Obrazy, které by neměly existovat
Po celém světě se vyskytují obrazy z různých časových údobí, které skrývají tajemné a mysteriózní motivy. Malby a fotodokumenty, u nichž lze falšování zcela vyloučit, přesto ale odporují zdravému lidskému rozumu: moderně působící jeskynní malby, podivuhodné ikony, zobrazené UFO na obrazech z období renesance, dodnes nevysvětlené fotografie z kosmu pořízené při misích NASA atd. ¦ Jak si vysvětlit „moderní“ grafiti doby ledové? ¦ Kdo byli „bohové z Marsu“ vyobrazeni v pohoří Tassili? ¦ Jak mohly vzniknout nevysvětlitelné otisky na „svatých rouškách“? ¦ Existovaly již ve středověku fotografie a hologramy? ¦ Pochází zázračný meč Excalibur z Toskánska? ¦ Jaké záhady se skrývají za freskovitým kostelním uměním? ¦ Je nějaké racionální vysvětlení pro krvácející a plačící obrazy nebo zázraky konající ikony? ¦ Proč jsou na starých freskách a malbách znázorněny „neznámé létající objekty“? ¦ Potvrzují aktuální fotografie z kosmu existenci mimozemských inteligencí?

Micromegas by Voltaire (EN)
Audiobook Micromegas by Voltaire. First published in 1752, Micromegas is one of Voltaire’s best-known works. It is a tale of mordant irony, and actually the original science-fiction short story. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromégas discovers the people of Earth, so small compared to him that he first believes that no creature this size can hope to achieve any degree of intelligence; he will soon discover the ways and thoughts of these diminutive people, who clearly have an over-inflated idea of their own importance in the universe.

Chceli by sme Vám oznámiť, že zajtra nás aj s rodinami pozabíjajú
V apríli 1994 rwandská vláda vyzvala všetkých Hutuov, aby zabili všetkých Tutsiov. V priebehu nasledujúcich troch mesiacov bolo zabitých 800-tisíc Tutsiov v najväčšej genocíde od Hitlerovho vyvražďovania Židov. Kniha Philipa Gourevitcha je anatómiou zabíjania v Rwande, prenikavou históriou pozadia genocídy a nezabudnuteľnou správou o preživších.
Napriek tomu, že zabíjanie bolo technologicky nenáročné - vykonané prevažne mačetami -, uskutočnilo sa rýchlosťou vyrážajúcou dych. Išlo o najefektívnejšie masové vraždenie od čias, keď boli na Hirošimu a Nagasaki zhodené atómové bomby.
Gourevitch zachytáva nielen príčiny a priebeh genocídy, ale aj jej dopady na Rwandu a okolité krajiny. Podstatnou otázkou je, ako dokáže spoločnosť zložená z veľkej časti z vinníkov a ich obetí vôbec fungovať. Vypovedá veľa o šanci na vybudovanie humánneho politického zriadenia a odhodlaní ľudskej duše vo svete extrémov.

Chcel by som byť slonom na Srí Lanke
Azda každému z nás sa občas prisnije, že je nejakým zvieraťom. Dievčaťu, ktoré miluje kvietky, že je včielkou. Chlapcovi, ktorému sa nechce upratovať izbu, že je leňochodom. Ten, kto si nerád umýva zuby, je vo sne žabou, lebo tá, ako je známe, si zuby umývať nemusí. Milovníci opery sa stávajú motýlikmi, keďže tie sa do opery dostanú zadarmo na krku divákov. Autor tejto knižky by chcel byť slonom. Prečo? Pretože je ctiteľom vôní a keby mal nos dlhý ako chobot, mohol by ich lepšie ucítiť. A viete čo? Na chvíľku tým slonom naozaj bol – vtedy, keď písal túto knižku. Vonia ako teplé májové ráno. Neveríte? Privoňajte si k nej.

Jeden je chytrý a druhý hloupý, tlustý a hubený atd. Slavné dvojice vznikají i zanikají, ale ty nejlepší se nám navždy hluboko zapíší do paměti. Tato kniha přináší životní příběhy některých z nich. A již podle jmen jako: Bohdalová * Dvořák, Suchý * Šlitr či Simonová * Chladil je patrné, že se nudit rozhodně nebudete.
