Pohled z kabiny
Co všechno zažije člověk, který tráví život mezi dálničními kilometry, parkovišti a nekonečným tichem kabiny kamionu?
Kniha o životě na cestě – ale taky o hledání smyslu, pravdy a vlastního směru. Autor vás bez příkras zve přímo k sobě do kabiny. Mezi kávou z benzínky, nočními přejezdy hranic a únavou, která se nedá obejít, vznikají texty o lásce, samotě, víře, pádech i znovunalezené síle.
Nejde o klasické vyprávění. Kniha kombinuje osobní zpověď, krátké příběhy, poetické texty i provokativní úvahy o světě, systému, manipulaci a svobodě člověka. Místy vás rozesměje, jinde znejistí, někde vás možná i vytočí – ale nenechá vás chladnými. Autor otevřeně přiznává, kde končí realita a kde začíná fantazie. A právě tam vzniká prostor k zamyšlení.
Pohled z kabiny je kniha pro ty, kteří mají pocit, že se svět zrychlil až příliš. Pro ty, kdo se nebojí jiného pohledu. A pro všechny, kteří cítí, že život není jen o cíli – ale o cestě.
Protože kormidlo svého života držíš v rukou jen ty sám.

Discover the extraordinary science that promises to transform healthcare, where computer chips may regulate blood sugar, and electrical implants may replace medications forever.
The Great Nerve not only revolutionizes how we will understand and treat disease: it gives us unprecedented hope for our health.
The Bewitching
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

The Little Prince
Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world.
The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a children's fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the "secret treasure" of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates.
Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that "grown-ups are very strange"; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature.
De Saint-Exupéry's aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. "The only reason to speak in riddles," he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, "is to solve them."

Terrific. Meticulously researched. Beautifully written' LITERARY REVIEWBorn into the English Wars of the Roses, educated in the European Renaissance, enthralled by the Age of Exploration and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More is one of the most famous - or notorious - figures in English history. Is he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of Utopia and an inspiration for statesmen, socialists and intellectuals even toda? r is he the stubborn zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hal? homas More: A Life and Death in Tudor England is the definitive biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure.
