The Poems of Sylvia Plath
'When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it.' Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poet's work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plath's first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plath's extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.
Milk Wood Memoir
Milk Wood Memoir, the fourth collection by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, opens with a handful of family recollections of Dylan Thomas, including Samantha’s grandfather’s presence in the poet’s house on the night he was shot at in March 1945. Thomas’s wartime sojourn in New Quay in West Wales from 1944 to 1945 was one of the most important creative periods in his life. Many scholars have linked the small coastal town to the imagined Llareggub (buggerall) in which Thomas set his most famous work, Under Milk Wood. New Quay’s present-day poet-resident, Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, takes up the baton of the guide who never made it into the final version of Thomas’s play, showing us around her hometown through the eyes of its inhabitants past and present. In a series of eco-elegies, she explores how the wood of Under Milk Wood is turning into a floating forest due to coastal erosion. The paths once walked by Dylan Thomas between his bungalow and the pubs of New Quay are slowly collapsing into the sea, taking with them both trees and houses. As the guide takes us along the path she points out moments and monuments, all the while relating various ‘hanes’ (pronounced ha-ness, a Welsh word for stories, gossip) relating to local characters, a sort of family lore handed down the generations. Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch takes us by the hand and shows us the joys and sadnesses, excitements and fears behind the doors of the town she believes is key to Under Milk Wood. ‘Wynne-Rhydderch’s poetry masters a variety of styles, is intelligent, sincere, and deeply human. How lucky we are to have a guide like her’ – Matthew Dickman

Peak Human
Golden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth: Ancient Greece gave us democracy and the rule of the law; out of Abbasid Baghdad came algebra and modern medicine, and the Dutch Republic furnished us with Europe's greatest artistic movements. As such, each has unique lessons to teach us about the world we live in today. But, all previous golden ages have proven finite, whether through external pressures or internal fracturing.
In Peak Human, acclaimed historian Johan Norberg examines seven of humanity's greatest civilizations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - and asks: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesn't end?
Disonance a fata morgána
Kniha Disonance a fata morgána je závěrečnou částí dlouhodobého projektu mapujícího českou literaturu 20. století, stejně jako metodologické možnosti, jimiž v současnosti disponuje literární historie. Projekt byl zahájen v roce 2010 publikací Dějiny nové moderny. Česká literatura v letech 1905–1923 a pokračoval pak dalšími díly: Lomy vertikál. Česká literatura v letech 1924–1934 (2014), Věk horizontál. Česká literatura v letech 1935–1947 (2017) a Chór a disonance. Česká literatura 1947–1963 (2022).
Aktuální svazek se věnuje období od roku 1964 do roku 1971. Titul odkazuje k specifické charakteristice periody, která je typická kontradikcemi a paradoxy. Krátké období, v němž individualistické hlasy vítězily nad režimní „chóričností“ a otevíraly výhled do velkého světa svobody, bylo přerušeno drastickými událostmi okupace v srpnu 1968 a následnou „normalizací“. Víra v nově nabývanou svobodu se ukázala na dlouhý čas jako iluze, jako fata morgána, která vyvstane na obzoru a náhle zase zmizí.
V jednotlivých kapitolách věnovaných českému i evropskému myšlení, poezii, próze, dramatu, významu překladové literatury, myšlení o literatuře, ale také roli dobového filmu či populární kultury, se autoři převážně z okruhu Centra novější české literatury Filozofické fakulty Jihočeské univerzity a pražského Ústavu české literatury a komparatistiky Filozofické fakulty UK pokoušejí záměrně metodologicky odlišným způsobem uchopit historicky různorodě založené situace. A to jak v kontextu dobových filozofických a estetických úvah a konkrétních uměleckých postupů, tak z hlediska reflexe dobové situace naplněné očekáváním, tvůrčím a myšlenkovým entuziasmem, ale také frustrací a planými iluzemi. – Vychází ve spolupráci s Filozofickou fakultou Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích.
Judikatura práva rodiny
Knižní vydání souboru zásadních aktuálních rozhodnutí českých soudů zaměřených na právo rodiny, jak konstatuje iniciátorka projektu a prezidentka Unie rodinných advokátů Daniela Kovářová, v našich krajích prakticky neexistuje – jediná dosažitelná publikace je desetiletí stará a dotýká se jen vztahů rodičů a dětí.
Publikace „Judikatura práva rodiny – čtvrtý doplněk“ navazuje na předchozí publikace ediční řady a zahrnuje části nazvané Rodičovství, otcovství a mateřství, Participační práva dětí, Výživné, Procesní otázky, Společné jmění manželů, Úprava styku, Majetkové otázky práva rodiny, Správní a trestní otázky práva rodiny. Přesahuje tedy hranice samotného oboru rodinného práva a přináší široké spektrum odpovědí.
Pět kajícných
Neoficiální agent Winter se hodlá vypořádat s dobře organizovaným zlem, kterému se daří nejen v podsvětí pochybných podniků, drogových dealerů a pasáků, ale i nebezpečně blízko našim každodenním životům. Při pátrání po zmizelé sotva patnáctileté studentce Pavle se ocitá ve spirále násilí, v prostředí, kde platí zákony mnohem tvrdší než staré dobré „zub za zub, oko za oko“. Podaří se mu Pavlu najít živou? Přežije sám proti brutální přesile? A kde leží hranice mezi spravedlností a osobní mstou?
Ať už ale Wintr lavíruje nad jakoukoli propastí, nikdy ho neopouští jeho břitký jazyk – dar i prokletí, které mu přináší převahu i komplikace v těch nejméně vhodných chvílích. 5 kajícných je neortodoxní detektivka, temná, provokativní, plná intelektuálních hříček a ledově mrazivého humoru, balancující na hraně absurdity. Od první stránky udržuje čtenáře v napětí a zároveň ho nutí přemýšlet, zda lze temnotu porazit, aniž by se jí člověk sám ušpinil.
Adresát Bohuslav Havránek
Edice obsahuje odbornou i přátelskou korespondenci adresovanou Bohuslavu Havránkovi, přednímu lingvistovi 20. století. Zahrnuje období od roku 1924 do roku 1977. Její hlavní část spadá do čtyřicátých a padesátých let 20. století z pera trojice význačných vědců: Františka Trávníčka, Vladimíra Šmilauera a Bohuslava Havránka (jim úspěšně sekunduje lexikograf Alois Získal). Jejich práce, zájmy i osudy se v listech protínají a po válce vyhrocují; tvoří zajímavou i objevnou část celé korespondence a dokumentují, někdy i bouřlivě a bojovně, vývoj české lingvistiky v soudobých měnících se politických poměrech. Druhým tematickým okruhem korespondence jsou pak listy Havránkových žáků: Miloše Dokulila, Karla Horálka, Františka Kopečného a Oldřicha Králíka; jsou zaměřeny individuálněji, a i když zachycují řadu momentů reagujících na společenské události, dotýkají se převážně vědecké práce, často v souvislosti s konzultací či prosbou o pomoc při řešení problémů osobního i profesního charakteru. Kniha vychází k 100. výročí založení Pražského lingvistického kroužku.

Weimar
From bestselling historian Katja Hoyer comes a gripping story of life during the rise and reign of Hitler through the eyes of the people of Weimar
*One of the most anticipated books of 2026 according to the Sunday Times, Financial Times and The Telegraph*
Weimar looms large in German history: a crucible of democracy and dictatorship. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe's greatest thinkers, Goethe and Schiller, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest.
Weimar shows us a town and its people on the edge of catastrophe. Drawing on a wealth of new archival research, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the men and women who lived through the new republic and Hitler's regime. We encounter a vividly drawn cast of characters, from bookbinder Carl Weirich and hotel owners Rosa and Arthur Schmidt, to Friedrich Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth. Here are fascists and socialists, artists and workers, politicians and citizens, who, as the events of history swept them up, became witnesses, perpetrators, victims and bystanders.
An unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances, Weimar takes us deep into the heart of the storm - to the town that dreamt of a better world, and woke up to tyranny.
