Én még sosem
Kemény Zsófi regénye többszörös háromszögtörténet két fiúról és egy lányról.Tizenhét évesek, de az érzelmek, amelyek egymáshoz fűzik őket, bonyolultak, és saját maguk számára is nehezen kibogozhatók.
Miközben egy szilveszteri bulitól márciusig mindhárman próbálják ... Folytatás ›› önmagukat megtalálni, kilépnek a gimnázium világából, és belevetik magukat Budapest éjszakai életébe. De egyikük sem tudja igazán élvezni, mert mindnyájukat nyomasztja valami: az egyiket a felelősség, a másikat a gyötrő szerelem, a harmadikat a teljes egzisztenciális összeomlás lehetősége.

Én és énke
"Én magamat nem ismerem... De ismerek valakit, aki bennem lakik, akivel én sohase beszélgettem, aki gyakran megszólal, hetykén és hangosan, nem törődve azzal, hogy én sohasem válaszoltam neki, hogy szégyellem, és zavarban vagyok miatta, mint valami neveletlen kölyök miatt társaságban az illedelmes szülő... Ő az Énke, de nem szeretném, ha velem azonosítanák."
Ugyan kiben nem lakozik egy ilyen pimasz mitugrász kis senki, vagy inkább valaki? Ő énünk jobbik, igazabb és őszintébb része, aki fütyül a követelményekre és konvenciókra, fittyet hány a szabályokra, áthágja a korlátokat. Énkét minden játékos kisgyerek és minden lázadó kamasz ismeri, és akinek szerencséje van, felnőttkorában is megőriz magában valamit-valakit belőle.
Karinthy Frigyes fanyar és ellenállhatatlan humorú írásaiban, vidám jeleneteiben és groteszk életképeiben, amelyeken egyszerre sírunk és nevetünk, meghasonlott önmagunkkal és a meghasonlott világgal szembesülhetünk. Feketén-fehéren feltárul előttünk a dolgok kettős arculata, az emberi történések, érzelmek színe és fonákja.
Nem győzzük kapkodni a fejünket: hát ilyen a világ? És hogy valójában milyen is a világ, azt nemcsak a kötetben egybegyűjtött humoreszkek láttatják velünk, hanem Réber László elegáns, szellemes rajzai is.

Atlas of the Heart
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."
In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."

Reclaimed Avant-garde: Spaces and Stages of Avant-garde Theatre in Central-Eastern Europe
Publikácia je v poradí už druhou, ktorá vyšla v rámci projektu The Reclaimed Avant-garde (Znovuzískaná avantgarda). Jeho iniciátorom je poľský Divadelný inštitút Im. Zbigniewa Raszewského, ktorý bol aj organizátorom konferencie o priestoroch a dejiskách avantgárd v strednej a východnej Európe. Konferencia sa uskutočnila vo Varšave v rámci série podujatí pripomínajúcich rok avantgardy, ktorý Poľsko oslavovalo v roku 2017. Rovnomenný zborník obsahuje doplnené a rozšírené verzie konferenčných príspevkov, ktorých autormi sú akademici z 11 krajín. Cieľom projektu, ako aj jednotlivých štúdií, je poukázať na existenciu mnohých podnetných impulzov medzivojnových avantgárd v tomto regióne. Po antológii pramenných textov spojených s avantgardnými umelcami a ich tvorbou v jednotlivých krajinách bola druhá etapa projektu zameraná na priestory avantgárd v širšom zmysle slova od scénických riešení a obratu v chápaní divadelného priestoru, cez utopické architektonické vízie a koncepcie nových divadelných priestorov, až po verejné priestory, v ktorých sa avantgardné výboje odohrávali kaviarne, sokolovne či školy.
