CO JE DRAŽŠÍ: KUS TĚLA, NEBO LIDSKÁ DŮSTOJNOST? Patolog kyjevské nemocnice Severyn Donyk se každý den dívá smrti do očí – ale to nejděsivější nečíhá na pitevním stole, nýbrž za dveřmi nemocnice. Šedá zóna ukrajinského zdravotnictví, kde se mrtví stávají obchodním artiklem a živí bojují o přežití, vtahuje frustrovaného Severyna do pasti dluhů, intrik a nelegálních kšeftů. Když přijme nabídku od záhadné firmy Materia Obscura, zdá se, že konečně našel cestu ven. Co na tom, že musí občas schválně určit špatnou diagnózu, ukradnout vzorek tkáně nebo mrtvému vyříznout nějakou kost. Jenže za každé rozhodnutí se platí – a hranice mezi obětí a viníkem se nebezpečně rozmazává. Tanec s kostmi je strhující medicínský thriller o černém trhu s částmi lidského těla, plíživém rozkladu lidského svědomí a marném boji za důstojnost. Řízný ukrajinský bestseller oceněný BBC News Ukraine Book Award 2022 za knihu roku. Pro fanoušky krimi thrillerů Robina Cooka, Petera Maye či Jense Lapiduse.

The Dance and the Fire


In a gripping new novel by acclaimed Mexican writer Daniel Saldana París, three friends forever bound by erotic flames of the past reunite in a city engulfed by wildfires and an ecstatic dancing plague. After years apart, three high school friends return to Cuernavaca, Mexico, where an intense love triangle left an indelible mark on their adolescence. The city, claustrophobic as wildfires press closer, reawakens the past and confronts them with their present: the entanglement of friendship and desire, the seemingly distant discovery of sexuality, complex parental relationships, and the daunting task of artistic fulfilment. In the background, forces of chaos and destruction are a constant presence. As fires ravage the physical landscape, one of the friends begins choreographing an ecstatic dance inspired by the German Expressionist Mary Wigman and medieval Danse Macabre. What starts as a coping mechanism for the anxieties of disappearing youth and climate catastrophe becomes an overpowering, all-consuming hysteria. Mysterious powers are awakened, the boundary between reality and myth begins to blur, and the friends find themselves immersed in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain universe.

The Past is a Grotesque Animal


Tommi Parrish is an Australian trans cartoonist and one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary comics and graphic novels. Balancing emotional honesty with a keen awareness of the human condition, Parrish navigates fear, loneliness, identity, body politics, queer desire, masculinity, fear, and the ever-fluid nature of all human relationships. The Past Is A Grotesque Animal collects over two dozen short stories of varying lengths, interspersed with ephemera from Parrish''s own life: diary entries, photographs, illustrations, paintings, and more. Parrish''s autobiographical elements inform their voice as a writer, and the ways their characters constantly find one another adrift in their own seas of experience, current situations, trauma, and desire - and how those things coexist, and how they are complicated by outside forces and internal ones that affect our hardwired need for meaningful connection. The book also showcases Parrish''s singular and assured visual style, blending clear lines, expressionistic character designs and gorgeously complex, hand-painted colour. ''I think of my work as trying to work out how to cultivate a type of intimacy that doesn''t have a roadmap, and everyone is just feeling around in the dark trying to work out how to do it,'' Parrish says. ''I think that''s what I am always trying to get at - how to cultivate that closeness when you''re also really fucking traumatised and lonely. I know a lot of people where that''s their story. There have definitely been moments where that''s my story as well.''

The Cracks We Bear


Instead of joy, she feels fear, and then anger at her own late mother for her absence. The Cracks We Bear opens as a story about new motherhood. Soon, however, it reveals itself to be an exploration of memory and trauma as Laura starts to recall her childhood in Chile. Born in exile to staunchly communist parents, she returns to Chile with her mother after the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In the fledgling democracy she grows up in, topics of capitalism and communism are ever present. Laura''s reflections, born from personal experience, are interwoven with raw and honest memories of her family life. Borrowing elements from the Bildungsroman, and pulling from the Latin American short story tradition, Catalina Infante recounts Laura''s past in vignettes. Piece by piece, the short chapters come together like a reconstructed vase, bearing its cracks.

Darovaný vztah


Žádná jiná doba roku není tak zatížena očekáváním a stereotypními představami jako doba adventní a vánoční. Slýcháme, že bychom se měli ztišit, uvědomit si, na čem záleží, být nablízku druhým i sobě samým. Zároveň ale svět nepřestává trpět válkami, chudobou, klimatickou krizí. Trápí nás výčitky svědomí, že se nám vede lépe, a propadáme beznaději, že s tím moc udělat neumíme. V našich osobních životech často naléhavost této doby ještě více obnaží to, co se nám nepovedlo. Křesťanská zvěst nic z toho nepopírá: vychází z faktu křehkosti člověka, světa a přírody, ale předřazuje mu dobrotu a důvěru. Dítě, které je i v pokřesťanském světě symbolem této doby, je obrazem nového začátku. Vztah k sobě, k druhým a ke světu není v první řadě náročným úkolem, ale darovanou příležitostí.
