Lindbergh : Shadows on the Wall. 45th Ed.
“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” ?Peter LindberghWith such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) was a master of his craft who made his mark in the halls of photography history.The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considered inhuman.Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Shadows on the Wall offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi.Lindbergh’s message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.

Traitors Nest
Castles traded places sometimes. Everyone knew that. It was always something that might happen, except that it never had. It was one of those unlikelihoods, like finding treasure, or being eaten by a wolf, or having a handsome, powerful stranger turn up to right all your wrongs. It could happen, except it didn’t.Until all of a sudden it did.Far above the valleys and villages of the Kingdom of Thaletal, a Great Game is played. Players move castles around the realm like chess pieces - and the ordinary villagers are mere pawns at the whim of their tactics.When 15-year-old Burr's peaceful village is disrupted by the arrival of an ominous new castle, he decides he's had enough. But what starts as a plucky coup soon escalates - and soon the castle is wrenched away to a far-flung corner of the kingdom, where whispers mount of a mysterious ancient maiden whose magpies collect her debts at dangerous prices.Here, the stakes are higher than the tallest turrets, and every move counts. Burr must work with his sisters and friends - and rely on the unexpected help of a strange and intriguing heiress - to unravel the secrets of the Magpie Maiden and the origins of the Great Game before he becomes just another casualty of the Players' deadly contest.
Will There Ever Be Another You
'Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else' The Times'Characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers' New York TimesThe world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she's afraid of her own floorboards, and the lyrics of 'What Is Love' play over and over in her ears. 'I'm sorry not to respond to your email,' she writes, 'but I live completely in the present now.'Tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side - and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world.From one of our most original, inventive and prodigiously funny writers, Will There Ever Be Another You is a phosphorescent, wild and profound investigation into what keeps us alive in unprecedented times.

Hannah Arendt
The long-awaited and revelatory biography of Hannah Arendt ? one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century ? and the story of an intellectual icon whose character and ideas continue to captivate and challenge us to this day.
Born in Germany in 1906 to a Jewish family, Hannah Arendt became a chronicler able to translate personal experience into concise analysis; an analytical thinker who wrested from Plato, Kant, and Heidegger that which seemed eternal yet was of the utmost contemporary relevance; a free spirit who felt an obligation only to her friends, her lovers, and the truth. Arendt's mode of thinking and the sheer range of her interlocutors and influences form an intellectual panorama of the twentieth century that is unparalleled. For her entire life, she refused to think within boundaries ? her teachers, friends, and intellectual allies included Heidegger, Bultmann, Mannheim, Brecht, and Benjamin, to name but a few.
Drawing on newly discovered archival materials and previously overlooked documents in both Germany and the USA, Thomas Meyer traces Arendt's journey from Königsberg to Paris ? where she fled after being imprisoned in 1933 ? and finally to New York in 1941, illuminating her formative years and the development of her radical and brilliant books, as well as her famous affair and lifelong philosophical debate with Martin Heidegger, whose Nazism was a permanent challenge to her.
Woman, friend, lover, journalist, Jew, human rights activist, philosopher and political theorist, Arendt continues to exert fascination as both icon and thinker. Meyer's biography centres on two pivotal phases: Arendt's years in Paris after fleeing Nazi Germany, and her time in the United States leading up to the landmark publication of The Origins of Totalitarianismin 1951. It was her coverage of the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961, however, that would make her world-famous ? and notorious. Her coining of the phrase *the banality of evil* to describe the Nazi bureaucrat who had helped orchestrate the Holocaust remains one of the most debated and resonant formulations in modern thought, as controversial today as when she first wrote it.
The result is not only a meticulous reconstruction of an extraordinary life but a compelling invitation to rethink her legacy for our own troubled times. At a moment of acute political polarisation, with liberalism in crisis and urgent debates about freedom, responsibility, and truth unfolding all around us, Arendt's ideas resonate more powerfully than ever ? and this magnificent biography restores to us the full complexity of the woman behind them.

Jakob
Kde leží hranice, za níž už ani ty nejlepší úmysly neospravedlní použité prostředky? V Ísafjör?uru nastává nejtemnější období roku. S blížícími se Vánocemi však klidem odlehlé islandské vesnice otřese děsivý nález – na lososí farmě v Západních fjordech je objeveno znetvořené tělo. Vyšetřovatelka Hildur Rúnarsdóttir spolu s finským policejním stážistou Jakobem Johansonem sotva stihnou zahájit vyšetřování, když v jiném odlehlém koutě Islandu dojde k další stejně znepokojivé vraždě. A brzy nato ještě k jedné. Při vyšetřování série brutálních násilných činů Hildur relaxuje surfováním v ledových vlnách Atlantiku, ale stále ji trápí, že se jí nedaří najít prostřední sestru Rósu. Jakob mezitím dělá vše pro to, aby vyhrál náročný soudní spor o péči o syna. Jak daleko je ochoten v tomto nerovném boji o dítě zajít? Tuto otázku si Hildur klade ve chvíli, kdy z policejní stanice v Kolaru ve Finsku přijme ten nejhorší možný telefonát…
Román přesouvá pozornost od hlavní hrdinky Hildur k jejímu finskému policejnímu stážistovi Jakobu Johansonovi a přináší emotivní, psychologicky laděnou detektivku odehrávající se mezi Islandem a Finskem.

Císař římský
Jaké bylo vládnout a být ovládán ve starověkém Římě?
„Kniha Císař římský se zabývá fakty i smyšlenkami o vládcích starověkého římského světa a pokládá si otázky, co a z jakých důvodů dělali a proč se jejich příběhy vyprávějí tak extravagantním až bulvárním způsobem. Věnuje se také závažným otázkám moci, korupce a konspirací. Stejně tak ale obrací pozornost i ke každodenním praktickým stránkám jejich života. Co a kde jedli? S kým spali? Jak cestovali?
Na stránkách knihy se seznámíme s řadou lidí, kteří sami císaři nebyli a ani se jimi stát nechtěli, ale umožňovali existenci tohoto systému v říši: s opatrnými aristokraty, otroky-kuchaři, přičinlivými tajemníky, dvorními šašky – a dokonce i s lékařem, který léčil jistého mladého prince ze zánětu mandlí.
Přežití římské říše jakožto systému nedává smysl, pakliže mu vládla řada vyšinutých autokratů. Mě zajímá, jak ony příběhy šílenství vznikly a jak se záležitosti říše doopravdy spravovaly, a také obavy obyvatel Říma, že vláda jeho imperátorů sice není až tak zalitá krví (to očekávali), ale že jde o podivnou a znepokojivou dystopii postavenou na podvodech a klamu.“
Heartbreak Geeks
For fans of 10 Things I hate About You and Better Than the Movies
Aliya and Kabir are rivals, willing to do whatever it takes to be top of the class.
At their elite private school, Kabir is basically royalty. He prides himself on being loved by everyone, teachers included.
Everyone except Aliya, the scholarship student. To her, he represents everything she hates. He’s rich, obnoxious and pokes fun at her at every chance he gets.
When forced to pair up during uni applications, their rivalry intensifies. Tensions build and they must confront their complicated history. Though they’d never admit it now, they were once so much more than enemies. As they spend more time together, Aliya begins to let her guard down with him.
Maybe she doesn’t really hate Kabir – and maybe he doesn’t hate her either?
Or perhaps this is just another one of their games…..

Neobyčejně obyčejný život
Když mu bylo třináct, nemoc mu obrátila život naruby. Dlouho věřil, že jeho tělo má jasně dané limity. Až později pochopil, že uzdravení začíná změnou vztahu k sobě samému. Rostislav Václavek vypráví o dětství, fungování s hypokalemickou obrnou, vztazích i o dechových technikách, díky kterým objevil nový rozměr fyzických i psychických možností. Jeho příběh ukazuje, že člověk svým odhodláním dokáže víc, než si myslí. Rozhovor doplňuje pohled autorovy manželky, maminky i MMA zápasníka Jiřího BJP Procházky.
