Valódiak voltunk
JP és Dulin évtizedek óta elválaszthatatlan barátok. Amikor JP megtudja, hogy a rák agresszíven visszatért a szervezetébe, Dulin úgy dönt, hogy tartoznak maguknak még egy nagy, utolsó közös kalanddal. Egyhetes buszos túrára indulnak Észak-Amerika Lehetetlenjeihez, a fizika törvényeit meghazudtoló anomáliákhoz és földrajzi csodákhoz, amelyek hét évvel korábban kezdtek felbukkanni, közvetlenül a Bejelentés után, amely felfedte, hogy világunk csupán egy digitális szimuláció.
Az útitársaik 21. századi zarándokok, és mindenkinek megvan a maga oka, amiért részt vesz a túrán: egy apácanő, aki az eltűnt Istent keresi; egy influenszer, aki híressé tenné még meg nem született gyermekét, nehogy kitöröljék a rendszerből; egy csapat szexmániás nyugdíjas, akik úgy élnek, mintha minden nap az utolsó lenne; és egy professzor, aki bőrruhába öltözött szociopaták elől menekül, akik szentírásnak tekintik a Mátrixot.
Az út minden egyes megállója ráadásul különösebb, mint az előző – egy alagút, ahol nem érvényes az idő, egy gejzír, ahol nem hat a gravitáció, egy motivációs szónok avatár tábora –, miközben mindenki a túra ikonikus végállomása, Szellemváros felé száguld, ahol, utazóink tudta nélkül, talán ott vár bennünket a válasz arra, hogy ki működteti a szimulációt.
Daryl Gregory mesteri stílusban írt regénye izgalmas felfedezőút és nagyszerű filozófiai elmélkedés arról, mi számít valódinak még egy mesterséges világban is.

American Struggle
In a polarized era, history can become a subject of political contention. Many see America as perfect; many others argue that the national experiment is fundamentally flawed. The truth, Meacham shows, likely lies between these extremes. America has had shining hours, and also dark ones.
In American Struggle, Jon Meacham illuminates the nation’s complicated past. This rich and diverse collection covers a wide spectrum of history, from 1619 to the twenty-first century, with primary-source documents that take us back to critical moments in which Americans fought over the meaning and the direction of the national experiment. From the founders to Lincoln to Obama, from Andrew Jackson to Theodore Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan, from Seneca Falls to the March on Washington, this chorus—sometimes discordant and always fascinating—tells the story of the country and of its people. As clashes over liberty and slavery, inclusion and exclusion, play out, these voices, brilliantly framed by Meacham’s singular commentary, remind us that contentious citizenship and fair-minded observations are essential to bringing about the more perfect union envisioned in the Preamble to the Constitution, which Frederick Douglass called a “glorious liberty document.”
Conflict is nothing new in our democracy; rather, as Meacham and these texts show, tensions are inherent, stubborn, and perennial. And American Struggle teaches us anew that to know what has come before, to watch as long-running disputes rise and fall, is to be armed against despair.

Ladies Almanack
A “striking lesbian manifesto and a deft parody” by the acclaimed author of Nightwood. (—Library Journal)
Blending fiction, myth, and revisionary parody, Ladies Almanack is a brilliant modernist composition and arguably the most audacious lesbian text of its time. While the book pokes fun at the wealthy Paris expatriates who were Barnes'' literary contemporaries and remains controversial today, it seems to have delighted its cast of characters, who were also the book’s first audience. Arranged by month, it records the life and loves of Dame Evangeline Musset in a robust style taken from Shakespeare and Robert Burton''s Anatomy of Melancholy. Published for the first time in decades, this edition features Barnes’ original woodcut illustrations and a new introduction by Sarah Schulman.

The Reasons Teachers Stay
A research-based guide uncovering what teachers say keeps them in their schools—and how leaders can sustain them The Reasons Teachers Stay offers a powerful new perspective on the urgent issue of teacher retention. While national headlines focus on why so many teachers leave, Douglas B. Larkin and Suzanne Poole Patzelt flip the question to ask: What makes teachers stay? Larkin and Patzelt’s findings can inform the practice of administrators, school leaders, and teachers in creating supportive work environments within K–12 school districts. Drawing on a six-year longitudinal study of US schools, districts, and communities with high rates of teacher retention, the work reveals that sustaining effective teachers in their jobs requires more than just a satisfactory working environment and incentives. Larkin and Patzelt find that teachers are retained when an interrelated set of conditions, including a manageable teaching load, a degree of autonomy, adequate compensation, and supportive relationships with colleagues, are in place to meet their needs. They present their findings using the teacher embeddedness framework to show how fit, interpersonal connections, and school-based/community assets matter more than previously understood. Engaging case studies and interviews with teachers and administrators throughout the book illustrate these concepts in action. The work ends with practical recommendations to enact key tenets of the framework in schools, such as establishing mentorship and induction programs; fostering teacher agency, autonomy, and protection; and providing strong support for teachers of color.
Facundo a primitivo
Když tehdy v noci přitáh Jorge s tim, že někdo sejmul Julia, všichni mysleli, že si dělá prdel. Jenže nedělal. Byl to pekelně zkurvenej tah, zařvalo při něm pár našich a vo kejhák přišli i jiný. Moh sem bejt mrtvej taky. Ale nejsem. Bylo to jak posranej skok na liáně, co sme si ale nestihli přikurtovat k hnátě. Když na to dneska myslim, mám dojem, že se to celý vlastně stalo někomu jinýmu.
Možná vám to bude celý připadat jak vycucaný z řiti, ale něco takovýho se může stát leda tady v týhle díře světa, kde se věci dějou tak, že nezbejvá než kroutit škeblí. Ale nečekejte zas žádný zázraky. Lidi si furt myslej, že se tu umíme na požádání vznášet kus nad zemí a běžně se rodíme s prasečí voháňkou zaraženou do prdele. To se ale kurva pletou.
To s těma vocasama prostě neni pravda.

Další svazek edice Deset představuje tvorbu mladé úspěšné autorky Anny Krištofíkové, studentky ateliéru kresby AVU. Anna Krištofíková (*1999) ve své tvorbě pracuje s motivem autoportrétu coby nástrojem sebeanalýzy a zkoumání vnitřních krajin duše. Symbolistní poetika metafor masek, klíčů, zámků a nočních motýlů rozehrává důmyslné psychologické rébusy, a zároveň tvoří soukolí melancholických vizí a snů, které je možno vykládat nejen coby výtvarné objekty, ale i jako filozofické alegorie autorčiny vlastní složité kosmologie. Krištofíková nám ve svých dílech připomíná naši vlastní fenomenologickou omylnost a odhrnuje oponu iluzorní reality vnímané prostřednictvím subjektivních mentálních reprezentací.
The Beast - Wicked Villains 4
Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men. Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence.
Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other. Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways. In the end, I couldn’t choose, and I lost them both.
Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family—even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. The three of us.
Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. When playing games of power, happily ever after isn’t a priority.
Not even for me. Especially not for me.

Škoda Octavia: The Story of a Czechoslovakian Automotive IconStep into the remarkable history of Czechoslovakian car design through the lens of the Škoda Octavia – a rare Eastern European automobile that stood shoulder to shoulder with Western contemporaries like the Ford Anglia and Triumph Herald. First launched in 1959, the Octavia became a symbol of mass car ownership in Czechoslovakia, with over 360,000 units rolling off the production line. Crafted from quality materials and engineered with precision, the Octavia quickly earned a reputation for reliability, economy, and performance, making it a trusted companion for countless families. Despite political obstacles, including interference from the Communist Party, Škoda’s engineers delivered a vehicle that not only met everyday needs but also made a mark in motorsport – claiming Monte Carlo Rally victories from 1961 to 1963. Beyond the racetrack, the Octavia’s technical brilliance and durability cemented its place as a national icon. It continued to excel in domestic rallies, often outperforming formidable rivals like the Russian Lada. Richly illustrated with photographs, engineering drawings, and technical tables, the story offers an in-depth look at the Octavia’s design, political backdrop, and enduring legacy – an essential read for classic car enthusiasts and anyone captivated by Eastern European automotive heritage.
Climate Justice
The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of and what it means. If you're injuring someone, you should stop and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how 'choice engines,' informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the 'social cost of carbon,' the most important number in climate change debates and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.
