My proti vám
Je tak snadné přimět lidi k nenávisti, až je nepochopitelné, že se vůbec navzájem snášejí. Volné pokračování románu Medvědín.
Román My proti vám vypráví o měsících následujících po událostech, které otřásly Medvědínem v předešlé knize. Nejlepší kamarádky Maya a Ana tráví léto na odlehlém ostrově a snaží se nechat celý svět za sebou, ale nic nedopadne tak, jak doufaly. Řevnivost mezi Medvědínem a sousedním městem Hedem přerůstá v zuřivý boj o peníze, moc a přežití, který vypukne naplno ve chvíli, kdy se střetnou oba hokejové kluby. Zároveň vyjde na povrch tajemství jistého mladého hráče a celé město musí ukázat, zač vlastně stojí. Bude se říkat, že toho roku přišlo do Medvědína násilí, ale není to pravda. Násilí tam totiž už dávno bylo.
Román My proti vám empaticky popisuje ničivé lidské vztahy na malém městě. Je to vyprávění o oddanosti, přátelství a lásce, která se nebojí čelit ničemu.

Betty a my
Kdybyste měla dát svému dítěti na cestu životem jednu knihu, která by to byla? Vejce a já.
Takto odpověděla Marta Kubišová na dotaz Tomáše Halíka v roce 2015. Proč zrovna Betty MacDonaldová, autorka Vejce a já, dosáhla u českých čtenářů (rozuměj: čtenářek) takové popularity? Co ji způsobilo? A proč se tak děje zrovna u nás a ne jinde? Autor nejdříve sleduje americké osudy života a díla Betty MacDonaldové v širších kulturně-společenských souvislostech; poté hledá české paralely, kódy a předpoklady; v další části dostávají slovo samotné české čtenářky a jejich názory; kniha končí shrnujícím pohledem na daný fenomén v širokém kontextu (čtenářské) kultury. Ba ne, není to jen osobitý humor, jímž se tato americká autorka vepsala do našich srdcí; do značné míry je to i její protofeminismus. Její kulturní mise v českém prostředí je jak čtenářská, tak emancipační.
Nick and Charlie
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman's debut novel Solitaire, which was praised as 'The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age' by The Times.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me."
NICK: "Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!
But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...

A World Apart and Other Stories
Kniha překladatelky Kathleen Hayes přibližuje čtenáři vůbec první anglické překlady povídek doposud neprávem spíše opomíjených českých autorek přelomu 19. a 20. století. Soubor osmi povídek tak nespojuje pouze osoba překladatelky, ale i doba vzniku, počátek ženské emancipace na začátku 20. století. Zdařilost výběru povídek je podpořena precizním a čtivým překladem povídek Boženy Benešové, Růženy Jesenské, Marie Majerové a dalších. Kniha je doplněna životopisy všech osmi autorek.
“It grew dark and a mist spread over the countryside like a curtain. We were at the Bohemian border. Customs control, shouting, the din of the station, and finally the train moved on with a monotonous drone.
‘It was right here that I met Teresa Elinson,’ Marta said, in the corner of the cozy compartment.
I replied: ‘Who is Teresa Elinson? I don’t remember you ever mentioning her.’
‘No, never. It was a kind of adventure. That time too the train hurtled into the dark, where red sparks flew and lights flashed, scattering in the mist...’”
Thus begins the story by Růžena Jesenská that gives this book its name. In this anthology, Kathleen Hayes has selected and translated eight stories by Czech female authors at the turn of the 19th and 20th century: a period of female political emancipation and impressive literary development. All of the writers included in the present volume were recognized in their own day and constitute a cross-section of the literary styles of the period. Tilschová’s “A Sad Time” is written in a Naturalist style; Jesenská’s “A World Apart” presents themes and motifs that appealed to the Decadents. Malířová’s “The Sylph” is both diaristic and satirical, while Svobodová’s ironical “A Great Passion”, with its rural setting and folklore motifs, reminds one of the writings of Karel Jaromír Erben. Preissová’s short story may be read as a celebration of folk culture. Benešová’s “Friends” is interesting for its psychological presentation of a child’s point of view and its implicit criticism of anti-Semitism.
The book is accompanied by the biographies of each author and an introduction by Kathleen Hayes.

My Stroke of Insight
The astonishing international bestseller that chronicles how a brain scientist's own stroke led to enlightenment.
On the morning of the 10th December 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain.
A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she lost the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four hours. As the damaged left side of her brain - the rational, logical, detail and time-oriented side - swung in an out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realities: the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive and emotional right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical left brain, that realized Jill was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.
In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey, Taylor brings to light a new perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery that she gained through the intimate experience of awakening her own injured mind. The journey to recovery took eight years for Jill to feel completely healed. Using her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insight gained from her right brain that December morning.

My Fair Lord
A hölgy kalapja hatalmas, haja homokszőke, arcán régi sebhely, farmerja repedt. Neve Fabyen, egyébként grafomán, kalandregényeket ír.
Egyszer kitalál egy ízig-vérig férfi hőst, mire az szembejön vele egy,addig holtunalmas, estélyen.
A férfiról csak azt lehet tudni, hogy Benetton-zöld kempingbusza, kék szeme, egy vagy több üldözője, és számos titka van. Pisztolytokot hord a hóna alatt, de nem stukkert tart benne. Azért nem teljesen fegyvertelen, hiszen roppant pimasz és mennydörgő pofonokat oszt.
Mire felgyújtja Fabyen kíváncsiságát, kevéssel azután, hogy érzékeit felgyújtotta, el is tűnik.
És ez így megy jó darabig. A pasas csupa titokzatosság. A titkot meg kell fejteni. Sokan ellenzik. Annál izgalmasabb.
