Rabín sa rozpráva s Ježišom
Autor knihy sa v duchu stáva v Galilei poslucháčom Ježišovej Reči na vrchu. Ako pravoverný rabín sa usiluje pozorne počúvať tohto nového učiteľa a porovnáva jeho učenie s tým, čo hovorí židovská Tóra. Chce vedieť, ako by reagoval, keby vtedy stál na úpätí vrchu, na ktorom zazneli Blahoslavenstvá. Ježiš ho fascinuje. Vstupuje s ním do dialógu, pýta sa ho na témy z jeho učenia, ktorým nerozumie.
Pozýva aj čitateľov, židov i kresťanov, aby s takouto zvedavosťou vnímali Ježišovo učenie. Aby si všímali, čo sa im páči a čo ich dráždi. Hovorí: „Píšem túto knihu s cieľom objasniť, prečo kresťania veria v Ježiša Krista a v radostnú zvesť o tom, že je vládcom v nebeskom kráľovstve, kým židia veria v Mojžišov Zákon a už tu na zemi a vo vlastnom tele tvoria Božie kráľovstvo kňazov a svätý Boží ľud… Mojím cieľom je pomôcť kresťanom stať sa lepšími kresťanmi, pretože môžu na týchto stránkach nájsť jasnejšie vysvetlenie toho, čo svojou vierou vyznávajú.“
Rabín Jacob Neusner (1932 – 2016) akademicky pôsobil na viacerých amerických univerzitách. Pápež Benedikt XVI. jeho knihu Rabín sa rozpráva s Ježišom označil za najdôležitejšiu knihu židovsko-kresťanského dialógu na konci 20. storočia a často ju citoval vo svojom diele Ježiš Nazaretský (Dobrá kniha, Trnava 2022).

Glorious Dead
Laurie Blount, the ''enfant terrible'' of the West End, the voice of a generation, a shining star. Also: dead. Very, very dead. Reeling at being left behind, his husband Jo, best friend Vivi, and goddaughter Rosy must step out from the shadows and begin a new life, at their own pace. But scattered chapters of Laurie''s unpublished memoirs ensure that while he may be dead, he''ll never leave them. Waspish, wicked, and witty, they reveal a side to Laurie nobody really knew - or would admit to knowing. But who''s already had their eyes on them, and is it all really true? Who should his grieving loved ones believe to be the real Laurie - the lovable, arch comedian they knew, or the adulterous, somewhat tragic figure who comes alive on the page?Jo is about to discover he has more in common with his dear departed husband than he ever imagined, and that comedy and tragedy are just the same mistakes, made under different lighting. Those we adore let us down, halos can dim, and pedestals are there to be toppled. If Jo is ever to find peace in the future, he must confront Laurie''s past.PRAISE FOR JUSTIN MYERS''Funny, kind, insightful book, about those who get left behind'' Russell T Davies''The Fake-Up is everything I want from a rom com.

Hallucinations
Have you ever seen something that wasn’t really there? Heard someone call your name in an empty house? Sensed someone following you and turned around to find nothing?Hallucinations don’t belong wholly to the insane. Much more commonly, they are linked to sensory deprivation, intoxication, illness, or injury. In some conditions, hallucinations can lead to religious epiphanies or even the feeling of leaving one’s own body. Humans have always sought such life-changing visions, and for thousands of years have used hallucinogenic compounds to achieve them.In Hallucinations, with his usual elegance, curiosity, and compassion, Dr Oliver Sacks weaves together stories of his patients and of his own mind-altering experiences to illuminate what hallucinations tell us about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture’s folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all, a vital part of the human condition.Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
River of Consciousness
Two weeks before his death, Oliver Sacks outlined the contents of The River of Consciousness, the last book he would oversee.The bestselling author of On the Move, Musicophilia, and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks is known for his illuminating case histories about people living with neurological conditions at the far borderlands of human experience. But his grasp of science was not restricted to neuroscience or medicine; he was fascinated by the issues, ideas, and questions of all the sciences. That wide-ranging expertise and passion inform the perspective of this book, in which he interrogates the nature not only of human experience but of all life.In The River of Consciousness, Dr Sacks takes on evolution, botany, chemistry, medicine, neuroscience, and the arts, and calls upon his great scientific and creative heroes – above all, Darwin, Freud, and William James. For Sacks, these thinkers were constant companions from an early age; the questions they explored – the meaning of evolution, the roots of creativity, and the nature of consciousness – lie at the heart of science and of this book.The River of Consciousness demonstrates Sacks’s unparalleled ability to make unexpected connections, his sheer joy in knowledge, and his unceasing, timeless endeavour to understand what makes us human.Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.

Budem stáť pred Pánom
Náš život nie je cesta nikam. Náš život má cieľ. K tejto pravde nás má viesť i niekoľko úvah knižky, ktorej cieľom je upriamiť nás na život vo večnosti. Preto prosme:
Dobrý Bože, raz budem stáť pred tebou. Daj, aby sa mi myšlienka na to stávala svetlom, ktoré mi svieti; pravdou, ktorá ma oslobodzuje; múdrosťou, ktorou budem žiť; radosťou, ktorú mi nik nebude môcť vziať; láskou, ktorá nezaniká; cieľom, ktorý dosiahnem; pokojom, ktorý vo mne zavládne; silou, ktorá ma očistí; milosťou, ktorá ma navždy zjednotí s tebou a zachráni pre večný život lásky.
Trauma Industrial Complex
*The new book from the Orwell Prize-Winning author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us*Today, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books – my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, I’ve observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma.In Trauma Industrial Complex, I ask the question: How did we get here? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped? In this revealing and deeply personal book, I’ll pull back the curtain, sharing the hard-won wisdom I’ve gained from the events brought on by telling my own story.Praise for Darren McGarvey:‘An Orwell for today's poor’ – The Times‘The standout, authentic voice of a generation’ – Herald‘McGarvey is a rarity: a working-class writer who has fought to make the middle-class world hear what he has to say’ – Nick Cohen, Guardian

Might this in fact be happiness? Ruth immerses us in an experience that challenges our most fervent beliefs.

Frankenstein
Frankenstein neboli moderní Prométheus (Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus), obecně známý jen jako Frankenstein, je hororový román Mary Shelley, poprvé vydaný v roce 1818. Vypráví příběh mladého vědce Viktora Frankensteina, který stvoří umělého člověka, monstrum ohyzdné podoby s nadlidskou silou. Román byl mnohokrát zfilmován a patří mezi klasická díla hororového žánru. V současné popkultuře se slovem „Frankenstein“ zjednodušeně označuje samo monstrum, případně nevzhledný člověk či nestvůra. Román v sobě propojuje prvky gotického románu a romantického románu (např. utrpení, plynoucí z osamělosti hlavních hrdinů i netvora). Román si klade otázku, jak moc je „stvořitel“ zodpovědný za „stvořené“, a do jisté míry je i varováním před důsledky vědeckých experimentů a sobeckým zaměřením moderního člověka v době průmyslové revoluce, jež je v románu stavěno do kontrastu vůči altruistickým a ušlechtilým činům často obyčejných lidí. Příběh ovlivnil literaturu i popkulturu napříč žánry a inicioval vznik mnoha hororových příběhů a filmů.

Man
The photos Judith Stanley takes are just for her, a private passion to fill her suburban days. But when she shares them with Paul Sorenson, her new photography instructor, she''s unprepared to hear his astonished praise. ''Stunning,'' he calls her photos. ''Extraordinary.'' She has an uncanny eye, he says, and should consider publication. He could help. Except Judith has no interest in sharing her work; in fact, the mere idea of it frightens her. Still, emboldened by Paul''s encouragement, Judith ventures out beyond her quiet neighbourhood to the city in search of increasingly striking images. When she starts to notice the dark shape of a man in the corner of her self-portraits, Judith is certain he''s an attacker from her past. She doesn''t know why he has returned, but she''s sure of his presence: the hoarse sound of his breathing, his hard grip on her elbow. Perhaps it would appease the man if she were to put her camera down and give up her private passion. But she can''t; she refuses. Until one night when the man finally emerges from the shadows, and Judith''s story suddenly and irrevocably becomes his own. Chilling and heart-poundingly propulsive, The Man is a phenomenal and timely novel exploring the inescapable fear of living as a woman, the tantalizing seduction of artistic freedom and the very real dangers that lurk both inside and outside the confines of the mind.
