Marián Hossa: My Journey from Trenčín to the Hall of Fame
A Stanley Cup champion and modern legend of the game, in his own words
Marián Hossa’s life is a lesson in the value of determination and perseverance. Born into a hockey family that included his father, a former player and coach of the Slovakian national team, Marián and his brother, Marcel, quickly fell in love with the sport. Before long, they began to display the level of skill that could lead to a professional career. But the odds of reaching the NHL from Trenčín, a town of 50,000 people nestled among the mountains of Slovakia, remained long.
Determined to follow their dreams, the Hossas persevered and were each eventually drafted in the first round. After some outstanding years in Ottawa and Atlanta, Marián moved on to Pittsburgh in 2008, where he helped lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit, a series his team lost.
Prioritizing winning over dollars, Hossa signed with the Red Wings the following season, where he again reached the Final only to find heartbreak again, improbably against the team he had just left, the Penguins. It seemed that perhaps he would never raise Lord Stanley’s Cup above his head.
But Hossa persevered, refusing to give in. In 2009, he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks, and played a key role in the team’s dynastic run the following decade, winning championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Then, yet another obstacle appeared in his path: an unusual and debilitating skin condition that compelled him to retire years before he’d planned.
?
In this inspiring and entertaining autobiography, Hossa brings readers inside the dressing room, onto the celebratory team plane, and alongside one of hockey’s greatest stars as he makes the biggest decisions of his career.
Also featuring photos from Hossa's personal collection, this is an essential read for all hockey fans.

Lacná kniha Ptačí sněm / The parliament of Fowls (-70%)
Díky své delikátní formě a vytříbenému obsahu, spojujícímu ty nejlepší prvky středověké básnické tradice, si Ptačí sněm anglického básníka Geoffreyho Chaucera (asi 1343–1400) zajistil nejen výsadní postavení v rámci autorova rozsáhlého díla, ale rovněž platí za klenot středověkého literárního kánonu. Skladba komorní délky zachycuje básníka neznalého lásky, jenž po dni stráveném nad latinskými spisy usíná neklidným spánkem. Ve snu se mu zjevuje římský vojevůdce Scipio Africanus, který se mu stává průvodcem a zavádí jej do alegorické zahrady, v níž „plodný květen vládne celý věk“ a kde básník poprvé dostává příležitost poznat (byť jen jako svědek) lásku a její rituály zblízka.
Ptačí sněm je ukázkou tzv. snového vidění, jednoho z nejoblíbenějších literárních žánrů vrcholného a pozdního středověku. O zdomácnění této formy se v anglickém prostředí nemalou měrou zasloužil právě Geoffrey Chaucer, a to jak překladem, tak vlastní tvorbou. Přestože datace i účel Ptačího sněmu jsou do značné míry spekulativní, mnohými historiky bývá báseň kladena do přímé souvislosti s námluvami mladého anglického krále Richarda II. a Annou Českou, dcerou římského císaře Karla IV., jíž vzdal Chaucer hold hned v několika svých skladbách. Zároveň se jedná o jeden z nejranějších dokladů spojení kultu svatého Valentýna s milostnou tematikou. Českému čtenáři se tímto vydáním dostává překlad básně do rukou poprvé, doplněný předmluvou nastiňující hlavní rysy žánru středověké snové poezie a Chaucerových variací na její témata a ukázkami z několika významných děl, jež s Ptačím sněmem úzce souvisejí.

The Book of Hope
A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope.
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?
Looking at the headlines?the worsening climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval?it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
Filled with inspiring stories and original photographs, The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future.
There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Electronic - Get The Message: The Best Of 2CD
KDO: V projektu Electronic se sešli dva významní britští hudebníci – zpěvák a kytarista Bernard Sumner z New Order a kytarista Johnny Marr z The Smiths. Na hudbě manchesterské skupiny se zčásti podíleli také Neil Tennant a Chris Lowe z Pet Shop Boys nebo Karl Bartos z Kraftwerk. Superskupina se zrodila v roce 1988, kdy frustrovaný Sumner hodlal natočit sólovou desku, ale během připrav pochopil, že ji nechce dělat sám. Oslovil Marra, se kterým už spolupracoval v minulosti. Debutový singl Getting Away With It proklouzl do americké Top 40 a Electronic následně předskakovali slavným Depeche Mode na jejich severoamerickém turné v roce 1990. Vydali tři studiová alba.
CO: Reedice. Sbírka nejdůležitějších momentů superskupiny, ve které v devadesátých letech působily ikony světové populární hudby, vyšla původně v roce 2006. Zájemci na desce najdou singly a jejich B strany i další nahrávky Electronic. K dispozici na 2CD a vůbec poprvé také na vinylu.

Banská Bystrica / Poézia svetla / The Poetry of Light
Za živa v Bystrici, po smrti v nebi.
Už po stáročia sa každé ráno prebúdza mesto do neopakovateľnej atmosféry. Prvé ranné slnečné lúče dopadajú na hrdo sa týčiace bystrické veže. Veže, ktoré dotvárajú kolorit Banskej Bystrice ako niekdajšieho starobylého baníckeho mesta. Mesta, ktoré žije svojou výnimočnosťou a dýcha históriou na každom rohu.
Zachovalé chrámy, veže, hradby a meštianske domy sú trvalým klenotom našich dejín. Príbehy z minulosti sú zaznamenané nielen v kamenných múroch budov. Cítiť ich pri prechádzkach tajomnými uličkami mesta, ktoré sa každý deň vynímajú v poézií svetla. Aj keď metropola stredného Slovenska prešla od svojho vzniku výraznými zmenami, svoje genius loci si zachovala dodnes.
Sugestívnym pohľadom na Banskú Bystricu, vyobrazenú na čiernobielych fotografiách, je snahou zachytiť memento dávnych čias cez hru svetla a tieňov až do dnešnej podoby. Aj keď stáročia poznačili vývoj a smerovanie osídlia pod Urpínom, dodnes je nasiaknuté svojou minulosťou.
Prevediem Vás nielen históriou, ale aj súčasnými náladami tohto jedinečného mesta v srdci Slovenska, ktoré si pre svoju krásu okamihu právom zaslúžilo označenie Perla Slovenska.
