Science Comics: Prehistoric Mammals
Mammals are survivors - when dinosaurs went extinct, they survived. From lush jungles to deep oceans to sweltering deserts, mammals now dominate nearly every environment on Earth. But how did they do it? Take a trip back in time and discover how extreme changes in climate have pushed mammals to evolve new traits, including hooves, claws, tusks, big brains, and even blow holes. Join us as we explore our mammalian history, and maybe the past will hold the key to surviving in the future.
Hegedűs a háztetőn
A századfordulón keletkezett sajátos zamatú írás a jiddis irodalom időtálló értékei közé tartozik.
Tevje, a Kijev melletti aprócska faluban élő zsidó tejesember élete egyáltalán nem fenékig tejfel, de mégsem pöröl az Örökkévalóval, csak amolyan baráti módon társalog vele, és inkább mindenre mond egy bölcs mondást vagy áldást a Szentírásból vagy a Tórából – ha pedig nem talál, akkor ő maga fabrikál egyet.
Tevjének van hét leánya, akik tradicionális szüleikhez képest már a modernebb világot testesítik meg, számukra a személyes boldogság előbbre való az elvárásokhoz való alkalmazkodásnál. Az apjuk ugyan mindent elkövet, hogy a családot összetartva lányait a zsidó hagyományok szerint adja férjhez, de a fiatalok fellázadnak, ők már a vallási kényszerházasságok helyett szerelemből akarnak férjhez menni. Emellett nemcsak a családot, de egész környezetüket sújtja a szegénység, a betegség, a pogromok… Tevje házában állandó vendég a balszerencse, ő mégis igyekszik megőrizni derűs életszemléletét.
Choroba, ktorá nebola
Choroba, ktorá nebola je román o sile predstavivosti a detstva. O zostupe do temných vrstiev vlastného vnútra a o návrate k svetlému prameňu, ku ktorému sa – ak chceme – dokážeme vrátiť. Tak ako sa to darí holubom, ktoré vždy nájdu cestu späť.
Svet sa niekedy zdá rozdelený na tých, ktorí konajú a nenechajú sa vystrašiť, a na ľudí s tichou bolesťou ukrytou pod kožou. Pre Lorisa sa všetko začalo v detstve, v lete plnom čara, v záhrade starého otca. Práve tam sa jeho úzkosti rozplývali, tam sa učil stavať voliéry a chovať holuby.
Dnes má Loris tridsať rokov, čítanie sa stalo jeho povolaním, žije v meste a má priateľku Jo. Práca vo vydateľstve je však neistá, tlak dospelosti drvivý a úzkosť zlyhania ho postupne pohlcuje. Loris sa začína uzatvárať do seba: najprv z obrany, neskôr preto, aby načúval varovným signálom vlastného tela. Vnútri sa usídľuje neurčitá choroba, bez diagnózy, no schopná odniesť so sebou všetky zvyšky nádeje. Keď sa lekári, partnerka aj rodičia vzďaľujú, zostávajú mu už len dvaja spojenci: sociálne siete, ktoré živia jeho fantómy, a Katastrofa – premenlivá bytosť, raz mačka, raz vlčica, raz priateľka či nevesta, zvodná a posmešná sprievodkyňa jeho najťažších chvíľ.
Giulia Caminito sa vracia k sebe samej a k svojej generácii, ktorá nezažila vojny ani hmotný nedostatok, no zdedila samotu siete a neistotu. Jej presná, úsporná próza sa tu otvára prekvapivo snovej atmosfére. Hypochondria sa mení na nezabudnuteľnú protagonistku a medzi mestskými blokmi vyrastá temný les, v ktorom sa pohybujú naše najintímnejšie a najbolestnejšie skúsenosti.

Run
Run, Eisner Award Winner for Best Graphic Memoir, is an essential graphic novel, whether for the home or the classroom. First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling, award-winning team behind March. This follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series March is the continuation of the life story of John Lewis and the struggles seen across the United States after the Selma voting rights campaign. To many, the civil rights movement was capped with the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. All too often, the depiction of history ends with a great victory. But John Lewis knew that victories are just the beginning. John Lewis was one of the preeminent figures of the movement, leading sit-in protests and fighting segregation on interstate busways as an original Freedom Rider. He became chairman of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. He helped organize the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the ensuing delegate challenge at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. And he co-led the march from Selma to Montgomery on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.”In Run, John Lewis and longtime collaborator Andrew Aydin reteam with Nate Powell—the award-winning illustrator of the March trilogy—and are joined by L. Fury, making an astonishing graphic novel debut, to tell this often-overlooked chapter of civil rights history. “In sharing my story, it is my hope that a new generation will be inspired by Run to actively participate in the democratic process and help build a more perfect Union here in America.”—Congressman John Lewis“Run recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic change—the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of those who believe change has not gone far enough. John Lewis’s story has always been a complicated narrative of bravery, loss, and redemption, and Run gives vivid, energetic voice to a chapter of transformation in his young, already extraordinary life.” —Stacey AbramsNew York Times Top 5 YA Books of the Year · Top 10 Great Graphic Novels for Teens (Young Adult Library Services Association) · Washington Post Best Books of the Year · Variety Best Books of the Year · School Library Journal Best Books of the Year

The Ultimates
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsThe 1990s and early 2000s were a time of intense change and experimentation for Marvel Comics. Out of this emerged The Ultimates—a comic that would have an explosive impact on Marvel and the broader pop culture landscape. Writer Mark Millar, with artists Bryan Hitch, Andrew Currie, and Paul Neary, reimagined the classic characters that made up Marvel’s premiere super hero team, the Avengers. Looking at them through a modern, post-9/11 lens, the creators treated the characters as super soldiers who reported to the US government. Illustrated with full-color art, Ted Adam’s entry in The Marvel Age of Comics takes readers through Marvel of the ‘90s: the Marvel Knights imprint, the creation of the Ultimate universe with Spider-Man and the X-Men, and finally the Ultimates themselves. With its unique blend of grounded realism and over-the-top action, The Ultimates ensured that comic books and pop culture would never be the same.

Každý ze tří sourozenců má naprosto odlišné vzpomínky na dětství. Každý z nich je jiný. Kdo z nich však vlastní ten „správný“ obraz minulosti? Co se celá léta tajilo? Kdo nese vinu? A co si jako sourozenci navzájem dlužíme?
Další mistrovsky vystavěný román oceňované švédské autorky, která působivě zpracovává téma mezilidských vztahů a obratně zachycuje různé úhly pohledu.
