Castles A Fortified History of the World
From the bestselling author of The Templars and Powers and Thrones, Dan Jones returns with Castles: a gripping history of the world told through over three thousand years of iconic strongholds.Castles have been built to defend humanity for millennia - from the walls of Troy and the desert bastion of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria; to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London; to Himeji in Japan and the Maginot Line in the Second World War. They have inspired terror and ambition, foiled conquering forces, and been deployed as the ultimate expression of wealth, status and supremacy.Jones leads readers on a journey through centuries and across continents as each castle tells a unique story of power, politics and survival, revealing the shifting tides of warfare, the rise and fall of empires, the resilience of people under siege and the flourishing of new ideas.Blending rich storytelling, cutting-edge research and beautiful original illustrations, Castles is an epic story of how humans first came to build fortifications and how they expanded into powerfully capturing our imagination. With Jones's trademark scholarship and flair, he shows how defiance, endurance and imagination have been carved into the landscapes we've inherited.

Its Not a Cult
'I loved it straight away ... characters so vivid you feel like they might be living in your wardrobe right now' NATASHA PULLEY, author of THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET'Gloriously over-the-top and under-the-skin [with] shades of early Angela Carter' OSKAR JENSEN, author of HELLE AND DEATHCallum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the northeast of England with their 'sound'. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, of mishap and mayhem. Absolutely no one knows what they're on about. But they believe in their music, and in each other. And they're happy.That is, until an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily... real. Which poses the question: if the Solkats really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans?Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices. And one way or another they're going to get one...'An incredibly fun read ...

Fly, Wild Swans
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATION
A Book of the Year in The Times; Daily Telegraph; Financial Times and Waterstones
'A must-read … magnificent’ DAILY TELEGRAPH *****
'Beautiful and moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER
Jung Chang’s Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother – ‘three daughters of China’. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmother’s birth – and foot-binding – when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedong’s rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jung’s parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the ‘reforms’. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West.
Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States’ dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jung’s life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing – especially so because all her books were (and are) banned.
Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung’s family – along with that of China – up to date. The book is in many ways Jung’s love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jung’s subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and what’s more, it promises to herald the future.
China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jung’s heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history – both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jung’s clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best.

Bratstvo ruže 1: Červená vášeň
Píše sa rok 1837. Vitajte na začiatku viktoriánskeho obdobia. Vitajte v Londýne. Vraj ste o ňom už čítali? Už ste o ňom počuli? Ale nie všetko.Noblesa a prepych tu susedili s biedou a temnotou. Elitu a boháčov tí druhí nezaujímali, akoby pre nich vôbec neexistovali. Našli sa však aj takí, ktorí im potajomky pomáhali. Ľudia ich mená vyslovovali len šeptom. Bolo to bratstvo – Bratstvo ruže. Lord Philip Gallagher usporiadal opäť jeden zo svojich povestných plesov. Jedlo, hudba, neviazaná zábava a ich očarujúci hostiteľ boli zárukou skvelého večera.Kto by si však pomyslel, že nenapraviteľný zvodca je zároveň členom bratstva, ktoré bolo práve v tento večer požiadané o pomoc? Ples by pre neho nebol ničím výnimočným, keby sa na ňom neobjavila istá slečna. Susan Barkerová však nie je obyčajná. A práve tým ho zaujme. Kým ona verí, že sa jej bude vyhýbať ako všetci ostatní, Philipa jej prudká povaha a chuť ochraňovať slabších láka. Aj napriek tomu, čo sa o nej hovorí. Vraj je šialená.Mal by sa jej vyhýbať.Dokáže to?
Za hranicu života a smrti
Legenda bojových umení a medzinárodná filmová
hviezda Jet Li prináša desať kľúčových lekcií, ku
ktorým dospel na základe svojej hviezdnej kariéry,
súkromného života a tridsaťročnej budhistickej praxe. Jeho životný príbeh prekonáva
akékoľvek legendy. Napriek detstvu v extrémnej chudobe sa už v dvanástich rokoch stal
najmladším celoštátnym šampiónom v histórii Číny, keď dokázal poraziť súperov dvakrát
väčších než on sám. Filmy ako Kláštor Shaolin, Vtedy v Číne, Hrdina či Obávaný bojovník z
neho urobili jednu z prvých globálnych hviezd čínskeho pôvodu a navždy zmenili pohľad
moderného sveta na bojové umenia. Za leskom slávy sa však odohrával tichší, no dôležitejší
zápas – hľadanie zmyslu života, ktorý by nespočíval len v peniazoch či fyzickej sile. Zlom
nastal v roku 2004, keď Li takmer zahynul pri ničivom tsunami. Táto skúsenosť ho prinútila
obrátiť sa do svojho vnútra, prehĺbiť štúdium tibetského budhizmu a napriek vrcholu
hollywoodskej kariéry zasvätiť život filantropii.
Vôbec po prvýkrát sa Li delí o desať pilierov, ktoré mu boli v živote oporou a v ktorých môže
každý nájsť inšpiráciu a silu. V knihe Za hranicu života a smrti pozýva čitateľov do svojho
súkromia, odhaľuje svoje rodinné pozadie, povahu svojich vzťahov s dcérami a tiež doteraz
neznáme príbehy z nakrúcania a premýšľa nad podstatou duchovného prebudenia. Svoj
životný osud spája s duchovnou cestou a ponúka praktické poznatky, ktoré môže využiť
každý na ceste k vyrovnanému a šťastnému životu.
Přežila jsem Osvětim
Přežila jsem Osvětim je autentické svědectví polské autorky a bývalé vězeňkyně Krystyny Żywulské. Kniha bez cenzury a příkras zachycuje hrůzy varšavského ghetta, vyhlazovacího tábora Osvětim-Březinka a následný útěk z pochodu smrti, přičemž brutální realitu líčí s neobyčejnou syrovostí a citem pro přežití.

Žraloci a malé ryby
Světově proslulý román z prostředí bojů ve vodách Atlantiku během druhé světové války je příběhem několika mladých příslušníků německého námořnictva, kterým válečná mašinérie vyměřila krutý a krátký život, v němž jsou nuceni se projevit v celé své lidské nahotě.
„Zuřivý vztek ho postavil na nohy. Pološílený se vrhl k Wegenerovi – a rackové vzlétli. Teichmann vzal velitelovu hlavu do rukou a tělem mu zalomcoval zoufalý, bezmocný pláč. Měl pocit, že zešílí, když si uvědomil, že zatímco o sobě nevěděl, vyklovali rackové Wegenerovi oči. Nemohl pohnout rukama, aby je zaplašil, a tak mu ty potvory vyklovaly nejdřív jedno a pak i druhé oko. Z prázdných důlků stékaly dvě rudé stružky…“
Hodža: poslanec - minister – premiér
JUDr. Milan Hodža (* 1878, Sučany, Rakúsko-Uhorsko – † 1944, Clearwater, USA), slovenský politik, štátnik a publicista. Bol úradujúci prezident Česko-slovenskej republiky, jedenásty, prvý slovenský, predseda vlády Česko-Slovenska a viackrát minister. Napriek tomu, že v slovenskej, ale aj v česko-slovenskej politike, bol ojedinelým zjavom, veľa sa o ňom nevie, nepublikuje. Sám bol zapálený novinár a žurnalistike sa venoval už od svojich dvadsiatych rokov, o sebe toho veľa nenapísal. Zrejme však hlavná príčina tkvie v tom, že žiadnemu režimu celkom nevyhovoval. Pre ľudákov bol počas slovenského štátu čechoslovakista. Pre komunistov po roku 1948 bol predstaviteľ buržoázie a jeden z vinníkov Mníchovskej dohody. Po vzniku Slovenskej republiky v roku 1993 sa pri jeho mene spomínali mnohé „smrteľné“ politické hriechy, ale nakoniec ho vzali na milosť. No, ako sa hovorí v jednej anekdote, zlý dojem, aj po vysvetlení situácie, zostal. Kniha približuje čitateľovi život a politické pôsobenie Milana Hodžu v novodobých slovenských dejinách.
Od zakliatej hory po Mahulienu
Slovenská ľudová rozprávka nie je len príbehom pre deti, ale mapou liečenia ľudskej duše. Autor číta príbehy Pavla Dobšinského cez optiku jungiánskej psychológie a modernej traumatológie a odhaľuje, že draci, zakliate hory či zlaté panny nie sú len rozprávkové obrazy, ale presné symboly našich najhlbších vnútorných zápasov. Kým Zakliata hora rozpráva o strate identity a hľadaní cesty z krajiny tieňov, Mahuliena zlatá panna nás vedie ešte hlbšie – k samotnému jadru traumy, kde sa rodí rozštiepenie duše, ale aj túžba po jej uzdravení. Kniha ukazuje, ako vnútorné obrany, ktoré nás mali chrániť, môžu človeka uzavrieť do „kamenného väzenia“ funkčnej depresie a provizórneho života. Toto jedinečné spojenie folklóru, analytickej psychológie a klinickej skúsenosti ponúka nový pohľad na to, prečo si často sami podkopávame vzťahy a ako môže odvaha pozrieť sa do vlastnej rany prebudiť silu, ktorá nás vedie späť k celistvosti. Je to kniha o tom, že skutočná premena neprichádza víťazstvom ega, ale návratom duše tam, kde kedysi stuhla od bolesti.
Raj môjho detstva. Pressburg 1825-1840
Spomienky na život v Prešporku v prvej polovici 19. storočia sú vrúcnym a láskyplným vyznaním mestu, ktorému autor podľa vlastných slov celý život vďačil za svoj zmysel pre krásu. Na základe svojich spomienok, listov a denníkových zápiskov rodičov opisuje každodenný život v Prešporku v rokoch, ktoré predchádzali revolučným udalostiam marca 1848. Vďaka kontaktom svojho otca – významného portrétneho maliara, prichádzal von Leinburg do kontaktu s uhorskou šľachtou, cirkevnými predstaviteľmi, umelcami, intelektuálmi či poslancami snemu, ktorý v meste zasadal až do roku 1848. Opisuje však aj svoje dojmy z kontaktov s mestskou chudobou, život na prešporských perifériách a v okolitých dedinách, zvyklosti v meštianskych či viecharskych rodinách, významné aj drobné udalosti v živote mesta. Dramatický politický, národnostný, kultúrny, technický a umelecký vývoj tých rokov je samozrejmou kulisou dní, ktorých spoločenský význam pochopil až v dospelosti, ktorý v ňom ale navždy zanechal hrdosť na svoj uhorský pôvod a pýchu na svoje starobylé a legendami opradené mesto. Raj jeho detstva je Prešporok, do ktorého prichádza železnica, koncertuje v ňom Richard Strauss a Franz Liszt, na Uhorskom sneme reční Ľudovít Štúr a Lajos Kossuth, v petržalských nivách sa rozprestierajú lúky a háje, v Dóme sv. Martina naposledy korunujú uhorských kráľov, vo svetovej premiére odznie Beethovenova Missa Solemnis, v divadle Aréna hosťujú viedenské súbory a rakúske časopisy opisujú Prešporok ako „najkrajší chrám múzy Tálie“.
