Když narazíš
Co se stane, když se člověk odváží zastavit a položit si otázky, na které si celý život netroufal odpovědět?
Tato kniha nevznikla u psacího stolu. Vzešla z hlubokého terapeutického procesu, ze skutečných životních krizí, bolestivých pádů i vnitřních proměn. Sedm existenciálních otázek se zde stalo mapou na cestě k porozumění sobě samému, vlastním vztahům i skryté síle. Skrze autentické deníkové záznamy, imaginace a syrově upřímné rozhovory terapeuta s klientem vzniká mimořádně intimní prostor. Prostor, ve kterém nebudete jen pasivně číst cizí příběh, ale ve kterém dost možná zahlédnete sami sebe.
Je to kniha o pádech i naději.
O zranění i celistvosti.
O odvaze ztratit se – a znovu se najít.

Žoldnéři fantasie: Piráti z Karibiků
Dnes již zpola zapomenutý romanopisec Robert Louis Stevenson přivedl na scénu piráta Dlouhého Johna Silvera (a v komiksech dodnes figuruje jeho postava dvou tváří dr. Jekyll a pan Hyde). Piráti tak okupují hladinu novodobé dobrodružné literatury, ale daří se jim v i zátočinách fantastiky: skryté poklady střežené nestvůrami a bájná města v džunglích, prokleté předměty i zbraně, strašliví, bezcitní kapitáni (jako Flint).
Uplyne sto dvacet let pirátské literární slávy, než se filmaři rozhodnou Prokletím Černé perly (2003) tématu vzdát čest směsí tradičních klišé (často obracených naruby) okořeněných černým humorem a geniálním hereckým výkonem Johnnyho Deppa. Načež uplyne další čtvrtstoletí a dnes v našem sborníku můžete nahlédnout do vítězného textu na stejné vlně, kde ve strážním koši zírá do dáli elf, poklady jsou stále neměnně prokleté a lodi mají vlastní duši...

Crusader Strategy: Defending the Holy Land
A new look at the crusaders, which shows how they pursued long-term plans and clear strategic goals
Medieval states, and particularly crusader societies, often have been considered brutish and culturally isolated. It seems unlikely that they could develop “strategy” in any meaningful sense. However, the crusaders were actually highly organized in their thinking and their decision making was rarely random.
In this lively account, Steve Tibble draws on a rich array of primary sources to reassess events on the ground and patterns of behavior over time. He shows how, from aggressive castle building to implementing a series of invasions of Egypt, crusader leaders tenaciously pursued long-term plans and devoted single-minded attention to clear strategic goals. Crusader states were permanently on the brink of destruction; resources were scarce and the penalties for failure severe. Intuitive strategic thinking, Tibble argues, was a necessity, not a luxury.
Velké dějiny zemí Koruny české svazek XIX. (1968)
Dobová levice litovala, že pokus nasadit socialismu lidskou tvář skončil pod pásy tanků. Historik sice nemůže spekulovat, co by tento experiment přinesl, i tak je ovšem látka roku 1968 natolik bohatá, že vydá na celý svazek Velkých dějin zemí Koruny české.
Klíčových momentů, které příběh „osmašedesátého“ ženou vpřed, je mnoho: dva měsíce trvá odcházení Antonína Novotného z funkce prvního tajemníka, propuká Šejnova aféra, zaniká cenzura a vládnoucí strana ztrácí moc nad médii. Vzniká Akční program KSČ a krystalizují parametry nově vznikajícího politického systému, pootevírají se hranice na Západ, překotně se vyostřují československo-sovětské vztahy.
Devatenáctý svazek Velkých dějin sleduje, jak se demokratizační proces z podstatné části vymyká stranické kontrole, vedení státu bojuje za reformu na dvou frontách – doma a v socialistickém táboře – a nakonec čelí invazi, únosu do Moskvy a brutálnímu nátlaku „spojenců“. Autor hodnotí obsah tzv. moskevského protokolu a důsledky podpisu československé reprezentace. Zajímá ho však i to, jak na tyto dramatické události reagoval Západ.
Most Honorable Son
The first and only comprehensive biography of unjustly forgotten war hero Ben Kuroki, a Japanese American farm boy from Nebraska who flew fifty-eight combat missions during World War II while battling racism, injustice, and prejudice on the home front.WINNER OF THE NEBRASKA BOOK AWARD With a foreword by Naomi Ostwald Kawamura of Densho. Introduction by William Fujioka of JANM. Afterword by Jonathan Eig.Ben Kuroki was a 24-year-old Japanese American farm boy whose heritage was never a problem in remote Nebraska—until Pearl Harbor. Among the millions of Americans who flocked to military stations to enlist, Ben wanted to avenge the attack, reclaim his family honor, and prove his patriotism. But as anti-Japanese sentiment soared, Ben had to fight to be allowed to fight for America. And fight he did.As a gunner on Army Air Forces bombers, Ben flew 58 missions spanning Europe, North America, and the Pacific, including the climactic B-29 firebombing campaign against Japan that culminated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In between his harrowing combat tours, he challenged FDR’s shameful incarceration of more than a 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry in America. In the euphoric wake of America’s victory, the decorated war hero used his national platform to carry out what he called his “fifty-ninth mission,” urging his fellow Americans to do more to eliminate bigotry and racism at home.Ben’s extraordinary story is a quintessentially American one of patriotism, principle, perseverance, and courage. It’s about being in the vanguard of history, the bonding of a band of brothers united in a just cause, a timeless and unflinching account of racial bigotry, and one man’s transcendent sense of belonging—in war, in peace, abroad, and at home.
