The Lost Country, Episode Four
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the Dinosaur Apocalypse …
How did it all begin? Well, that depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn't take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn't take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded.
Welcome to the Lost Country.
From "The Devil's Triangle":
There were six of them, as I said—all of whom rushed us the instant our feet touched the ground. All of whom snarled and charged us like wolverines as we raised our weapons and fired—the flare gun cracking and hissing, blanching the scarlet haze (for the sun had painted everything red and gold), its projectile punching through one of the raptors’ chests and lighting it up so that its ribs were backlit briefly and I could see, if only for an instant, its burning, beating heart.
Yet still they came, another one leaping at me even as I dropped the gun—which clattered against the planks—as I dropped it and grabbed the thing by its neck—then brought the knife down with my other hand and stabbed it between the eyes.
“Run!” I shouted, even as Amanda shot another—her second—and then bolted toward the shore, drawing the others so that I was able to snatch up the flare gun and quickly reload it; so that I was able to pursue them and to shoot one in the back—while Amanda turned and took out the last of them (shooting it in the head so that the back of its skull exploded like a spaghetti dinner thrown against the wall; so that it collapsed, writhing, about 10 feet in front of her—whereupon she quickly approached it and shot it again, just to be sure).
And then she looked at me (as the dead and dying animals lay all around us) and I looked back: our chests heaving; our faces covered in sweat, our worn clothes bloody and disheveled, and I knew that she knew—which was that today we were the predators, the thing needing to be feared—the killers. And that neither of us needed to worry; not about food or other predators or mysterious lights in the sky or anything. Because we were the masters of our fate, we and no one else, not even God. And we were the master of the world’s fate, too.
At which she ran to me and we collided and I held her fast, there on the long jetty in the Atlantic Ocean (in the Bermuda Triangle), there beneath a day moon and the blood-red sky, in an instant in which it was good, so very good, not to be afraid, not to be alone. And as to what may or may not have happened in those breaths, those pulse points between that moment and the next—the next day, the next search, the next milestone; as to that, I offer only a quote from Gandhi: “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

Cesta jako marijánka
Cesta jako mariánka je knihou výletní, skoro by se chtělo říci poutní, neboť kam nás autor zavede, probíhá poetická mše smyslových vjemů a doslova gurmánských počitků z vnímaného. Vaječina z čerstvých hub a vůně nezbytného presa jsou toho příkladem.
Autor nás ve své cestovní kuchařce provází beskydskou přírodou, jež tvoří hutný základ naložený ve směsi italských cestovních zážitků, navrch ochucený postřehy z pobytu na Maltě.
V Šlosarovi se snoubí cosi z Tomečka, cosi z Pavla, reportáže z italských cest mohou připomenout Čapka. Opojnost naznačená již v titulu knihy na nás dýchá z každého odstavce - stačí jen kouř slov přijmout a delší než malou chvíli v sobě zadržet. Dojde tak zprostředkovaně ke spojení s krásou, která nás na cestách obklopuje, a kterou možná z přemíry všední střízlivosti nejsme s to zplna procítit.
Šlosar je zkrátka malíř chutí a vjemů, který z krajiny vykrajuje pro čtenáře ty největší lahůdky. Přesvědčte se, že i láska k přírodě prochází žaludkem.

Lacná kniha On Freedom (-70%)
So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing "practices of freedom" by which we negotiate our interrelation with-indeed, our inseparability from-others, with all the care and constraint that relation entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion.
For Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture-from recent art world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis-is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company. On Freedom is an invigorating, essential book for challenging times.

Sheeran Ed - X (10th Anniversary) CD
Edward Christopher Sheeran (narodený 17. februára 1991) je anglický spevák a skladateľ. Narodil sa v Halifaxe v západnom Yorkshire a vyrastal vo Framlinghame v Suffolku a okolo jedenástich rokov začal písať piesne. Začiatkom roku 2011 Sheeran nezávisle vydal No. 5 Collaborations Project. V tom istom roku podpísal zmluvu s Asylum Records. Sheeranov debutový album "+" vyšiel v septembri 2011 a umiestnil sa na vrchole britského rebríčka albumov. Obsahoval jeho prvý hitový singel „The A Team“. V roku 2012 Sheeran vyhral Brit Awards za najlepšieho britského mužského sólového umelca a British Breakthrough Act. Sheeranov druhý štúdiový album "X" sa po vydaní v júni 2014 dostal na prvé miesto svetových rebríčkov. Bol vyhlásený za druhý najpredávanejší album na celom svete v roku 2015. V tom istom roku "X" vyhralo album roka na Brit Awards 2015 a získal cenu Ivora Novella pre skladateľa roka od Britskej akadémie skladateľov, skladateľov a autorov. Singel „Thinking Out Loud“, mu v roku 2016 vyniesol ceny Grammy za skladbu roka a najlepší popový sólový výkon. „X“ je dôkazom Edovho písania piesní a umenia a demonštruje jeho schopnosť spájať úprimné texty s nákazlivými melódiami v rôznych hudobných štýloch. Z albumu vyšlo päť singlov; Sing, Don’t, Thinking Out Loud, Bloodstream a Photograph. Thinking Out Loud a Photograph sa stali nadčasovými klasikami, ktoré rezonujú vo všetkých vekových kategóriách.
Na oslavu 10. výročia albumu vychádza "X" s 9 bonusovými skladbami, s obráteným artworkom. Bonusové skladby ešte nikdy nevyšli na vinyle, avšak Make It Rain bol vydaný na albume Sons of Anarchy, Vol. 4 soundtrack a All Of The Stars bol vydaný na soundtracku The Fault In Our Stars, ale nikdy nebol súčasťou vydania Eda Sheerana.

Lacná kniha Araki (-70%)
This is a collage of still life, pornography and cityscapes. Nobuyoshi Araki is one of Japan's best-known artists, and his photograph feature in exhibitions in all the leading museums of the world. For more than thirty years he has been working on a project that is close to his heart: a portrait of the Tokyo that lies beyond all moral values and taboos. His artistic strategy is simple yet extremely effective. In his books, of which over 100 have been published in Japan, he juxtaposes snapshots with nude photos, and still life with hardcore pornography. The photos for "Tokyo Lucky Hole" were taken between 1983-85 in Sinjuku, Tokyo's famous red light district, which was closed by judicial decree in 1985. In over 800 photos, Araki documents life in this "forbidden city": from the customer whose every desire is satisfied, to prostitutes after a hard working day, from slaves in their dominatrix' cage to the show girl in the peep-show.

Hamlet (EN)
Audiobook Hamlet, which dates from 1600-1601, is the first in Shakespeare’s great series of four tragedies, the others being Othello (1603), King Lear (1605) and Macbeth (1606). In writing this extraordinary play Shakespeare effectively reinvented tragedy after an interval of roughly two thousand years – we have to go back to the Greek dramatists of fifth-century Athens to find anything of comparable depth and maturity.

Opera Explained – The Ring of the Nibelung (EN)
Wagner’s Ring cycle is the most ambitious work in the history of music: four operas that combine to tell a single epic story. Based in legend, it has become a legend in its own right: a supreme challenge for conductors, singers, opera producers, and indeed for audiences. But for all its grandeur and complexity, The Ring is far more accessible than many music lovers think.

Lacná kniha Vzpomínky malostranské
Memoáry francouzské lékařky českého původu patří do bohaté tradice „vzpomínek lékařů“, jejíž linii lze sledovat od Thomayera a Vondráčka až třeba k Bedřichu Placákovi. Dalším momentem vymezujícím autorčiny životní příběhy je jedna z tragédií moderní doby: emigrace, nemožnost žít ve vlastní zemi. V neposlední řadě jsou ovšem tyto vzpomínky, v titulu předznamenané nerudovskou aluzí, vymezeny autorčinými setkáními i střety s řadou významných osobností: kromě řady předních reprezentantů české medicíny se zde setkáváme např. s Janem Werichem, překladatelkou Zdenou Wattersonovou, filosofy Karlem Kosíkem a Milanem Machovcem. Ovšem „ústřední postavou“ se posléze stává básník a filosof Zbyněk Fišer neboli Egon Bondy, legenda českého undergroundu, jehož důvěrnicí a „rodinnou lékařkou“ byla autorka po mnoho let. O životě a díle Fišera-Bondyho je zde podáváno velmi osobité svědectví, které je však vzdáleno jak obdivné idealizace, tak jednostranného odsudku, a navíc je podloženo citacemi z Bondyho dopisů. Rovněž svět českého disentu, Charty 77 i „podzemní kultury“ je nahlížen prizmatem setkávání s Bondym: zajímavé je např. autorčino svědectví o vztahu Fišera-Bondyho k Václavu Havlovi. Pozoruhodné jsou však též autorčiny často vyhroceně subjektivní, silně kritické glosy ke společenskému a politickému dění jak v Československu, resp. České republice po roce 1989, tak ve Francii let osmdesátých a devadesátých, a rovněž reflexe z častých autorčiných cest po Evropě – zejména z návštěv postsovětského Ruska.

A Short History of Russia
Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's 'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries.
In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most complex nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.
