Duel, který nemůžeme vyhrát
Nová kniha Tomáše Kozáka přináší dvojí setkání – s člověkem a technologií. Dva rozhovory odkrývají hranice našeho duševního zdraví i toho, co považujeme za „normální svět“.
Publikaci otevírá autorův rozhovor s psychologem Tomášem Morávkem o duševních poruchách. Upřímně a otevřeně spolu probírají deprese, úzkosti i další potíže, které se bohužel staly každodenní součástí moderního života. Dojde také na problematiku lidí s poruchami osobnosti, zejména se zaměří na narcisty a psychopaty, které můžeme potkávat ve vrcholových pozicích v managementu i politice. Čtenář se dozví, jak chránit vlastní zdravý rozum, jak poznat toxické osobnostní rysy a jak s podobnými lidmi správně komunikovat. Druhá část knihy obrací pozornost k jiné výzvě současnosti – k umělé inteligenci.
Autor se rozhodl prověřit AI prostřednictvím autentického rozhovoru, který s ní vedl. Ač se nijak netají svou hlubokou nedůvěrou k ní, AI na jeho konfrontační otázky reaguje překvapivě otevřeně – radí, jak se jí lze účinně bránit, jak si uchovat autonomii ve světě chytrých algoritmů a jak může společnost předejít tomu, aby jí podlehla.
Nad priepasťou života
Päť autobiografických noviel (Príčina, Pivnica, Dych, Chlad, Dieťa), v ktorých sa slávny rakúsky autor vyrovnáva s osobnými traumami a vykresľuje, ako sa stal spisovateľom: od detstva cez obdobie na internátnej škole v Salzburgu, učňovské roky a štúdium na gymnáziu až po izoláciu v pľúcnom sanatóriu. Bernhard nadčasovo zachytáva ponurú atmosféru povojnového Rakúska, a kým hľadá príčinu vlastného nešťastia a bezútešných rodinných pomerov, dáva nám kľúč nielen od vlastného vnútra, ale aj od tragikomédie sveta, v ktorom spoločne hynieme.
Spisovateľ Thomas Bernhard (1931 — 1989) sa do literárneho kánonu zapísal ako provokatér a nemilosrdný kritik rakúskej spoločnosti, dočkal sa však aj mnohých vysokých literárnych cien. V slovenskom preklade vyšli doposiaľ iba tri jeho knihy: Rúbanie lesa (preložila Jana Krejčíková, Slovenský spisovateľ, 1990), Skrachovanec (preložil Juraj Dvorský, Kalligram, 2011) a Starí majstri (preložil Juraj Dvorský, Kalligram, 2015).
Preklad a vydanie knihy z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia, ktorý je hlavným partnerom projektu.
The Broken
'I AM SO HOOKED I MAY AS WELL BE A LITTLE FISH IN A FISHING POND' ? Daggers ready. The battle is beginning. Every night I kill and I kill and I kill. And do you know what I do while I’m soaking my hand in blood? I enjoy it. Cursed with a gift from the God of Death, and robbed of every person she has ever loved, Chiara lives only for destruction. Her heart is closed. So when she is summoned by her bitter enemy the new king, Callum, to embark on a life-threatening journey into the godly realm, her answer, of course, is no. No matter that the future of the mortal world is at stake. But Callum is no ordinary enemy. Their hatred stems from passion. She can never forgive what he has done, and yet Chiara’s dark soul still craves his. But Gods don’t wait for human hearts to heal. War is coming. To save mankind, Chiara and Callum must join forces. When fighting the gods, Chiara is about to learn that it’s a fine line between life and death, vengeance and mercy…enemies and lovers. ? Readers are LOVING The Broken! 'A real banger!' ? 'I’m SO EXCITED TO CONTINUE THIS SERIES. I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED INTO BOOK THREE BECAUSE I NEED MORE OF THIS. I AM SO HOOKED I MAY AS WELL BE A LITTLE FISH IN A FISHING POND' ? 'Wow — what a sequel. Katie Galvin’s writing is sharp and addictive' ? 'Tension, romance, death and destruction' ? 'I will be delving into the next book immediately as I need to know where things are going.' ? 'The plot, characters literally everything was perfect. If you love romantasy you need to read this book.' ? 'The world building is amazing and the chemistry between the main characters is great. One to enjoy.' ?
The Cambridge Introduction to Queer and Trans Studies
The book provides a detailed analysis of important work in queer and trans studies over the past thirty years. Stretching from early figures (such as Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Judith Butler, Cathy Cohen, José Munoz, and Sandy Stone) to the most recent scholarship, it offers a rich account of these fields' major ideas and contributions while indicating how they have evolved. Centering race and empire, the book offers extended discussion of work in Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian American studies as well as engaging the Global South. The Introduction further addresses historical considerations of sexuality and gender identity, and queer and trans temporalities, while also providing a robust account of social and political movements that preceded the emergence of queer and trans studies as scholarly fields. Accessible for those unfamiliar with these areas of study, it is also a great resource for those already working in them.

Dům s dvěma věžemi
Dům se dvěma věžemi je mimořádně silná kniha o paměti, odvaze a rodinném příběhu, kterému nelze uniknout. Maciej Zaremba Bielawski, polsko-švédský novinář žijící ve Stockholmu, v ní mapuje osudy svých rodičů – jednak otce, reformátora polské psychiatrie a vězně tzv. oflagů, německých zajateckých táborů pro důstojníky, a jednak matky, která kvůli svému židovskému původu prožila hrůzy druhé světové války i Varšavské povstání. S plným nasazením a reportážní přesností odkrývá nejen příběh své rodiny, ale i hlubší vrstvy historie – od kořenů specificky polského antisemitismu po „tábory s lidskou tváří“, spravované německým wehrmachtem, které za války působily jako surreálné ostrůvky humanity.
Strhující literárně-reportážní text, ověnčený cenou Ryszarda Kapuścińského za nejlepší polsky vydanou reportážní knihu (2019), spojuje sílu osobního svědectví s fascinující historickou analýzou. Je to kniha, která dojímá, provokuje a zároveň zůstává dlouho v paměti.
Spisovatel a novinář MACIEJ ZAREMBA BIELAWSKI se narodil v Poznani v roce 1951 do rodiny lékařů Oskara Bielawského a Elżbiety Immerdauer. V důsledku státem organizované vlny antisemitismu byl v roce 1969 přinucen spolu s matkou a dvěma bratry emigrovat do Švédska. Vystudoval obor Dějiny idejí na Stockholmské univerzitě a od roku 1989 začal psát pro noviny Dagens Nyheter a také pro časopis Moderna tider. Za své publicistické texty získal řadu ocenění, např. Cenu švédské akademie nebo významnou novinářskou cenu Stora Journalistpriset (2006). Ve švédštině je autorem knih jako Minken i folkhemmet (1992), De rena och de andra : om tvangssteriliseringar, rashygien och arvsynd (1999) aj. V roce 2009 mu byl udělen titul doctor honoris causa na Lundské univerzitě. V polštině mu vyšly např. knihy: Polski hydraulik i inne opowieści ze Szwecji (2008), Higieniści. Z dziejów eugeniki (2014) a Leśna mafia (2014). Za autobiograficky laděný text Dům se dvěma věžemi (Dom z dwiema wieżami, 2018) získal v roce 2019 Cenu Ryszarda Kapuścińského za nejlepší polsky vydanou literární reportáž.
Hans Sloane's Library Collection and the Production of Knowledge
On his death in 1753, Hans Sloane's collection of books and manuscripts was estimated at 50,000 volumes, and, combined with his collected objects, would become the founding core of the British Library and British Museum. Delving into the particular history of this remarkable collection, Alice Wickenden asks wide-reaching questions about archival practices and knowledge production, showing how books function both as and alongside objects. Hers is the first book to bring the theoretical questions and methodologies arising from material culture and book history alongside a full-length study of the founding book collection of the British Library. Each carefully-selected case study raises questions that, though seemingly playful, strike at the heart of past and present practices of collecting and knowledge production: how might books of dried plants be books? Is something a book if nobody can read it? Why collect duplicates? And how, after all, do we actually define a library?

The Wild One
The arrival of the very young Dorothy - fourteen years old, redheaded, freckled - is a breath of fresh air in the life of Joaquim Simon - in his sixties, rich and divorced. Wanting to turn this ''wild one'' into a perfect model of which he can be proud, Joaquim takes her in and begins to shape her into his perfect masterpiece, as in the myth of Pygmalion. Dependence and survival, destruction and growth, are the opposites that define the crossroads of experiences and events that shape The Wild One. The novel tells the story of Dorothy, a girl who, living with Joaquim Simon and in the midst of a desire that is never fulfilled, loses her individual freedom and, at the same time, imperceptibly changes her identity. Joaquim controls everything: her name, her behaviour, her education, even her memories. These feelings of possession towards her make him aware not only of his loneliness and cruelty, but also of his old age. The Wild One is structured in such a way that, from our position as readers, we are forced to participate in the thoughts of these two characters through the use of parentheses that complete what is not said. This strategy not only heightens the tension, but also makes us complicit in their transformations and secrets, anticipating their dramatic end.
Anyák napjai
"Az anyaság Svetlana Žuchová világában nem ünnep, a gondoskodás nem megnyugvást hoz, hanem új kérdéseket. Zorának a kisfia okoz fejfájást, Tamarának az idősödő anyja, és csak remélni tudják, hogy idővel minden megoldódik. Az Anyák napjai az észrevételről szól: arról, hogy néha az anyaság maga is megfigyelés, kísérlet, tévedés.
„Tibor figyel rá, egyszeriben boldog, talán tényleg felesleges minden aggodalma, talán mostantól minden rendben lesz. Talán csak egy őrült elsőgyerekes anyuka, aki túlságosan aggódik, talán túloz, amikor úgy érzékeli, hogy Tibort semmi nem érdekli, hogy nem fordul meg, amikor szólongatja, kitér a tekintetével, és nem alszik. Ő lenne a világon a legboldogabb, ha tényleg saját magában lenne a hiba.“"

Take a Hike
WHY DATE A MOUNTAIN MAN? Because it's effing in-tents.
Bounty Hunter Charlie Pax is in a bind. Not only did her own mother skip town after putting the family home up as collateral, but it's days before her first court hearing and she still hasn't been found. If she doesn't show, Charlie and her sisters will lose everything. There's only one thing left for Charlie to do: make a big show of leaving town with the one piece of bait sure to lure her mother out of hiding and set a trap for her in the remote Rocky Mountains town of Simpson, Colorado.
Surly Simpson firefighter Kieran Byrne is no stranger to being on the wrong side of the law. He's the prime suspect in the murder of a local militia leader, and he needs help proving his innocence before he can take the fall for someone else's crime. Charlie's got her hands more than full, but pretty soon the two strike a deal: if she can help Kieran prove his innocence, he will use his contacts to track and entrap her mom. Two birds, meet one stone.
As they break into the local militia's compound, dodge flying bullets, and hunt for the stolen necklace, Charlie and Kieran discover they share an explosive attraction…and a growing affection neither can deny. But is there room for something as soft as romance in either of their hardscrabble worlds, or will the call of that lifelong adventure be something neither can find it within themselves to deny?
