Diletantismus a další eseje


Rudolf Kassner (1873 – 1959) byl jednou z nejzajímavějších a zároveň nejméně známých osobností evropského kulturního myšlení první poloviny 20. století. Narodil se ve Velkých Pavlovicích v rakousko?uherské monarchii a navzdory dětské obrně, která ho pro zbytek života odkázala na berle, se stal vášnivým cestovatelem, poutavým esejistou, překladatelem a kulturním filozofem. Kassner studoval filologii, latinu a filozofii ve Vídni a Berlíně a celý život usiloval o to, aby porozuměl lidské představivosti, kritizoval modernitu a zkoumal mystiku, hermetismus i filozofické myšlenky dalekých kultur. Jeho dílo, které zahrnuje originální eseje, aforismy a filozofické studie, ovlivnilo řadu jeho významných současníků, například Rainera Maria Rilkeho. Kassner byl třináctkrát nominován na Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, a to od uznávaných profesorů a kulturních osobností z Rakouska, Německa a Švýcarska. I když cenu nakonec nezískal, jeho myšlenky zůstávají trvalým odkazem evropské filozofie a literatury. Tato kniha o diletantismu napravuje jistý dluh vůči tomuto v mnohém podnětnému mysliteli.

One Week Later


They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other's lives - until his book inadvertently made her the villain. Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams met aspiring author Beckett Nash on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they'd found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other - so both assumed they'd been dumped. And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel. Now Beckett's debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody's book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career - and her sanity - is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There's just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost…and how much they both still want. A sun-drenched missed connection, a storm of public scandal, and a second chance romance you'll root for until the last page - perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune and Christina Lauren. Tropes * Second Chance Romance * Forced Proximity * Holiday Romance * Bookish Romcom

Don't Be A F*#cking Marshmallow


A revolutionary graphic guide to changing the world, written and illustrated by journalist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic).Legendary labor activist Dolores Huerta famously said, “Don’t be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.” Don’t Be a F*#king Marshmallow is an illustrated guide to changing the world—informed by the words and actions of freedom fighters like Dolores Huerta, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Noam Chomsky, Rosa Parks, Edward Said, Angela Davis, Audre Lorde, and Fannie Lou Hamer, tied together with insight and illustrations from journalist and artist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic). It’s a book for those who have grown tired of tepid, performative activism that all too often fails to confront the corrupt, inequitable, and inhumane systems that define modern society—and a rallying cry for the work ahead. Overflowing with color, humor, camaraderie (and the occasional friendly dress-down), it’s a vibrant, motivational companion, designed specifically for those of us who want to build a better world right now.

Semmiből egészen szerelembe


Íróként mindig az érzelmek mélysége érdekel: hogyan talál egymásra két ember, milyen buktatókon át vezet az út a szerelemig, és mi marad belőlünk, amikor elengedni kényszerülünk. Regényeimben a szenvedély, a vágy és az élet drámái szövik át a történeteket, mert hiszem, hogy az irodalom akkor érint meg igazán, ha szívből születik. Korábbi köteteim (Imádom, hogy nő vagyok, Szerelem és bűn, Én, Báthory Erzsébet) után e könyvben ismét a szív hangját követem – mert a szerelem mindig képes újra és újra meglepni minket. P. Szabó Mária

Nine Goblins


From New York Times bestselling, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a novella of low fantasy and high mischief. A funny cosy fantasy novella, perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and Thornhedge. No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure. But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece, despite a path filled with elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.
