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.

- Děti musíme připravit na to, že je mnohem obtížnější se pornografii na internetu vyhnout než ji vyhledat.
- Vztahy s umělou inteligencí a virtuálními společníky už nejsou sci-fi a některým dětem nahrazují ty skutečné.

Alice With a Why
England, 1919. Alyce – with a Y – lives with her grandmother, the original Alice, having lost her father during the Great War. When a mysterious invitation to a tea party hits her square in the face, Alyce realises her grandmother’s strange stories of a place called Wonderland might have some truth to them after all.
But the land Alyce finds herself in feels different from the Wonderland of her grandmother’s stories – for it is trapped in its own war. The Sun King and the Queen of the Moon are fighting over a stolen hour, and soon Alyce is tasked with setting it right. With the help of the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and a Sailor Fox, Alyce will have to solve Wonderland’s problems and, eventually, find her way back home.
Enter an enchanting adventure through Wonderland, featuring stunning illustrations by Matthew Land. Starring new characters and old favourites, Alice With a Why is both a celebration of Lewis Carroll's beloved original story, and a modern masterpiece.

The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.
