A Natural History of the Studio
For more than three decades, South African artist William Kentridge has created a vast body of work comprising drawings and multimedia installations that have been exhibited worldwide. Here he immerses us in the artistic, intellectual and production processes of his creations, providing philosophical, autobiographical, technical and practical commentary and giving intimate insight into the studios where he has created throughout his life. A Natural History of the Studio is not only a must-read for admirers of Kentridge's work, but also a vibrant personal and philosophical exploration of the creative process and a critical look at the world and the human condition.
K bielej, 2. vydanie
Piate poetické dielo Kataríny Kucbelovej, básnická skladba s názvom k bielej vychádza v druhom vydaní. Medzitým vyšla v anglickom a macedónskom preklade a získala niekoľko literárnych ocenení: Cenu Nadácie Tatrabanky, Cenu Zlatá Vlna a Cenu Václava Buriana. Básnická skladba k bielej prechádza zasneženou krajinou ako labyrintom. Nachádzame sa v bezčasí nekončiacej sa zimy. V novej realite spochybňovanej množstvom otázok zaznamenávame čerstvé interpretácie a rôzne pokusy o adaptáciu a únik.
Tajemné stezky - Za skrytou krásou Ašska
Známý autor literatury faktu a dvojnásobný držitel prestižní literární Polanovy ceny Aleš Česal (* 1976) nás znovu zavede do nejzápadnějších končin naší vlasti. Poprvé se tam s námi vypravil na stránkách knihy Za skrytou krásou Chebska (2020). Zastavili jsme se tehdy krátce i na Ašsku. Po šesti letech se autor na Ašsko znovu vrací, aby zájemcům o historii, přírodu a koneckonců i záhady, tajemné příběhy a zajímavosti představil tento region z méně známé perspektivy.
V kapitolách věnovaným nejstarším dějinám Ašska se seznámíme s tajuplnými runami nebo kruhovými hradišti – takzvanými ringvaly. Vydáme se za šlechtickými rody, které formovaly život zdejších obyvatel i krajinu, a navštívíme jejich sídla, z nichž některá se po letech devastace opět pomalu probouzejí k životu. Neujde nám ani zajímavá historie ašských svatostánků a mnoha kostelů, kapliček a dalších drobných sakrálních památek v okolí. Zjistíme, že Ašsko je rovněž místem, kde se odehrávaly pochmurné události našich novodobých dějin. Dostane se také na svobodné zednáře, tajemné pověsti, lidovou magii a pověry. Na skok se podíváme i k německým sousedům, města, městečka a vesnice na druhé straně hranice určitě stojí za vidění. Knihu doprovází velké množství starých fotografií a pohlednic i současných snímků. Tak tedy vítejte na Ašsku, račte vstoupit.
Did I Mention I Love You? (The DIMILY Series)
When sixteen-year-old Eden Munro agrees to spend the summer with her estranged father in the beachfront city of Santa Monica, California, she has no idea what she's letting herself in for. Eden's parents are divorced and have gone their separate ways, and now her father has a brand new family. For Eden, this means she's about to meet three new step-brothers.
The eldest of the three is Tyler Bruce, a troubled teenager with a short temper and a huge ego: Eden's complete polar opposite. Eden quickly finds herself thrust into a world full of new experiences as Tyler's group of friends take her under their wing. But the more she tries to figure Tyler out, the more she finds herself falling for him.
How can Eden keep her feelings under control? And can she ever work out the truth about Tyler?

Drawn from three of his iconic commencement addresses, and beautifully designed with specially commissioned illustrations throughout, it's a rallying cry for creativity, critical thinking, and compassion in our daily lives.

From Life Itself
Pulitzer finalist Suzy Hansen chronicles the age of authoritarianism in Turkey - through an intimate portrait of its people
In the midst of a world in upheaval, Erdogan has remade Turkey in his own image. Once a shining portal that straddled East and West, Istanbul's streets now teem with nationalistic fervour, political repression and rampant corruption. And it's here, in the old Ottoman neighbourhood of Karagumruk, that Suzy Hansen goes looking for the truth about modern Turkey.
Through the lives of its inhabitants, Hansen shows how local conflicts are spiralling into regional crises, deepening the fault lines now fracturing Europe and the Middle East. A dazzling account of a nation on the frontlines of history, From Life Itself chronicles the rise of an autocrat, the resurrection of an empire - and the human stories unfolding in its shadow.
The Power and the Glory
The football World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet. It has become a global obsession: 211 nations initially entered the 2022 edition. It has been running for almost a century. Yet there has never been a comprehensive history of the World Cup that has considered not only the matches and goals, the players and coaches, the tales of scandal and genius, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, but has also placed the tournaments within a socio-political framework. The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.

Twilight in Musashino
Musashino, 1959.
A young Japanese flight attendant is found strangled on the icy banks of the river. The police suspect foul play - but the deeper they dig, the more they collide with a wall of silence.
At the centre of it all stands a foreign priest and the Guglielmo Church, a charitable Christian mission. The dead woman's connection to the church is undeniable. But what begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into something far more treacherous, entangling together narcotics, post-war relief schemes and the delicate web of international diplomacy.
As the story moves from back alleys to diplomatic sanctuaries, following the twists and turns of Detective Fujisawa's investigation, Seicho Matsumoto masterfully constructs a slow-burning procedural where truth is clear but justice is not permitted.
