Porozumět svědkům
Čtyři eseje soustředěné pod názvem Porozumět svědkům zkoumají, jak se literární dílo proměňuje v estetický objekt v rukou interpreta, jenž osciluje mezi rolí literárního historika a pozorného čtenáře. Kniha vychází z přesvědčení, že pouhé poukazování na kreativní recepci literatury nestačí – klíčová je kvalitní práce s textem zakořeněná v živé kultuře.
Úvodní esej Točité schody mapuje podmínky rozvoje bohemistiky a polonistiky po roce 2000 na univerzitních pracovištích v Praze, Hradci Králové a Pardubicích a klade důraz na odpovědnost oboru vůči kulturní praxi. Skrytá stezka se vymezuje proti mechanickému spoléhání na žánrové konvence a aktualizační výklady a vybízí ke zkusmým způsobům četby, které otevírají mnohovrstevnatost literárních významů. Esej Smyčky dějin se zaměřuje na specifika fiktivního času v české a polské literatuře 20. a 21. století a ukazuje, jak hra s kulturní pamětí umožňuje překračovat zažité myšlenkové rámce. Závěrečné Rozsypané stránky zdůrazňují potřebu generační sebekritiky založené jak na racionální argumentaci, tak na empatii vůči druhému.
Teprve souběh těchto čtyř hledisek – živé kultury, osobní četby, kulturní paměti a generační sebereflexe – umožňuje porozumět literárnímu svědectví napříč obdobími i zkušenostmi jednotlivce a moderní společnosti.
Nová éra. Čínská politika za vlády Si Ťin-pchinga
Po svém nástupu do čela Číny představil Si Ťin-pching heslo „čínského snu“, které následně spojil se snahou o vytvoření „nové éry“. Na pozadí těchto představ začal proměňovat řadu do té doby platných a klíčových principů čínské domácí i zahraniční politiky. Cílem této knihy je charakterizovat podobu politického projektu Si Ťin-pchinga a jeho obecnou politickou strategii od roku 2012 až do současnosti. Kniha analyzuje vstupní předpoklady, klíčové volby a dilemata, které jeho vládu charakterizují, a to v oblastech týkajících se organizace čínské politiky, ideologie, zdrojů moci a její projekce. Publikace tak pokrývá řadu zásadních témat, která určují současnost i budoucnost Číny. Patří mezi ně například koncentrace osobní moci Si Ťin-pchinga, vztah k Tchaj-wanu
a dalším klíčovým zájmovým oblastem, přístup k mezinárodnímu řádu či snaha o strukturální ekonomické reformy. Zároveň poukazuje na podobnosti i odlišnosti Si Ťin-pchingovy vlády ve srovnání s předchozími čínskými vůdci, především Mao Ce-tungem a Teng Siao-pchingem.
The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway, Volume 2

Wedding bells are ringing, and Inés Valeztena and Cárcel Escalante are finally married. Inés is a shockingly radiant bride, and the nobles who once scorned her now see her in a different light – including Cárcel, who feels unsettled by all the attention on his dazzling new wife. But on the inside, Inés remains determined to ultimately unravel this marriage and gain the freedom she could never obtain in her previous lives.
The newlyweds begin their life together in Calztela, where Cárcel is on military duty. The quaint coastal city may seem like a perfect honeymoon destination, but it also holds haunting memories from Inés’s prior life. As she works to untangle herself from the past and keep in motion her meticulous plans for the future, Inés finds that Cárcel might make things more difficult than she expected.
Volume 2 collects episodes 15–28 of the webcomic The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway.
Neslyší na Elišku
Eliška je mladá žena, která má všechny důvody ke spokojenosti – je vdaná, dobře situovaná a má krásnou dcerku. Jenže manželství s Pavlem upadá do rutiny a v jejím životě se objeví mladý učitel Matěj, její dávná láska. Eliška tak balancuje mezi mateřstvím, rozpadajícím se vztahem a milostným citem, jenž trvá navzdory času i zásadním změnám, kvůli nimž románky z mládí obvykle končí v propadlišti vzpomínek. Proč je ten kluk, co jí vždycky říkal Něha, tak neodolatelný – i když nenosí mužný zevnějšek jako Pavel, z bot se mu klube palec, neřídí auto a interiér jeho domku po babičce spíš než skutečný domov připomíná několik desítek let staré kulisy ze seriálu Vyprávěj? Příběh o tom, jak snadné je nevědět, kým vlastně jsme – a jak těžké je slyšet, když nás někdo volá jménem, které už necítíme jako vlastní.

The Last of Its Kind
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book PrizeHow an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinctionThe great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gísli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists’ Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson’s own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.
