Pokojní v nepokoji / Light in darkness


Fotograf Timotej Križka zachytil príbehy politických väzňov zo Slovenska. Do knihy vybral svedectvá tých, ktorých pobyt vo väzení nezlomil a napriek neprávosti, ktorá bola na nich spáchaná, si zachovali vnútornú slobodu a pokoj. Ako hovorí jeden zo svedkov: Každý z nás má mať určitý životný názor a za ním stáť za každej situácie. Nie meniť svoje názory vzhľadom k tomu, aby po ekonomickej alebo spoločenskej stránke získal niečo navrch. Tak bude šťastný a spokojný. Pokojní v nepokoji/Light in darkness: Eugénia Vyskočilová, Rudolf Dobiáš, Michal Ivanko, Štefan Ružovič, Michal Vasiľ, Eugen Ján Kočiš, Ján Ďuro, Anton Srholec, Dorota Kravjanská, Jozef Tóth, Imrich Vanta, Imrich Mráz, Ján Chryzostom Korec, Františka Múziková, Ján Zeman, Jozef Mašlej, Akvinas, Ladislav Záborský, Justína, Bernard Pánči, Andrej Konc Kniha je dvojjazyčná SK/EN. *** Človek môže byť fyzicky obmedzený, ale o slobodu ducha, o to nemôže obrať človeka ani väzenie. / A man can be limited physically, but not even prison can rob a man of the freedom of the spirit. Nehanbím sa sám pred sebou. Keby som videl, aj zrkadlo by mi ukázalo, kto som. / I am not ashamed when I look at myself. If I could see, even the mirror would show me who I am. Vyšiel som von ako slepý. Nepoznal som peniaze, nič. Bol som samý vred. Boli veľké ako slepačie vajce. Celý čas som žil pod tlakom nevedomosti. Prišiel som domov a keď ma uvidela manželka, myslela si, že má halucinácie. Deti vyrástli, jedna dcérka mala dvanásť, druhá desať rokov. / When I got out I was like a blind man. I didnt know the currency, nothing. I was covered in ulcers. Ulcers as big as chicken eggs. This whole time I lived under the pressure of ignorance. I came home and when my wife saw me, she thought she was hallucinating. My children grew up, one of my daughters was twelve, the other ten. Tam som mal čas na premýšľanie. Modlil som sa za svojich nepriateľov, nikdy som nepochyboval o tom, že dobro zvíťazí. Naivita? Doteraz som na to nenašiel odpoveď. / In there I had time to think. I prayed for my enemies, I never doubted that good would triumph over evil. Naiveté? I dont have an answer yet.

Banking On It


'I surprised myself the first time I fully articulated the words "I'm starting a bank"'BANKING ON IT is the first-hand account of one woman's quest to rebuild Britain's broken banking system. After a lengthy career at the top of some of Britain's leading banks Anne Boden had become disillusioned with the status quo - the financial crash had broken trust in the whole sector but there seemed to be little appetite to make the most of emerging technologies to revolutionise customer experience. Increasingly frustrated with the inertia within the industry she decided to shake things up herself by doing something totally radical - setting up her own bank. In this awe-inspiring story Anne reveals how she broke through bureaucracy, tackled prejudice and successfully countered widespread suspicion to realise her vision for the future of consumer banking. She fulfilled that dream by founding Starling, the winner of Best British Bank at the British Bank Awards in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and in doing so has triggered a new movement that is revolutionising the entire banking industry.

The Enlightenment


The Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning, and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism, and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress. Answering the question 'what is Enlightenment?' Kant famously urged men and women above all to 'have the courage to use your own understanding'. Robertson shows how the thinkers of the Enlightenment did just that, seeking a rounded understanding of humanity in which reason was balanced with emotion and sensibility. His book goes behind the controversies about the Enlightenment to return to its original texts and to show that above all it sought to increase human happiness in this world by promoting scientific inquiry and reasoned argument. His book overturns many received opinions - for example, that enlightenment necessarily implied hostility to religion (though it did challenge the authority traditionally assumed by the Churches). It is a master-class in 'big picture' history, about one of the foundational epochs of modern times.

This Land


We live in an age of upheaval. The global crisis of Covid-19 has laid bare the deep social and economic inequalities which were the toxic legacy of austerity. These revolutionary times are an opportunity for a radical rethink of Britain as we know it, as the politically impossible suddenly becomes imaginable. And yet, the Left's last attempt to upend the established order and transform millions of lives came to a crashing halt on 12th December 2019, when Jeremy Corbyn led the Labour party to its worst electoral defeat since 1935. In This Land, Owen Jones provides an insider's honest and unflinching appraisal of a movement: how it promised to change everything, why it went so badly wrong, where this failure leaves its values and ideas, and where the Left goes next in the new world we find ourselves in. He takes us on a compelling, page-turning journey through a tumultuous decade in British politics, gaining unprecedented access to key figures across the political spectrum. It is a tale of high hopes and hubris, dysfunction and disillusionment. There is, Jones urges, no future for any progressive project that does not face up to and learn from its errors. We have the opportunity to build a fairer country and a more equal world, but if our time is to come, then we must learn from our past.

Maybe...


From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful and keenly observed cautionary tale about pushing boundaries and indulging your more mischievous, cheeky side (when nobody is looking). Three little monkeys, and their big monkey, are sat high up on their branch in the forest canopy. "Ok, monkeys! I'm off," says the big monkey. "Now remember. Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there." Mmm ... mangos! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangos. Hmm ... maybe ... maybe they could just look at the mangos? That'd be ok, right?

The Art Museum in Modern Times


The National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery and the Royal Academy all saw either radical architectural interventions or rethinks of their mission under Charles Saumarez Smith's leadership, making him uniquely qualified to explore the ways in which art museums have changed over the past century and examine where they might be headed in the future. For this book, Saumarez Smith has undertaken an odyssey to art museums across the globe. From Tate Modern in London to the Benesse House Museum on the Japanese island of Naoshima; from the Getty Center in Los Angeles to the Museum of New and Old Art, a ferry-ride from Hobart in Tasmania; from the Pompidou Centre in Paris to the West Bund Museum in Shanghai - he has visited them all, casting an acute eye on the way the experience of art is shaped by the buildings that house it and the organizing principles by which it is displayed. What has changed over the past century? Where the public once visited museums to be educated in art history, he argues, they are now more likely to be in search of a private, aesthetic experience. Museum displays that were automatically didactic, chronological and either national or Western in viewpoint are now thematic and global. While museums used to be invariably in city centres, they may now be in remote locations, destinations of cultural pilgrimage. And where architects once created neutral spaces in which to display art, they now build spectacular architectural landmarks, stamping an identity on run-down neighbourhoods and sparking regeneration through cultural tourism.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne


Set in a broken, future England, where gunfights and monsters collide, this is the exciting first title in a phenomenal fantasy teen series by the bestselling children's novelist. England has been radically changed by a series of catastrophes - large cities have disappeared and London has been replaced by a lagoon. The surviving population exists in fortified towns where they cling to traditional ways, while strangely evolved beasts prowl the wilderness beyond. Conformity is rigidly enforced and those who fall foul of the rules are persecuted: some are killed, others are driven out into the wilds. Only a few fight back - and two of these outlaws, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne, display an audacity and talent that makes them legends. "Stroud's writing is a treat; brilliantly crafted world building, taut action scenes, fabulous villains and witty dialogue. A wild ride indeed, and the first in a series." - The Observer "Another triumph. This adventure - starring a pair of charismatic anti-heroes, intensely cinematic action laced with characteristically dry wit, and a mash-up genres - crammed with gun fights, monsters and shadowy government operatives. Pitched for younger teens, but I expect discerning readers of 10 and up to devour it." - The Bookseller
