Kant


Kniha pre deti i dospelých Kant nórskeho držiteľa Nobelovej ceny za literatúru z roku 2023 Jona Fosseho je príbehom osemročného chlapca Kristoffera, ktorý sa večer čo večer ponára do úvah o vesmíre, nekonečne, o tom, čím je v skutočnosti „nič“ a čo vlastne znamená existovať. Tieto otázky v rozhovoroch s otcom postupne prerastajú do hlbšieho skúmania sveta. Príbeh sprístupňuje zložité témy bez zjednodušovania, približuje základné myšlienky filozofa Immanuela Kanta a učí deti nebáť sa premýšľať.

O stromech a ptácích


Kniha O stromech a ptácích vyšla v originále pod názvem Serviceberry (Muchovník). Na jejím počátku stál právě tento strom. Botanička Robin Wall Kimmerer sklízela jeho plody, pozorovala přitom ptáky a zamýšlela se nad vztahy mezi nimi a muchovníky. Uvědomila si, že zatímco muchovníky žijí v systému ekonomiky daru, my lidé jsme plně ponoření v ekonomice tržní. Ta je poháněna pocitem nedostatku a konkurenčním bojem a aktivně ničí to, co skutečně potřebujeme k životu.

Posledný prípad (William Wisting 19)


Jedného októbrového dňa Williamovi Wistingovi oznámia, že prepúšťajú na slobodu Erika Kaplina. Ten si odsedel osemnásť rokov za vraždu a spísal zoznam ľudí, ktorých považuje za zodpovedných za svoje odsúdenie. Na jeho čele je Wistingovo meno. Zároveň mu Line zverí malú Amalie, keďže odchádza do Južnej Afriky, aby tam pracovala na podcaste o málo známom príbehu z minulosti Adriana Stillera, nového šéfa oddelenia nevyriešených prípadov na kriminálnej polícii. Jeho stredoškolská láska Julia Delcourtová pred mnohými rokmi bez stopy zmizla. Line sa chcela k tomuto príbehu vrátiť, aby pochopila, čo sa v skutočnosti stalo, a zistila, prečo Stiller zasvätil svoj život riešeniu odložených prípadov. Kým sa Wisting snaží pracovať a zároveň sa starať o vnučku, zomiera náhle jeho bývalý šéf. Ten sa na dôchodku venoval starému prípadu nezvestnej osoby – prípadu, ktorý skončil na Stillerovom stole. Postupne vychádzajú najavo staré tajomstvá a v samom centre celej spleti udalostí stojí Wisting.

Na dne mora. Dovolenka v kubánskej totalite


Cigary, salsa a rum. Ale tiež potravinová kríza, bieda a všadeprítomná ozvena revolúcie, ktorá v skutočnosti žije už len v sadrových kulisách a v hlavách ľudí opantaných propagandou. Bienvednido a Cuba! Vitajte na Kube! V podaní slovenskej reportérky Kristíny Böhmer to však nebude sterilná dovolenka v prímorskom letovisku, ale dobrodružná cesta naprieč ostrovom i jeho komplikovanými dejinami. V tejto knihe sa dozvieš: - akú cestu prešla Kuba od oslobodenia spod španielskej nadvlády až po Castrovu revolúciu - ako Castrova revolúcia zradila sny mnohých Kubáncov o spravodlivej spoločnosti - prečo pri pobreží Kuby takmer vypukla nukleárna svetová vojna - či dá sa na Kube cestovať aj mimo štátnych ubytovacích zariadení - ako spolu súvisia dovolenka v rezorte a agrárna reforma Fidela Castra - ako dopadli občianske pokusy o zmenu zdola a prečo je kubánsky režim taký pevný - ako režim systematicky potláča prejavy občianskej neposlušnosti - čo si radšej nezabudnúť pribaliť do batožiny pred cestou na Kubu Kuba má mnoho tvárí. Jedna z nich je hrdá a odhodlaná ako Che Guevara na ikonickom portréte. Druhá vyzerá ako tropický raj, kde môžete zabudnúť na všetky problémy. Tretia zas zo všetkého najviac pripomína väzenie. Reportážna kniha Kristíny Böhmer Na dne mora mapuje autorkinu cestu po Kube, v ktorej sa súčasnosť poznamenaná pandémiou covidu a najmasovejšími protestami proti kubánskemu režimu za uplynulé desaťročia prelína s minulosťou od jej kolonizácie až po revolúciu Fidela Castra. Svoju cestu po Kube a obrazy z dejín ostrova Kristína Böhmer konfrontuje s výpoveďami mnohých respondentov – od prenasledovaných disidentov a exulantov až po obyčajných Kubáncov a Kubánky, ktorých stretla náhodou počas cesty naprieč ostrovom. Vďaka tomu môže porovnať obraz, ktorý o sebe vytvára režim, s realitou bežných ľudí, ktorí svoj čas trávia neustálym čakaním. Čakaním v rade na ryžu. Čakaním na rozheganý autobus československej výroby. Čakaním na to, kedy sa im konečne podarí odísť preč. Z ostrova však veľa ciest nevedie. Na slávnom Malecóne, havanskej promenáde, často posedávajú miestni a hľadia na more, za ktorým tušia Floridu, a na nej množstvo ich príbuzných a priateľov, ktorým sa podarilo ujsť. Kniha Na dne mora však nerozpráva len o dejinách a politike, ale tiež o pozoruhodných mestách a obciach, či o kubánskej hudbe, tanci a náboženstve. Poslúži tak aj ako dobrý bedeker, ktorý, na rozdiel od iných turistických publikácií netají, že ostrov na tom vôbec nie je dobre.

Project V


STEMinist mecha fantasy meets reality television in this high-stakes novel from the author of A Magical Girl Retires--a wildly imaginative tale of sibling bonds, unexpected friendship, and an existential quest to understand what it means to be human. Robotics student Kim Wooram, runner-up at the World Gigantic Mechanics Olympiad, is a world-class pilot and engineer. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she likes working solo, preferring the company of robots to most other humans. Sought by robotics centers across the globe, she chooses to return to Korea after learning of an exciting new secret government robotic project known as V. To her disappointment, only male pilots are allowed to apply. Desperate for a chance to make history and encouraged by her twin brother, Boram, the usual rule-following Wooram makes a risky choice. Posing as Boram, she auditions for Project V, the reality competition show whose winner will pilot the robot V--and quickly becomes one of the top contestants in both skill and popularity. Wooram attracts fans and friends like Seojin, the show's youngest female writer and ardent "Boram" stan, and Jeonghoon, the clumsy but lovable underdog. She also gains a rival in Jinyoung, the ruthless heir to a Korean corporate dynasty. As Wooram comes tantalizingly close to achieving her goal, she begins to realize that V's arrogant AI is a ticking time bomb. With victory within reach, and her identity at stake, will Wooram destroy the robot of her dreams to save lives, or stick to the script? Project V is a playful yet sharp meditation on some of the most pressing issues roiling modern society in Korea and across the globe: the male dominance in STEM fields, the ethics of parasocial idolatry and our addiction to social media and reality television, and the promise and peril of an AI-oriented future. Punchy and compelling, Park Seolyeon's novel is a winning exploration of ambition and creation--a quintessential novel of our present and future for mecha fans and all curious readers.

Plays Well with Others


Dating lessons from my American football-playing best friend? Sign me up! At the glittery break-up party she throws for herself, Rachel Dumont envisions lifting a glass to celebrate being free and single again. What she actually does: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to her best guy friend that she'd really like to get back on the horse. She doesn't expect Carter Hendrix's answer to be to volunteer himself. With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body, it'd be no hardship for Rachel to say yes, though she certainly doesn't want him to feel obligated to, um, service her just because her failed, loveless marriage was an s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident professional American football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, Rachel and Carter make a deal to help each other out. Pretty soon, the public how-to-date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And Rachel's a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing. Can Rachel and Carter's friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since she's suddenly longing for her best friend, and there's nothing fake about her feelings…
