Csehov - Irodalmi zseblexikon
A Csehov világát és műveit bemutató zseblexikonból Tompa Andrea értő tolmácsolásában felsejlik a természetvédő, műfaji újító, a látható és érzékelhető világot kíméletlen pontossággal és empátiával lejegyző, meglepően modern író alakja. Bulgakov mellett a leghíresebb orosz orvos időtlen művei a színpadon és a könyvek lapjain is a mai napig tovább élnek.
A Scolar Kiadó irodalmi zseblexikon-sorozata szubjektív, szellemtörténeti szempontú válogatás, mely a világirodalom klasszikus szerzőit és műveit mutatja be. A zseblexikonok a hagyományos lexikális adatok, évszámok mellett rengeteg háttér-információt, érdekességet is tartalmaznak az egyes szerzők emblematikus műveiről, a korról, amelyben íródtak és természetesen a szerzőkről. Az egyes kötetek írói a téma szakértői, olvasmányos, élvezetes stílusban, rendszerezve segítenek eligazodni az adott szerző életművében.
"Nélküle nem volna modern dráma, de prózája is fordulatot hozott. Mindkét műfajban újító. Szemléletében, tárgyában és technikájában is.
Csehov az emberi szenvedés, magány, elvágyódás írója. Szemtanúként ír, aki nem ítélkezik és nem jövendöl. Prózájának központjában nem az absztrakt társadalom áll, hanem az ember, szokásaival, nyelvével, finoman letapogatott, érzékien és tömören megjelenített világával és főleg elbeszélhetetlen fájdalmával, magányával.
Hol témákról, hol technikákról, hol szemléletről, hol emberekről, hol a biográfiáról alkottam szócikket, de célom elsősorban a művekről való valamiféle szintetikus gondolkodás volt. Rengeteg mű kimaradt az említésekből. Ha az olvasónak hiányérzete lesz, helyes - azt jelenti, alámerült Csehov gazdag és gyönyörű világában."

R.E.M. - Kapela, ktorá nechcela byť slávna
Na jar v roku 1980 sa zišla skupina hudobných exotov, aby odohrala svoj úplne prvý koncert na študentskej párty v Athens v štáte Georgia. V priebehu nasledujúcich rokov ovládli svet s albumami ako Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster a Green. Expresívna hudba, tajomné texty a osobitý hudobný štýl R.E.M. nemali obdobu a séria obrovských úspechov vyústila do získania roly hovorcov celej generácie.
Nechceli mať nič spoločné s tým, čo od nich chceli iní alebo čo od nich očakávali, prípadne do čoho ich tlačili. Niežeby nedokázali meniť názory. No svojím tempom, svojím spôsobom, keď boli na to pripravení. Odmietali písať skladby s tradičnou štruktúrou či texty, v ktorých by bolo možné rozoberať doslovný význam. Odmietali pracovať s producentom, ktorý požadoval, aby upravili piesne pre rádiá. Napriek, alebo azda vďaka veciam, ktoré by nikdy nespravili, ich publikum počas osemdesiatych rokov neustále narastalo. Keď držali v rukách nástroje, stačilo len vypiecť zosilňovače, odpočítať ďalšiu skladbu a urobiť trochu hluku. Všetci pripravení? Ako by povedal Michael Stipe na začiatku každého živého koncertu: „Táto skupina sa volá R.E.M. a robíme toto.“
Americký spisovateľ Peter Ames Carlin prináša strhujúcu hudobnú biografiu americkej rockovej skupiny R.E.M. a opisuje cestu štyroch priateľov – Michaela Stipea, Petra Bucka, Mikea Millsa a Billa Berryho úskaliami hudobného sveta. Pozoruhodne poetickým štýlom na stránkach presiaknutých nostalgiou vykresľuje históriu hudby 90. rokov až k takmer úplnému kolapsu veľkej hudobnej éry a zachytáva generáciu, ktorá prispela k etablovaniu rocku na svetovej scéne.

Shamanism
What are the origins of shamanism and what is its future? Do shamans believe in their powers? What exactly is trance? And what can we learn from indigenous healing practices?
In this enlightening book, anthropologist Manvir Singh offers a new explanation for one of the most misunderstood religious traditions. Travelling from Indonesia to the Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use and indigenous curing ceremonies, he journeys into the origins of shamanism. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realities and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism’s ubiquity stems from its psychological resonance. Its core appeal is transformation: a specialist uses initiations, deprivation and non-ordinary states to seemingly become a different kind of human, one possessed with the superpowers necessary to tame life’s uncertainty.
Following a fascinating cast of characters, Singh tells a larger story about the ancient and modern expressions of this timeless tradition. He argues that biomedicine can learn from shamanic practices, yet that psychedelic enthusiasts completely misrepresent history. He also shows that shamanic traditions will forever re-emerge – and that by journeying into humanity’s oldest spiritual practice, we come to better understand ourselves, our history and our future.
The Half Bird
When Susan quit her job in London and set sail off the south coast of England on her beloved sailboat, Isean, she was unaware this spontaneous departure would lead to a three-year journey spanning several countries across the continent.
With only the very basics on board, resourcefulness becomes an unexpected source of joy and contentment. The highs and lows of living in such an extreme way awakens a newfound appreciation for the beauty of her surroundings, for being safe - for just being alive.
For all the physical and navigational challenges of her journey, the other side of her story reveals a more important change - an inner journey - that took place along the way.
This wasn't merely a challenge, a mid-life adventure or gap-year career break; it was much gentler than that, but much greater too.
She was seeking nothing less than an entirely different life, having left the land far behind to call the wild, unbiddable sea home.
Palestine
A powerful graphic novel, capturing the heart of day-to-day life in occupied Palestine.
In late 1991 and early 1992, at the time of the first Intifada, Joe Sacco spent two months with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, travelling and taking notes.
Upon returning to the United States he started writing and drawing Palestine, which combines the techniques of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling to explore this complex, emotionally weighty situation. He captures the heart of the Palestinian experience in image after unforgettable image, with great insight and remarkable humour.
The nine-issue comics series won a l996 American Book Award. It is now published for the first time in one volume, befitting its status as one of the great classics of graphic non-fiction.

Essential Labor
“Angela Garbes has given us the definitive explanation for something we all share: the sense that something is not right about our society’s treatment of parenting. Essential Labor is a beautifully written, painstakingly researched, and courageously personal book. Garbes reveals the way systems exploit caregiving and shows us how the essential work of mothering can fix not just family life, but society. A timely and unforgettable book.”—Heather McGhee, New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of Us
From the acclaimed author of Like a Mother comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change.
The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers—and the lack of a social safety net to support them—writer Angela Garbes found herself pondering a vital question: How, under our current circumstances that leave us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life?
In Essential Labor, Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context—the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color.
Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society. In Essential Labor, Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting a child's bodily and emotional needs as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level.
Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering.

Deep Listening
Why do so many conversations leave us feeling unheard and disconnected? Drawing on her celebrated experience as a former BBC journalist, accredited executive coach and mediator, in Deep Listening Emily Kasriel argues that it’s because we’ve forgotten how to truly listen.
Distracted by our own agenda, we so often hear without understanding, impatiently waiting for our turn to speak. In this exploration of transformational listening, Kasriel shows how shifting from surface level exchanges to deep listening can enrich our relationships as friends, parents and partners, enhance our effectiveness as leaders and strengthen the fabric of our communities.
Grounded in scientific studies, new research and powerful stories from legendary listeners in politics, business and the arts, Kasriel unveils her simple yet transformative eightstep approach. With Deep Listening as your guide, you’ll find inspiration and practical guidance on how we can better listen to each other, even when we fiercely disagree.
At once a practical guide and a heartfelt manifesto, this groundbreaking book challenges us to rethink our approach to listening and, in doing so, transform our lives from the inside out. Whether readers seek to strengthen their empathy, boost their performance at work or foster genuine understanding across cultural, political and generational divides, Deep Listening provides the tools and inspiration to unlock the power of lasting, meaningful connections.

The Great Wave
In the twenty-first century, a wave of political, cultural and technological change has capsized our old certainties and assumptions, creating both opportunity and danger.
As people lose their faith in old institutions and elites, radical voices at the margins and the grassroots are disrupting the status quo. This is the time of the outsider – the protester, the populist, the hacker. Some of these outsiders have sown chaos, like Donald Trump, and others have provided inspirational leadership, like Volodymyr Zelensky. But all have grasped this precarious moment to make something new.
Writing with a critic’s incisive understanding of cultural trends, Michiko Kakutani outlines the consequences of these new asymmetries of power, and looks back to similar hinge moments in history, from the waning of the Middle Ages to the aftermath of the Second World War, to find a way forward.
For there is, Kakutani argues, always the promise of transformation in times of turmoil. We can surrender to the waters, give in to the gathering chaos, or we can use the wave’s momentum to propel us into a more stable and sustainable future.

It is a time of magic and adventure, of chivalry and courtly love, when great evil must be met with heroic deeds. It is a time of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
Realms of the Round Table presents for the first time an extensive collection of forgotten tales, retold for a new generation of readers by a modern-day Merlin, the world-renowned Arthurian authority, John Matthews. Contained within are a rich feast of Arthurian love stories and tales that delve deep into the darker mysteries of the Great Wood and the denizens of fantastic lands beyond.
Here also is a heady mixture of magic, faery lore, wisdom and mystery – capturing extraordinary tales of Camelot’s greatest knights, such as Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain, and others less well known, and soaring from high adventure to mystical accounts of the Grail. There is even an Arthurian Christmas tale!
These age-old stories, companions to those collected in the sister-volume, The Great Book of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, honour the work of Thomas Malory in his legendary Le Morte D’Arthur. They are dramatically brought to life by the luminous paintings and drawings of internationally acclaimed Tolkien artist, John Howe, to present a glorious reimagining of the most influential work of English fantasy ever written.
