33x Márius Kopcsay
Profesor Valér Mikula označil Kopcsayov debut ako jednu z najlepších slovenských knižiek prelomu storočí. Začítajte sa do reedície prvých troch autorových zbierok poviedok, neočakávajte však veľa optimizmu – protagonistami sú predsa len Trtkovia, Bojkovia, Muchovia – a pripravte si bránice na škodoradostný smiech. ExEdícia získala Národnú cenu za dizajn.
Smiech je Kopcsayova najsilnejšia stránka, ten robí z jeho debutu možno jednu z najlepších slovenských knižiek prelomu storočí. A nejde pritom len o čierny, „cynický“ humor, autor sa nebojí „neprieberčivo“ využívať celú jeho škálu – od intelektuálneho až po ten lacný. Veď aká tam prieberčivosť v dobe, ktorá si tiež v ničom nevyberá? Kopcsay si „učenlivo“ osvojil jazyk i ducha doby – len ako to robí, že po všetkom tom „osvojení“ nám svet, ktorý zobrazuje a v ktorom žijeme, pripadá ešte cudzejší a čudnejší? A prečo oveľa viac chápeme jeho neúspešného hrdinu ako tých úspešných?
(Valér Mikula)
Nech už autor nazve svojho protagonistu Spáč, Pisár, Paľo Kriak-Tŕnistý, Štefan Lístok-Cviknutý alebo len jednoducho Muž, naďalej pokračuje v biografii outsidera našej doby. Opätovne ho vybaví tučnotou, nepochybne závažnými zdravotnými problémami s nábehom na hypochondriu, neznesiteľným rodinným zázemím – „globálne nespokojnou“ manželkou, dvoma svokrami (svojou a manželkinou), neutešenou finančnou situáciou slabomyseľnými nadriadenými a hlúpym a zaťažujúcim zamestnaním. Oproti predchádzajúcim prózam ho nechá splodiť ďalšieho syna a odsťahovať sa na vidiek. Naďalej mu dopraje žiť „ilúziu blbého života“ a túžiť po živote „skutočnom“, napĺňa ho frustráciou zo zbytočnosti a prázdnoty vlastnej existencie, z faktu, že „vyvrcholenie“ životného príbehu nie a nie prísť. Ponecháva mu iba život ako „údel“, „bremeno“ a zúfalú túžbu prekonať vlastnú situáciu, pálčivé želanie, aby veci boli inak.

14x Tomáš Horváth
Autor je literárny vedec a dokonale ovláda teóriu písania v rôznych štýloch. Vo svojich poviedkach svoj pozorovací talent naplno rozvinul a ak milujete paródie, nielen to, čo je napísané ale hlavne ako, zamilujete si aj túto knihu. ExEdícia získala Národnú cenu za dizajn.
Horváthovo písanie, to je koncert nápadov, žartíkov, skečíkov, ktorých je niekedy v jedinej poviedke toľko, koľko u iných v siedmich knihách, konštatujem trpko a znechutene sa mračím pred zrkadlom. Ak Horváth žije, tak žije literatúrou, v literatúre, je to ohurujúce, presvedčivé, ale aj perverzné, deviantné, podozrivé, máme dočinenia so sociopatom?
(Balla)
Tomáš Horváth prepája vo svojom písaní profesionálne literárnovedné školenie s vlastnou čitateľskou záľubou poklesnutých žánrov. Predstavuje typ „neosobného“ písania s akcentom na tézu, že autor ako inštitúcia je mŕtvy a suverenita patrí slovu. Jeho autorská stratégia je založená na intertextuálnej a intelektuálnej hre, v rámci ktorej sa v priestore literárneho diskurzu transformujú a inovujú žánrové a štýlové postupy tzv. nízkej literatúry (klasická detektívka, dobrodružný a kriminálny príbeh, gotický román a i.) a populárnej kultúry (akčný film, počítačové programy), a to v podobe parafrázy, napodobeniny, imitácie (pseudožánre). So zreteľným odstupom (paródia, irónia, perzifláž, mystifikácia) sa preberajú konštrukcie, obraznosť i slovná zásoba týchto žánrov, aby boli vzápätí konfrontované konštrukciami a výrazmi odlišnej sémantickej úrovne (literárna teória, filozofia). Významným tematickým plánom je sebareferencia, tematizácia písania a epických kategórií, opakujúcim sa motívom je vytváranie a generovanie textu, princíp kombinatoriky a cyklickosti. Horváthove prózy simulujú príbehy s tajomstvom, no ostávajú otvorené a významovo neurčité, prevláda v nich absurdita a iracionalita. Zodpovedajúcou pocitovou kulisou sú znepokojivé, napäté, vzrušené a paranoidné stavy postáv.
(Dana Kršáková)
Autor otvára priestor pre rozmanitého čitateľa: od naivného, ktorého upúta ustavičným hyperbolizovaním a karnevalizovaním javov a udalostí, až po fajnšmekra, ktorý ocení absenciu tradičného rozprávania a zgustne si na textovaní.

Lacná kniha Sting:Back on the Beat
Touted by fans for his charisma and scorned by critics for his egomania, Sting is one of the most commercially successful and most controversial rock artists performing today. A schoolteacher from Newcastle, Sting soared to international fame and the top of the seventies rock charts with The Police, one of the most popular bands on the planet. After the band folded, he emerged as a solo start with hit singles, critically acclaimed albums, worldwide sell-out tours, and a host of Grammys, not to mention raves for his work in film and on Broadway. Yet Sting's career has been turbulent-an accomplished jazz bassist and vastly talented musician, he has been charged with playing punk and reggae for careerist convenience. He has been accused of single-handedly breaking up The Police at the peak of its rock band powers. And his much publicized work on behalf of Amnesty International and the Brazilian rainforests has been equally admired and disdained. In this updated edition of the first full-length biography of Sting, Christopher Sandford examines the substance behind the cliche, the creative disagreements--and physical violence--among The Police; the musical intelligence that produced such albums as Nothing Like the Sun and Ten Summoner's Tales; Sting's ecological campaigning and financial dealings; and his numerous sexual entanglements. Here is Sting, the legend, the man, the political activist, the performer who continues to fascinate the world.

Pasca
Nová kniha poviedok Petra JAROŠA „PASCA“ prináša burleskné majstrovské rozprávačstvo autora. Magické obrazy, vybuchujúci ohňostroj fantázie, filozofické a morálne otázky, neočakávané briskné pointy poviedok. A opäť skúma, čo všetko prekáža človeku, aby bol naozaj šťastný ... dobro aj zlo, lásku aj nenávisť.
Spisovateľ, čerstvý osemdesiatnik, autor ikonických diel Tisícročná včela, Pacho, hybský zbojník a mnohých ďalších próz, filmových, televíznych a rozhlasových scenárov dal knihe veľavravný podtitul: “Neskorý zber“. Prináša zvláštnu zmes dojatia, sentimentálností, nostalgie a živelného magmatického rozprávačstva. Ale aj napätia ,miestami až detektívneho, pri odklínaní ľudských osudov formou poviedky . Jaroš sa pozerá na ľudské príbehy a osudy nielen s veľkorysou empatiou a žičlivosťou, ale najmä so zdravou skepsou. Lebo skepsa je poznaním, že ľudský svet je v neustálej často až provokujúcej zmene hodnôt. Takéto poznanie je často parodické ale zároveň aj poetické a ozdravujúce...
Poviedka 2022
Zborník najlepších poviedok 26. ročníka literárnej súťaže.
Hlavnú cenu získal Kristián Lazarčík. Prémiami boli ocenení: Terézia Fabianová, Mária Figurová, Marek Grajciar, Dorota Hinštová, Peter Hoferica, Pavol Kuspan, Kristína Lenart, Zuzana Vasičáková Očenášová a Pavol Weiss.
V knihe je okrem všetkých ocenených poviedok publikovaný aj predslov predsedníčky poroty Ivany Gibovej, štatistické údaje a zoznam všetkých súťažných prác, ktoré postúpili do druhého a tretieho kola. Na konci knihy je prihláška do nasledujúceho ročníka súťaže.
Porotkyne, ktoré posudzovali 367 súťažných prác a aj príspevky v predchádzajúcich ročníkoch sa zhodli, že kvalita textov má stúpajúci trend, o čom svedčí fakt, že do druhého kola postúpil dvojnásobný počet poviedok ako vlani. Rozhodovanie bolo preto zložité a množstvo zaujímavých poviedok sa do finále nedostalo – ich názvy sú označené v doslove zborníka, aby porota povzbudila ich autorov k ďalšej tvorbe.
The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name
"A spooky, funny, magical and atmospheric adventure with a compelling hero you will adore. " Jessica Townsend, New York Times bestselling author of Nevermoor

Until she learns of a treasure, one that can reunite Corpse with her family and her name. She must set off for answers, on a journey across the stormy sea, battling magic, zombie-skeletons and monsters. But the Witches want the treasure too.
And they'll do anything to get to it first.
Welcome to Elston-Fright, a forgotten town where witches lurk, sea monsters roam and a girl is on the hunt for answers...

A Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World
There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. They have been the homes and workplaces of men and women whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. Yet while that way of life fades away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories.
From a blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, to an intrepid young girl saving ships from wreck at the foot of her father's lighthouse, and the plight of the lighthouse crew cut off from society for forty days, this is a glorious book full of illuminating stories that will transport the reader to the world's most isolated and inspiring lighthouses.
With over thirty tales that explore the depths to which we can sink and the heights to which we can soar as human beings, and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans and curious facts, A Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World is as full of wonder as the far flung lighthouses themselves.

Too Famous
TOO FAMOUS collects pieces Michael Wolff has written as a columnist for New York, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, GQ and The Hollywood Reporter, and adds several new ones. Written over a 20-year period, the book spans that moment in popular culture when personal attention became one of the world's most valuable commodities, and ending with Donald Trump, fame's most hyperbolic exponent.
Some of these pieces exist in the amber of a particular news moment, some as character portraits - as colourful now as when they were written - and some as lasting observations about human nature and folly. The common ground all of these thrilling stories share is that everyone in this book is a creature of, or creation of, the media. They don't exist as who we see them as, and who they want to be, without the media.
