Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Nová a zcela nekorektní dvojkniha karikaturisty Lubomíra Lichého je na světě. Můžete ji začít číst z kterékoli strany. Jenom si vybrat, zda dáte napřed přednost dámě nebo pánovi. Manželce či manželovi. Lichý nešetří ani jednoho. Knihou se tak prosmějete, podle toho, který začátek zvolíte. Výhodou je, že když ji otočíte, můžete pokračovat… Trocha nekorektního humoru z časů, kdy podržet ženě dveře neznamenalo jí sdělit, že si je není schopná otevřít sama, a drobné rýpnutí do opačného pohlaví se dalo přejít s humorem, a dokonce bez trestních oznámení. Zkrátka stará doba… Žijeme ve zvláštní době. Prakticky denně nám politici ve sdělovacích prostředcích předvádějí performance, o jejichž vhodnosti vysílání před desátou večerní by zcela jistě mohla být vedena odborná diskuse. Přesto jsou naladitelné v kteroukoli hodinu. Zato při slušné rozpravě je třeba našlapovat zlehýnka. Například genderová vyváženost je novodobým požadavkem, a není zcela korektní, je-li například na práci v kamenolomu požadován výhradně muž. Můžeme se setkat s bytostmi, které se identifikují třeba jako kočky, a jsou nesmírně rozladěné, když jim na veřejné toaletě chybí vanička se stelivem. Jakoby se nám starý a srozumitelný svět stavěl trochu na hlavu, na kteroužto polohu se nám nepřivyká lehce. Pokud se Vám tedy v této nezvyklé pozici nestojí pohodlně, klidně svůj trénink na chvíli přerušte, zaujměte polohu tělu příjemnou a zalistujte si v dílku, jež třímáte v prstech. Lubomír Lichý zde shromáždil řadu aforismů na téma žena a muž, pocházejících od klasiků, přátel i lidu. Vše je doplněno a podpořeno autorovým milým kresleným humorem. Manžel: definice pojmu O původu slova manžel nepanuje mezi vědci shoda. Část jich zastává názor, že pochází z francouzského manger „jíst“, zbytek je přesvědčen, že je třeba hledat pramen v německém der Mangel „nedostatek“. Ať už je tedy původní význam manžela „pojídač“ nebo „člověk, kterému něco chybí“, je zřejmé, že jde o součást domácího vybavení značně problematickou, poruchovou a z větší části postradatelnou. Dostaly-li jste se již do té ošemetné situace, že se jeden či více exemplářů ocitlo ve vašem vlastnictví, snad vám pomůže náš upřímně míněný manuál k tomu, že pro něj naleznete alespoň nějaké neškodné využití… Manželka jako zdroj všehomíra Manželka je úžasný vynález matky přírody. Pokud žena jako taková je všeobecně (a právem) považována za subjekt všeho schopný, pak s manželkou zašla příroda ještě dál, až za hranice možného a nemožného. Uzavřením sňatku se z už tak podivuhodného, ale stále přirozeného stvoření, stává stvoření naprosto nadpřirozené…

Sing us a song of the forest, of the Wood King who rules there, and the tithe he demands… No matter how far Emeline Lark runs, the song of the forest reaches her, luring her away from her dreams of the stage and back to her small town and its superstitions. But every superstition is rooted in truth, and when her grandfather goes missing Emeline will be forced to return to Edgewood and the forest beyond. There, even Hawthorne Fell, a brooding tithe collector, cannot dissuade her from her path - a path that will lead her into the court of the fabled Wood King himself - and into a bargain with the deadliest price.

Ocean, As Much As Rain

Ocean, As Much As Rain

Ocean, as Much as Rain presents for the first time in the English-language world a collection of masterfully translated literary writings by prominent Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser. In these stories, lyrical essays, and poetry, Woeser interweaves texts, photographs, silences, and documentary details. Featuring a distinctively imaginative use of satire and digressive rhetoric, Woeser’s stories bring to life Tibetan characters whose lives are entwined with politics, history, and religion. Woeser illuminates the ruins and places that she has come across during her various sojourns in Chinese-ruled Tibet, reviving sites from the past of her parents and their generation. These writings range from ingenious retellings of cultural encounters and confrontation to insightful commentaries on ecological issues and tourism in Tibet that never shun contradictions, dilemmas, or questions about the future. With an introduction by Fiona Sze-Lorrain and an author interview by editors-translators Sze-Lorrain and Dechen Pemba, Ocean, as Much as Rain is a landmark publication that celebrates the work of a steadfast dissident and a leading Tibetan literary figure of our times.

From TikTok sensation J.L. Seegars comes the first book in the New Haven series - a masterfully crafted, angsty and steamy second chance romance full of raw emotion and undeniable chemistry. *** Sloane Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man on Earth that I should want. He's arrogant, dismissive, and up until recently has only ever used those dark eyes of his to look right through me. For the last twelve years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper-thin, like my entire existence is of no consequence to him at all. But now, things are different. After one drunken night and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be...nice. Treating me like something other than the physical embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel all the things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died. Dominic Sloane Kent is going to be my undoing. What's worse: I think I'm going to enjoy being unravelled by the gold flecks in her hazel eyes and the adorable little way she scrunches her nose up when we're arguing, which we've done a lot of over the past decade. She thinks it's because I hate her, and I've always let her think that because the alternative is...untenable. But something is changing between us, and I don't know how to stop myself from breaking every promise I've ever made to myself regarding my best friend's wife. Promises that include never telling her that there's a long list of things I feel about her, but hate isn't one of them. Restore Me is an enemies to lovers romance about forbidden love after loss, and the first book in the New Haven series - a breakout BookTok hit featuring an interconnected sequence of stand-alone stories.

Chinese Ancient Origins

Chinese Ancient Origins

Beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of the Chinese and Asian peoples, highlighting the roots of modern fiction in history, myth and fable. The events of China's history and origins of its society are inextricably linked to its varied mythology and folklore, reflecting the warring dynasties and the vast landscapes of the country, where distant mountains, and long, winding rivers dominated the sight-lines of ancient peoples. A brand new, highly readable history by Scott Crawford, Chinese Ancient Origins surveys the events, cultural practices, political developments, beliefs, key individuals and roots of ancient China, from the earliest known prehistory through the collapse of the Qin dynasty (206 BCE). This span of history allows the reader to follow a clear line from the origin of humanity in China to the incipient forms of organization, then onward to feudalism and to the founding of the imperial era – a form of government persisting into the twentieth century. An ideal companion to Flame Tree's Chinese Myths & Legends. Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.
