THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - A mind-blowing epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before, inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books.‘An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds.’ William Gibson, author of Neuromancer‘What an extraordinary book! China Miéville’s brilliance as a writer combined with Keanu Reeves’s quite magnificently wild imagination make for a compulsive read. Unlike anything else. Boom!’ Stephen Fry‘A gripping, hugely intelligent and beautifully-realised nightmare. It’s clever, brilliant and horrifying.’ Daily Mail‘A rattlingly good read . . . has much in common with Reeves'' best film roles.’ Sunday Times‘A pulpy, adrenaline-fueled thriller, but it’s also a moody, experimental novel about mortality, the slippery nature of time and what it means to be human.’ New York Times‘Exhilarating’ BBC Radio 4 Front Row''Bloody fun.'' Telegraph''Reeves and Mieville’s novel turns a (literally) comic book into a meditation on what it means to be truly alive that’s both affecting and enigmatic.’ SFX‘A sprawling blend of hi-octane action sequences and philosophical meditations on life, death and immortality that calls to mind Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light… An absorbing combination of sci-fi, mythology and teleology.’ Irish Times-------------------------------She said, We needed a tool. So I asked the gods.There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s known simply as “B.”And he wants to be able to die.In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.In a collaboration that combines Miéville’s singular style and creativity with Reeves’s haunting and soul-stirring narrative, these two inimitable artists have created something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.‘A delight . . . let Keanu Reeves punch and shoot his way onto your summer reading list … a philosophical, violent thriller about an immortal soldier pondering the nature of existence, The Book of Elsewhere has an elegance that might surprise you for a pulp thriller.’ Polygon‘Stylistically daring, combining sf, fantasy, parascience, history, and action. It’s violent, propulsive, and introspective, ultimately offering a philosophical exploration of identity and the meaning of mortality, chaos, and entropy. . . whatever it is, it works.’ Booklist‘It’s clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its often playful, even poetic language. . . a well-written treat for fans of modern mythologizing.’ Kirkus ReviewsSunday Times bestseller, August 2024

Hluboko ve výzkumném křídle Muzea přírodních a historických věd je ukryt cenný exemplář, jenž se podaří objevit jen jednou za celá desetiletí: dokonalá a perfektně zachovalá obří oliheň. Ovšem ta zcela náhle a nevysvětlitelně mizí... Stopy oné krajně opovážlivé krádeže vedou hluboko do ponurého londýnského podsvětí mezi příslušníky rozmanitých kultů, falešné apoštoly a úkladné vrahy. Záhy se ukazuje, že neobvyklý tvor může být chápán nejen jako biologický vzorek nesmírné hodnoty, ale i jako ztělesnění temného boha, jenž má své zapřisáhlé stoupence. A lze ho využít i jako spoušť k nadcházející apokalypse. Blížícímu se konci světa se však do cesty postaví muzejní kurátor v doprovodu odpadlíka kultu, tedy pokud přežijí válku gangů, do níž se nevědomky zapletli... Román Kraken je samostatný příběh s mrazivě lovecraftovskou zápletkou od autora, jenž jako chameleón střídá žánry, aby pokaždé překvapil a uchvátil své věrné čtenáře.

Když je v pozoruhodném a dekadentním městě Beszel kdesi na okraji Evropy nalezeno tělo zavražděné ženy, vypadá to jako všední případ pro inspektora Tyadora Borlúa z Oddělení těžkých zločinů. Ale jakmile se Borlú pustí do pátrání, důkazy začínají napovídat, že je na stopě konspiraci mnohem podivnější a nebezpečnější než si jen dokázal představit. Brzy se v ohrožení ocitne nejen on, ale i jeho rodina. Borlú musí navštívit jedinou pozemskou metropoli stejně zvláštní jako je ta jeho vlastní. Jeho cesta vede skrze krajně neobvyklé hraniční pásmo. Jde o putování stejně tak duševní jako fyzické, o posun ve vnímání, vidění neviděného. Cílem je sousední bohaté a prosperující město Ul Qoma, s nímž Beszel již dlouho soupeří.

Na palubě záoceánské lodi je do rozvíjející se novokrobuzonské kolonie Nova Esperium převážena skupina vězňů a otroků, jejichž těla byla přetvořena do groteskních biologických podob. Avšak za moře neplují jen oni. Přidává se k nim hrstka cestovatelů, z nichž každý má důvod k rychlému odjezdu z města. Mezi nimi je i Bellis Chladnovína, talentovaná lingvistka, jejíž tlumočnické služby jí napomáhají nejen vydat se na cestu, nýbrž i uniknout hroznému trestu. Je totiž bývalá milenka Izáka Dana der Grimnebulina, vynikajícího odbojného vědce, který v Novém Krobuzonu nevědomky rozpoutal pravé peklo. Bellisin plán je jednoduchý: žít mezi novými kolonisty, dokud nebude bezpečné vrátit se do rodného města. Ale když loď ve Vzdutém oceánu přepadnou piráti a exemplárně popraví kapitána a jeho zástupce, přeživší pasažéři jsou odvezeni na Armadu, města postaveného z vraků uloupených lodí, do volně plavoucí mořské mocnosti, které vládne prapodivná dvojice zvaná Milenci. Na Armadě dostanou všichni práci a dokonce i přetvoři jsou si na ní rovni s lidmi, kaktusíky a raky. Nicméně nikdo ji nesmí opustit. Bellis, v zajetí osamělá a zahořklá, ví, že dát najevo odbojné myšlenky znamená rozsudek smrti. Místo toho musí pokradmu shánět informace o úmyslech Armady. Odpověď lze nalézt u amorfních tvorů, které se nikým nepozorováni vznášejí míle pod hladinou moře – děsivých bytostí, jež si předsevzaly podivný a hrůzyplný úkol…

China Miéville je literární fenomén známý bezbřehou originalitou. Mohlo by se zdát, že po četných úspěších v románové tvorbě nemůže již ničím překvapit, ale to by byl velký omyl. Právě kratší práce souboru Pátrání po Jakeovi a jiné příběhy ukazují, jak skvěle umí využít volnosti, kterou mu jen zdánlivě omezený prostor povídek nabízí. Každá z nich odráží jako střípek zrcadla obraz jednoho z nejdůležitějších objevů fantastické prózy posledního desetiletí. Vedle bohatého jazyka a neskutečné invence zde přirozeně najdete i některé vypravěčské slabiny, ty však pouze dotvářejí komplexní pohled na celou autorovu pozoruhodnou tvorbu. Pátrání po Jakeovi a jiné příběhy jsou jako první souborné vydání kratších prací Chiny Miévilla doslova povinnou četbou pro všechny příznivce jeho neopakovatelného stylu, vždyť právě povídky mnohdy vypoví o autorovi řadu dosud neznámých skutečností...

The Book of Five Rings is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. The Book of Five Rings was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Thomas Cleary''s translation is immediately accessible, with an introduction that presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. Along with Musashi''s text, Cleary translates here another important Japanese classic on leadership and strategy, The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical and spiritual insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way of the warrior.

First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing, and how the Earth and the Moon came to be, in this unique non-fiction picture book.A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our blue and green planet for millennia.Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'Rocks remember'. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth.And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature picking him up and throwing him into a box.That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.

''1,100 men went into the water…’So begins the critically acclaimed and haunting monologue by actor Robert Shaw as grizzled shark hunter Quint in the movie Jaws, in which he describes his experience as a survivor of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in the dying days of the Second World War. The Indianapolis was returning from delivering the first atomic bomb to Tinian, and on its way to the Philippines, when a Japanese submarine hit it with two torpedoes. The ship sank in twelve minutes, leaving hundreds of crew floating in the ocean with hardly any food, water or lifeboats. During the next five days most died from a combination of exposure, salt poisoning, dehydration and the worst mass shark attacks in recorded history. Only 316 of 1,195 crew survived. This historic event provides the motivation for Quint’s iconic character in Jaws.As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws, the first summer blockbuster, author and host of the podcast ‘The Jaws Obsession’ Ryan Dacko has written the definitive prequel novel to the movie, telling the story of Quint. Beginning with him adrift in the Philippine Sea after the sinking, and after the end of the war following him first to San Francisco and then to Amity Island, we read of how and when he acquires his many scars, how he comes to own his boat, the Orca, and how he develops his technique for hunting sharks as seen in the movie. Along the way we meet figures from history such as Charles McVay, captain of the doomed Indianapolis, and characters from the movie Jaws such as Larry Vaughn, the slippery mayor of Amity Island, ichthyologist Matt Hooper and Quint’s mate Hershel Salvatore. This novel, the result of extensive research by the author, expands the Jaws universe, and adds crucial backstory that enhances the experience of watching what many still consider to be the greatest movie ever made. It is a story of overcoming odds, survivor’s guilt, PTSD, one man’s quest for justice, and lots of sharks.

Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world that we experience has challenged philosophers for centuries. How then do we even begin to think about 'minds' that are not human?Science now has plenty to say about the properties of mind. In recent decades, the mind - both human and otherwise - has been explored by scientists in fields ranging from zoology to astrobiology, computer science to neuroscience. Taking a uniquely broad view of minds and where they might be found - including in plants, aliens, and God - Philip Ball pulls these multidisciplinary pieces together to explore what sorts of minds we might expect to find in the universe. In so doing, he offers for the first time a unified way of thinking about what minds are and what they can do, arguing that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured, and to think about the 'space of possible minds'.By identifying and mapping out properties of mind without prioritizing the human, Ball sheds new light on a host of fascinating questions. What moral rights should we afford animals, and can we understand their thoughts? Should we worry that AI is going to take over society? If there are intelligent aliens out there, how could we communicate with them? Should we? Understanding the space of possible minds also reveals ways of making advances in understanding some of the most challenging questions in contemporary science: What is thought? What is consciousness? And what (if anything) is free will?The more we learn about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, and to imagine the potential minds of computers and alien intelligences, the greater the perspective we have on if and how our own is different. Ball's thrillingly ambitious The Book of Minds about the nature and existence of minds is more mind-expanding than we could imagine. In this fascinating panorama of other minds, we come to better know our own.

Kniha - autor Judea Pearl; Dana Mackenzie, 432 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history.Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured.The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written.They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

Long hailed as a masterwork of modern German literature, The Book of Hours (1905) marks the origin of Rainer Maria Rilke’s distinctive voice and vision—where clarity of diction meets unexpected imagery, where first-person poetry discovers its full lyric possibility. In these audacious poems, a devout but intimately candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity. “What will you do, God, when I die?” Rilke’s speaker asks, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness and exaltation in his search for meaning.In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, “the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post), makes Rilke’s achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow combines striking fidelity to the German text with an uncanny ability to convey not just its tones and cadences but the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke’s best poems. Mystical and moving, The Book of Hours retains its power to astonish.

A splendid reimagining of key stories from the Bible, by the author of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. A man named Saul is sent to search for some lost donkeys and on the way is named king of his people. The queen of a remote African realm travels for three years with her multitudinous retinue to meet the king of Jerusalem and pose him a few riddles. A man named Abraham hears a divine voice speaking words that reverberate throughout the Bible: 'Go away from your land, from your kindred and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show you'. In The Book of All Books, Roberto Calasso weaves together stories of promise and separation from one of the founding texts of Western civilisation. These tales of grace and guilt, of the chosen and the damned, cast many Biblical figures and indeed the whole book in a light as astonishing as it is disquieting. The Book of All Books is part of a larger work which began with The Ruin of Kasch (1983) and includes The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, Ka, and The Celestial Hunter.
