Audiokniha: Existuje spousta vánočních příběhů, ale tohle je zaručeně ten první… Má mnoho jmen, ale vypadá pokaždé stejně – bělovlasý muž s plnovousem, který na Vánoce nosí hodným dětem dárky. Koho by napadlo, že i on kdysi dávno býval malým chlapcem? Jmenoval se Nikolas a narodil se ve Finsku v rodině chudé tak, že jeho jedinou hračkou byl panáček vyřezaný z tuřínu. O maminku brzy přišel a jeho tatínek se jednoho dne připojil ke královské výpravě hledající daleko na severu bájné elfy. Jenže se dlouho nevracel, a tak se ho Nikolas se svým myším kamarádem vydal hledat. A to byl začátek velkého napínavého dobrodružství, v němž nechybí elfové, kouzla, skřítci, létající sobi, ba ani troll a na jehož konci bude lidský svět o poznání šťastnějším a magičtějším místem k životu… Mimořádně úspěšná kniha pro děti se v roce 2021 dočkala neméně kouzelné filmové adaptace. „Andersenovská nevinnost příběhu je protkána temnotou a černým humorem ve stylu Roalda Dahla.“ – Tony Bradman, The Guardian. „Úžasná směsice pohádky a vtipu. Pro malé i velké. Prostě báječné. Tohle je vánoční kniha roku.“ – The Sun „Kniha potěší dospělé i děti. Budoucí klasika.“ − The Bookseller. „Matt Haig napsal věčný a nejnesmrtelnější vánoční příběh, jaký byl za poslední desetiletí vydán. Budoucí generace budou mít z Chlapce jménem Vánoce stejnou potěchu a radost, jakou přináší cukroví, sněhuláci a smetanové likéry...“ − Stephen Fry. „Nová sváteční klasika. Vtipná, smutná a skvělá. Ukázalo se, že jsme znali jen polovinu příběhu.“ − Simon Mayo.

Longlisted for the 2025 PEN / EO Wilson Literary Science Writing AwardBig Think #39;s Best Science Book of 2024 A theoretical physicist takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey—found in no other book (Science)—to discover how the universe generates everything from nothing at all: If you want to know what #39;s really going on in the realms of relativity and particle physics, read this book (Sean Carroll, author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe). In Waves in an Impossible Sea, physicist Matt Strassler tells a startling tale of elementary particles, human experience, and empty space. He begins with a simple mystery of motion. When we drive at highway speeds with the windows down, the wind beats against our faces. Yet our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second, and we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil when, as Einstein discovered, matter warps space, and space deflects matter? The answer, Strassler reveals, is that empty space is a sea, albeit a paradoxically strange one. Much like water and air, it ripples in various ways, and we ourselves, made from its ripples, can move through space as effortlessly as waves crossing an ocean. Deftly weaving together daily experience and fundamental physics—the musical universe, the enigmatic quantum, cosmic fields, and the Higgs boson—Strassler shows us how all things, familiar and unfamiliar, emerge from what seems like nothing at all. Accessible and profound, Waves in an Impossible Sea is the ultimate guide to our place in the universe.

When in 1999 30-year-old Matteo B. Bianchi published his debut novel - a scathing portrait of the sentimental education of a gay boy from Milan in the 1980s - the timing couldn t be worse: he had just lost S., the man he d lived with for 7 years, who one day, a few months after they broke up, decided to hang himself in their apartment. Matteo is the first to find the body, to scream without being able to scream. From that day a dark labyrinth ensnares him, a whirlpool of suffering, made up of contradictory feelings and constant bewilderment, which unites all the so-called survivors of the suicide of a loved one. Matteo seems to be the unhappy protagonist of a rare event as he feels a unique pain, perversely special. However, at the same time, even in the darkest days, the writer who lives in him starts taking notes. At first, they are just fragments, shards of an existence shattered into a thousand pieces, echoes of feelings alive like nerves that Matteo reports unabashedly on the page. Then, they slowly transform and, memory after memory, become a profound and intimate conversation with S. and the pain, between the temptation to let go and the desire to get back to life. Both radical and vulnerable, intimate and universal, The Life of Those Who Remain is a devastating but luminous novel about surviving the aftermath of trauma. Bianchi produces pages of excruciating beauty, recounting his journey to redemption, hope, and rebirth, and showing how, even in the depths of the most unspeakable pain, writing-his own, and also powerful works such as Joan Didion s The Year of Magical Thinking and Ocean Vuong s On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous-can still save.

Předkládaný katalog Arménské knižní umění v průběhu staletí ? Ti, kdo pili z toků Ducha vychází při příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy, která se uskuteční v Národní knihovně České republiky od 11. do 25. října 2016. Kniha obsahuje fotografie a popisky (ve třech jazycích ? angličtině, arménštině a češtině) sedmdesáti pěti manuskriptů a tisků, které vybral a okomentoval Haig Utidjian. Důraz je kladen na rané tisky, mj. vynikající editiones principes arménské Bible, Hymnáře a jiných liturgických knih. Zvláštního prostoru se dostalo dílům sv. Řehoře z Nareku a arménské církevní hudbě. Autor se zaměřil na představení typických rysů této tvorby, jež spočívá v jednotném propojování nejlepších dobových trendů evropské knižní ilustrace s prvky arménské tradice rukopisných iluminací. Publikace rovněž obsahuje významné příspěvky na témata přítomná na výstavě ? věnuje se také arménsko-českým literárním vztahům či genocidě Arménů v Osmanské říši během 1. světové války. Katalog má povahu vědeckého pojednání, může však sloužit též jako příruční kniha pro všechny milovníky krásných tisků či jako půvabný a nádherně ilustrovaný úvod do arménské kultury a spirituality. The present volume, published in connection with the Exhibition held in Prague s Klementinum The Art of the Armenian Book through the Ages: ‘They who imbibed the effusions of the Spirit ” in 2016, includes photographs and descriptions in English, Armenian and Czech of seventy-five publications and manuscripts selected and presented by Haig Utidjian. There is an emphasis on early and rare publications, such as the magnificent editiones principes of the Armenian Bible, Hymnal and other liturgical volumes. The works of St. Gregory Narek and Armenian sacred music are particularly well covered. The author aims to present a most distinctive tradition ? one which succeeded in achieving a seamless combination of the best of contemporaneous European book illustration with elements of Armenian manuscript illumination; this may, in turn, serve as a metaphor for wider interactions in music and in spirituality, where too the Armenian tradition was enriched without losing its unique character. The volume includes substantial essays on a variety of related subjects, placing the exhibits in context, and also discussing Czech-Armenian literary interactions. The volume may be recommended as a handbook for researchers as well as a coffee-table volume for book lovers from all backgrounds ? not least those seeking an attractive and beautifully illustrated introduction to Armenian culture and spirituality.
