V knize naleznete příběhy, jež později ovlivnily filmové tvůrce, či které ve své době rezonovaly v médiích napříč celým světem. Třeba příběh krvavé pláže, jenž inspiroval film Čelisti, masakr dvou dívek v americkém národním parku, napadení mladé nadějné surfařky a dalších 17 hrůzyplných historek.

The Leather Boys


Outsider Classics is Dead Ink''s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcasts. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Dick and Reggie are ''leather boys'', working-class London teens with an affinity for leather jackets and motorcycles who become friends through their involvement in a gang. For Dick, the money he gets from the gang''s thefts helps to support his ailing grandmother; for Reggie, membership in the gang provides relief from an unhappy home life and a loveless marriage. When Reggie decides to leave his unfaithful wife and move in with Dick, the two soon discover their feelings for each other are much stronger than mere friendship. As they make plans for their future together, will they find the happiness they seek, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy? The first novel to offer an authentic portrayal of love between ordinary, working-class young men, Gillian Freeman''s The Leather Boys is a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction that remains moving and compelling today. Freeman''s novel and its 1964 film adaptation played a vital part in liberalizing British attitudes towards homosexuality.

A Love Story from the End of the World


What does it mean to live on our miraculous planet? Vivid, transportive, and heartfelt, each of these ten stories is a reflection of individual choice in the face of manmade apocalypse: in a near-future Seoul encased by a translucent biodome, a civil engineer charged with its upkeep contemplates an arranged marriage.

For readers of Richard Powers, Elif Shafak and Barbara Kingsolver, Juhea Kim’s first story collection views our world from breathtaking heights. A Love Story from the End of the World is an impassioned reminder that our humanity – and our best hope – will always be found in nature.

Zátišie s gitarou


Román o dozrievaní ľúbostného vzťahu a o budovaní osobností, ktorý sa odohráva v poetických kulisách starej Bratislavy, si v osemdesiatych rokoch získal srdcia mladej generácie. Dynamika a originalita charakterizujú Danicu, cieľavedomosť a vodcovstvo Petra. Budovanie vzťahu je krásna i náročná vec. Keď sa dvaja mladí ľudia skúšajú zjednotiť do súzvučného celku, musia i búrať a prestavovať seba, aby charaktermi do seba zapadli. Nie sme dokonalí, nesieme v sebe egoizmus, pýchu, nedotklivosť. Človek však potrebuje aj slobodu pre vlastný vzlet, až keď ju dostane, vie sa druhému slobodne odovzdať. Pár slov o autorke a jej diele Viera Švenková je autorka tridsiatky kníh v žánrovom spektre od literatúry pre deti a mládež po zbierky poviedok a romány. Ako dlhoročná jazyková redaktorka a prekladateľka virtuózne pracuje s jazykom a prináša hodnotovo zamerané ľudské príbehy pre všetky generácie. Zátišie s gitarou patrí k jej najúspešnejším literárnym dielam. Budovanie vzťahu je krásna i náročná vec. Keď sa dvaja mladí ľudia so svojimi predstavami a plánmi skúšajú zjednotiť do súzvučného celku, vytvoriť pár, popri poryvoch šťastia, radostného vnímania milovaného človeka, musia i búrať a prestavovať seba, aby charaktermi do seba zapadli. Nie sme dokonalí, nesieme v sebe egoizmus, pýchu, nedotklivosť – vlastnosti, ktoré môžu rozbiť krehký dar, ktorý dostávame akoby zadarmo v zamilovaní. Človek však nie je „gombík, ktorý možno strčiť do vrecka“. Potrebuje aj slobodu pre vlastný vzlet, vlastnú cestu. Až keď ju dostane, vie sa druhému slobodne odovzdať. Aj o tom je Zátišie s gitarou, nadčasová história dozrievania vzťahu. Druhou rovinou príbehu je aj večný spor otcov a detí, ktorý sa v moderných časoch čoraz väčšmi vyostruje, odráža sa takmer v každej rodine i v celej spoločnosti. Je sympatické, ak dvojica protagonistov vníma nadväznosť generácií, ľudskú reťaz siahajúcu do budúcnosti, s ktorou spájajú životné plány. Príbeh z bratislavského vysokoškolského prostredia zachytáva aj kultúrny ruch „zlatých šesťdesiatych“ a odohráva sa v poetických kulisách starej Bratislavy. Kniha si pred rokmi získala srdcia mladých čitateľov a vyšla vo vysokom náklade aj v českom i poľskom preklade. Rovnako úprimne ako pred rokmi sa v prepracovanom vydaní prihovára i dnešným mladým ľuďom, ktorí hľadajú seba i druhého. Dobrá kniha im môže byť nápomocná pri osobnom raste.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas - Karácsonyi lidércrománc (Felségek és szerelmeik 1.)


A Vörös, fehér és királykék találkozik a Karácsonyi lidércnyomással ebben a szexi és szokatlan romkomban, amiben a Karácsonyok aranyszívű hercege tiltott szerelembe esik a Halloweenek hercegével. Nicholas „Coal” Klaus régen szerette a karácsonyt. Egészen addig, amíg az apja, az aktuális Télapó az ünnepet egy üres reklámfogássá nem változtatta. Coal bármit megtenne, hogy kikerüljön a reflektorfényből. Eme törekvése közben belebonyolódik egy részeg, döbbenetesen forró csókcsatába egy rozoga bár mögött egy lélegzetelállító pasival. De a Karácsony család trónörökösét hívja a kötelesség: feleségül kell vennie a legjobb barátját, Irist, a Húsvét család hercegnőjét, akibe az öccse nem-is-annyira-titkon szerelmes. Csak úgy üvölt a helyzetről, hogy katasztrófába fog torkollani. Ám ez lehet még rosszabb is, ugyanis egy rivális érkezik, hogy elnyerje a hercegnő kezét Coaltól… és Coal szemben találja magát a titokzatos, szexi idegennel a bár mögül – Hexszel, a Halloween család hercegével. Két ünnep hercegének (akik nem tudják levenni egymásról a kezüket) megjátszott versengése egy olyan érdekházasságért, amit senki sem akar. „Bolondos és romantikus.” – Booklist „Elragadó természetfeletti romkom.” – Publishers Weekly Az év egyik legédesebb, legszexibb és legzűrzavarosabb szerelmi története. Hagyd, hogy magával sodorjon! Szereted a fantáziadús, érzéki, tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog! Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

The Antifa Comic Book


When it was first published in 2018, Gord Hill''s The Antifa Comic Book was heralded for its searing imagery documenting the history of fascism and anti-fascist movements over the last century. In the years since its publication, the term ''antifa'' has been co-opted by the right to falsely describe far-left political extremism and even terrorism. But the role played by antifa movements in fighting fascism and racism around the world remains as relevant and important as ever. For this expanded edition, Gord Hill adds new material depicting more recent flashpoints of fascist activity, including the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack, the murderous spree by Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, the infamous 2022 Canadian convoy protests, and Islamophobic and anti-migrant sentiment in a growing number of fascist governments in Europe. At the same time, Hill depicts the important work being done by anti-fascist individuals and organizations to combat this worrisome trend, made all the more crucial by Donald Trump''s return to the White House. Powerful and inspiring, The Antifa Comic Book is an important reminder of fascism in our midst and what can be done to stop it. The book includes a new introduction by Mark Bray, historian and author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.
