Achrer - Wu Yi, Josef Achrer, Peng Lu
Kniha je záznamem vývoje díla Josefa Achrera od Krajin až po aktuální témata cyklů Poškozené informace a Data. Její neobvyklý formát a grafická úprava Zdeňka Zieglera dávají vyniknout umělcovým obrazům a objektům a vedle reprodukcí jeho výtvarných děl se dostává prostoru i jeho vlastním textům. Díky tomu se i samotná kniha stává svébytným artefaktem. Josefu Achrerovi je velkou inspirací současná Čína. Je tedy jen přirozené, že se v publikaci k jeho dílu vyjadřují Číňané - významný historik umění Lü Peng a malíř Wu Yi. Umělcův pobyt v Číně zachycuje řada dokumentárních fotografií.

Muž s fasetovýma očima - Tomáš Řízek, Wu Ming-yi
Ve Wu Ming-Yiho románovém světě se iluze, představy a sny proplétají s vědeckými poznatky a úvahami a v novém světle přibližují osudy románových postav, jejich osobní ztráty a složitá životní rozhodnutí. Sledujeme jakýsi danse macabre lidí se světem. Autorovo originální pojetí environmentální literatury nám umožňuje podívat se na život složenýma očima hmyzu, prozkoumávat možnosti našich smyslů a uvědomovat si, že svět nebyl stvořen jen pro naše oči a že ve světle možných katastrof neexistuje žádný druhý. Kultura a příroda se proplétají, a tak ohrožení jednoho znamená i ohrožení druhého. Wu Ming-Yi zastupuje novou generaci Tchajwanců, pro kterou environmentální smýšlení tvoří neoddělitelnou součást identity. Román na pomezí vyprávění Haruki Murakamiho a jihoamerického magického realismu. Knihu ilustruje významný český ilustrátor Tomáš Řízek.

The Age of Extraction - Tim Wu
Today’s dominant tech platforms are the most effective tools ever created for extracting wealth, destabilising the societies they plunder by creating vast inequality. One of the world's pre-eminent anti-monopoly experts explains how and why we must take back control. 'Wu is a titan . . . a must-read' FINANCIAL TIMES'Cuts to the core' CORY DOCTOROW, author of Enshittification'Essential' KAREN HAO, author of Age of EmpireOur world is ruled by a handful of tech platforms. They provide great conveniences and entertainment but also stand as some of the most effective instruments of wealth extraction ever invented, seizing immense amounts of money, data and attention from all of us. An economy driven by tech and AI could enrich us, yet it could also marginalize entire industries, widen the wealth gap and foster a two-class nation. As technology evolves and our markets adapt, can society cultivate a better way? Is it possible to balance economic growth and egalitarianism, or are we too late?Tim Wu, the preeminent scholar and former White House official who coined the phrase ‘net neutrality’, tells the story of an internet that promised widespread wealth and democracy, only to aid the spread of autocracy instead. From generative AI and predictive social data to antitrust and cryptocurrency, Wu frames our current moment within key lessons from recent history. And, perhaps most importantly of all, Wu envisions a future where technological advances serve the greatest possible good – for everyone. Concise and hopeful, The Age of Extraction offers consequential proposals for reclaiming control to achieve better economic balance and prosperity for all.

Monkey - Wu Ch'eng-en
Also known as Journey to the West, Wu Ch''êng-ên''s Monkey is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature, translated by Arthur Waley in Penguin Classics. Monkey depicts the adventures of Prince Tripitaka, a young Buddhist priest on a dangerous pilgrimage to India to retrieve sacred scriptures accompanied by his three unruly disciples: the greedy pig creature Pipsy, the river monster Sandy - and Monkey. Hatched from a stone egg and given the secrets of heaven and earth, the irrepressible trickster Monkey can ride on the clouds, become invisible and transform into other shapes - skills that prove very useful when the four travellers come up against the dragons, bandits, demons and evil wizards that threaten to prevent them in their quest. Wu Ch''êng-ên wrote Monkey in the mid-sixteenth century, adding his own distinctive style to an ancient Chinese legend, and in so doing created a dazzling combination of nonsense with profundity, slapstick comedy with spiritual wisdom. Arthur Waley''s humorous and energetic translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the story''s background in history and legend, its elements of anti-bureaucratic satire and the allegorical nature of its characters Very little is known about Wu Ch''êng-ên (c.1505-80) although he is believed to have held the post of District Magistrate for a time. He had a reputation as a good poet but only a few rather commonplace verses of his survive in an anthology of Ming poetry and in a local gazetteer.If you enjoyed Monkey, you might like Confucius''s The Analects, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

China's Belt and Road Power Transition - Chien-peng Chung
Details the Belt and Road global infrastructure development initiative as the most important instrument for China's leadership under Xi Jinping to create an alternative global economic and geopolitical order to challenge the United States. In the opening decades of the twenty-first century the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership under Xi Jinping has created a worldwide Sino-centric network, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), to challenge American dominance in world affairs. Encompassing economic, financial, political, and strategic relations, the CCP's belief is that the funds, construction projects, and promises offered by the BRI will generate a widespread perception of the inexorability, legitimacy, and thus acceptability of a Chinese world order. Consisting initially of a land-based "Silk Road Economic Belt," an oceangoing "Maritime Silk Road," and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the BRI has expanded to involve more than 140 countries and includes a Health Silk Road, Digital Silk Road, and Polar Silk Road, but it has also experienced serious challenges. Using power transition theory, Chien-peng Chung carefully investigates and evaluates the enterprise's benefits and shortcomings, concluding that it is still too early to consider the BRI a success.
