Účaří
Po devítileté odmlce od vydání sbírky Volné verše, nominované na cenu Magnesia Litera, přichází Ondřej Hanus s novou, kompozičně sevřenou knihou, která jako by se zároveň vracela ke kořenům jeho poetiky. Účaří navazuje na autorovu práci s jeho erbovní formou sonetu, která obepíná zhruba třetinu básní sbírky, a s využitím principů symetrie a kontrastu buduje celek na napětí mezi rozpadem a řádem, volností a (s)vázaností, bolestí a něhou. Podobně jako sbírka Výjevy, za kterou autor obdržel Cenu Jiřího Ortena, je Účaří symetricky rozděleno do dvou zrcadlově komponovaných částí a sleduje pohyb od výchozího bodu k lyrické pointě, od vzdoru k tichému smíření, od úzkosti k útěšnosti. Tematizuje přitom jak mezní zkušenosti těla a paměti, tak samotnou možnost poezie, jazyka a rytmu jako prostorů uchování i překročení. V koncentrovaném, obrazově naléhavém jazyce se zde setkává existenciální reflexe s potřebou a hledáním řádu – a právě z tohoto pnutí se rodí Hanusova dosud nejtišší a zároveň vnitřně nejvyhrocenější sbírka.
Autorem obálky a ilustrací je malíř a básník Matěj Lipavský. Souběžně se sbírkou vychází také stejnojmenné hudební album, na němž vybrané básně zhudebnil Jan Hoskovec alias Razumikhin (razumikhin.bandcamp.com).
The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance
BEHIND EVERY HERO, THERE'S A HISTORIAN
An ambitious young scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer's inn - only to uncover a centuries-old secret in this heart-warming and poignant fantasy.
Mount Vengeance is legendary, a monumental climb with a dragon at its peak.
For most, it's an adventure, or a quest to prove themselves worthy of fame and glory.
For Ainsworth, it's perfect thesis material.
Ainsworth Gladsly, ambitious young scholar, research fellow and up-and-coming historian is finally ready to make his mark on the world. When his supervisor learns of a rustic inn at the foot of the legendary Mount Vengeance, she sends him to be the first to document the exploits of the bold adventurers who face the perils of the mountain - and the dragon said to inhabit it.
But the inn is far from the sophisticated city life he's grown to love, and even as he grudgingly warms to its rustic charm - and its lovely innkeeper, Honey - the mystery of the mountain refuses to reveal itself. Worse, Ainsworth can't find evidence that anyone has ever undertaken the climb - every adventurer comes to the inn, stays for a single night, and then returns home.
And with Ainsworth's reputation as an academic on the line, it's a mystery he can't allow to remain unsolved - even if he has to push the adventurers up the mountain himself.
The Sentinel State
Countering recent hype around technology, a leading expert argues that the endurance of dictatorship in China owes less to facial recognition AI and GPS tracking than to the human resources of the Leninist surveillance state.
China watchers long argued that economic liberalization and prosperity would be harbingers of democracy. Instead, the Communist Party's grip has strengthened. How? The answer lies in the effectiveness of the surveillance state. And the source of that effectiveness is not just facial recognition AI and phone tracking. Technology is important, but what matters more is China's vast army of domestic spies.
Central government surveillance data is confidential, so Minxin Pei turned to local reports, police gazettes, leaked documents, and interviews with exiled dissidents to provide a detailed look at the evolution, organization, and tactics of the surveillance state. Following the 1989 Tiananmen uprising, the Party invested in a coercive apparatus operated by a small number of secret police capable of mobilizing millions of citizen informants. The Party's Leninist bureaucratic structure-whereby officials and activists penetrate every sector of the economy and civil society, from universities to delivery companies to monasteries-ensures that Beijing's eyes and ears are everywhere.
Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.
The Shampoo Effect
OVER ONE LONG SUMMER, WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT COME OUT IN THE WASH?
When writer Caroline Lash arrives in Greenhead, she falls immediately for its scenic beaches and New England charm - and even harder for Van Whittaker, a gorgeous, fleece-wearing, litter-collecting, kayak enthusiast.
She meets his friends: Augusta, old money and uptight; Fran, drowning in everyone else's problems whilst keeping two kids (and an inebriated husband) afloat; and Bailey, who is sexy, confident… and inconveniently pregnant with Van's child.
Determined nothing will dull the shine of her new romance, Caroline joins the friends as they run wild through Greenhead, drinking on houseboats, gossiping on beaches while their children paddle, and playing risky games.
It seems the fun will last forever - until it doesn't. As decades-old friendships and marriages begin to fracture, Caroline's place in their world is called into question. And with all the group's most tightly held secrets at stake, who knows what might come out?
Dazzlingly funny, sexy, and as juicy as it is astute, The Shampoo Effect is a story of late-night parties, early mornings with small children, and old friends finally growing up - despite all their best efforts.
Upland
The first complete history of Britain's mountains, capturing their beauty, tragedy and the pivotal role of these dramatic landscapes in the nation's past and future
'A definitive history of our rocky isles from the most magisterial and far-seeing perspective. Every page holds a fascinating nugget' GAIA VINCE, author of Nomad Century
Britain's mountains are our grandest and wildest places, their vast openness providing inspiration and escape. But they are now so revered that we overlook the many peoples who long inhabited them and the dramatic history of plunder and dispossession that explains how strangely empty these regions have become.
Derided for centuries as uncivilised wastes, Britain's uplands in fact hosted richly cultured, distinctive and resilient populations. And yet by the time Romantic poets 'discovered' the beauty of these places, the land itself had been denuded by clearances, famine and the needs of sheep and landowners.
From the earliest Brittonic tribes to present-day tensions between farmers, tourists and ecological activists, Upland repopulates Britain's mountains with the kings and monks, soldiers and poets, engineers and industrialists, visionaries and campaigners who made them what they are.
When a Rhino Has to Wait
When a restless little rhino has to WAIT, a speeding CHARGE may follow, and a racing, anything-but-still rhino can be BIG trouble. But what every little one must understand is that WAITs don’t just get in the way, they’re what builds up to the best part of your day!Dynamic illustrations reveal not only the many positives to waiting patiently but the playful possibilities of living in the moment. A swimming pool SPLASH or a scrumptious soup SLURP might be minutes or hours away, but there’s so many things to do in the meantime. Draw, take a deeeeep breath, daydream. For little rhinos (or readers) who let their imaginations run wild instead of their feet, time spent waiting can be sweet, surprising, or even spectacular. A rushing romp through some of each day’s toughest tests of time, this rhino-sized adventure is ready to trample the stigma around waiting and roar out its secret fun, offering creative suggestions on how little ones can productively and patiently spend downtime. Perfect for young readers who have trouble sitting still (and for grown-ups who have heard “Are we there yet?” more than a few times), this fun picture book proves that, sometimes, the best things really do come to those who wait.
Panzer III vs. T-34
Dva ikonické tanky východní fronty, německý Panzer III a sovětský T-34, ve vzájemném souboji. Seznamte se s jejich vývojem, konstrukcí, výzbrojí, pancéřováním i skutečnými bojovými zkušenostmi posádek v tankových soubojích od operace Barbarossa až po boje o Moskvu.
Když síly Osy 22. června 1941 napadly Sovětský svaz, měly PzKpfw III a T-34 plnit úlohu hlavních středních tanků svých armád. Ani jednoho z nich se však nedostávalo v takových počtech, s jakými se původně počítalo. „Čtyřiatřicítka“ si sice rychle vydobyla respekt, její skutečné výsledky v boji jej však potvrzovaly jen částečně. Naproti tomu „trojka“ byla ve srovnání se svým sovětským protivníkem menší, lehčí a hůře vyzbrojená, těžila však z podpory zkušenější a lépe organizované armády.
Tato publikace prostřednictvím barevných ilustrací, archivních fotografií a fundovaného textu vycházejícího z ruských i německých pramenů ukazuje, jak Panzerwaffe dokázala využít svých bojových zkušeností a lepší organizace k eliminaci taktických předností T-34. Studie současně dokládá, jak PzKpfw III rychle ztrácel svůj význam, jakmile se ukázalo, že nemůže nést kanon dostatečně výkonný k ničení T-34 na větší vzdálenost. Uvnitř najdete příběh válečných strojů i mužů, kteří je obsluhovali. Vstupte na bojiště a ponořte se do autentické zkušenosti skutečného historického zápasu.

Nové povídky malostranské a jedna z Dejvic
Města mívají své figurky. Potkáváme je na ulicích a známe z letmých setkání. Někdy známe i jejich příběhy, jindy si je domýšlíme. I někdo z nás může být pro jiného takovou figurkou. Jan Neruda si v Malostranských povídkách pohrál s postavičkami své doby. A dnes? Figurky se změnily, kulisy a příběhy zůstávají.
Specimen Days
''I obey my happy hour''s command, which seems curiously imperative. May-be, if I don''t do anything else, I shall send out the most wayward, spontaneous, fragmentary book ever printed.''One of the best kept secrets of modern autobiographical literature, Whitman''s autobiography moves in brisk, episodic fashion to chronicle the life of one of the world''s best loved and most influential poets. Experimental in form, lyrical in expression, and rich in experiential content, Specimen Days still awaits a much wider readership than it has hitherto commanded. Whitman gives us his life as lived in relation to the shifting urban and rural ecologies of a young nation -a nation that had freshly emerged from catastrophic civil war and that was assuming the vanguard of artistic, technological, economic, political, and philosophical modernity.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
