Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

Turgenev's masterpiece of generational conflict shocked Russian society when it was published in 1862 and continues today to seem as fresh and outspoken as it did to those who first encountered its nihilistic hero.

Zrcadlová četba - Crime and Punishment (B1-B2)
This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského. Spisovatel sám jej charakterizoval jako psychologický záznam jednoho zločinu. Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov je chudý student, který byl z finančních důvodů nucen zanechat studia na univerzitě. Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, ne-li dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků. Tento příběh však není o zločinu...

Sade - Lovers Rock (2024 Reissue) LP
Helen Folasade Adu CBE (narodená 16. januára 1959), profesionálne známa ako Sade je jedna z najúspešnejších britských umelkýň v histórii je často uznávaná ako vplyv na súčasnú hudbu. Jej úspech v hudobnom priemysle bol ocenený Dôstojníkom Rádu Britského impéria v roku 2002 a v roku 2017 bola vymenovaná za veliteľku v rámci Birthday Honours. Sade sa narodila v Ibadane v Nigérii a od svojich štyroch rokov vyrastala v Anglicku. Študovala na Saint Martin's School of Art v Londýne a získala skromné uznanie ako módna návrhárka a modelka na čiastočný úväzok, kým sa začiatkom 80. rokov pripojila ku skupine Pride. Po získaní pozornosti ako interpretka založila skupinu Sade a v roku 1983 získala nahrávaciu zmluvu s Epic Records.
Lovers Rock je piaty štúdiový album vydaný 13. novembra 2000 vo vydavateľstve Epic Records. Album bol nazvaný podľa štýlu reggae hudby známeho ako loves rock, ktorý je známy svojim romantickým zvukom a obsahom, ktorý frontmanka Sade Adu počúvala v mladosti. Lovers Rock bol vnímaný ako odklon od predchádzajúceho používania jazzových prvkov kapely, namiesto toho sa rozhodla pre širšie využitie hudobných prvkov zo soulovej hudby, R&B, soft rocku, ľudovej hudby, dubu, reggae, neo soulu a milovníkov rocku. Produkcia albumu bola charakterizovaná ako rezervná, s jednoduchými aranžmánmi a prekvitajúcimi reggae. Koncepčný album, texty sa zameriavajú na pozitívne aj negatívne stránky lásky; lyrický obsah albumu sa dotýka aj politických tém. Album získalcenu Grammy za najlepší popový vokálny album v roku 2002. Komerčne sa album dostal na 18. miesto v UK Albums Chart a na tretie miesto v US Billboard 200. Odvtedy získal trojnásobnú platinovú platňu od asociácie Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), z ktorej sa do februára 2010 predalo v Spojených štátoch viac ako 3 milióny kópií. Z albumu vznikli dva single – „By Your Side“ a „King of Sorrow“ – a ďalej ho propagovalo Lovers Rock Tour.

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.
