Liberal Fascisms
With an apparently contradictory and characteristically makeshift term, ‘Liberal Fascisms’, Slavoj Žižek captures the paradoxical nature of political populism.
To see this phenomenon as purely liberal and dictatorially fascistic is to expose liberalism and fascism as two sides of the same coin. The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Žižek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays.
From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascisms, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the singular: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump’s America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us – like ‘post-truth– to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of hypocrisy, self-deception and what is real that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another.
With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, these interventions are both timely and resolute. From the so-called death of truth opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth… or for an even bigger lie. And ultimately we must ask – what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder?
Liberal Fascisms is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

Právo finančného trhu, 2. vydanie
Orientovať sa v hustej spleti verejnoprávnej regulácie a regulačných orgánov na finančnom trhu je pomerne zložité. Učebnica „Právo finančného trhu“ predstavuje v súčasnosti najkomplexnejšie a najaktuálnejšie právnické dielo svojho druhu v tejto oblasti, pričom pokrýva všeobecnú aj osobitnú časť regulácie finančného trhu a tvorí tak „maják“ v regulácii finančných služieb. Systematizuje heterogénnu právnu reguláciu, prepája ekonomický pohľad na finančný trh s právnou normotvorbou a poskytuje výklad k subjektom, nástrojom a funkciám finančného trhu, metódam jeho regulácie, pričom neopomína ani výklad všeobecných ako aj osobitných regulačných princípov. V osobitnej časti obsahuje detailný výklad sektorovej regulácie poskytovania finančných služieb podľa jednotlivých sektorov finančného trhu (banky, poisťovne, kapitálový trh, platobné služby, dôchodkové sporenie, finančné sprostredkovanie, FinTech inovácie a ďalšie), európsku architektúru dohľadu (ESMA, EBA, EIOPA, SSM, SRM, AMLA) a aktuálne cezhraničné trendy a harmonizačné výzvy. Výklad v texte reflektuje na viaceré recentné komplexné regulácie EÚ, napríklad pre oblasť kryptoaktív, crowdfundingu alebo ESG. Zároveň, okrem sektorového „hard law“, zohľadňuje aj metodiku („soft law“) regulačných autorít vo vybraných oblastiach a súvisiacu národnú a európsku judikatúru. Publikáciu ocenia predovšetkým študenti právnických a ekonomických fakúlt. Keďže ide o titul presahujúci rámec tradičnej vysokoškolskej učebnice, jej adresátmi sú aj odborníci pôsobiaci vo finančných inštitúciách, u regulátorov, advokáti a právni konzultanti pôsobiaci v oblasti finančných služieb, ako aj akademickí pracovníci. Publikáciu možno považovať za základný referenčný text na nasledujúcich 5 – 10 rokov, pričom sa svojím rozsahom aj kvalitou približuje vo vybraných témach k monografickej literatúre.

Pekní vtáci
Tretia kniha aforizmov Emila Babína je iná ako dve predchádzajúce. Teraz sa v nej stretli básnik a aforista Babín a filmový režisér Martin Šulík ako výtvarník. Ide o stretnutie nanajvýš šťastné: Babínove aforizmy Šulík skvelo ilustruje a nápadito interpretuje humornou optikou. Kniha sa tým významne získala farebnosť a znásobila jej estetiku.
Autor aforizmov zažil dva režimy a založením je smoliar. Prečo? Lebo len čo si v demokracii konečne slobodne vystrel chrbát, seklo ho v krížoch. No pochopil, že dívať sa a vidieť sú dve rozdielne veci, iný uhol pohľadu. Náš svet je plný súčasníkov, ktorí sa potkýnajú aj na rovnej ceste. Všetky tie prešľapy a pády sú zdrojom aj komických situácií. Tak ako v aforizme Pekní vtáci: Väčšina poslancov má vtáčiu povahu. Do parlamentu sa prišli zazobať.
Martin Šulík svojimi obrázkami zase dokazuje, že je nielen výborný režisér, ale i výtvarník s veľkým darom humoru.
Vychádza v edícii DVAJAvJEDNOM. Dizajn a zalomenie knihy Martin Kurhajec.

Hey, Good Morning, How are you
Juno Isabella Flock is a dancer and performance artist who spends her days caring for her ailing husband, and her nights chatting to love scammers online. She's aware of the risks these men pose - she's watched a documentary about them - but she's also discovered a heady freedom in these online conversations, and the things they allow her to say.
When Juno meets Owen_Wilson223 - or, to use his real name, Benu - she senses an immediate connection between them, even though they're separated by thousands of miles. Gradually, they reveal more and more about themselves to each other: about their real selves, and about who they really want to be. And just as Juno sees through Benu's lies, he sees through hers too.
Hey, Good Morning, How Are You? is a whirlwind of a novel. It's about yearning to stay young while age marches on; it's about how to stay truthful while the internet changes everything; it's about love and desire in all their many, conflicting forms. And most of all, it's a novel about the way we are all connected, by the same constellations and the same night sky, however different our circumstances.
Koruna tak chladná a těžká
Naše životy už nikdy nebudou stejné. Nepřátelé mě obklopují ze všech stran. Moje koruna nikdy nebyla vzdálenější a smrt tak blízko. Uprostřed zrady, kterou jsme nemohli předvídat, udělám cokoli, abych našla cestu zpátky k Lorianovi – dřív než podlehne svému vzteku a zničí tento kontinent.
Spojenectví vznikají a rozpadají se, naši nepřátelé se sjednocují a Regnerovi pavouci se přiblížili víc než kdy dřív. Máme jedinou šanci, jak zabránit tomu, aby získal neomezenou moc a zotročil všechny lidi, víly i míšence ve čtyřech královstvích.
Mezitím král lidí věří, že jsem tu uvězněná, toužebně si přeju smrt a čekám, jestli mě nezachrání Lorian. Jenže Regner ještě nepochopil, že se nezastavím před ničím, abych svůj lid osvobodila. A ten, kdo by se měl bát, je on.

Girl Abroad - Londoni lány
Azért érkezett Londonba, hogy kilépjen az apja árnyékából.
Az nem szerepelt a tervei között, hogy beleszeret a lakótársaiba...
A 19 éves Abbey Bly végre maga mögött akarja hagyni rocksztár apja túlféltő szabályait.
Egy londoni tanulmányút jelenti számára a szabadulás lehetőségét,
egészen addig, míg be nem lép a szállására, és meg nem ismeri váratlan
lakótársait: egy lehengerlően vonzó rögbijátékost és egy titokzatos,
zárkózott zenészt. Viszont egy korábbi dráma miatt bevezetett szabály
szerint egyikükkel sem keveredhet viszonyba.
Két veszélyesen csábító fiú és egy magas rangú család
eltitkolt botránya, amibe a kutatómunkája kapcsán keveredik bele,
hamarosan titkok, perzselő vonzalom
és sorsfordító döntések örvényébe keverik a lányt.
Ha Abbey szerelemre, válaszokra és londoni jövőre vágyik,
el kell döntenie, mely szabályokat érdemes megszegnie,
és hogy kinek a szívét törje össze.

Shamanism
What are the origins of shamanism and what is its future? Do shamans believe in their powers? What exactly is trance? And what can we learn from indigenous healing practices?
In this enlightening book, anthropologist Manvir Singh offers a new explanation for one of the most misunderstood religious traditions. Travelling from Indonesia to the Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use and indigenous curing ceremonies, he journeys into the origins of shamanism. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realities and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism's ubiquity stems from its psychological resonance. Its core appeal is transformation: a specialist uses initiations, deprivation and non-ordinary states to seemingly become a different kind of human, one possessed with the superpowers necessary to tame life's uncertainty.
Following a fascinating cast of characters, Singh tells a larger story about the ancient and modern expressions of this timeless tradition. He argues that biomedicine can learn from shamanic practices, yet that psychedelic enthusiasts completely misrepresent history. He also shows that shamanic traditions will forever re-emerge - and that by journeying into humanity's oldest spiritual practice, we come to better understand ourselves, our history and our future.
Chasing Aliens
The US government has been investigating unidentified aerial phenomena in a secret division of the Department of Defence. A former intelligence official urged the US to disclose evidence of UFOs after saying the government possesses 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles. And what about those sightings of Tic Tac, Gimbal, Go Fast and the infamous Oumuamua?
Danny Lavelle, our charming, borderline-bewildered investigator, sets out on a road trip through America's UFO heartlands to get some answers (thankfully 41% of Americans believe aliens have made contact so he has plenty of sources to choose from). Talking to those in the know in government and the UFO scene - often the same thing - Danny follows Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, attends sky watches (sometimes falling asleep in the desert), listens to alien abductees and has coffee with Starseeds (human beings who claim to be actual aliens).
Whether he's smoking weed whilst holding dumortierite crystals to access his interdimensional past, or discussing 'space beads' with the Harvard astrophysicist who's convinced he's found evidence of alien life, Danny's journey becomes a deeper story about our unshakeable fascination with little green men - and our deepest wishes not to be alone in the universe.
The Sea Spinner
Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas.
Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile, crackling with each pulse of her simmering rage.
Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out.
The Remnant of Fire needs all his focus for his kingdom, his people, and-perhaps more than anything-his insatiable need for revenge.
When a twist of fate leads Rhya to the last place she expected-the Water Court-the novice wind weaver is forced to confront the limitations of her power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships.
For enigmatic King Soren of Llyr is as different from Penn as sparks are from the sea. The more insight he offers into the maegic that binds them together, the more confused Rhya feels-about her future as a Remnant, about her deepest desires, and about her role in the coming war.
Enemies circle close, ready to strike. And if Rhya isn't careful, she'll lose more than just her heart.
She'll lose her life.
Heart the Lover

Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a comfortable life with her husband and children, when a surprise visit brings the past crashing into the present, forcing her to confront the decisions and deceptions of her youth.
