Akane-banashi, Vol. 2
Akane takes on the world of rakugo to avenge her father!
Shinta Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shin’uchi exam—the test that would make him a top-rank headliner and master storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. Akane Osaki, his daughter and biggest fan, spies on him while he practices and learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa expels everyone after the exam with no explanation, a fire is lit inside Akane. From that day forth, she has had one goal—to avenge her father and prove his art was worthy of the title of shin’uchi.
Akane accompanies her senior apprentice Kyoji to a retirement home to perform as his zenza opening act before he takes the stage. Her assignment is to offer rakugo that pleases the audience in front of her. How will Akane be able to prove to Kyoji that she has grown from his training? Later, she learns about a rakugo competition for students. The presiding judge is none other than Issho Arakawa—the man who banished Akane’s father from the Arakawa school. Desperate to take part in the competition, Akane must first seek permission from Master Shiguma. He allows her to participate under one unique, tongue-twisting condition…“Jugemu.”

Mýty o sebevraždě
Sebevražda je bezpochyby tabuizovaným tématem. Žádný jiný způsob úmrtí nevyvolává tolik pocitů studu, lítosti a nepochopení. Kolem sebevražd proto dodnes panuje mnoho mýtů. Autor, uznávaný odborník na sebevraždy, se snaží na tyto mýty podívat z pohledu vědy. Jedná se o devět přesvědčení typu O sebevraždě je lepší nemluvit, Někdo, kdo myslí na sebevraždu, chce zemřít, Média mají vliv na počet sebevražd ve společnosti, Antidepresiva riziko sebevraždy zvyšují, Umělci jsou k sebevraždě náchylnější, Ženy o sebevraždě častěji mluví, muži na ni častěji umírají, Víc lidí se zabíjí v době svátků. Některé z těchto výroků jsou skutečně vyvráceny jako mýty, zatímco u jiných se dozvíme, že věda na ně nedává definitivní odpověď.
Kniha je určena pro všechny, kdo chtějí více pochopit jedince, již se chtějí zabít, i pro odborníky, kteří chtějí o tomto tématu vhodně komunikovat se svými klienty.
Nizozemec Derek de Beurs vystudoval jazzovou kytaru a klinickou psychologii. Dnes je mezinárodně uznáván jako odborník na prevenci sebevražd a na komunikaci se suicidálními pacienty. Působí v utrechtském Institutu Trimbos a na Svobodné univerzitě v Amsterdamu.

Kámen
Již mnohokrát se autorka přesvědčila, že akce „Kámen“ má neobvyklé, zvláštní kouzlo. Umí otevírat lidská srdce a lidi sbližovat. Není tedy divu, že je tu nové, rozšířené vydání. Prostřednictvím barevných fotografií přibližuje důležité události, které s prvním vydáním více či méně souvisí.
Právě tato kniha se totiž stala přelomovou prací k odhalení a zdokumentování jednoho z nejpromyšlenějších komunistických zločinů ze začátku studené války, tzv. akce KÁMEN. Přísně tajná a kamuflovaná past organizovaná bezpečnostním aparátem v okolí hraničního přechodu Všeruby na Domažlicku si kladla za cíl odstranit vybrané osobnosti z veřejného života a „izolovat“ je od „světa“. Objevná studie se zaměřuje na oběti, pachatele, a zejména pak na osoby, které hrály důležitou roli na obou stranách tragického dramatu, z něhož vyplývají i problémy protikomunistického odboje.
Zásadním přínosem pro objasnění případu falešných hranic jsou autorkou v roce 2013 objevené a dosud nezveřejněné paměti klíčového svědka Stanislava Lišky.
Autentičnost a závažnost důkazů o zločinném spolčení a jeho pozadí podtrhují odborní recenzenti knihy, historikové Igor Lukeš a Václav Veber. Badatelka a dnes už i scénáristka, která publikuje a přednáší také v zahraničí, předkládá reálný pohled na jeden z důsledků komunistického převratu v Československu – zločinné praktiky tajné policie inspirované sovětským vzorem.
Kniha byla morální výzvou příslušným českým úřadům, aby proti tehdy žijícím viníkům zakročily podle práva, a téměř okamžitě se stala součástí vyšetřovacího spisu vysokého důstojníka StB Evžena Abrahamoviče.
Hry - Labyrint světa a ráj biče
Kniha je prvním a zatím nejucelenějším průřezem dramatickou tvorbou Romana Sikory (1970), který patří v současné době k nejkontroverznějším, ale také k nejhranějším a nejpřekládanějším českým dramatikům. První oddíl nabízí Sikorovy dramatické metafory o světě: Tank, Vlci, Nehybnost, Smrt talentovaného vepře, Zpověď masochisty, Snídaně s Leviathanem, Pražské Jezulátko a Tři dny. Poté následují apokryfní dramata a starší pokusy o velké drama: Sodomagomora!, Smetení Antigony, Kolchida a Jitro kouzelníků. Satirické a sarkastické hry, dramatické naschvály a osobité hříčky s politickými náměty výbor uzavírají: Opory společnosti, Včera to spustili, Jiříkovo vidění, Pohřbívání, A konečně se dobře žilo... a Na cestě k vítězství. Součástí kníhy jsou také tři studie (Barbora Schnelle, Libor Vodička a Michal Čunderle) a bibliografie, výběr z ohlasů, překladů a zahraničních inscenací.
The Scarlet Alchemist
You cannot create good without also creating evil.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her.
A dark YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Oar Than Friends
She's rowing for Cambridge. He's rowing for Oxford. But they just can't keep one another at oar's length . . .
Arthur Osbourne-Cloud has his future mapped out for him – graduate Oxford and follow his dreadful father into politics. Except Arthur wants anything but that. He’d rather spend his days rowing for gold at the Olympics,.
And this year he has the Boat Race to win.
Kate Astley also has her future mapped out. Fly half-way across the world, and win a scholarship at Cambridge University to study medicine. Oh, and crew for the legendary Boat Race. Seems simple enough.
But then she meets Arthur.
For Arthur, this feisty American challenges everything he's been taught to believe, while Kate battles between what she's expected to do, and what she wants to do.
The bitter rivalry between their universities ought to destroy them. Or will it just be a matter of time before they surrender to the sizzling chemistry between them?
But In The Boat Race, there can only be one winner. Who will sink and who will swim?
Cerith Wyn Evans
A definitive and timely monograph celebrating the work of ground-breaking conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans
Cerith Wyn Evans is one of today's most respected and acclaimed sculptors. Born in Wales and educated through his first language of Welsgh, his work reflects his fascination with literature, film, music, and philosophy. Evans is an artist interested in language and how this can be perceived in spatial terms.
Originally an experimental filmmaker, in the 1990s Evans started creating sculptures and installations defined by poetic conceptualism and elegant aesthetic forms. Often made of neon light, his pieces subtly disrupt existing systems of communication, either through the subversion and alteration of given spatial forms or by adopting a communal rather than a singular, authoritarian voice.
In 2003 Evans represented Wales at the country’s inaugural pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale. This book, the first comprehensive study dedicated to his work, includes contributions by luminaries such as the former Guggenheim Chief, Nancy Spector and the 2011 Venice Biennale director, Daniel Birnbaum, together with a previously unpublished text by Evans himself.
The Rejects
Imagine you've made it. You and your friends have hit the big time in music and you're going to be a star. But then, quite suddenly, it's over. Your best friends don't want you anymore, and you're on the outside. Perhaps they're tired of your bad habits, they think you're not good enough, or they sense you just don't want it as much as they do. Whatever the cause, you're a reject. So, what do you do next?
Featuring a player rejected by both Nirvana and Soundgarden who became a decorated special forces soldier, Britpoppers who spiralled into addiction before becoming novelists and missionaries, the terrifying story of Guns N' Roses' first drummer, super-rejecting band leaders, self-destroying rappers, troubled hard rock bassists and girl-band burnouts, The Rejects takes an intimate, thoughtful look at people who've been kicked out of bands, what they experienced and what came afterwards.
Coming from a writer with twenty years' music industry experience, The Rejects is a sympathetic study of some of music's most fascinating characters, and what happens when the dream comes crashing to an end. The result is a compelling alternative history of popular music.
The Young Man
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
Annie Ernaux's most recent book, dazzling and breathtaking, published in France in 2022, is about her affair with a man 30 years her junior.
“A sublime book.” —Elle
“Once again the work of the writer Annie Ernaux appears as both a rigorous study of life and an experiment. These fragments of living, however evanescent, are precious, irreplaceable, like a skin that never fades.” —Caroline Montpetit in Le Devoir
The Young Man is Annie Ernaux’s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some 30 years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and at the same time leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time— together with a sense that she is living her life backwards.
Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course, and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the “scandalous girl” she once was, but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing. It was first published in France in 2022.
Moby Dick
With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd, Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and co-editor of 'Poetry Review'.
Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic.
But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab's appalling crusade, it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands, each individual responsible for the security of each.
Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education:
in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. Expanding to equal his 'mighty theme' - not only the whale but all things sublime - Melville breathes in the world's great literature. Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written by an American.

Radio Silence
The second novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, the author of the million-copy bestselling Heartstopper books—now a major Netflix series.
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?
Frances has always been a study machine with one goal: elite university. Nothing will stand in her way. Not friends, not a guilty secret—not even the person she is on the inside.
But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favorite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.
Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances’s dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past…
She has to confess why Carys disappeared…
Meanwhile at university, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.
It’s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it’s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.
Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.
A coming-of-age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity, and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour de force by the most exciting writer of her generation.
