Dobro a zlo 21. století
Co je dobré a co zlé? Dokážeme být dobří ve špatné době? Nebo v nás zlo probouzí temnotu? A kde hledáme útěchu v těžkých časech? Marek Orko Vácha se zamýšlí nad tím, jak se chováme v krizových situacích, zda umíme pomáhat, pokud jsme postavení tváří tvář katastrofám, jak dobře se spí vůdcům, kteří vyvolávají války, nebo co může udělat každý člověk pro to, aby byl svět lepším místem pro život. V sedmi částech knihy se postupně věnuje otázkám spojeným s altruismem, vírou a jejím postavením v současném světě, poslání lékařů nebo kvalitě každodenního soužití lidí různých národností i vyznání v době, která není pro nikoho jednoduchá. Když rozebírá vlastnosti dobra a zla, konstatuje: „Zlo bere samo sebe velmi vážně. Diktátoři nejsou vtipní, nemají smysl pro sebeironii, mají svoje velké myšlenky, pro které neváhají nechat zemřít miliony lidí. To naopak dobro je jiskřivé, kreativní, roztančené, citlivé.“

A small, vulnerable, incorrigible ball of need, Silver's acceptance of Katie cracks open something inside of her: an unravelling begins.Fresh out of college and far from home, Katie is desperate to skirt the demands of adult life - especially because, as she promised her mother, the plan was to never grow up in the first place. Luckily, she has James: self-assured, generous, and seemingly happy to make decisions for them both.When they go on holiday to James's family's seaside home, Katie's attachment to Silver grows. Silver doesn't mind that Katie can't seem to get a job, hold her own at dinner parties, or make amends with her mother. Silver, who gets to misbehave spectacularly, be childish, be gross, and still get fed, seems to have the life Katie increasingly longs for. But as their bond intensifies, Katie's other relationships reach tipping points. Soon, Katie must come to terms with what she really wants, and what she might have to risk to get it.Delicately playful and unexpectedly heartfelt, Kitten is a sensitive reckoning with the allure of helplessness and the uncertainty of becoming yourself in a world that is as disorienting as it is full of hope and connection.
