Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského / The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský
Kniha Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského představuje čtenářům významnou osobnost současného pianistického umění, prof. Ivana Klánského. Pojednává o jeho tvůrčím a pedagogickém zrání, životní cestě od jeho prvních klavírních krůčků přes studia na konzervatoři a AMU v Praze až po jeho rozsáhlou pedagogickou praxi. Zachycuje jeho začátky v roli klavírního pedagoga a postupné utváření svébytné, osobité metodiky, kterou mimořádně úspěšně uplatňuje ve své pedagogické praxi. Tato metodika je čtenáři přiblížena prostřednictvím myšlenkového vnímání hudby Ivanem Klánským a je vyjádřením jeho estetických a etických postojů v oblasti interpretačního umění. První kapitoly jsou věnovány životní dráze a stěžejním pilířům jeho klavírní metodiky, jakými se jeví diagnostika výkonu interpreta, práce klavíristy s časem a zvukem, fyzicko-technické zákonitosti klavírní hry. Přibližují i nejoriginálnější součásti jeho pedagogicko-metodického systému, kterými se stala impulzová metoda a metodický princip rozčleňování interpretace na horizontálně nebo vertikálně hudebně zpracované plochy. Další kapitoly rozebírají názory a pohledy Ivana Klánského na interpretaci hudby jednotlivých hudebněhistorických období od 17. do 20. století.
The book The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský introduces readers to the life and work of an eminent proponent of contemporary piano-playing interpretation and pedagogy prof. Ivan Klánský. It deals with his creative and pedagogical development from his first musical accomplishments through studies at the Conservatoire and Academy of Performing Arts in Prague up to his extensive pedagogical practice. It also covers his early pedagogical experiences and the gradual formation of his specific piano-teaching method which he has been applying successfully throughout his entire career. This method is being explored through the prism of Klánskýs intellectual perception of music and represents an expression of his aesthetic and ethical attitudes in the area of interpretative art. The first chapters are devoted to his career and to the key points of the methodology of his piano lessons, including the diagnosis of the players potential for appropriate achievement, his or her implementation of sound and timing issues, and the physiological and practical rules of piano technique and practice. We also present the most innovative parts of his teaching method, i.e. the impulse method focused on the range of touch and tone production, also progression in horizontal and vertical playing. The closing parts explore Klánskýs views on the interpretation of music in performance throughout particular historical periods, from the 17th to the 20th centuries.

The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen
Starting not with the United States, but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked to exclude as well as liberate.
Whether reinterpreting Japan's momentous 1889 constitution, or exploring the significance of the first constitution to enfranchise all adult women on Pitcairn Island in the Pacific in 1838, this is one of the most original global histories in decades.

The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel
The Librarian of Auschwitz is ideal for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice, this graphic novel is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. Based on a true story, it is an extraordinary novel of courage and hope by Antonio Iturbe and Loreto Aroca.
'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns . . .'
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezin ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the 'living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be 'borrowed' to educate the children in the camp.
But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor . . .
Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.

The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present.
In The Making of the Modern Middle East – in part based on his acclaimed podcast, ‘Our Man in the Middle East’ – Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
With his deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan’s Turkey, Assad’s Syria and Netanyahu’s Israel and his long experience of covering events in the region, Bowen offers readers a gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it came to be and what its future might hold.

Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo.
The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolated. But on the forest moon of Endor, amongst the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel.
After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it's the first time in a long time he's had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn't truly seem over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance -- one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips . . . Yes.
But happily ever after doesn't come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony on Endor for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, is a lightning rod for everyone in the galaxy -- including Imperial remnants still clinging to power.
Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated worlds vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone but as husband and wife.

Soundtrack - Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker CD
„John opět přišel s naprosto dechberoucím soundtrackem a vytvořil úchvatné, děsivé, záhadné i intimní melodie, a zároveň vytvořil i nové aranže svých dobře známých klasických melodií,” přibližuje režisér Star Wars J. J. Abrams. „George Lucas mi dal jedinečnou příležitost pracovat na jednom projektu nepřetržitě po čtyři dekády, a za to jsem mu nesmírně vděčný. Ke každému filmu jsem mohl vytvořit unikátní hudbu, která dohromady tvoří jeden kompaktní celek,” doplňuje Williams.
Případ levného bytu - The Adventure of the Cheap Flat
Pokud se něco zdá být příliš výhodné, než aby to byla pravda, je to přinejmenším podivné. Když si manželé Robinsonovi pronajmou byt v londýnské čtvrti Knightsbridge za čtvrtinu obvyklé ceny, vzbudí to pozornost kapitána Hastingse, který případ levného bytu předá k vyřešení svému příteli Herculu Poirotovi. V povídce Záhada lovecké chaty brání Herculu Poirotovi chřipka zúčastnit se vyšetřování případu. Dokáže ovšem sám Hastings zjistit, proč cizinec, který navštívil pana Pace před jeho zavražděním, odešel oknem? V povídce Cikánka má Dickie Carpenter fóbii z cikánů, vyplývající z tajemného prožitku z dětství. Má se nového setkání znovu obávat, nebo může být tentokrát jeho spásou? V poslední povídce Lampa s tajemným nádechem slyší malý chlapec v bytě, kam se se svojí matkou právě nastěhoval, záhadné kroky a hlasy jiného chlapce. Mohou jeho vjemy souviset s osudy bývalých nájemníků?
