Čo je zazen
Šódó Harada Róši je významný japonský zenový majster línie Rinzai, ktorý pôsobí ako hlavný opát kláštora Sógen-Dži v japonskej Okajame. Vo svojej stručnej a vecnej príručke Čo je zazen ponúka detailný návod na praktikovanie zazenu – meditácie v sede, ktorá predstavuje jadro zenového buddhizmu. Nezameriava sa pri tom na teoretické princípy. Dôraz kladie predovšetkým na priamu skúsenosť a na presah zenovej praxe a jej výsledkov do každodenného života. Doplnkom a zavŕšením jeho výkladu je druhá časť textu, ktorú tvoria jeho odpovede žiakom na ich najčastejšie kladené otázky.
Publikáciu dotvára stručný životopis autora, ktorého útly text je vďaka svojim kvalitám vynikajúcim úvodom do témy zenového buddhizmu a zároveň praktickým návodom pre všetkých, ktorí hľadajú vnútorný pokoj a jasnú myseľ v chaose súčasného sveta.

O žralokovi Maťkovi, ktorý sa naučil podeliť sa
Príbeh o odvahe otvoriť sa druhým, o sile spolupráce a o tom, že podeliť sa neznamená niečo stratiť, ale naopak, získať.
Bulletproof
He was built to be bulletproof. She's the one thing that can break him.
Briar Thornton has spent months outrunning her past, but when she's drawn to the small Montana town of Bane Falls with the death of her late uncle and his estate to handle, she runs straight into a new nightmare - and a man more dangerous than the one who tried to kill her.
Roman Syxx isn't a saviour. He's a weapon - cold, precise, and programmed by the Dark Forces to destroy anything and anyone. As the lieutenant of the covert Icarus Squad, he's in Bane Falls on orders: infiltrate, eliminate, disappear. But the new girl that randomly shows up in the small town fractures his control in ways no enemy ever could.
Drawn together by their traumas, they burn through each other's defences until love feels as lethal as war. And when Briar's hidden connection to Roman's mission is exposed, both will learn that freedom always comes with a body count.
Live Through This
A crime novelist reunites with old college friends to solve a decades-old murder in a riveting novel of psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Falls to Pieces. Crime writer Gregg Dryer returns to his Pennsylvania campus for Homecoming weekend to revisit the death of his girlfriend Jess. During their freshman year, everyone assumed she took her own life when she fell from the roof of D’Amelio Hall—everyone except Gregg. After thirty years of struggling with grief, guilt, and personal demons, Gregg still has his doubts about how and why Jess really died that night. His search for answers is also a chance to reconnect with four friends from his college class. Most of them have moved on from that terrible tragedy. Not Gregg. Nor Jess’s mother, who is convinced to this day that her daughter was murdered. As Gregg’s investigation leads deeper into a past he doesn’t recognize, the trail grows darker and more dangerous with each new revelation. As a reunion among old friends becomes one of secrets and suspicions, Gregg must confront his own troubled history—and a truth with which he may not be able to live.
Active and Passive Citizens
A powerful case for why majority rule—not representation—is the defining feature of democratic politicsThe idea that democratic governance rests on active self-rule by citizens plays surprisingly little part in current theories of democracy, which instead stress the importance of representation by elected, appointed, or randomly selected bodies such as legislatures, courts, and juries. This would have astonished eighteenth-century theorists of democracy, who viewed universal suffrage and majoritarian voting as the sole criteria for democratic politics. Active and Passive Citizens defends the view of these earlier thinkers, asserting that individual agency is the very essence of democracy. In this provocative and lucidly argued book, Richard Tuck draws on the distinction made by the Abbé Sieyes, a leading political theorist of the French Revolution, between “active” citizens (the electorate) and “passive” ones (those who are represented by the institutions of the state). Tuck traces our current representative view of democracy to Sieyes and contrasts him with Rousseau, a theorist of active self-rule by the people. Tuck argues that modern theories of democracy have effectively turned us into passive citizens and calls for a renewal of a majoritarian democracy that realizes the full potential of active citizenship. Based on the prestigious Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University’s Center for Human Values, Active and Passive Citizens is edited and introduced by Stephen Macedo and includes commentary by political theorists Simone Chambers, Joshua Cohen, John Ferejohn, and Melissa Schwartzberg.

My Morandi
The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi's work.
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.
My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani's memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi's paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist's aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi's work at Magnani's villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani's personal collection of Morandi's work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.
Váš duch byl připraven, ale tělo bylo slabé...
Reformace zásadně proměnila raně novověkou Evropu, když narušila monopol římské církve a přinesla nové pojetí vztahu člověka k Bohu. Následný proces konfesionalizace dovršil rozkol západního křesťanství. Vznik konfesí a jejich vzájemné vymezování vstoupily do mnoha oblastí života včetně politiky, což v evropském měřítku vyústilo třicetiletou válkou. Kniha se zaměřuje na průběh reformace a konfesionalizace v královském městě Jihlavě v době od příchodu prvního luteránského kazatele až do prvních let po bitvě na Bílé hoře. Raně novověké město představovalo svébytné prostředí, které bylo formováno hodnotovým systémem měšťanů, sociální strukturou a činností aktérů, kteří ve městě žili, ale i těch, kteří jeho chod ovlivňovali na dálku. Autorka si kladla otázku, kdo ve městě patřil k hlavním aktérům reformačního příběhu, jak spolu vzájemně komunikovali a ve kterých oblastech zdejšího života hrála konfese podstatnou roli. Díky bohaté pramenné základně, která nabídla úřední i narativní dokumenty, rekonstruuje obraz městského církevního společenství v postupně se zneklidňujícím čase.
You’ve Changed
We live in an age obsessed with reinvention. But what does it really mean to change – and why do some transformations inspire us while others make us bristle?
New York Times journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis’s thought-provoking investigation takes us inside the lives of people who’ve changed themselves, or say they have: from political converts to a seemingly transformed murderer and a bully-turned-Buddhist. Through their stories and his own, he explores how identity, belief, and belonging shift despite the certainties we often cling to. Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists and spiritual teachers,
You’ve Changed shows how self-reinvention is more often self-discovery, and why personal change is like a team sport – revealing the compassionate truth at the heart of our deepest hopes and fears.

Project V
STEMinist mecha fantasy meets reality television in this high-stakes novel from the author of A Magical Girl Retires--a wildly imaginative tale of sibling bonds, unexpected friendship, and an existential quest to understand what it means to be human.
Robotics student Kim Wooram, runner-up at the World Gigantic Mechanics Olympiad, is a world-class pilot and engineer. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she likes working solo, preferring the company of robots to most other humans. Sought by robotics centers across the globe, she chooses to return to Korea after learning of an exciting new secret government robotic project known as V. To her disappointment, only male pilots are allowed to apply.
Desperate for a chance to make history and encouraged by her twin brother, Boram, the usual rule-following Wooram makes a risky choice. Posing as Boram, she auditions for Project V, the reality competition show whose winner will pilot the robot V--and quickly becomes one of the top contestants in both skill and popularity. Wooram attracts fans and friends like Seojin, the show's youngest female writer and ardent "Boram" stan, and Jeonghoon, the clumsy but lovable underdog. She also gains a rival in Jinyoung, the ruthless heir to a Korean corporate dynasty.
As Wooram comes tantalizingly close to achieving her goal, she begins to realize that V's arrogant AI is a ticking time bomb. With victory within reach, and her identity at stake, will Wooram destroy the robot of her dreams to save lives, or stick to the script?
Project V is a playful yet sharp meditation on some of the most pressing issues roiling modern society in Korea and across the globe: the male dominance in STEM fields, the ethics of parasocial idolatry and our addiction to social media and reality television, and the promise and peril of an AI-oriented future. Punchy and compelling, Park Seolyeon's novel is a winning exploration of ambition and creation--a quintessential novel of our present and future for mecha fans and all curious readers.

Sacred Homemaking
Transform your house into a living sanctuary with ritual, magic, and gratitude Kimberly Steele defines the home as the seat of the soul; it is our personal ecosystem, rich with spirits and elemental energies. Within this context the concept of ‘sacred homemaking’ can be defined as a constant conversation with these spirits of place. All too often we devalue our homes, viewing them in purely monetary terms, as collections of ‘things’ without consciousness or sentience. Sacred Homemaking invites us to reconsider this relationship, instead prioritising thankfulness and gratitude, to deepen our relationships with the spirits in our homes. Through the course of this book, Steele proves that by practicing gratitude, the sacred homemaker learns to communicate with such beings to bring order, balance, and serenity into the home. Sacred Homemaking takes a clear and intuitive structure, following the wheel of the year with sections divided across the four seasons. It offers examples of different offerings and rituals that can be performed to approve the sanctity of the home. Examples include cleaning rituals; hoodoo spray; alchemical kitchen work; etheric and astral pyramids; spells; divination; folding methods; astral purification; gardening advice; haunted objects; dealing with poltergeists; and much more!In the busy, materialistic world of the twenty-first century, Kimberly Steele’s methodology is a refreshing reminder to introduce mindfulness and intention into our everyday lives, starting with something as simple, yet infinitely important, as the home.
