The Artists Who Will Change the World
With the birth of contemporary museum culture and the advent of digital technologies, the 21st century has brought a whole new means by which to access art and its histories. How do we re-map the realm of contemporary art in light of a more inclusive awareness, taking into account the unprecedented global movements of artists today and representing the divergent histories of geographies that were once peripheral? The Artists Who Will Change the World is a new global map of art that points to the future. Unlike a traditional atlas, its cartography illustrates a world of international artists who may not yet be household names, but who will undoubtedly shape the art of tomorrow.
Omar Kholeif provides an introductory field guide to what some of the most urgent contemporary artists are doing worldwide. These are artists whose work engages with the aesthetics of technology and the issues of tomorrow; artists who are developing concepts rarely tested before, or who are engaging with politics in new ways. The book is a journey of discovery that will influence generations of artists and art lovers to come.

No Good Deed
What do you do when a homeless man knows your name?
How about when he turns out to be a friend you haven’t seen in twenty years?
Do you treat him to a hot meal and see him on his way?
Give him a wad of middle-class guilt money?
Or take him in and get him back on his feet?
For Alan, there’s no question – only natural that he’d want to see his old mate Craig off the streets, even if only for a few nights, and into some clean clothes.
But what if the successful life you’ve made for yourself – good job, happy marriage, lovely kids, grand Victorian house (you did well out of the property boom, thank you very much) – is one that that your old pal would quite like to have too?
Even if it means taking it from you?
Following the divergent lives of two childhood friends, No Good Deed is a funny and painful examination of friendship, the strange currents of ambition, loathing, pity and affection that flow between people over the decades, and of men getting older as they fail and succeed.

Griša 1: Světlo a stíny
Ravka, kdysi mocná a hrdá země, se otřásá v základech. Pás neprostupné temnoty obývaný krvežíznivými nestvůrami, ji rozdělil na dvě části. Její budoucnost leží v rukou nic netušící dívky… Alina nikdy v ničem nevynikala. O to víc je překvapena silou, která se projeví v okamžiku, kdy je se svým regimentem napadena a jejímu nejlepšímu příteli hrozí smrt. Jejích výjimečných schopností si všimnou na nejvyšších místech a dívka je dopravena na královský dvůr, kde se má naučit ovládat své dosud nezkrocené schopnosti. Má se stát grišou – členkou privilegované vrstvy mágů a kouzelníků. Jenže nic v tomto světě plném přetvářky není tak, jak se jí snaží namluvit. Alina proniká do tajemného společenství grišů a poznává blíž i jejich nejvyššího mága, okouzlujícího Temnyje. Postupně přichází na to, že vše, co se kolem ní děje, má jediný cíl. Zneužít její jedinečnou moc proti celé zemi i proti ní samotné. Pokud se nechce stát loutkou v rukou zla, musí uprchnout. Jediná možná cesta však vede tam, kam se jiní neodvažují. K pásu neprostupné temnoty… Ohlasy na knihu: „Bardugo dokázala dostat do jediné knihy všechno: úžasný příběh, dojemnou romanci a neuvěřitelné tajemno." Rick Riordan, autor bestsellerové série Percy Jackson „Příběh se odehrává ve fascinujícím a originálním světě bohatém na detaily. Griša – Světlo a stíny je výjimečná kniha, nepodobá se ničemu, co jsem doposud četla.“ Veronica Rothová, autorka bestsellerové série Divergence „Úchvatné... Fantasy jak má být". New York Times Book Review O autorce: Leigh Bardugo se narodila v roce 1985 v Jeruzalémě, ale vyrůstala již ve Spojených státech v Los Angeles. Po ukončení studií na Yaleově univerzitě pracovala v reklamě, jako novinářka a nakonec i jako maskérka a odbornice na zvláštní efekty. Nyní žije a tvoří v Hollywoodu, kde je možné ji čas od času zaslechnout, jak zpívá se svou hudební skupinou. Už své tři první krátké příběhy zasadila do složitého fantasy světa Grišů, který je inspirován carským Ruskem a který není snadné si představit. V roce 2012 vydala první díl trilogie Griša, nazvaný Shadow and Bone, který se okamžitě stal bestsellerem listu New York Times. Rok poté následoval druhý díl Siege and Storm, který se rovněž vzápětí stal bestsellerem a nakonec v roce 2014 vyšel závěrečný díl trilogie Ruin and Rising. Na všechny tituly Leigh Bardugo se můžete těšit i v češtině. K vydání je připravuje nakladatelství Fragment. Spisovatelka vydala na podzim roku 2015 další knihu, která se odehrává ve stejném prostředí, ale hrdinové jsou jiní. Titul Six Crows se setkal s nadšeným ohlasem u čtenářů, stejně jako jeho pokračování nazvané Crooked Kingdom z roku 2016.

English Copular Verbs
The book English Copular Verbs presents a contrastive view of English copulas and their Czech translation counterparts.
Since the repertory of copular verbs is much narrower in Czech than in English, the translation counterparts display a variety of formally divergent means rendering into Czech the meanings carried by the English copulas, such as the speaker´s epistemic stance or an evaluation of whether the quality ascribed to the subject by the copula is a permanent one.
The study shows how salient translation counterparts can be used as „markers of meaning“, making it possible not only to identify the meaning of the individual copular verbs but also to trace other, structurally diverse English constructions which convey the same meaning as the copulas in question. The material is drawn from a bidirectional parallel corpus of Czech and English.

Devil's Elixir
What if there was an herb, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous it might shake the very foundations of Western civilisation? What if powerful forces on both sides of the law got wind of that herb, and launched a violent, uncompromising pursuit to be the first to exploit it? And what if FBI agent Sean Reilly and his girlfriend, Tess Chaykin, were, unknowingly, the only two people who could keep the lid on this existential Pandora's box, one that's capable of destabilizing the world? Sean and Tess find themselves in a race-against the clock, against drug kingpins, and even against the government, as they follow two divergent trails, one several hundred years old, the other as current as a heartbeat, which together may lead humanity to the brink of annihilation.

The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia
From the hosts of Tablet magazine's wildly popular Unorthodox podcast, The New Jewish Encyclopedia is an edifying, entertaining, and thoroughly modern introduction to Judaism. It offers everything: from an illustrated guide to determining different Hasidic sects based on their garb to practical advice for throwing an unconventional Jewish wedding to humorous, accessible explanations of Judaism's myriad holidays. The book is an alphabetical encyclopedia of short entries - some profane, some profound, and some both - heavy on the graphics and, like contemporary Judaism itself, featuring a panoply of divergent voices, all amusing and well-informed and none in perfect agreement. By weaving together the essential and the esoteric, the snarky and the earnest, the Jewish and the Jew-ish, this book honors its title, offering a truly unorthodox approach to Judaism and allowing each reader to find his or her point of connection with the culture, the tradition, and the religion. Inside, under any given letter, readers will find short essays evocatively explaining Judaism's key holidays and practices and why they still matter today; visual guides to things Jews love, like smoked fish, and how to tell your gravlax from your pastrami-smoked salmon; definitive lists of things that matter, from the best Christmas songs written by Jews to the most essential Seinfeld episodes; advice from an Orthodox sex guru, a bridesmaid-for-hire, and other people whose wisdom would benefit Jews and non-Jews alike; brief histories of Jewish traditions new and old, such as the sacred ritual of eating Chinese food on December 25; a vocabulary of words and phrases only Jews use; and so much more.

Mirage
'Somaiya Daud is a rare talent. A smart, romantic, exciting debut.' - Veronica Roth, #1 New York Timesbestselling author of Divergent
The crown of Dihya had been stripped from me, my face changed, my body broken.
But I was not a slave and I was not a spare.
I was my mother's daughter, and I would survive and endure. I would find my way back home.
In a star system dominated by the brutal Vathek empire, sixteen-year-old Amani is a dreamer.
She dreams of what life was like before the occupation, she dreams of writing poetry like the old world poetry she loves to hear read, she dreams of one day receiving a sign from Dihya that one day, she, too, will have adventure, and travel beyond her isolated moon.
But when adventure comes for Amani, it is not what she expects. When she is kidnapped by the government and taken in secret to the royal palace, she discovers that she is nearly identical to the cruel half-Vathek Princess Maram. The princess is so hated by her conquered people that she requires a body double, someone to appear in public as Maram, ready to die in her place.
As Amani is forced into her new role, she can't help but enjoy the palace's beauty-and her time with the princess' fiance, Idris. But the glitter of the royal court belies a world of violence and fear, and one wrong move could lead to her death.

The Seven Good Years - A Memoir
A brilliant, life-affirming, and hilarious memoir from a ?genius? (TheNew York Times) and master storyteller. The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keret?s son and the death of his father were good years, though still full of reasons to worry. Lev is born in the midst of a terrorist attack. Etgar?s father gets cancer. The threat of constant war looms over their home and permeates daily life. What emerges from this dark reality is a series of sublimely absurd ruminations on everything from Etgar?s three-year-old son?s impending military service to the terrorist mind-set behind Angry Birds. There?s Lev?s insistence that he is a cat, releasing him from any human responsibilities or rules. Etgar?s siblings, all very different people who have chosen radically divergent paths in life, come together after his father?s shivah to experience the grief and love that tie a family together forever. This wise, witty memoir?Etgar?s first nonfiction book published in America, and told in his inimitable style?is full of wonder and life and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humor.

American War
"Powerful . . . As haunting a postapocalyptic universe as Cormac McCarthy [created] in The Road, and as devastating a look as the fallout that national events have on an American family as Philip Roth did in The Plot Against America. . . . Omar El Akkad's debut novel, American War, is an unlikely mash-up of unsparing war reporting and plot elements familiar to readers of the recent young-adult dystopian series The Hunger Games and Divergent." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times An audacious and powerful debut novel: a second American Civil War, a devastating plague, and one family caught deep in the middle--a story that asks what might happen if America were to turn its most devastating policies and deadly weapons upon itself. Sarat Chestnut, born in Louisiana, is only six when the Second American Civil War breaks out in 2074. But even she knows that oil is outlawed, that Louisiana is half underwater, and that unmanned drones fill the sky. When her father is killed and her family is forced into Camp Patience for displaced persons, she begins to grow up shaped by her particular time and place. But not everyone at Camp Patience is who they claim to be. Eventually Sarat is befriended by a mysterious functionary, under whose influence she is turned into a deadly instrument of war. The decisions that she makes will have tremendous consequences not just for Sarat but for her family and her country, rippling through generations of strangers and kin alike.
