Modrá CREW 25: Universal War One 5+6
Země už není. S její historií a slávou zmizely i miliardy zmařených životů. A vítězná Společnost industriálních kolonií zavedla ve zbytku Sluneční soustavy tuhý režim a jako každá tyranie se ohání vyšším zájmem. Před totalitním režimem není úniku. I když… možná že právě ta technologie, která zkázu umožnila, technologie pohrávající si s prostoročasem, by mohla lidem toužícím po svobodě najít nový domov někde daleko. Ale na cestě k této naději naše hrdiny ještě čeká nejeden boj, nelehká oběť... a také nejedno ohromující překvapení.
Modrá Crew 24: Universal War One 3+4
Záhadná Stěna, která rozdělila Sluneční soustavu, je ještě záhadnější, než kdo tušil. Ve skutečnosti se jedná o červí díru, která je schopná ničit celé planety. A také zakřivovat čas; a jestli jste si mysleli, že nic horšího než kosmická válka není, měli byste vidět kosmickou válku s časovými posuny. Eskadra Purgatory, jednotka složená z vyvrhelů, kteří tak tak unikli vojenskému soudu, je poslední nadějí lidstva, protože i když se podařilo zničit generátor červí díry ve vnější soustavě, Společnost industriálních kolonií má v záloze ještě další, a to poblíž Země. Pokud eskadra nezasáhne včas, jsou dny kolébky lidstva sečteny…
Miluj bližního svého - Love and War
Novela indického autora Sumita Mullicka, která vychází ve dvojjazyčném česko-anglickém vydání, je prvním vykročením tohoto zajímavého autora mezi české čtenáře. Aby mohl být člověk píšícím rebelem, musí mít fantazii. Musí být rebelem s fantazií. Sumit Mullick je takovouto osobností. Zavádí nás do světa fantazie se zcela reálnými problémy, které však zobrazuje tak, že nás nutí současně se smát i bát. Novela Miluj bližního svého hovoří jakoby Čechům ze srdce. Čechům, z nichž většina ke svému životu nepotřebuje církev ani omezující zákony, ale o to víc si cení obyčejné lidské svobody a světských radostí. Kdyby ji napsal český autor, pobavili bychom se, ale fakt, že vzešla z pera indického spisovatele, který hovoří „naší řečí“, jí dává neobvykle pikantní příchuť. Dostává se k nám touto formou poselství, nad nímž máme tendenci mávnout rukou, ale jež nás nutí k zamyšlení díky situacím vyhroceným ad absurdum, neumožňuje nám uniknout, buší nás do očí a křičí na nás ze stránek. Při čtení se budete velmi dobře bavit.
Novela je původně součástí širšího souboru povídek s (do češtiny nepřeložitelným) názvem „Fairyish Tales“, které jsou jakýmisi příběhy neskutečného skutečna. Titul Miluj bližního svého je první vlaštovkou z tohoto cyklu.

Zrcadlová četba - Crime and Punishment (B1-B2)
This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského. Spisovatel sám jej charakterizoval jako psychologický záznam jednoho zločinu. Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov je chudý student, který byl z finančních důvodů nucen zanechat studia na univerzitě. Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, ne-li dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků. Tento příběh však není o zločinu...

The Toys of Peace and Other Papers
This is the last collection of short stories written by the witty British author, Hector Hugh Munro, better known by his pen names "Saki" or "H. H. Munro", compiled posthumously by his friend, Rothay Reynolds.The title story is a humorous tale of trying to indoctrinate young boys with a culture of peace rather than war, by a mother and her brother, Harvey, who give her boys "peace toys" for Easter instead of toy guns, tin soldiers, and the like. Excerpt:"A quantity of crinkly paper shavings was the first thing that met the view when the lid was removed; the most exiting toys always began like that. Harvey pushed back the top layer and drew forth a square, rather featureless building."'It’s a fort!' exclaimed Bertie. ..."'It’s a municipal dust-bin,' said Harvey hurriedly; 'you see all the refuse and litter of a town is collected there, instead of lying about and injuring the health of the citizens.'"The boys were not impressed by such gifts as tin statues of economists, scientists, sanitary inspectors, and politicians, rather than soldiers and heroes; models of municipal buildings rather than forts; toy hoes instead of toy guns. Left to play with the new politically correct toys, the boys manage to completely thwart the plan, to the frustration of the well-meaning adults.There are 33 stories in all, plus an introduction about the life of the author written by Rothay Reynolds.

The Free World: Art and Thought in the Cold War
The Cold War was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, in the broadest sense - economic and political, artistic and personal.
In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar and critic Louis Menand tells the story of American culture in the pivotal years from the end of World War II to Vietnam and stresses the rich flow of ideas across the Atlantic.
How did elitism and an anti-totalitarian scepticism of passion and ideology give way to a new sensibility defined by experimentation and loving the Beatles? How was the ideal of 'freedom' applied to causes that ranged from anti-communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-creation via art and even crime? With the wit and insight familiar to readers of The Metaphysical Club, Menand takes us inside Hannah Arendt's Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and the post-war vogue for French existentialism, structuralism and post-structuralism.
He also shows how Europeans played a vital role in promoting and influencing American art and thought, revealing how America's once neglected culture became respected and adored. With unprecedented verve and range, this book offers a masterly account of the main characters and minor figures who played part in shaping the post-war world of art and thought.
