Ta, jež povstala z krystalu
Prozaik Vladimír Raffel (1898–1967) nepatří mezi spisovatele, jejichž jméno se v literární historii skloňuje příliš často. Tento bytostný intelektuál, jakkoliv plodný a nesporně tvůrčí, v zásadě celé své dílo vychrlil ve dvacátých letech minulého století, aby se pak již nadosmrti umělecky odmlčel a věnoval se „pouze“ své psychiatrické praxi. Přesto zanechal v dějinách české literatury nesmazatelný otisk. Edice s názvem Ta, jež povstala z krystalu reprezentuje Raffelovo kompletní, knižně publikované povídkové dílo vycházející mezi lety 1927 až 1930, jež v kontextu dobové avantgardní tvorby nese příznačné atributy fascinace moderní technikou (elektřina, stroje, kino a další), již Raffel, původní profesí lékař, modifikuje imaginativními inspiracemi vyvěrajícími ze svého povolání, ze zájmu o moderní filosofii, zevrubných znalostí modernistické francouzské literatury a úsilí o lakonický literární experiment. Raffelovy cykly Elektrické povídky, Tělové povídky, Patetické povídky, Taneční povídky a Prapovídky, dosud spíše přehlížené, plasticky doplňují a stejnou měrou i mírně rozostřují obraz české meziválečné avantgardy skrz dílo tohoto uměleckého solitéra s bohatou fantazií a smyslem pro stylovou a myšlenkovou preciznost. Autorovy texty doplňuje průvodní studie Vladimíra Papouška (autora raffelovské monografie Zpívám elektrickému tělu). – Vychází ve spolupráci s Filozofickou fakultou Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích za podpory Ministerstva kultury ČR.

Dickinson Bruce - The Mandrake Project (Deluxe Edition) CD
Paul Bruce Dickinson (narodený 7. augusta 1958) je anglický spevák, známy najmä ako hlavný spevák heavymetalovej skupiny Iron Maiden. Dickinson účinkoval v kapele v dvoch obdobiach, od roku 1981 do roku 1993 a od roku 1999 do súčasnosti. Je známy svojim širokým operným vokálnym štýlom a energickou pódiovou prítomnosťou. Dickinson začal svoju hudobnú kariéru v kapele malých krčmových skupín v 70. rokoch minulého storočia, keď navštevoval školu v Sheffielde a univerzitu v Londýne. V roku 1979 sa pripojil k britskej new wave heavymetalovej skupine Samson, s ktorou si získal určitú popularitu pod umeleckým menom „Bruce Bruce“ a účinkoval na dvoch štúdiových platniach. V roku 1981 opustil Samson, aby sa pripojil k Iron Maiden, nahradil Paula Di'Anna a debutoval na ich albume The Number of the Beast z roku 1982. Počas jeho prvého pôsobenia v skupine vydali sériu amerických a britských platinových a zlatých albumov v 80. a začiatkom 90. rokov.
Bruce Dickinson ako jeden z najväčších a najvýraznejších heavymetalových spevákov všetkých čias, vydá 1. marca 2024 u BMG Records úplne nový sólový album. Projekt s názvom The Mandrake Project ho spája s dlhoročným hudobným spolupracovníkom a producentom Royom Z. The Mandrake Project bude Dickinsonovým siedmym sólovým albumom a jeho prvým albumom od Tyranny Of Souls z roku 2005. The Mandrake Project je temný príbeh pre dospelých o sile, zneužívaní a boj o identitu na pozadí vedeckého a okultného génia.

Lacná kniha The Shadow Land (-90%)
From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes a mesmerizing novel that spans the past and the present—and unearths the troubled history of a gorgeous but haunted country. A young American woman, Alexandra Boyd, has traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, hoping that life abroad will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. Soon after arriving in this elegant East European city, however, she helps an elderly couple into a taxi—and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding an urn filled with human ashes. As Alexandra sets out to locate the family and return this precious item, she will first have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by political oppression—and she will find out all too quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own danger. Elizabeth Kostova’s new novel is a tale of immense scope that delves into the horrors of a century and traverses the culture and landscape of this mysterious country. Suspenseful and beautifully written, it explores the power of stories, the pull of the past, and the hope and meaning that can sometimes be found in the aftermath of loss. Advance praise for The Shadow Land “In The Shadow Land, Elizabeth Kostova, a master storyteller, brings vividly to life an unfamiliar country—Bulgaria—and a painful history that feels particularly relevant now. You won’t want to put down this remarkable book.”—Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs “In this brilliant work, what appears at first a minor mystery quickly becomes emblematic of a whole country’s hidden history. Lyrical and compelling, The Shadow Land proves a profound meditation on how evil is inflicted, endured, and, through courage and compassion, defeated. Elizabeth Kostova’s third novel clearly establishes her as one of America’s finest writers.”—Ron Rash, author of The Risen “The Shadow Land is thrilling, and not just as a gripping tale. It’s also thrilling to watch such a talented writer cast her spell. The central character actually begins this deft novel in an urn, only to emerge as one of the most memorable characters I’ve encountered in a long time.”—Richard Russo, author of Everybody’s Fool “Transporting . . . draws us into Bulgarian history and character revelation like an elegant, mysterious labyrinth. Page-turning, evocative, and richly imagined.”—Dominic Smith, author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos Praise for Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian “Quite extraordinary . . . Kostova is a natural storyteller. . . . She has refashioned the vampire myth into a compelling contemporary novel, a late-night page-turner.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Hypnotic . . . a thrill ride through history.”—The Denver Post “Part thriller, part history, part romance . . . Kostova has a keen sense of storytelling and she has a marvelous story to tell.”—Baltimore Sun Praise for The Swan Thieves “Exquisite.”—The Boston Globe “Engrossing.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Stunning . . . A beautifully written tale of art, love and an obsession triggered by both.”—Associated Press.
