Soudce Ti 1: Záhada čínského zlata
LEGENDÁRNÍ SOUDCE TI ŘEŠÍ ZÁHADNOU SMRT SVÉHO PŘEDCHŮDCE… Mladý soudce Ti Žen-ťie přijíždí do sychravého přístavu Peng-laj, aby se ujal svého prvního úřadu. Namísto poklidné správy okresu ho však čeká mlhou zahalené hnízdo intrik. Jeho předchůdce Wang za záhadných okolností zemřel uprostřed zamčené pracovny, a nitky zločinu vedou až do nejvyšších pater císařské správy. S pomocí věrného seržanta Chunga a dvou napravených zbojníků Ma Žunga a Ťiao Taje musí soudce Ti vyřešit nejen smrt náčelníka a zmizení mladé nevěsty, ale také odhalit tajemství zlaté sochy, které ohrožuje stabilitu celé říše. Každý jejich krok je může stát hlavu, neboť nepřítel je mnohem blíž, než si připouštějí. Robert van Gulik v tomto chronologicky prvním románu ze slavné série historických detektivek ze staré Číny sleduje zrod legendárního soudce Ti, jehož slavné případy sahají od říčních nevěstinců až po paláce nejmocnějších představitelů impéria.

Strangers Within
A comprehensive study of the New Christian elite of Jewish origin—prominent traders, merchants, bankers and men of letters—between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuriesIn Strangers Within, Francisco Bethencourt provides the first comprehensive history of New Christians, the descendants of Jews forced to convert to Catholicism in late medieval Spain and Portugal. Bethencourt estimates that there were around 260,000 New Christians by 1500—more than half of Iberia’s urban population. The majority stayed in Iberia but a significant number moved throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, coastal Asia and the New World. They established Sephardic communities in North Africa, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, Amsterdam, Hamburg and London. Bethencourt focuses on the elite of bankers, financiers and merchants from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries and the crucial role of this group in global trade and financial services. He analyses their impact on religion (for example, Teresa de Ávila), legal and political thought (Las Casas), science (Amatus Lusitanus), philosophy (Spinoza) and literature (Enríquez Gomez). Drawing on groundbreaking research in eighteen archives and library manuscript departments in six different countries, Bethencourt argues that the liminal position in which the New Christians found themselves explains their rise, economic prowess and cultural innovation. The New Christians created the first coherent legal case against the discrimination of a minority singled out for systematic judicial inquiry. Cumulative inquisitorial prosecution, coupled with structural changes in international trade, led to their decline and disappearance as a recognizable ethnicity by the mid-eighteenth century. Strangers Within tells an epic story of persecution, resistance and the making of Iberia through the oppression of one of the most powerful minorities in world history. Packed with genealogical information about families, their intercontinental networks, their power and their suffering, it is a landmark study.
Rebel women between the wars
An inspiring group biography of thirteen intrepid women who challenged the status quo in interwar Britain. What did it mean to be a ‘rebel woman’ in the interwar years? Historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the struggles, passions and achievements of a set of fearlessly determined women who stopped at nothing to make their mark in the traditionally masculine environments of mountaineering, politics, engineering and journalism. From the motorist Claudia Parsons to the ‘star’ reporter Margaret Lane, the mountaineer Dorothy Pilley and the journalist Shiela Grant Duff, the women charted in this book challenged the status quo in all walks of life, alongside writing vivid, eye-witness accounts of their adventures. Recovering their voices across a range of texts, including novels, poems, journalism and diaries, Rebel women between the wars reveals the inch-by-inch gains these women won through courageous and sometimes controversial acts. -- .
Where the Earth Meets the Sky
Antarctica is a land of extremes: the coldest, windiest and most remote place on Earth – and now one of the most vulnerable to climate change. On isolated Ross Island – from where legendary explorers Scott and Shackleton once set out for the South Pole – conservation scientist Louise K. Blight travels south to live and work at the edge of the world. There, alongside one of the world’s great Antarctic scientists, she documents how the planet’s largest iceberg is transforming the lives of Antarctica’s penguins. Amid blizzards, endless daylight and the stark, hypnotic beauty of the ice, Louise observes the rhythms of penguin life and the small and eccentric human community that shares this inhospitable place. As days are shaped by weather, waiting and survival, Antarctica becomes both a physical and emotional testing ground, its vast silences offering space for reflection. Interwoven with stories of early explorers and modern-day Antarcticans, and enlivened by humorous and touching portraits of the penguins she studies, Where the Earth Meets the Sky is a powerful meditation on solitude, resilience and renewal – and a vivid testament to how the harshest landscape on Earth profoundly alters those who enter it.

Coast-to-Coast Empire
Following Zebulon Pike’s expeditions in the early nineteenth century, U.S. expansionists focused their gaze on the Southwest. Explorers, traders, settlers, boundary adjudicators, railway surveyors, and the U.S. Army crossed into and through New Mexico, transforming it into a battleground for competing influences determined to control the region. Previous histories have treated the Santa Fe trade, the American occupation under Colonel Stephen W. Kearny, the antebellum Indian Wars, debates over slavery, the Pacific Railway, and the Confederate invasion during the Civil War as separate events in New Mexico. In Coast-to-Coast Empire, William S. Kiser demonstrates instead that these developments were interconnected parts of a process by which the United States effected the political, economic, and ideological transformation of the region. New Mexico was an early proving ground for Manifest Destiny, the belief that U.S. possession of the entire North American continent was inevitable. Kiser shows that the federal government’s military commitment to the territory stemmed from its importance to U.S. expansion. Americans wanted California, but in order to retain possession of it and realize its full economic and geopolitical potential, they needed New Mexico as a connecting thoroughfare in their nation-building project. The use of armed force to realize this claim fundamentally altered New Mexico and the Southwest. Soldiers marched into the territory at the onset of the Mexican-American War and occupied it continuously through the 1890s, leaving an indelible imprint on the region’s social, cultural, political, judicial, and economic systems. By focusing on the activities of a standing army in a civilian setting, Kiser reshapes the history of the Southwest, underlining the role of the military not just in obtaining territory but in retaining it.
Survival at Treblinka
On August 2, 1943, prisoners at the Nazi extermination camp Treblinka, located in occupied Poland, launched an uprising against their captors, during which hundreds successfully escaped while guards killed as many in the process. In this groundbreaking work, Chad S.A. Gibbs draws upon recently discovered sources and novel research methods to fundamentally reassess Jewish resistance at Treblinka—both before and during the revolt. Using the testimonies of revolt survivors, prior escapees, those who passed through the camp, and a handful of bystander witnesses and former SS guards, Gibbs sheds new light on the events of August 2 as well as many prior acts of resistance. Critical to these new interpretations of the revolt are the actions of women prisoners, who here assume a central place in this story for the first time.
They Called It Peace
A sweeping account of how small wars shaped global order in the age of empiresImperial conquest and colonization depended on pervasive raiding, slaving, and plunder. European empires amassed global power by asserting a right to use unilateral force at their discretion. They Called It Peace is a panoramic history of how these routines of violence remapped the contours of empire and reordered the world from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. In an account spanning from Asia to the Americas, Lauren Benton shows how imperial violence redefined the very nature of war and peace. Instead of preparing lasting peace, fragile truces ensured an easy return to war. Serial conflicts and armed interventions projected a de facto state of perpetual war across the globe. Benton describes how seemingly limited war sparked atrocities, from sudden massacres to long campaigns of dispossession and extermination. She brings vividly to life a world in which warmongers portrayed themselves as peacemakers and Europeans imagined “small” violence as essential to imperial rule and global order. Holding vital lessons for us today, They Called It Peace reveals how the imperial violence of the past has made perpetual war and the threat of atrocity endemic features of the international order.
Screen People

Dve ženy, dve generácie a tajomstvo ukryté na slnkom zaliatej Kube
Kuba, 1950. Keď Esmeralda prechádzala okolo Christophera, zadržala dych, lebo sa k nemu priblížila až tak, že sa látka jej šiat musela dotknúť jeho kolena, a on svojím prstom zachytil ten jej. Trvalo to len zlomok sekundy, ich malíčky sa preplietli na tak kratučko, že si to nikto nemohol všimnúť, ale povedalo jej to všetko, čo potrebovala vedieť. Neprišiel si len pozrieť Kubu. Precestoval celú tú diaľku preto, aby videl mňa.

Jedinou indíciou ku koreňom jej starej mamy je rozpadnutý rodinný erb Diazovcov, kedysi jednej z najbohatších dynastií na Kube.
Claudia, hnaná túžbou po pravde, odlieta do horúcej Havany, kde stretáva charizmatického šéfkuchára menom Mateo. Toho s Diazovcami spája nečakané puto – jeho starý otec pre nich kedysi pracoval a Mateo, rovnako ako Claudia, zúfalo túži po odpovediach.
Nájde Claudia v príbehu prastarej mamy odvahu nasledovať vlastné srdce? Alebo ju tragický príbeh lásky donúti vrátiť sa domov?
