The Price of Existence
Ever since the dawn of mankind, some primal instinct drives us to find proof that we are not alone in this world.
Although billions of people populated the Earth, we still felt alone. We built spaceships and searched on, leaving our home planet. We wanted to see into the distance through the light-years.
But why? What is that longing encoded in our genes that makes us look ever further? Why do we obsessively believe that we cannot possibly be the only sapient civilization in this incomprehensibly big world? After so many disappointments why does our belief still hold, stronger than our life-instincts?
Why are we gazing at the star-studded night sky and ask ourselves again and again – you out there, who we’ve been searching for since time immemorial, which planet do you live on, where should we go?
And what’s next when we find the much-desired answer to these questions?
If those that we’ve been waiting for for so long come to us…will we survive?
The day has come.
The day of the last war.

Off the Record – Az elhallgatott igazság
A tizenhét éves Josie Wright az írásban teljesedik ki, amióta csak az eszét tudja. Ez a tevékenység tartja benne a lelket akkor is, amikor minden más kész őrültek háza körülötte. Szóval, amikor megnyer egy versenyt, amelynek fődíja, hogy megírhatja egy híresség portréját a Deep Focus magazin számára, egyszerre lesz izgatott és ijedt. De készen áll. Megbirkózik a feladattal.
Josie hamarosan egy többállomásos turnéra indul, amely során csillogó hírességekkel, frenetikus alkalmazottakkal, faarcú producerekkel és különc stylistokkal ismerkedik meg. Azon kapja magát, hogy érzelmeket táplál portréja tárgya, a káprázatos, fiatal színészpalánta, Marius Canet iránt. Josie világa olyan gyorsan kitágul, hogy nem tudja, épp repül-e vagy zuhan. De amikor egy fiatal színésznő beavatja őt egy szörnyű titokba, a válasz egyértelmű: nyakig belekerül ő is.
Egyre több nő beszámolója kapcsolódik össze. Josie le akarja leplezni a felelős férfit, de vonakodik felszólalni. Nem biztos benne, hogy ezt a történetet az ő tiszte lenne elmesélni. Mi van, ha cserbenhagyja a nőket, akik rábízták a történeteiket? Mi van, ha ez a dolog véget vet az írói karrierjének, mielőtt elkezdődne? Rengeteg oka van rá, hogy ne folytassa a küldetést. De ha Josie nem lép közbe, akkor mégis ki fog?

How I Learned to Understand the World
The moving, playful memoir of Hans Rosling - Swedish statistics mastermind, researcher extraordinaire and author of the global bestseller, Factfulness.
This is a book that contains very few numbers. Instead, it is about meeting people who have opened my eyes.
It was facts that helped him explain how the world works. But it was curiosity and commitment that made the late Hans Rosling, author of worldwide bestseller Factfulness, the most popular researcher of our time.
How I Learned to Understand the World is Hans Rosling's own story of how a young scientist learned became a revolutionary thinker, and takes us from the swelter of an emergency clinic in Mozambique, to the World Economic Forum at Davos.
In collaboration with Swedish journalist Fanny Hargestam, Hans Rosling wrote his memoir with the same joy of storytelling that made a whole world listen when he spoke.
To že je Kafka?
Při pátrání v knihovnách i archivech a během badatelských cest do Prahy či Izraele nalézal Kafkův životopisec Reiner Stach nečekané poklady: nesrovnalosti v rukopisech, dosud nezveřejněné fotografie a úryvky z dopisů i svědectví Kafkových současníků. Nálezy stavěly osobnost a dílo velkého spisovatele do nového, překvapivého světla. 99 nejzajímavějších nálezů Stach shromáždil v knize nazvané To že je Kafka? a fundovaně je okomentoval. Množství dosud neznámých fotografií činí z tohoto doplňku k trojdílné Kafkově biografii další jedinečný literární zážitek a bezpochyby i senzaci.
„Kdo se zajímá o Kafku a jeho svět, ten ať rychle otevře Stachovu pokladnici…“ Radio Bremen, Nordwestradio, Literaturzeit „Čtenář pozná jiného Kafku.“ NZZ am Sonntag

Lacná kniha Dva kavalíři z Verony - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Dva kavalíři z Verony patří k Shakespearovým raným komediím. Hra vnikla někdy v letech 1590-1594. Má se za to, že byla napsána až po Komedii omylů a Zkrocení zlé ženy, ale s ohledem na jistou jednoduchost výstupů, v nichž se v převážné míře střídají monology či promluvy stranou jedné osoby s dialogy dvou postav, ji někteří pokládají za vůbec první Shakespearovou hru.

Beneath the Lions Gaze
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974 - the eve of a revolution.
Yonas kneels in his mother's prayer room, pleading to his god for an end to the violence that has wracked his family and country. His father, Hailu, a prominent doctor, has been ordered to report to jail after helping a victim of state-sanctioned torture to die.
And Dawit, Hailu's youngest son, has joined an underground resistance movement-a choice that will lead to more upheaval and bloodshed across a ravaged Ethiopia.
Emotionally gripping, poetic and indelibly tragic, Beneath the Lion's Gaze is a transcendent story that tells a gripping story of family and of the bonds of love and friendship. It is a story about the lengths to which human beings will go in pursuit of freedom and the human price of a national revolution.
The Bang-Bang Club
The Bang-Bang Club was a group of four young war photographers, friends and colleagues: Ken Oosterbroek, Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, war correspondants during the last years of apartheid, who took many of the photographs that encapsulate the final violent years of racist white South Africa. Two of them won Pulitzer Prizes for individual photos.
Ken, the oldest and a mentor to the others, died, accidentally shot while working; Kevin, the most troubled of the four, committed suicide weeks after winning his Pulitzer for a photograph of a starving baby in the Sudanese famine. Written by Greg and Joao, The Bang-Bang Club tells their uniquely powerful war stories. It tells the story of four remarkable young men, the stresses, tensions and moral dilemmas of working in situations of extreme violence, pain and suffering, the relationships between the four and the story of the end of apartheid. An immensely powerful, riveting and harrowing book, and an invakuable contribution to the literary genre of war photography. An eye-opening book for readers of Susan Sontag.
