Now 2.
Arin, Pirju a jeho polokočičí přítelkyně Čchorjong pokračují v cestě společně. V horách nečekaně nacházejí hostinec s vlídným majitelem. Alespoň se tak ze začátku zdá... Pirju bude potřebovat všechno své bojové umění, aby zachránil nejen sebe, ale i obě dívky. K tomu všemu se objevuje tajemná postava Sogun, která vyzývá Čchorjong na souboj. A překvapení není konec... Po stopách Arin jde i dívka, která nebezpečně dobře vládne mečem a která je Arin podezřele podobná.

Decadence Now! (česky)
Dlouho očekávaná monografie Decadence Now! Za hranicí krajnosti vychází jako součást stejnojmenné výstavy vy výjimečné grafické úpravě Roberta V. Nováka. Přináší na 338 stranách vedle úvodní studie i komentáře k jednotlivým dílům. Dekadence je téma, které je v současné kultuře aktuální, či lépe, opět aktuální. Apokalyptický pocit zmaru a krize naší civilizace podněcuje zvýšený zájem o temnou stránku lidského nitra i samotného světa. Od sedmdesátých let 20. století můžeme sledovat kontinuální snahu soudobého umění pracovat s typicky dekadentní tematikou: odcizení, deviace, splín, perverze, hrůza, ošklivost, krása, halucinace, smrt, sebevražda, zánik, narcismus, pornografie, násilí, narkotika, nemoc, šílenství. Dekadentní umění je subversivní, podněcující, nevyvolává lhostejnost, ale vyžaduje formulování jasného postoje. Dekadence je v tomto smyslu vyhrocená, extrémní i provokativní. Po úvodní studii je publikace strukturována, podobně jako výstava, do pěti základních kapitol: I. Krajnost sebe: bolest (Robert Mapplethorpe, Pierre et Gilles, Matthew Barney, Cindy Shermanová, Gilbert and George, Yasumasa Morimura ad.), II. Krajnost těla: sex (Jeff Koons, Niba, Anders Serrano, Joel-Peter Witkin, David Černý ad.), III. Krajnost krásy: pop (David LaChapelle, Pierre et Gilles, Paolo Schmidlin, Shimon Oksteyn, Daniel Edwards, Zbygniew Libera ad.), IV. Krajnost mysli: šílenstí (Damien Hirst, David Baley, Catherine Opieová, Jake a Dinos Chapmanovi, Gottfried Helnwein ad.) V. Krajnost života: smrt (Steven Gregory, Joel-Peter Witkin, Kieth Haring, Ivan Pinkava, Václav Jirásek ad.). Kniha obsahuje, vedle menších referenčních obrázků, celostránkové reprodukce všech děl, která byla představena na stejnojmenné výstavě v Galerii Rudolfinum, stejně jako pohledy do vlastní expozice. Jednotlivá díla jsou doprovázena komentáři samotných autorů nebo úryvky z teoretických studií a rozhovorů. Publikace je doplněna podrobným biografickým a bibliografickým oddílem.

The Islamic Enlightenment
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 2017
'An eye-opening, well-written and very timely book' Yuval Noah Harari
'The best sort of book for our disordered days: timely, urgent and illuminating' Pankaj Mishra
'It strikes a blow...for common humanity' Sunday Times
The Muslim world has often been accused of a failure to modernise and adapt. Yet in this sweeping narrative and provocative retelling of modern history, Christopher de Bellaigue charts the forgotten story of the Islamic Enlightenment - the social movements, reforms and revolutions that transfigured the Middle East from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Modern ideals and practices were embraced across the region, including the adoption of modern medicine, the emergence of women from purdah and the development of democracy.
The Islamic Enlightenment looks behind the sensationalist headlines in order to foster a genuine understanding of Islam and its relationship to the West. It is essential reading for anyone engaged in the state of the world today.

Architecture Now! Museums
Star architects from Zaha Hadid to Herzog & de Meuron have shaken up the formerly staid world of museum architecture, bringing bravura to new buildings and extensions. But the trend for new museums to opt for bold contemporary architecture goes well beyond the stunning work of Renzo Piano or Tadao Ando. Many less well-known architects have also designed remarkable places to exhibit art and artifacts.
Some have provoked controversy, like Mexican architect Teodoro González de León's University Museum of Contemporary Art on the sprawling UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) campus. Others have been warmly welcomed, like the sweeping, light-filled Art Gallery of Ontario Extension by Toronto-born Frank O. Gehry, his first commission in his native city. Others point out new horizons for reclaiming brownfield sites and reviving derelict industrial structures: Nicholas Grimshaw's conversion of a disused 1960s blast furnace into Horno 3, a welcoming extra gallery space for the Mexican city of Monterrey's Museum of Steel is a case in point. In Cartagena, Spain, Rafael Moneo's decade-long work on the Museum of the Roman Theater culminated in a structure that engages visitors in an archaeological manner, taking them on a tour of history as well as the site itself.
Here then are more than 50 projects by the major talents pushing the limits of contemporary museum design, from established masters to the latest generation of brilliant architects.
