The Courage of Hopelessness
In these troubled times, even the most pessimistic diagnosis of our future ends with an uplifting hint that things might not be as bad as all that, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Yet, argues Slavoj Zizek, it is only when we have admit to ourselves that our situation is completely hopeless - that the light at the end of the tunnel is in fact the headlight of a train approaching us from the opposite direction - that fundamental change can be brought about. Surveying the various challenges in the world today, from mass migration and geopolitical tensions to terrorism, the explosion of rightist populism and the emergence of new radical politics - all of which, in their own way, express the impasses of global capitalism - Zizek explores whether there still remains the possibility for genuine change. Today, he proposes, the only true question is, or should be, this: do we endorse the predominant acceptance of capitalism as a fact of human nature, or does today's capitalism contain strong enough antagonisms to prevent its infinite reproduction? Can we, he asks, move beyond the failure of socialism, and beyond the current wave of populist rage, and initiate radical change before the train hits?

World of Warcraft: Vihar előtt
A Horda és a Szövetség vereséget mért a démoni Lángoló Légióra, ám mélyen a felszín alatt egy borzalmas katasztrófa van készülőben. Azeroth szívén halálos seb tátong, amit a bukott titán, Sargeras ütött a kardjával, könyörtelensége utolsó jeleként.... Anduin Wrynnek, Viharvárad királyának, és Szélfutó Sylvanasnak, az Elhagyottak királynőjének és a Horda hadfőnökének nem sok ideje van arra, hogy újjáépítse, ami megmaradt, és még kevesebb arra, hogy gyászolja, ami elveszett. Azeroth félelmetes sebe ugyanakkor felfedett egy titokzatos anyagot, az azeritet, amely hihetetlen teremtő erőre lehet képes, ám rossz kezekbe kerülve elképzelhetetlen pusztulást hozhat. Miközben a Szövetség és a Horda erői egymással versenyt futva próbálják megismerni az azerit titkait, és meggyógyítani a sebesült világot, Anduin elkeseredett lépésre szánja el magát, hogy tartós békét teremtsen a viszálykodók között. A béke érdekében muszáj véget vetni a nemzedékek óta tartó vérontásnak, azonban a Szövetség és a Horda egyaránt magának akarja az azerit hatalmát, s ez azzal fenyeget, hogy újabb, mindent elsöprő háború robbanhat ki, ami egyet jelentene Azeroth végzetével...

Barracoon : The Story of the Last Slave
A major literary event: a newly published work from the author of the American classic Their Eyes Were Watching God, with a foreword from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker. This account illuminates the horror and injustices of slavery as it tells the true story of one of the last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade. In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis, who was abducted from Africa on the last Black Cargo ship to arrive in the United States. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation’s history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo’s firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile founded by Cudjo and other former slaves from his ship. Spending more than three months there, she talked in depth with Cudjo about the details of his life. During those weeks, the young writer and the elderly formerly enslaved man ate peaches and watermelon that grew in the backyard and talked about Cudjo’s pastmemories from his childhood in Africa, the horrors of being captured and held in a barracoon for selection by American slavers, the harrowing experience of the Middle Passage packed with more than 100 other souls aboard the Clotilda, and the years he spent in slavery until the end of the Civil War.
Based on those interviews, featuring Cudjo’s unique vernacular, and written from Hurston’s perspective with the compassion and singular style that have made her one of the preeminent American authors of the twentieth-century, Barracoon masterfully illustrates the tragedy of slavery and of one life forever defined by it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that continues to haunt us all, black and white, this poignant and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture.

A Game of Thrones
Published in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of George R. R. Martin's landmark series, this lavishly illustrated special edition of A Game of Thrones-with gorgeous full-page illustrations in every chapter-revitalizes the fantasy masterpiece that became a cultural phenomenon. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the centre of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a region of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavours to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

Lacná kniha Piačka (-25%)
Monografická publikácia venovaná tvorbe slovenského výtvarníka, ilustrátora, maliara, grafika a tvorcu poštových známok Igora Piačku.
Výpravná, bohato ilustrovaná publikácia mapuje tvorbu a život slovenského výtvarníka Igora Piačku (1962), pričom dôraz je na poslednej dekáde. Knižná ilustrácia, maľba, grafika, kresba, známková tvorba – to všetko sú záujmové oblasti autora, ktorý sa svojou tvorbou presadil aj v medzinárodnom kontexte a získal viacero ocenení. „Kresba je stále skeletom mojej tvorby, ale maľba je zase telom a farba krvou v cievach,“ hovorí v rozhovore Igor Piačka, čím vystihol podstatu svojej tvorby. Tento rozhovor, ale aj ďalšie texty známych osobností čitateľom približujú ústrednú ambíciu tvorby Igora Piačku – divácky zrozumiteľne a na vysokej výtvarnej úrovni predstaviť neutíchajúcu túžbu po tom, čo nám tak často chýba v súčasnom svete: estetiku ľudskej, najmä ženskej krásy. Autorská estetika je zdôraznená vysokým remeselným majstrovstvom, ktorá je umelcovi ako absolventovi legendárneho oddelenia prof. Albína Brunovského na VŠVU v Bratislave vlastná.
Monografia má potenciál okrem obdivovateľov slovenského výtvarného umenia a tvorby Igora Piačku osloviť všetkých milovníkov krásy.
Publikácia je dvojjazyčná – slovensko-anglická.

A monograph devoted to the creative work of Slovak artist, illustrator, painter, printmaker and postage stamp designer Igor Piačka.
This narrative and richly illustrated book maps the art and life of Igor Piačka (born 1962), with the stress on what he has done in the last decade. Illustrating books, painting, graphic prints, drawing, and designing stamps all interest a man whose work has brought him an international reputation and several major awards.
“Drawing is still the skeleton, the framework of my art, while painting is again the body and colour of the blood flowing through the veins,” captures Piačka in an interview the essence of his work. This conversation, and also other texts of well-known personalities in Slovakia’s art scene, provide readers with a closer look at the central ambition behind his art, presenting in a friendly and comprehendible way and yet at a high artistic level an unrelenting desire for what is so often lacking in the contemporary world – the aesthetics of human and especially feminine beauty. They are embodied in his own craftsmanship, developed in the crucible of Prof Albín Brunovský’s legendary department at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, from where Piačka graduated.
The monograph has the potential to appeal to those who enjoy beauty in art and additionally anybody that admires the fine art produced in Slovakia and from Igor Piačka.

Dawn of the New Everything
Jaron Lanier, ‘the father of Virtual Reality … a high-tech genius’ (Sunday Times), tells the extraordinary story of how in just over three decades Virtual Reality went from being a dream to a reality – and how its power to turn dreams into realities will transform us and our world.
Virtual Reality has long been one of the dominant clichés of science fiction. Now Virtual Reality is a reality: those big headsets that make people look ridiculous, even while radiating startled delight; the place where war veterans overcome PTSD, surgeries are trialled, aircraft and cities are designed. But VR is far more interesting than any single technology, however spectacular. It is, in fact, the most effective device ever invented for researching what a human being actually is – and how we think and feel.
More than thirty years ago, legendary computer scientist, visionary and artist Jaron Lanier pioneered its invention. Here, in what is likely to be one of the most unusual books you ever read, he blends scientific investigation, philosophical thought experiment and his memoir of a life lived at the centre of digital innovation to explain what VR really is: the science of comprehensive illusion; the extension of the intimate magic of earliest childhood into adulthood; a hint of what life would be like without any limits.
As Lanier shows, we are standing on the threshold of an entirely new realm of human creativity, expression, communication and experience. While we can use VR to test our relationship with reality, it will test us in return, for how we choose to use it will reveal who we truly are.
Welcome to a mind-expanding, life-enhancing, world-changing adventure.

Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century
From one of America's greatest non-fiction writers, an epic saga of the rise and fall of American power, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, told through the life of one man.
Richard Holbrooke was one of the most legendary and complicated figures in recent American history. Brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites, he was both admired and detested. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. He was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never rose to the highest levels in government that he so desperately coveted.
Holbrooke's story is the story of the rise and fall of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive, and sense of possibility, as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. Drawing on Holbrooke's diaries and papers, George Packer's narrative is both intimate and epic in its revelatory portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man, and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited.

List of the Lost
Beware the novelist . . . intimate and indiscreet . . . pompous, prophetic airs . . . here is the fact of fiction . . . an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live happily ever after, for the complicated pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood human figures are the reason why nothing can ever be enough. To read a book is to let a root sink down. List of the lost is the reality of what is true battling against what is permitted to be true.' Morrissey
