The Make-Believe


From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality. In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed. Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge. From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined. Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.

The Romans


The definitive history of Rome and its citizens. Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall. The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals, and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.

The personal development book for people who don't have time for personal development. Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.

In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to: Embrace failure as the first step, not the last. Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free. Strategically tread water when overwhelmed. Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through. This book isn't for the superhuman few; it's for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can't seem to make progress. It's time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick - without the guilt.

William Kentridge - Milestones: At the Heart of Creation


A new title of Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest living artists. Skira's new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today's greatest living artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional living artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist's biography. The iconography of the book includes images and plates of the key works explained by the artists themselves and an original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers, as well as a "family album" with previously unpublished shots and personal photos. Born in Johannesburg in 1955, William Kentridge is internationally renowned for the expressionism of his work in numerous media (charcoal, printmaking, sculpture and film), as well as his acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. As elusive as it is allusive, Kentridge's art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature and history.

Filozofie důkazního práva


Lze pravděpodobnost skutkového stavu matematicky vyjádřit? Jaké jsou principy skutkové argumentace a zdůvodňování důkazů? A jakou roli v tom hraje právo na spravedlivý proces? Monografie je volným pokračováním autorova knižního debutu Hledání pravdy v civilním procesu (Wolters Kluwer, 2020). Tentokrát se soustředí na otázku, co je správné důkazní právo. Na právněfilozofická pojednání navazují kapitoly o skutkové argumentaci, principech odůvodňování skutkových zjištění a o ústavněprávním rozměru dokazování. Autor s podporou bohaté zahraniční literatury ukazuje, že dokazování lze primárně vnímat jako epistemologický fenomén, který zákon až sekundárně reflektuje. Výsledkem je nová teorie správnosti důkazu, která originálně začleňuje teorie pravděpodobnosti do zjišťování skutkového stavu. „Kniha Viktora Gazdy je hodnotnou, přínosnou publikací. Je apelem na nutnost vybudování hlubších filozoficko-teoretických základů důkazního práva. Zároveň je napsána čtivým, poutavým stylem. Představuje odborný přínos v oborech obecné teorie práva i práva procesního a má všechny předpoklady stát se rovněž zajímavým titulem pro studenty právnických fakult i pro kolegy z právní praxe, zajímající se o teoretické otázky oboru.“

Moja výnimočná Linda


Chcete spoznať zaujímavú slečnu Lindu? Porozpráva vám o nej handrová bábika s rovnakým menom - prostoreká, nekorektná a úprimná. Obe Lindy, rozprávková aj ľudská, sa pohybujú v neobyčajných prostrediach. Dostanete sa s nimi do Krajiny bábik, na pôrodnú sálu aj do Kráľovstva chránená dielňa. Prečo je ich svet neobyčajný, prečo je občas smutný a prečo sa v ňom dejú zázraky? Pretože Linda sa narodila s mentálnym znevýhodnením. Ale práve táto okolnosť z nej spravila výnimočné dievča. Lenže Svet ľudí o ňu nestál. Aby sa o ňu mama nemusela báť a aby mohla robiť to, na čo má talent, napokon zariadila práve bábika bez predsudkov, čo si Lindu vybrala za svoju ľudskú mamu. Aj keď bába mnohému vo Svete ľudí nerozumela – jedno vedela iste. Neobyčajná Linda predsa nemôže svoj život presedieť doma. Ona musí svet skrášľovať. A dôkazom, že sa to podarilo, aj za pomoci čarovania, je táto knižka, ktorú Linda Schranzová ilustrovala. Je to totiž rozprávka faktu a všetky postavy naozaj existujú. Dokonca aj handrová bábika, ktorú v Kráľovstve chránená dielňa ušili podľa Lindinho návrhu a spisovateľka Barbora Dvořáková Hatráková jej vdýchla život a zaznamenala chvíľami smiešne, chvíľami dojímavé a občas aj poriadne naštvané rozprávanie.

Baráti beszélgetések (puhatáblás)

Egyik este megismerkednek egy ismert fotóssal, és egyre közelebb kerülnek hozzá. Francesnek különösen imponál az idősebb nő ízléses otthona és jóképű férje, Nick. Frances és a férfi flörtölni kezdenek, de kalandjuk, ami kezdetben ártalmatlan szórakozásnak indul, később fájdalmas érzésekhez vezet.

SALLY ROONEY 1991-ben született Írország nyugati részén. Publikált a New Yorkerben, a New York Timesban, a Grantában és a London Review of Booksban. Regényei - Baráti beszélgetések; Normális emberek; Hová lettél, szép világ; Intermezzo - magyarul a 21. Század Kiadó gondozásában jelentek meg.

Deväťhlavý dom


Príbeh o mnohodetnej rodine, dospievaní, náboženskej traume. Román pozýva na obhliadku rodinného domu, aby zodpovedal otázku: čo všetko dokáže o jednej rodine prezradiť priestor, ktorý obýva? Autorka v texte strieda úprimnosť brutálnu ako kopnutie do dverí kúpeľne s náznakmi, ktoré sa vznášajú medzi riadkami ako prach v kúte chodby. Deväťhlavý dom vie všetko. V deväťhlavom dome si mäkká mama nemôže vydýchnuť, otec musí trestať a deti nesmú vyvádzať. Do deväťhlavého domu cez stiahnuté rolety nevidno; musíte vstúpiť.

Výstrahy pred silným vetrom


Príbehy detí z neúplných rodín. Paradoxne však platí, že chýbajúci rodič je prítomný práve svojou neprítomnosťou: ako tieň, ktorý cítia, hoci ho nevidia. Deti pozorujeme v rôznych situáciách — sú ukryté v starej vŕbe, rozšantené na provizórnom ihrisku, v bolestivých kŕčoch prvej menštruácie, v ohrození neznámymi dospelými, či na nočných potulkách, keď sa hra na smrť stane až príliš skutočnou. Postavy vnútorne i navonok zápasia so stratou empatie a s potrebou či nutnosťou pochopiť sa navzájom. Všetky tieto a ďalšie nepríjemné skúsenosti z detstva si so sebou zväčša nesú aj do dospelosti. Súčasnosť je v textoch opísaná bez klišé i bez zľahčovania, autorka píše úsporne, presne, svetonázor detí strieda s realitou dospelých, drsnú reč s tichou introspekciou.
