A Small Town in Ukraine
Decades ago, the historian Bernard Wasserstein set out to uncover the hidden past of the town forty miles west of Lviv where his family originated: Krakowiec (Krah-KOV-yets). In this book he recounts its dramatic and traumatic history. 'I want to observe and understand how some of the great forces that determined the shape of our times affected ordinary people.' The result is an exceptional, often moving book.
Wasserstein traces the arc of history across centuries of religious and political conflict, as armies of Cossacks, Turks, Swedes, and Muscovites rampaged through the region. In the age of enlightenment, the Polish magnate Ignacy Cetner built his palace at Krakowiec and, with his vivacious daughter, Princess Anna, created an arcadia of refinement and serenity. Under the Habsburg emperors after 1772, Krakowiec developed into a typical shtetl, with a jostling population of Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews.
In 1914, disaster struck. 'Seven years of terror and carnage' left a legacy of ferocious national antagonisms. During the Second World War the Jews were murdered in circumstances harrowingly described by Wasserstein. After the war the Poles were expelled and the town dwindled into a border outpost. Today, the storm of history once again flows through Krakowiec as hordes of refugees flee for their lives from Ukraine to Poland.
At the beginning and end of the book we encounter Wasserstein's own family, especially his grandfather Berl. In their lives and the many others Wasserstein has rediscovered, the people of Krakowiec become a prism through which we can feel the shocking immediacy of history. Original in conception and brilliantly achieved, Krakowiec is a masterpiece of recovery and insight.
Winsor McCay. The Complete Little Nemo
Meet Little Nemo, a diminutive hero of comic narrative, but one of the greatest dream voyagers of the 20th century. The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869-1934), restless sleeper Nemo inspired generations of artists with his weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling escapades.
Nemo's creator Winsor McCay was a founding figure in the modern American entertainment industry, above all with his revolutionary comics, which set standards for panel layout and storytelling technique, timing and pacing, and architectural and other detail that left an inestimable influence on subsequent artists, including Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini.
TASCHEN's sumptuous Winsor McCay - The Complete Little Nemo collects, in full, glorious color, all 549 episodes of Little Nemo. In the illustrated essay, art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay's life and work within the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry, and explores the immense art historical value of McCay's dream narrative. At once an adventure story, visual delight, and piece of cultural history, this publication is a tremendous monument to one of the most innovative pioneers-and one of the most intrepid explorers-of comic history.
Tajomstvo - The Secret
Fragmenty Veľkého tajomstva sa po stáročia vynárali v ústnej tradícii, v literatúre a v náboženských či filozofických dielach. Po prvý raz sa všetky zlomky Tajomstva spojili v neuveriteľnom odhalení, ktoré zmení život toho, kto ho zažije na vlastnej koži. V tejto knihe sa naučíte, ako Tajomstvo používať v každej oblasti života – nech sú to peniaze, zdravie, vzťahy či šťastie – a v každej interakcii so svetom. Začnete rozumieť sile, ktorá sa vo vás skrýva, a tento objav vnesie do vášho života radosť. Tajomstvo obsahuje múdrosť dnešných učiteľov, mužov a žien, ktorí ho použili pri budovaní zdravia, bohatstva a šťastia. Kniha prináša ich pôsobivé príbehy o tom, ako im poznanie Tajomstva pomohlo zbaviť sa chorôb, získať bohatstvo, prekonať prekážky a dosiahnuť veci, ktoré by mnohí považovali
za nemožné.
Vo svojich rukách držíte
Veľké tajomstvo…
Prahli po ňom mnohí. Po stáročia ho podávali ďalej, ukrývali, strácali, kradli a kupovali za obrovské sumy peňazí. Dávnym Tajomstvom sa dali viesť mnohé významné osobnosti našich dejín: Platón, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, Einstein... a vynálezcovia, teológovia, vedci a slávni myslitelia. Teraz je Tajomstvo odhalené celému svetu.
„Ako sa budete prehrýzať knihou a oboznamovať s Tajomstvom, dozviete sa, ako sa môžete stať, čím len chcete a dostať či robiť všetko, po čom zatúžite. Dozviete sa, kto naozaj ste. A zistíte, aká veľkoleposť vás v živote čaká.“

Beatles, The - The Red Album 1962 - 1966 (2023 Edition) 3LP
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola kolekcia rozšírená o 12 ďalších skladieb, vrátane prvých piesní Georga Harrisona a niekoľkých klasických beatlesovských verzií R&B a rock’N’rollových hitov, ktoré mali na kapelu taký vplyv. Kolekcia 3LP teraz obsahuje 38 skladieb, z ktorých 30 má nové mixy na rok 2023. 12 novo pridaných skladieb setu je zhromaždených na treťom vinyle. Vložka obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia z rokov 1962 – 1966 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.

The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.
