Srdce temnoty
Román poľského rodáka Josepha Conrada Srdce temnoty vyšiel po anglicky knižne v roku 1902 a rýchlo sa stal jedným z najzásadnejších literárnych diel 20. storočia. Conradov text ako jeden z prvých kriticky nazerá na témy imperializmu, kolonializmu a rasizmu, zároveň je to hlboká psychologická a morálna sonda do temných hĺbok ľudskej duše, preto sa kniha dodnes teší záujmu čitateľov. Ide o jedno z diel, ktoré síce patrí do kánonu svetovej literatúry a k pokladom západnej kultúry, zároveň je však nadčasové a čitateľsky atraktívne. Nie náhodou po ňom siahol F. F. Coppola a natočil na jeho námet slávny film Apocalypse Now. Nový slovenský preklad tejto slávnej novely vychádza spolu s doslovom literárnej vedkyne Kristíny Kállay o dedičstve kolonializmu v Conradovom diele a prílohou Biele dejiny Konga ilustrátora Jindřicha Janíčka.
Amerikánka
V USA ju nazývali „černoškou“, a keď sa vrátila domov do Nigérie, dostala meno „Amerikánka“. Kým teda vlastne je? A kde je jej skutočné miesto?
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie je skutočnou hviezdou nielen súčasnej svetovej literatúry, ale prerazila aj do popkultúry. Jej myšlienky sa dostali do textov piesní Beyoncé i na tričká módnej značky Dior. Mimoriadnu pozornosť si získali jej prednášky v rámci platformy TED, ako aj svetoznáma esej Všetci by sme mali byť feminist(k)ami. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie rozpráva priamo a bez prikrášlenia. Diskriminácia je u nej diskrimináciou a rasizmus rasizmom. Neexistuje žiadne ALE. Taký je aj jej román Amerikánka, v ktorom sa príbeh nevšednej lásky preplieta s tými najbolestivejšími miestami ľudského spolužitia.
Ifmelu a Obinze sa do seba zamilovali ešte na strednej škole. V Nigérii v tom čase dožívala vojenská diktatúra a zdalo sa, že jedinou možnosťou ako prežiť normálny život, je odísť za more. Cesty Ifmelu a Obinzeho sa rozišli a zatiaľ čo ona sa uchytila v USA ako blogerka píšuca o problematike rasy, on ledva prežíval vo Veľkej Británii.
Jej Amerikánka je príbehom ich veľkej lásky, no je aj presnou analýzou zásadných otázok týkajúcich sa rasizmu, identity, diskriminácie, predsudkov i stereotypov. A tak je otázka, či sa Ifmelu a Obinze znova stretnú možno celkom nepodstatná. A možno aj nie je.
Amerikánka je krásny román o tom, kam všade nás môžu zaviesť nevyspytateľné životné chodníčky i o tom, aká nečakaná a silná môže byť túžba po domove.
Kniha vychádza v preklade Kristíny Karabovej.

Argument: nástroj myslenia a presviedčania
Argumentácia je dôležitá súčasť medziľudských interakcií. Stretávame sa s ňou v bežných rozhovoroch, v článkoch uverejnených na internete a v médiách, v politických debatách, ale aj v odborných diskusiách. Monografia prezentuje argumentáciu ako činnosť, ktorej primárnym cieľom je uvádzať dôvody v prospech pravdivosti informácií, no spravidla sa používa na ďalšie ciele. Zaoberá sa štruktúrou argumentov, ich rekonštrukciou a hodnotením, rozlíšeniu rôznych druhov argumentov a podmienok ich korektného používania. Osobitná pozornosť sa venuje chybám v argumentácii a zámernému zavádzajúcemu používaniu argumentov. Problematika argumentácie a argumentov je interdisciplinárnou oblasťou siahajúcou od teórie argumentácie a logiky po psychológiu a sociálnu antropológiu. Kniha akcentuje najmä perspektívu teórie argumentácie, no poukazuje aj na presahy do iných oblastí. Objasňovanie teoretických aspektov argumentácie sa v nej dopĺňa analýzou množstva príkladov reálnych argumentov.

Súmrak právneho štátu
Do histórie slovenskej spravodlivosti po roku 1989 sa vládnutie matovičovskej partokracie zapíše ako obdobie temna. Toľko sektárskeho fanatizmu, nenávisti, krivenia práva. Politickej vendety a toľko štatistických obvinení zo založenia, zosnovania a podporovania zločineckých skupín by sme nenašli ani v histórii mafiánskej enklávy na Sicílii. Akurát na Slovensku na rozdiel od Sicílie sú nositeľmi usvedčujúcich dôkazov falošní svedkovia.
Kniha Súmrak právneho štátu je pokračovaním publikácie Byť kajúcnikom sa oplatí, v ktorej autor nekompromisne komentuje prax využívania nezákonných, priam obludných nátlakových prostriedkov orgánov činných v trestnom konaní voči obvineným verejným činiteľom, opozičným politikom, podnikateľom, advokátom i sudcom. To všetko sa deje v súčinnosti ministra vnútra, špeciálnej prokuratúry, skupiny vyšetrovateľov NAKA a médií hlavného prúdu v štýle Josepha Goebbelsa, ríšskeho ministra pre ľudovú osvetu a propagandu: ,, Dajte mi do rúk médiá a ja z národa urobím stádo svíň.“
After Steve
From the Wall Street Journal's Tripp Mickle, the dramatic, untold story inside Apple after the passing of Steve Jobs by following his top lieutenants-Jony Ive, the Chief Design Officer, and Tim Cook, the COO-turned-CEO-and how the fading of the former and the rise of the latter led to Apple losing its soul.
Steve Jobs called Jony Ive his "spiritual partner at Apple." The London-born genius was the second-most powerful person at Apple and the creative force who most embodies Jobs's spirit, the man who designed the products adopted by hundreds of millions the world over: the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air, the iMac G3, and the iPhone. In the wake of his close collaborator's death, the chief designer wrestled with grief and initially threw himself into his work designing the new Apple headquarters and the Watch before losing his motivation in a company increasingly devoted more to margins than to inspiration.
In many ways, Cook was Ive's opposite. The product of a small Alabama town, he had risen through the ranks from the supply side of the company. His gift was not the creation of new products. Instead, he had invented countless ways to maximize a margin, squeezing some suppliers, persuading others to build factories the size of cities to churn out more units. He considered inventory evil. He knew how to make subordinates sweat with withering questions.
Jobs selected Cook as his successor, and Cook oversaw a period of tremendous revenue growth that has lifted Apple's valuation to $3 trillion. He built a commanding business in China and rapidly distinguished himself as a master politician who could forge global alliances and send the world's stock market into freefall with a single sentence.
Author Tripp Mickle spoke with more than 200 current and former Apple executives, as well as figures key to this period of Apple's history, including Trump administration officials and fashion luminaries such as Anna Wintour while writing After Steve. His research shows the company's success came at a cost. Apple lost its innovative spirit and has not designed a new category of device in years. Ive's departure in 2019 marked a culmination in Apple's shift from a company of innovation to one of operational excellence, and the price is a company that has lost its soul.

Schiele
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn't prove to be too big a challenge.
His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt's hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele's work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.
Although his works were later defamed as "degenerate" and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists-from Gunter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.
This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele's life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.
