Moje hrdinská akademie 30: Dabiho tanec
Střetnutí s dramaticky posíleným Tomurou Šigarakim ve městě Džakú vygradovalo a Midorija s ostatními superhrdiny mají co dělat, aby nepodlehli jeho ničivé síle. S každým okamžikem je stále jasnější, že Šigarakimu jde o jediné – přivlastnit si Midorijovu sílu pro sebe. Zatímco zuří bitva, k městu se blíží chodící pohroma v podobě Gigantomachii, který jde na pomoc svému pánovi. Není však sám – má s sebou zbylé členy Ligy padouchů, z nichž někteří mají své vlastní ambice...
Trailblazers
In 1907, a lesbian feminist vegetarian stepped into male history. She was one of nineteen female Finnish politicians, the first women in the world to be elected to the ruling body of any country. These women sparked a chain reaction that would ignite across the globe. More – many, many more – were to follow. Trailblazers is the story of some of the most extraordinary women – from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe – who trailblazed their way into a privileged male-only space: electoral representation. From aristocratic revolutionaries to women from the poorest backgrounds, these trailblazers risked everything to claim space in the corridors of power. Some faced arrest, exile, torture, even death. But nearly all of them had one thing in common: they defied the rules, challenged male authority and demanded a voice, not just for themselves but for the women in their country. Trailblazers is not a neat tale of steady progress but a white-knuckle ride with some of the world's most extraordinary women. It is a raw chronicle of resistance and rebellion, of setbacks and victories, covering a century of global conflict, liberation movements, and political transformations. Through vivid storytelling, this meticulously researched book honours the women who laid the groundwork for all leaders of today. A compelling read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of women's political power, and who loves daring and sometimes flawed heroines, untold stories and real-world inspiration. This is more than a history book – it is a celebration of courage, a reminder of how far we have come, a call to action, and a tribute to those who dared to demand their rights.

The Axis of Resistance
An unconventional alliance has come to define the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has been building a sprawling web of regional allies – from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Shiite militias in Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza – all aimed at challenging what they see as a US-led regional order and Israel’s military supremacy. But, after decades of expansion, has this alliance – the Axis of Resistance – reached its breaking poin? n this path-breaking book, leading foreign policy analyst Hamidreza Azizi traces the rise, transformation, and fragmentation of the Axis, from its roots in local resistance movements to its peak under Qasem Soleimani and its involvement in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The network now faces an existential threat. As regional dynamics continue to unfold, Azizi situates the Axis in its broader ideological and strategic context and examines competing visions for regional order in the Middle East. The Axis of Resistance offers a vital guide to one of the most consequential and misunderstood political-military alliances in contemporary international affairs.

Alfred Wertheimer Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll
"Elvis who?" was photographer Alfred Wertheimer's response when, in early 1956, RCA Victor asked him to photograph an up-and-coming crooner from Memphis. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old, Elvis Presley was—as we now know—about to become a legend.A fly on the wall in Presley's presence, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Elvis that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history.Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll collects Wertheimer's most remarkable Elvis shots from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 pictures of the star being shipped off to an army base in Germany. Each chapter is illustrated with a poster by Hatch Show Print, one of the oldest letterpress print shops in America, which created many early Elvis posters in the 1950s.
Halál a lakókocsiban
A kemping, ahol mindenki lehet tettes és áldozat is. De ki a valódi gyilkos?
L. Dézsi Zoltán 2003-ban nyerte meg az MTV Riporter kerestetik versenyét, majd a Telesport szerkesztője lett. A Heti Napló Sváby Andrással című műsorhoz 2017-ben "igazolt át". Azt mondja, hogy főleg riporter, de írni is nagyon szeret. Jelent meg már könyve Szikora Róbertről és Korda Györgyről is, utóbbiért Libri irodalmi díjat kapott.
"Mindkét életrajzot öröm volt megírnom. De a krimin még jobban szerettem dolgozni. Nagyon izgalmas volt szövögetni a szálakat. Pláne, hogy minden szereplőt az ismerőseimről mintáztam."

Bob Willoughby. Audrey Hepburn. Photographs 1953–1966
In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby captured Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda, but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject: Audrey Kathleen Ruston, later Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston, best known as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still, but when he met the Belgian-born beauty, Willoughby was enraptured. "She took my hand like… well a princess, and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal men's hearts," he recalled.
As Hepburn's career soared following her Oscar-winning US debut in Roman Holiday, Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburn's beauty and elegance, as she progresses from her debut to her career high of My Fair Lady in 1963. Willoughby's studies, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors, and returning to her private life, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of the 20th century's touchstone beauties.

Carl Morck si chtěl užívat důchod. Pomůže oddělení Q úspěšně vyřešit zlověstný případ?
Carl odešel do důchodu, aby se mohl věnovat psaní. Opustil policii i své milované oddělení Q a hledá znovu sám sebe. Jenže pak ho kontaktuje žena, která má u sebe znepokojivou nahrávku, a než se Carl naděje, zase se vrhne do vyšetřování. Vyhledá Rose a Asada, kteří se po jeho odchodu snaží držet oddělení Q při životě a těžce se smiřují s příchodem jeho nástupkyně, která navíc skrývá temné tajemství.
Trojice se jako za starých časů nového případu ujme. Na zvukové nahrávce slyší hlas ženy, kterou se před čtyřmi lety pokusil zavraždit její manžel. Muž si následně vzal život a policie případ označila za vyřešený. Na nahrávce se však objevuje třetí neznámá osoba a všechno nasvědčuje tomu, že policie udělala chybu.
Po deseti případech Jussi Adler-Olsen symbolicky předává otěže svým kolegyním Stine Boltherové a Line Holmové, které od něj oblíbenou severskou krimi sérii přebírají a úspěšně na ni navazují.

Šiškáči
Šiškáči – Záhada spievajúceho stromu je poetický a vizuálne bohatý príbeh pre deti, ktorý spája dobrodružstvo, humor a jemnú múdrosť o sile priateľstva, empatie a vnútornej harmónie.
Dej sa odohráva v magickom lese Šiškoland, kde spolu žije skupina malých hrdinov – Šiškáčov. Každý z nich prináša do príbehu jedinečnú vlastnosť: odvahu, zvedavosť, pokoj, radosť či vnímavosť. Keď sa jedného dňa v lese stratí harmónia a starý múdry strom Srdcovník prestane spievať svoju rannú pieseň, Šiškáči sa vydávajú na cestu, aby zistili, čo sa v lese pokazilo.
Príbeh hravou a dobrodružnou formou ukazuje, že rovnováha sveta vzniká zo spolupráce, priateľstva a schopnosti počúvať jeden druhého. Kniha je doplnená krátkymi afirmáciami a „kúzelnými vetami“, ktoré prirodzene podporujú pozitívne myslenie, sebadôveru a emocionálnu inteligenciu detí.
Šiškáči prinášajú originálny fantazijný svet, výrazné postavy a silné hodnotové posolstvo, ktoré osloví deti, rodičov aj pedagógov. Vďaka kombinácii príbehu, ilustrácií a pozitívnych myšlienok má kniha potenciál stať sa obľúbeným večerným čítaním aj základom pre ďalšie pokračovania zo sveta Šiškolandu.
