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.
Akadémia 2: Cesta za slávou
Som Leo. Obyčajný chalan z malého mesta v Ohiu. A dokázal som nemožné – dostal som sa do mládežníckeho tímu Premier League!
Lenže… zatiaľ to nie je žiadna sláva.
Nie som hviezda. Ani len nehrám v základnej zostave. A môj tím? Úplne najhorší v lige. Fakt! Sme takí slabí, že ak sa tento rok nezlepšíme, majiteľ nás rozpustí – a to by som sa so svojím snom stať sa profesionálnym futbalistom mohol rovno rozlúčiť.
Ako keby to nestačilo, musím ešte zvládať školu, nájsť si nových kamošov v cudzej krajine, vychádzať s trénerom, ktorý ma očividne nemá rád, a prežiť celú túto náročnú sezónu ďaleko od domova.
Lenže ja viem, že na to mám, a chcem tímu pomôcť.
Podarí sa mi všetko zvládnuť a na tejto najväčšej futbalovej scéne ukázať, čo je vo mne?
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.
„Vzala mou ruku a začala vpichovat číslo 55908. Nepíchala mě vlastně do ruky, ale do srdce – tak jsem to cítila. Od té chvíle jsem přestala být člověkem.“
The Brightness
Parties and weddings, messy hookups and marred friendships, art and love and grief—The Brightness follows the electric, chaotic, everything-can-happen lives of Pella and her best friend, Irma, as they fumble their way out of sleepy, Midwestern Westish College and out into a larger world that will upend their connection and everything they thought they understood about their own place within it. At 27, Pella’s life looks settled: she’s a recent college grad, engaged to Mike, her longtime boyfriend, and helping her friend Owen pull off his own destination wedding on Block Island. But over that wild wedding weekend, Pella’s past and present collide spectacularly, blowing up her plans and sending her spiraling toward an unplanned future in New York City. Meanwhile, back at Westish College, 21-year-old Irma’s involvement with a politically charged prank — one that has roiled both the campus and the world beyond— threatens to derail her brilliant future. As Irma and Pella cycle through possibilities and identities, both navigate the heights and depths of passion and ambition, and the incalculable wages of love and loss.
Missing Molly
From bestselling author Natalie Barelli comes a dark psychological thriller about a cold case, the newspaper investigating it, and the woman for whom it all hits a little too close to home…
Millions are searching for the truth. Only she knows it's all a lie.
Rachel Holloway has built a quiet life in London. She has a daughter, a partner, and a steady job at the local paper. Then the paper launches a true-crime podcast, and their first case is the disappearance of twelve-year-old Molly Forster, missing since her family's brutal murder twelve years ago.
But Rachel knows exactly what happened to Molly. Because Rachel is Molly. She's spent years hiding from the killer who destroyed her family, and now her own podcast is about to expose her and the truth she's buried.
As the story goes viral, new evidence emerges that confirms what Rachel has known all along: The wrong man was convicted.
The real killer is still free.
And he's coming for Rachel.

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“.
