London Falling
The dark is rising ...Detective Inspector James Quill is about to complete the drugs bust of his career. Then his prize suspect Rob Toshack is murdered in custody. Furious, Quill pursues the investigation, co-opting intelligence analyst Lisa Ross and undercover cops Costain and Sefton. But nothing about Toshack's murder is normal. Toshack had struck a bargain with a vindictive entity, whose occult powers kept Toshack one step ahead of the law -- until his luck ran out. Now, the team must find a 'suspect' who can bend space and time and alter memory itself. And they will kill again. As the group starts to see London's sinister magic for themselves, they have two choices: panic or use their new abilities. Then they must hunt a terrifying supernatural force the only way they know how: using police methods, equipment and tactics. But they must all learn the rules of this new game - and quickly. More than their lives will depend on it. 'He's gone and written a novel too! I suspect it will be just as good as everything else he's written, and that's not fair at all' George R R Martin.

Delirious New York
Since its original publication in 1978, Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Back in print in a newly designed edition, this influential cultural, architectural, and social history of New York is even more popular, selling out its first printing on publication. Rem Koolhaas's celebration and analysis of New York depicts the city as a metaphor for the incredible variety of human behavior. At the end of the nineteenth century, population, information, and technology explosions made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle — "the culture of congestion" — and its architecture.
"Manhattan," he writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta Stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." Koolhaas interprets and reinterprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture in a number of telling episodes of New York's history, including the imposition of the Manhattan grid, the creation of Coney Island, and the development of the skyscraper. Delirious New York is also packed with intriguing and fun facts and illustrated with witty watercolors and quirky archival drawings, photographs, postcards, and maps. The spirit of this visionary investigation of Manhattan equals the energy of the city itself.

Čo mám na jazyku
Najnovšia kniha režiséra Petra Brooka vychádza v slovenskom jazyku krátko po originálnom vydaní.
„Už roky sa zamýšľam nad tým záhadným vzťahom medzi slovom a jeho skutočným významom. Slová sú často nevyhnutné. Slová, ako stoličky a stoly, nám umožňujú pohybovať sa v každodennom svete. Príliš ľahko sa však slovo dostáva do popredia. Podstatný je význam. Už ticho má význam, význam, ktorý sa domáha uznania vo svete premenlivých foriem a zvukov.
Lenivo sme si zvykli zovšeobecňovať. Teraz uvidíme, že presne tak, ako v atóme, keď ho roztvoríme a nájdeme celé univerzum, tak aj keď sa pristavíme pri nejakej vete, zistíme, že každé jej slovo a každá jej slabika zakaždým rezonujú inak.“
Peter Brook
Hĺbavá a veľmi osobná kniha divadelného majstra Petra Brooka, ktorého noviny Independent označili za „nášho najväčšieho žijúceho divadelného režiséra“.
V Čo mám na jazyku sa Brook podmanivo, hravo a múdro zaoberá témami, ako sú jemné, no významné rozdiely medzi francúzštinou a angličtinou a početné roviny, z ktorých možno vnímať Shakespearovu tvorbu.
Brook sa tu vracia aj k svojej zásadnej idei „prázdneho priestoru“ a uvažuje o tom, ako sa zmenilo divadlo – a svet – v priebehu jeho dlhej a význačnej kariéry.
Pretkaná intímnymi a výstižnými historkami z Brookovho života, kniha Čo mám na jazyku je neveľkým, zato osviežujúcim darom od jedného z najväčších umelcov našej doby.
Chvála na Brookovu Kvalitu milosti: úvahy o Shakespearovi:
„Skvostná... pútavá... Táto krátka, skromná a skvelá kniha oživuje lepšie ako mnohé veľkolepé zväzky čitateľovo nadšenie pre tieto hry a divákov úžas nad pozoruhodnými a rozmanitými dojmami ukrytými v prvom fóliu. Patrí do povinného čítania...“
Guardian
„Vo svojich duchaplných úvahách obsahuje esenciu všetkého, čo sa Peter Brook za svoj život naučil.“
Wall Street Journal
Peter Brook sa radí k najznámejším svetovým divadelným režisérom. Medzi najvýznamnejšie inscenácie v jeho kariére plnej pozoruhodných počinov patrí Titus Andronicus (1955) s Laurenceom Olivierom, Kráľ Lear (1962) s Paulom Scofieldom či Marat/Sade (1964) a Sen noci svätojánskej (1970), obe pre Royal Shakespeare Company. Potom ako sa Brook presťahoval do Paríža, kde v roku 1970 založil International Centre for Theatre Research (Medzinárodné centrum divadelného výskumu) a po otvorení divadla Bouffes du Nord v roku 1974 International Centre for Theatre Creation (Medzinárodné centrum divadelnej tvorby), stál pri vzniku niekoľkých prelomových diel, ktoré posunuli hranice divadla, z mnohých napríklad Conference of the Birds (Vtáčí snem, 1976), The Ik (Ikovia, 1975), The Mahabharata (1985) a The Tragedy of Carmen (Tragédia Carmen, 1981). Natočil filmy ako Lord of the Flies (Pán múch, 1963), King Lear (Kráľ Lear, 1970), The Mahabharata (1989), Tell Me Lies (Zavádzaj ma, reštaurovaný v 2013) a Meetings with Remarkable Men (Stretnutia s pozoruhodnými ľuďmi, reštaurovaný v 2017). Jeho nesmierne vplyvné knihy, od The Empty Space (Prázdny priestor, 1968) po The Quality of Mercy (Kvalita milosti, 2013), vyšli v mnohých jazykoch po celom svete.
Divadelný ústav vydal publikáciu Kvalita milosti. Úvahy o Shakespearovi v roku 2014 v preklade Veroniky Kolejákovej.

The Japanese Myths
The perfect introduction to the world of Japanese myth and legend.
This is a smart and succinct guide to the rich tradition of Japanese mythology, from the earliest recorded legends of Izanagi and Izanami, their divine offspring and the creation of Japan, to medieval tales of vengeful ghosts, through to the modern-day reincarnation of ancient deities as the heroes of mecha anime. While many around the world love Japan's cultural exports, few are familiar with Japan's unique mythology - enriched by Shinto, Buddhism and regional folklore.
Mythology remains a living, evolving part of Japanese society, and the ways in which the people of Japan understand their myths are very different today even from a century ago, let alone over a millennium into the past. Offering much more than any competing overview of Japanese mythology, The Japanese Myths not only retells the ancient stories but also considers their place within the patterns of Japanese religions, culture and history, helping readers to understand the deep links between past and present in Japan, and the ways these myths live and grow.
Joshua Frydman takes the very earliest written myths in the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki as his starting point, and from there traces Japan's mythology through to post-war State Shinto, the rise of the manga industry in the 1960s, J-horror and modern-day myths. Reinventions and retellings of myth are present across all genres of contemporary Japanese culture, from its auteur cinema to renowned video games such as Okami. This book is for anyone interested in Japan, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.
