All The Lovers In The Night
From international literary sensation Mieko Kawakami comes All The Lovers In The Night, an extraordinary, deeply moving and insightful story set in contemporary Tokyo.
Fuyuko Irie is a freelance proofreader in her thirties. Living alone, and unable to form meaningful relationships, she has little contact with anyone other than Hijiri, someone she works with. When she sees her reflection, she's confronted with a tired and spiritless woman who has failed to take control of her own life. Her one source of solace: light. Every Christmas Eve, Fuyuko heads out to catch a glimpse of the lights that fill the Tokyo night. But it is a chance encounter with a man named Mitsutsuka that awakens something new in her. And so her life begins to change.
As Fuyuko starts to see the world in a different light, painful memories from her past begin to resurface. Fuyuko needs to be loved, to be heard, and to be seen. But living in a small world of her own making, will she find the strength to bring down the walls that surround her?
All The Lovers In The Night is acute and insightful, entertaining and captivating, pulsing and poetic, modern and shocking. It's another unforgettable novel from Japan's most exciting writer.
Translated from the Japanese by Sam Bett and David Boyd.

Utajené hrady a zámky III.
Otomar Dvořák a Josef Pepson Snětivý se již potřetí vypravili do rozmanitých koutů Prahy, na břehy Vltavy i dalších toků a vodních ploch, do zakletých areálů a k výstavným palácům; opět Vám slovem a obrazem představí utajené klenoty v netušených souvislostech a na nečekaných místech. K jejich objevování zvou těmito slovy: "Nejprve objevíme v Praze Ameriku. Je rokokově sladká! Poté na levém vltavském břehu zrekonstruujeme linii jezuitských lusthausů a vyhledáme to, co nám z ní zbylo. Pro osvěžení se ponoříme do země zvířat, vody a letohrádků, to jest do Stromovky a jejího okolí. Odtud se vydáme ke hvězdě, která spadla mezi Liboc a Ruzyni, tedy k unikátní stavbě jménem Hvězda a do jejího malebného okolí. Voda nás bude provázet i nadále: v předchozích společných knihách jsme se často ocitali třeba na březích Botiče nebo Brusnice, nyní propátráme okolí Rokytky; odměnou nám budou překvapivé objevy hned ve třech historických lokalitách. Ještě mnohem více půvabu potěší naše smysly na Smíchově a v Košířích, kde na nás čeká patero nádherných (a většinou záhadných, jakoby zakletých) areálů: Bertramka, Klamovka, Cibulka, Bulovka a Šmukýřka. Pak se znovu přiblížíme k Vltavě - k památkám, které si hrají (a přitom nehrají) na babu. Následně se pokusíme vypátrat tvrze ukryté mezi rybníky a stromy (Šeberov, Hrnčíře a Slavětice). A nakonec se v duchu předchozích dílů vypravíme za hranice Prahy. Tentokrát začneme tam, kde jsme na podobném výletě minule skončili, a prozkoumáme Klecany a okolí. Na pouť si vezměme jen to nejnutnější - a cestu vykonejme s očima a srdcem otevřeným! Jen tak nám Praha ukáže svou skrytou krásu."

Konec uprchlíkům v Čechách
Poskytovat u nás azyl uprchlíkům, kterým mnohdy doma hrozí mučení a smrt, nebo neposkytovat? Neponižovat a netýrat uprchlíky ve státních zařízeních a poskytovat jim zdravotní péči, na kterou mají ze zákona nárok, nebo jim upírat základní lidská práva? Shromážděné dokumenty ukazují na fakt, že příslušný odbor ministerstva vnitra a většina dalších státem podporovaných organizací zabývajících se prací s uprchlíky mají v těchto otázkách jasno. Bohužel v neprospěch uprchlíků, kteří se v České republice stávají oběťmi systému, preferujícího např. zájmy ruských tajných služeb (FSB - bývalé KGB) před pomocí lidem, kteří prošli peklem války a s velkým rizikem se dostali do "bezpečné země", aby před násilím zachránili alespoň své děti. Zprávy předních světových lidsko-právních organizací o nevinných obětech režimů té které země se velké pozornosti našich úřadů netěší. Tato studie podrobněji dokumentuje trpké zkušenosti některých jednotlivců, kteří v Čechách požádali o azyl. Jde jen o několik z řady známých případů, i tak je však jasné, že se jedná o systémovou záležitost. Osudy tisíců lidí končí nekontrolovaně v rukou několika úředníků Odboru azylové a migrační politiky MV, jehož ředitel téměř 20 let prakticky řídí imigrační politiku tohoto státu. Tristní situace v oblasti azylové politiky se na světlo začala dostávat především díky iniciativě a práci odvolaného vládního zmocněnce pro lidská práva Michaela Kocába. Cílem publikace je snaha pokračovat v tom, čeho dosáhl v boji za práva lidí, kteří si zaslouží stejnou pomoc (navíc naším státem veřejně deklarovanou), jakou zoufalí českoslovenští občané kdysi také za hranicemi nacházeli.
Psalms For The End Of The World
It's 1962 and physics student Grace Pulansky believes she has met the man of her dreams, Robert Jones, while serving up slices of pecan pie at the local diner. But then the FBI shows up, with their fedoras and off-the-rack business suits, and accuses him of being a bomb-planting mass-murderer.
Finding herself on the run with Jones across America's Southwest, the discoveries awaiting Gracie will undermine everything she knows about the universe. Her story will reveal how scores of lives - an identity-swapping rock star, a mourning lover in ancient China, Nazi hunters in pursuit of a terrible secret, a crazed artist in pre-revolutionary France, an astronaut struggling with a turbulent interplanetary future, and many more - are interconnected across space and time by love, grief, and quantum entanglement.
Spanning continents, centuries, and dimensions, this exquisitely crafted and madly inventive novel - a triple-disk, concept-album of a book - is a profound yet propulsive enquiry into the nature of reality - the perfect immersive read for fans of David Mitchell, Emily St. John Mandel, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood.

Black Eyed Peas - Masters Of The Sun CD

Objeví se na ní Nas, Phife Dawg, CL, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Posdenuos of de la Soul, Slick Rick a Nicol Scherzinger. Jedná se o sedmou desku, jejíž vydání předznamenal skladba Big Love, který jako jeden z prvních singlů reflektoval střelbu na amerických středních školách a věnoval se problematice odebírání dětí imigrantským rodinám. Výnosy z prodeje singlu putovaly na účet studentské aktivistické organizace March for Our Lives, která se zabývá ukončením epidemie masových střeleb na školách a organizace Families Belong Together, která bojuje proti Trumpově politice násilné separace rodin. Ve vyzývání statu quo Black Eyed Peas pokračují i na desce, kde se dále věnují aktuálním problémům černošských komunit, jakými je například kontrola zbraní, imigrační a vězeňská reforma a policejní brutalita.
Black Eyed Peas jsou uskupením, které se v průběhu své existence věnovalo hip hopu, popu, dance music i elektro žánru. Kapela se momentálně skládá z will.i.ama, apl.de.apa a Tabooa. V minulosti v kapele působila i zpěvačka Fergie. Black Eyed Peas stojí za hity, jako je Where Is The Love?, který se stal nejprodávanějším britským singlem roku 2003, nebo Pump It a se singly Boom Boom Pow a I Gotta Feeling se ve své době stali jednou z jedenácti kapel, které se podařilo obsadit první dvě příčky Billboard Hot 100 zároveň. V roce 2010 získali tři ceny Grammy.
