Magda
1919, Németország. A tizenhárom éves Hans reménytelenül szerelmes osztálytársába, Hellmutba, ám érzéseit titkolnia kell. Egy váratlan tragédia végül örökre elszakítja a fiútól, aminek fájdalma végigkíséri az életét. Amikor évekkel később, immár felnőttként újra találkozik Hellmut fiatal és vonzó mostohaanyjával, a boldogtalan házasságban vergődő Magdával, vigaszt és menedéket keresve viszonyt kezd vele. Kapcsolatuknak azonban hamar véget vet Magda megismerkedése Joseph Goebbelsszel. A nő belép a náci pártba, majd a propagandaminiszter feleségeként fontos közszereplővé válik, miközben Hans életét egyre inkább a bizonytalanság és az árnyékként leselkedő veszély uralja.
A lírai hangvételű regény húsz éven át követi egy viharos és kiélezett történelmi korban két ember sorsának alakulását, akik az események sodrában más-más módon válnak bűnössé - önmagukkal szemben is. Megragadható-e a pillanat, amikor eltorzulnak a szándékaink? És vajon hűek maradhatunk-e önmagunkhoz egy erőszakos, elnyomó rendszer szorításában?
Tűzbe mennék érted - Éldekorált kiadás
Cassie Hanwell az a tűzoltó, akit a legrosszabb helyzetekben mindenki maga mellett szeretne tudni. Amikor mások már menekülnek, ő a lángok közé veti magát - higgadtan, hűvösen, félelem nélkül.
Csakhogy nem mindig a tűz jelenti a legnagyobb veszélyt az életben.
Saját kitüntetési ceremóniáján Cassie szembe találja magát egy férfival a múltjából, aki egyetlen mozdulatával mindent visszahoz, amitől évek óta próbál menekülni: a dühöt, a félelmet. Ami ekkor történik, egy pillanat műve csupán, és mindent feléget maga körül. Cassie-nek ezután újra kell kezdenie az életét egy idegen városban, egy olyan közegben, ahol nem látnak szívesen egy női tűzoltót, legyen bármilyen rátermett is. Az egyetlen kedves kolléga, egy vonzó újonc pedig csak tovább nehezíti a dolgát, mert Cassie rég megtanulta, hogy a romantikus kötődés csupán sérülékennyé tesz.
Katherine Center regénye gyógyító erejű, szívmelengető történet a múlttal való szembenézés fontosságáról és a megbocsátás hatalmáról.

Error 404
Thursday 1st September 2039. On the centenary of the Second World War, atheist scientist Chris Deckers exploits the planet’s most powerful computer to reveal something so cataclysmic it makes five thousand years of recorded human history – wars, empires, revolutions, the lot – look like an underwhelming warm-up act.ERROR 404: GOD NOT FOUND.Yup. According to the most intelligent intelligence on the planet, the big old guy, as advertised, is a big old lie, dreamt up by Bronze Age shepherds who figured the only way to stop everyone coveting their oxen was to invent a punitive sky parent with an eggshell ego. And they left irrefutable evidence of their shaggy God story behind.Deckers should be rejoicing as his rational Eden is born. Instead, the baby’s screaming. Civilisation has lost its existential marbles and the God-shaped hole he crowbarred open is being rapidly filled by something far more sinister.In a race to save humanity’s soul, Deckers must face the one question he never thought to ask. What if faith matters more than facts?

Žoldnéři fantasie: Piráti z Karibiků
Dnes již zpola zapomenutý romanopisec Robert Louis Stevenson přivedl na scénu piráta Dlouhého Johna Silvera (a v komiksech dodnes figuruje jeho postava dvou tváří dr. Jekyll a pan Hyde). Piráti tak okupují hladinu novodobé dobrodružné literatury, ale daří se jim v i zátočinách fantastiky: skryté poklady střežené nestvůrami a bájná města v džunglích, prokleté předměty i zbraně, strašliví, bezcitní kapitáni (jako Flint).
Uplyne sto dvacet let pirátské literární slávy, než se filmaři rozhodnou Prokletím Černé perly (2003) tématu vzdát čest směsí tradičních klišé (často obracených naruby) okořeněných černým humorem a geniálním hereckým výkonem Johnnyho Deppa. Načež uplyne další čtvrtstoletí a dnes v našem sborníku můžete nahlédnout do vítězného textu na stejné vlně, kde ve strážním koši zírá do dáli elf, poklady jsou stále neměnně prokleté a lodi mají vlastní duši...

Crusader Strategy: Defending the Holy Land
A new look at the crusaders, which shows how they pursued long-term plans and clear strategic goals
Medieval states, and particularly crusader societies, often have been considered brutish and culturally isolated. It seems unlikely that they could develop “strategy” in any meaningful sense. However, the crusaders were actually highly organized in their thinking and their decision making was rarely random.
In this lively account, Steve Tibble draws on a rich array of primary sources to reassess events on the ground and patterns of behavior over time. He shows how, from aggressive castle building to implementing a series of invasions of Egypt, crusader leaders tenaciously pursued long-term plans and devoted single-minded attention to clear strategic goals. Crusader states were permanently on the brink of destruction; resources were scarce and the penalties for failure severe. Intuitive strategic thinking, Tibble argues, was a necessity, not a luxury.
Velké dějiny zemí Koruny české svazek XIX. (1968)
Dobová levice litovala, že pokus nasadit socialismu lidskou tvář skončil pod pásy tanků. Historik sice nemůže spekulovat, co by tento experiment přinesl, i tak je ovšem látka roku 1968 natolik bohatá, že vydá na celý svazek Velkých dějin zemí Koruny české.
Klíčových momentů, které příběh „osmašedesátého“ ženou vpřed, je mnoho: dva měsíce trvá odcházení Antonína Novotného z funkce prvního tajemníka, propuká Šejnova aféra, zaniká cenzura a vládnoucí strana ztrácí moc nad médii. Vzniká Akční program KSČ a krystalizují parametry nově vznikajícího politického systému, pootevírají se hranice na Západ, překotně se vyostřují československo-sovětské vztahy.
Devatenáctý svazek Velkých dějin sleduje, jak se demokratizační proces z podstatné části vymyká stranické kontrole, vedení státu bojuje za reformu na dvou frontách – doma a v socialistickém táboře – a nakonec čelí invazi, únosu do Moskvy a brutálnímu nátlaku „spojenců“. Autor hodnotí obsah tzv. moskevského protokolu a důsledky podpisu československé reprezentace. Zajímá ho však i to, jak na tyto dramatické události reagoval Západ.
Most Honorable Son
The first and only comprehensive biography of unjustly forgotten war hero Ben Kuroki, a Japanese American farm boy from Nebraska who flew fifty-eight combat missions during World War II while battling racism, injustice, and prejudice on the home front.WINNER OF THE NEBRASKA BOOK AWARD With a foreword by Naomi Ostwald Kawamura of Densho. Introduction by William Fujioka of JANM. Afterword by Jonathan Eig.Ben Kuroki was a 24-year-old Japanese American farm boy whose heritage was never a problem in remote Nebraska—until Pearl Harbor. Among the millions of Americans who flocked to military stations to enlist, Ben wanted to avenge the attack, reclaim his family honor, and prove his patriotism. But as anti-Japanese sentiment soared, Ben had to fight to be allowed to fight for America. And fight he did.As a gunner on Army Air Forces bombers, Ben flew 58 missions spanning Europe, North America, and the Pacific, including the climactic B-29 firebombing campaign against Japan that culminated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In between his harrowing combat tours, he challenged FDR’s shameful incarceration of more than a 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry in America. In the euphoric wake of America’s victory, the decorated war hero used his national platform to carry out what he called his “fifty-ninth mission,” urging his fellow Americans to do more to eliminate bigotry and racism at home.Ben’s extraordinary story is a quintessentially American one of patriotism, principle, perseverance, and courage. It’s about being in the vanguard of history, the bonding of a band of brothers united in a just cause, a timeless and unflinching account of racial bigotry, and one man’s transcendent sense of belonging—in war, in peace, abroad, and at home.
