Bít o slam
Jeden z nejstarších žijících českých slamerů se vrací tam, kde vždy byl nejdoma: na scénu, na stránku, do slova. Člobrdan, vlastním jménem Jan Jícha, přináší sbírku, která je provokací, diagnózou i vyznáním lásky k jazyku zároveň. S břitkým humorem a ostrostí, jíž se nelze vyhnout, rozpitvává svět, v němž diktaturu pojebariátu nevystřídal řád ani rozum, nýbrž kapitán Korporán, botoxy a asociální sítě. Jícha je básník, který nesedí tiše. Stojí na jevišti a ptá se nahlas, zda má vůbec smysl bít o slam, když prostor kolem nás hlučí prázdnotou. Sbírka BÍT O SLAM je plná básní (které se čtou jako monology a hrají se jako představení), prokládaných relaxativními pauzami, jež jsou čímkoli, jen ne klidné. Od třídních schůzek přes evropské parlamentace až po zhasínající duše – Jícha nezůstává nic dlužen ani tématu, ani čtenáři, ani sobě. Tenhle muž psal, ještě než to bylo trendy, a píše dál, i když trendy dávno odešly jinam. Přijměte pozvání do světa, kde slovo ještě něco znamená – i když se o to musíte pořádně poprat.

SEDMADVACET LET TICHA A CHLAPEC, KTERÝ BEZE STOPY ZMIZEL…
Ve výkopu leží ostatky zavražděného jedenáctiletého chlapce zabalené do černého pytle. Nadporučík písecké kriminálky Bohumil „Choroš“ Charvát a jeho spolupracovník, beznohý ukrajinský uprchlík Lev Bohdanovyč Koval, vědí, že najít vraha po více než čtvrtstoletí nebude snadné. Zvlášť když na místě, kde pachatel tělo pohřbil, od té doby nezůstal kámen na kameni.
Na přelomu tisíciletí to v místním hudebním klubu Paluba a přilehlém sportovním areálu Spartaku pulzovalo životem. Stovky lidí přicházely a odcházely, aniž by po sobě zanechaly stopu. Choroš se Lvem se musí vrátit zpět do minulosti a krok za krokem vypátrat, kdo z nich mohl mít důvod zabíje
t. Každá další otázka víří bahno a každá odpověď má v sobě kus špíny. Stojí za zločinem hlídač, který po hochově zmizení utekl do Německa? Nebo snad trenér s nepřiznanou zálibou v mladých chlapcích? Pokud Choroš se Lvem neodhalí pachatele včas, pravda se možná ztratí znovu. A už navždy…

The Muqaddimah
Volume one of the classic Islamic history of the world, now available to a new generation of readers in a fully unabridged editionWritten by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah, or “Introduction,” is the earliest critical study of history. Though intended as the preface and first book of a world history, it is a wholly self-contained work, one that laid the foundations for fields of knowledge ranging from the philosophy of history to sociology and ethnography and has influenced writers such as Frank Herbert, Bruce Chatwin, and Naguib Mahfouz. A three-volume English translation by the eminent Islamicist Franz Rosenthal was first published in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series, garnering immediate international acclaim. A one-volume abridged version followed in 1969. Now the complete unabridged edition of Rosenthal’s masterful translation is available again in three beautiful volumes, reintroducing this monumental study of history to twenty-first century audiences.
Read This to Look Cool
This book won’t fix you, but imagine how cool you’ll look carrying it around…
Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been … mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she’s one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word “bespoke,” and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She’ll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).
With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures?like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald’s so she wouldn’t come off as dramatic?and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility.
Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It’s a book that says “I see you” and also “Don’t look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird.”

Breaking Free
From social media star and motivational speaker Spencer West, an inspirational guide that shows you how to be the person you were meant to be all along. You might think that the hardest mountain Spencer West had to climb was Mount Kilimanjaro, but as he tells it, the real challenge was learning to overcome the everyday mountains we all face: anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to live up to the expectations of others. Born without the use of his legs, Spencer discovered that the path he was told to follow only led to frustration and unfulfillment. With unrelenting candor and unexpected humor, Spencer shares his own experience of listening to his heart and creating a life defined by authenticity, not approval, to help you:· Dig deep and uncover who you were always meant to be· Pursue your passions fearlessly· Embrace the life that you want to live on your own termsThe road to self-discovery is certainly filled with vulnerability, but once you stop seeking permission to be yourself, you’ll find your most powerful and authentic self awaits you on the other side.
Vesmír není dominatrix
Poezie mikulovsko-brněnské básnířky Eli Hondl (nar. 1995) je světem protikladů. Její obraznost dokáže být lyrická a odkouzleně křehká, ale i naštvaně kritická a syrová. Na jedné straně tu „ze dna vraků prorůstají jako choroše / tlamy bílých běluh / písně tumorů samoty“, abychom se jen o chvíli později stali svědky mlčení i výkřiků, jež mají kořeny v hněvu stejně jako v sexu. Jednotlivými básněmi ve sbírce se pak jako jednotící linka táhne tělesnost; ta reflektuje jak tělo vlastní, tak i tělo společenské. A nakonec je tak do dvojí role postaven i jazyk samotný — prostředek, jak zúčtovat sama se sebou: „ideologický jazyk polykej pomalu / vyklovaná rána hnisá božskou / ale třetí oko máš příliš jasné“.
Labyrinthine
Every generation, the gods take their due. This time, they might take her. Princess Azhara was born cursed. Marked by ancient magic. Promised to an unholy bargain sealed in blood. When the Reaping begins, suitors will descend into the labyrinth beneath the palace—each one fighting to win her hand or die trying. She’s never had a choice. Not in the Reaping. Not in her future. Not even in the power buried beneath her skin. Until now. The golden prince arrives with charm too slick to trust and eyes that gleam with secrets. Her quiet guardian—once her only constant—has begun to keep dangerous truths from her. And as the labyrinth trials unfold, Azhara realizes the maze isn’t her only trap. It’s the men. One lies. One loves. One kills. And she’s not sure which is which. As suitors fall and secrets surface, Azhara must choose what’s worth saving—her kingdom, her heart, or herself. Labyrinthine is a seductive, myth-woven romantasy of deadly trials, cursed bloodlines, and a love born in shadows.
William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795
William Blake as Natural Philosopher, 1788-1795 takes seriously William Blake’s wish to be read as a natural philosopher, particularly in his early illuminated works, and reveals the way that poetry and visual art were for Blake an imaginative way of philosophizing. Blake’s poetry and designs reveal a consistent preoccupation with eighteenth-century natural philosophical debates concerning the properties of the physical world, the nature of the soul, and God’s relationship to the material universe. This book traces the history of these debates and examines images and ideas in Blake’s illuminated books that mark the development of the monist pantheism, which contends that every material thing is in its essence God, to the idealism of his later period, which casts the natural world as degenerate and illusory. The book argues that Blake’s philosophical thought was not as monolithic as has been previously characterized, and that pantheism is important to understanding his early works because it entails an ethics that respects the interconnected divinity of all material objects – not just humans – which in turn spurns hierarchical power structures.

Is work really all there is, or can he strike a balance with the help of these fluffy new friends--and a human who might become something more?
Yesterday
The first major account of this transformative period in the history of Great BritainBetween 1990 and 2020, the United Kingdom experienced tension between unparalleled social change and a pragmatic political culture which sought continuity, compromise and gradualism. Thatcher’s legacy was slowly digested, Blair’s ‘New Labour’ thoroughly scrutinized and the decision was made after forty-seven years to leave the European Union. The UK’s long-established major institutions—monarchy, parliament and the union between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—were sorely tested. Yesterday provides the first fully documented history of this pivotal time in Great Britain. Was the UK in decline? Brian Harrison points to Britain’s unsuccessful adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan and its relative economic decline, underfunded hospitals, sink schools, over-filled prisons and terrorism of both Irish and Islamic varieties. Yet there were successes. Harrison shows how the UK’s participatory institutions outmanoeuvred terrorism and precariously surmounted regional, intergenerational, ethnic and social-class tensions. This vibrant, creative society saw major improvements in time, place and recruitment for work, as well as growth and innovation in conservation, digitization, tourism, consumerism, sport and the arts. Some changes were revolutionary: in family life and relations between the generations, and in the ever-changing electronic media. And if religious observance was in decline, immigrants were introducing new faiths and even a revived religious fervour while attitudes to health and death were changing fast. A panoramic and wide-ranging analysis by a scholar at the height of his powers, Yesterday paints an evocative, richly textured portrait of a people who were shedding their complacency and insularity and bracing themselves to face a very different but promising future.

Wittgenstein, Human Beings and Conversation
This book brings together David Cockburn’s best work on Wittgensteinian themes relating to ‘mind’ and ‘language’. While none of these papers is well described as ‘exegetical’, most are discussions of Wittgenstein, and all are discussions of themes central to his later work and strongly influenced by it. The papers can be roughly divided between ‘the philosophy of mind’ and ‘the philosophy of language’. They are, however, united by the idea that this standard classification of topics stands in the way of clear thinking about core issues, and, closely connected with that, united by the idea that the notion of a human being must be central to any philosophical treatment of them. Cockburn’s approach is marked by the detailed attention given to the human bodily form, and his approach to language by the central place given to the idea of conversation. The discussions are enriched by incorporating some consideration of our relation to non-human creatures. The papers are linked by an insistence on the inescapably ethical dimension of any adequate discussion of these issues. While the debt to Wittgenstein is enormous, a number of the papers involve what may be significant criticisms of him.
