Domek pana Stilburyho a jiné báchorky
Domek pana Stilburyho je próza o nesamozřejmosti rodinného štěstí. Roku 2026 prvně vychází v definitivní verzi. S ní trojice romantických hororů Duel, Dneska ráno výměna a Bagdád na Temži jako hold Robertu Louisi Stevensonovi, Edvardu Valentovi a Richardu Mathesonovi. První kluci na Marsu a další příběh jsou záměrně naivistní a parafrázují dobrodružství Štaflíka a Špagetky Aleny Munkové (*24. 9. 1926) a příhody Velkého Piráta a Šilhouna Vojtěcha Steklače. Ivo Fencl svobodně vzdal poctu milované dětské četbě, a jak míní klasik, „duše tříletého zůstane nezměněna do sta let“.
Původní moudrost
Hluboko v malajsijské horské džungli žijí Senoiové, kteří se ocitají na pokraji vymření, ačkoli jejich způsob života dost možná představuje právě tu podobu existence, jež dokáže nám všem zajistit přežití. Předindustriální, předzemědělská a polokočovná společnost Senoiů žije bez aut a mobilních telefonů, bez hodin a časových plánů uprostřed svěží zeleně, kde není prostor pro spěch a obavy, soutěživost a podezřívavost. Tito původní obyvatelé — stejně jako řada jiných domorodých skupin — se přitom dovedou s neobyčejnou přesností napojit na energie, emoce a záměry vycházející z místa, v němž žijí, a z živých bytostí, které jej obývají, s důvěrou se nechávají touto intuicí vést a využívají ji při každodenním rozhodování.
Psycholog Robert Wolff (1933–2016) mezi Senoii pobýval, učil se jejich jazyk, jedl s nimi a spal v jejich chatrčích. Wolff si Senoie zamiloval a obdivoval je za to, v jaké úctě mají ticho, jak důvěřují času, který všechno ukáže a zahojí, a žijí v radosti a přítomném okamžiku. Díky nim si uvědomil, jak dalece jsme se těmto základním hodnotám odcizili.
Původní moudrost je více než jen portrétem mizejícího národa; nastavuje zrcadlo naší vlastní existenci, umožňuje nám nahlédnout, jak moc jsme sešli z cesty intuice a důvěry, která je Senoiům zcela vlastní, a vyzývá nás, abychom v sobě tento druh lidství znovu objevili i v dnešním roztříštěném světě.
Čertova bažina, 2. vydání
Projekt 3x 100 hororů přináší čtenářům ve třech svazcích kompletní soubor všech povídek, které na téma hrůzy, mystiky, záhrobí a nevysvětlitelných záhad Miloslav Švandrlík napsal.
Autorův vynalézavý způsob, jak čtenáře vyděsit či alespoň postrašit, a přitom ho vtipně pobavit, si konzumenti příběhů o upírech, krvelačných monstrech nebo vlkodlacích oblíbili už dávno. Důkazem je mimo jiné i umístění výběru 100 nejlepších hororů v první desítce knih, které si mládež zapsala do čtenářských deníků žáků 9. tříd základních škol.

Ročenka pro filosofii a fenomenologický výzkum 2025
Ročenka pro filosofii a fenomenologický výzkum průběžně přináší studie, experimentální texty a nárysy z oblasti filosofie, fenomenologie a filosofické interpretace slovesného a výtvarného díla.
První studie předvádí romantickou koncepci sférického já básníka a filosofa Novalise.
Druhá studie promýšlí extatičnost a teoretický pohled na ni ve zvoleném díle krásné literatury.
Třetí studie usiluje o střízlivé promyšlení otázky vědomí. K těmto studiím se věcně váže studentský text, ukazující šílenství jako myslitelné, a nikoli nemyslitelné, v raně novověké filosofii. V letošním svazku k tomu přinášíme český překlad původní verze Heideggerovy přednášky „Co je metafyzika?“ a výpověď dlouholetého učitele filosofických seminářů interpretce textu, promýšlející žité setkání s proměnou myšlení.
V srdci Střední Asie
Po třech letech života, práce a cestování v Uzbekistánu, Tádžikistánu, Turkmenistánu a Kyrgyzstánu napsala Nikola Hrušková osobitý deník, který přibližuje realitu v dnešní Střední Asii. Zachycuje každodenní situace a interakce s místními i naplňování cestovatelských snů při projíždění Pamírského traktu, putování uzavřeným Turkmenistánem, zobrazuje tragédii vysychání Aralského jezera nebo všechny ty pestrobarevné orientální bazary a jejich (nejen) gastronomickou nabídku.
Díky osobním zkušenostem a vztahům zprostředkuje čtenářům vhled do nelehkého života žen, smýšlení společnosti, významu náboženství a rodiny. Nechybí návštěvy významných historických míst Hedvábné stezky od Samarkandu až po Chivu, a také nablýskaných metropolí. Snaží se přiblížit osudy otevřených a sdílných lidí a ukázat více do hloubky, jaká je dnešní společnost a život ve Střední Asii, pro nás Evropany často tak naprosto odlišné a nepochopitelné.

The Countess
'Riveting' -- The Times'A triumph' -- David Kynaston'Lively and informative' -- Miranda Seymour'The resurrection of a remarkable woman erased from history' -- Katy Hessel'Extraordinary' -- Peter JonesThe spellbinding true story of Emily Cowper, Regency socialite turned Victorian powerbrokerEmily, Countess Cowper was stubborn, beautiful and intensely ambitious. She took Regency society by storm, captivating famous statesmen and the young Queen Victoria. Born the Hon. Emily Lamb, she was brought up at the centre of glamorous Regency high society with its duels and dissipation. Her godmother was the infamous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and Lord Byron an acolyte and admirer. When her marriage to Earl Cowper soured, she took a string of lovers, eventually taming a rake: the promising, promiscuous Lord Palmerston. Emily's life resembled real life Bridgerton - she even inspired the character Cressida Cowper. But her petticoats and parties belied a steely determination. Yearning for power beyond the ballroom, she used her political genius to engineer the premierships of her brother, Lord Melbourne, and her lover, Lord Palmerston. Once in Downing Street, she acted as chief counsel, speechwriter, press officer and tireless schemer for the Whig cause - from women's rights to the eradication of slavery. By proxy she became one of the most powerful people in England and changed the course of history. But her story has never been told - until now. Written with novelistic richness and extraordinary detail drawn from thousands of intimate letters and journals. The Countess unveils the life of this exceptional woman and offers a new insight into the time in which she lived.
