Hodža - poslanec- minister – premiér
JUDr. Milan Hodža (* 1878, Sučany, Rakúsko-Uhorsko – † 1944, Clearwater, USA), slovenský politik, štátnik a publicista. Bol úradujúci prezident Česko-slovenskej republiky, jedenásty, prvý slovenský, predseda vlády Česko-Slovenska a viackrát minister. Napriek tomu, že v slovenskej, ale aj v česko-slovenskej politike, bol ojedinelým zjavom, veľa sa o ňom nevie, nepublikuje. Sám bol zapálený novinár a žurnalistike sa venoval už od svojich dvadsiatych rokov, o sebe toho veľa nenapísal. Zrejme však hlavná príčina tkvie v tom, že žiadnemu režimu celkom nevyhovoval. Pre ľudákov bol počas slovenského štátu čechoslovakista. Pre komunistov po roku 1948 bol predstaviteľ buržoázie a jeden z vinníkov Mníchovskej dohody. Po vzniku Slovenskej republiky v roku 1993 sa pri jeho mene spomínali mnohé „smrteľné“ politické hriechy, ale nakoniec ho vzali na milosť. No, ako sa hovorí v jednej anekdote, zlý dojem, aj po vysvetlení situácie, zostal. Kniha približuje čitateľovi život a politické pôsobenie Milana Hodžu v novodobých slovenských dejinách.

The Stone Age
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
Snář
Výklad snů neboli snář je, podobně jako pranostiky a přísloví, jedním z projevů lidové slovesnosti, vycházející ze života našich předků. Zlý sen byl považován za jakési varování, dobrý měl přinášet nějakou radost nebo příjemnou událost. Význam snů často vychází ze zkušeností a občas je kořeněn humorem. Snář, nazírán z nadhledu dnešních dnů, je naivním, ale přesto půvabným dokladem dob minulých. Nejnovější, avšak zcela původní snář obsahující výklad všech snů, pochází z osvědčených pramenů a je doplněn kolážemi Klára Trnkové.

The Man in the Red Coat
In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' shopping. One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker - a scientific man with a famously complicated private life.
Pozzi's life played out against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine.
