The Boy on the Wooden Box
Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List. This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Box is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.

On Nineteen Eighty-Four
From the author of the definitive biography of George Orwell, a captivating account of the origin and enduring power of his landmark dystopian novel
Since its publication nearly 70 years ago, George Orwell's 1984 has been regarded as one of the most influential novels of the modern age. Politicians have testified to its influence on their intellectual identities, rock musicians have made records about it, TV viewers watch a reality show named for it, and a White House spokesperson tells of "alternative facts." The world we live in is often described as an Orwellian one, awash in inescapable surveillance and invasions of privacy.
On 1984 dives deep into Orwell's life to chart his earlier writings and key moments in his youth, such as his years at a boarding school, whose strict and charismatic headmaster shaped the idea of Big Brother. Taylor tells the story of the writing of the book, taking readers to the Scottish island of Jura, where Orwell, newly famous thanks to Animal Farm but coping with personal tragedy and rapidly declining health, struggled to finish 1984. Published during the cold war-a term Orwell coined-Taylor elucidates the environmental influences on the book. Then he examines 1984's post-publication life, including its role as a tool to understand our language, politics, and government.
In a current climate where truth, surveillance, censorship, and critical thinking are contentious, Orwell's work is necessary. Written with resonant and reflective analysis, On 1984 is both brilliant and remarkably timely.

Filter - The Amalgamut 2LP
"The Amalgamut" je tretí štúdiový album americkej rockovej skupiny Filter, vydaný 30. júla 2002 vo vydavateľstve Reprise Records. Na rozdiel od ich prvých dvoch albumov Short Bus (1995) a Title of Record (1999), ktoré boli oba certifikované ako platinové, album sa zastavil pred dosiahnutím 100 000 predaných kópií, čiastočne kvôli tomu, že frontman Richard Patrick zrušil zo zdravotných dôvodov svoje hlavné turné. Album mal v rámci propagácie ešte vydané dva single: „Where Do We Go from Here“ a „American Cliché“. The Amalgamut bol posledným albumom s členmi skupiny Geno Lenardo, Frank Cavanagh a Steve Gillis, pričom Patrick založil kapelu Army of Any, keď sa dostali z rehabilitácie. Bol to posledný album Filter, ktorý vyšiel až o šesť rokov neskôr, keď Patrick zreformoval skupinu o nových členov a v roku 2008 vydal Anthems for the Damned.

Mapplethorpe The Complete Flowers
Flower are one of the most common subjects for artwork, yet Mapplethorpe excels at bringing something radically new to his flower photographs. Setting them in a universe apart, their poses are classical, reduced to a series of essential forms. Their compositions are profoundly simple but mask a complex dynamic. Each one is evocative, and almost always sexually charged. When photographed by Mapplethorpe, these delicate organisms become almost muscular in their raw power.

The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion
Passionate Copying in Late Medieval Bohemia The Case of Crux de Telcz (1434-1504)
Kniha přináší detailní případovou studii Kříže z Telče (14341504), názorně ukazující spletitosti rukopisné kultury druhé poloviny 15. století. Křížův životopis je rekonstruován na základě více než 150 kolofonů a poznámek; je analyzována jeho role autora, překladatele, kompilátora, glosátora a především písaře. Pro srovnání je připojena studie Kimberly Riversové o würzburském františkánském písaři Johannesu Sintramovi ( 1450). Jako nejnápadnější rys zkoumané pozdně středověké rukopisné kultury se ukazuje bezprecedentní množství písařských paratextů (obsahů, rejstříků, vysvětlujících poznámek, vnitřních odkazů, identifikací pramenů atd.), doprovázené stejně bezprecedentním množstvím chyb, konfuzí, obskurností a nesrozumitelností.

A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful (EN)
In A Philosophical Enquiry. Edmund Burke sets out to define the nature of beauty and sublimity, and establish an objective criterion for discussing aesthetics. His definition of beauty as rooted in pleasure and sexuality, and the sublime in pain and survival, aligned him with the empiricists John Locke and David Hume, as he replaced the metaphysics of Plato’s aesthetics with a psychological and physiological perspective.
