Historická detektivka 3
Dějiny nejsou jen sledem velkých okamžiků – politických dohod a dynastických svazků, stěhování celých národů, vítězných bitev i zdrcujících porážek. Tvoří je také mnohem drobnější příběhy: zločiny, spory a skandály, jež se občas propíšou do „velkých“ dějin, jindy však zůstanou ukryty v zaprášených stránkách místních kronik nebo soudních registrů, zapomenuty všemi kromě těch, kterých se bezprostředně dotkly.
Na oba tyto světy jsme se zaměřili ve třetím díle naší „kriminální” série. Potkáte zde vzbouřené sedláky i zrádné rychtáře, nešťastné šlechtičny i bezohlednou vrchnost, zlodějíčky i falzifikátory. Nahlédnete do zákulisí státního bankrotu, který ochudil tisíce lidí, i do záhadného zmizení podnikatele v předvečer druhé světové války. Každý z příběhů je jiný – a přesto je všechny spojuje jedna věc: jsou skutečné.
Nehledejte na těchto stránkách falešnou senzaci ani lacinou dramatizaci. To, co zde najdete, je syrová realita českých dějin – taková, jaká byla, bez příkras i bez zbytečného moralizování. Za každým článkem stojí odborní autoři našich historických magazínů Tajemství české minulosti a Živá historie.
Vydejte se s námi na cestu, která je stejnou měrou zábavná i poučná, napínavá i překvapivá. Cestu za poznáním událostí, jež – ať velké nebo zdánlivě malé – spoluvytvářely to, čemu říkáme české dějiny.

Túrapara
Are Kalvo képeslapra illő hegyek között nőtt fel Nyugat-Norvégiában, mégsem lett a természet szerelmese. Beköltözött a fővárosba, és vissza se nézett. Nem is volt ezzel semmi probléma egészen addig, amíg a barátai el nem kezdtek felszívódni… Ugyanis elragadta őket a természet! Jó embereket. Okos embereket. Vicces embereket, akik korábban bármikor szívesen mentek Aréval kocsmázni. Erre most minden hétvégén túrázni meg síelni járnak. Korán kelnek, lefotózzák magukat, amint egy hegy tetején állva az ég felé nyújtják a karjukat, a képet kiteszik a Facebookra vagy az Instára, és ilyeneket írnak mellé (egy csöppnyi irónia nélkül): „A hegyen a csend semmi másra nem hasonlít.”
Kalvo – mivel mindig számol azzal, hogy esetleg ő tévedhet – elhatározza, hogy megfejti, mi olyan nagy pláne a túrázásban. Tényleg érdemes minden más szórakozást feladni és a város meghitt fényeit egy világvégi, nyirkos hüttére cserélni, aminek Szúnyogszállás a neve? Fogja hát magát, vásárol egy rakás nevetségesen drága túracuccot, és elindul a vadonba.
Vajon megadja magát a természet vonzerejének? Vagy inkább megkeresi odakint a régi barátait, hazarángatja őket, aztán együtt elmennek valahová, ahol meleg van, és sört is csapolnak?
A Legyek Ura
Golding a második világháborúban szerzett tapasztalatait felhasználva a tudata, a lelke, a zsigerei mélyén megbújó ősi, vad ösztönökre ráébredő és az atomháború árnyékában élő ember félelmeit jeleníti meg példázatában vagy mítoszregényében: egy hátborzongatóan izgalmas és kegyetlen történetben, melynek hősei tíz-tizenkét éves angol fiúk.
A világban háború dúl, s a fiúk repülőgép-szerencsétlenség következtében egy lakatlan szigetre kerülnek, távol a civilizációtól - amely talán éppen elpusztul -, s megpróbálnak értelmes rendet, társadalmat kialakítani. És őrzik a tüzet, mert ez az egyetlen útja a menekülésnek.
Sokáig kellemes, szinte idilli játéknak tetszik az egész: a jól nevelt angol fiúk ragyogóan megbirkóznak a nehézségekkel, s követik Ralphot, a született vezetőt, aki tüzet gyújt, és expedíciót vezet a sziget felderítésére. Ám az idillben - eleinte szinte észrevétlenül - sokasodnak a bajok: a vezérszerepre pályázó Jack nem hajlandó engedelmeskedni Ralphnak, és a fiúk közül egyre többen állnak mellé, s imádják vele együtt a Legyek Urát.

Father Material
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...what was that, exactly?
Luc and Oliver have been through it all: fake dating to save Luc's career, I-guess-this-is-actually-for-real dating when all of that blew up spectacularly, (briefly) breaking up over irreconcilable differences, (definitively) getting back together over perfectly reconcilable everything else, (almost) getting married, (finally) moving in together, and ultimately celebrating years of perfect domestic bliss.
But as all their very grown-up-now friends begin reaching new life milestones, advancing careers and having babies, Luc and Oliver decide it's time to open their hearts and lives to something new: a tiny, squirming, adorable bundle of furry joy named Spud.
And maybe now that hearts-and-lives are already open, there's room for someone else. Something more. Something that may require them to find in themselves a little father material.
The Last Time We Drowned
Six influencers. One luxury yacht. Nowhere to hide.
Charlie Engels is broke and desperate when her bookstagram account lands her the offer of a lifetime: join Empress, a state-of-the-art yacht houseboat off the Florida Keys turned influencer paradise. Lucrative brand deals and a ready-made "sisterhood" of internet stars-it may not be Charlie's dream job, but she knows she'd be a fool to turn it down.
It's also the perfect distraction; Charlie's eager to outrun her past and a staggering betrayal by her former best friend. Now, aboard Empress, Charlie is surrounded by dazzling women with their own baggage: the magnetic but ruthless leader, the spiraling fashion queen, the inseparable twins, the peacemaker with cracks in her confidence, and the memory of the influencer who Charlie is replacing. The same influencer who Charlie keeps seeing on board, even though the others insist she quit.
But when a hurricane traps the group at sea with their billionaire boss, the dream turns claustrophobic. Communications cut. Supplies dwindling. Old betrayals bubbling to the surface. Then the first body drops.
As paranoia mounts and alliances splinter, Charlie realizes the real danger isn't the storm outside-it's the deadly games being played below deck. And if she can't outwit a killer, her past won't be the only ghost that comes back to drown her.
From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes THE LAST TIME WE DROWNED, a razor-sharp, atmospheric, and impossible to put down locked-room psychological thriller where luxury curdles into terror and survival comes at the highest price.

• riešenia nezhôd rodičov pri výkone rodičovských práv: za akých okolností súd nahrádza súhlas druhého rodiča v otázkach týkajúcich sa dieťaťa (napríklad v súvislosti so vzdelávaním, zápisom do konkrétnej školy či absolvovaním rôznych záujmových aktivít) v režime neodkladného opatrenia a tiež, ako súdy vyhodnocujú zverejňovanie fotografií a videí maloletých detí na sociálnych sieťach;
• procesnoprávnych osobitostí: aké sú limity dokazovania v konaní o neodkladnom opatrení a aké sú špecifiká výkonu rozhodnutia, ktorým bolo nariadené neodkladné opatrenie vo veciach maloletých.

Shattered Gods
She was Olympus's Queen. Its sacrifice. Its saviour. Its destruction.
Long ago, Circe was Hermes' entire heart. The two women lived on the outskirts of Olympian society, content with a quiet life away from the spotlight. Then Circe caught the eye of Zeus…and was forced into a marriage that would take her freedom, her future, and in the end, her life. In the wake of the tragedy, gossip swirled about the woman Zeus married and (allegedly) murdered…but in time, everyone forgot about beautiful, tragic Circe.
Everyone but Hermes, who vowed on that day to bring Olympus to its knees.
Now, fifteen years later, a new Zeus rules the city, a new Hades protects his people, a new hope dawns…and Hermes has begun to think there may be things about Olympus worth saving. With Atalanta by her side-and slowly rebuilding her heart-Hermes may finally be ready to set aside her fury and seek the city's rebirth instead of its total annihilation. But there is a beautiful devil on Hermes' other shoulder: a devil who rose, blood-soaked, from where Zeus left her for dead years ago. A devil who has waited all this time to have her revenge.
And no matter their past, no matter the desperate love they once shared, no matter the complicated triad forming between the three women, Circe will not rest until all of Olympus lays shattered at her feet…and the gods help anyone who gets in her way.
Katee Robert breathes new life into Greek mythology's beloved characters Circe, Hermes and Atalanta, with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance retelling that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.

Kahlo: The Bigger Picture
Saturated with color and brimming with insight into Frida Kahlo’s oeuvre, this sumptuous book presents her art in all its intensity, detail, and visual power, with six magnificent fold-outs interspersed throughout the book.
Few artists have fused life and art as completely as Frida Kahlo, whose paintings transform personal experience into images of extraordinary force. Bringing together approximately ninety works, this book traces the full arc of her career—from early self-portraits to paintings shaped by love, politics, physical suffering, and fierce independence.
The often full-page or double-page reproductions and details of the works encourage close looking, allowing readers to move between Kahlo’s commanding compositions and the quieter details that carry emotional and symbolic weight.
Interspersed throughout the volume are six large-format fold-outs devoted to landmark paintings, including Self-Portrait (in a Velvet Dress), Self-Portrait (on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States), The Bride Frightened at Seeing Life Opened, Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, Self-Portrait (Diego on My Mind), and Self-Portrait (Dedicated to Doctor Eloesser).
Reproduced at an expanded scale, these fold-outs reward sustained attention to brushwork, surface, and detailed iconography. The accompanying texts integrate biography with visual analysis, clarifying how Kahlo’s art absorbed the realities of her body, her relationships, and her political beliefs. Featuring a cloth binding and sprayed edges drawn from Kahlo’s imagery, this is a book designed to be lingered over—an absorbing object for devoted admirers and a striking addition to any art library.
Abu Jmeel''s Daughter & Other Stories
These 27 traditional folk stories were written down, shortly before her death, by Jamal Sleem Nuweihed, who had recounted them to the children of her extended family over many years. Authentically Arab in their themes, yet timelessly universal, they are sometimes magical, sometimes naturalistic, and combine a wealth of vivid detail with elements of pathos and humour. Translated by family members of various generations, then expertly edited, the book is a precious store of the kind of tale endlessly cherished but in danger of disappearing.
