The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig

A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express, until now—from the creator of the popular online project of the same name.Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig began his epic quest to fill the gaps in the language of emotion. Born as a website in 2009, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has garnered widespread critical acclaim, inspired TED talks, album titles, cocktails, and even tattoos. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows “creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,” says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By turns poignant, funny, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition—from “astrophe,” the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to “zenosyne,” the sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives, which have far more in common than we think. With a gorgeous package and beautifully illustrated throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives, word nerds, and people everywhere.

Vše jsme okořenili množstvím dobových fotografií, z nichž mnohé jsou zveřejněny poprvé a přibližují život "veselého ghetta" i nezasvěceným bez nutnosti obsáhlých komentářů. Každý titul má zcela nový obal, vždy jsme oslovili některého z výtvarníků, který měl ke kapele a jejímu uměleckému vyjádření blízko a snažili jsme se tím vytvořit kompaktní celek, který by propojil vše, co bylo na Plastic People unikátní a neopakovatelné.

The Almost Nearly Perfect People - Michael Booth

The Danes are the happiest people in the world, and pay the highest taxes.''Neutral'' Sweden is one of the biggest arms manufacturers in the world.Finns have the largest per capita gun ownership after the US and Yemen.54 per cent of Icelanders believe in elves.Norway is the richest country on earth.5 per cent of Danish men have had sex with an animal.Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians, on and off, for over ten years, perplexed by their many strange paradoxes and character traits and equally bemused by the unquestioning enthusiasm for all things Nordic and hygge that has engulfed the rest of the world. He leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success and, most intriguing of all, what they think of each other. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterised by suffocating parochialism and populated by extremists of various shades.''The next Bill Bryson.’ New York TimesWinner of the Best Narrative Travel Book Award from the British Guild of Travel Writers

The Plastic People of the Universe - Pašijové hry velikonoční (Vinyl LP)

Vinyl LP album The Plastic People of the Universe - Pašijové hry velikonoční, 9 písní. 180 g černý vinyl, na titulu obraz Davida Němce "Den a světlo", rozkládací obal, v jedné kapse LP laguer master (celkem 49 (!) minut hudby), v druhé kapse remake původního obalu v originální velikosti, uprostřed konvolut fotografií Jaroslava Kukala, Ondřeje Němce a Petra Prokeše, mastering Ondřej Ježek - studio Jámor. Skupina, která změnila život mnoha lidem, vychází kompletně znova na Vinyl LP. Podařilo se nám obstarat původní pásy, které geniální Mistr zvuku Ondřej Ježek ve studiu Jámor rozebral na prvočinitele a zase slepil dohromady, čímž dosáhl výrazně lepšího zvuku, vynikly detaily, o kterých jsme neměli ani tušení a vše obalil novou energií. A protože si myslíme, že legendou "o kapele, která svou hudbou porazila komunismus" bylo řečeno už vše a několikrát, soustředili jsme se opravdu na geniální hudbu Mejly Hlavsy, nadčasové texty a specifický sound kapely, který neměl ve světě obdoby. Vše jsme okořenili množstvím dobových fotografií, z nichž mnohé jsou zveřejněny poprvé a přibližují život "veselého ghetta" i nezasvěceným bez nutnosti obsáhlých komentářů. Každý titul má zcela nový obal, vždy jsme oslovili některého z výtvarníků, který měl ke kapele a jejímu uměleckému vyjádření blízko a snažili jsme se tím vytvořit kompaktní celek, který by propojil vše, co bylo na Plastic people unikátní a neopakovatelné. V tomto případě je titulní obraz dílem Davida Němce a booklet obsahuje fotografie Abbe Libánského a Jaroslava Kukala. Vydání jsou vybavena anglickými překlady. 1. Exodus 12 02:17 2. Nebo jití jest Hospodinovo 07:00 3. Kázání na hoře 04:50 4. Nepotřebujeme krále 03:32 5. Čist jsem od krve 01:20 6. Zhřešil jsem 05:18 7. Trojjediná 04:49 8. Otče 10:40 9. Noc temná 09:10

Every moment Drew's had to prove her wrong since then has failed, so Jessie's opinion of him hasn't improved. That remains the case when he agrees to let her stay with him during renovations, under one condition: she pretends to be his girlfriend for upcoming work festivities.For the sake of her brother, Jessie is willing to make the tough situation work, and giving Drew a taste of his own medicine sounds . . . intriguing.
