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original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers, as well as a "family album" with previously unpublished shots and personal photos.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.
Výběr z hroznů
Osmá sbírka básníka a milovníka vína Kamila Maříka přináší zcela nové verše, ale i dřívější, dosud neuveřejněné texty, bilancující pohled na naši dobu očima člověka, který „už toho za ta léta hodně zažil“ a má právo dívat se na svět z nadhledu a bez zbytečného nadšení. Mnoho optimismu sbírka, členěná do čtyř oddílů, nepřináší, životní zkušenosti autora vedou k přesvědčení, že i přes „Půlnoční swing andělů na špici jehly s červenou nití času jsme trosečníky s děravou lodí, plující odkudkoli nikam“. Přesto však snad někde ještě je „zelená naděje s uhlíky žhavými“. Sbírka je vydána v počtu sto číslovaných, autorem podepsaných výtisků.
Skleněný dům
Rose Barclayová, devítiletá holčička, jejíž rodiče právě procházejí rozvodovou bitvou, byla svědkem úmrtí své chůvy a hned poté v důsledku prožitého traumatu přestala mluvit. Stella Hudsonová je soudem přidělena jako Rosina kolizní opatrovnice, jejíž posudek rozhodne o tom, kterému z rodičů po rozvodu dítě připadne do péče. Kvůli vlastnímu traumatickému dětství Stella odmítá přijímat klienty mladší třinácti let, ale její blízký přítel a vážený soudce věří, že je jediná, kdo může holčičce pomoci.
Poté, co Stella projede železnou bránou rozsáhlého pozemku Barclayových a vstoupí do jejich honosné vily, začíná tušit, že případ je mnohem zapeklitější, než se zdá. I samotný dům, v němž není ani kousek skla, v sobě má cosi temného a zlověstného.
Stella postupně odhaluje znepokojivé skutečnosti, které se rodina zoufale snaží utajit, a smyčka nebezpečí se začíná stahovat i kolem ní. Ve snaze pomoct němé holčičce se vynořuje i Stellina vlastní minulost, s níž se potřebuje vyrovnat.
Z vraždy chůvy jsou podezřelí všichni – Rosina matka, otec i invalidní babička. A dokonce i samotná Rose. Je holčička, kterou má Stella chránit, nebezpečným šílencem, před nímž by se naopak měla chránit ona sama?

Pařížské bestie
Jakási příšera v Paříži vraždí mocné muže. Zastavit ji možná dokáže jen žena.
Když pařížští četníci požádají Společnost pro výzkum abnormálních jevů o pomoc, netuší, že se do vyšetřování zapojí také Samantha Harkerová.
Mladá výzkumnice se dosud držela mezi regály knihoven a nejhorší zranění v životě utrpěla, když se řízla o papír. Jenže Sam je také dcerou muže, který zlikvidoval Drákulu, a dovede nahlížet do myslí příšer. Taková schopnost by jí mohla pomoct pařížský případ rozlousknout.
Nebo by ji mohla dostat do blázince.
Doktorka Helena Moriartyová, jedna z nejlepších agentek Společnosti, ovšem o Saminu pomoc zpočátku vůbec nestojí. Musí se totiž potýkat s neblahým vlivem jména a činů svého otce, profesora Moriartyho. Ten se sice skrývá před světem i spravedlností, ale občas o sobě dá vědět. Helini partneři pak za záhadných okolností umírají.
Vyšetřování nakonec Hel a Sam zavede mezi pařížskou smetánku i do prastarých temných katakomb. Bojují s příšerami, kouzly i lidmi a jejich zprvu napjatý vztah se pomalu mění…
Může ovšem Sam svojí partnerce opravdu věřit? Je vzájemná důvěra klíčem k vyřešení záhady? Anebo je Sam jen další figurou na šachovnici profesora Moriartyho?

Delicious in Dungeon - Chuť podzemí 1
Skupina dobrodruhů se na výpravě v podzemí střetne s drakem... a nedopadne to dobře. Nejenže jejich řady prořídly, ale zároveň přišli o většinu vybavení, a především nemají nic k jídlu! Mladý bojovník Laios se však chce stůj co stůj vrátit do podzemí a zachránit z dračího žaludku svou sestru Falin. Rozhodne se tedy pro riskantní, zato však velmi praktické řešení – spolu se zbylými přáteli sestoupí zpět do podzemí a cestou k drakovi se budou živit vším, co tam najdou, ať je to bazilišek, mandragora či oživlá zbroj.
Vzhůru za podzemní baštou!
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.“
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 River Has Roots
Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.
'Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one breath.'
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family.
There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk...
The River Has Roots is the hugely acclaimed solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal El-Mohtar.
Features beautiful interior illustrations.

How To Try Again
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.
Let's start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.
In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn't work) and still get things done. Drawing from his seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life's chaos.
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.
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.

The Heart of the Nhaga - Bird That Drinks Tears 1
Discover the bestselling epic fantasy series from the grandmaster of Korean SFF, available for the first time in English by award-winning translator Anton Hur. A can't-miss for readers of the great classics and giants of fantasy, from J.R.R Tolkien to Ursula K. Le Guin
Three handles one.
The world is divided by the Line of Limit. To the north are the Tokkebifire people able to manipulate flames as both weapons and illusions; Rekon - giant birdmen with immense strength and warrior acumen; and the humans - as divided as the other races are unified. To the south are the Nhaga - a reptilian people who relinquish their hearts for immortality. For centuries, the races didn't cross that line, but change is in the air. A Nhaga is being sent North…and a trio is being dispatched to make sure this agent from the South makes it out alive - one from each race.
But the illusion of a simple journey is quickly dispelled by the fact that the Tokkebi is merely a scholar, not an adventurer; the Rekon is deathly afraid of water; and the human hunts and eats Nhaga. And when the Nhaga they're supposed to be escorting out of the Kiboren forest is murdered, the one sent in his place turns out to very much have a heart - meaning he's quite vulnerable to the dangerous exodus.
The four must quickly forge an alliance and shed the distrust and prejudice that plagues them if they are to survive. And just as crucial, they must figure out what this mission is actually about, because unbeknownst to them, the very fate of the world might rest on this one Nhaga making it to the North intact.
A classic not to be missed, Heart of the Nhaga is epic fantasy at its best, translated into English for the first time ever by award-winning translator Anton Hur.
The Traveler
First a day. Then a year. Then forever.
Joseph Eckert's The Traveler is a captivating time travel novel perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Interstellar and Project Hail Mary.
It's a morning like any other when Scott Treder first slips. One moment, he's driving to work, fingers drumming the steering wheel. The next, he is tumbling down the road, his car gone, his world changed.
7:51 am. Monday, April 13th.
7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th.
Twenty-four hours, lost in a heartbeat.
This first slip is just the beginning. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott jumps forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First a day is lost. Then weeks. Then decades. As Scott hurtles helplessly toward the future, he watches his seven-year-old son, Lyle, grow into a man - and then an old man - in a matter of days.
But Lyle has a plan. He dedicates his entire existence to a single, impossible goal: catching the father who is leaving him behind . . .
An epic story of survival, heartbreak, and a father-son bond that defies the laws of physics.
