The Guru, the Bagman and the Sceptic
A brilliantly witty book about the intertwined lives of psychoanalyst Ernest Jones, surgeon Wilfred Trotter and the guru of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud.
Welsh-born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever, self-confident and intensely ambitious, Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile, his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter - a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V, and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile - refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure, Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists, distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self-regard.
From the first psychoanalytic congress in Salzburg in 1908 to the illness of King George in the late 1920s and the meeting of Freud and Trotter in 1939, Seamus O'Mahony tells the story of these three figures and their intertwined lives with his customary wit and erudition. Not only the story of the development of psychoanalysis, this is a book about the sexual obsessions of intellectual and bohemian circles in London, Cambridge and Vienna, of Bloomsbury, of doctors in pursuit of wealth and fame. It covers a pivotal thirty years in European history, and reveals how and why the writings of a failed neurologist from Vienna became so influential.

Izrael mezi třemi kontinenty / Israel on the Crossroads of Three Continents
Když 7. června 1967 obsadily jednotky Izraelských obranných sil východní Jeruzalém a jeho Staré Město, do té doby kontrolované Jordánskem, upravila Naomi Šemer svou jen pár týdnů starou píseň "Jeruzalém ze zlata". Skladba, oslavující krásu města v srdci Judských hor, se rázem stala druhou, neoficiální hymnou židovského státu a obletěla celý svět. Už tři dny po spojení rozděleného města ukončilo Československo s Izraelem diplomatické styky a píseň o městě ze zlata a mědi, kde vane horský vzduch s vůní borovic, mohli Češi a Slováci slýchat jen na zakázaných rozhlasových stanicích. Na dobré vztahy Masarykovy republiky se sionistickým hnutím a dobu, kdy poválečné Československo sehrálo klíčovou roli při vzniku Státu Izrael, navázala federální vláda až v únoru 1990, kdy její tehdejší ministr zahraničí Jiří Dienstbier přivítal v Praze šéfa izraelské diplomacie Moše Arense. Od té doby je pro české a slovenské cestovatele zase otevřeno nejen sedm bran jeruzalémského Starého Města, ale celý Stát Izrael ve své až neuvěřitelné pestrosti a kráse.
Po úspěšné knize Arménie - země hor, klášterů a vína vydává Robin Böhnisch svou další velkorysou obrazovou publikaci. Při její přípravě zúročil nejen desítky svých cest do Svaté země, ale také celoživotní zájem o přírodu a její ochranu, nebo hlubokou znalost blízkovýchodního vinařství. I díky tomu jeho kniha vede čtenáře Izraelem po jiných cestách, než průvodci - ať už tištění, nebo ti živí. Publikace sama konečně nemá ambici být bedekrem, je ale lákavou pozvánkou tam, kde si podávají ruku biblické dějiny s moderním světem. Do vskutku fascinující země na křižovatce tří kontinentů.

Renia's Diary
Introduction by Deborah Lipstadt, author of Denial
July 15, 1942, Wednesday
Remember this day; remember it well. You will tell generations to come. Since 8 o'clock today we have been shut away in the ghetto.
I live here now. The world is separated from me and I'm separated from the world.
Renia is a young girl who dreams of becoming a poet. But Renia is Jewish, she lives in Poland and the year is 1939.
When Russia and Germany invade her country, Renia's world shatters. Separated from her mother, her life takes on a new urgency as she flees Przemysl to escape night bombing raids, observes the disappearances of other Jewish families and, finally, witnesses the creation of the ghetto.
But alongside the terror of war, there is also great beauty, as she begins to find her voice as a writer and falls in love for the first time. She and the boy she falls in love with, Zygmunt, share their first kiss a few hours before the Nazis reach her hometown.
And it is Zygmunt who writes the final, heartbreaking entry in Renia's diary.
Recently rediscovered after seventy years, Renia's Diaryis already being described as a classic of Holocaust literature. Written with a clarity and skill that is reminiscent of Anne Frank, it is an extraordinary testament to both the horrors of war, and to the life that can exist even in the darkest times.

Siblings
1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.
For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build a glorious, egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the Party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty, and desire. The result is this ground-breaking classic of post-war East German literature.
Translated by Lucy Jones

Dracul
Román Dracul je inspirovaný deníkovými záznamy autora jednoho z nejslavnějších hororů, jehož lze označit za zakladatele žánru. Píše se rok 1868 a jednadvacetiletý Bram Stoker se zabarikáduje v místnosti ve věži opuštěného kláštera. Je vyzbrojený zrcátky, krucifixy, svěcenou vodou, košíkem bílých růží a revolverem. Jedinou útěchou mu je láhev slivovice. Vroucně se modlí, aby přežil tuto noc. Času není nazbyt a on narychlo sepisuje znepokojivé události, které ho sem přivedly. Vypráví děsivý příběh o dětství v Dublinu, častých nemocech, záhadné chůvě, o lidech, kteří údajně zemřeli, a přesto žijí, o pověrách, z nichž se náhle stala realita. Neboť za zamčenými dveřmi čeká nelidská noční můra, s níž, jak doufal, skoncoval před lety Po téměř sto padesáti letech od vydání Draculy se Dacre Stoker, praprasynovec Brama Stokera, vrací k původním deníkovým záznamům svého slavného předka a k záhadám a nezodpovězeným otázkám doprovázejícím toto výjimečné literární dílo. Na základě dokumentů z autorovy pozůstalosti vytvořili spolu s americkým spisovatelem J. D. Barkerem (autor románů Čtvrtá opice nebo Pátá oběť) mrazivý příběh, který čtenářům odhalí prapůvod samotného hraběte Draculy, jeho tvůrce i tajemné ženy, která je navždy spoutala k sobě.
