Z milosti Himalájí
Cesta sa nekončí tam, kde utíchajú moje kroky. Pokračuje v mojom vnútri.
Nebola horolezkyňa. Nebola športovkyňa. Len niekto, koho prenasledovala jediná otázka: „Načo tam išiel?“
Simone Smolinska sa vydáva do Himalájí, aby sa priblížila k obrom, no cesta čoskoro začne znamenať oveľa viac než len hory, priesmyky a základné tábory. Rednúci vzduch, nekonečné schody, vyčerpanie, strach aj prijatie vlastného tempa sa stávajú zrkadlami, v ktorých spoznáva samu seba.
Od láskavého ticha Bhutánu cez nemilosrdnú krásu okruhu Annapurny až po základný tábor – každý krok ju učí pokore, vytrvalosti, dôvere a tomu, že nie všetko treba dobyť.
Z milosti Himalájí je intímny a úprimný cestopis o vonkajších aj vnútorných oporách, príbeh ženy, ktorá nehľadala vrchol, no napriek tomu v sebe našla niečo dôležité.

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Described as ‘magnificent’ by the Good Book Guide, this lavishly illustrated monograph traces Cartier-Bresson’s development as a photographer, activist, journalist and artist.This is an indispensable work for lovers of photography and admirers of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004), whose influence continues to endure so powerfully today. In addition to some of his best-known photographs, here are many seldom seen or unpublished images, and some rarities in colour as well as black and white. His work embraced art, politics, revolution and war. But more powerful than any of these overarching themes was his evident concern for the human individual at every social level. Cartier-Bresson’s observations of the effects of poverty and revolution around the world led directly to his pioneering photojournalism, and his co-founding of Magnum Photos. He also became renowned for his penetrating portraits of the most prominent figures of his time: Cartier-Bresson’s biographer Pierre Assouline called him ‘the eye of the century’.
Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka za světové války
Mám velice rád toho dobrého vojáka Švejka, a podávaje jeho osudy za světové války, jsem přesvědčen, že vy všichni budete sympatizovat s tím skromným, nepoznaným hrdinou.“ Tak uvádí roku 1921 Jaroslav Hašek (1883–1923) na scénu onu svéráznou a výřečnou postavu demaskující absurditu války a byrokracie, jejíž příhody „v zázemí“ i „na frontě“ znají čtenáři po celém světě. Po nedávném nečekaném nálezu rukopisu Haškova románu proto vycházejí Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka v aktualizované edici, doplněné detailně zpracovanými vysvětlivkami a s analytickým komentářem Jiřího Holého.
