O pevném stisku koaly
Hra má v životě nemocného dítěte nezastupitelné místo. Dokáže přinést úlevu a pocit bezpečí, odpoutat pozornost od bolesti a strachu, probouzet radost a otevírat prostor pro sdílení tam, kde slova nestačí. Přesto se na ni v čase nemoci často zapomíná.
Tato kniha je průvodcem pro rodiče i profesionály, kteří provázejí děti náročným obdobím – od běžné virózy přes hospitalizaci po úrazu až po život s vážným onemocněním. Srozumitelně vysvětluje, proč je hra v těchto chvílích tak důležitá, a přináší řadu konkrétních aktivit využitelných doma, v nemocnici, hospici nebo venku na procházce. Zároveň ukazuje, jak být dítěti nablízku s respektem, vnímavostí a empatií.
Na stránkách knihy najdete přes devadesát námětů na hry a aktivity pro chvíle s nemocnými dětmi. Text doprovázejí hravé ilustrace Michaela Váchy, které pomáhají prosvětlit i náročnější okamžiky.
Pro všechny, kdo hledají cesty, jak dítě v těžké situaci podpořit a jak mu i v nemoci dopřát to nejdůležitější: možnost zůstat dítětem.
Paradiso
On the hottest day of one of the hottest summers anyone has ever known, young journalist Federico Desideri is sent on an apparently routine assignment; to snatch an interview with Italy’s latest Oscar winning film director. But in Rome. Far from the comforts of his native Milan. When the director turns out to be elusive, and the Romans as rough as their reputation, Federico falls in with Barry Volpicelli, the rumoured inspiration behind the winning movie’s lead character - a seductive, fast-talking, America-obsessed rogue, and instead of finding his interviewee, he finds himself in Paradiso—Barry’s crumbling country estate on the Lazio coast, with an eccentric cast of inhabitants who seem frozen in time. Alan Bennett meets Fellini at a shabby, Italian White Lotus in this novel which is a satirical bildungsroman through the nature of illusion, escapism and the enduring myth of the Eternal City. As Federico navigates the absurdities, passions, and dangers of this apparent paradise, it starts to look more and more like purgatory, and he begins to question how he can find his way out.

Mystik hmoty
Jezuita a paleontolog Pierre Teilhard de Chardin je autorem jedné z nejodvážnějších křesťanských vizí 20. století. Po většinu života narážel na odpor církevních autorit a značná část jeho díla mohla vyjít teprve posmrtně. Teilhard chápe svět jako otevřený proces, do něhož je člověk plně vtažen a za jehož další podobu nese spoluodpovědnost. Evoluce pro něj není jen vesmírný děj, ale také pohyb dějin a ducha, jehož osobním středem je Kristus. Jeho představa sjednocování v různosti je naléhavým odkazem pro dobu válek a rozdělených společností.

Land Is Kin
Honorable Mention: Best First book in the History of Religions Responding to Vine Deloria, Jr.’s call for all people to “become involved” in the struggle to protect Indigenous sacred sites, Dana Lloyd’s Land Is Kin proposes a rethinking of sacred sites, and a rethinking of even land itself. Deloria suggested using the principle of religious freedom, but this principle has failed Indigenous peoples for decades. Lloyd argues that religious freedom fails Indigenous claimants because settler law creates a tension between two competing rights—one party’s religious freedom and another party’s property rights. In this contest, the right of property will always win. Through an analysis of the 1988 US Supreme Court case Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association, which she interprets as a case about sovereignty and the meaning of land, Lloyd proposes a multilayered understanding of land and the different roles it can simultaneously play. Rejecting the binary logic of sacred religion versus secular property, Lloyd uses the legal dispute over the High Country—an area of the Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California sacred to the Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa Indigenous nations—to show that there are at least five different, but not equally valid, ways to understand land in the Lyng case: home, property, sacred site, wilderness, and kin. To protect the High Country, the Yurok filed a religious freedom lawsuit but then proceeded to describe the land as their home in court. They lobbied for protecting the High Country through a wilderness designation even as they continued to argue that they had been managing it for centuries. They have purchased large parcels of ancestral land and also declare the land their kin, a relationship that ostensibly excludes the possibility of ownership. Land Is Kin demonstrates the complexity of land in contemporary religious, political, and legal discourse. By drawing on Indigenous perspectives on the land as kin, Lloyd points toward a framework that shifts sovereignty away from binary oppositions—between property and sacred site, between the federal government and Native nations—towards seeing the land itself as sovereign.
The Land and its People
In The Land and Its People, David Sedaris investigates what it means to be a traveller, a brother, a lifelong friend. Trying on the role of carer after his boyfriend Hugh's hip-replacement surgery, he both succeeds and fails. He covers ground with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck tire. An ambivalent Duolingo bot becomes his unlikely confidante as he attempts to describe his family in a foreign language. Ever adding to his list of 'Countries I Have Been To,' he rides a horse named Tequila in Guatemala, buys a bespoke priest's cassock in Vatican City, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo.
Time takes its toll: Scrolling through his address book, he counts those he couldn't bear to outline and realizes how many are already gone. He is bitten by a dog and insulted by a wee train passenger. A woman on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn't. It's easy to agree with the lady waving a sign that reads, 'Enough is Enough.' And yet, life holds much to delight in: the massive testicles of a ram, a trip abroad with his sisters, a really excellent reptile video, a pair of well-made cotton underpants.
Throughout these essays - at once acerbic and tender, playful and profound - Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open, observing with warmth and curiosity our fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.
Zázemí pro ušáka
Novinka oceňovaného básníka Milana Děžinského (nar. 1974), držitele ceny Magnesia Litera za sbírky Obcházení ostrova, je žánrově netypická. Tvoří ji rozsáhlá mozaika kratších próz, v nichž se prolíná bizarní s každodenním, dějinné s intimním, groteskní s tragickým. Autor sestavuje svou knihu z příběhů nalezených, vyslechnutých i zcela osobních — a vytváří tak obraz světa, který se nám ukazuje ve své absurditě i křehkosti. Útržky internetových historek, fragmenty dávných osudů i okamžiky zdánlivě banálního života dohromady tvoří mnohovrstevnatou zprávu o našem bytí… Stalin pěstuje exotické rostliny, kamion hoří na dálnici a někdo sní o smrti ve sněhu. Žena žije v reklamní ceduli na střeše supermarketu a chlapec umí předvídat góly. A taky je tu medvěd, který zkouší hrát na piano, a tak dále. Z prostěradla se zvedá prach, v kuchyni vám kdosi strčí vosu mezi stehna a králíček zoufale hledá něžného majitele. Hravé i temné, na každý pád však inspirativní čtení.
Murder by Design
In a world carefully constructed for murder, solving crimes takes a keen mind and eye in a witty, clever, and fresh reinvention of the whodunit by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg. Edison Bixby is wealthy, handsome, and, due to a traumatic brain injury, impulsively rude. He’s also a brilliant insurance investigator who solves baffling crimes by figuring out how the design of the man-made world around us makes them possible. Enter Wally Nash: a struggling actor hired to keep Bixby from offending everyone he meets. Their first case together looks like a simple accident. Caroline Crowley took a nasty fall down a staircase at a shopping mall in front of dozens of witnesses. Video clearly shows the deadly misstep. But Bixby is certain she was murdered by design, subtly manipulated into causing her own demise. The mall itself made the crime intentional, if not inevitable. Now Bixby must prove his outrageous theory before a very cunning killer gets others on his hit list to murder themselves, too.

Birthing Romans
How Romans coped with the anxieties and risks of childbirthAcross the vast expanse of the Roman Empire, anxieties about childbirth tied individuals to one another, to the highest levels of imperial politics, even to the movements of the stars. Birthing Romans sheds critical light on the diverse ways pregnancy and childbirth were understood, experienced, and managed in ancient Rome during the first three centuries of the Common Era. In this beautifully written book, Anna Bonnell Freidin asks how inhabitants of the Roman Empire—especially women and girls—understood their bodies and constructed communities of care to mitigate and make sense of the risks of pregnancy and childbirth. Drawing on medical texts, legal documents, poetry, amulets, funerary art, and more, she shows how these communities were deeply human yet never just human. Freidin demonstrates how patients and caregivers took their place alongside divine and material agencies to guard against the risks inherent to childbearing. She vividly illustrates how these efforts and vital networks offer a new window onto Romans’ anxieties about order, hierarchy, and the individual’s place in the empire and cosmos. Unearthing a risky world that is both familiar and not our own, Birthing Romans reveals how mistakes, misfortunes, and interventions in childbearing were seen to have far-reaching consequences, reverberating across generations and altering the course of people’s lives, their family histories, and even the fate of an empire.
The Rainshadow Orphans
The first novel in a dazzling epic fantasy trilogy inspired by Japanese folklore and Studio Ghibli, set within a mythical archipelago brimming with dragons and Sun Spirits, high-tech hackers and bubble tea. Life is hard for the inhabitants of Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where they are terrorised by an underground criminal organisation known as the Lucky Crows. Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are a family, bonded through loyalty if not blood, who live outside the law and who are seeking revenge for the murder of their beloved ‘aunt’ Reiko. Haru is the son of the Emperor, destined to one day rule over the Archipelago and uphold his mother’s ignoble legacy, but he is more interested in making friends with the magical Sun Spirits it seems only he can see. Theo, forced to leave his homeland, is a reluctant foot-soldier for the Lucky Crows. He doesn’t want to be a gangster, but as an illegal immigrant to the city, his choices are severely limited. When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl from the leader of the Crows, it sets them all on a thrilling path which will determine the future of Rainshadow City. Set across two days and peopled with unforgettable characters, The Rainshadow Orphans blends fantasy and science fiction to explore what it means to stand up to corruption and take charge of destiny.
