Kuchaři smrti - Případy kanibalů v Česku
Jaká tajemství vydal Kohnův mlýn a za čím jezdil do Čech německý „turista“ Huse? Kam zavedla skupinu zločinců středověká pověra o krvi nenarozených dětí? A jaké motivy hnaly vrahy Hojera, Kulíka nebo Čurka k jejich strašlivým činům? Autor investigativně rozkrývá snad nejděsivější formu zločinu – případy spojené s kanibalismem. Z archivů, policejních spisů a ze vzpomínek přímých aktérů vytahuje na stránky knihy příběhy, v nichž pachatelé překročili hranice absolutního tabu.

The City Without Jews : Life and Death in Nazi Vienna
‘A truly major work, both deeply moving and incredibly powerful. A masterpiece of research, structure and writing . . . unforgettable’ - Sir Antony Beevor, bestselling author of Stalingrad'Painful, profound, prescient . . . a magisterial work' - Sonia Purnell, internationally bestselling author of Kingmaker and A Woman of No ImportanceIn 1938, Vienna was the second largest Jewish city in Europe, home to nearly 200,000 Jewish people.By 1946, only a few thousand had survived.In this heart-wrenching story of loss, fear, courage and hope, acclaimed historian Douglas Smith chronicles the Nazi destruction of Jewish Vienna. Drawing on hundreds of long-forgotten voices, from Jews to Nazis to Gentile collaborators and bystanders, The City Without Jews centres on one remarkable person: Mignon Langnas.Watching as nearly every Jew she knew was expropriated, forced to migrate, or deported to the killing fields and death camps in the East, Mignon vividly recorded her world in diaries and letters, creating an indispensably detailed and poignant account of life under Nazi rule. What emerges from the wreckage of a city bent on Jewish eradication is a story like no other – one of betrayal, sacrifice, impossible choices and survivor guilt.

Rowdy Girl
With raw honesty and vulnerability, Rowdy Girl illuminates the realities of animal agriculture through tracing the author’s journey from a poor upbringing to life as the wife of a Texas cattle rancher. Unable to reconcile the cruel realities of her husband Tommy’s business, Renee King-Sonnen begins to question some of society’s most basic assumptions about the animals we eat and the food systems we uphold. These questions spark a profound transformation—and a determination to save the very cattle her husband’s livelihood depends on. The couple’s opposing worldviews lead to escalating conflict, pushing their marriage to the brink. Seeking support, King-Sonnen connects with online vegan communities and launches a secret Facebook diary, The Vegan Journal of a Cattle Rancher’s Wife. With a growing following, she rallies support for an ambitious plan: buy Tommy’s herd, take over the ranch, and transform it into an animal sanctuary. The suspense peaks in December 2014, when Tommy agrees to sell her the cattle for $30,000—if she can raise the funds before they’re sent to slaughter. More than a memoir, Rowdy Girl is a story of spiritual awakening and ethical transformation. It reveals the shared ground between ranchers and vegans—a commitment to compassion, tradition, and sustainability—while challenging the foundations of animal agriculture. Through her deeply personal journey, King-Sonnen invites readers to consider their own relationship with animals, the food they eat, and the possibility of living with greater compassion.

Láskológia
Kníh o vzťahoch je veľa. Táto je však iná...
Romantickú lásku dávame na piedestál, no možno je čas ju zhodiť. Čo ak sú vzťahy s našimi priateľmi, súrodencami či dokonca kolegami krajšie a prínosnejšie než tie s romantickým partnerom?
Práve tieto iné druhy lásky nám môžu v živote priniesť naplnenie, ktoré márne hľadáme. Láska (nie) je veda a všetci jej máme v živote obrovské množstvo, ak vieme, kde ju hľadať a ako sa o ňu starať.
Bestsellerový chorvátsky autor Bruno Šimleša v knihe Láskológia prináša osviežujúci pohľad na vzťahy a odpovedá na otázky ako:
•Naozaj sa protiklady priťahujú?
•Existujú spriaznené duše?
•Prečo podvádzame a dá sa nevera niekedy odpustiť?
•Môžeme milovať našich rodičov, aj keď nám v detstve ublížili?
•...a množstvo ďalších!
Autor odpovedá na otázky jasne a priamo, bez prikrášľovania, ale s veľkou dávkou empatie.
Vďaka tejto knihe si dokážete vybudovať zdravé, šťastné a vášnivé vzťahy nielen v partnerstvách, ale aj v rodine, priateľstvách a v práci. Odhaľuje bežné mylné predstavy a falošné očakávania, ktoré nás rozdeľujú, a ponúka riešenia, ktoré obnovujú dôveru, intimitu a naplnenie.

The New Dark Ages
The world we knew is passing away and nothing will ever be the same again.
Welcome to the post-literate society. Books are dying. Across the world the number of people reading is in free fall. Literacy is declining or stagnating in most developed countries. At universities, students are unable to read the books assigned to them. Addictive digital entertainment technologies have colonised our free time with infantilising ‘slop’. For the first time since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire ushered in the Dark Ages, the golden chain of knowledge linking reader to reader through the centuries is breaking. The decline in reading is the most important cultural shift of our time.The New Dark Ages is an impassioned defence of the written word and an attack on the trivial and meaningless culture of the screen. Drawing on history and classic works of literature and theory, The New Dark Ages argues that reading and writing are essential for innovation, creativity and critical thinking.Above all, the culture of print is essential to the functioning of modern democracies which require their citizens to grapple with ideas at length and in depth. And as print dies, we risk returning to the chaos, tribalism, and rage of a pre-literate society.
