Where are my window songs?
Where are my Window Songs? has not a word out of place. The phrases are limpid and shimmer with sensory details so that we encounter places, creatures and the persona of the poet as though in the flesh, meaning and metaphor held in the thingness of this carefully and beautifully drawn world. The natural world, memory, how we journey through life, find form in language that is apparently simple but always holds layers and depths. The poetry here is immersive and questioning, elegant and always perspective-altering, gently powerful, and bears reading again and again. Patricia Helen Wooldridge is the winner of the 2024, Rubery Book Award for best poetry book, a twice winner of the Cinnamon Literature Award and also won the Cinnamon pamphlet award. In Where are my Window Songs? she is writing at the height of her power.

The Visitors
A lonely twelve-year-old boy spends his days “stuck” at the deserted Hollow Pines Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina with no recollection of his name, how long he’s been there, and no idea how to leave. Things never change much for the lost souls at Hollow Pines and time is strange when you’re dead. But when visitors from the living world arrive for the first time in a long while, the boy feels a spark of hope. These visitors are around his age, and they seem to understand more than others that the plantation is not just spooky or eerie - it’s a sad place where the unspeakable happened again and again. And if these kids could understand the truth about Hollow Pines, maybe they can help him uncover the dark secrets of his past and help him find a way to finally move on. But Hollow Pines doesn’t like visitors. And with a malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows and painful memories buried deep, and for good reason, the boy wonders if he’ll ever find his way home or be stuck at Hollow Pines forever.
The Perfect Circle
In the round house on Via Saterna in Milan, its Palladian square exterior nothing but a trompe-l'oeil, the sun pierces through the central skylight. Its rays pass three floors unobstructed, before reaching the circle below at the heart of the house: four fingers of water filling a little silver basin. It is here that young Lidia dies, setting an end to her clandestine love affair with the ambitious architect. It is this house that real-estate agent Irene is asked to sell, decades later, as the climate catastrophe escalates, cloaking the divided city in a permanent orange haze. As she faces this new Milan, Irene throws herself into the impossible sale, getting to know Via Saterna intimately-this space that is as unsettling as it is hostile, with the slowly emerging traces of Lidia's interrupted life. In every room of the house, the burden of a mysterious, unresolved past can be felt, remnants of a selfish and manipulative love. The Perfect Circle is a subtly disturbing page-turner, every new page adding a new layer and twist.

The New Global Universities
Reimagining higher education around the world: lessons from the creation of eight new colleges and universities in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North AmericaHigher education is perpetually in crisis, buffeted by increasing costs and a perceived lack of return on investment, campus culture that is criticized for stifling debate on controversial topics, and a growing sense that the liberal arts are outmoded and irrelevant. Some observers even put higher education on the brink of death. The New Global Universities offers a counterargument, telling the story of educational leaders who have chosen not to give up on higher education but to reimagine it. The book chronicles the development and launch of eight innovative colleges and universities in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America, describing the combination of intellectual courage, entrepreneurial audacity, and adaptive leadership needed to invent educational institutions today. The authors, both academic leaders who have been involved in launching ventures similar to the ones described, offer a unique inside perspective on these efforts. Bryan Penprase and Noah Pickus show how the founders of new colleges and universities establish distinctive brands in a sector dominated by centuries-old institutions, secure creative sources of funding, attract stellar faculty and students, and design appealing curriculums and campuses—all while managing tradeoffs and setbacks, balancing local needs and global aspirations, and wrestling with challenges to academic freedom. These new educational institutions include two universities in Asia and the Middle East built by well-established American parent institutions, others in Africa and North America that offer holistic reform from the ground up and leverage new technologies to lower costs, and still others that adapted the American liberal arts model to Asian and African contexts. Their experiences offer lessons for future founders of new universities—and for those who want to renew and rejuvenate existing ones.
The Roman World War
How the ruthless contest among Julius Caesar’s heirs ignited a global war that raged far beyond the borders of RomeThe succession of civil wars that plagued the last years of the Roman Republic has often been portrayed as a settling of scores between Roman factions—Sulla against Marius, Caesar against Pompey, Octavian against Mark Antony—with foreign campaigns serving as a backdrop to the tragic spectacle. The Roman World War recasts the struggle for Rome as a global conflict that engulfed millions of non-Romans across Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Shedding new light on the pivotal years spanning Caesar’s assassination in 44 BCE and the suicides of Mark Antony and Cleopatra in 30 BCE, Giusto Traina introduces readers to lesser-known figures such as the Cilician dynast Tarcondimotus, the king of the Moors Bogud, and the Armenian king Artawazd, men who influenced Rome’s politics and who played consequential roles in battles waged far beyond the borders of the Imperium Romanum. Traina demonstrates how the violence unleashed by Caesar’s death was a direct consequence of his expansionist plans. From Spain to Mesopotamia, peoples such as Berbers, Hispanics, Gauls, Greeks, Thracians, and Armenians were drawn into a global war in which the fate of Rome was tied to their own. A global, “connected” history that transforms our understanding of the Republic’s final years, The Roman World War demonstrates how foreign nations and peoples were not merely pawns in the Roman civil wars but active protagonists in a great power struggle that shook the ancient world for fourteen intense years.
Dějiny Saúdské Arábie, 2. vydání
Rozlehlý stát, který vyniká množstvím svého vývozu ropy a tomu odpovídajícímu postavení v regionální politice Blízkého východu i mezinárodních ekonomických vztazích, nebývá vždy chápán jako velmoc ve smyslu vojenském či geopolitickém. Aby byl respektován vojensky, musí mít na svém území strategickou leteckou základnu USA v Zahránu. Aby byl respektován geopoliticky, musí mít na svém východním pobřeží síť těžebních věží a rafinerií, kde se zpracovává kvalitní ropa a posílá se – mimo jiné – přes celý poloostrov do terminálu Janbúc al-bahr, severně od Džiddy. Aby byla Saúdská Arábie předmětem pozornosti Západu, musí aktivně vystupovat vůči svým sousedům – dalším klíčovým státům a lokálními velmocem, jako je revoluční islámský Írán (od roku 1979), vnitřně destabilizovaný Irák (od roku 2003) a kmenovými konflikty rozvrácený Jemen (zejména po roce 2011). Prestiž království v arabském (islámském) světě zajišťuje rovněž skutečnost, žepod jeho kontrolou se od let 1924–1925 nacházejí dvě nejposvátnější místa islámu – Mekka, kam se konají poutě ke svatyni Kacba, a Medína, s níž je spjato významné období působení proroka Muhammada a kde se nachází místo jeho posledního odpočinku.
Spřízněná duše
Gabe a Pippa bydlí na krásném místě s výhledem na moře, jejich vysněný domov se však pojí i s čímsi ponurým. Vysoké útesy poblíž jsou častým posledním útočištěm pro ty, kdo se rozhodli skoncovat se životem. V posledních měsících Gabe dělá, co může, aby příchozím jejich zoufalý záměr vymluvil. Jenže pak se mu to jednou nepovede. Když se Pippa dozví, že se Gabe s obětí znal, začnou se vynořovat otázky. Co se se zesnulou osobou stalo? Skočila? Někdo ji strčil? A je možné, že by Pippě Gabe, její spřízněná duše, lhal? Temná tajemství se pomalu odkrývají a na dokonalé fasádě jednoho manželství se objevují trhliny. Protože ty nejpřesvědčivější lži někdy říkáme sami sobě.

Nejdelší z cest
Co zbývá spisovateli, když ho válka vytáhne z pracovny a vynese do vzduchu, do cizí země, do naprostého „nikde“ mezi nebem a zemí, a stopne ho? Paměť. Jazyk. Zásoba neodvyprávěných příběhů. Toto je esej, v níž se Oksana Zabužko zamýšlí nad počátky dnešní rusko-ukrajinské války ve dvou časových dimenzích — třicetileté a třísetleté — a prokládá je vlastními vzpomínkami na to, jak nevyčíslitelná suma lidského snažení může změnit běh dějin.
Hry - Archimedův zákon, Bouřlivé časy, Nejhezčí tělo,jaké se kdy na tomhle světě najde
„Je tohle pěkné místo pro život?, ptá se Agáta ve hře Bouřlivé časy a nemá na mysli krajinu nebo architekturu. I já se ptám, jestli jsme si dokázali stvořit pěkné místo pro život — když tisíce lidí umírají ve snaze doplout k našim břehům, když bez přestání krvácí další a další oběti domácího násilí, když občany dělíme do první a druhé kategorie, když radši zachraňujeme banky než lidi a když umělcům běžně upíráme právo na svobodu projevu“, s těmito slovy přebíral Josep Maria Miró i Coromina (1977) španělskou výroční cenu MAX za nejlepší divadelní hru roku 2018.
Bouřlivé časy, stejně jako další dvě hry obsažené v tomto svazku, odrážejí autorovu velikou a univerzalistickou lásku k lidem a jejich příběhům. Josep Maria Miró je bezesporu jedním z celosvětově nejúspěšnějších dramatiků současného Španělska. Vedle ceny Max je držitelem nejvyššího španělského ocenění — Národní ceny za dramatickou literaturu — a jako jediný autor v historii si celkem třikrát odnesl prestižní Premi Born, kterou porota uděluje na základě četby anonymizovaných textů.
Ve svých hrách se Josep Maria věnuje palčivým otázkám současnosti, přitom ale dramatickou literaturu ani v náznaku neredukuje na mýdlové programní nebo politické kolbiště. Jeho hry jsou plné nevyřčených vět a stokrát zpochybněných odpovědí, tajemství, znepokojivých obrazů, jeho postavy bojují o sebeurčení, o právo na vlastní život. Na malém prostoru jednoho městečka, jednoho obytného bloku nebo dokonce plavecké šatny se ve skutečnosti hraje o společné příběhy nás všech.

A hatalom bűzlik.
Én pedig gondoskodom róla, hogy mindenki érezze a szagát.
Isabela Corvellan vagyok. A nemzet botrányhősnője, a miniszterelnök legrosszabb rémálma és a lázadás élő szobra. Megtanultam, hogy a provokáció az egyetlen fegyverem, amivel sebet ejthetek apám tökéletesre csiszolt látszatbirodalmán. A sorsomat már rég megírták helyettem, nekem csupán a rombolás maradt, mielőtt a rendszer végleg elnyel.
Aztán kaptam egy árnyékot, aki látja minden hazugságomat. Alerio Cruz nem kérdez, csak parancsol. Ő nem a védelmezőm, hanem a börtönőröm, aki nem pusztán megfékezni, hanem uralni akar. Én viszont nem hátrálok, inkább hergelem a benne lakozó démont.
A hűség alku tárgya, a bűn az a nyelv, amely összeköt minket egy olyan világban, ahol a végén mindenki megfizet a tetteiért. Mert ebben a játszmában a hatalomnak nincs határa, a vágynak nincs gátja, és néha épp az ellenséged kezében van a szabadságod kulcsa.
Lenora Sandell regénye a sötétségbe csábít minket. De vajon ott mi vár ránk? Boldogság vagy örök kárhozat?
A lány, akivel mindig történik valami
Vajon mit csinál egy kályhapucoló? És abból tényleg meg lehet élni? Töprengett egy kislány, amikor az apukája azzal viccelődött vele, hogy ha nem megy iskolába, akkor kályhapucoló lesz. De a kislánynak esze ágában sem volt kályhákkal meg korommal bajlódni, őt csak a betűk és a könyvek érdekelték. Nagyapja híres szegedi könyvesboltjában pedig rengeteg könyv vette körül!
Ez a kislány az a Janikovszky Éva volt, akinek a könyvei mára a legtöbb gyerekszoba polcán megtalálhatók: derűvel, humorral írt arról, hogyan (nem) értik meg egymást a gyerekek és a felnőttek.
Ennek a nem mindennapi kislánynak a különleges gyerekkorát ágyazta mesébe Majoros Nóra, amiben egyszerre van jelen a valóság és a fantázia világa.
