The Eyes of Gaza - A Diary of Resilience


In early October 2023, Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a journalist. By the end of that November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza', moving millions with her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel's deadly invasion and bombardment. Written as a series of diary extracts, The Eyes of Gaza relates the horrors of Plestia's experiences, while showcasing the indomitable spirit of the men, women and children of her community. From the heart of the turmoil, surrounded by falling bombs and widespread devastation, she captures their emotions; their gentle acts of quiet, necessary heroism; and the moments of unexpected tenderness and vulnerability amid the chaos. Through the raw honesty and vulnerability of a normal twenty-one-year-old woman navigating a human tragedy, The Eyes of Gaza is a potent reminder of the horrors of violence and a powerful testament to the human spirit.

Miracle


An unforgettable testament to hope and the bonds of brotherhood, Miracle reveals the untold story of the boys who escaped the gas chamber in Auschwitz, the only known group of Holocaust survivors to walk away from the jaws of the Nazi killing machine. Early on the morning of October 10, 1944, eight-hundred boys, aged between 13 and 17, were taken out of Block 11 at Auschwitz. The night before, during a visit by Dr Josef Mengele, their identification cards had been stamped with a solitary German word - gestorben - 'died' in English. They were then marched by 25 bayonet-wielding SS men to Crematorium 5, stripped, and herded into a gas chamber. This book is the story of a true-life miracle of the fifty-one boys who were pulled from that gas chamber - the only Holocaust survivors known to have escaped such a close brush with the Nazi killing machine - and given a second chance at life. A life, of course, that would be so horrifically snatched from those around them. Based on the first-hand testimonies of six of the boys, six survivors whose stories are shared in this book for the very first time, Miracle interweaves the lives of the boys and the grander sweep of history in which they were held. The result is an unforgettable tale of hope, faith and fortitude in the face of one of the worst crimes against humanity.

Silent Catastrophes


From acclaimed critic, novelist and academic W. G. Sebald, author of Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn, a collection of essay on the Austrian writers who inspired him Appearing for the first time in English, Silent Catastrophes brings together W. G. Sebald's essays on the Austrian writers who meant so much to him. The evolution of Austria from vast empire to diminutive Alpine republic, followed by its annexation by Nazi Germany, had a profound traumatic impact on the literary output of the nation. Essays on the writings of Kafka, Handke, Bernhard and more, explore the concepts of 'home/land', 'borderland' and 'exile' with deep compassion and insight. A revelation to Sebald's English-language readers, Silent Catastrophes traces many of the themes which animate Sebald's own work and illuminates how melancholy - the contemplation of disaster in progress - is itself a form of resistance.

Praotec Róde a nápoj bojov Surima


Komiks na motívy staroslovanských mýtov a legiend Pratec Rode a nápoj bohov Surima je komiks, ktorý otvára bránu do sveta, kde sa staré slovanské mýty znovu nadýchli života. V centre príbehu stojí Rode — najstarší z bohov a jeho traja synovia, Svarog, Veles a Perún. Keď sa stratí posvätný nápoj Surima, zdroj nesmrtelnosti, začína sa dobrodružstvo, ktoré presahuje hranice času aj ľudského sveta. Tento komiks nie je len fantazijným príbehom. Je to návrat k našim koreňom, k mytológii, ktorá bola stáročia potláčaná, zabúdaná alebo prekrývaná cudzími vrstvami. V príbehu sa prelína humor, napätie aj jemná mystika. Postavy putujú cez svet ľudí, aj svet bohov, pričom každá z týchto rovín odhaľuje ďalší kúsok zabudnutej slovanskej kozmológie. Nápoj Surima sa stáva symbolom poznania, ktoré musíme znovu objaviť, ak chceme pochopiť, kto sme. Komiks je vytvorený moderným vizuálnym jazykom, no jeho srdce bije v rytme starých piesní a rozprávok. Je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že v slovanskej mytológii je ukrytá sila, krása a múdrosť, ktorú dnešný svet opäť potrebuje. AI asistované ilustrácie vytvorila Zuzana Kuglerová v spolupráci s Aičkom (Microsoft Copilot).
