Ha Oroszország győz - Szcenárió
Megszoktuk, hogy végül minden jól alakul. De mi van, ha most nem így lesz? Carlo Masala különösen drámai módon mutatja be, mi forog kockán.
Egy lehetséges forgatókönyv szerint 2028 márciusában az orosz csapatok elfoglalják az észt kisvárost, Narvát és a Balti-tengeren fekvő Hiiumaa-szigetet. Megkezdődik a balti államok elleni támadás. Az a tény, hogy Európa az ukrajnai háború befejezése után nem fegyverkezett fel újra, most visszaüt. Alkalmazható-e a NATO 5-ös cikkelye? Hogyan dönt a szövetség? Kockáztatják-e a nukleáris háborút?
A katonai szakértő Carlo Masala a fikció határmezsgyéjén egyensúlyozva mutatja be, hogy Oroszország Ukrajna elleni agresszív háborúja messze több, mint egy európai konfliktus – ez a jövőbeli világrendért folyó globális hatalmi harc egyik legfontosabb csatatere, kimenetelétől függ, hogy milyen normák uralják ezentúl a nemzetközi politikát. Ez a könyv sürgető felhívás, hogy Ukrajna sorsán túl lássuk azt is, nemcsak Európa jövője a tét, hanem a nemzetközi rend stabilitása is.
„Hozzászoktunk, hogy végül valahogyan minden jóra fordul. Minden hollywoodi filmben ez történik. Ez történt 1945-ben és 1989-ben is. Persze nem azonnal, az unalmas is lenne. De a végére mégiscsak. A mostani helyzet egyértelmű: demokráciánkra, Ukrajnára, az egész Nyugatra irtózatos nyomás nehezedik. A populisták egyre sikeresebbek a választásokon, az orosz csapatok előrenyomulnak, Donald Trumpot megint elnökké választották. De a végére majd csak jóra fordulnak a dolgok, ugye? Minket azért mégsem támad meg Oroszország, a demokrácia nem roppan bele, a Nyugat megőrzi az erejét, ugye?
És mi van, ha mégsem? Mi van, ha Oroszország győz?”
Dog Star
An inviting and poignant new collection exploring our increasingly turbulent relationship with nature, from award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts'I love Michael Symmons Roberts' poetry' Jeanette Winterson'An existential wrestle between body and soul ... sure-footed' Guardian, Best New PoetryDog Star is a book of linked poems rooted in encounters with real, imagined or mythical birds, trees, fish, flowers, bacteria, chimeras – ancient connections reshaped by technological and political change and critically endangered by species and habitat loss. His poems are always attentive to glimpses of grace and presence, but always embodied and grounded. In this new book, that attention is sharper and more urgent than ever, at a time when the essential spiritual relationship between humanity and other forms of life is broken or lost. Some encounters in Dog Star are head-on, face-to-face, some are more slant, distant, missed connections. There’s an elegiac sequence for the poet’s mother with each step measured in animals, an extended riff on the world as an aquarium and our lives seen through water – creatures dead and living, met in the flesh or mediated via film or stories. This is a profound, remarkable book by one of our major poets. 'The clearest and purest voice currently sounding in British poetry' Carol Ann Duffy'An outstanding writer' Sunday Times
A Little Slice of Sky
Max lives in a tall building in a crowded city. From his window, all he can see below is the busy street with people bustling to and fro. All he can see above is a little slice of sky, but every day he gazes at it, wondering what might be out there, beyond the blue, amongst the clouds. Then, one day, a bird appears from the little slice of sky, and lands on his window ledge. The bird is looking for a friend. But not just any friend – a very special friend, to whom it can give a tiny but amazing gift. The gift is a magical seedling. Max takes great care of the little plant, and every day it grows bigger and stronger, its glossy leaves stretching up toward the little slice of sky. Soon it has grown into a mighty tree. And that’s when everything changes. Not only for Max, but for everyone in the city.
Floodlines
The new novel from the award-winning author of Guapa; and a sweeping, multi-generational saga that traces the fractured bonds between three Iraqi-British sistersIn the summer of 2014, three estranged Iraqi-British sisters are drawn back into each other’s orbits through the discovery of their late father’s lost paintings. As Mediha, Zainab, and Ishtar lay claim to his legacy—an inheritance laced with exile, betrayal, and an Iraq they no longer recognise—Zainab’s son Nizar, a war correspondent haunted by his time on the front lines, returns to the family fold. As summer bleeds into autumn and the truth about the paintings unfurls, the family is forced to confront the personal and political betrayals that tore them apart. Spanning continents and decades, Floodlines grapples with grief and memory, and charts the emotional and political aftershocks of a century of war and revolution in Iraq and beyond. Inspired by the artistic legacy of Haddad’s great uncle, the Iraqi modernist painter Jewad Selim, Floodlines explores family, queerness, and the wounds of (neo)colonialism in haunting, visceral prose. "A literary voice capable of narrating untold stories of the modern gay experience, from one of the most complicated parts of the world."—Attitude Magazine

When Bram takes him on a father-son business ski trip, Zach feels braver – his mother taught him the ways of the mountain, and the hushed whiteness will quieten Bram’s complaints, his obvious disapproval.Then on the first night, Zach sees something moving in the snow. He’s convinced there’s a monster on the mountain, but there are other dangers that await the group...

J. R. R. Tolkien
The only authorised biography, and the only one written by an author who actually met J.R.R. Tolkien, now reissued as a deluxe edition housed in a matching custom-built slipcase and featuring the original 16 pages of photographic plates illustrating the author's life. In more than 40 years since Tolkien’s death in September 1973, millions have read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and become fascinated about the very private man behind the books. Born in Bloemfontein in January 1892, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was orphaned in childhood, brought up in near-poverty and almost thwarted in adolescent romance. He served in the First World War, surviving the Battle of the Somme, where he lost some of his closest friends, and returned to academic life, achieving high repute as a scholar and university teacher, eventually becoming Merton Professor of English at Oxford. Then suddenly his life changed dramatically. One day while marking essay papers he found himself writing ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit’ – and worldwide renown awaited him. Humphrey Carpenter was given unrestricted access to all Tolkien’s papers, and interviewed his friends and family. From these sources he follows the long and painful process of creation that produced The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and offers a wealth of information about the life and work of the twentieth century’s most cherished author.

What Does it Feel Like
Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain.
As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again ? and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children ? she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it.
Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again.

Osvěta a porozumění nutnosti chránit přírodu a krajinu představují zásadní krok k odpovědnému cestování a k budoucnosti, kterou chceme společně sdílet.
