Systémy něhy
Nepodobá se někdy lidský život mechanismu? A kolik něhy se může skrývat ve stroji?
Mladá pianistka Ada Fischerová má před sebou zářnou kariéru, jádro její existence je však vyhaslé. Když byla malá, vzal ji otec na výstavu automatů — samohybných figurín, zdánlivě nadaných vlastní vůlí, ale ve skutečnosti stále opakujících jediné naprogramované gesto. Tento zážitek na Adu silně zapůsobil — jako by spatřila memento celého svého budoucího života.
Co vlastně sleduje svou cílevědomostí? Nesnaží se jen zavděčit mrtvému otci? Jeho ztrátou se v ní cosi nenapravitelně porouchalo. Jediný dlouhodobý „milostný vztah“ udržuje se svým hudebním nástrojem a jako by se sama pomalu stávala strojem, automatem plnícím svou jedinou smutnou funkci.
Adin příběh zrcadlí osudy lidí, kteří se také oddali nejrůznějším systémům — hudbě, šachovnici, algoritmu. Jako vynálezce metronomu Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, jako skladatel a pianista Alexandr Nikolajevič Skrjabin nebo jako Adin milenec Hans.

Skorzeny - Život na hraně, 3. vydání
„Láká mne neobyčejný způsob života,“ zapsal si vídeňský student Otto Skorzeny v době, kdy jeho tvář zdobila první jizva z buršáckého souboje. Jeho přání se naplnilo. Elitního příslušníka SS, Hitlerova osobního oblíbence a specialistu na nejtajnější operace (jen namátkou: osvobození Mussoliniho, únos Horthyho syna, pokusy o zabití Josipa Broze-Tita či nasazení německých jednotek v amerických uniformách při ardenské ofenzivě) nazval velitel spojeneckých armád generál Dwight D. Eisenhower „nejnebezpečnějším mužem Evropy“.
Autor svou předchozí knihu Já, Otto Skorzeny…! obohatil o dramatické zpracování poválečného období, kdy Otto Skorzeny v různých koutech světa splétal temnou pavučinu neonacistických a protidemokratických intrik. Skorzeny se během svého života mnohokrát stal záhadami opředenou legendou. Pohled pod její povrch je strhujícím příběhem člověka, který svou nespornou odvahu a inteligenci za všech okolností, tedy za války i po ní, nabídl do služeb zla.

A Dance of Lies - Hazugságok tánca
,,Nem vagyok toronyba zárt hercegnő.
Árnyék vagyok."
Vasalie Moran egykor Illian király udvarának táncosa volt - míg egy cellában nem találta magát, egy olyan bűnért, amelyet nem követett el. Miután túlélte a börtönben töltött éveket, hirtelen ismét a király elé rendelik. Illian alkut ajánl neki: ha kémként szolgálja őt a királyi találkozón, utána szabadon engedi.
Ahogy az uralkodó parancsai egyre véresebbé és kegyetlenebbé válnak - a lány pedig kénytelen elárulni és bántani a hozzá közel állókat - rájön, hogy a szörnyeteg, akit szolgál, talán csak alattvalója egy még nagyobb szörnyetegnek...
Miközben a világ, amelyet ismert, összeomlani készül, a volt táncos kénytelen szövetséget kötni Illian testvérével és legnagyobb ellenségével, Kelet hírhedt királyával.
Ahogy a két fivér közötti viszály elhatalmasodik, és ő két tűz közé kerül, múltjának rettenetes igazsága napvilágot lát. És ha túl akarja élni ezt a kalandot, el kell döntenie, kiben bízik, kiért harcol, és mennyit hajlandó feláldozni a lelkéből.
Brittney Arena első magyarul megjelenő regénye egy lenyűgöző romantikus fantasy a szívfájdalmat követő reményről, titkokról, árulásról és szabadságvágyról.
Release Me
The searing second volume in a new series set in the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.
Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her.
Rosabelle's greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it's the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone. And there's only one person to blame. James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems.
Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn't help that Rosabelle's not much of a talker, doesn't work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Taking her side has cost James nearly everything-but keeping her alive might help save his world. If only he could convince his older brother.
Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache.
Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle's arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can't trust, and worse: he can no longer get a read on the girl. She's a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback.
At least not until James walks into a room...Volcanic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action-and a dystopian world that never stops raising the stakes: Welcome back to The New Republic.

Inner Zone
Unearths a buried history of retributive violence that unfolded inside besieged SarajevoIn asymmetrical conflicts, how should we acknowledge suffering on the side of the perpetrators of violence? How can we do so without losing sight of the harm they inflicted, and without relativizing the suffering of their victims? Inner Zone introduces a new approach to telling contentious histories of war and explores the political implications of refusing to extend recognition to those who suffer on the "wrong" side of a conflict. Bosnian Serb forces held the city of Sarajevo under siege from 1992 until 1995. Inner Zone revisits this emblematic conflict from the perspective of Bosnian Serb women who remained in the city during the siege years. As Serb civilians came to be associated with the ethno-national aggressor, these women became targets of collective punishment and retribution. The war crimes committed against them have been written out of most academic and journalistic accounts of the war, and in Sarajevo, they have become a public secret. Pluralizing the monolithic story of the siege into zones of violence, Jelena Golubovic locates an inner zone of retribution within the larger outer zone of besiegement, telling a nested history that reconfigures how we think about victimhood and complicity across both sides of a conflict. As Bosnian Serb women tell their previously untold stories through ethnographic interviews, Golubovic remains attentive to the anxious sense of exclusion that haunts them in the postwar city. While their victimization is erased from the dominant narrative of the war in Sarajevo, the Bosnian Serb ethno-nationalist elite emphasize it to claim exclusive victimhood. Inner Zone takes on the challenge of disentangling lived experiences of violence from the grip of ethno-nationalist misappropriation, arguing that a sense of misrecognition and unacknowledged injury can ultimately lead victims of the inner zone of violence to adopt ethno-nationalist narratives and goals.
Ukraine’s Move to the West
This book examines the intervention of global elite networks in the context of Ukraine’s EU-IMF deal within the overall ‘Euromaidan moment’ (late 2013–early 2014). It develops an empirically grounded investigation focused on three sets of modalities within the EU-IMF package during this time period – namely, GM agriculture (biotechnology), hydraulic fracking and an internationally enabled regime change – as proposed solutions for urgent problems confronting Ukraine. There is a particular spotlight on the intersections between corporate actors, political players, foundations and think tanks in the reproduction of particular constellations of power between Western (particularly U.S.-based) networks and Ukrainian agents and intermediaries. The complexity of social dynamics allow for multiple forms of power to operate at once in this space of international politics. This book details and analyses how the global elite network operating around Ukraine at this time produced the three unusual outcomes associated with the agreed EU-IMF policy agenda (GM agriculture, fracking and a regime change). It contributes to the analysis of how global elite networks operate and power works in international relations, and also enhances how the tumultuous politics of Ukraine in the current century are understood.The subject of this book is fairly controversial and is a high-profile current political problem. Looking at these issues through the analytical framework of social networks brings forward a welcomed investigation into agency in international studies. The attention to personal and political ties of mutual interdependence differs from more commonly used mainstream accounts of global politics that rely on ‘US versus Russia’ narratives or on corporate elites pursuing business deals. This book shows how close ties of social acquaintance and political-economic compacts prove crucial to understanding how the key issue areas evolved. This book advances the understanding of how power works in international politics, showing how it is built through different forms. It also advances the understanding of how global elite networks are formed and operate, along with specific investigation into the importance of gatekeepers, and thus explains the international political economy of Ukraine at a key moment and should prove invaluable to many academic and popular explanations.

Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers
Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand-strong military unit, recruited primarily from the Jewish population of Palestine, and the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War. Gianluca Fantoni reconstructs the military and human experience of the brigade in Italy and investigates its enduring and controversial place in memory and public debate. Formed in 1944, the JBG saw combat in the final stages of the Italian campaign, where its soldiers fought with distinction against German forces. After the war, many of its members – who often had little or no military training, and included artists, scientists, and farmers – engaged in clandestine efforts to smuggle Holocaust survivors and weapons into Palestine, laying the groundwork for the future Israeli state. Others sought retribution against Nazis and collaborators in acts that revealed both the trauma of genocide and the desire for justice. Far more than a conventional military history, Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers is both a critical study of the political uses of history and a vivid, passionate narrative that brings to life the men and women of the brigade. Accessible and engaging, this book offers readers a rare lens through which to understand the intersections of war, memory, and politics in twentieth-century Europe.

But Destiny’s fairy tale bubble bursts when Ryan says their summer romance has to give way to football season. Destiny spirals hard, retreating into the same delusional and dissociative patterns that landed her in psychiatric care as a child, but this time the breakdown culminates in a pregnancy that can’t possibly be real. Destiny’s skill as an artist is alternately a lifeline and a millstone as she struggles to resurface and reconnect with reality.
