Beowulf
The Old English epic poem Beowulf has an established reputation as a canonical text. And yet the original poem has remained inaccessible to all but experienced scholars of Old English. This book aims to present the poem to readers who want to know what makes it such a remarkable work of art, and why it is of such cultural significance. Most readers will only have encountered Beowulf through one of its many translations or adaptations; others have had to take on this unique survivor from a past era as a challenging translation exercise, part of their academic study of the poem. This book sidesteps scholarly debates about the poem’s unknowns – its date, provenance or author – and focusses instead on its poetic artistry, its interleaving of heroic pasts and Christian present, and its poet’s extraordinary breadth of reference, from biblical history to Old Norse myth. But the strange intricacies of Old English metre and poetic language are explained, and the poet’s evocation of the ethics and material world of an imagined pre-Viking Scandinavia is explored. Beowulf: Poem, Poet and Hero follows the story of the poem through its many interwoven voices from different times and places, and the poem emerges as a work of reflective beauty, its human characters full of touching pathos and wisdom, its notorious monsters still speaking to our own societies’ abiding insecurities. The final section, on post-medieval responses to Beowulf, shows how the poem has been taken up as a European cultural icon. This book restores its status as a literary masterpiece.

Seek The Traitor's Son
From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Seek the Traitor's Son is a dazzling, epic tale of war, fate and devastating love.
The daughter of a bounty hunter.
The knight sworn to protect her.
And the prophecy that destroys their lives . . .
Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her. She's a soldier defending her small country against a powerful enemy: the Talusar, who worship a Fever that brings death to everyone it touches . . . except those it resurrects, forever changed. Rava Vidar is a Talusar general with a reputation for cruelty and triumph in equal measure. And when Elegy and Rava first meet, it's to hear a prophecy that could apply to either of them.
It declares that either could carry their people to victory. But they won't know who will triumph - not until it's too late to change anything. And at the center of both of their fates is a man. A man who, Elegy is told, will bring her death. A man she'll fall in love with.
In one day, Elegy's old life is over. With the fate of nations hanging in the balance, she and Rava are destined to collide. And when they do, only one will be left standing. Elegy intends to make sure it's her.
An extraordinary epic begins.
Thursdays in Nairobi
'Nairobi enchants, like the eyes of a loved one, like their smile, like their kisses, like their caresses, like their very thought.' Thursdays in Nairobi is a personal account of an expat's life in Nairobi, related through a unique collection of vignettes about Kenya´s capital city. Written by Mexican journalist, foreign correspondent and former diplomat Diego Gómez Pickering, and translated from the original Spanish by Aaron Rosenberg, this unique travel narrative offers testimonies about the city's characters, history, neighbourhoods and atmospheres. Writing with affection and intensity, Gómez Pickering reveals Nairobi to be a cosmopolitan, vibrant, unequal and contrasting place where life becomes an addictive, exhilarating experience for both the chronicler and its readers. Join Gómez Pickering in exploring this Equatorial African city, sitting on his shoulder as he peers behind the scenes of diplomatic gatherings and keenly observes political life. Become a fly on the wall during Gómez Pickering's intimate interview with Sarah Onyango Obama, the third wife of Barack Obama's grandfather - and the woman that the former US President calls 'Granny Sarah'. Enjoy safaris within spitting distance of skyscrapers or brave a first-hand account of interethnic violence in East Africa. For something different, venture with the author into Kibera, the continent's largest urban slum, or head out after dark to experience Nairobi's offbeat nightlife (and, vicariously, the sex life of its inhabitants). This unprecedented collection of real-life stories celebrate the beauty, diversity, intrigue and visceral reality of one of Africa's most famous cities. Compelling, authentic and wide-ranging, Thursdays in Nairobi is a portrait of a capital where life is saturated with vitality, where emotions run high, where life is deeply felt. 'In Nairobi, one misses more, loves more, suffers more, laughs more. In Nairobi, questions that have never been asked are answered. In Nairobi, opposites meet; in Nairobi, halves unite.'

Mosaics and Micro Mosaics
From the earliest mosaics in 4th century BCE Greece and the Byzantine splendour of Hagia Sophia to the celebratory frieze encircling the Royal Albert Hall, and Eduardo Paolozzi's commission for the London Underground, this book reveals the technical and stylistic evolution of mosaic, and its prominence in political, public and civic spaces.
Drawing on a conference at the V&A, supported by the Gilbert Trust for the Arts, this volume provides both a sweeping history of the craft and fascinating insight into key events. These include the competition judged by Titian, Tintoretto, Schiavone and Veronese in 16th century Venice to choose a mosaicist for St Mark's Basilica and the prominence of mosaic in Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
The volume also considers the practical - the collection and preservation of micromosaics and also their creation through an interview with Maurizio Fiorvanti, a jeweller who has mastered the technique of micromosaics and continues to create exquisite pieces from his studio in Rome.

Tree
'Trees are not just living things, but feeling beings, like us. Better keep a watchful eye over them…'
Ezo spruce, hinoki, cherry blossoms. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan cast a spell on those who visit its landscape. But as a child, writer Aya Koda realized they were more than objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she learned that we depend on trees as much as they do on us - and spent a lifetime trying to understand them.
Mesmerising and poignant, Tree is written in a Japanese genre called zuihitsu which means 'following the brush'. Here we follow Aya Koda on a journey to discover Japan's most remarkable trees. As she witnesses landslides and forests of falling ash, she encounters fresh saplings and ancient, ungovernable roots, learning how each tree contains its own unique story.
Now translated into English for the first time, Koda's work echoes down the generations, reminding us that trees hold a mirror to who we are, and what we leave behind.

When Ella and Henry learn that the store is on the brink of collapse, they must overcome their differences and work together to save The Last Page - and maybe even find their own Happily Ever After.

Z rodičovství jsme zbytečně udělali nepříjemnou povinnost.

Dream of the Jet-Black City
All such Nightmares were born out of Dreamers' minds - angry, cruel, terrible Dreamers, yes, but still men and women. Here, in the Library, the Nightmares have sparked from dying stories, from the anguished echoes of poets and scribes carved into the crevasses of codexes.
Ash and his crew race across rooftops in pursuit of living lightning from the perpetually raging Motherstorm. This energy the jet-black city of Onyxia depends upon is all that stands between them and starvation. When a monstrous nightmare attacks, death is all but certain - until Ash Dreams a shadow panther into existence to protect himself. But this new power comes with a price: either conscription to the harrowing Academy or indebtment to a wealthy patron.
Daerna belongs to a devout sisterhood who sing canticles to pacify the eternal storm. When she learns of a mysterious sickness spreading through the city's populace, she feels it is her duty to help, even though her order has abandoned the afflicted to their fate. With fellow rebel sisters, her search into the root cause will lead her away from the light into the dark heart of the city where danger lurks.
Geil is a creature born of Dream and bound to the Drake form she conjured to survive her Academy training. While Nightmare-Hunting she encounters a young girl with the dreamer gift and feels compelled to save her from enduring the same cruel fate she faced. But this means returning to the jet-black city, home to the past she has tried to outrun and navigating the political turbulence in the wake of an election.
As each pursues their own ends, they soon discover that they share common interests. But can they find a way to learn from the secrets the city has buried within its past before their whole world turns into a living nightmare?
