police career, and in his position as a trustee of King Louis XV. The only fly in the ointment is his fraught relationship with a wealthy widow, Julie de Lasterieux. When Julie is found dead in suspicious circumstances following an argument with Nicolas, he quickly becomes the prime suspect. Although the King and his police boss, Sartine, believe in his innocence, Nicolas has many enemies keen to strengthen the case against him. To deflect attention, Nicolas is sent on a secret Royal mission to London to negotiate the silence of the publisher of a number of scurrilous pamphlets about the King's mistresses. When an attempt is made on his life en route to London, Nicolas starts to wonder whether the attempt to frame him for murder is part of a wider political conspiracy. On his return to Paris, Nicolas has to continue the fight to clear his name and unmask the culprit, as well as helping attend the ailing King. This novel is an intelligent and well-researched historical thriller, crammed with details about the food, politics and social conditions of the time. Parot doesn't stint on showing us the mud, muck and degrading living conditions of the poor in pre-revolutionary France, in contrast to the luxurious life enjoyed by the Royal family and their courtiers at Versailles. In the character of the more working class detective Bourdeau, Nicolas' assistant, Parot neatly depicts the growing tension between the people and the privileged aristocracy. At times though, the plot can seem a little slowed by discussions of food and recipes by the characters, and by the political gossip, which can be a touch confusing notwithstanding the useful provision of a dramatis personae at the beginning of the book. Overall, THE NICOLAS LE FLOCH AFFAIR maintains the high standards of the series, but would not be the obvious starting point for a reader new to the series.

Lacná kniha Kognitivní interpretace českého verše (-50%)
Čtenářsky věrohodná a kompatibilní teorie verše nemůže být pouhou teorií metra, ale musí se snažit v objevném a odvážném literárněteoretickém myšlení vytvářet i teorii rytmu. Metrika se nezajímá o smysl básnické promluvy, nehledá žádné souvislosti s její vnitřnětextovou subjektivitou (ani s jejím vnímáním), je, jak upozornil Henri Meschonnic (Critique du rythme, 1982), "sémiotikou bez sémantiky". Často není spojena se skutečně kreativním teoretickým myšlením, ale naopak bývá jen v sobě uzavřeným a vědecky nekooperativním udržováním už nastoleného řádu. Rytmus (proti diskontinuitnímu a desubjektivizovanému schématu metra) můžeme chápat jako vnímajícím subjektem rozpoznávané kontinuum jedinečné konfigurace vnitřnětextové subjektivity v básnické promluvě. Svým hodnotovým základem je rytmus vnímajícímu subjektu bližší než smysl básnické promluvy plynoucí z významů slov a vět a jeho literárněvědná interpretace je především teorií vnitřnětextového Já. Kniha Kognitivní interpretace českého verše navazuje na dvě předchozí Jiráčkovy knihy (Lyrický rytmus, Host 2007; Význam a subjektivita v lyrice, Host 2008) a obdobně chce být další relevantní etapou v literárněvědném myšlení o teorii rytmu. Autor se hlásí k české statistické metrice jako k významné stylistice českého básnického rytmu a v poslední knize Miroslava Červenky Kapitoly o českém verši (vydané díky úsilí a obětavosti Květy Sgallové a Jiřího Holého) nachází opozice, ve kterých je již v čitelném náznaku přítomna (jak ukazuje ve svých rozlehlých úvahách o teorii rytmu v subjektu lyrického díla a v lyrickém subjektu) typologie vnitřnětextové subjektivity. Jiráčkovo myšlení jako vždy vychází z rozsáhlých výzkumů individuálního vnímání jako aktuálního hodnotového pohybu, ve kterém žije subjektivita básnické promluvy. Celá kniha se snaží být dalším kontinuálním a otevřeným "cestopisem" literárněvědného myšlení uvažujícího o teoretickém uchopení fenoménu rytmu v básnické promluvě.

The Murders at Fleat House
The Murders at Fleat House is a suspenseful and utterly compelling crime novel from the author of the multimillion-selling The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley.
The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen's - a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk - is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident.
But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.
Reunited with her loyal sergeant Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish's tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.
Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy.
As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . .
Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined...

In 1976, she documented the women's maximum security ward of Oregon State Mental Hospital, and in 1978 she photographed the prostitutes in the brothels of Falkland Road in Bombay.

Rothko 25 Kr
Mark Rothko belongs to the generation of American artists who completely revolutionized the essence of abstract painting. His stylistic evolution, from a figurative visual repertoire to an abstract style rooted in the active relationship of the observer to the painting, embodied the radical vision of a renaissance in painting. Rothko characterized this relationship as "a consummated experience between picture and onlooker". His colour formations indeed draw the observer into a space filled with an inner light.
Rothko always resisted attempts to interpret his paintings. He was mainly concerned with the viewer's experience, the merging of work and recipient beyond verbal comprehension. Rothko was an intellectual, a thinker, a highly educated man. He loved music and literature and was very involved in philosophy, especially in the works of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and of ancient Greek philosophy and mythology.
Rothko was a protagonist within the movement of American painters who became known as the Abstract Expressionists. First formed in New York City during the inter-war years, this group was also called the New York School. In all the history of art, they became the first American artists to receive international recognition as a significant movement. Many among them, including Rothko, have become legendary figures.

The Techno Empire’s cruel reign and boundless ambition have the universe in a chokehold, but one obstacle remains before them: The Metabaron.
