Král závisti - Králové hříchu 5
Vuk Markovic má moc, peníze a pověst muže, který nikdy neprohrává. Může mít všechno, až na ženu, po které zatoužil jako první: snoubenku svého nejlepšího přítele. Ayana Kidane je supermodelka se zdánlivě dokonalým životem. Nikdo však netuší, že plánovaná svatba je jen výhodný obchod, který má být její cestou ke svobodě. Předstírat lásku je snadné, dokud nezačne toužit po zakázaném ovoci. City, které mezi ní a Vukem vzplanou, jsou až příliš nebezpečné. A mezi loajalitou a posedlostí vede tenká hranice.

Po Marice
Marika, Jirka a jejich dva kluci byli krásná rodina. Pak si Marika nahmatala bulku v prsu. Jirkovo vyprávění a Maričiny autentické deníkové zápisky skládají příběh, který může potkat každého z nás. Jaké to je vyslechnout si fatální diagnózu? Jak s ní bojovat, když léčba nezabírá? Odkud brát sílu, když se cítíte bezmocně? Jak pomáhat, když není jak pomoct? Jak říct synům, že máma už tu není? Navzdory všemu smutku je tu stále naděje: „Protože ráno zase vstanu a udělám palačinky.“

Léto na Skotské vysočině
Ještě nedávno měla třicetiletá Paige pocit, že jde všechno přesně podle plánu – pohledný manžel, skvělá práce, roztomilá dcerka. Ale pak se to během jediného roku pokazilo. Po manželově tragické nehodě se Paige s dcerou vrací do rodného domu v malebné skotské vesničce, kde se chce pokusit dát si život opět do pořádku.
Rozhodně neplánuje, že zde potká Johnnyho, veselého a vtipného bývalého šéfkuchaře s jiskrou v oku a s dolíčky ve tvářích. Společně ochutnávají nejrůznější dobroty, hrají si s Johnnyho štěnětem, vyrážejí na výlety – a Paige zase nachází chuť do života. Dokáže se ale odpoutat od minulosti a znovu otevřít své srdce lásce?
Symbolika hebrejských znaků
Symbolika hebrejských znaků je jeden nekonečný chasidský příběh, který prostě stojí za to poznat. Ne nadarmo se stala také pevnou součástí a zároveň kořením talmudu, midrašů i kabalistické literatury – jak středověké, tak té současné. A poznat symboly jednotlivých znaků a jejich vzájemné souvztažnosti může dnešnímu čtenáři zároveň přiblížit biblický text ve zcela nových (nebo lépe řečeno staronových) souvislostech. Navíc si ověří, že tu nejde o nějaké biblické kódy, čarování s čísly nebo znásilňování textu, ale o vypracovaný systém znaků vycházející z nejstarších tradic lidstva, přírody a vesmíru. Není vyloučeno, že některým se předkládaná kniha stane dokonce vstupenkou k hlubšímu poznání jazyka bible.

Dva propletené příběhy, dvě matky a jedna bolest, která odmítá utichnout.

How to Not Know
A guide to dealing with uncertainty at a time when our lives have never felt less certain
From our careers to our politics to our personal lives, the future is unknown. And yet, our capacity to tolerate this uncertainty is in decline. How to Not Know will help you prepare for-and even appreciate-the uncertainty that surrounds us.
Through gripping stories of people grappling with big problems without easy answers-from an economist trying to predict the next market crash to an island nation reckoning with the existential impact of climate change-acclaimed journalist Simone Stolzoff shows how to develop comfort with ambiguity and build tolerance for the unknown. Blending engrossing storytelling, research and practical insights, How to Not Know is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty with courage and clarity.
Beowulf
The Old English epic poem Beowulf has an established reputation as a canonical text. And yet the original poem has remained inaccessible to all but experienced scholars of Old English. This book aims to present the poem to readers who want to know what makes it such a remarkable work of art, and why it is of such cultural significance. Most readers will only have encountered Beowulf through one of its many translations or adaptations; others have had to take on this unique survivor from a past era as a challenging translation exercise, part of their academic study of the poem. This book sidesteps scholarly debates about the poem’s unknowns – its date, provenance or author – and focusses instead on its poetic artistry, its interleaving of heroic pasts and Christian present, and its poet’s extraordinary breadth of reference, from biblical history to Old Norse myth. But the strange intricacies of Old English metre and poetic language are explained, and the poet’s evocation of the ethics and material world of an imagined pre-Viking Scandinavia is explored. Beowulf: Poem, Poet and Hero follows the story of the poem through its many interwoven voices from different times and places, and the poem emerges as a work of reflective beauty, its human characters full of touching pathos and wisdom, its notorious monsters still speaking to our own societies’ abiding insecurities. The final section, on post-medieval responses to Beowulf, shows how the poem has been taken up as a European cultural icon. This book restores its status as a literary masterpiece.

Run
Run, Eisner Award Winner for Best Graphic Memoir, is an essential graphic novel, whether for the home or the classroom. First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling, award-winning team behind March. This follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series March is the continuation of the life story of John Lewis and the struggles seen across the United States after the Selma voting rights campaign. To many, the civil rights movement was capped with the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. All too often, the depiction of history ends with a great victory. But John Lewis knew that victories are just the beginning. John Lewis was one of the preeminent figures of the movement, leading sit-in protests and fighting segregation on interstate busways as an original Freedom Rider. He became chairman of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. He helped organize the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the ensuing delegate challenge at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. And he co-led the march from Selma to Montgomery on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.”In Run, John Lewis and longtime collaborator Andrew Aydin reteam with Nate Powell—the award-winning illustrator of the March trilogy—and are joined by L. Fury, making an astonishing graphic novel debut, to tell this often-overlooked chapter of civil rights history. “In sharing my story, it is my hope that a new generation will be inspired by Run to actively participate in the democratic process and help build a more perfect Union here in America.”—Congressman John Lewis“Run recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic change—the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of those who believe change has not gone far enough. John Lewis’s story has always been a complicated narrative of bravery, loss, and redemption, and Run gives vivid, energetic voice to a chapter of transformation in his young, already extraordinary life.” —Stacey AbramsNew York Times Top 5 YA Books of the Year · Top 10 Great Graphic Novels for Teens (Young Adult Library Services Association) · Washington Post Best Books of the Year · Variety Best Books of the Year · School Library Journal Best Books of the Year
Pain Songs
Pain Songs, Daniel Sluman’s fourth poetry collection, is written through the personal experience of chronic pain, examining the ways the body and the world interact and intersect. Tender and often sensual, we encounter the internal weather systems and shifting states of the bodily self, challenging conventional ideas of wellness and illness. Reflecting on love, family, and relationships, the poems explore intimacy, fertility, pregnancy, and what the repercussions are of living inside a body that feels like ‘an alarm that rings and rings’. Sluman’s poetry, with its immense lyric clarity, brings the human song of the self alive by witnessing its pains and pleasures intimately.

Chapter three draws together the theories and their potential implications to unravel the riddle of appropriation and enable us to look to the future with suggested calls for action. This timely book equips readers with the tools to navigate and reshape the conversation around cultural appropriation, encouraging meaningful action for a more conscious and inclusive fashion industry.
