Seven Letters to Melin
Josef Šafařík's Seven Letters to Melin is a critique of a reductionist technological approach to life and of man's alienation from nature and from himself in the modern era. The book is conceived as a series of letters to a certain Melin, in fact Šafařík's alternative or former self as a working engineer who believed in the value of science and technical progress. The author, who has become more sceptical toward science and technology, examines the case of artist Robert, who has committed suicide, and mankind's search for meaning in life. Šafařík posits a fundamental dichotomy between a spectator and a participant. A spectator, embodied by the scientist, views the world from outside and searches for explanations, while a participant, embodied by the artist, creates the world through his own active engagement. Šafařík argues for the primacy of artistic creativity over scientific explanation, of 'truth' over 'correctness', of internally felt moral agency over externally imposed social morality, and of personal religious belief over organized churches. Šafařík is neither anti-scientific nor anti-rational, and he subjects mysticism to critical analysis. However, he argues for a limited explanatory power of science and rejects the reductionist version of science that denies meaning and value to what cannot be measured or calculated. He also criticizes technology, the wage economy and increased professionalization for alienating people from the meaning of the activities in which they engage. Šafařík concludes that artist Robert was killed by 'an excess of society's rationalistic, moral and economic therapy' and a 'total lack of human interest', which make the world 'unbreathable' for an artist. The book was a major influence on Václav Havel, whose brother Ivan, himself a scientist and philosopher, regards Seven Letters as an 'exceptionally contemporary' book that scientists 'should read'.

Be Useful : Seven tools for life
The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy.
That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back.
All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life.
Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there.
Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Lacná kniha Letters From Father Christmas (-50%)
Published to celebrate the first ever 'letter from Father Christmas' in 1920, this beautiful oversized edition of Tolkien's famous illustrated letters from 'Father Christmas', includes a wealth of charming letters, pictures and decorated envelopes, and promises to be a festive feast for Tolkien fans of all ages.
Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R. Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches.
The letters were from Father Christmas.
They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house!
Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note, and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script, adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas.
This classic festive book of Tolkien's enchanting Father Christmas letters, written to his children between the 1920s and the 1940s, has been reworked into a sumptuous, new standard hardback edition. It contains high-quality digital reproductions of his wonderful letters and pictures, including a number of them appearing in this format for the first time, and a revised introduction by Baillie Tolkien.

Letters of Enchantment 2: Ruthless Vows
TORN APART BY WAR. REUNITED BY LOVE?Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance.
When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre's movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it's only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that's unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor's reign.Since waking below in Dacre's realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued.
As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together...the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.
Sedmero požehnání - Seven Blessings
Obrazová publikace Sedmero požehnání má být průzorem do světa, který je současnému člověku vzdálený a málo známý. Má mu poskytnout obraz komunity, která si střeží svůj poklad především ve svých srdcích, a který probleskuje i v přítomných černobílých fotografiích. Název knihy odkazuje k rituálu Sedmi požehnání (ševa berachot), která jsou recitována během židovského svatebního obřadu. Setkání tradičních Židů nejrůznějších směrů u hrobů významných učenců, rabínů a cadiků, o nichž vypráví doprovodné texty Daniela Soukupa, je totiž svého druhu mystickým zasnoubením, při němž se spojují duše tohoto světa se světem příštím. Každý ze sedmi rabínských járcajtů (výročí smrti) zachycených objektivem fotoaparátu Jindřicha Buxbauma je zároveň příběhem sedmi významných duchovních vůdců, kteří jsou pro židovské společenství trvalým požehnáním. Texty Daniela Soukupa si můžete přečíst v češtině i angličtině.
The photo book Seven Blessings is intended as a glimpse into a world which is quite distant and little known at present. It should provide a picture of a community, which guards its treasures primarily in the hearts of its members and which is allowed to shine out in these black and white photographs. The name of the book refers to the ritual of the Seven Blessings (sheva brachot), which are recited during the Jewish wedding ceremony. Meetings of traditional Jews of various streams at the graves of renowned scholars, rabbis and tsaddiks, which is the theme of the accompanying texts by Daniel Soukup, are a kind of mystical engagement, in which the souls of this world are linked with the world to come. The seven listed rabbinic yahrzeits (anniversaries of deaths), depicted with an objective camera by Jindřich Buxbaum, are also the stories of seven celebrated spiritual leaders who amount to a permanent blessing for the Jewish community.

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.
Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.
Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.

Az ellentétek vonzzák egymást? Erősen kételkedtem ebben mindig is, de hogy mégis mi az, ami ennyire vonz Rowan Queenben, arról fogalmam sincs. A srác egy beképzelt, felfuvalkodott sportoló, én pedig minden vagyok, csak olyan nem, akikkel általában együtt látom a diákszövetségis bulikban. Az én világom a művészeti tanszék alagsori festőterme, ahol omladozik a fal, Hitchcock elmeháborodott filmjei, és az élet a kamerám mögött. Kerülöm a feltűnést, ellenben vele, akire mindenki felfigyel, amint belép egy helyiségbe. Ő a földön jár, rajta a reflektorfény, én pedig a föld alatt rohanok, közvetlenül alatta. Arra viszont nem gondoltam, hogy sokkal több a közös bennünk, mint hittem, és sok mindent rejteget ő is a felszín alatt. Például az igazi vágyait, amely szemben áll azzal, amit az edzője elvár tőle. Csakhogy ne ítélj elsőre, mert a sors jön és jól seggbe rúg, mint engem. Ugyanis Rowant ennél jobban nem is ismerhettem volna félre…

Letters to Camondo
From the author of the bestselling phenomenon The Hare with Amber Eyes
As you may have guessed by now, I am not in your house by accident. I know your street rather well.
The Camondos lived just a few doors away from Edmund de Waal's forebears. Like de Waal's family, they were part of belle epoque high society. They were also targets of anti-Semitism.
Count Moise de Camondo created a spectacular house filled with art for his son to inherit. Over a century later, de Waal explores the lavish rooms and detailed archives and, in a haunting series of letters addressed to Camondo, he tells us what happened next.
