Keep Calm and Zomri
Tvárime sa ako drsňáci na internete, ale v skutočnosti sme rozmaznaní synáčikovia, ktorí sa dojmú pri každej somarine. Vytáčajú nás idioti, chrapúni a prakokoti. Bez nich by tu bolo lepšie, ale naše fungovanie by nedávalo zmysel. A to je paradoxne presne to, čo chceme dosiahnuť a čoho sa chceme dožiť. Aby tu raz bolo tak dobre, že by Zomri mohlo v pokoji zomrieť. Momentálne však Zomri žije možno viac, ako by sme si to všetci priali. A s vašou podporou ešte aj dlho bude.
Už takmer tri desiatky rokov existuje slovenská spoločnosť v nejakom zvláštnom medzisvete a nevie sa úplne rozhodnúť, kam chce patriť.
Ľudia boli od konca štyridsiatych rokov 20. storočia zvyknutí, že sa o nich stará niekto iný a že do vecí okolo seba vlastne nemajú ako zasiahnuť. Po prevrate prišiel prúser. Na jednej strane stáli nadšenci a idealisti, ktorí z tejto krajiny chceli urobiť modernú spoločnosť založenú na demokratických základoch, a na opačnej hajzli, ktorí svojimi demagógiami ťahajú ľudí do stredoveku. Tento boj dodnes nielen že pretrváva, je silnejší ako kedykoľvek predtým. Moc ovládajú populisti, v parlamente sedia nacisti. Demokratická opozícia je v absolútnom rozvrate, raz sa prikláňa na stranu populistov, inokedy slabučko hryzne.
V stave tohto marazmu vzniklo Zomri úplne spontánne. Pôvodne sme boli jednoduchá facebooková stránka, ktorá uverejňovala vtipy a upozorňovala na prešľapy.
Teraz sme však už miestom, kam sa ľudia chodia uvoľniť po dni naplnenom politikmi, ktorí dennodenne serú na hlavy celej verejnosti. Keď sa vám z paláca vládnej strany smejú do ksichtu a potom idú prespať k usvedčeným zločincom, keď občianske slobody označujú za ohrozenie štátu a kriminálka vyšetruje študentov organizujúcich protesty tak viete, že ste sa za tých tridsať rokov posunuli viac dozadu, ako dopredu.
My na to odpovede nemáme. Snažíme sa len tieto šialenstvá priniesť čo najširšej verejnosti v jazyku, ktorý máme všetci spoločný a zakorenený niekde v hlbinách našich duší. V jazyku humoru, dôvtipu a vulgarity.
Zomri je občianska sebaobrana.

Piszkos Fred, a kapitány
„Az elveszett cirkáló” közmegbecsülést kiérdemelt kapitánya, Piszkos Fred ebben a kötetben új oldaláról mutatkozik be: érző szívű atyaként, aki a maga módján mindent elkövet, hogy isten kegyelméből trónörökössé lett fiát az uralkodói székbe segítse. Közben megismerjük Fülig Jimmyt is, aki bár Piszkos Frednek régi ellenlábasa, ez alkalommal úgy is mint szépíró, úgy is mint „beugró” trónörökös-herceg, Fred kapitány malmára hajtja a vizet, pedig szíve szerint csak kedves csontnyelű kését keresi, amit véletlenül mindig valaki hátában felejt.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose; deals with a different pain; heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere ifyou are just willing to look.
Nejšťastnější muž na Zemi
Život může být krásný, když si ho krásný uděláš. Je to na tobě.
Eddie Jaku se vždy považoval primárně za Němce a až pak za Žida. Byl hrdý na svou zem. To se však změnilo v listopadu 1938, kdy ho zbili, zatkli a poslali do koncentračního tábora. Během dalších sedmi let čelil Eddie každý den nepředstavitelným hrůzám, nejdřív v Buchenwaldu, potom v Osvětimi a následně při nacistickém pochodu smrti. Přišel o rodinu, o přátele, o svou zem. Protože přežil, slíbil si, že se bude každý den usmívat. Vypráví svůj příběh k uctění památky těch, kteří vyprávět nemůžou, dělí se s námi o svou moudrost a žije nejlepší život, jaký může. Nyní věří tomu, že je ten „nejšťastnější muž na Zemi”.
Tyto paměti, vydané na počest Eddieho 100. narozenin, jsou působivé, dojemné a nakonec také plné naděje, že štěstí lze nalézt i v těch nejtemnějších časech.

Neviditelní Židé: Přežili jsme holokaust
Eddie Bielawski byl na počátku druhé světové války malým židovským dítětem narozeným ve východopolském městě Węgrów. To, co prožíval v letech 1941–1944, je dnes stěží uvěřitelným příběhem touhy přežít. Díky houževnatosti a vynalézavosti matky a otce se početná rodina dokázala v nepřátelském prostředí vyhýbat zatčení a zavraždění. Budovali jednu skrýš za druhou a v nelidských podmínkách čekali na naději. A nakonec uspěli. Právě to činí příběh a samotné autorovy paměti tak výjimečnými.

Piszkos Fred közbelép - (Fülig Jimmy őszinte sajnálatára)
Az estében, jóval előttünk egy hitvány kis gőzös látszott a tatjával feléjük, amilyet a part menti forgalomból is rövidesen kivonnak előreláthatólag. Horpadt bordázata rázkódott, mintha a gép lenne nagyon ócska, vagy a hajótest igen rozoga. Ezzel akarnak expedícióra vállalkozni? Hiszen egy nagyobb hullám mindenestől a víz alá nyomja.
- Pompás hajó - harsogta Wagner úr. - Ki mondaná erről, hogy negyvenkét éve szeli át az óceánt?
Ezt senki sem mondta volna erről a hajóról, amely futó megítélés szerint is évtizedekkel öregebbnek látszott.
- Micsoda marha lehet - szólt Fülig Jimmy -, aki arra vállalkozik, hogy expedíciózzon ezzel....

Nick and Charlie
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman's debut novel Solitaire, which was praised as 'The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age' by The Times.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me."
NICK: "Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!
But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...
Pride and Prejudice and the City
From the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl comes a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy that's What If It's Us meets Bridgerton. What if you found a once-in-a-lifetime love...just not in your lifetime? Seventeen-year-old Audrey Cameron has lost her spark. After an embarrassing run-in with her ex-boyfriend, she's told that she needs to get back out there and take risks.
What she doesn't expect is to be transported to Regency England! Lucy Sinclair has her own problems - stifled by her father and trying to avoid an unwanted marriage proposal - when Audrey lands into her life, claiming to be from two hundred years in the future, it's a welcome distraction. While the girls try to understand what's happening and how to send Audrey home, their sparks make a comeback in a most unexpected way - instead of falling for their suitors and the happily-ever-afters everyone expects of them, they fall for each other. Can their love story survive impossible circumstances? A swoony time-travelling YA romance set in the regency era about finding your spark - a lesbian Jane Austen story.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein
New York is slipping from Cleo's grasp. Sure, she's at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.
