Gerilla - Franciaország végnapjai
A polgárháború elkerülhetetlen volt. Élje át Franciaország utolsó három napjának apokalipszisét. A közeljövő sötét Franciaországában egy rendőrségi intézkedés egy párizsi külvárosi negyedben tragédiába torkollik. Az egyik csapdába csalt rendőr elveszti hidegvérét, és válogatás nélkül tüzet nyit. Az iszlamista gettó lángra lobban, amibe az egész ország beleremeg. Városról városra terjed tovább a tűz, a Köztársaság darabjaira hullik. A rendőröket, a bűnözőket, a terroristákat, az állami vezetőket, az újságírókat és az átlag polgárokat egyaránt maga alá temeti a káosz. Azáram- és vízszolgáltatás gyorsan megszűnik, az élelmiszerkészletek kimerülnek, nincs többé közrend, kommunikáció, szállítás és orvosi ellátás. A káosz eléri a vidéket, a társadalom széthullik, és a városok az erőszak, a fosztogatók, és hatalmas tűzvészek áldozatáulesnek. Mindentől megfosztva és magukra utalva, a polgároknak fel kell készülniük, hogy szembeszálljanak a pusztítással. "Ami Franciaországgal történik, megtörténik majd máshol is." A Gerillában leírt események a francia hírszerzés lehallgatásain, felderítésein és előrejelzésein alapulnak. Két évnyi, szakszolgálatok tagjaitól, valamint terror- és katasztrófa-szakértőktől történő információgyűjtés után, az Utoya (a Breivik-ügy) és A francia mechanikus narancs oknyomozó művek szerzője egy nagy sikerű ultrarealista regénnyel jelent meg, mely egy polgárháború lüktető történetét mutatja be. "Kötelező olvasmánnyá tenném 500 millió európai polgár számára!" /Földi László, titkosszolgálati szakértő”

My, hoši z pohraničí
Útlá knížečka, na půl hodiny čtení, víc reportáže než povídky, čtení srozumitelné hlavně těm, kdo po poslední válce vyrůstali v dosídlených pohraničních oblastech, kde žili pohromadě Češi odevšad, Češi z Volyně, Rumuni, Bulhaři, cikáni, nevysídlení Němci a kdovíjaká ještě směska. Pro ostatní Čechy (Pražáky zvláště) zprávy z jiného světa. Ta nejdůležitější z nich je tato: Stalo se a bylo, nedá se odestát, a kolik je hrobů, o kterých nikdo neví. Poučení? Skrze Aymého Zelenou kobylu: Který Francouz si dneska láme hlavu, že před skoro sto padesáti lety znásilňovali prušští vojáci jejich prapraprababičky? Asi jako v Hruškově majstrštyku Smrt Karla Fábery: Děti pocházející z těchto prapodivných svazků však už problémy mezi sebou neměly. Národnost jejich rodičů jim mohla být ukradená.
Sharpe ostroma
Richard Sharpe és az 1814-es téli hadjárat. Franciaország megszállása kezdetét vette, a brit haditengerészet pedig szolgálatába hívja Richard Sharpe őrnagyot, akire karrierjének egyik legveszélyesebb küldetése vár. Azt a feladatot kapja, hogy egy kis lövészcsapattal foglaljon el egy erődöt, és biztosítsa a partraszállást a francia partokon. Ám a haditengerészet egy vakmerő és nagyravágyó kapitánya, valamint régi ellensége, a francia kémfőnök, Pierre Ducos mesterkedései miatt Sharpe magára marad az ellenséges terület mélyén, ahol az elsöprő túlerővel szembenézve úgy tűnik, vereséget fog szenvedni. Nem marad más választása, mint egy amerikai kalózra bízni a sorsát, aki azonban nem rajong a brit megszállókért.

A különc lány nagy elszántsággal veti magát a nyomozásba, ám ezzel szinte egy időben újabb megoldandó feladattal találja magát szemben. Rick Bragg-gel, a gengszterek ellen küzdő rendőrfőnökkel kezd közös munkába. A férfi húgának is komoly szüksége van a segítségükre, ugyanis életveszélyesen megfenyegették, egy reggel pedig elrabolják a kislányát. A szálak a városon kívülre vezetnek, egy régi, kegyetlen ügyet felelevenítve. Francesca és Rick izgalmas és cseppet sem veszélytelen nyomozása kettejük kapcsolatát erős vonzalommá alakítja, és összekuszálódott életüket tovább bonyolítja, amikor váratlanul megjelenik Rick gyönyörű felesége, aki négy éve hagyta el a férfit.

The Golden Age of Photojournalism
Russell "Russ" Melcher came to Europe and photographed the superstars of the time, either during their visits to Paris and France or accompanied them on worldwide trips. He witnessed many world events from film festivals to terrorist attacks. Among the portrayed were royal families like the Windsors, Grace Kelly & the Monegasques, as well as film legends like Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster, Erol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock, Sofia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and music legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Harry Belafonte, and Yves Montand. In addition, there were political greats such as Charles DeGaulle, Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev, the Shah of Persia, American presidents, and many more. Later Russ Melcher became director of the legendary photo agency MAGNUM and worked with photo legends Robert Capa, Henry Cartier-Bresson, Ian Berry, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, to name a few. This large-format photo book is about the stories behind the images and personalities.
Entertaining, humorous, but also profound, Russ describes his way to the perfect photo, his individual perspective, up to the importance of photographic storytelling of this 'Golden Age of Photojournalism'. Russ Melcher is an important witness to that time, but also an American entertainer in Paris who encouraged his protagonists to do things that few photographers could manage, a true and trusted partner to the stars of that era through the ages. The book is organised according to the two decades and Russell's encounters with the stars of the time.

Frida Kahlo. 40th Ed.
Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art.
After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe.
This book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years.

Twenty-first-century innovation and imagination are evidenced in homes by established and emerging talents, such as Seth Stein, Nick Eldridge, Robin Partington, and Ken Shuttleworth.Much more than a celebration of influential houses, this richly illustrated overview is a comprehensive guide to shifting architectural movements and ideas, a survey of great architects with international relevance, and a journey through changing tastes, styles, aesthetics, and patterns of living.

The Long View
A wide-ranging and thought-provoking exploration of the importance of long-term thinking.
Humans are unique in our ability to understand time, able to comprehend the past and future like no other species. Yet modern-day technology and capitalism have supercharged our short-termist tendencies and trapped us in the present, at the mercy of reactive politics, quarterly business targets and 24-hour news cycles.
It wasn't always so. In medieval times, craftsmen worked on cathedrals that would be unfinished in their lifetime. Indigenous leaders fostered intergenerational reciprocity. And in the early twentieth century, writers dreamed of worlds thousands of years hence. Now, as we face long-term challenges on an unprecedented scale, how do we recapture that far-sighted vision?
Richard Fisher takes us from the boardrooms of Japan - home to some of the world's oldest businesses - to an Australian laboratory where an experiment started a century ago is still going strong. He examines the psychological biases that discourage the long view, and talks to the growing number of people from the worlds of philosophy, technology, science and the arts who are exploring smart ways to overcome them. How can we learn to widen our perception of time and honour our obligations to the lives of those not yet born?

Home is Where the Start Is
Families are complicated, even the 'normal' ones.
Our early years at home are when we lay down the blueprint for being a partner, parent, sibling, friend, colleague, neighbour, and even a citizen. Home is where we become who we are.
Even the best of childhoods is imperfect. And if there were difficulties - whether due to simple personality clashes, or issues such as authoritarian parenting, family break-up, illness, loss or addiction - it may be an ongoing struggle to manage our moods and emotions, though we may have no idea why. Psychotherapist Richard Hogan has seen it all when it comes to how the early years shape us - and he knows we can work on ourselves to rewrite the blueprint. In this book he draws on extensive research and thousands of conversations in the therapy room to explain how.
Packed full of eye-opening and liberating ideas, fascinating case studies and practical tools, Home is Where the Start Is also includes a remarkable account of Richard's own challenges as a child and teenager. He knows exactly what it's like to face the past squarely, grapple with the legacy of childhood unhappiness and work on creating a better future.
Home is Where the Start Is will help you become the best version of yourself you can be. And it is an invaluable source of advice for parents to give your child the best possible start.

Very Bad People
"Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth." - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

Art Is Life
Jerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have. An early champion of forgotten and overlooked women artists, he has also celebrated the pioneering work of African American, LGBTQ+, and other long-marginalized creators. Sotheby's Institute of Art has called him, simply, “the art critic.”
Now, in Art Is Life, Jerry Saltz draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points—from the cultural reset of 9/11 to the rolling social crises of today—Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture. Art Is Life offers Saltz’s eye-opening appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, David Wojnarowicz, Hilma af Klint, and Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and Marina Abramović; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock, Bill Traylor, and Willem de Kooning. Saltz celebrates landmarks like the Obama portraits by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, writes searchingly about disturbing moments such as the Ankara gallery assassination, and offers surprising takes on figures from Thomas Kinkade to Kim Kardashian. And he shares stories of his own haunted childhood, his time as a “failed artist,” and his epiphanies upon beholding work by Botticelli, Delacroix, and the cave painters of Niaux.
With his signature blend of candor and conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the fearless artist—reminding us that art is a kind of channeled voice of human experience, a necessary window onto our times. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.

Secret Royals
For the first time, The Secret Royals uncovers the remarkable relationship between the Royal Family and the intelligence community, from the reign of Queen Victoria to the death of Princess Diana.
In an enthralling narrative, Richard J. Aldrich and Rory Cormac show how the British secret services grew out of persistent attempts to assassinate Victoria and then operated on a private and informal basis, drawing on close personal relationships between senior spies, the aristocracy, and the monarchy. This reached its zenith after the murder of the Romanovs and the Russian revolution when, fearing a similar revolt in Britain, King George V considered using private networks to provide intelligence on the loyalty of the armed forces - and of the broader population.
In 1936, the dramatic abdication of Edward VIII formed a turning point in this relationship. What originally started as family feuding over a romantic liaison with the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, escalated into a national security crisis. Fearing the couple's Nazi sympathies as well as domestic instability, British spies turned their attention to the King. During the Second World War, his successor, King George VI gradually restored trust between the secret world and House of Windsor. Thereafter, Queen Elizabeth II regularly enacted her constitutional right to advise and warn, raising her eyebrow knowingly at prime ministers and spymasters alike.
Based on original research and new evidence, The Secret Royals presents the British monarchy in an entirely new light and reveals how far their majesties still call the shots in a hidden world.
