The Troublemaker
The “extraordinary life story” (Publishers Weekly) of the billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai, a leading Hong Kong democracy activist fighting for freedom of speech who became China’s most famous political prisoner. Jimmy Lai escaped mainland China when he was twelve years old, at the height of a famine that killed tens of millions. In Hong Kong, he hustled and often slept overnight on a table in a clothing factory where he did odd jobs. At twenty-one, he was running a factory. By his mid-twenties, he owned one and was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in the United States, from Polo to The Limited. His ideas about retail led him to create Giordano in 1981, and with it “fast fashion.” A restless entrepreneur, as Giordano prepared to go public, he was thinking about a dining concept that would disrupt Hong Kong’s fast-food industry. But then came Tiananmen Square democracy protest and the massacre of 1989. His reaction to the violence was to enter the media industry to push China toward more freedoms. He started a magazine, Next, to advocate for democracy in Hong Kong. Then, just two years before the city was to return to Chinese control, he founded the Apple Daily newspaper. Its mix of bold graphics, gossip, local news, and opposition to the Chinese Communist Party was an immediate hit. For more than two decades, Lai used Apple and Next as part of a personal push for democracy—in weekly columns, at rallies and marches, and, memorably, sitting in front of a tent during the 2014 Occupy Central movement. Lai took his activism abroad, traveling frequently to Washington. China reacted with fury in 2019 when he met with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A draconian new security law came into effect in Hong Kong in mid-2020, effectively making human rights advocacy and free speech a crime and censorship a fact. Lai was arrested and held without bail before being convicted on trumped-up charges. At the end of 2023, a lengthy national security trial, that could see him jailed for life, alleged “collusion with foreign forces” and printing seditious materials. China’s most famous political prisoner has been held in solitary confinement since December 2020, while his supporters and family continue the fight to have him freed. “A sympathetic and inspiring biography” (The Wall Street Journal) and “a genuinely gripping yarn” (The New York Times), The Troublemaker is his story.

Soviet Tanks at Stalingrad 1942–43
Examines and analyses how the Soviet tank forces that fought at Stalingrad were rejuvenated in the months leading up to the battle, and the role they played in this iconic campaign. The Stalingrad campaign was a major turning point of World War II. The German Sixth Army’s 22 divisions and 250,000 troops were encircled and destroyed, while the Soviet 62nd Army’s desperate defense of the city and the suffering of the starving German troops receives much justifiable attention. Here, Soviet armor expert William E. Hiestand draws attention to the less-covered element of the battle: the reborn Soviet tank and mechanized corps that delivered the death blow to Hitler’s hopes. He explains how in summer 1942, the Soviet tank forces were failing to reach their potential; despite being equipped with superb T-34 and heavily armored KV-1 tanks, the Red Army’s newly formed tank corps were unable to integrate their armored thrusts with supporting infantry and artillery, and their disjoined attacks were repeatedly shattered. By November 19, however, Soviet organization, command and control, training, and tactics had matured, allowing the Fifth Tank Army to launch the decisive penetration through the Romanian Third Army. Packed with rare archive photos and superb profiles of the tanks involved, this book shows that it was at Stalingrad that the Red Army’s armored spearhead evolved into a force that could dominate the Eastern Front.
Azraelova kniha - Bohovia a monštrá 1
Tisíce rokov vládol v Pozemi mier. Až doteraz.
Pred mnohými storočiami Dianna obetovala svoj smrteľný život, aby zachránila umierajúcu sestru. Netušila však, že na jej zúfalé prosby odpovie Kaden – bytosť temnejšia než akákoľvek nočná mora. Kaden pátra po dávno stratenej knihe, ktorá mu umožní otvoriť brány do iných svetov, vypustiť -krvilačných tvorov a ponoriť všetko do chaosu. Tieto brány kedysi zapečatil boh Samkiel, Ničiteľ svetov, ktorý sa teraz volá Liam a vedie život pustovníka. Netuší pritom, že jeden z jeho odvekých nepriateľov stále žije.
Hoci sú Dianna a Liam zaprisahanými nepriateľmi, budú musieť zabudnúť na nezhody a spojiť sily, aby zachránili nielen svoj svet, ale celý vesmír.
Vojna bohov a monštier sa blíži.

Na rok v zahraničí
Pravidlo bolo jasné: nezamilovať sa do spolubývajúceho
Keď devätnásťročná Abbey Blyová dostane príležitosť študovať rok v Londýne, je to pre ňu perfektná šanca vymaniť sa spod vplyvu milovaného, no prehnane starostlivého otca. Sloboda a nové začiatky však dostanú nečakanú podobu – jej noví spolubývajúci sú všetci chlapci. Očarujúci, vtipní, nesmierne atraktívni a hlavne zakázaní! Také je pravidlo po nepríjemnej dráme s bývalou spolubývajúcou.
Abbey nikdy nebola typ dievčaťa, ktoré porušuje pravidlá. Čoskoro však klame otcovi o svojej životnej situácii a zamiluje sa nie do jedného, ale do dvoch mužov, ktorých nemôže mať: do svojho spolubývajúceho ragbistu a zamysleného hudobníka, ktorý už má priateľku. Nehovoriac o tom, že pri školskom výskume sa zapletie do škandálu spojeného s britskou šľachtickou rodinou.
Ak existuje nejaká nádej, že Abbey nájde v Londýne lásku, odpovede alebo budúcnosť, bude sa musieť rozhodnúť, ktoré pravidlá stojí za to porušiť...

Nabízí řešení, která fungují nejen na papíře, ale i v reálném životě. Je jistou odpovědí na výzvy, které přináší demografické stárnutí společnosti, postupně se zhoršující funkční zdatnost populace a s ní spojené dopady na kvalitu života i na zdravotní a sociální systémy péče.

Tvůj mozek je tvůj osud
Vrcholná kniha životního díla MUDr. Josefa Jonáše spojuje ověřené poznatky s moderními objevy. Obsahuje jeho praktické lékařské zkušenosti z nejpodstatnějších oblastí, kterými se zabýval a mezi něž patřily psychické problémy, negativní emoce, stres a detoxikace organismu. „Vznik mozku si neuvědomujeme, ale během života ho můžeme ovlivnit a různými způsoby podporovat. V této knize nejde jen
o tělesný orgán, ale o naše vědomí, myšlení, a především o způsoby, jak je používáme a můžeme rozvíjet. Významnou pasáží je také intuice a její praktické možnosti. Lidem, kteří se věnují lidské psýché, je zřejmé, že v mozku máme dva hlavní systémy, které spolupracují, proplétají se a doplňují. Jeden se stará o to, aby naše fyzické tělo mohlo fungovat, a druhý souvisí s naším duševním životem, s inteligencí a mentalitou. Náš organismus je úžasně stvořen k tomu, aby sám sebe regeneroval a obnovoval. S věkem se tyto schopnosti zhoršují, až se kvůli nahromadění různých toxických vlivů zastaví úplně. Tato kniha ukazuje možnosti, jak pomoci mozku fyzicky i mentálně regenerovat.“
Ráadás
Régen rossz, ha egy könyvcím magyarázatra szorul. Ennél csak az rosszabb, ha nincs, aki megmagyarázza. Mivel a címet én találtam ki, ez a feladat kétségkívül rám vár.
Nos, kedves olvasó, a cím úgy született, hogy néhány felnőtteknek szóló könyvem elnyerte az Önök tetszését. Tapsot ugyan nem hallottam, de leveleik, telefonhívásaik és a könyvek fogyása alapján mégis hallani véltem.
Remélem, nem tévedtem. Így aztán az Önök biztatására kerekedett ki rövid írásaimból ez az új kötet.
Ráadást, ugye, a koncerteken az előadóművészek szoktak adni, ha elég kitartóan tapsol a közönség. Én nem állok pódiumon, csak itthon kopogok öreg írógépemen, és nagyon örülök, ha tetszik, amit írok.
Ha valakinek megy a késői busza, indul a vonata, vagy egyébként is elege volt, hát nyugodtan kászálódjék.
A ráadás azé, aki kérte, aki várja. Fogadja szeretettel.
Ájlávjú
Kötelességem figyelmeztetni a kedves olvasót, a cím félrevezető. Nem szerelmes történeteket tartalmaz a kötet. Hanem?
Az úgy van, hogy az ember időskorban már kevesebbet ügyintéz, szaladgál, nyüzsög. Inkább elgondolkozik ezen-azon, ír, írogat, így a századvégen, ezredelőn. Különösen, ha írónak hiszi magát. Aztán összegyűlik egy kötetre való. De miért jut eszébe éppen ez a cím? Mert a tévésorozatok, az angolszász nyelvterületen készült filmek jóvoltából angolul gyakran hallja. Magyarul csak szeretné hallani. De valahogy hiánycikk. Még a falfirkákon is többnyire angolul olvasható, hogy ,,I love Brigi - Karesz".
Azonkívül az angol nyelvű vallomás nemcsak egyes számban szeret, hanem többes számban is.
Akár a kedves olvasó is magára veheti. Ha akarja.
Rosszkedvet oszlató humort, szeretetből fakadó türelmet, megértést kínálok annak, aki vevő rá.
