Hévíz 2090
Hévíz 2090: romanca s nádychom utópie a sci-fi. Po úspešných knihách pre mládež Keď sa pes smeje a Venussha (Ťažký týždeň) autor napísal román výsostne pre dospelých. Sme v láske slobodní, sami sebou? Prejavia sa civilizačné zmeny aj na milostných vzťahoch? Juraj Šebesta na to odpovedá
s jemu vlastným humorom a otvorenosťou.
Ľúbostné príbehy sú zasadené prevažne do známeho kúpeľného mesta a najmä do budúcnosti; ich spoločenské pozadie však upomína na minulosť, aj tú vzdialenejšiu. Maďarom i Slovákom sa mimoriadne darí, ich vzťahy nikdy neboli lepšie. Svojou tolerantnosťou sú vzorom celej Európe.
Autor ulieta s úsmevom, ale možno aj s vierou a nádejou.
The Sky Is Yours
"There have been a lot of books heralded as heirs to Infinite Jest, but I can happily say: this is it." -- Leah Schnelbach, Tor.com
A sprawling, genre-defying epic set in a dystopian metropolis plagued by dragons, this debut about what it’s like to be young in a very old world is pure storytelling pleasure
In the burned-out, futuristic city of Empire Island, three young people navigate a crumbling metropolis constantly under threat from a pair of dragons that circle the skies. When violence strikes, reality star Duncan Humphrey Ripple V, the spoiled scion of the metropolis’ last dynasty; Baroness Swan Lenore Dahlberg, his tempestuous, death-obsessed betrothed; and Abby, a feral beauty he discovered tossed out with the trash; are forced to flee everything they've ever known. As they wander toward the scalded heart of the city, they face fire, conspiracy, mayhem, unholy drugs, dragon-worshippers, and the monsters lurking inside themselves. In this bombshell of a novel, Chandler Klang Smith has imagined an unimaginable world: scathingly clever and gorgeously strange, The Sky Is Yours is at once faraway and disturbingly familiar, its singular chaos grounded in the universal realities of love, family, and the deeply human desire to survive at all costs.
The Sky Is Yours is incredibly cinematic, bawdy, rollicking, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable, a debut that readers who loved Cloud Atlas, Super Sad True Love Story, and Blade Runner will adore.

Milan Rastislav Štefánik v dramatickej tvorbe na Slovensku a v Čechách
Vedecká monografia prof. PhDr. Dagmar Inštitorisovej, PhD. s názvom Milan Rastislav Štefánik v dramatickej tvorbe na Slovensku a v Čechách má interdisciplinárny charakter, zaoberá analýzou, poetikou a kompozíciou dostupných dramatických a dramaticko-dokumentárnych diel, ktoré sa zaoberajú osobnosťou Milana Rastislava Štefánika. Na príkladoch zo slovenských a českých divadelných, rozhlasových, televíznych a filmových diel ukazuje spôsob vyobrazovania jeho osobnosti, charakterizuje M. R. Štefánika ako dramatickú a dokumentárnu postavu, vymedzuje hlavné znaky jeho interpretácie v danom dramatickom priestore a poukazuje na paralely v poetologických postupoch. Zaoberá tak súčasnými dielami (inscenáciami, divadelnými, rozhlasovými hrami atď.), ako aj dielami, ktoré vznikali po jeho úmrtí a je rozčlenená do troch tematicky odlišných kapitol.
Prvá kapitola s názvom Divadelná tvorba sa v niekoľkých podkapitolách zaoberá tvarovaním postavy M. R. Štefánika v rôznych divadelných a paradivadelných dramatických útvaroch, textoch a divadelných inscenáciách na Slovensku a v Čechách. Súčasťou kapitoly je aj pohľad do tradície inscenovania tém o významných osobnostiach slovenskej, európskej a svetovej kultúry, umenia a politiky na Slovensku a nazretie do priamej skúsenosti M. R. Štefánika s divadlom. Súčasťou kapitoly je aj hlbší pohľad do inscenácií a hier po roku 1989, ktoré boli uvedené v Radošinskom naivnom divadle Bratislava, v balete Štátneho divadla Košice, v rámci tvorby hudobného skladateľa Mareka Piačeka, v Divadle A. Bagara Nitra atď. Obsahuje tiež pohľad do kritickej a odbornej reflexie divadelno-inscenačnej tvorby o jeho osobnosti po roku 1989.
Druhá kapitola s názvom Slovenská televízna, filmová a rozhlasová tvorba sa v niekoľkých podkapitolách zaoberá postavou Milana Rastislava Štefánika v slovenských filmových, televíznych a rozhlasových umeleckých, dokumentárnych a reportážnych dielach. Rozbor diel je zameraný aj na formu či prostriedky, pomocou ktorých bola osobnosť M. R. Štefánika vyobrazovaná.
Tretia kapitola s názvom Česká televízna, filmová a rozhlasová tvorba sa venuje postave Milana Rastislava Štefánika v českých filmových, televíznych a rozhlasových umeleckých, dokumentárnych a reportážnych dielach. Rozbor je smerovaný obdobne ako v druhej kapitole.
Ilustračný materiál tvoria ukážky najstarších i súčasných dramatických textov, fotografie zo súčasných divadelných inscenácií a pod., ktoré pomáhajú priblížiť nielen ich poetiku, ale aj atmosféru doby vzniku umeleckých textov.

Sequentially Yours, Elliott Erwitt
What happens next? This irksome little question is key to story-telling. Whether ancient bards or trendy filmmakers, narrators have to keep us guessing. Yet, we often forget that life itself is a chain of unpredictable instants - each with its unique character. Even when seconds apart, experiences can be distinctly different. You never know what's around the corner; until it hits you in the face! Change often does come all at once. Who better to grapple with this constant conundrum than Elliott Erwitt? Over a notable career, he's established himself as master of the unembellished moment. As you'd expect from Erwitt, these sequences are often comic - sometimes heart-rending - and always compelling.

Trénink pro úpravu chování
Nezáleží na tom, jestli je problémové chování vašeho psa způsobované strachem, frustrací nebo agresivitou – pokud štěká, vrčí, skáče, tahá nebo utíká, tahle kniha vám poradí, jak ho toho zlozvyku zbavit, a to účinnými, praktickými a především čistě pozitivními metodami. Dozvíte se i to, jak problémovému chování předcházet, jak se psem lépe komunikovat, jak v něm budovat samostatnost a odolnost vůči stresu a jak mu dát větší volnost při nácviku problematických situací. Výcvikovou metodu BAT (Behavioral Adjustment Training) vyvinula trenérka Grisha Stewartová přes více než 10 lety a od té doby ji s úspěchem používá. A nejen to – v průběhu let ji neustále vylepšovala a odlaďovala, což vedlo jak k lepším výsledkům, tak k novému, aktualizovanému vydání její knihy, kterou nyní přinášíme českým čtenářům. Jednoduše a krok po kroku se dozvíte, jak z nevychovance udělat lva salónů!
Co o knize říkají odborníci:
Knihu Trénink pro úpravu chování si musí přečíst každý, kdo pracuje s nadměrně reaktivními psy. Postupy v ní popsané již po léta usnadňují život psům po celém světě. Srozumitelnost, praktičnost a důraz na to, jak to všechno vnímá pes, to jsou hlavní důvody, proč jsou tyto výcvikové metody tak úspěšné u psů, kteří ve společnosti jiných psů nebo lidí zažívají frustraci nebo úzkost. Tuto knihu doporučuji každému, kdo si láme hlavu s reaktivním psem nebo chce svému psímu společníkovi lépe porozumět. Victoria Stillwellová, autorka knihy Train Your Dog Positively
Grishina metoda BAT kombinuje operantní i klasické podmiňování s hlubokou znalostí přirozeného psího chování a vyjadřování. Třebaže vychází z vědeckých poznatků, Grisha vše vysvětluje tak jednoduše a srozumitelně, aby její postupy každý pochopil a mohl se jimi řídit.

The Love Hypothesis
'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Dvaja veronskí šľachtici
That done, our day of marriage shall be yours,
One feast, one house, one mutual happiness.
Dvom šťastným svadbám – jednej hostine –
stôl potom v jednom dome prestrime.
Na začiatku ukážkové priateľstvo Valentína a Protea, aj ich ukážková zaľúbenosť do dvoch dám, Júlie a Silvie. Potom zrada. A po zrade odpustenie. Aj taký býva život. Práve z podhubia tejto frivolnej hry vyrástla tragédia Romeo a Júlia – hra o milencoch, ktorí si boli verní až za hrob.
Before We Were Strangers
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist "missed connection" post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.
To the Green-eyed Lovebird:
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn't stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding...
I didn't see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn't know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I've spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we?ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let?s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn?t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is?a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let?s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited?"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
