Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
'Warsan Shire is an extraordinarily gifted poet whose profoundly moving poems so powerfully give voice to the unspoken' Bernardine Evaristo
Poems of migration, womanhood, trauma and resilience from the award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire, celebrated collaborator on Beyonce's Lemonade and Black Is King.
With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a girl who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls. These are noisy lives, full of music and weeping and surahs. These are fragrant lives, full of blood and perfume and jasmine. These are polychrome lives, full of moonlight and turmeric and kohl.
The long-awaited collection from one of our most exciting contemporary poets is a blessing, an incantatory celebration of survival. Each reader will come away changed.
'Warsan Shire electrifies... The beautifully crafted poems in this collection are fiercely tender gifts' Roxane Gay

Fats Jazz Band - Rhythm Is Our Business
CD Rhythm Is Our Business obsahuje rekonštrukcie pôvodných jazzových nahrávok z prvej polovice 20. storočia v jedinečnej autentickej interpretácii. FATS JAZZ BAND je prvotriedny deväťčlenný orchester nasiaknutý autentickým hot jazzom a swingom. Hudobníci hrajú na pôvodných nástrojoch z 30. rokov a aranžmány prepisujú transkripciou z originálnych šelakových platní tých najväčších jazzových legiend. Do interpretácie potom vložia svoj originálny „rukopis“, čoho výsledkom je kokteil plný energie a nadčasovosti. Užite si tento výlet strojom času takmer 100 rokov do minulosti.
Album otvára kontrapunktická skladba Bach Goes To Town inšpirovaná nahrávkou slávneho koncertu Bennyho Goodmana z roku 1938 v Carnegie Hall. Ôsmy album orchestra obsahuje vynikajúce aranžmány sexteta kontrabasistu Johna Kirbyho, či už inšpirované klasickou hudbou (Charlie’s prelude a Minute Waltz) alebo čisto jazzovú skladbu postavenú na harmonických moduláciách From Ab to C. Na CD rezonujú aj mená dvoch významných tenorsaxofonistov – Lestera Younga v nadčasovej skladbe Boogie Woogie, ktorá napriek roku svojho vzniku 1938 predznamenala zrod nového hudobného štýlu, a rekonštrukciu skvelého sóla tenorsaxofonistu Colemana Hawkinsa v skladbe The Day You Came Along. Fanúšikovia Fatsa Waller si užijú aj piesne ako The Joint is Jumpin‘, Spring Cleaning, My Mommie Sent Me To The Store a Clarinet Marmalade, z ktorých sála Wallerova charakteristická energia, vtip a nákazlivá dobrá nálada. Úplne iný zvuk má skladba Sorry z roku 1929, kde počuť typickú estetiku hot jazzu 20. rokov (kornet, bendžo, bassaxofón, husle...). Fats Jazz Band použil na CD aj ďalšie nezvyčajné nástroje ako Hammond organ (Clarinet Marmalade) a Swanee saxofón (He’s Funny That Way). Kapelník Ladislav Fančovič vybral dve sólové klavírne skladby zo začiatku 30. rokov - Bugatti Step od Jaroslava Ježka a Black Beauty od Duka Ellingtona. Jeho little big band si zaplával aj do britských vôd nádherným prevedením skladieb ako Who, Pastel Blue a titulnej piesne Rhythm Is Our Business, ktorú pôvodne nahrali Six Swingers. Na albume sú aj dve krásne slovenské piesne, ktoré v 50. rokoch nahrala Viera Racková, Do zajtra čakaj a Maličká slzička. CD uzatvára pieseň Java Jive s vokálnym kvartetom v úvode zloženým z členov orchestra. Bonusovú skladbu Mack the Knife zaranžoval Fančovič v štýle virtuóznych klavírnych show Liberaceho zo 60. rokov. Ústredná melódia z Opery o troch grošoch Kurta Weilla vás prevedie rôznymi štýlmi, vrátane viedenského valčíka, latino či boogie-woogie.

A Promised Land
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Blue Period 8
Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora studies hard and gets good grades, and he parties hard, staying out late drinking and watching soccer with his friends. He checks all the boxes he needs to be the perfect high school student. But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is...or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst--and he's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!

Lacná kniha The Myths We Live By (-70%)
In this witty and mischievous book, philosopher Peter Cave dissects the most controversial disputes today and uses philosophical argument to reveal that many issues are less straightforward than we'd like to believe. Leaving no sacred cow standing, Cave uses ingenious stories and examples to challenge our most strongly held assumptions. Is democracy inherently a good thing? What is the basis of so-called human rights? Is discrimination always bad? Are we morally obliged to accept refugees?
In an age of identity politics and so-called 'fake news', this book is an essential resource for reinvigorating genuine public debate - and an entertaining challenge to accepted wisdom.

Notes from Underground
The unnamed narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to retire from the world and lead a life of inactivity and contemplation. His fiercely bitter, cynical and witty monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical musings to memorable scenes from his own life, including his obsessive plans to exact revenge on an officer who has shown him disrespect and a dramatic encounter with a prostitute. Seen by many as the first existentialist novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky's dry humour, Notes from Underground was a pivotal moment in the development of modern literature and has inspired countless novelists, thinkers and film-makers.

Stardust in their Veins
Immerse yourself in the second book the Castles in their Bones series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Ash Princess series.
Seduction. Conquest. The Crown.
Princesses Daphne, Beatriz, and Sophronia have trained their entire lives for one purpose: to bring down nations. Their mother, Empress Margaraux of Bessemia, is determined to rule the continent of Vesteria, and her daughters are her weapons. Promised for marriage since birth, they are her ticket across enemy lines. And also her decoys.
Still, not even Empress Margaraux can control the stars. Sent to their new kingdoms, orders in hand, the princesses have found their own paths, changing the course of their mother's plans entirely - and tragically. Sophronia chose love, and for that, she lost her life.
Daphne and Beatriz can hardly believe their sister is dead, but both are determined to avenge her. And now, separated by a continent - and their mother's lies - they see more clearly with every passing day that they might not be working toward the same end.
The stars whisper of death, but Daphne and Beatriz are just beginning to understand the true power coursing through their veins. And their mother will do anything to keep them under her thumb - even if it means killing them all.

Básnický debut Vojtěcha Beránka pracuje s lyrickými a často atemporálními výňatky z každodenních situací, kterými autor zachycuje skrytá a často netušená dramata všedních situací a dnů. Autorův básnický svět je syrový a tvrdý, viděný jakoby „zdola“ – z míst, kde se vyskytují lidé na okraji společnosti i jejího zájmu. Protagonisté autorových básní jsou často obyčejní lidé žijící na sídlištích, notnou část knihy však prostupují reflexivní pasáže lyrického subjektu, ve kterých se lidé buďto mihnou, nebo v něm zanechají bolestnou stopu. Básně mají rovněž blízko k filosofování bez jakéhokoli nihilistického manýrismu – najdeme v nich nepřímo vyřčené otázky týkající se života, smrti či smyslu životních hodnot.
