The Dream
One of the greatest football managers of our time tells the story of his illustrious career through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins. Featuring interviews with Jude Bellingham, Paolo Maldini, Luka Modric and Davide Ancelotti.
Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europe's top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Yet the accolade that truly sets him apart from his contemporaries is his track record in the Champions League. As a player, Ancelotti lifted the trophy twice; as a manager he brought Champions League glory to his teams a remarkable five times.
As he embarks on an exciting new era of his career as the manager of Brazil, Ancelotti reflects on his love of the world’s most sought-after title. The Dream is a rich football memoir that takes you inside the mind of a winner. From dreaming of the trophy as a child, to the key games, players and moments of each campaign, we build a unique sense of a great tactician at work, as well as an intimate portrait of club football’s greatest competition.

K-POP - Forradalom!
Candace Park élete gyökeresen megváltozott – gyakornokból debütálás előtt álló idollá vált, lépteit rajongók és kamerák követik. Barátjával, Jongbével ők a K-pop-világ álompárja, új lányegyüttese, a The Girls sikere garantált. Ráadásul a SAY Entertainment új vezetősége is helyes irányba tart: ahelyett, hogy beszabályozná, támogatja a lányokat. A rajongók pedig alig várják, hogy kedvenceik végre berobbanjanak.
Mi történik azonban, ha a rekordokat döntögető debütálás előkészületei közben kiderül, talán mégsem következett be az áhított változás? Ha egyszer csak felbukkan egy rivális együttes, amelynek tagjai hitelesebben képviselik azt az üzenetet, ami Candace-t K-pop-harcossá tette? Ha a hírnév egyre messzebb és messzebb sodorja nemcsak a szeretteitől, hanem önmagától is?
A közvélemény és a K-pop-ipar egyszer a világ tetejére repítette, most azonban a legmélyebb gödörbe taszítja. Mit lép Candace Park: feladja az álmát vagy forradalmat robbant ki?

38 Londres Street
The house at 38 Londres Street in Santiago, Chile, is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans.
In 38 Londres Street, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking link between the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. In so doing, he reveals an untold and astonishing tale of the legacy of unchecked criminality and the road to impunity.

Tsundoku
An ode to the quiet joy of collecting more books than we could ever possibly read - and loving them all the same...
Drawing on the evocative Japanese term tsundoku - first coined in the Meiji era to describe the growing stacks of unread books that accumulate around devoted readers - this insightful and warmly humorous book reframes what some might see as clutter or guilt as a deeply meaningful way of living.
From the tactile pleasure of flipping through pages to the quiet ritual of rearranging overflowing shelves, Tsundoku explores the psychology, culture, and poetry behind the irresistible urge to collect and cherish books. It offers meditations on the joy of choosing and buying books, the rebellion against reading lists, creative ways to organise your shelves, foolproof excuses for sneaking in yet another new title, techniques for remembering what you've read, and the guilty - but glorious - pleasure of re-reading.
Above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Unread books can be even more fascinating because they take us on wonderful journeys, and speak to us regardless, whether we open them or keep them closed. We know that books are a cure for the soul: just touching one, smelling one, or leafing through one makes us feel better immediately.
Roman Dragoun. Rockový apoštol
Kniha mapuje životní osudy Romana Dragouna od dětství v Písku přes jeho působení na brněnské rockové scéně až po uvedení do Beatové síně slávy.
Již v mládí projevoval hudební talent, navštěvoval klavírní hodiny a improvizoval, ovlivněn klasikou i rockem. V Brně se připojil v roce 1975 k amatérské Regeneraci, pak v roce 1980 vstoupil do Progres 2, kde nahradil klávesistu Karla Horkého i zpěváka Pavla Váněho; jeho skladba „Muž, který se podobá odvrácené straně měsíce“ z alba Třetí kniha džunglí získala titul Rockové písně roku 1982. V 80. letech 20. století založil s Milošem Morávkem Futurum, v roce 1989 přešel do Stromboli Michala Pavlíčka, hrál Ježíše v Jesus Christ Superstar a spolupracoval s Bárou Basikovou či Zuzanou Michnovou. Sólová alba jako Stín mý krve (1995), Slunci blíž (2000), Otlučená srdce (2009), Piano (2012), Samota (2016) či Roman Dragoun Projekt (2021) spojují rock, jazz a funk s duchovními texty Milana Prince a Dragounova otce. Biografie Roman Dragoun – Rockový apoštol je plná exkluzivních vzpomínek, archivních fotografií a dokumentů, mapuje cestu přes normalizaci, samizdat i demokracii. Odhaluje Dragouna jako věřícího katolíka s pokorou před zázrakem života, ovlivněného rodinou a touhou „čistit srdce hudbou“.
Hudební publicista Petr Gratias za aktivní spolupráce Romana Dragouna a jeho „dvorního“ textaře, básníka Milana Prince, sestavil příběh s často netypickými zápletkami. Nechte se unášet na vlnách rocku a ponořte se do četby.
Walker Evans
A major reassessment of Walker Evans that shows him as a photographer both of his time and very much ahead of it.
Walker Evans (1903-1975) is one of the great enduring figures of modern photography. His vivid images are inseparable from the history of the medium and the history of the USA. The subject matter was quintessentially American - small-town life, typical buildings, commercial signs and anonymous citizens - but Evans brought to them the curiosity and fascination of an outsider. His exacting eye defined an era while also questioning it. Pop artists and Conceptualists saw Evans as a pioneer and precursor, and his sensibility continues to inspire countless younger image makers.
Walker Evans offers a broad overview of his work and its lasting influence on generations of artists. It brings together key photographs and projects spanning his entire career - from self-portraits of the 1920s to his Polaroid experiments in the 1970s - along with books and other publications that reflect his tireless capacity for observation. Together, the works reveal a creator who not only documented the world around him but also invited viewers to question the nature of photography and the perception of reality itself.
