Mary Westmacott: A rózsa és a tiszafa
Lehet-e izgalmas egy Agatha Christie-regény tojásfejű belgák, angol vénkisasszonyok és persze gyilkosságok nélkül? A krimi királynőjének Mary Westmacott álnéven írt érzékeny lélektani regényei egyértelmű igennel felelnek a kérdésre. Az e lapokon kibontakozó, idill és tragédia közt ingadozó élettörténetek finom társadalom- és élénk karakterrajzzal egészülnek ki, elfeledtetve a hullák hiányát.
Miközben Európa a japán fegyverletételre és a II. világháború végére vár, valahol Cornwallban az élete legboldogabb napján autóbalesetet szenvedő, tolószékbe kényszerült Hugh Norreys az öngyilkosság gondolatával küzd. A közelgő választások és a konzervatív vidék képébe cseppet sem illeszkedő fausti alak, John Gabriel megjelenése ugyanakkor váratlanul felkavarja eseménytelenségre kárhoztatott életét. Vajon hogyan borítja föl ez a csúnya, szabadszájú, jövőbe látó szoknyabolond a világvégi, múltban ragadt St. Loo életét, s hogyan hozza vissza Norreys életkedvét?
Talianske tajomstvo lásky
Nechajte sa zlákať pôvabom ostrova Grado, romantickou Veronou a Benátkami, zažite dobrodružstvo na zakázanom ostrove, relaxujte pri orosenom pohári prosecca a vychutnajte si iskrenie a odhaľovanie tajomstva, ktoré malo zostať navždy ukryté.
Linda má v lifestylovom magazíne na starosti rubriku o vzťahoch, hoci jej vlastný ľúbostný život je jedna veľká katastrofa. Keď ju vyšlú do severného Talianska, aby pripravila letnú prílohu, zdá sa, že sa na ňu konečne usmialo šťastie.
Čaká ju degustácia lahodných vín a miestnych špecialít, kurz varenia s talianskym šéfkuchárom a objavovanie tajných zákutí, ktoré by zlákali čitateľov časopisu zažiť la dolce vita. Čerešničkou na torte je, že to všetko môže vyskúšať s najlepšou kamarátkou – kolegyňou Alicou.
Lindine plány však naruší šéfredaktorkino nečakané rozhodnutie. Alicu na poslednú chvíľu vystrieda Oliver Hanes – známy fotograf, ktorého ego je rovnako veľké ako jeho talent.
Medzi Lindou a Oliverom lietajú iskry od prvého momentu. Kým ona rada plánuje, on je zvyknutý improvizovať – nevedia sa zhodnúť ani na jedinej veci a idylická cesta sa mení na bojové pole.
No čaro Talianska obmäkčí aj tých najzarytejších nepriateľov a ukáže im, že od nenávisti k láske je bližšie, ako by si boli mysleli.
Dokáže Oliver prejaviť aj svoju citlivejšiu stránku, aby nestratil lásku, aká prichádza možno iba raz za život? A podarí sa Linde odhaliť záhadu, ktorú ukrývajú staré rodinné fotografie?

Trovy civilného konania v judikatúre a každodennej praxi
Trovy civilného konania v judikatúre a každodennej praxi. Normatívny výklad, judikatúra a praktické návody pre právnu prax
Publikácia Trovy civilného konania v judikatúre a každodennej praxi je uceleným a detailne zameraným dielom s cieľom upriamiť pozornosť na podstatnú a zároveň ekonomickú časť spravodlivého procesu.

Autor viditeľne využíva svoju advokátsku prax a aj pôsobenie v akademickom prostredí a prináša praktické rady a návody ku konkrétnym procesným situáciám, akými sú napríklad späťvzatie žaloby, mimoriadne urovnanie sporu počas konania, nečinnosť strán, zmena žaloby a mnohé ďalšie. Pridanú hodnotu tvoria aj ďalšie kapitoly tejto publikácie, ktoré sa zameriavajú na účelne vynaložené trovy konania, riešia osobitné problémy trov konania v spotrebiteľských a pracovnoprávnych sporoch a poskytujú praktickú metodiku pri ich vyčísľovaní a uplatňovaní.

Akcia B II
Svedectvá obetí sú vo všeobecnosti cenným historickým prameňom pre štúdium fenoménu násilného vysťahovania a perzekúcií. V Československu boli po uchopení moci komunistickou stranou vo februári 1948 tzv. „triedni nepriatelia“ tvoriaci jadro dobových mestských elít – advokáti, bankári, podnikatelia, súkromní úradníci, živnostníci a ich rodinní príslušníci – zbavení majetku, dovtedajšieho sociálneho postavenia a na generácie vylučovaní zo spoločnosti. Vo vyprázdnených bytoch ich mali nahradiť, doslova aj fyzicky, nové komunistické elity. Perzekvované rodiny boli násilne odsunuté na manuálne práce vo vzdialenom rurálnom prostredí, čím akcelerovalo úsilie moci o ich dehumanizáciu.
V pokračovaní úspešnej publikácie Akcia B sa Marianna Oravcová v 4 kapitolách zamerala práve na dokumentovanie fenoménu násilného vysťahovávania na Slovensku spojeného s núteným zaradením na manuálnu prácu, a to prostredníctvom takmer troch tuctov príbehov. Výpovede pamätníkov dopĺňajú fotografie i kópie dobových dokumentov a monografiu uzatvára bohatý menný register.
Rozsiahle úvodné časti majú široké interdisciplinárne presahy do oblastí antropológie, sociológie a psychológie. Osobné výpovede obetí napriek útržkovitosti, limitom detskej pamäti a značnému časovému odstupu potvrdzujú potenciál kombinácie oral history s údajmi z rodinných archívov a poctivým archívnym výskumom. Sú fascinujúce opismi individuálnych stratégií prežitia – súdržnosťou, spiritualitou a morálnym kódexom perzekvovaných – a drobnokresbou absurdnosti (ne)fungovania rozličných súčiastok totalitného režimu.
The Nord Stream Conspiracy
In September 2022, Scandinavian seismologists detected what seemed to be a huge undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption. These signals were caused by several devastating explosions that destroyed Nord Stream, the $20 billion pipeline carrying cheap Russian gas to Europe under the Baltic Sea. The mysterious blasts shifted global geopolitics, disrupted European economies and triggered a manhunt that strained relations within the NATO alliance.
Despite capturing the imagination of millions, the mystery of who blew up the pipeline has so far gone unsolved - was it the CIA? Was it part of the shadow war between Russia and the West? Could Putin himself have been behind it? Drawing on years of first-hand reporting and exclusive access to key players - including the saboteurs, the investigators and high-level intelligence - this deeply reported non-fiction thriller by an award-winning Wall Street Journal correspondent reveals the true story behind one of the most remarkable geopolitical mysteries of our time.

Ostrava
Fotografická kniha Ostrava je jedinečným průvodcem po zaniklých a mizejících místech Ostravy prostřednictvím převážně dosud nepublikovaných fotografií. Kniha obsahuje více než 750 fotografií – od archivních snímků zachycujících Ostravu napříč celým 20. stoletím až po autorovy fotografie pořízené během posledních patnácti let.
Publikace je rozdělena do tematických kapitol Město, Průmysl, Prodejny a podniky, Odpočinek a služby, Bydlení a Doprava. Poslední oddíl Včera a dnes přináší komparace vybraných motivů v časových proměnách. Největší pozornost je věnována industriálním stavbám, které po desetiletí utvářely charakter a identitu města. Vedle ikonických objektů zachycuje publikace také nenápadná místa každodennosti – prostory, které tvořily přirozenou součást života obyvatel a dnes již často existují pouze ve vzpomínkách.
Kniha je nejen dokumentem zanikající a zmizelé architektury a urbanismu, ale také vizuální pamětí Ostravy a svědectvím o proměnách města během 20. a na počátku 21. století.

Still in a Dream
The definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock. 'To devote a book to a set of wilfully amorphous and hazy bands, many of them long-forgotten outriders, is an act of love, commensurate with the saturated thrum of much of the music' OBSERVERTwenty years after his acclaimed postpunk best-seller, Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds tells the tale of what happened next: the underground explosion of noisepop, shoegaze, slacker rock and grunge that reverberated through the mid-Eighties into the early Nineties. Capturing the musical exhilaration of the era along with the alienation of youth during a period of ascendant conservative politics and glitzy mainstream pop, Still in a Dream celebrates a golden age of guitar reinvention, a second psychedelia of mind-blowing sounds pioneered by bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth.
In Britain, groups like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive escaped into shimmering dreamworlds while American underground rockers like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement blended apathy and urgency into thrilling noise. A propulsive and personal account from a journalist who covered this music in real time from the frontlines, Still in a Dream vividly recreates a period that was the last blast for the analogue culture of vinyl records and music papers, before the Internet changed everything.
Oveček vlku se zachtělo
Temná atmosféra severských thrillerů, záhadné vraždy a nečekaný motiv
Zkušený kriminalista Patrik se za celou svou kariéru nesetkal s tak hrozivou brutalitou: v budově určené k demolici je objevena mrtvá dospívající dívka navlečená do ovčí kůže a celý výjev završuje kresba vlka krví na zdi. Bizarnost celé situace podtrhuje rýmovaná říkanka o vlku a ovečce pod jazykem oběti. Když je o něco později nalezen zavražděný dospívající chlapec a posléze ještě žena středního věku – vždy v ovčí kůži, s nápisem na zdi a říkankou pod jazykem v ústech, je jasné, že vyšetřovatel má co do činění se sériovým vrahem. Podaří se mu dopadnout pachatele dřív, než zaútočí znovu?
Reason, Carnival and Honour
What does free speech really mean? How does our understanding of it differ around the world? Why does it divide us – and how can we find common ground?
What free speech really means is hotly contested. Is it increasingly under attack in our democracies, or is it being weaponized by the powerful? These debates don’t just happen in the news: they divide families, strain relationships. This is because, anthropologist Matei Candea shows, arguments about free speech are not just about abstract principles: they question what it means to be a good person, to have empathy and courage. They involve fears for the future and longings for the past – and they demand that you pick a side, right now!
In order to move away from the simple binaries of polarised debate, Candea shows us that we need to start counting to three. Deploying the power of thinking anthropologically, Reason, Carnival and Honour outlines three visions of free speech – Reason, or civil rational debate; Carnival, or the right to be outrageous; and Honour, the duty to stand by one’s word. Sometimes supporting each other and sometimes at odds, they entail very different understandings of what language is and does, of what it means to be free.
Building on years of research and an exploration of anthropological literature from around the globe – from tales of French cartoonists to Egyptian Bedouin women, Finnish talk-show hosts to Tibetan Buddhist monks – Reason, Carnival and Honour reveals a richer landscape of differences, to help us find new alliances and even answers to the question of what it is we’re really arguing about.

The Social Lives of Birds
'A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds. 'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)
