Komorní hůrka
Petr Maděra na sebe upozornil hned svou první sbírkou Krevel, která naznačovala, že se zde objevil další z rodu krajinářů s holanovsky temnými přesahy. Maděrova nová sbírka částečně navazuje na tyto duchovní portréty míst, mnohem více než dříve zde však získává na významu intimita domova a předivo rodinných vztahů. Ale právě tato intimita umožňuje básníkovi sestup do sebe sama a reflexi niterných dějů a záchvěvů, mnohdy neobyčejně surových a dramatických.

Lacná kniha Il Disprezzo
Protagonista ? uno scrittore di sceneggiature i cui rapporti con la moglie si illuminano e si complicano a contatto con il mondo della produzione cinematografica, della carriera e del successo. Questo libro muove da un dato positivo, un caso di fedelt? matrimoniale, per chiarirne tutta la natura di illusione, di reale sconfitta e profonda, moderna contraddizione. "...E' nel 'disprezzo' che la problematica centrale di Moravia trova la sua summa pi? precisa e complessa, quasi una unitaria enciclopedia della sua varia tematica." (Edoardo Sanguinetti)

Lacná kniha Catherine Blum (-70%)
En 1829, dans un village de Picardie, deux jeunes gens, Catherine Blum et Bernard Watrin, sont victimes d'une machination diabolique orchestrée par un rival jaloux et contrefait, l'orphelin Mathieu Goguelue, que seule une solide enqute parviendra démasquer.. Loin des sagas historiques, des histoires de cape et d'épée, Catherine Blum révle une facette méconnue du génie de Dumas, plus intimiste, plus social, plus descriptif, parfois proche de Balzac. Par ce livre, écrit Dominique Fernandez en préface, Dumas démontre avec éclat qu'il n'avait besoin ni de l'appui de grands événements historiques, ni du prestige attaché aux rois et aux surhommes, pour tre romancier.

La Mort n´est pas une fin 3
Sur les bords du Nil, en Égypte, près de Thèbes, 2 000 ans avant Jésus-Christ. Prêtre de la maison des morts, Imhotep doit veiller à l'entretien du tombeau d'un riche notable. En échange, il a reçu de nombreuses terres et des troupeaux. Ce propriétaire avisé n'a pas confiance dans l'esprit d'initiative de sa progéniture à qui il impose ses décisions. Devenue veuve, sa fille Renisenb revient vivre au domaine familial, et perçoit vite les tensions générées par cette dictature patriarcale. Les choses s'aggravent lorsque Imhotep rentre de Memphis accompagné de Nofret, une beauté de 18 ans présentée comme sa concubine. Le ton monte entre le père et ses fils à qui il reproche de n'avoir pas respecté ses consignes. Lorsqu'il repart régler quelques affaires, Nofret préfère rester seule au sein d'une famille hostile. Elle est jeune, belle et sait fort bien s'y prendre pour devenir riche. Pourtant, cet esprit machiavélique ignore que son attitude va déclencher une série de meurtres. Ce huis clos familial et les rivalités qui en découlent constitue l'unique roman historique d'Agatha Christie. Bien qu'elle ait choisi l'Égypte antique comme décor exotique, son intrigue reste résolument moderne. Une autre singularité de ce roman tient à l'absence de détective car délaissant ses habituelles enquêtes, la reine du crime a préféré écrire une chronique criminelle fluide et bien enlevée.

Revize střední Evropy
V roce 1986 vydali Erhard Busek a Emil Brix knihu Projekt střední Evropa a po třiceti letech se tito dva advokáti ideje střední Evropy rozhodli zaměřit se tento region ještě jednou, revidovat s odstupem své vize a objevit nové reflexe střední Evropy současné a snad i té budoucí. V knize se velmi erudovaným a zároveň dobře přístupným způsobem diskutují zásadní témata měnící se geopolitické a ekonomické reality našeho kontinentu. Přečteme si diagnózy a prognózy tohoto regionu a objevíme mnoho tušených, ale také nepředpokládaných historických, sociálních, kulturních a politických kontextů. Dojde i na reflexi vztahů mezi střední Evropou a Ruskou federací či Evropskou unií. Kniha vyšla doposud anglicky, polsky a maďarsky.
Podoby príležitostnosti v staršej slovenskej literatúre
Príležitostné žánre zostávali v slovenskej literárnej historiografii doposiaľ na pokraji záujmu a takmer bez reflexie, a to i napriek tomu, že v súvekej kultúre plnili významnú funkciu v kultúrnej komunikácii, ktorá súvisela s aktuálnou dobovou politickou a spoločenskou situáciou. A tiež napriek ich výpovednej hodnote smerom k tzv. malým dejinám, teda k udalostiam v životoch rodov, rodín, osobností, alebo vo vzťahu k lokalitám, regiónom, či v súvislosti s inštitúciami.
Potenciál príležitostných textov je široký, s presahom do viacerých vedných odborov.
V širšom význame slova sa totiž príležitostnosť prenáša do udalostí a sviatkov, rituálov, ktorými si komunita pripomína a utvrdzuje to, čo patrí do spoločného priestoru hodnôt a prežívania. Do príležitostných textov sa prenášali kultúrne kódy a modely, ktoré boli podstatné pre napĺňanie predstáv zmysluplného života komunity, pre jej koherentné fungovanie.

Rogan Gregory - Event Horizon
The first monograph of Rogan Gregory, the artist/designer on the forefront of contemporary organic form-making
Rogan Gregory's work pushes boundaries across media and scale from miniature bronze animal forms to towering sculptures and furniture in innovative aggregated materials. Gregory's iterative process and life-long interests in abstract forms, geology, and evolutionary biology allow him to develop an organic aesthetic unlike that of any designer working today.
This debut monograph explores Gregory's work through the elemental inspirations that condition his work. Contributions by landscape architect Edwina von Gal, interior designer Pamela Shamshiri, and conservation biologist Tremaine Gregory reflect the synthesis of disciplines Gregory brings to his practice. Co-published with R & Company, this book is an object in its own right, incorporating Gregory's design and materials sensibilities.
The Fury
Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.
'There were seven of us in all, trapped on the island.
One of us was a murderer . . .'
On a small private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar - an old friend - invites a select group of us to stay.
It'll be hot, sunny, perfect. A chance to relax and reconnect - and maybe for a few hidden truths to come out.
Because nothing on this island is quite what it seems.
Not Lana. Not her guests.
Certainly not the murderer - furiously plotting their crime . . .
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I'm going to tell you a story unlike any you've ever heard.
Carolina Herrera - ColormaniaColor and Fashion
Inspired by the fearless and fabulous Carolina Herrera woman, Wes Gordon partners with Elizaveta Porodina on painterly images merging bold colors and timeless beauty in a cinematic style.
The sophistication and modern femininity of the American luxury fashion house Carolina Herrera is captured in this evocative and vividly hued volume photographed by Elizaveta Porodina.

Inspired by dance, movement and the Herrera signature of bold color, this mesmerizing tome is flooded with photography of models and dancers in motion to reflect the vibrant energy and optimism of the clothing, arranged according to the chroma wheel instead of chronologically. Ethereal beauties, including singer and actress Dove Cameron, dancers Wendy Wheelan and Misa Kuranaga, and models Maggie Maurer and Mao Xing Xing, wear sweeping ballgowns, bold, saturated colors and dramatic silhouettes across ten collections designed by Wes Gordon over the past four years, capturing the fantastical universe of Beauty that is Carolina Herrera.
A Year of Last Things
With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery
Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived there since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world – describing himself as a 'mongrel', someone born out of diverse cultures.
Here, rediscovering the influence of every border crossed, he moves back and forth in time, from a childhood in Sri Lanka to Moliére’s chair during his last stage performance, from icons in Bulgarian churches to the Californian coast and loved Canadian rivers, merging memory with the present, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss. As he writes in the opening poem:
Reading the lines he loves
he slips them into a pocket,
wishes to die with his clothes
full of torn-free stanzas
and the telephone numbers
of his children in far cities
Poetry – where language is made to work hardest and burns with a gem-like flame - is what Ondaatje has returned to in this intimate history.
