Masky bohů 3 - Mýty Západu
Kniha Mýty Západu původně vyšla v roce 1964 jako třetí svazek monumentální čtyřdílné série Masky bohů a stejně jako nová vydání předchozích dílů, Primitivní mytologie a Orientální mytologie, i tato kniha začleňuje aktuální poznatky z archeologie, antropologie a psychologie. V tomto svazku autor sleduje mytologické základy západních náboženství a proměnu, k níž došlo při přechodu od mytologií zaměřených na ženský princip k patriarchálním náboženským systémům. Ukazuje, jak kdysi ústřední postavení plodné bohyně Země – matky a dárkyně života – postupně nahradily kulty mužských božstev spojených s mocí, válkou a zákonem. Autor zde zkoumá mytologické kořeny judaismu, křesťanství, islámu a zoroastrismu a sleduje jejich vzájemné ovlivňování v průběhu dějin.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsFirst introduced in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales reconceived Spider-Man as African American and Latinx, and his debut marked a new direction in the saga of a beloved character. Miles Morales as Spider-Man is a coming-of-age tale of a smart, affable teen coming into his power. From his reluctance to becoming a super hero to his desire to help others, to the rocky balance between his school life and super hero responsibilities, Miles is always at the precipice of making tough decisions—choices whose consequences are as weighted in his personal life as they often are for the survival of the world. Illustrated with full-color art, Ytasha L. Womack’s entry in the Marvel Age of Comics looks at the hugely successful reimagining of one of the most popular super hero characters of all time.
Invitation to Faith
In a world where life’s problems can feel overwhelming, how can we live with peace of min? o you ever wonder:• Why doesn’t life go the way I want?• What awaits us after death?• If God or Buddha exists, why do wars and disasters still occur?“Life is a workbook of problems to be solved,” teaches Ryuho Okawa—renowned spiritual leader and best-selling author. Just as the lotus blooms beautifully in muddy water, we too can allow our inner flower to blossom, no matter the hardships we face. God or Buddha never burdens us with a load heavier than we can bear. The path to enlightenment involves not only attaining wisdom by solving life’s problems but also cultivating a selfless, pure love for others—grounded in the knowledge that this world is not the only world, and that life continues beyond death. This transparent, unconditional love reflects the teachings of Hermes, the Greek god of prosperity and mysticism, who taught that true love should be as pure and transparent as the wind, asking nothing in return. Bridging the Eastern Buddhist path of enlightenment with the selfless love of Western Hermetic thought, Invitation to Faith presents a contemporary, universal faith—one that unites belief in a higher power with daily self-improvement. It encourages us to live in a world of Truth, goodness, and beauty.

Her husband, Ben, will do anything to help Frances regain her vivacity and sense of purpose. So when Frances suggests that they open their marriage, Ben complies.

They do all of this together, as a team. But when Ben finds himself falling in love with another woman, just as Frances realizes she's ready to settle down and have a baby, they are forced to confront the consequences of their experiment.

The Wise and Their Works
The Wise and Their Works celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Great Exhibition in 2026. The men who inspired the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Henry Cole, Sir Robert Peel and above all Prince Albert himself - were at the centre of an extraordinary combination of manufacturing, commercial skill and political vision which made Victorian Britain an unparalleled success story. In this celebratory book, A. N. Wilson examines the legacy they left behind: their idealistic beliefs about free trade, decency and parliamentary democracy, and their ultimate vision of the human race at peace with prosperity spreading, while poverty and warfare were consigned to history. While their loftier ambitions may not have come to pass, these enterprising men did leave behind a little known but hugely influential organisation, the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, which still supports industry, science and art in the UK. Skillfully delving into this rich and fascinating history, Wilson takes us on a journey into the heart of the progressive Victorian dream, and where it has left us today.

ALLIE ROUSSEAU VEZETŐ BALERINA, AKI HOZZÁSZOKOTT A NYOMÁSHOZ.
Az anyja árgus tekintete mindenhová követi, a cél pedig mindig ugyanaz: tökéletesség, bármi áron. Amikor egy sérülés miatt veszélybe kerül minden, amiért annyi áldozatot hozott, Allie visszatér a családi nyaralóba, hogy felépüljön. Ott azonban utolérik az emlékek, amiket próbált eltemetni, és félő, hogy magukkal rántják.
Hudson Ellis a parti őrség vízimentőjeként pontosan tudja, hogy pár másodperc bizonytalanság jelentheti a különbséget élet és halál között. Mindig büszke volt rá, hogy jókor van jó helyen, főleg, ha Allie Rousseau-ról van szó… egészen addig az estéig, amikor elindult alapkiképzésre. Élete legnagyobb hibája után a titkai örökre elválasztják a nőtől, akire a következő lélegzeténél is jobban vágyik.
Amikor Hudson unokahúga, aki elkeseredetten keresi a szülőanyját, bekopogtat Allie ajtaján, a lány lehetetlen helyzetbe kerül. Allie és Hudson múltja és jelene végtelenül szövevényes. A fonal, ami annyi évvel azelőtt összekötötte őket, szétfoszlott ugyan, de az igazság újra egymáshoz csatolhatja őket, vagy örökre éket verhet közéjük.
A Negyedik szárny rajongva szeretett szerzőjének új, kortárs romantikus regénye a nyárról, amikor az ünnepelt balett-táncos hazatér, és szembenéz mindazzal, amit maga mögött hagyott: családi titkokkal, mély megbánással és a férfival, akit sosem tudott elfelejteni.

Recover Me
Getting clean was just the beginning... DJ Fat Tony has lived a thousand lives: celebrated nightlife icon, survivor of decades-long addiction to drugs, alcohol and sex, and a LGBTQ activist who navigated trauma, abuse, and the AIDS epidemic. In Recover Me, Tony charts his journey from the hard graft of addiction to self-acceptance, affirming that recovery is not a destination but an ongoing commitment to accountability. Tony's story is marked by setbacks - dishonesty, victimhood, toxic relationships, and relapses into old behaviours - but also by moments of breakthrough and growth. He learns to navigate the complexities of early recovery, the allure of chaos and drama, and the necessity of honest self-inventory. Mixed with stories that are darkly humorous and oftentimes painful, Tony also gives advice on how to make amends, rebuild family relationships, and develop healthy boundaries, both with others and yourself. Written with expertise from integrative therapist Tara Day, the book offers therapeutic insights and reframes addiction through a trauma-informed, psychological lens to explore the nature of addiction and the lifelong process of healing. This is recovery with all the mess left in. No twelve-step sainthood, no empty promises. Just the truth about what it takes to break cycles, build boundaries, and find your own version of happy ever after - even if you still think you don't deserve it. For anyone battling addiction, shame, or just the weight of their own story, Recover Me shows that recovery doesn't end, but deeper healing is always possible.
Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje
Mi történik akkor, amikor nincs senki, aki higgyen benned - csak te magad?
Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje - Amikor senki sem hisz benned egy mélyen személyes, igaz történetekre épülő könyv, amely azt vizsgálja, hogyan válhat az önmagunkba vetett hit életünk legfontosabb belső támaszává. Halasi Éva Thea saját életútján keresztül mesél azokról az időszakokról, amikor nem volt védőháló, nem volt biztos kapaszkodó, mégis újra és újra a belső hívásra hallgatva lépett tovább.
Egyedül megtett utazások, lehetetlennek tűnő szakmai és életbeli váltások, idegen országok, nyelvek és kultúrák tárulnak elénk - valamint az a folyamat, amikor az ember elveszíti, majd tudatosan újra felépíti az önmagába vetett hitét. A könyv nem kínál kész recepteket vagy hangzatos ígéreteket, helyette őszinte felismeréseket, megélt tapasztalatokat és csendes, mély erejű tanulságokat ad át.
Ez a kötet többek között azokhoz szól, akik életük fordulópontján állnak, akik egyedül érzik magukat az útjukon, vagy szeretnének visszatalálni belső stabilitásukhoz. Finom emlékeztető arra, hogy nem a körülményeink határoznak meg bennünket.
Etika mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu
Lidské jednání je spoluutvářeno teoretickými koncepty a názorovým systémem, který stojí v pozadí konkrétních etických postojů. Studie se soustředí na problematiku mezikulturního a mezináboženského soužití a zkoumá, co v této oblasti může nabídnout teologie a její pohled na některé podstatné společenské otázky (obavy z proměn společnosti, kulturní a náboženské rozrůzněnosti, migrace). Autorka vymezuje v teologické perspektivě základní pojmy a paradigmata pro interpretaci vztahů mezi různými kulturami (kultura, náboženství, multikulturalita, interkulturalita, dialog) a zkoumá vliv klíčových kategorií křesťanské epistemologie (trojičně-christologická výpověď o transcendenci, práce s reciprocitou a diferencí ve vztahu, kategorie agapé a kenósis) na utváření etických pravidel mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu.
