Courtiers
The gripping account of how the Royal family really operates from the man who has spent years studying them in his role as Royal correspondent for The Times. Valentine Low asks the important questions: who really runs the show and, as Charles III begins his reign, what will happen next?
Throughout history, the British monarchy has relied on its courtiers - the trusted advisers in the King or Queen's inner circle - to ensure its survival as a family, an ancient institution, and a pillar of the constitution. Today, as ever, a vast team of people hidden from view steers the royal family's path between public duty and private life. Queen Elizabeth II, after a remarkable 70 years of service, saw the final seasons of her reign without her husband Philip to guide her. Meanwhile, newly ascended Charles seeks to define what his future as King, and that of his court, will be.
The question of who is entrusted to guide the royals has never been more vital, and yet the task those courtiers face has never been more challenging. With a cloud hanging over Prince Andrew as well as Harry and Meghan's departure from royal life, the complex relationship between modern courtiers and royal principals has been exposed to global scrutiny. As the new Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate - equipped with a very 21st century approach to press and public relations - now hold the responsibility of making an ancient institution relevant for the decades to come.

13 vecí, ktoré psychicky silní ľudia nerobia
Ako je možné, že niektorí ľudia dokážu byť šťastní a dosahovať úspechy, aj napriek nespočetným životným skúškam, ktorým neustále čelia? Z čoho pramení ich vnútorná vyrovnanosť a sila zvládnuť každú životnú situáciu?
Nad týmito otázkami sa zamyslela aj psychoterapeutka Amy Morin, ktorá vo svojej knihe nepíše o tom, čo všetko pre dosiahnutie vyrovnaného života treba robiť, ale o tom, čo stačí nerobiť. Svoje myšlienky predstavuje v širšom koncepte osobnej psychickej sily, ktorá ovplyvňuje naše myslenie a následne aj správanie voči sebe či iným ľuďom. V každej kapitole tejto knihy sa venuje jednej veci, ktorú ľudia vplyvom okolností zvyknú robiť a neuvedomujú si, že sami (a často nechtiac) tak zo seba robia zúfalcov či slabochov. Následne dáva čitateľom inštrukcie, ako tento prejav zo života prirodzene vylúčiť a nahradiť ho prejavom psychicky silnej, vnútorne vyrovnanej osobnosti, schopnej čeliť akejkoľvek situácii.

Svedectvá
Dejiny sa neopakujú, ale rýmujú Keď v roku 1985 Margaret Atwood vydala román Príbeh služobníčky, kniha vzbudila zaslúžený ohlas, ktorý neutíchol viac-menej dodnes. Aj jeho pokračovanie Svedectvá vzbudilo veľký záujem čitateľov aj kritikov - autorka zaň dostala Bookerovu cenu.
Dej románu sa odohráva pätnásť rokov po udalostiach opísaných v Príbehu služobníčky a jeho rozprávačkami sú prominentná predstaviteľka gileádskeho režimu a dve dospievajúce dievčatá žijúce v odlišných svetoch - Agnes z Gileádu a Daisy z Kanady. Prostredníctvom ich svedectiev sa pred čitateľom odvíja svet teokratickej diktatúry, v ktorej ženy a ľudské práva neznamenajú vôbec nič.

Art for No One (Bilingual edition): 1933-1945
Between 1933 and 1945, artistic creativity within the German Reich was almost totally under the control of the National Socialist state. Many artists emigrated. But what about the ones who remained in Germany? Under what social and economic conditions did they focus on their art and what options for activity were open to them?
For artists who did not conform to the system, the years of National Socialism were an era of standstill and isolation. This volume questions this blanket judgement through 15 artist personalities and shows how differently they dealt with ostracism, the lack of audience and the absence of exchange, what possibilities they had for selling and exhibiting their works and to what extent they adapted to the requirements of the Nazi regime.
Some 150 paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs reflect graphically the contradictions of this time.

Vienna
How can one European capital be responsible for most of the West’s intellectual and cultural achievements in the twentieth century?
Viennese ideas saturate the modern world. From California architecture to Hollywood Westerns, modern advertising to shopping malls, orgasms to gender confirmation surgery, nuclear fission to fitted kitchens—every aspect of our history, science, and culture is in some way shaped by Vienna.
The city of Freud, Wittgenstein, Mahler, and Klimt was the melting pot at the heart of a vast metropolitan empire. But with the Second World War and the rise of fascism, the dazzling coteries of thinkers who squabbled, debated, and called Vienna home dispersed across the world, where their ideas continued to have profound impact.
Richard Cockett gives us the entirety of this extraordinary story. Tracing Vienna’s rich intellectual history from psychoanalysis to Reaganomics, Cockett encompasses everything from the communist rebels of Red Vienna to the neoliberal economists of the Austrian School. This is the panoramic account of how one city made the modern world—and how we all remain inescapably Viennese.

Šlabikár šťastia 1. Návrat k sebe
Nie náhodou Hirax nazval svoju prvú motivačnú knihu Šlabikár šťastia: Návrat k sebe. Jednoduchou formou vhodnou pre prváčikov v nej vysvetľuje princípy sebaprijatia, odpustenia, pozitívneho myslenia, „pustenia“ rodičov, pochopenia choroby, rozpustenia bolesti, vyriešenia „problému“, zanechania boja, počúvania srdca, vnímania symbolov života, oslobodenia sa od bôľov iných. Príde aj na zákony zrkadlenia, príťažlivosti a rezonancie, dôležitosti nepretvarovania sa, škodlivosti sľubovania, prijatia cudzej i vlastnej smrti, aby sa dostal až k energii z tvorenia, rebélie, meditácie, k dôležitosti ďakovania, chválenia, nezosmiešňovania, neposudzovania a v neposlednom rade k úcte k milovanej zemi.
Autor vás nenútenou a pozitívnou cestou navedie k znovuobjaveniu vlastného dieťaťa v sebe, opäť z vás pokúsi stvoriť prirodzených bláznov a pošepne vám návod, ako sa stať bytosťou, ktorá zoberie vlastný život do svojich rúk, prevezme zodpovednosť za svoje činy a opustí súčasný Matrix. Baričák totiž neverí na zmenu cez politikov. Jeho rovnica je iná a jednoduchá: zmeňte seba, dajte to cez lásku deťom a tie zmenia zajtrajšok.

Alexandria
A city drawn in sand.
Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.
Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.
In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.
Europe - A History
Whether as an epic battleground or a cradle of civilizations, Europe has left an enduring imprint on the history of the world for over two millennia.
From megalithic civilizations through ancient times, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism, two world wars and the years that followed, this book looks beyond a series of distinct national histories to offer the history of Europe as an often shared experience across one continent.
This book delves into events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, traces the continents evolution from the collapse of Communism through the Iraq War, global financial crisis, Brexit and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
And then looking forward, it explores what would be necessary for the continent to remain a global power-player for years to come.
The Revolutionary Temper
When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. Most historians account for the French Revolution by viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology. Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided their actions.
To understand the rise of what he calls ‘the revolutionary temper’, Darnton draws on a lifetime’s study of pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike our own. Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royal’s Tree of Cracow, a favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of forty years – from disastrous treaties, official corruption and royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new conception of the nation – all entered the collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded, its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled.
Much of Robert Darnton’s work has explained the hidden dynamics of history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous decades afresh.

Jistota skal
Ségurian, vesnice v horách, čtyři sta obyvatel, lovci, tradice. Do tohoto odlehlého kraje přichází Guillaume Levasseur, odhodlaný muž, plný ideálů, který se rozhodne, že tu bude chovat ovce. Tady, v místech, kde vládne a rozhoduje příroda. Vesničané na něj hledí s nedůvěrou která přeroste v otevřený boj, boj s lidskou omezeností, xenofobií a primitivismem.
Jistota skal je poutavé a působivé dílo, které zkoumá lidské duše vystavené osamění, jednotvárnosti všedních dnů, drsnému životu v horách, obyčejné ubohosti i strachu z cizího a neznámého. Jérôme Bonnetto nám ve svém silném poetickém textu ukazuje, jak je myšlení lidí omezené, jejich sny nevyzpytatelné a jejich šílenství bezbřehé.
Utopus to byl, kdo učinil mě ostrovem
Na půl cesty mezi autorským esejem a odbornou studií, Ouředníkova nová kniha čerpá látku stejně dobře z literatury jako z historie, filosofie či antropologie. Opět se zde setkáváme s klíčovou tematikou autora: společnost viděná prizmatem jazyka, topiky, loci communes. Od Homéra k církevním Otcům, od středověku k renesanci, od osvícenství k sociálním utopiím 19. století a k dystopiím současnosti, Ouředníkovy dějiny utopie jsou především dějinami myšlení o společnosti - a tím i západní kultury jako takové.

20.storočie svetla, 20. storočie temna
Kniha o našej krajine v 20. storočí, o udalostiach, čo sa u nás aj okolo nás stali, a, pravdaže, o ľuďoch. No nie iba o tých „veľkých“ na trónoch, na úradníckych postoch, v palácoch, ale i o „malých“ obyčajných ľuďoch, ktorých dejinné deje zväčša iba kamsi posúvali a hlboko ovplyvňovali ich životy. Kniha napísaná mimoriadne čítavým štýlom je určená čitateľom od trinásť rokov a má veľmi dobré predpoklady stať sa pomocníkom učiteľov dejepisu.

A Little History of Art
A thrilling journey through 100,000 years of art, from the first artworks ever made to art's central role in culture today
"This lively volume is ideal for the precocious high-schooler, the lazy collegian . . . and any adult who wishes for greater mastery of the subject. . . . Mullins leav[es] readers with an expansive, no-regrets appreciation of art and the human story."-Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal
"A fresh take on art history as we know it."-Katy Hessel, The Great Women Artists Podcast
Charlotte Mullins brings art to life through the stories of those who created it and, importantly, reframes who is included in the narrative to create a more diverse and exciting landscape of art. She shows how art can help us see the world differently and understand our place in it, how it helps us express ourselves, fuels our creativity and contributes to our overall wellbeing and positive mental health.
Why did our ancestors make art? What did art mean to them and what does their art mean for us today? Why is art even important at all?
Mullins introduces readers to the Terracotta Army and Nok sculptures, Renaissance artists such as Giotto and Michelangelo, trailblazers including Kathe Kollwitz, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and contemporary artists who create art as resistance, such as Ai Weiwei and Shirin Neshat. She also restores forgotten artists such as Sofonisba Anguissola, Guan Daosheng and Jacob Lawrence, and travels to the Niger valley, Peru, Java, Rapa Nui and Australia, to broaden our understanding of what art is and should be.
This extraordinary journey through 100,000 years celebrates art's crucial place in understanding our collective culture and history.
Conflict
Two leading authorities – a bestselling historian and the outstanding battlefield commander and strategist of our time – collaborate on a landmark examination of war since 1945.
Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the past, and anticipate in the future, in order to navigate an increasingly perilous world.
In this deep and incisive study, General David Petraeus, the former CIA director who commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over seventy years of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Petraeus and Roberts show how often critical mistakes have been repeated time and again, and explore the challenge, for statesmen and generals alike, of learning to adapt to various new weapon systems, theories and strategies. Among the conflicts examined are the Arab – Israeli wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the two Gulf wars, the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan, as well as guerrilla conflicts in Africa and South America.
Conflict culminates with a bracing look at Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine, yet another case study in the tragic results that occur when leaders refuse to learn from history, and an assessment of the nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom of experience, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our recent past, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for understanding what the decades ahead will bring.

Islámská doktrína o křesťanech a židech
V době, kdy Mohamed umíral, byli křesťané a židé v Arábii již zcela podrobeni. Historie jeho vztahů vůči nim stanovila na dalších 1400 let způsob, jakým s nimi bude zacházeno. Všechna slova a činy, které dnes pocházejí z islámu, začínají Mohamedovým dokonalým příkladem.
Na úplném začátku v Mekce Mohamed sdělil, že svá proroctví obdržel od anděla Gabriela, což byl ten, který hovořil i k Mojžíšovi. Mohamed se v Mekce prezentoval jako prorok v linii židovských proroků. Korán však hovoří i o Soudném dnu, což je křesťanský koncept. Islám je v podstatě kacířství z křesťanského i židovského pohledu.
Později v Medíně Mohamed židy i křesťany pronásledoval. Džihád zničil arabské polyteisty a zapříčinil, že se židé i křesťané podrobili islámu.
Islám má ve svém postoji ke křesťanům a židům dualistickou povahu. Říká, že muslimové, křesťané i židé jsou všichni členy jedné Abrahámovy rodiny, a současně jsou to nepřátelé na život a na smrt, které je třeba si podrobit.
Bez znalosti islámské doktríny ke křesťanům a židům nelze pochopit džihád vůči Izraeli.
