Dům v Matoušově ulici
V roce 1927 koupil dům v Matoušově ulici na Smíchově vdovec, židovský právník Eduard Schwarz, aby pro sebe a svou rodinu získal důstojné sídlo. Měl štěstí, že zemřel dřív než začala druhá světová válka. Tereza Boučková, která v domě od narození do své dospělosti žila a před několika lety se tam zase vrátila, nám ve svém románu předkládá téměř sto let trvající příběh Schwarzových potomků, ale i dalších obyvatel domu, vpletený do dějin dvacátého století. Autorka po jejich osudech doslova v přímém přenosu pátrá a je to tak intenzivní, že se čtenáři nechce knížku odložit, dokud ji nedočte do konce. Emotivně, s ironií, ale i smutkem píše o lidech, které chtěly obě zrůdné ideologie, nacismus a komunismus, ponížit, okrást, zavřít anebo zavraždit.
Talking Heads
The first book about the science of how, why and what happens when we talk, from the author of In Praise of Walking
Talking Heads is a stunning survey of the science of human connection and communication - from neurons to nations
We are social animals and talking is a defining part of what makes us human. Chatting with friends or debating the future, we move through life in a state of near-constant dialogue, bridging the gap between our inner and outer worlds.
But what purposes does conversation serve? In this revelatory tour of the science of talking, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara explores how and why we communicate, what is happening in our brains when we do it, and what it means for us as individuals, groups and societies. Our brains create our realities, but we shape them by talking.
How do our thoughts, memories, and conversations change the very fabric of our brains? What does it mean that we spend the majority of our thinking lives in a five-minute bubble around the present moment? Why does our sense of self solidify with age, even as we become more forgetful? How does our default mode of trusting what others say both influence life as we know it and empower us to effect change? What does it mean to say we imagine futures together? And how do our very nations begin as conversations?
Moving from the personal to the social and ultimately towards a radical new perspective on the defining phenomenon of our times, populist nationalism, this is the story of how conversation builds the worlds around us - and how, together, we can talk our way into a better tomorrow.

It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism
A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like.
It’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.
Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.
It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.
Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine
Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.

Optimal
Bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence Daniel Goleman & Cary Cherniss reveal practical methods for applying the principles of EI to more readily enter an optimal state of high performance and satisfaction, offering a roadmap to being at your best, every day.
There are moments when we achieve peak performance- an athlete plays a perfect game; a business has a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But these moments are often fleeting, and for every amazing day, we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying ones. Fulfillment doesn't come from isolated peak experiences, or elusive 'flow' states, but rather from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, while avoiding burnout and maintaining balance?
In Optimal, Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a great day, any day. They explain how to set a realistic, attainable goal of feeling satisfied that you've had a productive day - to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on research of how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they sketch what an optimal state feels like, and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance.
Optimal is the culmination of decades of scientific discoveries bearing on emotional intelligence. Enhanced emotional intelligence pays off in improved engagement, productivity and more satisfying days. In this book, you'll find the keys to competence in emotional intelligence, and practical methods for applying this skill set more readily. It will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance.

The Poisons We Drink
In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.
Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.
Then an enemy's iron bullet kills her mother, Venus's life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother's killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.'s most influential politicians.
As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it's hard to tell who to trust...Herself included.
The Poisons We Drink is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.

Women
15 hours
The missing. The forgotten. The brave… The women.
From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.
“Women can be heroes, too.”
When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.
The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.

Korespondence
Korespondence s významným religionistou, filosofem Gerhardem (Gershomem) Scholemem začíná v době, kdy Hannah Arendtová zápasí ve francouzském exilu o holou existenci. Spojovacím článkem mezi nimi je osud Scholemova přítele Waltera Benjamina, s nímž se Arendtová seznámila v emigraci v Paříži a který jí před jejím odjezdem do USA svěřil své rukopisy. Benjaminovi se však z Evropy uniknout nepodařilo roku 1940 spáchal sebevraždu na francouzsko-španělské hranici. V jednom z prvních dopisů informuje Scholema, který v té době žije už skoro dvě desetiletí v Palestině, o jeho tragickém osudu. Rozbíhá se tak dlouholetý dialog mezi New Yorkem a Jeruzalémem a mezi dvěma protichůdnými osobnostmi nezávislou politickou teoretičkou Arendtovou a přesvědčeným sionistou Scholemem, profesorem na Hebrejské univerzitě v Jeruzalémě a autorem zásadního díla o židovské mystice a kabale (Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism).
Musíme všichni někam na poušť
V životě básníka, grafika a překladatele Bohuslava Reynka patřilo přátelství s Janem Franzem mezi ty nejintenzivnější a nejniternější. Přestože byl Jan Franz, náročný literární kritik, překladatel a esejista, o osmnáct let mladší, vzniklo mezi nimi silné pouto, které přelomila až předčasná Franzova smrt (na válečné útrapy) v roce 1946. Oba spolu od počátku 30. let vedli korespondenční dialog, navzájem si hodnotili tvorbu a podporovali se v nelehkých chvílích. Navíc oba dva silně spojovalo jejich vysočinské venkovanství. Reynek žil v Petrkově u Havlíčkova Brodu, Franz (po studiích na pražské filozofické fakultě) často pobýval v rodném Jitkově u Havlíčkovy Borové. Kniha Musíme všichni někam na poušť představí příběh jejich neobyčejného přátelství, zpřístupní vzájemnou korespondenci, včetně dosud neznámých fotografií a archivních dokumentů. Edičně knihu připravil spisovatel Miloš Doležal, který se dlouhodobě věnuje odkazu obou mužů a graficky upravil Luboš Drtina. Kniha je vydávána u příležitosti 50. výročí smrti Bohuslava Reynka, tedy k 28. září 2021.
