Československo. Od Masaryka po Čaputovú
Udalosti a postavy z histórie Česka a Slovenska, ktoré si treba zapamätať
Tento knižný výber pozostáva z textov o spoločnej i paralelnej histórii Česka a Slovenska od roku 1918 po súčasnosť. Zachytáva dôležité medzníky ako vznik prvej republiky, okupáciu, normalizáciu či rozpad spoločného štátu, no i ľudské osudy – Palachovo samoupálenie, Dubčekovo váhanie, Mečiarov vzostup a pád, Ficovo opakované vládnutie aj prezidentku Čaputovú a jej premiérov.
Autorský záber Tomáša Gálisa (1976 – 2025), novinára, ktorý pôsobil v Hospodárskych novinách, v .týždni, v SME a napokon v Denníku N, bol široký. Okrem komentárov, rozhovorov či pravidelného Newsfiltra písal dlhšie i kratšie texty o histórii – o udalostiach a postavách, ktoré si treba všimnúť a zapamätať. Miloval Československo, mal rád Česko a Slovensko a prirodzene sa zaujímal o ich vývoj. Písal o celospoločenských pohyboch, o veľkých zmenách na úrovni štátnych hraníc, ale aj o premenách Dubčekovej či Biľakovej duše. Všímal si kultúrne fenomény – pamätníky i paneláky. Tomáš Gális bol nielen pozorovateľom a archivárom, ale aj presným komentátorom veľkých i malých dejín.

Rodičovstvo a úzkosť
Bojíte sa o svoje deti viac, než je zdravé? Analyzujete každé svoje rozhodnutie a v noci nespíte, lebo vám napadajú rôzne katastrofické scenáre? Nie ste v tom sami. Úzkosť sa navyše netýka len dospelých – často ju nevedome prenášame na svoje deti. Uznávaná psychologička Meredith Elkins ponúka v knihe Rodičovstvo a úzkosť citlivý, no zároveň praktický pohľad na to, ako úzkosť vzniká, ako ovplyvňuje vzťahy v rodine a najmä ako ju zvládnuť.
Autorka prepája poznatky zo svojej klinickej praxe s každodennou realitou rodičovstva a ukazuje, že snaha byť „dokonalým rodičom“ je jedným z hlavných zdrojov napätia. Čitateľom a čitateľkám pomáha identifikovať vzorce správania a ukazuje, ako upokojiť preťaženú myseľ a vytvoriť bezpečné, stabilné prostredie pre deti bez zbytočného tlaku a strachu. Táto kniha je sprievodcom pre všetkých rodičov, ktorí chcú vychovávať vedomejšie, s väčším pokojom a dôverou – v seba aj vo svoje deti.

Svadba na anglickom vidieku
Pulzujúce šesťdesiate roky v Londýne, tri nerozlučné kamarátky, čo držia spolu v dobrom aj zlom, a príťažlivý muž, ktorý si získa srdce jednej z nich, hoci sa chystá zasnúbiť s inou...
Rok 1963: Devätnásťročná Lizzie prichádza do Londýna, aby absolvovala kurz v prestížnej škole varenia u madam Wilsonovej. Jej mama si pre ňu vysnívala prepychovú svadbu so všetkým, čo k tomu patrí a manželstvo s vhodným mužom, ktorého by jej sama vybrala. Lizzie je síce poslušná dcéra, no zároveň si túži užívať život plnými dúškami.
Dá sa ostrihať nakrátko podľa poslednej módy, kúpi si minišaty a nasťahuje sa s dvoma kamarátkami do honosného, hoci značne schátraného domu v londýnskej Belgravii. Čoskoro udalosti naberú rýchly spád a medzi prípravami krabích kanapiek a lahodných krémov Lizzie celkom zabudne na mamine sobášne plány. Jediné, na čo totiž dokáže myslieť, je Hugo, ktorého pomaly, ale iste začína milovať. Má to však jeden háčik – on sa chystá zasnúbiť s dokonalou Electrou.
Lizzie stojí pred ťažkým rozhodnutím: je lepšie poslúchnuť rozum, alebo riskovať zlomené srdce?

Eli
Měl to být příběh o ztrátě, strachu a přežívání. Jenže pak potkal jeho. A najednou bylo úplně všechno o něm. O Elim.
Nathanielovi někdy připadá, že tam, kde měl mít duši, je zpustošený svět. Drogy ho berou na místa, odkud se jen těžko vrací, ale nebýt nich, musel by si znovu prožít každou špatnou zkušenost. Táta ho opustil. Máma zemřela. A pak šlo všechno hodně rychle do háje.
Elkan nežije, poslední roky spíš přežívá. Většinu nocí tráví v pokoji a hraje na playstationu jednu hru za druhou. Nemůže spát, protože spánek s sebou nese noční můry, které ho rvou na kusy.
V tom, že se Nathaniel a Elkan po letech znovu potkali, je jistá osudovost. Můžou si navzájem pomoct a vytáhnout se ze dna, nebo se společně propadnout ještě hlouběji. Dokážou tihle dva kluci přepsat svůj příběh a proměnit ho v nový začátek?

GFI 30: priestory & miesta
Kniha mapuje tridsať rokov fungovania architektonického ateliéru GFI – jednej z najvýraznejších a najproduktívnejších architektonických kancelárií na Slovensku. Príbeh ateliéru, ktorý vyrástol z priateľstva, spoločných školských rokov a potreby robiť architektúru poctivo, sleduje cestu od improvizovaných začiatkov až po rozsiahle mestské projekty, ktoré dnes výrazne formujú podobu Bratislavy aj ďalších miest.
Publikácia predstavuje výber tridsiatich projektov, prostredníctvom ktorých odhaľuje nielen výslednú architektúru, ale aj spôsob uvažovania, proces hľadania a premýšľania nad mestom, priestorom a jeho budúcim fungovaním. Zachytáva vývoj ateliéru v čase – od prvých realizácií až po veľké mestské celky, ktoré vznikali v spolupráci s domácimi aj zahraničnými partnermi.
GFI sa za tri desaťročia podieľalo na viacerých ikonických stavbách súčasného Slovenska. Navrhlo veľkú časť bratislavského Downtownu vrátane prvého slovenského mrakodrapu Eurovea Tower. Medzi významné bratislavské realizácie patrí napr. aj rozšírenie nákupného centra Eurovea, polyfunkčný komplex Klingerka, administratívne budovy na Pribinovej 40 a Landererovej 12, objekt Panorama Business II či polyfunkčný súbor Downtown Yards. Takisto stoja za obnovou Kaštieľa Pálffy vo Svätom Jure a rekonštrukciou tatranských hotelov ako je Sliezsky dom pod Velickým plesom či rekonštrukcia Hotela Lomnica v Tatranskej Lomnici.
Kniha je obrazom práce, skúseností a premien architektonickej profesie počas posledných tridsiatich rokov. Je zároveň svedectvom o tom, že architektúra nevzniká iba z veľkých vízií, ale aj z tisícov rozhodnutí, čiar a hľadaní správnych riešení, ktoré napokon vytvárajú skutočné miesta pre život.

Thinking Through Shakespeare
How Shakespeare’s exploration of central human questions—about identity, politics, religion and right and wrong—explains his lasting power, popularity and relevanceIn the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson famously argued that Shakespeare is enduringly popular because he “is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.” Johnson’s view largely prevailed until the late twentieth century, when it was challenged by a growing scepticism about the existence of a general human nature. In Thinking Through Shakespeare, eminent literary critic David Womersley pushes back against this change by exploring how Shakespeare’s plays think through—and invite us to think through—deep human questions of lasting importance. Thinking Through Shakespeare explores four perennial human problems: personal identity, the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the relation between political power and religious authority and the tension between means and ends. It examines the history of these problems, from antiquity to today, and traces how Shakespeare engages with them in the great tragedies—Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear—but also in his other plays. Without arguing that human nature is universal or unchanging, or that Shakespeare has some special access to timeless wisdom, the book makes the case that his drama is powerful because it serves as a forensic tool, probing rival perspectives on questions that have preoccupied many people in many societies over many centuries. By revealing in new ways how Shakespeare’s plays are animated and driven by central human problems, and why he should again be viewed as the great poet of human nature, Thinking Through Shakespeare opens up a richer understanding and appreciation of his work.
Spud: The Reunion
It is 2003 – ten years since ‘Spud’ Milton’s class of 93 finished school. Despite their unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight have lost touch. An invitation to their ten-year reunion weekend at the school triggers an unsettling tumult of emotions for Spud. He’s sure he won’t go, hardened by the prospect of revealing a decade of spectacular non-achievement to his former, privileged classmates. At twenty-eight, Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis: his glittering theatre career has stalled before it’s even begun, he still doesn’t have a girlfriend, and circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother, Wombat, whose walks never end where they begin. But powerful machinations are already at work. A bombardment of messages and darkly threatening phone calls from unknown numbers sees his resistance begin to crumble and his curiosity piqued. It’s just a weekend, after all . . . what else could possibly go wron? he Crazy Eight are back. From John van de Ruit, Spud: The Reunion is a riotous trip down memory lane ten years in the making. Featuring all the signature wit and "catastrophic nostalgia" of the original series, this is the hilarious, adult chapter Spud’s fans have been waiting for.
Inventing the Renaissance
The Renaissance is one of the most studied and celebrated eras of history. Spanning the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of modernity, it has come to symbolise the transformative rebirth of knowledge, art, culture and political thought in Europe. And for the last two hundred years, historians have struggled to describe what makes this famous golden age unique. In Inventing the Renaissance, acclaimed historian Ada Palmer provides a fresh perspective on what makes this epoch so captivating. Her witty and irreverent journey through the fantasies historians have constructed about the period show how its legend derives more from later centuries’ mythmaking than from the often grim reality of the period itself. She examines its defining figures and movements: the enduring legacy of Niccolo Machiavelli, the rediscovery of the classics, the rise of the Medici and fall of the Borgias, the astonishing artistic achievements of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Cellini, the impact of the Inquisition and the expansion of secular Humanism. Palmer also explores the ties between culture and money: books, for example, could cost as much as grand houses, so the period’s innovative thinkers could only thrive with the help of the super-rich. She offers fifteen provocative and entertaining character portraits of Renaissance men and women, some famous, some obscure, whose intersecting lives show how the real Renaissance was more unexpected, more international and, above all, more desperate than its golden reputation suggests. Drawing on her popular blogs and writing with her characteristic energy and wit, Palmer presents the Renaissance as we have never seen it before. Colloquial, funny and brilliant, you would never expect a work of deep scholarship to make you alternately laugh and cry.
Mr Darwin's Tortoise
A perfect introduction to the world’s greatest evolutionary biologist for all young explorers in a charming, fictional story illustrated in full colour, about an inquisitive boy who meets Charles Darwin and discovers a shared sense of wonder for the natural world. Antonio lives in the Galápagos Islands and wants to know everything about everything – he never stops asking questions! One day he meets a stranger called Mr Darwin who also asks a lot of questions. Antonio shows him the wildlife around the island, including the cactus trees and lizards and the tortoise eggs which have yet to hatch. In return Mr Darwin shows Antonio all the things he has collected on his travels, like his beetle collection. When the tortoises hatch, Antonio gives one to Mr Darwin as a present, so that he always remembers his visit to the Islands and his young friend.
Roman Britain and Celtic Ireland in Greek and Roman Sources (AD 60–500)
Dr Raoul McLaughlin presents ancient sources for the Atlantic Celts, providing new, annotated translations of Roman texts. These describe contact and conflict between Rome and the Celtic peoples of Britain and Ireland. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Celtic peoples of northern Europe, or the military and economic development of the Roman frontiers. Roman forces conquered southern Britain in AD 43, establishing a seaboard province facing Gaul and the militarised Rhine frontier. But external threats and mass revolts revealed how easily this condensed province could be eradicated by warfare. Further expansion followed, but the Roman Empire struggled to locate and establish secure northern and western limits to Britannia. Despite large-scale military and political efforts, the Romans never conquered or fully subjugated the Celtic territories on the Atlantic edge of EuropeThis book contains ancient sources ranging from AD 60 and the Boudiccan Revolt, to the disintegration of imperial rule in the AD 400s. Chapters cover ancient Ireland, the Flavian expansion of Roman Britain, the planned Irish conquest and the first Caledonian campaign (AD 77-83). Further ancient evidence reveals the withdrawal and consolidation of imperial frontiers behind barriers such as Hadrian’s Wall, while later texts outline the threat posed by the Picts and ancient Irish. The final chapters cover the Germanic migrations that led to the collapse of Roman Britain and the ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons.
