At the Palaces of Knossos


A captivating retelling-newly translated-of the rise and fall of the Minoan civilization interwoven with some of ancient Greece’s most enduring myths At the Palaces of Knossos is a vivid reimagining of ancient Crete, blending history and mythology into an epic tale of heroism, love, and destiny. Set against the grandeur of the Minoan court, the novel brings to life the legendary stories of Theseus, the Minotaur, Ariadne, Daedalus, and Icarus. The story follows Theseus, the prince of Athens, who arrives in Crete as part of the annual tribute of young Athenians sent to feed the monstrous Minotaur. Determined to end this brutal cycle, he infiltrates the labyrinthine palace of Knossos, where he crosses paths with Princess Ariadne. Struggling between loyalty to her people and her love for the courageous stranger, Ariadne risks everything to help Theseus in his quest. Through the eyes of palace attendants, acrobats, and the inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus, Kazantzakis transports readers into the splendor of Minoan culture-its sacred rituals, breathtaking bull-leaping ceremonies, and vibrant city life. But as Theseus prepares to face his destiny, a tragic chain of events unfolds, leading to heartbreak, betrayal, and the downfall of a once-mighty civilization. Rich with philosophical depth and lyrical prose, At the Palaces of Knossos is more than a mythological retelling-it is a meditation on power, freedom, and the eternal struggle between fate and human will. Perfect for fans of historical fiction and Greek mythology, this novel offers a compelling journey into one of the ancient world’s most fascinating eras.

Reel Politik


An absurdist comic strip satire of cinephilia in the attention economyA specter is haunting the cinema. A contrarian crew of small town theatre employees trade quips about directors, film criticism, and contemporary moviegoing, but underneath their banter and clashes with customers, an ideology begins to take shape. With the help of a dissatisfied cinephile and some witchy magic, the employees radicalize, take over the theatre, and seize the means of projection.What starts out as a workplace comedy simmers and then explodes into an absurdist Marxist-Leninist cinema-focused tract. The Reel Politik revolutionaries demand that we ditch the small screens in our pockets for the big ones in the theater as they take on streaming services, phone addiction, algorithms, phony democracy, and the conventions of moviegoing etiquette. Does that mean they hijack the Criterion Closet van? You bet it does.Cartoonist Nathan Gelgud both champions and lampoons the aspirations and failures of cinema and not a single sacred cinematic cow goes un-punched in this manifesto for revolution through film.

Kapitán Kornelius Báthory, šermíř, rytíř a básník, už mnohokrát prokázal své vojenské kvality.

Dnes, kdy je Michalu Báthorymu dvanáct let, chce Kornel všechno napravit a opět se mu stát otcem. Osud však chce, aby upřímnost svého pokání prokázal velkými oběťmi a podstoupil nevídané útrapy. Michal je totiž zajat loupeživými martalovci a než se jeho otec vyléčí z těžkých zranění, stopy po chlapci pohltí Osmanská říše. Skončil v otroctví, nebo v některém z janičářských výcvikových táborů? Je jen jediný člověk, který ví, kam přesně Michala zavlekli. A ten se právě připojil k turecké invazi do Sedmihradska. Kornel se vydává na cestu k transylvánské pevnosti Varadín, proti níž už táhne obrovská přesila Turků…

After a lifetime as the dark sorcerer's right-hand witch, she's ready to turn over a new leaf. And this time, she wants to sprout peonies instead of poison.

Deník školní inspektorky


Co všechno jste si mohli za socialismu koupit v cukrárně za dvě koruny? Za kolik bonů se daly v Tuzexu sehnat rifle Lee Cooper? Po jakém zboží toužila většina náctiletých a co byl trapas? Která písnička od Korna a Vondráčkové vám v osmdesátkách pomohla získat kluka vašich snů? Jak vám trojka z bižule a dvojka ze zemáku mohla změnit život a jak souvisí první rande sestřenice s nákupem ovocné šťávy? To vše a mnohem více se dozvíte v knížce, která vychází ze skutečného deníku Moniky Gargulové z let 1978–1988. Deník školní inspektorky funguje jako stroj času, který vás přenese do doby, kdy byla Rubikova kostka žhavou novinkou a zájezd k Balatonu nebo nákupy v NDR absolutní metou. Díky autentickému textu, dobovým fotografím a výstřižkům, dokumentujících každodenní život v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech, je tato knížka dokonalou vzpomínkou na dobu, kterou buď milujete, nebo nesnášíte, anebo obojí zároveň. Autorka v současnosti pracuje jako školní inspektorka. Tato „diagnóza“ se objevuje už v jejích zápiscích z dětství, kde s pečlivostí, podobně jako do třídní knihy, zaznamenává, kdo ve třídě zrovna chyběl, kdo dostal jakou známku a kterého kluka právě miluje.
