Dobro a zlo 21. století
Co je dobré a co zlé? Dokážeme být dobří ve špatné době? Nebo v nás zlo probouzí temnotu? A kde hledáme útěchu v těžkých časech? Marek Orko Vácha se zamýšlí nad tím, jak se chováme v krizových situacích, zda umíme pomáhat, pokud jsme postavení tváří tvář katastrofám, jak dobře se spí vůdcům, kteří vyvolávají války, nebo co může udělat každý člověk pro to, aby byl svět lepším místem pro život. V sedmi částech knihy se postupně věnuje otázkám spojeným s altruismem, vírou a jejím postavením v současném světě, poslání lékařů nebo kvalitě každodenního soužití lidí různých národností i vyznání v době, která není pro nikoho jednoduchá. Když rozebírá vlastnosti dobra a zla, konstatuje: „Zlo bere samo sebe velmi vážně. Diktátoři nejsou vtipní, nemají smysl pro sebeironii, mají svoje velké myšlenky, pro které neváhají nechat zemřít miliony lidí. To naopak dobro je jiskřivé, kreativní, roztančené, citlivé.“

‘[A] gorgeous exploration of romance … reminding us that even during life’s toughest moments, there’s laughter, too’ Red ‘A moving story of grief, hope and friendship’ Prima ‘In a novel about people rebuilding their lives there is of course some darkness, but also a huge amount of humour. I loved this book a lot’ Louise Hare, This Lovely City ‘Warm, funny and deeply moving, Luan Goldie has created an uplifting story about love, resilience and second chances’ Delia Online ‘As hilarious as it is heartbreaking. I devoured this book … I grieved, laughed and fell in love alongside Zoe’ Natalie Gregory, Mother Ghost Mango Seed ***** Zoe lost a part of herself after a heartbreaking loss and when she returns to work, everyone is tiptoeing around her and hoping she is back to her old self. But she knows she’ll never be the same carefree party girl she was before. Then she meets Cian – her disarmingly charming colleague, who’s working from home after a climbing accident left him temporarily immobile. As they spend the summer hiding from the heatwave, arguing about Studio Ghibli, and sharing moments of vulnerability, their cautious friendship grows into something deeper. But with Cian grappling with his own restless spirit, and Zoe keeping everyone at arm’s length, there are a hundred reasons for them to hit the brakes. Zoe has a choice to make – retreat into her shell and cling to the safety of what she knows, or risk it all and take a leap of faith into the unknown? Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is a story of courage and connection, and examines the messy, beautiful ways we rebuild our lives when everything feels broken. It finds the humour in the darkest moments and reminds us of the ways we find hope. ***** Praise for Luan Goldie ‘Important and remarkable’ Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry ‘Luan Goldie is one of the most important voices in contemporary British fiction … A story of resilience, family and community, it is finely wrought and unnervingly timely’ Kia Abdullah ‘Intense and powerful novel’ Platinum ‘A brilliant book written with warmth and sensitivity that I recommend most highly.

Kadesh 1286 BC
An illustrated look at Ancient Egypt and one of the earliest recorded battles that put a stop to Ramesses II''s drive into Syria.In c. 1286 BC, Ramesses II was pharaoh and commander of the Egyptian army. He led an expedition northwards from the eastern delta, through Palestine, and aimed for the city of Kadesh, which was currently in the hands of the Hittites. What Ramesses did not expect was that the Hittites'' leader, King Muwatallis, was in the city, which made his plans much harder. Meeting in battle at the Orontes River in southern Syria, it was the largest clash of chariots ever seen. The Hittites proved to be formidable opponents, managing to slice through the second division of the Egyptian army with a targeted chariot attack. In the end, the Hittites were forced to retreat but the Egyptians also failed to capture Kadesh and had to withdraw out of Syria.In this detailed volume, Egyptologist Anthony Spalinger explores the history of the Egyptians and Hittites, looking at how they fought and how Kadesh came to be considered one of the most decisive battles of the ancient world. With stunning artwork, maps, diagrams and images of carvings from multiple temples, Ancient Egypt is brought to life, showcasing one of the earliest recorded set-piece battles.

The Plunge
A globe-spanning narrative adventure about how the euphoria of cold water can transform - and even extend - your life.
'Mesmerizing. Chris Ballard does a deep dive into one of the most controversial health, fitness, and athletic crazes of our time. I still loathe cold water, but I loved this book.' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential
Lifelong athlete and Sports Illustrated writer Chris Ballard worried his days of exercise were numbered. Then he received a fateful text message about a trend taking hold around the world: submerging in freezing cold water.
It wasn't only thrill seekers or wellness gurus extolling its power. Swimmers have long known that when paired with cold, their sport delivers extraordinary rewards; now, modern research has shown that just a few minutes in cold water can deliver remarkable benefits: heightened energy and focus, reduced inflammation, and relief from depression and anxiety.
In The Plunge, Ballard travels to laboratories and swims in waters around the world, from Portsmouth to the Pacific, tracing the roots of cold water swimming in ancient practices largely lost in the modern world.
He immerses himself in the growing tribe of cold-water junkies of all ages, shapes and nationalities, from pioneers like Lynne Cox to visionaries like Ram Barkai, whose audacious dream of getting ice swimming into the Olympics edges closer to reality.
And, from cold plunging to open water swimming to ice swimming, he tests his limits in this extreme sport, eventually becoming a US national champion, his body and mind transformed along the way.
Blending history, cutting-edge science, colourful characters, and propulsive narrative storytelling, it's a rollicking, eye-opening adventure that reveals how a single act - stepping into cold water - can unlock resilience, connection, meaning and joy.

Intensely personal and incandescently brilliant, Howl and Other Poems is a core Ginsberg text, and celebrates 'Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!'
Selected Poems 1965-2005
'Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?'
One of America's best loved poets, Mary Oliver is also among nature's most brilliant and devoted observers, whose words ask us to live with our eyes open wider. This luminous selection brings together her best-known works from across her career.
'Oliver's poems are … as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring' New York Times Book Review
'Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing' Stanley Kunitz
'Just a few seemingly simple phrases perfectly express what we need to know just then, in that moment' Oprah Winfrey

A Month in the Country
J. L. Carr's beautiful portrayal of the countryside and the healing it brings, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
'One of the best books I've ever read' Richard Osman
'Unlike anything else in modern English literature' D.J. Taylor, Spectator
A damaged survivor of the First World War, Tom Birkin finds refuge in the quiet village church of Oxgodby where he is to spend the summer uncovering a huge medieval wall-painting. Immersed in the peace and beauty of the countryside and the unchanging rhythms of village life he experiences a sense of renewal and belief in the future. Now an old man, Birkin looks back on the idyllic summer of 1920, remembering a vanished place of blissful calm, untouched by change, a precious moment he has carried with him through the disappointments of the years. Adapted into a film starring Colin Firth, Natasha Richardson and Kenneth Branagh, A Month in the Country traces the slow revival of the primeval rhythms of life so cruelly disorientated by the Great War.
Wreck
Rachel (Rocky) is seemingly living her best life as the irreverent, funny beating heart of her family. Her ageing father is his unique, adorable self; daughter Willa is prone to bouts of existential angst whilst berating the fact that her mother has zero filter; husband Nick is steady, logical, sometimes infuriating.
They are messy, they are flawed, they are completely, ridiculously normal.
And like most normal people, Rocky worries about what might happen next. So when a former classmate of her son Jamie dies in a seemingly random accident, Rocky becomes obsessed.
For if accidents can happen - and they do - is it truly safe to love anyone?
Fresh, honest, laugh out loud funny and genuinely relatable, WRECK follows Rocky and her family through one rollercoaster year as they negotiate the unpredictable and beautiful messiness of life.
If you love the brilliant humour and observation of Elizabeth Strout, Norah Ephron or Katherine Heiny, you will love Catherine Newman, who reminds us what it is to be beautifully messily human!
