Their children, Jake and Juliet, have each retreated towards drugs and food, their already strained relationship with their father unable to bear this latest rupture. And to cap it all, it's the hottest summer anyone can remember. Enter Struan. Built like a heron, fresh from Scotland, he is thrust -- quite literally -- into the bosom of the family as Phillip's 17-year-old nurse. He's had experience of death, but not of London.

The Primordial Tradition of Ancient China
The first English translation of Taoist occultist Matgioi’s seminal work• Shares a deep understanding of the I Ching’s cosmological foundation• Offers the meanings of the straight and broken lines of the 64 hexagrams• Explains how the symbol of the yin-yang represents the individual’s destiny, including his emanation from, and reintegration into, PerfectionFirst published in French in 1905, and now translated into English for the first time, Matgioi’s book became the metaphysical core of the Traditionalist movement established by French occultist René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Ananda Coomaraswamy. Translator Joscelyn Godwin tells how Matgioi was initiated into a Taoist secret society and was given rare access to the perennial wisdom of that tradition. His work reveals the great antiquity of Emperor Fohi, who set down the cosmogonic principles upon which the I Ching is based and lived more than 2,000 years before Moses. Matgioi regarded Fohi as representing a school of sages unbound to any century since their wisdom is as old as humanity itself. The I Ching crystallizes a first and truest insight into the nature of reality from which the ancients derived a practical philosophy. Chinese traditionalists regard the I Ching as the first monument of consciousnes, and Matgioi explores it and equally important treatises by Fohi’s successors. In this book, readers will discover the divine nature of Chinese script, the relationship of logos and symbol, and the multiple shapes of the universe. Matgioi also explains how the yin-yang symbolizes one’s destiny and emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection. This key work echoes Emperor Fohi’s belief that the solutions to all questions can be found by bringing them back to their sources.

Dva osudy spojené jedným domom. Jedna žena v súčasnosti, druhá v 17. storočí. A tajomstvo, ktoré prežilo stáročia…
Keď Adrianna príde do zanedbaného domčeka pri mori na norfolskom vidieku, dúfa, že tu na čas unikne pred vlastným životom. No hneď po príchode zistí, že dom v sebe ukrýva viac, než len stopy minulosti. Pod uvoľnenou podlahou objaví tajomné zápisky a v zarastenej záhrade zvláštne vyrezávaný kameň – a netuší, že práve odomkla dvere do dávnej histórie.
Rok 1646. Ursula, pôrodná babica a bylinkárka, vedie tichý život na okraji dediny. Bez manžela, bez ochrany, a to v čase, keď jediný šepot o čarodejníctve znamená rozsudok smrti. Keď si ju všimne mocný lekár, musí sa rozhodnúť, ako prežiť – a čo všetko je ochotná obetovať.
Dva ženské hlasy, jeden dom plný spomienok a sila, ktorá pretrváva stáročia. Pútavý historický román o tajomstvách, odvahe a osudovosti, ktorá nepozná čas.

My, čo zápasíme s Bohom
Jordan B. Peterson, celosvetovo známy klinický psychológ a autor bestsellerov 12 pravidiel pre život a Za hranicou poriadku, sa v tejto výnimočnej knihe púšťa do jedného z najodvážnejších projektov svojej kariéry – do hlbokého, psychologického a filozofického čítania najstaršieho príbehu ľudstva.
V knihe My, čo zápasíme s Bohom nás prevedie biblickým rozprávaním, ktoré formovalo západnú civilizáciu a aj naše chápanie dobra, zla, poriadku a chaosu: Adam a Eva a pád človeka, bratovražda Kaina a Ábela, Noachova potopa, zrútenie Babylonskej veže, Abrahámova skúška viery či Mojžišov zápas o slobodu.
Peterson skúma, prečo tieto príbehy vznikli, čo znamenajú z hľadiska psychológie, biológie aj kultúry a čo riskujeme, keď ich dnes odmietame ako bezvýznamné mýty. Ukazuje, že tieto naratívy predstavujú starobylé mapy ľudskej skúsenosti: od vzbury proti chaosu cez obetu až po osobnú transformáciu.
Toto dielo však nie je len interpretáciou Biblie, je to pozvánka na nové, hlboké zamyslenie sa nad samým sebou a nad vlastným životom. Kniha je určená pre každého, kto sa chce lepšie zorientovať v zložitosti moderného sveta prostredníctvom osvedčenej múdrosti najväčšieho príbehu všetkých čias.

Ohnivá trapéza
Aerial Trio Awe je skupina troch akrobatov vystupujúca na trapéze v podniku Acapulco. Sú obľúbení, talentovaní a dychberúci. Tragická nehoda zoberie život jednému z nich a majiteľ klubu dá zvyšným dvom ultimátum – buď si nájdu tretieho akrobata alebo v klube končia. Elsie dúfa, že sa jej len sníva, keď na konkurz príde Duncan – muž, ktorý ju ako chlapec na škole šikanoval. Bez problémov vyradí všetkých ostatných kandidátov a ona si uvedomí, že ak nechcú stratiť dohodu v klube a stabilný príjem, musia ho prijať.
Na tréningoch Elsie bojuje s faktom, že sa jej dotýka niekto, kto hanil jej telo. Postupne však zisťuje, že Duncan už nie nie tým krutým tínedžerom. Má vlastné problémy a vytvárať Elsie vrásky na tvári je to posledné, čo má na mysli. Obaja musia prejsť kľukatou cestou spoznávania a zmierenia. Druhé šance a odpustenia nerastú na stromoch, ale je potrebné vypestovať ich v ublížených srdciach. Rany majú obaja, hoci od odlišných osôb. Podarí sa semienku odpustenia vyklíčiť v ich ubolených dušiach?

Křesťanství jako mystická skutečnost a mysteria starověku
Křesťanství jako mystická skutečnost patří k raným, avšak zásadním dílům Rudolfa Steinera, v němž autor nahlíží kořeny křesťanství prostřednictvím dějin starověkých mysterií, duchovních škol a esoterních tradic lidstva. Steiner sleduje, jak se prastaré zasvěcovací rituály Egypta, Řecka či Orientu přetavily a završily v osobě Krista a v události Golgoty, kterou chápe jako skutečný duchovní obrat v evoluci lidstva.
Kniha nepojímá křesťanství jako systém dogmat, ale jako živou mystickou skutečnost – jako impulz, který proměnil vědomí člověka a otevřel cestu k novému typu duchovního poznání. Steiner rozvíjí myšlenku, že evangelia jsou nejen historickými texty, ale také iniciačními dokumenty, jejichž symbolika navazuje na hermetickou a mystickou tradici, a zároveň ji přesahuje.
Dílo propojuje filosofii, religionistiku a esoteriku a nabízí čtenáři interpretaci, v níž je křesťanství chápáno jako univerzální duchovní událost, nikoli jako náboženský systém v úzkém smyslu. Křesťanství jako mystická skutečnost je proto považováno za klíčový úvod do Steinerova pojetí duchovních dějin i do jeho celkové anthroposofické koncepce.
