Jak prožít stáří


„Jsem stará. Všechno mě bolí. Všude mi visí volná kůže a mladíci už na mě nemrkají, ale úslužně mě pouštějí sednout. Zapomínám a všechno mi trvá déle než dřív. Někdy dokonce nekonečně dlouho. V uších mi píská a chodím častěji na pohřby než na pařby. Rozpláče mě i Večerníček. Nic neuzvednu, nic moc už nevymyslím. Za tramvají už dávno nedobíhám. Na druhé straně mi už nehrozí nechtěné těhotenství, odvod do armády, výběrové řízení do nové práce a ani znásilnění.“ Jak prožít stáří? Na tuto otázku se snaží najít odpověď každý, komu se podaří stáří se dožít. Odpověď hledá i rodinná advokátka a spisovatelka Daniela Kovářová ve své nové laskavé knize, která obsahuje zamyšlení, fejetony, povídky, úvahy vážné i nevážné. Všechny texty spojuje jediné téma – stáří, a jak s ním naložit, než všechno skončí. Autorka vyšší věk ani jeho trampoty nezlehčuje, ale snaží se brát stárnutí za jiný konec, než je ublíženost, fňukání a bolestínství. V knize najdete například kuchařku pro 60+, kapitolu o šedivých láskách a milování ve vyšším věku, výběr laskavých knih a optimistických filmů nebo ironický právní rozbor českých pohádek, které bezdůvodně diskriminují zasloužilé seniory. Jste staří, ale necítíte se tak? Anebo se cítíte na dvě stě let? Baví vás stárnout? Nebo vás váš věk provokuje? Mrzí? Bolí? Anebo stáří ignorujete? Či jste pořád ještě děsivě mladí? Přečtěte si, co vás čeká a co si o stáří myslí autorka a desítky jejích přátel, klasiků a známých osobností. Zjistíte, že stárnutí je odměnou i trestem. A je na nás, které variantě malinko pomůžeme.

Daddy Issues


If you loved Problematic Summer Romance and Wild Card, you'll LOVE Daddy Issues - this sweet and spicy age-gap single dad romance is bound to be your next obsession! Sam doesn't take much interest in Nick, a surprisingly cute single dad, when he first moves in next door. After all, she's 26, working a dead-end waitressing job, navigating a situationship that's both toxic and intoxicating, and living in her mom's condo. She's too preoccupied with figuring out her life to seriously commit to anyone, let alone an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty. With just one thin wall separating their bedrooms, Sam finds that she can't stay away from Nick. Maybe it's how endearingly nerdy he is, his love of Star Trek the perfect complement to Sam's comic book obsession. Or maybe it's how practical he is, fixing shelves and leaking faucets with those distractingly large hands… But as Sam starts falling for Nick, she can't ignore how different their lives are. His world is stable, settled, and his daughter is right at the centre of it, while Sam still feels like everything is up in the air. She's so busy dealing with her quarter-life crisis - is she really ready to throw daddy issues into the mix, too?

Pozvání na popravu


„Rozsudek smrti byl v souladu se zákonem oznámen Cincinnatovi C. šeptem.“ V žádné jiné ze svých próz se Nabokov nepřiblížil literárnímu světu Franze Kafky tak jako v Pozvání na popravu. Zjitřené vnímání společenské látky se tu spojuje s pocitem hlubokého existenciálního traumatu, jež má obecný charakter a o to více promlouvá k současnému čtenáři. Mladý hrdina čeká na svou popravu, přičemž není zcela zřejmá ani povaha jeho skutečného provinění, ani bližší okolnosti chystané exekuce. V tomto svíravém rámci jde odsouzenci o jediné – vymezit se vůči netečnosti světa prostřednictvím vlastního psaní. Román pochází z Nabokovova „ruského“ období, tedy z doby, kdy autor již nežil ve své vlasti, ale byl součástí široké ruské diaspory v Evropě. Přestože se příběh odehrává ve fiktivním prostředí, odkaz k mašinérii stalinské hrůzovlády je nepopiratelný. Kniha je tak považována za stěžejní dílo ruské literatury 20. století. Román doprovází doslov literárního vědce Richarda Müllera.

Sense and Sensibility


One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary 'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!' Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey.
