Císař římský
Jaké bylo vládnout a být ovládán ve starověkém Římě?
„Kniha Císař římský se zabývá fakty i smyšlenkami o vládcích starověkého římského světa a pokládá si otázky, co a z jakých důvodů dělali a proč se jejich příběhy vyprávějí tak extravagantním až bulvárním způsobem. Věnuje se také závažným otázkám moci, korupce a konspirací. Stejně tak ale obrací pozornost i ke každodenním praktickým stránkám jejich života. Co a kde jedli? S kým spali? Jak cestovali?
Na stránkách knihy se seznámíme s řadou lidí, kteří sami císaři nebyli a ani se jimi stát nechtěli, ale umožňovali existenci tohoto systému v říši: s opatrnými aristokraty, otroky-kuchaři, přičinlivými tajemníky, dvorními šašky – a dokonce i s lékařem, který léčil jistého mladého prince ze zánětu mandlí.
Přežití římské říše jakožto systému nedává smysl, pakliže mu vládla řada vyšinutých autokratů. Mě zajímá, jak ony příběhy šílenství vznikly a jak se záležitosti říše doopravdy spravovaly, a také obavy obyvatel Říma, že vláda jeho imperátorů sice není až tak zalitá krví (to očekávali), ale že jde o podivnou a znepokojivou dystopii postavenou na podvodech a klamu.“

Heartbreak Geeks
For fans of 10 Things I hate About You and Better Than the Movies
Aliya and Kabir are rivals, willing to do whatever it takes to be top of the class.
At their elite private school, Kabir is basically royalty. He prides himself on being loved by everyone, teachers included.
Everyone except Aliya, the scholarship student. To her, he represents everything she hates. He’s rich, obnoxious and pokes fun at her at every chance he gets.
When forced to pair up during uni applications, their rivalry intensifies. Tensions build and they must confront their complicated history. Though they’d never admit it now, they were once so much more than enemies. As they spend more time together, Aliya begins to let her guard down with him.
Maybe she doesn’t really hate Kabir – and maybe he doesn’t hate her either?
Or perhaps this is just another one of their games…..

John Berger
An illuminating new life of the peerless thinker, artist and author of Ways of SeeingTom Overton got to know John Berger around 2010, after he gave his archive to the British Library: a kind of homecoming to the city of his birth, after a life lived mostly in self-imposed exile in Switzerland and France. Curious about the origin of a piece of writing or art, Tom would scan something in and email it. Then there’d come a call, very early, very late. ‘Hello? Is that Tom? This is John. John Berger. Can I tell you a story?’ Tom realised he was bringing this archive back into John’s life, peering together through holes in time, remembering things he couldn’t himself. And then, at the beginning of 2017, John died.In this extraordinary new book, Overton explores the life and work of one of the great cultural figures of the last century, who came of age in a world threatened by nuclear apocalypse, and grew old in a world dominated by the idea that human life should be ordered with the logic of profit, always looking forward, never back. Berger’s work reimagined the relationship between art and technology; charted the disappearance of peasants from the world and documented migrant labour; explored with huge compassion the AIDS crisis; was trenchantly opposed to the new world order that emerged in the 1990s and the War on Terror and passionately committed to the Palestinian cause. There were so many different subjects to his work; so many precisely chosen forms. Cutting through the reverence that can build around any writer of his scope of achievement and drawing on both personal memory and a vast and previously unseen trove of material, Overton comes face to face with John Berger, showing the continued importance of a figure, whose work focused on the creating and recreating of communities past and present. For at the centre of this book, above all, is the idea that John Berger wants our company, and we need his.
