Ticho, ktoré hovorí nahlas
"Táto kniha nevznikla preto, že by som mala všetky odpovede. Vznikla v momente, keď som ich prestala hľadať mimo seba.
Je to osobná výpoveď o tichu, ktoré bolí, o tele, ktoré kričí skôr než myseľ, a o odchode, ktorý nebol slabosťou, ale vyslobodením.
O vzťahu, ktorý ma ničil potichu.
O úzkosti, pochybnostiach a hanbe,
ktoré sa nenápadne stali súčasťou každodenného života.
A o návrate k sebe a k vlastnej hodnote.
Pre všetkých, ktorí sa niekedy báli nadýchnuť, stratili sa vo vzťahoch, ktoré ich oslabovali, a hľadajú domov nie vonku, ale v sebe."
Speak to Me of Home
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of American Dirt, comes a heartfelt, multigenerational family story which asks: what does it mean to call a place home?
Rafaela remembers everything that matters: her beautiful childhood in San Juan, her marriage to Peter, uprooting their children, Ruth and Benny, to the American Midwest, and losing all sense of her place in the world. So she tells no one when her memory begins to slip.
Her daughter, in New York with a family of her own, wishes she could forget her muddy feelings about where she comes from - the same feelings which motivated her 22-year-old daughter Daisy to reconnect with their past.
Daisy, who has momentarily forgotten everything, hears the word critical in a hospital room in San Juan and remembers, all at once, the car that hurtled towards her, the terrible storm, and something else. What was it?
Now Ruth and Rafaela must return to the city where it all began, to gather by Daisy's bedside and confront the twists of fate that have caused a growing rift in their family and led them to this moment.

The Art of the Book
In 1949 Walter and Eva Neurath founded Thames & Hudson with a clear aim: to create a 'museum without walls' through books that would make art and scholarship accessible to all. This volume - the most comprehensive history of an illustrated publisher ever undertaken - tells through its books the history of a progressive, groundbreaking company that, 75 years later, remains true to those core founding ideals. The story of Thames & Hudson is the story of the illustrated book.
This special publication, divided into three chronological chapters, provides a comprehensive delve into the company's history. An introduction and three essays by historian Anna Nyburg take us from its origins in Vienna on the cusp of the Second World War to the 1960s and a change in management, and to the new millennium and beyond. Thames & Hudson's rich output of groundbreaking and award-winning titles - ranging across the subjects of art, archaeology and architecture; history, design, photography and fashion - is celebrated in stunning pictorial spreads, as beautiful and compelling as the books themselves.
The Art of the Book will be a valuable resource for those interested in the history of bookmaking and T&H's impact over the years, and a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the art and evolution of publishing.
Birds, Sex and Beauty
In his new book, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley looks to the peculiar mating rituals of birds to better understand the rich origins and ongoing significance of Darwin's sexual selection theory.
Animals rarely treat sex as a simple or mutually beneficial transaction. Choosing a mate is often a transcendent event to be approached with reverence, suspicion, angst and quite a bit of violence. For Matt Ridley, nowhere is this more acute than in birds.
From a freezing hide on the Pennine moors at dawn, Ridley closely studies the rare Black Grouse. He is there for the lek - an elaborate courtship ritual of squabbling and strutting males. They dance and sing for hours each day to attract a mate over several months. With most males leaving exhausted and unsuccessful, Ridley looks at how females make their choice to cast fresh light on how such rituals have evolved and why.
His pursuit follows five generations of biologists from Darwin and Wallace to the present day, uncovering how they have grappled with the implications of sexual selection as an eccentric, gonzo form of evolution. While most Victorian scientists found it impossible to believe female birds could select mates, Darwin was obsessed with the idea of sexual as well as natural selection.
Drawing on his own lifelong passion, Ridley eavesdrops on the elaborate displays of bird species around the world, from the complex art installations made by Bowerbirds in Australia to the bubbling calls of Curlews in the UK's declining moorlands. In a wonderful blend of nature writing and elegant exploration of recent evolutionary theory, Birds, Sex and Beauty shows not only how mate choice has shaped the natural world, including humans, but how the song and plumage of birds can be thrillingly, breathtakingly beautiful.

Šťastně i po smrti
Tegan je mrtvá. Je jí šestnáct, je mrtvá a stojí na parkovišti dost depresivního motelu Marybelle, kde strávila nejhorší víkend svého života. Na recepci potká Zeldu, roztomilou a sarkastickou dívku, která je ve skutečnosti anděl (fakt má i křídla!). Podle Zeldy je Tegan v nebi, kde každý člověk obývá přesnou kopii své nejšťastnější vzpomínky. Zelda trvá na tom, že pro Tegan je správným místem právě Marybelle – jenže při pohledu na děsivé minigolfové hřiště, odporný snídaňový bufet, rozbitou televizi a další hrůzy se tomu dá věřit jen těžko. Pokud se Zeldě nepodaří Tegan přesvědčit, hrozí oběma dívkám příšerné následky. Pokud ale bude úspěšná, možná spolu budou žít šťastně až… i po smrti. Doporučený věk 13+

Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders
Forty years after it was first published, Ted Hughes's Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders is presented in a beautifully redesigned edition with a new introduction by the nature writer Tim Dee. The sixteen poems gathered here brim and bristle with the life Hughes generates from the absolute attention he commits to whatever it is he is looking at. His knack for finding a language to animate its subject, without a trace of sentiment or nostalgia, singles out Hughes as one of the truly great poet-interpreters of the natural world. This edition gives full justice to the subtlety of the original watercolour illustrations, produced by Hughes's long-term collaborator and friend, the American artist, Leonard Baskin.

The Harder I Fight The More I Love You: A Memoir
A New York Times Bestseller · An Apple Best Book of the Month, February 2025An unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary life-one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood in 'slummy, one-horse towns'; obsessive desire; bursts of comedy; and indispensable friendships, reflecting on the way art, music, and a deep connection to nature helped her on a singular journey to become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist. Neko Case has long been revered as one of music's most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight The More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candour and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl 'raised by two dogs and a space heater' in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent. In luminous, sharp-edged prose, Case shows readers what it's like to be left alone for hours and hours as a child, to take refuge in the woods around her home, and to channel the monotony and loneliness and joy that comes from music, camaraderie, and shared experience into art. The Harder I Fight The More I Love You is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world, despite the obstacles we face.
