Swimming for England
A darkly satirical literarythriller that will captivate readers of transgressive fiction and socialcritique. When Faisal emerges from the English Channel after his record-breaking swim from France, Brian and Eileen Pratchett expectgratitude—after all, they rescued him from the refugee pool, fed him, trainedhim, transformed him. But Cameron, a young Scottish drifter, has come searchingfor his brother Malcolm, one of the Pratchetts' earlier 'projects.' Malcolm wasgoing to be a tennis champion. Instead, he disappeared. As Cameron's questions growmore pointed and Faisal's gratitude turns ambiguous, the Pratchetts' carefullymaintained facade begins to crack. Behind their respectable seafront home withits immaculate rose garden lies a darker story—one of control, obsession, andthe terrible price of failing to meet expectations. Swimming for England is amasterful psychological portrait that operates simultaneously as thriller,social satire, and searing indictment. Goodman's prose is both beautiful andbrutal, his imagery visceral, his characters rendered with uncomfortable intimacy. This is fiction that disturbs, provokes, and lingers—perfect for book clubsseeking compact, challenging material and readers who appreciate the intersection ofliterary ambition and page-turning suspense.
Keltská mytologie
Velká ilustrovaná encyklopedie: Bohové, hrdinové, netvoři a legendy starých keltů.
Tento obsáhlý svazek je kompletním průvodcem podmanivým světem keltské mytologie. Odhalte jeho tajemství a nechte se pohltit dávnou magií!
Keltské kmeny ze střední Evropy migrovaly do Francie, na Pyrenejský poloostrov a na Britské ostrovy, kde postupně daly vzniknout irské, velšské, cornwallské a bretaňské mytologii. V jádru tohoto geografického rozšíření stála kosmologie bohatá na přírodní symboliku, v níž se svět duchů úzce prolínal s každodenním životem. Na významných posvátných místech, jako jsou Brú na Bóinne
a pahorek Tara, můžeme toto propojení keltského Onoho světa s pozemskou říší pozorovat zcela zřetelně.
Koňská bohyně Epona byla široce uctívána v Británii, Galii i v některých částech Pyrenejského poloostrova. Její kult zahrnoval budování malých svatyní všude tam, kde byli ustájeni koně. S rostoucí oblibou Epony převzaly její uctívání také jezdecké oddíly římské armády.
Uctíváni byli samozřejmě i mužští keltští bohové, především Dagda, Lugh, Cernunnos a Manannán, bůh jezer a moří. Vedle těchto božstev nacházíme ve velšských vyprávěních také draky, čaroděje a magii, zaznamenané během keltského obrození v 19. století v souboru Mabinogi, který vychází ze čtrnácti staletých pergamenů křesťanských mnichů. Dozvídáme se zde i o okolnostech narození Myrddina – čaroděje Merlina – jehož mýtus se vine jako nit příběhy raných Britských ostrovů a jehož postava sehrála klíčovou roli v legendě o králi Artušovi, jak se zrodila v mlhavých krajinách středověké Anglie a Francie.
Keltská mytologie tvořila podstatnou část základů západoevropských představ a víry až do příchodu Římanů a následného rozšíření křesťanství od 5. století našeho letopočtu.

Mit jelent szenvedélybeteg szülő mellett felnőni? Milyen nyomot hagy mindez a személyiségünkön?
Szenvedélybeteg családból induló gyermekek gyakran láthatatlan terheket visznek tovább: kimondatlan félelmeket, bizonytalanságot, fokozott felelősségérzetet, sérült kötődési mintázatokat és nehezen megfogalmazható veszteségélményeket.

Tudományos igényességgel és mély emberi érzékenységgel tárja fel a sajnos milliókat érintő függőség pszichés örökségét, miközben személyes történeteken – többek között Karafiáth Orsolya, Tompa Andrea és más megszólalók vallomásain – keresztül láthatóvá teszi azt, ami legtöbbször generációkon át kimondatlan marad.
A könyv hozzájárul a jelenség mélyebb megértéséhez, és kapaszkodót nyújt az érintetteknek saját élményeik értelmezéséhez, valamint fontos szakmai támpontokat kínál a segítőknek – legyenek akár a terület szakértői, akár az érintettekhez közel álló személyek.
Mert a múltunk formál bennünket – de nem szükségszerűen határozza meg, kik lehetünk.

Spinoza, Atheist
From Pulitzer Prize finalist Steven Nadler, a fascinating historical and philosophical narrative that unravels the mystery of whether Spinoza was an atheistIn 1656, a young Amsterdam merchant was excommunicated by his Portuguese-Jewish community in the harshest terms it had ever used. Baruch Spinoza was accused of unspecified “horrifying heresies,” but the precise reasons for his expulsion remain a mystery. When he published his Theological-Political Treatise in 1670, which was condemned as “the most atheistic book ever written,” he began to reveal to the world what his heresies may have been. Yet ever since the eighteenth century, most readers and scholars have assumed that Spinoza was a pantheist—even a “God-intoxicated man,” as the poet Novalis put it. After all, how could a person whose books are suffused with talk of God be an atheist? In Spinoza, Atheist, Steven Nadler, one of the world’s leading authorities on the philosopher, aims to settle the question and show that that’s exactly what he was. Nadler makes a powerful case that there is no real divinity for Spinoza. God is Nature, and isn’t an object of worshipful awe or religious reverence but can only be understood through philosophy and science. There is nothing supernatural—no mystery, ineffability, or sublimity. Spinoza does speak of “blessedness” and “salvation,” but these, too, are to be understood in natural and rational terms, as the peace of mind and happiness that come from understanding ourselves and the world. Whether Spinoza believed in God is a fascinating and enduring controversy. Spinoza, Atheist promises to transform our understanding of his views and to make clear just how radical a thinker he was and remains.
