I was not Born for Quiet
Thanks to Janko Kráľ, as John Minahane has written, the Váh is Slovakia’s most mystical river. Again and again the poet returns to his community via that flagship poem of Slovak romanticism, The Enchanted Maiden in the Váh and Odd Johnny. Characteristic in Kráľ’s poetry is his focus on the inward side of events and stories, turned inside out, since one has to turn one’s clothing inside out/ and leap in the middle of the Váh. By this means, metaphysical space is opened. There the spirit is so blended together with reality that it becomes possible to break the spell on the maiden (motherland) in the river Lethe, which is life’s inverted clepsydra. Time always freshly poses the question, which young man wants to give body to his thought. And what unwinds from that is not only a defiant faith in the mission of poetry, but also Janko Kráľ’s courage to stand up for the language and national rights of Slovaks in 1848. To give the time a face where our identity is mirrored.
To this day we do not know exactly how Janko Kráľ looked in reality. Using the surviving descriptions of Kráľ’s appearance, he therefore created a metaphysical portrait with the digital tool Metahuman Creator, which is designed for creating figures for video games. Subsequently he placed this virtual figure in a contemporary context, in the form of manipulated photographs from the mass media.

Nezapomeňte na mne / Not Forget about Me
Publikace přibližuje pomocí dobových dokumentů a fotografií vykonstruovaný politický proces s JUDr. Miladou Horákovou a dalšími osobnostmi, který se na pokyn vedení Komunistické strany Československa uskutečnil na jaře 1950. Na jeho přípravě se podíleli sovětští poradci vyslaní do Československa na podzim 1949. Doprovázela ho masivní dehonestační a propagandistická kampaň. Katalog vychází ze stejnojmenné výstavy, která byla v červnu 2020 připravena při příležitosti sedmdesátého výročí těchto tragických událostí.
The publication presents, with the help of contemporary documents and photographs, the fabricated political trial with JUDr. Milada Horáková and other co-defendants, which took place in the spring of 1950 upon the instructions of the leadership of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. In the preparation of this political show-trial, Soviet advisers sent to Czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1949 took active part. The trial was accompanied by a massive defamatory and propaganda campaign. The publication is based on the eponymous exhibition organised in 2020 to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of these tragic events.

A Kind of Magic - Queen A-tól Z-ig
Bohemian rapsody, We are the Champions, We Will Rock You, I Want to Break Free - a sor szinte a végtelenségig folytatható. A könnyűzenén maradandó nyomot hagyó Queen legendája máig töretlen, a zenekar sikerei és befolyása semmihez sem mérhető.
A többek közt a Pink Floyd és a Led Zeppelin sztoriját feldolgozó elismert rock újságíró, Mark Blake most a Queen teljes történetét hozza el: A-tól Z-ig. A zenekar még élő tagjai, pályatársak, barátok és riválisok visszaemlékezései révén új és alig ismert történetek és anekdoták sora bontakozik ki: hogyan lett a zenekar neve majdnem The Rich Kids; hogyan "ugrálta ki magát" a Queenből a banda elfeledett basszusgitárosa, és hogyan alapította meg első zenekarát Freddie Mercury egy indiai bentlakásos iskolában. Emellett a Queen karrierjének sorsfordító eseményeiről, a legendás dalok keletkezésének kulisszatitkairól és a zenekar tagjai közötti bonyolult viszonyokról is olvashatunk.
A Kind of Magic - a Queen A-tól Z-ig nem csupán a zenekar rajongói számára kihagyhatatlan olvasmány, hanem azoknak is, akik jobban meg akarják ismerni a rockzene aranykorát.
Fix the System, Not the Women
10 years after founding the Everyday Sexism Project, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates connects the dots between the 'isolated incidents' of violence against women and the institutional and systemic misogyny that is so deeply ingrained in our society. Every three days in the UK, women are murdered by their current or former partners. 137 women worldwide are killed by a family member every day.These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a devastatingly clear pattern. But it is a pattern we are so used to seeing that we simply don't notice it anymore.These incidents are the product of a society in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that it has simply become part of our daily lives. This book will lay these patterns bare for everyone to see. Joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.In Isolated Incidents, Laura puts forward her own bold and ambitious solution for combating misogyny and violence against women - one that includes structural change and tackles institutionalised prejudice. Enough is enough.
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster 2DVD
Metallica je americká heavymetalová skupina. Kapela bola založená v roku 1981 v Los Angeles spevákom a gitaristom Jamesom Hetfieldom a bubeníkom Larsom Ulrichom a väčšinu svojej kariéry žila v San Franciscu.Rýchle tempá, inštrumentály a agresívne muzikantstvo z nich urobili jednu zo zakladajúcich „veľkej štvorky“ thrash metalových kapiel, popri Megadeth, Anthrax a Slayer. Aktuálnu zostavu Metallicy tvoria zakladajúci členovia a hlavní skladatelia Hetfield a Ulrich, dlhoročný hlavný gitarista Kirk Hammett a basgitarista Robert Trujillo.

The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything
Like circles of a Venn diagram, Mimi and Art Brotherton have always come as a pair. Devoted siblings, they're bound together in their childhood home by the tragic death of their parents.
Art believes that people - including his sister - are incapable of making sensible decisions when it comes to love. That's what algorithms are for.
Mimi knows that her brother is a mathematical genius. But she believes that maths isn't the answer to everything. Not quite. Especially when it comes to love.
Still, when Mimi begins her search for a soulmate, Art's insistence that she follow a strict mathematical plan seems reasonable. The arrival of Frank, however - a romantic stargazer who is definitely not algorithm-approved - challenges the siblings' relationship to breaking point. As their equilibrium falters, Art's mistrust of Frank grows, but so do Mimi's feelings. Something about Frank doesn't quite add up, and only Art can see it . . .
The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .
A Kind of Spark
A Kind Of Spark tells the story of 11-year-old Addie as she campaigns for a memorial in memory of the witch trials that took place in her Scottish hometown. Addie knows there's more to the story of these 'witches', just like there is more to hers. Can Addie challenge how the people in her town see her, and her autism, and make her voice heard?
A story about friendship, courage and self-belief, perfect for fans of The Goldfish Boy.

Right Kind of Wrong
Forget 'fail fast, fail often'. This revolutionary book reveals how we get failure wrong - and how to get it right.
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must 'fail fast, fail often'. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.
Here, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. She draws on a lifetime's research into the science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your mistakes being held against you. She introduces the three archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad).
And she tells vivid stories ranging from the history of open heart surgery to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, all to ask a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Queen Charlotte: Before the Bridgertons came the love story that changed the ton...
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.
Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.
Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight—for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny… as Queen.
English Is Not Easy
Víte, kdy použít whether a kdy if? Díky příkladové větě si to jistě ujasníte: I wonder whether I should have added a little more poison to his tea? Nevíte, kam umístit čárku v podmínkových větách? Chce si ujasnit a zopakovat základní předložky pomocí krys a popelnice? Tento skvěle ilustrovaný průvodce představuje složitost anglického jazyka, slovíčka i gramatiku.
Celkem 17 zábavných kapitol nás seznámí s nejrůznějšími úskalími anglického jazyka, na které autorka - grafička, která tuto knihu vytvořila, narazila během svého pobytu v New Yorku.
English Is Not Easy nenabízí zkrácené fráze o extrémních sportech a atmosférických podmínkách, které se dozvíte v obvyklých učebnicích angličtiny. Tato kniha nabízí slovní zásobu situací, ve kterých se dospělý čtenář skutečně ocitá. Potřebujete někoho urazit? Ano, i urážky tu najdete. A imbecil je z nich ta nejslušnější.
Autorčiny postavy, hravé věty, dialogy ze života, a především skvělé ilustrace nás seznámí se vším – od problematiky slovesa to be až po komplikované slovesné časy a zdánlivě nesmyslné idiomy. Pro samouky, kteří se chtějí zlepšit v konverzaci, a pro „věčné začátečníky“, je tato kniha nápaditým a poutavým ilustrovaným dobrodružstvím na cestě angličtinou.

The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült
"Hogyan fogja felismerni a lányt? A szőke hajáról. Soha nem fogja elfelejteni az arcát, de annyi arc van itt. Mi van, ha a lány elfelejti az övét?
Mindenáron ő akarja előbb észrevenni. Úgy érzi, hogy ha a lány meglepi, akkor megijed és elszalad.
Bár magas. Száznyolcvan centi. És ez neki kedvez.
Végül észrevesz egy fényes szőke fejet, amely a peronon halad felé. A szőkeség farmerdzsekit visel, alul kissé bővülő szárú farmernadrágot, és barna csizmát. Benjamin a hajához nyúl, hogy a vax jól tartja-e.
A lány felpillant, meglátja, és az arcán felragyog az a bizonyos mosoly.
Hirtelen az jut eszébe, hogy szeretné, ha ez a mosoly lenne az utolsó dolog, amit lát, mielőtt meghal, aztán eltűnődik, hogy mi a franc baj van vele."
Két együtt töltött év...
Húsz év távol egymástól...
És egyetlen nap, hogy változtassanak a történetükön.
Benjamin világa kifordul a sarkaiból, amikor találkozik Clarával. Tudja, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, ám egy végzetes hiba az utolsó egyetemi estéjükön nagyon különböző irányba fordítja az életüket.
Húsz évvel később Clarának remek állása és jóképű férje van. Ám a látszólagos sikerei ellenére sem boldog, és tudja, hogy szíve egy darabja még mindig Benjaminé, a fiúé, akibe évekkel korábban beleszeretett. A fiúé, akinek az életét félő, hogy tönkretette.
Amikor bombamerénylet történik abban a városban, ahol először találkoztak, Clara visszakerül a helyre, amelyet igyekezett kitörölni az emlékezetéből, és az első szerelemhez, amelyet soha nem tudott elfelejteni. Benjamin után kutatva kénytelen szembenézni azokkal az eseményekkel, amelyek szétszakították őket. De vajon már túl késő helyrehozni azt, ami elromlott?
Charlotte Rixon The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült című regénye kilométereken és évtizedeken átívelő, elsöprő erejű, megrendítő történet első szerelemről, felnőtté válásról, eltávolodásról, és a meglepő, kanyargós utakról, amelyekre az érzelmek vezethetnek minket.
