Derek Daly
A blend of entertaining storytelling, brutal honesty and high drama, Irish racing driver Derek Daly’s memoir is a page-turner. His meteoric rise from a modest background in Dublin to the heights of Formula 1 is a story of relentless determination and unbridled talent, but when he reached motor racing’s pinnacle — ultimately with the top-notch Williams team in 1982 — his success story started to unravel, partly because of numerous and sometimes horrifyingly spectacular crashes often caused by car breakages. He made a clean break and went to America, where he raced Indycars and sports cars before metamorphosing into a hugely popular TV commentator, interviewer and pundit. Now, in his own words, he has put the entire rollercoaster of his life into a spellbinding autobiography that all racing fans will love. Key content• After starting out with a secondhand Formula Ford car bought from Eddie Jordan, Derek laboured in an Australian iron-ore mine for six months to earn the money to buy a more competitive racing car. • The plan worked and he became Irish Formula Ford Champion in 1975, then went to England and won numerous races in 1976, including the prestigious Formula Ford Festival. • Stepping up to Formula 3 in 1977, he continued his winning ways and became British Formula 3 Champion driving for larger-than-life Irish team owner Derek McMahon. • Two seasons in Formula 2 brought more successes, including three victories, but early attempts to break into Formula 1 were mired in frustration with teams that struggled, namely Hesketh and Ensign. • Tyrrell offered better prospects for 1980 but some big crashes — notably at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix — and numerous car failures blighted his season. • Derek finally landed a top seat for 1982, with Williams, only to find that sub-standard treatment and the team’s fading competitiveness prevented him from fulfilling his potential. • Making a dramatic change in his life, he went to race in America in Indycars, but a huge accident at Michigan in 1984 — his car crashed into the perimeter wall at 217mph and disintegrated — left him severely injured and facing a long recovery. • A racing swansong came in sports cars, with Jaguar at Le Mans and Nissan in America, the latter bringing consecutive victories in the 12 Hours of Sebring, in 1990 and 1991. • Staying in America, Derek went on to a decades-long career as a motorsport TV broadcaster alongside business ventures and keynote speaking.
Simpsonovi: Komiksové safari
Springfieldu hrozí potopa, a zatímco Flanders staví archu, Líza svolá partu k opravě vetché hráze; ale proč dělá Homer přesčasy jako blázen? A proč zakládá pštrosí farmu, když před prací kolem domu obvykle strká hlavu do písku? Ani Bart se, jak známo, na zahradě nepředře, ale jakmile začne dojit kačky z travní sekačky, brzy padne kosa na kámen. Sekáč býval kdysi i děda Simpson, ale dnes by jeho historky umořily vola, natož Homera. Když však Abe najde vděčné posluchače a adoptivní rodinu u Flandersů, má jeho pravý syn moře starostí s tím, jak ho získat zpět. Moře a dávné křivdy a hoře hrají hlavní roli i v napínavé bitvě dvou starých mořských vlků, kteří si to ovšem nerozdají šavlemi, nýbrž vařečkami. Vařit se bude i v řízném příběhu plném hořkosti a nakvašenosti, když Homer vypění poté, co se jeho svět otřese v základech: Duff již nechutná jako dřív! Je jen na Homerovi, aby vyčistil ten Augiášův chlív.

Rosslyn Chapel Revealed
‘Like Rosslyn itself, this book is rather delicious and I would urge anyone with an interest in the Scottish religious sensibility to read it.’ - Gerard CarruthersRosslyn Chapel Revealed offers the reader an increased understanding and respect for one of Europe’s finest pre-Reformation buildings. Rosslyn Chapel, with its foundations in the world of nature, still points bravely to the heavens. That there is mystery at Rosslyn Chapel, there can be no doubt. But it is not the mystery of the esoteric Gnostic variety, available only to the initiated few. Instead, it is knowledge, accessible to all, of the dynamic intertwining of the created world with the impulse towards self-fulfilment. Rosslyn Chapel Revealed shows that the chapel is first and foremost a Christian building, constructed in the traditions of the pre-Reformation Church for the celebration in word, gesture and music of the Divine Office and of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ suffered on his cross for the salvation of the human race. The stunning beauty of the chapel, its unexpected delicacy and the uninhibited humour of its stone carvings, which have drawn visitors in such avid numbers from all over the world, are a tribute to the honesty and validity of the religious experience to be found within its ancient walls, in a breathtaking setting of valley and river that is older than time. ‘This lovely book is a counter to some of the silliness of recent years … an excellent and comprehensive introduction and a super memoir for anyone who has visited.’ - Maria Western, Inspires

Dopisy z Bihoru
Mladý maďarský kaplan přichází koncem 19. století na faru v Nové Huti. Přichází na jaře z kvetoucí nížiny a stoupaje s vozem po nekonečné klikaté cestě nachází v kopcích krajinu dosud sevřenou sněhem, bičovanou ledovými větry. Ocitne se mezi uctivě odtažitými, roztomile primitivními Slováky, kterým nerozumí jediného slova: nepraktický intelektuál z města si přišel odbýt své vyhnanství, v němž je k zoufalství stejně blízko jako k žertu s některou z mála spřízněných duší.
Maďarský román v dopisech z roku 1897 v moderním překladu Adély Gálové je nejstarším souvislým vyprávěním o slovenské krajině Nové Huti (?inteu) v dnešním rumunském Bihoru a o jejích obyvatelích – Slovácích, Maďarech, Židech a dalších. Adéla Gálová za překlad získala tvůrčí ocenění Obce překladatelů za rok 2020.
