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.

Én, Livia
Történet egy lányról, aki később Augustus császár felesége lett.
Majd a Római Birodalom legnagyobb hatalmú asszonya.
Livia Drusilla tizennégy éves korában kihallgatja apját és annak arisztokrata társait, akik éppen a Julius Caesar elleni merényletet tervezik. A fiatal lány éles eszű bizalmassá és apja legfőbb politikai fegyverévé válik. Vonakodva ugyan, de előnyös házasságot köt Caesar hadseregének egyik parancsnokával. Anyjától azt tanulja, egy nő is lehet hatással a közügyekre, és folyamatosan próbálja észben tartani, hogy bár kiváló érzékkel látja át a római szenátus intrikáit, mindig türelmesnek és gyakorlatiasnak kell maradnia.
De a türelemről és a ravaszságról azonnal megfeledkezik, amikor találkozik Caesar fogadott fiával és örökösével, Octavianusszal. A mindössze tizennyolc éves férfi nagy hatalma ellenére szerénynek mutatkozik, és megigézi Liviát, az újdonsült feleséget. Octavianus vagyona és befolyása egyre nő, így Livia családjának szörnyű veszéllyel kell szembenéznie. A lány éles eszét és szívét követve súlyos választásra kényszerül, melynek eredményeként nagyobb befolyása lesz Rómára, mint azt valaha is gondolta volna.

Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay
Soon to be an HBO series, book three in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) In the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond. Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.

Napoleon The Boyhood and Youth of
During the Hundred Days, (1815) there lay in Napoleon's study in the Tuileries a packet of papers, sealed with the Imperial arms, on the cover of which was written, "A remettre au Cardinal Fesch seul." This packet was carried by Fesch to Rome, but he never had the curiosity to open it, and it remained sealed and tied up till his death, on May 13th, 1839. Many years later it was eventually opened, and an astonished world discovered that Napoleon had collected papers relating to his boyhood and youth. Using this amazing material and many other sources Oscar Browning produced the first English language account of the formative years between Napoleon's birth in 1769 and when he first forced his way onto the world stage as a young man of importance at the siege of Toulon in 1793. There He personally led his men in the assault on the field earthworks guarding the city. During one of the attacks he received a bayonet wound. Napoleon with his artillery also destroyed several British warships anchored in Toulon's harbour, forcing them to sail away. It was his first victory and he was promoted to brigadier general.

Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey
Sometimes the facts are even more extraordinary than the fiction...This book tells the story of Lady Catherine, a beautiful American girl who became the chatelaine of Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes' award-winning drama Downton Abbey. Charming and charismatic, Catherine caught the eye of Lord Porchester (or 'Porchey', as he was known) when she was just 20 years old, and wearing a pale yellow dress at a ball. She had already turned down 14 proposals before she eventually married Porchey in 1922. But less than a year later Porchey's father died suddenly, and he became the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, inheriting a title and a Castle that changed both their lives forever. Catherine found herself suddenly in charge of a small army of household staff, and hosting lavish banquets and weekend house parties. Although the couple were very much in love, considerable challenges lay ahead for Catherine. They were immediately faced with the task of saving Highclere when debts threatened to destroy the estate. As the 1920s moved to a close, Catherine's adored brother died and she began to lose her husband to the distractions London had to offer. When the Second World War broke out, life at the Castle would never be the same again. Drawing on rich material from the private archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, the current Countess of Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling and alluring world of the 'real Downton Abbey' and its inhabitants.

Culinaria Hungary - A Celebration of Food and Tradition
Salami, goulash, marmalade-filled crepes and many other specialties: this is the best of Hungarian cuisine! From hearty casseroles, meat dishes and sweet baked goods all the way to its most exquisite culinary pleasures, Hungarian cooking offers a wealth of possibilities. The richness of the country's culinary palette is no accident: the Orient and the Occident are melded in many typical Hungarian recipes that inspire gourmets to wax enthusiastic about the wonders of Hungarian cuisine. This volume is far more than just a cookbook, however. Commentaries describe the tradition of Hungarian wine culture, introduce Tokaj, the king of Hungarian wines, and relate the "fiery" history of the pepper. The texts range across the wide plains of the puszta, the cosmopolitan Danubian metropolis Budapest, and the Hungarian landscape with its sandy plains, mountains and wild, romantic forests. Colorful pictures invite readers to participate in a peasant wedding as well as Easter and Christmas feasts - and to try the refined recipes.

Bloodlands - Europe between Hitler and Stalin
Under Hitler and Stalin the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow.
The killing fields extended from central Polads to western Russia. For twelve savage years, on this bloodsoaked soil an average of one million individuals - mostly women, children and the aged - were murdered every year. Though in 1939 these lands became battlefields, not one of these fourteen million was killed in combat. They were victims of a murderous policy, not casualties of war.
Int his deeply unsettling and revelatory book, Timothy Snyder gives voice to the testimony of the victims through the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. It is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane and authoritative bok that demands we pay attention to those that history is in danger of forgetting.
