Spurius: A Novel
It is a perilous time for the Roman Republic. Victory over her nemesis Hannibal in the Second Punic War and the subsequent conquest of Greece have led to widespread debauchery and mayhem on the Italian peninsula. Into the breach steps Spurius Postumius Albinus, Consul of Rome in 186 BC, who turns detective to investigate a series of crimes attributed to the cult of the wine god Bacchus that, he argues, threaten the very heart of the State. Based on events recorded by the Roman historian Livy and confirmed by a surviving bronze plaque in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, Spurius is at once an ancient political whodunit and the first major treatment of a cataclysmic event in Roman history: according to Livy, some 3,500 Romans perished in the witch hunts resulting from Spurius’ investigation. In its finely balanced examination of freedom of belief and expression, and the manipulation of truth in times of national emergency, the novel has great relevance to today’s troubled world. Kulturalis’s edition of Spurius gives the novel a striking and luxurious new treatment. Renowned Argentinian-born illustrator Jorge González’s vivid images - including full-page and double-page illustrations within the text and an arresting slipcase design - brings the graphic events of the novel to life. Based in Madrid, González previously illustrated the edition of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies published by Los Libros del Zorro Rojo and The Folio Society’s edition of Carlos Ruíz Zafón’s The Shadow of the Wind. Working hand-in-glove with González through Maria Cardelli’s IllustrationZone is award-winning hand-lettering artist Ruth Rowland who has designed album covers for Elton John, Kate Bush and Cliff Richard.
We Shall Fight Again
Follow Julian Lisiecki’s early 20th century life as he struggles for an education in Russian-controlled Poland. Julian’s story offers a rare glimpse into life during the First World War, being lost behind enemy lines during the Polish Soviet War and becoming a successful architect. The saga continues with Julian’s son, Stach, whose gripping Second World War experiences take him from fighting the Germans in France to wishing RAF bombers would liven up their ‘damned potato soup’ on Christmas Eve while shivering in Stalag VII-A. His remarkable escape across the Iberian Peninsula to become an officer in the British Army in West Africa, followed by his war against the 55th Imperial Japanese Cavalry in Burma, is a tale of resilience, courage, and lifelong friendship.

But then one day the Amau arrive in Tsedt: plastic people with luminous eyes, intent on taking young humans to the distant city of Harbor to be educated. It’s not long before Anny is flown away to a place unlike any she’s seen before.

The Power of Real Optimism
AS FEATURED IN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: 'I can feel rusty parts of my brain coming back to life' Lucy ManganOptimism isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying open and flexible-especially when it's not. In this fresh, science-backed debut, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life. Grounded, practical, and poetic in all the right ways, this book will challenge your relationship with hope, rewire how you recover from hard things, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling, psychological insight, and tangible tools-including a 33-day Real Optimism Challenge-Dr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper, more resilient way of living-one where we can stay curious in the face of fear, open in the face of grief, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us. Because real optimism doesn't deny the dark-it teaches us how to see in it.
A Place to Die For
A young couple’s dream apartment hides a deadly secret in a terrifying novel of psychological suspense by the authors of Gravewater Lake. Jordan and her fiancé, Sam, can hardly believe their luck when they are accepted into the Glendale, an exclusive Boston co-op dripping in historic turn-of-the-century splendor. Still reeling from a devastating personal loss, the couple hopes their new digs will let them heal the past and build a brighter future. But Jordan’s joy soon turns to unease. Spending long hours alone while her fiancé is at work, she starts to suspect that all is not right with the Glendale. There is the empty apartment on the ground floor that nobody wants to talk about, and the unnerving sensation that she is being watched. The haunting cries of a baby—even though there are none in the building—don’t help, either. As their relationship falters and Sam grows ever more distant, Jordan comes to a terrifying conclusion. The Glendale won’t let her go…at least, not alive.
Ninja Vs. Gokudo 12
Since before the dawn of memory, one thing has defined human history: the war between ninjas and yakuzas. This coarse and manly manga follows two members of these warring tribes who fill the gutters of modern Tokyo with blood to determine which elemental force will reign supreme! An outrageous new action series, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure meets Fist of the North Star! Shinoha is a frickin' NINJA. He can't even smile because of a dark trauma in his past that you'll find out about later. But for now, what you need to know is, he kicks ass and can kill so many guys. Kiwami, on the other hand, looks like a regular business guy, but actually he's a flipping YAKUZA. Everyone knows ninjas and yakuzas have been at war for three hundred years, so when Kiwami and Shinoha meet, it's like, fwoosh, slice, kabloop, stab stab stab... My point is, this manga has REAL ULTIMATE POWER and, if you read it? Maybe you can too.
Figura
Umělecká kreativita je základní téma, které i v odborných dějinách umění přemáhá dnešní hyperspecializaci. Chiasmatický pojem figury a figurace potom pomáhají pochopit hlubší vztahy mezi tradicí a modernou. Kniha sleduje tyto otázky nejen teoreticky, ale i v konkrétních rozborech významných uměleckých výkonů. Petr Wittlich V knize je teoreticky i historicky vytvořena propozice pro novou metodologii uměleckohistorického výkladu umění pomocí pojmů figura a figurace. Její výhodou je, že umožňuje vytvářet historicky situované syntézy formálních i obsahových složek, působících při vzniku uměleckých děl a neodděluje moderní umění od tradice, i když zdůrazňuje jeho inovační kapacitu. Petr Wittlich vybudoval nový samotný výkladový systém. Kniha Figura, tak představuje pro další generace, nejen historiků umění, návod jak nepředpojatě a zároveň poučeně vnímat umění jako takové. Jde o jedinečný přínos dějinám umění, syntézu Wittlichova celoživotního úsilí, knihu, která přetrvá věky.

Reviving James Legge's classic nineteenth-century translation, this compact and accessible edition includes an illuminating introduction that casts fresh light on this fascinating text.

Just in time for the release of the new Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 anime on Netflix! Togusa and Tsunagi are racing after a fleeing suspect when a van suddenly slams into the suspect’s car, killing the van driver instantly. As Togusa hooks into the man’s cyberbrain, he sees residual images of a group of children and a masked figure who says, “I am a warrior.” Later, an autopsy yields a shocking revelation: the driver was killed not by the collision, but by a neurotoxin derived from the venom of the African black mamba. Section 9 needs answers, so Togusa and Tsunagi get sent halfway across the world to the Sahel Special Economic Zone. What mysteries await them in the “oasis of the Sahara"?
