Changing My Mind - Julian Barnes
A new book from one of our most acclaimed writers. ‘We always believe that changing our mind is an improvement, bringing a greater truthfulness to our dealings with the world and other people. It puts an end to vacillation, uncertainty, weak-mindedness. It seems to make us stronger and more mature. Well, we would think that, wouldn't we?’In this engaging and erudite essay, critically acclaimed writer Julian Barnes explores what is involved when we change our minds: about words, about politics, about books; about memories, age and time.

Speaking My Mind - Leo Varadkar
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERShortlisted for Biography of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025‘Refreshingly honest’ Guardian'Whatever your views on Varadkar and his political legacy, you'll be gripped by these stories.’ Sunday Independent ‘There is gossip, revealing text exchanges and entertaining titbits … the reader gets a good sense of the pressures of serving as taoiseach.’ Diarmaid Ferriter, Irish Times---Leo Varadkar shares his fascinating experience as Irish prime minister at a time of much change and turbulence, in this remarkably honest memoir. Leo Varadkar was an unlikely Taoiseach – the youngest on taking office in 2017, the first Taoiseach to be gay, and the first person of colour to be Taoiseach. Equally unlikely was his decision to bow out of politics in his mid-forties. Now, liberated from the constraints of office, he tells his fascinating story with characteristic courage and candour, and provides a unique insight into the formation and evolution of a senior politician. In Speaking My Mind Leo Varadkar shares his pride in helping to bring about transformational changes, such as marriage equality. He describes experiences that only a prime minister could have – speaking frankly to Pope Francis on the legacy of church abuses, connecting with Barack Obama about both being the ‘tall, dark guy with the funny name’, navigating challenges such as the pandemic and the fallout from Brexit. And he writes honestly about the costs that go with the immense privilege of holding high office. Speaking My Mind is a revealing, intimate and important memoir from a singular public figure. ---'A great read ... fascinating insights' Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio 1 ‘Candid … engagingly honest’ Financial Times ‘A lively and easy read and can help in future examinations of a very fast-changing Ireland’ Irish Independent‘Breezy, readable’ The Times‘Brings to life some of the behind-the-scenes moments of what has been a transformative period in Irish and global politics’ Sunday Independent

Art on My Mind - Bell Hooks
A rich, thought-provoking collection of essays, critiques and interviews from the influential author of Ain''t I a Woman and All About Love‘If one could make a people lose touch with their capacity to create, lose sight of their will and their power to make art, then the work of subjugation, of colonization, is complete. Such work can be undone only by acts of reclamation.’In a collection of essays, critiques and interviews, bell hooks responds to the ongoing dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticising art and aesthetics in a world increasingly concerned with identity politics. hooks shares her own experience of the transformative power of art whilst exploring topics ranging from art in education and the home to the politics of space and imagination as a revolutionary tool. She positions her writings on visual politics within the ever-present question of how art can be empowering within the Black community.Speaking with artists such as Carrie Mae Weems and Alison Saar, and examining the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Art on My Mind is a generous and expansive body of work that has become increasingly relevant since it was first published in 1995. Here is an essential tool for understanding the contemporary moment, and a fundamental text for any reader concerned with making and sustaining a democratic artistic culture.

How Confucius Changed My Mind - Charles B. Jones
A compelling exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought.In this exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought, you are invited on a path of transformation. The unexpected depths to be found in Confucianism surprised author Charles Jones when he began teaching East Asian religions to undergraduate students thirty years ago. It raised fascinating questions relevant to life today, like what does it mean to be human? To understand the Confucian answers to these questions, Jones familiarizes us with Confucius, his main successors, and the situations to which their writings responded.But this is not another textbook introduction to Chinese religion and thought. Jones is an engaging, inquisitive scholar and thought provocateur whose ideas address problems all of us face throughout our lives. By engaging with the Confucian ideas explored in this book, like rethinking “human nature” and uncovering cultural presuppositions previously unnoticed, you might discover new horizons and possibilities for your life that previously you never could have imagined. And you will discover Confucius in an all-new light as a profound shaper of modern thought as much as Aristotle and Lao-tzu—whose revolutionary ideas have the power to change your mind for the better.

To Melody’s utter shock and delight, she and two friends of her choice are chosen to participate—and this year’s symposium is in England! Melody finally gets to fly on an airplane, and even the airline’s somewhat clumsy handling of her wheelchair can’t dampen her excitement to be in London. There, Melody meets kids from all over the world who are rallying for greater accessibility and more thoughtful planning on how to make the world more equal for every kid, no matter the unusual challenges they face.

My Life: It's a Long Story - Nelson Willie
Five decades in the music industry, 100 albums, 10 Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Add high-profile activism for the legalisation of marijuana, the foundation of a ground-breaking philanthropic organisation, and a much-publicised personal life - Willie Nelson''s is a story like no other. Born during the great depression in 1933 and raised by his grandparents, he began singing in dance halls and Honky Tonks at the age of 13, as an escape from working as a cotton picker in the fields of Arkansas. He went on to write some of the most popular country songs of all time, and to record some classic versions of others, including Crazy, Bring Me Sunshine, Always on my Mind and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. An American icon who still tours extensively and headlines music festivals, Willie Nelson and his music have found their way into the hearts and minds of fans all over the world.Now 81 years of age, Nelson leaves no experience or moment unturned as he shares the full story. From his drive to write music to the women in his life; from his collaborations to his bankruptcy to the foundation of Farm Aid; Nelson shares, in his distinct voice, soaring highs and painful lows.

Cesta k plnosti křesťanského života - Hannah Whitall Smithová
Klasika křesťanské duchovní literatury, inspirace pro život v důvěrném vztahu s Bohem. Hannah Whitall Smithová byla pensylvánská kvakerka, která svým pojetím duchovního života odvážně vykročila z tíživé a pochmurné spirituality rozšířené mezi tehdejšími křesťany. Bůh je v jejím pohledu milující otec, který nás doprovází ve velkém dobrodružství života. Kniha je plná radosti, přestože autorčin život nebyl mnohdy lehký. Jak často připomínala, Písmo je "prozářené radostnou zvěstí". Její kniha vyzařuje právě tuto evangelní radost a od svého prvního vydání v roce 1870 inspirovala už přes dva milióny čtenářů. Nakladatelství Triton s radostí předkládá čtenářům první české vydání této úspěšné knihy.

Nečakaný zlom - Joyce Smithová, Ginger Kolbabová
Boh použil roky poznačené ťažkosťami, keď sa zdalo, že život je skôr o bolesti a strate ako o nádeji a milosrdenstve, aby Smithovcov pripravil na niečo výnimočné – na smrť a vzkriesenie ich syna. Keď sa štrnásťročný John v jedno januárové ráno prepadol do ľadového jazera, Joyce Smithová a jej rodina zdanlivo prišli o všetko. John ležal v nemocnici bez života viac ako šesťdesiat minút, ale jeho matka sa odmietla vzdať. Pozbierala všetku svoju vieru a silu a mocným hlasom volala k Bohu, aby jej syna zachránil.Vtom Johnovo srdce zázračne ožilo a začalo opäť biť.V nasledujúcich dňoch John vyvrátil všetky prognózy a dlhoročné skúsenosti medicínskych odborníkov. Po šestnástich dňoch odvtedy, ako sa pod ním preboril ľad a bol vyše hodiny klinicky mŕtvy, vyšiel z nemocnice po vlastných, úplne uzdravený. Nečakaný zlom je o hlbokej pravde, že modlitba skutočne funguje. Boh ju využíva na to, aby nám pripomínal, že je stále s nami a že keď k nej pripojíme aj neotrasiteľnú vieru, nič nie je nemožné.

Hotel svět - Ali Smithová
Britská autorka Ali Smithová se českému čtenáři představila poprvé v roce 2005 výborem Jiné povídky a jiné povídky. V próze Hotel svět přivádí svůj osobitý styl poutající nápaditostí, poetičností, vtipem i hloubkou k ještě vybroušenější dokonalosti. Pětice hlasů po řadě vypráví v pěti časových rovinách o jednom skončeném životě. Každý promlouvá jakoby jiným jazykem, jinak zachycuje život žitý a skončený v hotelu, zmenšeném odrazu světa, poodkrývá jiné střípky skládající se do obrazu, kterému úplnou podobu dává až hlas šestý, jímž je čtenářovo vnímání. Vyprávění se čte jedním dechem jako napínavá báseň v próze, lehce plynoucí a přitom pronikající hluboko, ponechávající dostatečný prostor čtenáři, jeho pohledu a duši.
