Touching The Void
Touching the Void is the heart-stopping account of Joe Simpson's terrifying adventure in the Peruvian Andes. He and his climbing partner, Simon, reached the summit of the remote Siula Grande in June 1995. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frost-bitten, with news that that Joe was dead.What happened to Joe, and how the pair dealt with the psychological traumas that resulted when Simon was forced into the appalling decision to cut the rope, makes not only an epic of survival but a compelling testament of friendship.
Ravensbrück
Unikátní dokument o nelidských podmínkách v nacistickém pekle
Po čtyři dekády byl ryze ženský koncentrační tábor Ravensbrück ukryt za železnou oponou a o jeho skutečném příběhu toho bylo známo jen velmi málo. Jeho branou během šesti let prošlo na 130 000 žen z více než dvaceti evropských zemí, přičemž mnohé pocházely z tehdejšího Protektorátu Čechy a Morava. Vězeňkyně se zde staly cílem bití a mučení, byly posílány na otrockou práci, hladověly a nakonec byly popravovány. Až do osvobození v roce 1945 v táboře přišlo o život 30 000 až 50 000 žen.
Sarah Helmová se s využitím dosud neznámých svědectví a interview s přeživšími, kteří teprve nyní promluvili o své minulosti, dostává do samého středu táborového dění a čtenářům se všemi detaily v knize demonstruje, jak snadno a rychle vzniká nepředstavitelná hrůza.
Mnohem více než výčtem krutostí je ale kniha Ravensbrück přesvědčivým popisem toho, co jedna z přeživších žen nazvala hrdinstvím, extrémní lidskou houževnatostí a zcela výjimečnou vůlí k přežití. Přesná, inspirativní a hluboce znepokojující, kniha Ravensbrück je přelomovou prací v oblasti historického zkoumání. S neobvyklou otevřeností připomíná schopnost lidstva dopouštět se bestiálních činů a zároveň i jeho odvahu se jim bránit.
Sarah HELMOVÁ je autorkou knihy A Life in Secrets: The Story of Vera Atkins and the Lost Agents of SOE a hry Loyalty o válce v Iráku. Pracuje jako novinářka pro Sunday Times a jako zahraniční korespondentka Independent. Žije v Londýně s manželem a dvěma dcerami.

"Joe studied himself in the mirror. He looked good with Fred’s hand around his cock. Really good and really hot. He briefly pondered how sexy he would look with Freddie’s lips around it instead. He didn’t have to wonder for long, because Fred finally bent down his head and licked Joe’s tip. " Joe and Fred have driven from LA to Vegas and are now heading back through the desert.

Maličká Slzička / A Tiny Teardrop
Hudobné centrum predstavuje novú knihu muzikologičky Agaty Schindlerovej, ktorá je výsledkom vyše dvadsaťročného bádania v archívoch po celom svete. Kniha prináša životné príbehy šiestich hudobníkov a tanečnice, pochádzajúcich z bývalého Československa, ľudí, ktorí milovali umenie, ale aj bojovali o svoj holý život. Niektorí z tých, čo a vrátili z koncentračných táborov začali nový život, v ktorom sa im podarilo pretaviť desivé skúsenosti na silu pomáhajúcu zabudnúť. Iní sa však stiahli do ústrania, pretože všetku svoju životnú energiu minuli na boj o prežitie. Autorke sa podarilo dostať po kožu každej z prezentovaných osobností a je na čitateľovi posúdiť, ako citlivo a s akým hlbokým humanizmom všetky tie príbehy píše. Kniha je poctou umelcom, ktorí čelili neopísateľnému poníženiu, nepredstaviteľnej bolesti a smrti, a to len preto, že boli židia. Vďaka tejto knihe môžu ich mená pretrvať v pamätiach budúcich generácií. Dvojjazyčné, slovensko-anglické vydanie obsahuje reprodukcie dokumentov, fotografií a notových autografov, ktoré umocňujú silu autorkinej výpovede.
Music Centre Slovakia presents the new book by Agata Schindler, the result of a unique research she has been conducting for over twenty years in archives all over the world. The book takes a look at the life stories of six musicians and a ballet dancer, all from former Czechoslovakia; their fight for bare life and their love for art. Of those who came back from concentration camps, some managed to begin to live again and transform their harrowing experiences into a force that helped them to forget; others, however, withdrew from life because their vital energy had been spent in the effort to survive. Agata has masterfully palpated the pulse of each and every selected artist. How sensitive she is, how perceptive, and with what human depth she tells their tales, is up to the reader to judge. Her book is a memorial dedicated to the artists who, for nothing else but their Jewishness, were subject to unspeakable humiliation, unimaginable pain, and death. The book is a huge contribution in keeping these artists alive in the memories of future generations. This bilingual (Slovak-English) edition contains reproductions of documents, photographs, music scores, etc. that make the life stories even more poignant.

Foreign Bodies
Cities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.
Characteristically, with Schama the message is delivered through gripping, page-turning stories set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: smallpox strikes London; cholera hits Paris; plague comes to India. Threading through the scenes of terror, suffering and hope - in hospitals and prisons, palaces and slums - are an unforgettable cast of characters: a philosopher-playwright burning up with smallpox in a country chateau; a vaccinating doctor paying house calls in Halifax; a woman doctor in south India driving her inoculator-carriage through the stricken streets as dead monkeys drop from the trees. But we are also in the labs when great, life-saving breakthroughs happen, in Paris, Hong Kong and Mumbai.
At the heart of it all, an unsung hero: Waldemar Haffkine. A gun-toting Jewish student in Odesa turned microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, hailed in England as 'the saviour of mankind' for vaccinating millions against cholera and bubonic plague in British India while being cold-shouldered by the medical establishment of the Raj. Creator of the world's first mass production line of vaccines in Mumbai he is tragically brought down in an act of shocking injustice.
Foreign Bodies crosses borders between east and west, Asia and Europe, the worlds of rich and poor, politics and science. Its thrilling story carries with it the credo of its author on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature; of the powerful and the people. Ultimately, Schama says, as we face the challenges of our times together, 'there are no foreigners, only familiars'.

Lacná kniha Street and Studio from Basquiat (-70%)
The street as a stage or site of creative action has acquired its own special role in art history: think of Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose work stemmed directly from street culture, or Mark Jenkins irritating pedestrians with his subtle infiltration of human-like sculptures, or the participatory installations of Kader Attia. Each of the 30 artists contributing to this volume has found ways to weave art strategies into the fabric of street culture. Street and Studio focuses on the street as a zone of creativity, and as a source of inspiration to young artists whose lives and art are marked by an urban and mobile lifestyle.
