Yet, though living in Manhattan and working her dream job is all she ever wanted, she still struggles to form genuine connections and find meaning in her life outside of her best (and only) friend, Jen. That changes when a dating app leads her into a throuple with a couple who offer exactly the kind of love she needs. And for some time, it's perfect. But as her doubts grow Vicky must decide whether try and hold on to what she has, or to once again do what she does best . . . destroy.

Perlička na dně
Prostí lidé, na první pohled nijak zajímaví, vyprávějí své zážitky, přehánějí, improvizují, baví se vymýšlením a vzpomínáním, prostě „pábí“. Hovorovým jazykem se spoustou slangových výrazů zachycuje autor život z často „odvrácené strany“ a v lidech z takzvaného společenského dna nachází onu pověstnou „perličku na dně“ a proniká tak k pravému, i když v hrubé skořápce ukrytému jádru lidí. Svěžím a objevným vyprávěním dokáže Hrabal přenést vzrušení z nevyčerpatelnosti a krásy života i na čtenáře.

Pohled z kabiny
Co všechno zažije člověk, který tráví život mezi dálničními kilometry, parkovišti a nekonečným tichem kabiny kamionu?
Kniha o životě na cestě – ale taky o hledání smyslu, pravdy a vlastního směru. Autor vás bez příkras zve přímo k sobě do kabiny. Mezi kávou z benzínky, nočními přejezdy hranic a únavou, která se nedá obejít, vznikají texty o lásce, samotě, víře, pádech i znovunalezené síle.
Nejde o klasické vyprávění. Kniha kombinuje osobní zpověď, krátké příběhy, poetické texty i provokativní úvahy o světě, systému, manipulaci a svobodě člověka. Místy vás rozesměje, jinde znejistí, někde vás možná i vytočí – ale nenechá vás chladnými. Autor otevřeně přiznává, kde končí realita a kde začíná fantazie. A právě tam vzniká prostor k zamyšlení.
Pohled z kabiny je kniha pro ty, kteří mají pocit, že se svět zrychlil až příliš. Pro ty, kdo se nebojí jiného pohledu. A pro všechny, kteří cítí, že život není jen o cíli – ale o cestě.
Protože kormidlo svého života držíš v rukou jen ty sám.

The Little Prince
Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world.
The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a children's fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the "secret treasure" of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates.
Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that "grown-ups are very strange"; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature.
De Saint-Exupéry's aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. "The only reason to speak in riddles," he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, "is to solve them."

Jacqueline Lamba: The Forgotten Surrealist
Jacqueline Lamba (1910-93) defied categorization. She is remembered only as the wife of André Breton, French poet, founder of Surrealism, but she was not just his spouse, she was a painter in her own right. A long overdue revaluation of her life and contribution to Surrealism has brought her out of the shadow into her rightful place. After divorcing Breton, she was married for 14 years to American sculptor David Hare. Lamba's extrarordinary life brought her into contact with many leading artists of the period: Leonora Carrington, Alberto Giacometti, Roberto Matta, Dora Maar, Yves Tanguy, Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera. And as Salomon Grimberg here reveals for the first time in previously unpublished letters, she had an affair with Frida Kahlo. Thanks to exclusive interviews with people who knew her throughout her life, Grimberg uncovers Lamba's complex personality: often impossible to deal with, she had a habit of destroying those of her paintings with which she was not completely satisfied. But enough works survive to make an impressive oeuvre, and Grimberg interprets her painting with an authority that makes this biography essential reading for anyone interested, not just in feminism and Surrealism, but in the whole history of art in the twentieth century. Written by an art expert previously the author of celebrated works on Frida Kahlo. Repositions Lamba as a leading light of Surrealism rather than a footnote to it. Plate section features numerous high-quality images of Lamba's finest extant works as well as photographs of Lamba with Breton, Dora Maar, Picasso and others.
The Bewitching
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Seeing Matters
In Seeing Matters, Sarah Awad offers a psychological exploration of how images shape our actions, perceptions, and identities. She examines how we use images to symbolically and materially influence the world, others, and ourselves, while also revealing how the images around us shape our thoughts, emotions, and memories. Awad investigates the social and political dynamics of visual culture, questioning who is seen, how they are portrayed, and why these representations matter. By using clear language and real-world examples, she makes complex theories accessible to readers, offering diverse methodological approaches for analyzing a wide range of image genres – such as graffiti, digital memes, photojournalism, and caricatures. This comprehensive analysis addresses the politics of visual representation, making the book an essential guide for researchers across disciplines, while providing valuable insights into how images impact society and our everyday lives.
