Uncle Toms Children
'Wright's unrelentingly bleak landscape was not merely that of the Deep South, or of Chicago, but that of the world, the human heart' James Baldwin
Natural disasters, cold-blooded murders, political agitation - all haunt these dark, dramatic novellas set in an American Deep South still corrupted by its slave-owning past. But at the heart of each are the stories of the men, women and children whose resistance against oppression will come to define their lives.
Originally published in 1938, Uncle Tom's Children was Richard Wright's first published work. It would establish his reputation as both a powerful storyteller and a fierce chronicler of racism, violence and oppression in America at the time.

Rozpůlený dům
Román o svobodomyslných ženách a pytlácích, kšeftmanech s textilem a spiritistech se odehrává v sudetské vesnici první poloviny 20. století. Češi a Němci tu žijí ve smíšených manželstvích, ale taky se handrkují o to, k jaké národnosti se kdo přihlásí při sčítání lidu, kdo dřív vystaví novou školu a kdo komu zamordoval psa jménem Masaryk.
Je to příběh o tajných láskách, útěcích, křivdách, změnách jmen i příjmení a žabomyších válkách, které nakonec stály životy. Autorka splétá velký „famílienromán“ z rodinných příběhů, vzpomínek i archivních záznamů, střídá mužské a ženské hlasy a fantazii s citacemi. K románu ji inspirovala vlastní rozpůlená rodina: po roce 1945 byla část jejích příbuzných odsunuta a část zůstala. Jeden z jejích předků se dokonce stal arizátorem židovské fabriky a přítelem Reinharda Heydricha.
Román Rozpůlený dům Alice Horáčkové se čte jedním dechem jako napínavá kronika. V Krkonoších se mluvilo česky i německy, osudy rodin se zde potkávaly, prolínaly a protínaly. A to vše je z této mimořádné knihy cítit. Název může evokovat něco rozbitého, ztraceného. Je tomu ale přesně naopak. Díky této mimořádné knize srůstá rozbitá minulost dohromady a vzniká její plastický a celistvý obraz.
Jaroslav Rudiš
Nenápadný, ale velký a – v kontextu české literatury rozhodně – výjimečný příběh vypráví Alice Horáčková v novém obsáhlém románu Rozpůlený dům.
-Irena Hejdová, vedoucí kulturní rubriky Deníku N
Vesnický román Rozpůlený dům líčí osudy rodiny a na ně nabalené příběhy sousedů a obyvatel Krkonoš tak filmově, že mě jako první otázka na autorku po vydání knihy napadlo: Už někdo koupil práva na film? Alice Horáčková píše nesmírně čtivě. Nebojí se sexuálních scén, byť ty jsou zpočátku trochu rozpačité tak, jak její hrdinky hledají, jaké to je, mít ženské tělo a cítit touhu. Přes trapné „závojíčky“ se tak dostáváme k suverénním popisům vztahů bez náznaků, když zazní úlevné a přímé: „Nechtěl byste si se mnou zašpásovat?“
-Klára Kubíčková, Vlasta
Rozpůlený dům je (...), a to v první řadě, naprosto strhujícím čtením, velkým rodinným románem. Kdybyste si měli přečíst jedinou novou českou knihu, nechť je to právě Rozpůlený dům Alice Horáčkové.
-Vogue
Autorka s erudicí literární kritičky prostudovala řadu archivů, v Semilech například objevila beneckou kroniku a v Zámrsku autentická udání starosty Gottsteina. Mluvila s desítkami pamětníků, především ze své rodiny Horáčků Hollmannů, která byla odsunem „rozpůlena“. To všechno jí pomohlo vytvořit umělecky pravdivou románovou kroniku krásného, i kdyžpro život tvrdého kraje. Román je plný neobyčejně lidských scén i životních paradoxů, kdy se člověk stává bezděky obětí omylů či zfanatizovaného davu. Autorka vypráví svůj mozaikovitý příběh s filmovou dynamikou a udržuje čtenáře v napětí až do konce. Román Rozpůlený dům se čte se zatajeným dechem - tahle literární kronika vyznívá překvapivě současně.

Ask A Footballer
Ever wondered what it's REALLY like to be a Premier League footballer?
My name is James Milner and I'm not a Ribena-holic.
Let me share insights into what it's like being a professional footballer, across my different experiences with Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City and now Liverpool (not forgetting a six-match loan spell at Swindon). Plus my highs - and a few too many lows - playing for England.
There isn't a current player who's been playing Premier League football as long as I have, and that gives me a pretty rare perspective into how the top-flight game has changed over the past seventeen years.
In this book, I explain how a footballer's working week unfolds - what we eat and how we prepare for matches technically, tactically, mentally and physically - and talk you through the ups and downs of a matchday. I reveal my penalty-taking techniques, half-time team talks and the differences between playing against Lionel Messi, Wilfried Zaha and Jimmy Bullard.
I've played for managers ranging from Terry Venables, Peter Reid and Sir Bobby Robson to Martin O'Neill, Fabio Capello and Jurgen Klopp. I tell you what it's like sharing a training ground and a dressing-room with team-mates such as Lee Bowyer, Mario Balotelli and Mo Salah. I also reveal the behind-the-scenes work that went into Liverpool's Champions League success - and the celebrations that followed.
So this isn't an autobiography. The whole point of Ask A Footballer is that you, the fans, asked me questions and I have used my own experiences to answer them. I hope you like it, and don't find it too boring.

NEW RETRO: 20th Anniversary Edition
There is something distinctly compelling about the vintage aesthetic. Brimming with charm and character, it often tells stories of a colourful past and showcases a level of craftsmanship that many creatives today still aspire to emulate. Retro designs also emanate a sense of comfort and warmth that is tinged with nostalgia. As testament to the adage that old is indeed gold, 'New Retro' showcases a brilliant collection of work that is anything but outdated, featuring projects that not only draw inspiration from the good old days, but also merge seamlessly with contemporary influences and culture. First published in 2016, this 2021 rerelease - with additional projects and a special cover design - coincides with Victionary's 20th anniversary and is dedicated to the fans who have been requesting for its reprint ever since it went out of stock.

The War of Nerves
A major new history of the Cold War: exploring the conflict through the minds of the people who lived it.
More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. And, nearly thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures - not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts, and fears.
Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives and unseen sources, Martin Sixsmith vividly recreates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, framing it for the first time from a psychological perspective. Revisiting towering personalities like Khrushchev, Kennedy and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping account of fear itself - and in today's uncertain times, it is more resonant than ever.

The Language of Kindness
`It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh. It encouraged me to appreciate this most underappreciated of professions more than ever' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt
Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.
We watch Christie as she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it through the night, we stand by her side during her patient's agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to remove the toxic smell of smoke before the grieving family arrive.
In our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, mentor and friend. And in these dark days of division and isolationism, she encourages us all to stretch out a hand.

The Memoirs of General P. H. Sheridan, Volume II., Part 6
The headquarters of the military department to which I was assigned when relieved from duty at New Orleans was at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and on the 5th of September I started for that post. In due time I reached St. Louis, and stopped there a day to accept an ovation tendered in approval of the course I had pursued in the Fifth Military District—a public demonstration apparently of the most sincere and hearty character.
From St. Louis to Leavenworth took but one night, and the next day I technically complied with my orders far enough to permit General Hancock to leave the department, so that he might go immediately to New Orleans if he so desired, but on account of the yellow fever epidemic then prevailing, he did not reach the city till late in November.
My new command was one of the four military departments that composed the geographical division then commanded by Lieutenant-General Sherman. This division had been formed in 1866, with a view to controlling the Indians west of the Missouri River, they having become very restless and troublesome because of the building of the Pacific railroads through their hunting-grounds, and the encroachments of pioneers, who began settling in middle and western Kansas and eastern Colorado immediately after the war.

Wake UP
It's time we get back to common sense.It's time to cancel the cancel culture.It's time to Wake Up.If, like me, you're sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you.If, like me, you think the world's going absolutely nuts, then this book is for you.If, like me, you think NHS heroes and Captain Tom are the real stars of our society, not self-obsessed tone-deaf celebrities (and royal renegades!), then this book is for you. If, like me, you're sickened by the cancel culture bullies destroying people's careers and lives, then this book is for you. From feminism to masculinity, racism to gender, body image to veganism, mental health to competitiveness at school, the right to free speech and expressing an honestly held opinion is being crushed at the altar of 'woke' political correctness.
In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the Government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country.
Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff.
A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Wake Up is Piers' rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn't go back to sleep again.

The New Leviathans
Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, Hobbes' cold political vision continues to see through any number of political and ethical vanities.
In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors and disappointments through a new reading of Hobbes' classic work. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near-apoplectic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas flourished, and yet still our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations which will somehow dissolve away. Hobbes would not be so confident.
Filled with fascinating and challenging perceptions, The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more self-aware, realistic and disabused ethics help us all?
Soviet Playgrounds
A photographic survey of Soviet-era playgrounds found in former members of the USSR, such as Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Through five chapters containing more than 150 photographs, the book documents the mass-produced, yet diverse play equipment installed in the communal spaces of socialist-era housing estates, such as rocket slides and earth-shaped climbers, spaceships and animal-themed ladders, cosmic roundabouts and bizarre objects that would probably raise safety concerns nowadays.
From Riga to Dushanbe and all the way from Kyiv to Vladivostok, children dreamt of becoming cosmonauts, and enjoyed the many space-themed playscapes which had proliferated since the onset of the Cold War era. While some are still in use, others are slowly disappearing to make way for modern equipment, or, more recently, being destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, becoming only a faint memory of a Soviet childhood.
Includes a foreword by the Ukrainian urban planner Mykola Gorokhov and informative maps of the playgrounds featured in every chapter. Pictures were taken by Zupagrafika, with contributions by local photographers.

Joel Meyerowitz: Redheads
It was in 1978, during my first summer of making portraits while using an 8x10 inch large format camera, that I found myself drawn to photographing redheads.
I have often been asked; 'why redheads,' and I've often felt it was because in summer redheads seem to bloom in the sun more gloriously than the rest of us. But it also might have been my living far out on the tip of Cape Cod, surrounded by all the blue light of sea and sky, which made me pay more attention to the flamboyant qualities of redheads. Their hair and the exotic markings of their skin in sunlight became even rosier and more astonishing in that blue atmosphere.
Redheads, like film itself, are transformed by sunlight. It seems natural to me now that I would have paid attention to this new phenomenon as it appeared within the larger subject of the Cape itself. After making more than 50 portraits that first month, in which at least 30 were of redheads, I understood that this was an impulse to be taken seriously.
I ran an ad in the local paper, the Provincetown Advocate: "REMARKABLE PEOPLE! If you are a redhead or know someone who is, I'd like to make your portrait, call...." They began coming to my deck, bringing with them their courage and their shyness, their curiosity and their dreams, and they shared their stories of what it was like to be a redhead. They spoke of the painful remembrances of childhood, the violations of privacy and name calling-"Hey, red," "freckle face," "carrot head." They also shared with me their sense of personal victory at having overcome this early, unwanted celebrity, and how like giants or dwarfs or athletes they had finally grown into their specialness and by surviving had been ennobled by it. You could say that they had been baptized by their own fire, and that their shared experience had formed a "blood knot" among them. I had begun making portraits with the intention of photographing ordinary people. But redheads are both ordinary and special.
Their slender slice of the genetic pie accounts for only 2 or 3 percent of the world's population. As different as redheads are in terms of nationality and religion, they often give the appearance of a strong familial connection.

Prince - 1999 4LP
KDO: Prince patří k výrazným postavám světové pop music. Mnohokrát byl nominován na cenu Grammy, hned sedmkrát ji obdržel. V roce 2004 byl přijat do rock'n'rollové síně slávy. Je považován za jednoho z nejpracovitějších a nejproduktivnějších hudebníků posledních desetiletí.
CO: 1999 je pátým studiovým albem amerického umělce Prince a současně debut jeho doprovodné skupiny Revolution. Vyšlo v roce 1982 a je považováno za jedno z nejznámějších a nejvlivnějších dvojalb v rockové historii. Titulní skladba byla protestem proti šíření jaderných zbraní. Jednalo se současně o jedno z nejprodávanějších alb roku. Skladby vydané na albu však tvoří jen zlomek toho, co v Prince v letech 1981 a 1982 složil a vyprodukoval. V rámci reediční kampaně je slavné album nyní znovu k dispozici, navíc v několika rozšířených variantách. Kromě standardní verze na CD a 2LP (purple vinyl), je v nabídce i Deluxe Edition (2CD nebo 4LP) a Super Deluxe Edition (5CD+DVD nebo 10LP+DVD). V rozšířených verzích zájemci najdou mimo jiné dalších 35 dosud nevydaných skladeb z Princova trezoru a též koncertní záznam na videu z turné 1999 pořízený v Houstonu v roce 1982.
