Berlin Alexanderplatz
The great novel of 1920s Berlin life, in a new translation by Michael Hofmann, translator of Alone in Berlin
Franz Biberkopf is back on the streets of Berlin. Determined to go straight after a stint in prison, he finds himself thwarted by an unpredictable external agency that looks an awful lot like fate. Cheated, humiliated, thrown from a moving car; embroiled in an underworld of pimps, thugs, drunks and prostitutes, Franz picks himself up over and over again - until one day he is struck a monstrous blow which might just prove his final downfall.
A dazzling collage of newspaper reports, Biblical stories, drinking songs and urban slang, Berlin Alexanderplatz is the great novel of Berlin life: inventing, styling and recreating the city as reality and dream; mimicking its movements and rhythms; immortalizing its pubs, abattoirs, apartments and chaotic streets. From the gutter to the stars, this is the whole picture of the city.
Berlin Alexanderplatz brought fame in 1929 to its author Alfred Döblin, until then an impecunious writer and doctor in a working-class neighbourhood in the east of Berlin. Success at home was short-lived, however; Doblin, a Jew, left Germany the day after the Reichstag Fire in 1933, and did not return until 1945. This landmark translation by Michael Hofmann is the first to do justice to Berlin Alexanderplatz in English, brilliantly capturing the energy, prodigality and inventiveness of Döblin's masterpiece.

Milujte se a množte se. Aneb... jak to všechno začalo.
Vypráví Jan Werich
V Písmu svatém se praví, že na počátku všeho života na Zemi byla tma a Pánbůh. V případě slavného česko-francouzského animovaného snímku z roku 1957 spíše dobrácký stařeček, který si se svými třemi věrnými pomocníky – andělíčky, stanoví šestidenní plán na vytvoření vesmíru, slunce a hvězd, Země, vody, rostlin, zvířat a nakonec i člověka. Do práce se mu však neustále plete zlomyslný a všetečný ďábel, který kazí, co se jen dá… “Budiž světlo” - praví Pánbůh ústy vypravěče Jana Wericha, netušíc, že Stvoření světa, natočené podle seriálů francouzského karikaturisty Jeana Effela, se stane jedním z nejkrásnějších animovaných filmů české kinematografie, který baví diváky i vice než 50 let od svého vzniku.

Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand was one of great designers of the twentieth century. A pioneer of modernism, her work was often overshadowed by her more famous male collaborators, who included Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouve. However, in recent years her reputation as a furniture designer and architect has matched the stature of her peers - her furniture in particular has become highly prized by collectors. From the 1920s onwards, Perriand was instrumental in bringing the modernist aesthetic to interiors. But she also believed in the synthesis of the arts and was friends with visual artists such as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Leger. This book will explore Perriand's journey from the machine aesthetic to her adoption of natural forms, and from modular furniture systems to major architectural projects such as Les Arcs ski resort. Featuring some of her most famous interiors, as well as her original furniture, her photography and her personal notebooks, this book sheds new light on Perriand's creative process and her place in design history. It will accompany the forthcoming Design Museum exhibition of the same title, which will coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Perriand's last significant presentation in London, held at the Design Museum in 1996.

Irreplaceable
All across the world, irreplaceable habitats are under threat. Unique ecosystems of plants and animals are being destroyed by human intervention. From the tiny to the vast, from marshland to meadow, and from Kent to Glasgow to India to America, they are disappearing.
Irreplaceable is not only a love letter to the haunting beauty of these landscapes and the wild species that call them home, including nightingales, lynxes, hornbills, redwoods and elephant seals, it is also a timely reminder of the vital connections between humans and nature, and all that we stand to lose in terms of wonder and wellbeing. This is a book about the power of resistance in an age of loss; a testament to the transformative possibilities that emerge when people come together to defend our most special places and wildlife from extinction.
Exploring treasured coral reefs and remote mountains, tropical jungle and ancient woodland, urban allotments and tallgrass prairie, Julian Hoffman traces the stories of threatened places around the globe through the voices of local communities and grassroots campaigners as well as professional ecologists and academics. And in the process, he asks what a deep emotional relationship with place offers us - culturally, socially and psychologically. In this rigorous, intimate and impassioned account, he presents a powerful call to arms in the face of unconscionable natural destruction.

Camino- A lélek utazása
Shirley MacLaine csaknem három évtizede kezdett merész vállalkozásában, hogy megossza olvasóival a világ spirituális értelmezése terén szerzett tapasztalatait. Mondanivalójának elevenségét és érdekességét bizonyítja, hogy sikerkönyvei - Találd meg önmagad, Játék az élet, Benső útjaimon - a mai napig számtalan olvasót vonzanak. Legújabb könyve, a Camino minden eddiginél különlegesebb. Egy utazás történetét mondja el: két névtelen, kézírásos levéllel kezdődött, melyek arra ösztönözték Shirley-t, hogy járja végig a Santiago de Compostela-i zarándokutat. A történet során számtalan híres zarándok érkezett ide egész Európából. Ez egy ősi - és a hagyomány szerint varázslatos - zarándokút. Assisi Szent Ferenctől és Nagy Károlytól kezdve Ferdinánd királyon és Izabella királynőn át Dantéig és Chaucer-ig sokan vállalkoztak a cskanem 500 mérföldes út megtételére. Shirley számára a Camino nem csak szellemi, de fizikai kihívást is jelentett. Valóban rendkívüli teljesítmény egy hatvanas éveiben járó nő részéről, hogy napi húsz mérföldet gyalogolva harminc nap alatt teljesíti az erőt próbáló feladatot. Ám még ennél is meghökkentőbb a szellemben és lélekben megtett út, amely évezredekkel korábbra, elmúlt életeken át nyúlik vissza egészen az univerzum keletkezéséig. A rendkívüli intelligenciával, kíváncsisággal és melegséggel megáldott, s az önnön tapasztalati körén kívül eső emberek és helyek iránt kivételesen nyitott Shirley MacLaine írása az elme és a szív páratlan képességeit türközi. A Camino titokzatos energiája révén megmutatkozó felismerések mérlegelése és boncolgatása közepette végigjárja a Compostelába vezető utat, amely fokozatosan egyetemes úttá, a lélek utazásává alakul. Lélegzetelállító látomások és felismerések segítségével Shirley megérti a világegyetem jelentését, benne Atlantisz és Lemúria ősi civilizációjának titkait, bepillantást nyer az emberi genezisbe, a nemi különbségek és a szexualitás lényegébe, meglátja a magasabb szintű szeretet ösvényét.

We Are the Nerds
Reddit hails itself as 'the front page of the Internet'. It's the sixth most-visited website in the world -- and yet, millions have no idea what it is. They should be paying attention.
We Are the Nerds takes readers inside this captivating, maddening enterprise, whose army of obsessed users have been credited with everything from solving crimes and spurring millions in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and even landing Donald Trump in the White House. Reddit has become a mirror of the Internet itself: It has dark trenches, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a heart-warming ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
This is the gripping story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, transformed themselves from student video-gamers into Silicon Valley millionaires as they turned their creation into an icon of the digital age. But the journey was often fraught. Reporting on Reddit for more than six years, conducting hundreds of interviews and gaining exclusive access to its founders, Christine Lagorio-Chafkin has written the definitive account of the birth and life of Reddit. Packed with revelatory details about its biggest triumphs and controversies, this inside look at Reddit includes fresh insights on the relationship between Huffman and Ohanian, staff turmoil, the tragic life of Aaron Swartz, and Reddit's struggle to become profitable.
In a time when we are increasingly concerned about privacy and manipulation on social platforms, We Are the Nerds reveals Reddit's central role in the dissemination of culture and information in history's first fully digital century. Rigorously reported and highly entertaining, We Are the Nerds explores how this unique platform has changed the way we all communicate today.
Jeho fotr, to je lotr! DVD
2004 / Komedie / 115 minut / USA
Před čtyřmi lety před diváky předstoupil "zdravotní bratr" Greg (neboli Gaylord) Yebal ve filmu Fotr je lotr. Během víkendu, kdy ztratil zavazadlo, se mu ještě podařilo podpálit dvorek, trochu to přehnal s volejbalem ve vodě a postříkal kočku barvou. Jack Barnes, otec jeho přítelkyně, ho tehdy podrobil testu na detektoru lži. Dnes je již přítelkyně Pam jeho snoubenkou a oba mladí lidé chystají svatbu. Jenže budoucí tchán, který je utajeně bývalým agentem CIA, vůbec nemá zájem, aby se Greg Yebal do jejich rodinného klanu přiženil. Přesto chce dceři vyhovět a projeví přání seznámit se s rodiči budoucího zetě. Všichni tedy na prahu víkendu nastupují do Jackova luxusně vybaveného autokaru, který má dokonce silná, neprůstřelná okna z plexiskla, a odjíždějí na ostrov k rodičům Grega - Berniemu a Ros Yebalovým. Příštích 48 hodin stráví obě rodiny společně, aby se vzájemně poznaly. Pro Jacka to je příležitost důkladně prověřit, co je ta Yebalova rodina vlastně zač.
Víkend začíná docela dobře, ale všechno jde hladce jen do chvíle, než Jack zjistí, že Gregův otec sice je právník, ale již dlouho se své profesi nevěnuje. Gregova matka Ros má lékařský diplom, ale místo pořádné praxe je sexuální terapeutkou seniorů. Pak dojde k "záchodové epizodě", jejímiž protagonisty jsou Yebalových pes Moses a Barnesových kočka Jinx. Při obědě je odhaleno choulostivé tajemství kubánské kuchařky, dojde také k divokému fotbalovému zápasu. Prostě poznání rodiny Yebalových vůbec neprobíhá konvenčně.
První film končil otázkou: "Co to u čerta může být za lidi, kteří k příjmení Yebal pojmenují syna jménem Gaylord?" A právě tahle otázka otevřela možnost pokračování, v němž se dozvíme odpověď.

The Burrow
A superb new translation by Michael Hofmann of some of Kafka's most frightening and visionary short fiction Strange beasts, night terrors, absurd bureaucrats and sinister places abound in this collection of stories by Franz Kafka. Some are less than a page long, others more substantial; all were unpublished in his lifetime. These matchless short works range from the gleeful miniature horror 'Little Fable' to the off-kilter humour of 'Investigations of a Dog', and from the elaborate waking nightmare of 'Building the Great Wall of China' to the creeping unease of 'The Burrow', where a nameless creature's labyrinthine hiding place turns into a trap of fear and paranoia.

Az irodalom- és művelődéstörténeti tanulmánykötet huszonnégy írást ad közre a szerző elmúlt másfél évtizedének kutatásából. Miként a kötet alcíme (Püspökök. professzorok, poéták) jelzi, olyan kiváló egyházi személyekről is olvashatunk a könyvben, mint az Itáliából hazánkba érkezett Szent Gellért püspök, a középkori pécsi egyetem alapításának időszakában tevékenykedő Neszmélyi Miklós püspök s utóda, az "egyetemalapító" Vilmos püspök, a 18. századból a "könyvtáralapító" Klimó (Klimo) György pécsi püspök, továbbá III. János pécsi püspök, ismertebb nevén Janus Pannonius. Őket a költő és hadvezér Zrínyi Miklós, a Madách-leszármazott Balogh Károly, a legújabb korból pedig Csorba Győző és Tüskés Tibor követi.

The Know It Alls The Rise of Silicon Valley as a Political Powerhouse and Social Wrecking Ball
The Beginning: a Stanford University lab embarked on an idealistic quest to create an artificial intelligence that would benefit society, perhaps even profit the makers. There were few women or minorities in the department and its head rejected the very idea of authority, but really – what could go wrong?
Now: more and more aspects of our lives are being dictated by a tiny, unaccountable elite, a breakaway sect of free-market libertarians who are determined to bypass government and enrich themselves at the expense of society. Pioneers and self-proclaimed geniuses like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman and Mark Zuckerberg have not only made the Internet what it is today – their impact on the world has been profound.
This is a history of Silicon Valley through its eleven greatest entrepreneurs and a damning indictment of the greed, bias and outright prejudice of an industry that is fracturing America and taking the rest of us with it.

Misere
The coming of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century witnessed unprecedented changes in society: rapid economic progress went hand-in-hand with appalling working conditions, displacement, squalor and destitution for those at the bottom of the social scale. These new circumstances presented a challenge to contemporary image-makers, who wished to capture the effects of hunger, poverty and alienation in Britain, Ireland and France in the era before documentary photography. In this groundbreaking book, the eminent art historian Linda Nochlin examines the styles and expressive strategies that were used by artists and illustrators to capture this misere, roughly characterized as poverty that afflicts both body and soul. She investigates images of the Irish Famine in the period 1846–51; the gendered representation of misery, particularly of poor women and prostitutes; and the work of three very different artists: Théodore Géricault, Gustave Courbet and the less wellknown Fernand Pelez. The artists’ desire to depict the poor and the outcast accurately and convincingly is still a pertinent issue, though now, as Nochlin observes, the question has a moral and ethical dimension – does the documentary style belittle its subjects and degrade their condition?

Blitzscaling
LinkedIn co-founder, legendary investor and author of the NYT Bestseller The Start-up of You reveals the secret to starting and scaling massively valuable companies.
For most of the world, the terms "Silicon Valley" and "startup" are synonymous. Indeed, Silicon Valley is home to a disproportionate number of companies that have grown from garage startups into global giants.
But what is the secret to these startups' extraordinary success? Contrary to the popular narrative, it's not their superhuman founders or savvy venture capitalists. Rather, it's that they have learned how to Blitzscale.
Blitzscaling is a specific set of practices for igniting and managing dizzying growth; an accelerated path to the stage in a startup's life-cycle where the most value is created. It prioritizes speed over efficiency in an environment of uncertainty, and allows a company to go from "startup" to "scaleup" at a furious pace that captures the market.
Drawing on their experiences scaling startups into billion-dollar businesses, Hoffman and Yeh offer a framework for blitzscaling that can be replicated in any region or industry. Readers will learn how to design business models that support lightning-fast growth, navigate necessary shifts in strategy at each level of scale, and weather the management challenges that arise as their company grows.

The Wolf The UNDER THE NORTHERN SKY Series
A MASTERPIECE IN EPIC HISTORICAL FANTASY - A NEW VOICE TO RIVAL DAVID GEMMELL OR GEORGE RR MARTIN A great war has come to the land under the Northern Sky. Beyond the Black River, among the forests and mountains of the north, lives an ancient race of people. Their lives are measured in centuries, not decades; they revel in wilderness and resilience, and they scorn wealth and comfort.
By contrast, those in the south live in the moment, their lives more fleeting. They crave wealth and power, their ambition is limitless, and their cunning unmatched. When the armies of the south flood across the Black River, the fragile peace between the two races is shattered.
On a lightning-struck battlefield, the two sides will fight - for their people, for their land, for their very survival. Two sides. One victor.
The Wolf is a thrilling, savagely visceral, politically nuanced and unexpectedly wry exploration of power and identity - and how far one will go to defend them. WHAT REVIEWERS ARE ALREADY SAYING ABOUT CAREW'S BREATHTAKING FANTASY EPIC:'The next George RR Martin' - Mail on Sunday'Imagine Game of Thrones rewritten by John le Carre . .
