The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

The Other Renaissance
An 'essential book for 2023', as selected by the Irish Examiner
It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This 'Other Renaissance' was initially centred on the city of Bruges in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, England, and even in Italy itself.
Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck and Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this 'Other Renaissance' played as significant a role as the Italian renaissance in bringing our modern world into being.
The Other Side
It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men - including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee - without repercussion. The fact that so many radical women artists of their generation - and earlier - also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has for too long been sorely neglected.
In THE OTHER SIDE, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women, from the twelfth-century mystic, composer and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Pollock; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist, Hilma af Klint, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York's Guggenheim broke all attendance records; the 'Desert Transcendentalist', Agnes Pelton, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California; the Swiss healer, Emma Kunz, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients; and the British surrealist and occultist, Ithell Colquhoun, whose estate of more than 5,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with, and learn from, other dimensions.
Weaving in and out of these myriad lives, sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual, the gender exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalised group of artists, THE OTHER SIDE is an intoxicating blend of memoir, biography and art history.

The Great Plains and Other Great Experiences/Velké pláně a další velké zážitky
"Americký Středozápad je dalším tématem, který zaujal autorku po napsání knížek o našich krajanech v Texasu. Stejně jako do Texasu odcházeli lidé z českých zemí do Kansasu, Nebrasky, Iowy a dalších míst, kde se mohli usadit. Byla zde úrodná půda a i když, hlavně z počátku tu život nebyl rozhodně lehký, měli zde možnost svobodného podnikání, ať v řemeslech či v zemědělství.
Autorka se ve svých reportážích a rozhovorech ještě částečně vrací do Texasu, dále provází čtenáře českou částí Iowy, kde nechybí výlet do Spillville a vzpomínka a dokumenty na zdejší pobyt Antonína Dvořáka v roce 1893, představení tamějšího muzea bratrů Bílých, kteří vyřezávali ze dřeva světové unikátní hrací hodiny a kde je byt, kde slavný skladatel tehdy bydlel, dále představení známého českého muzea v Cedar Rapids, aj. Ale nejen muzea, české kostely, školy a hřbitovy jsou v knize popisovány. Více prostoru je věnováno současným a význačným Čechům jako např. bratrům Klimešovým (původem z Jižních Čech), kteří se starají o veškerou historii a památky Iowy, elegantní a aktivní honorární konzulce Kansasu Sharon Valasek, absolventce vojenské školy a nyní farmářce a chovatelce závodních koní Marii J., atd.

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Paycheck and Other Classic Stories by Philip K. Dick
With a Preface by the Author and an Introduction by Roger Zelazny "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe inspiring." --"The Washington Post" Readers worldwide consider Philip K. Dick to have been the greatest science fiction writer on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now presented annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. This collection draws from the writer's earliest short and medium-length fiction (including several previously unpublished stories), written during the years 1952-1955, and features such fascinating stories as "Paycheck " (adapted as a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman), "Beyond Lies the Wub, The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford, The Variable Man," and many others. Here, readers will find Dick's initial explorations of the themes he so brilliantly brought to life in his later work. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" More recently, Dick's short story "The Minority Report " inspired Steven Spielberg's movie of the same title. The classic stories of Philip K. Dick offer an intriguing glimpse into the imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. "Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable." --"The New York Times Book Review" "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --"The Wall Street Journal"

Az én hibám
Nicholas Leisternek lehetetlen ellenállni. Kék szem, éjfekete haj, magas termet... minden stimmel, kivéve, hogy ő Noah új mostohatestvére, és megtestesíti mindazt, amitől a lány egész életében menekült. És lassanként az is kiderül, hogy kettős életet él, és súlyos titkot rejteget milliomos apja elől...
Én és te
"Az emberek nagyon gyakran a megalkuvást hívják alkalmazkodásnak, mint ahogy a biztonságot hívják boldogságnak. Éppolyan önbecsapás mind a kettő."
Dr. Csernus Imre élő előadásai mindig népszerűek, ha azonban a párkapcsolatok adják a témát, kivétel nélkül zsúfolásig megtelik a terem. Miért okoz olyan gyakran problémát az, amire valamennyien vágyunk: hogy megtaláljuk és megőrizzük a szerelmet és a boldogságot? Ennek a kérdésnek ered a nyomába új könyvében a közismert pszichiáter.
A rövid választ már a könyv címe megadja. Nem véletlenül a "te és én" udvariassági sorrendje helyett Én és te, hiszen aki nem tudja elfogadni és szeretni önmagát, az mást sem képes igazán szeretni. A szerző ebből a tételből kiindulva halad végig a kapcsolatok mindannyiunk számára ismerős állomásain, a vonzalom ébredésétől az olyan gyakran bekövetkező szakításig, az első kamaszkori szárnypróbálgatásoktól a felnőttkori szerelmekig, a családalapítástól a gyerekek érkezésén át a válásig és az újrakezdésig, vagy adott esetben a kapcsolat sikeres megmentéséig.
Miért nem azonos a biztonság a boldogsággal? Miért olyan gyakori a társfüggőség? Hogyan öröklődnek a kapcsolati minták? Miért gond, ha egy párkapcsolatban két vámpír szívja egymás vérét? Miért nem érdemes tartanunk a kudarctól? Milyen intő jelek figyelmeztetnek arra, hogy hamarosan bekövetkezhet a szerelem halála? Miért nem jó ötlet együtt maradni a gyerekek miatt? Miért fontos meghúzni a határokat, betartani a megígért következményeket és vállalni a felelősséget a szavainkért és a tetteinkért? Miért fontos megtanulnunk, hogy az igazság félúton van? És szülőként miért kellene minderre időben megtanítani a gyerekeinket? Mire a könyv végére érünk, választ kapunk ezekre az életünket alapvetően meghatározó kérdésekre, és azt is megtanulhatjuk, hogyan tölthetjük fel nap mint nap a kapcsolatunk poharát.
Dr. Csernus Imre a munkája során mindig hangsúlyozza, ő csak javaslatokat tesz. Éppen ezért lesz az Én és te ha nem is kötelező, de ajánlott olvasmány mindenki számára, aki igazi szerelemre és hosszan tartó boldogságra vágyik.
"Ha szívvel-lélekkel állok az életemhez, akkor szívvel-lélekkel állok a másikhoz, a felnőttséghez, és a szexualitáshoz is. Ez a szívvel-lélekkel, mindent bele, felnőtt szemlélet az a mesterkulcs, amelyik minden zárat kinyit."
The Awakening & Other Short Stories
The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel. As Kaye Gibbons points out in her Introduction, Chopin "was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it."

Eugenics and Other Evils (EN)
"The Frenchman works until he can play. The American works until he can’t play; and then thanks the devil, his master, that he is donkey enough to die in harness. But the Englishman, as he has since become, works until he can pretend that he never worked at all." ‘Eugenics and Other Evils’ (1922) is a magnificent takedown of the entire basis of eugenic thought – the idea that controlled breeding will improve the human population.
