A Short History of Russia
Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's 'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries.
In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most complex nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.

Pustým městem / In a Deserted City
Zcela neopakovatelné, uchvacující, krásné i děsivé. Snad takto lze pár slovy popsat zážitek z pusté Prahy během karantény, která postihla všechna města a místa nejen v naší zemi.
Nezažil to nikdo z naší generace, ani z generace našich rodičů a prarodičů. Snad to mine naše děti a my jim to budeme moci zprostředkovat jen jako vzpomínku, a to díky této knize zcela unikátních černobílých fotografií.
Pavel Hroch v nich zachytil naši metropoli, když na pár chvil byla jen sama pro sebe a sama sebou. Projděte se spolu s ním prázdnými ulicemi, postůjte na pustých náměstích, prohlédněte si její architektonické skvosty, jindy skryté za clonou všudypřítomného hlučícího davu. Průvodcem vám bude i osobitý text spisovatele Miloše Urbana.

Minority Policies in Central and Eastern Europe in Comparative Perspective
In this collective monograph we have contributions on Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Roma minority, the question of civic and ethnic nationalism, the phenomenon of antisemitism, and on the theoretical and perhaps practical possibility of Christianity being a way to help achieve a greater measure of interethnic and ethnopolitical peace. When we look back at the nine chapters presented in this volume, we observe that there are notable differences between various minority issues and bettween the different countries discussed. But there are also aspects which these countries and their problems share in common. Central and Eastern Europe are known for their long-standing national-minority problems and the historical antagonisms between different nations or national groups. The chapters have highlighted both old and new aspects of the minority problem.

A Brief History of Equality
The world's leading economist of inequality presents a short but sweeping and surprisingly optimistic history of human progress toward equality despite crises, disasters, and backsliding. A perfect introduction to the ideas developed in his monumental earlier books.
It's easy to be pessimistic about inequality. We know it has increased dramatically in many parts of the world over the past two generations. No one has done more to reveal the problem than Thomas Piketty. Now, in this surprising and powerful new work, Piketty reminds us that the grand sweep of history gives us reasons to be optimistic. Over the centuries, he shows, we have been moving toward greater equality.
Piketty guides us with elegance and concision through the great movements that have made the modern world for better and worse: the growth of capitalism, revolutions, imperialism, slavery, wars, and the building of the welfare state. It's a history of violence and social struggle, punctuated by regression and disaster. But through it all, Piketty shows, human societies have moved fitfully toward a more just distribution of income and assets, a reduction of racial and gender inequalities, and greater access to health care, education, and the rights of citizenship. Our rough march forward is political and ideological, an endless fight against injustice. To keep moving, Piketty argues, we need to learn and commit to what works, to institutional, legal, social, fiscal, and educational systems that can make equality a lasting reality. At the same time, we need to resist historical amnesia and the temptations of cultural separatism and intellectual compartmentalization. At stake is the quality of life for billions of people. We know we can do better, Piketty concludes. The past shows us how. The future is up to us.

Lacná kniha Vet in a Spin (-70%)

One family's search for a better life: an immersive, kaleidoscopic debut for fans of Half of a Yellow Sun, Homegoing and Pachinko
India, 1898. Pirbhai is thirteen when he steps into a dhow on the vague promise of work; his family is suffering and he will do anything to help.
The boat takes him to labour for the British on the East Africa railway. He has no money, no voice, no power - and will make impossible choices in the name of survival.
Sonal is fierce and loving, always willing to fight for what she believes in. When Pirbhai walks into her father's shop, weathered but not broken from his time on the railway, she knows he is part of her future.
Together they set out for a new life in Uganda.
So begins the story of their family. Parents, children and grandchildren will scatter across the world, fleeing the brutality of Idi Amin, forging new lives in London, marching for equality in 1990s Canada, searching for a safe mooring.
But under everything lies a secret. And one day, a letter arrives that will fan its embers into a flame.
