Muž, který se bál žít


Co kdyby vás nejvíc nebrzdily okolnosti, ale vlastní strach? Muž, který se bál žít je silný příběh o člověku, který si uvědomí, že pouhé přežívání není život. Uvězněný v jistotách, které dávno ztratily smysl, se rozhodne udělat radikální krok – vydává se na Camino de Santiago, kde chce najít odpovědi na otázky, před nimiž dosud utíkal. Každý kilometr této cesty se stává nejen fyzickou výzvou, ale především výletem do vlastního nitra. Setkání s druhými poutníky, samota, únava i nečekané okamžiky porozumění ho nutí přehodnotit minulost, strach i představy o budoucnosti. Postupně zjišťuje, že skutečná změna nečeká v cíli, ale v odvaze vyrazit. Tento inspirativní román není jen příběhem o putování, ale o hledání smyslu života, lásky a schopnosti vystoupit z komfortní zóny. Je to kniha, která čtenáře zasáhne, povzbudí a připomene jim, že žít naplno není samozřejmost – je to vědomé rozhodnutí. Vychází v překladu Kateřiny Romanové.

Pinen


A fierce, tender collection of stories about the lives, traumas, and dreams of Mapuche youth in modern-day Chile.Jesús, Valeska, Yajaira, and Ale are some of the vivid characters that inhabit the stories told in Pinen , a book that casts an unflinching gaze on the stark margins of urban life. Within its pages unfold the bullet-ridden death of a big shot from the blocks; the fraught, often violated sexuality of women in a displaced community; the unwavering bond between two friends navigating the waria ; the toxicity that seeps through youth and the distances that inevitably come with growing up; and, finally, a fierce declaration of love to the clandestine spirit of a brother. These are young lives that drift through the many peripheries of the city carrying a hope as immense as the injustice that defines their days.The stories that make up Pinen invite the reader into an intimate, often overlooked space – those small, enclosed rooms where the everyday tragedies of the many silently unfold. With brutal realism and lyrical restraint, Daniela Catrileo renders these acts of courage and violence with masterful precision, granting voice and presence to those rarely seen in literature.

The Good Pornographer


Walace Weiss, a famous fantasy novelist struggling with drug addiction, sets himself on a twofold quest: to finish his first book in more than a decade and, like the immortal elves of his stories, to try to remember what, in his long life, he should not have forgotten. While many have come to view Walace as a bad influence on children, literature, and himself, his impact sweeps across worlds both fantastic and real, leading to his establishing a new kingdom in his neglected McMansion, Summerheim. The result is a mock-epic in rehabilitation, starring such friends and enemies as Cal, Walace’s dealer and private jester; Dragon, a porn star turned guidance counselor; Epiphany, a lunch lady and stripper in recovery; her son, Tuffy, planning everyone’s funerals at age nine; Jackal, newly sober and in touch with his emotions for the first time; and Wolf, Walace’s socially withdrawn twin brother and reluctant doppelgÄnger. Brian Bouldrey piles on the laughs and absurdity alongside dollops of humanity. With brilliant recklessness, he praises and pokes fun at genres, conventions, fandoms, and critics, offering a Deadpool-like exploration of an upside-down world filled with epic quests, epic mistakes, and epic characters.

Bohové jste vy


Spisovatel a doktor práv Bohumil Hrabal prošel řadou profesí: byl skladníkem, výpravčím, pojišťovacím agentem, dělníkem v hutích, baličem starého papíru. Myšlení autora spojovaného s živelným vypravěčstvím a hospodskou historkou mělo ovšem i duchovní rozměr. To, co pozorní čtenáři dosud jen tušili, potvrdil nedávný nález nahrávek Hrabalových adventních promluv na faře v Libici nad Cidlinou. Už jako sedmdesátník v nich Hrabal nejen odhaluje vzácnou citlivost k posvátnému rozměru života, ale vykládá své odmítnutí právnické kariéry a příklon k lidem na dně jako svou cestu „malého krista“. Pavel Hošek je profesorem religionistiky na Evangelické teologické fakultě UK. Soustavně se věnuje duchovnímu rozměru krásné literatury, mj. v díle Jaroslava Foglara, E. T. Setona, J. R. R. Tolkiena či C. S. Lewise.

Neschopnost


Neschopnost, román spoluautora legendárního seriálu Červený trpaslík, se dokáže zaseknout pod kůži. Co před lety při prvním vydání působilo jako drsná satira, dnes čteme téměř jako dokument. Rob Grant popisuje svět, v němž se neschopnost stává normou, hloupost strategií a cynismus podmínkou přežití. Hrdina příběhu se snaží obstát v systému, který nepřeje inteligenci, empatii ani odpovědnosti — a zjišťuje, že největší trumfem je nebýt příliš schopný. Grantův humor je ostrý, nemilosrdný a přesný – ostatně jako vždy – a Neschopnost zraje jako víno: s dobou nevyčpěla, právě naopak. V éře manažerských frází, prázdných gest a algoritmického myšlení působí až znepokojivě aktuálně. Je to kniha o moci, selhání a lidské povaze — a o tom, proč svět často řídí ti nejméně vhodní lidé.

Básnici zo Stasi


V čase studenej vojny sa tajná služba Nemeckej demokratickej republiky rozhodla posvietiť si na spisovateľov, vycvičiť si vlastných lojálnych autorov, ktorí budú ochotne informovať príslušné orgány o zákulisnej atmosfére literárneho života, a získať na svoju stranu ľudí, pripravených sledovať svojich nekonformných kolegov. Z agentov sa stávali poeti, z poetov agenti. Kniha nemecko-britského novinára Philipa Oltermanna rozpráva nepravdepodobný a málo známy príbeh básnickej tvorivej dielne na východonemeckom ministerstve pre štátnu bezpečnosť, známom ako Stasi. Na základe päťročného archívneho výskumu a rozhovorov s aktérmi a aktérkami autor nielen rekonštruuje pozadie a fungovanie tohto krúžku, ale zároveň približuje jeho špecifické miesto v bezpečnostnom aparáte krajiny socialistického bloku. Spojenie jednej z najsurovejších tajných polícií s jemným básnickým remeslom znie možno groteskne. Oltermann však ukazuje, že nemuseli mať od seba tak ďaleko, ako by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Obzvlášť v prípade Nemeckej demokratickej republiky, krajiny s bohatým kultúrnym dedičstvom, výsadným postavením spisovateľov a literárneho umenia a tiež, slovami Georgea Steinera, s intenzívnym, priam religióznym vzťahom k písanému slovu.

The Valkyries


The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters. Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir.

All the Cameras in My Room


Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist. Michael DeForge has been dissecting the comics visual language for more than a decade and continues his creative winning streak with his tenth book for D&Q and second collection of short stories, All the Cameras in My Room. The prolific cartoonist s hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In 'Figure Skating,' a star athlete s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in 'Holiday Special,' a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader s brain. Deforge s stories break down how we consume pop culture, interrogate our relationship to star power and recontextualize our nostalgia into a shared mythology, cementing his place as the most consistent and beguiling cartoonist working today.
