The Cut Line
In the dog days of an Estonian summer, Liine flees to the countryside to put a conclusive end to her toxic 14-year relationship. She undergoes every stage of separation in a lone farmstead amid forests. A lot of physical labour and gardening help her withstand her ex-partner's threats, the incredulity of friends and family, and her own anguish. Dread is pervasive in this novel. Set in the near future, it is filled with vivid depictions of the threat of climate change. No less menacing is the presence of an expanding NATO base close to the cottage at the Russian border. The world's largest military alliance is practicing for an attack. Explosions and shots ring in the distance while Liine tries to recover from fourteen years of violence. Yet she simply follows the rhythm of nature as summer unfolds. While her environment changes around her, Liine-always in the garden chopping wood, weeding, sowing-undergoes profound transformations, too. The Cut Line is a story of fear, self-blame, grief, numbness, and anger ultimately giving way to hope and healing, joy and lightness.

Archeologie ve jménu národa a vlasti
Kniha se věnuje konferenci, která byla titulárně věnována výročí 100 let od vzniku Německé společnosti pro pravěk a ranou dobu dějinnou v Československu (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in der Tschechoslowakei), spolku sdružujícího především národnostně německé prehistoriky a zájemce o tento obor v meziválečném Československu, oficiálně konstituované 1. listopadu 1924 v Ústí nad Labem. Tematicky byla zaměřena na interetnické (česko-německé, slovensko-české, slovensko-německé, maďarsko-slovenské apod.) vztahy ve středoevropské archeologii. V prostorách konference bylo po celou dobu možné zhlédnout unikátní výstavu poštovních známek a cenin s archeologickými motivy z celého světa, nepatrnou část jedné soukromé sbírky.
Minka.Vilemína Podhajská (1881-1963)
Osobnost Minky Podhajské zůstávala doposud mimo hlavní zájem o výtvarnou tvorbu žen počátku 20. století, možná i proto, že polovinu života prožila ve Vídni, kde se narodila a získala výtvarné vzdělání. její umělecké schopnosti zahrnovaly širokou škálu: byla malířkou, kreslířkou, ilustrátorkou hraček, návrhářkou keramických souprav - zkoušela všechno, co nejprve škola a později praxe poskytovala. Dcera českých rodičů mluvila česky, německy, francouzsky, anglicky, hrála ochotnické divadlo, zpívala, milovala cestování. První světovou válku prožila ještě ve Vídni a záhy po jejím skončení, po rozpadu Rakouska-Uherska, odešla do Prahy. Minka Podhajská spojovala dva světy - vídeňský a český: ještě v době, kdy žila ve Vídni, se aktivně zapojovala i do dění na české scéně, pracovala pro Artěl a Hořické hračkářské družstvo. Po svém přestěhování do Československa se stala profesorkou, profesionálně se věnovala návrhářství hraček a malbě. Byla komplexní umělkyní, schopnou pracovat v mnoha oborech. Získání nových informací a objev dalších děl autorky se stalo podnětem k vydání této publikace s vědomím, že nejsou vyloučeny další objevy týkající se tvorby této nevšední umělkyně. texty: Eva Neumannová (ed.), Eva Bendová, Marie Míčová grafický design: Štěpán Malovec
A teremtés tava
„Sadie Smith” – így mutatkozik be a francia vidéken található anarchista kommuna tagjainak a harmincnégy éves amerikai nő, aki tökéletes fedősztorival érkezik elvégezni küldetését. Sadie ugyanis ügynök, árnyékban mozgó megbízók parancsára igyekszik beépülni a célpontjai, a fiatal, radikális lázadók közé, akik forradalmat vizionálva az államhatalom felszámolásáról álmodoznak, ráadásul egyre közelebb kerülnek ahhoz, hogy tetté formálják az eszméiket. Sadie feladata: provokálni a tagokat, jelenteni róluk, és ha kell, megállítani őket. Bármi áron.
Azonban minden megváltozik, amikor felbukkan Bruno Lacombe, a radikálisok öreg mentora, a régmúlt megszállottja, aki csak e-mailben kommunikál a világgal, és aki szerint a modern élet problémáitól való szabaduláshoz nem a forradalom, hanem a visszatérés vezet – vissza az ősidőkig. Sadie, aki addig maga rángatta a szálakat, egyszer csak azt veszi észre: valaki más kezd játszani vele.
Rachel Kushner több irodalmi díjra jelölt regénye feszülten rétegzett thriller, szenvtelenül gyönyörű prózája egy olyan világba vezet, ahol a szerelem is fegyver, a múlt fikció, az igazság pedig csak egy újabb fedőtörténet. A teremtés tava hipnotikus olvasmány – kíméletlenül intelligens, sötéten ironikus és végzetesen lebilincselő.
