Dějiny nejsou příběhem, ale skládají se z příběhů. Každý je vidí jinak, každý je jinak prožívá. Tato kniha nabízí možnost podívat se na tehdejší dynamickou dobu deseti páry očí, které měly lepší schopnost vidět ten správný okamžik tehdejšího času. Kniha je osobní, zejména fotografickou reflexí událostí roku 1989 očima tehdejších studentů žurnalistiky a dalších škol či fotografů a kameramanů, kteří většinou stáli teprve na počátku své profesní dráhy. Dokumentovali první demonstrace začátkem roku 1989 a zejména dramatické listopadové události. Zachytili i momenty symbolizující konec totalitního režimu, ať již v podobě odstraňování ostnatého drátu a volného průchodu přes hranice či první prezidentské inaugurace Václava Havla nebo prvních svobodných voleb po sametové revoluci. Reportážní fotografie nepořizovali v rámci školního či pracovního zadání, nýbrž z vlastní iniciativy, v euforii z převratných událostí té doby a s motivací zachytit alespoň určité momenty zásadní společenské změny. Přes sto sedmdesát fotografií tak zároveň vydává autentické svědectví o autorech samých, o jejich entuziasmu a zápalu pro věc. Fotografická kniha deseti kameramanů Zpravodajství ČT proto ani nemůže být uvedena jinak než předmluvou jednoho z jejich kolegů - studenta fakulty žurnalistiky patřícího mezi hlavní organizátory studentské "revoluční novinařiny", stávajícího ředitele zpravodajství a sportu České televize Zdeňka Šámala.

Kniha „Dělat okna tam, kde dříve byly zdi“ se věnuje současné evropské figurativní malbě ze sbírky předního českého sběratele Roberta Runtáka. Je rozdělená do tří hlavních částí zpracovaných třemi autory, které se věnují jak stěžejním tendencím sbírky samotné, tak sběratelství a v neposlední řadě také osobě sběratele a jeho pomyslné cestě k sběratelství a umění jako takovému. Kniha má však i ambici k obecným přesahům. Především text britské historičky umění Jane Nealové Odcizený jedinec, ztráta sebe sama a otázka lidskosti je pozoruhodným exkurzem nejen do problematiky současné figurativní malby, ale také jistou úvahou nad současným stavem našeho bytí. Zaobírá se mimo jiné odcizením člověka a hledáním smyslu vlastní existence v kulisách dnešního světa, tak bytostně ovlivněného blahobytem, masovými médii a sociálními sítěmi. Právě na tato témata reagují mnozí autoři zastoupení ve sbírce. V knize je představeno více než třicet autorů. Kniha však není jen o významných autorech současné evropské scény, jako jsou Martin Eder, Daniel Richter, Tim Eitel, Jonathan Wateridge či Jake a Dinos Chapmanové, nýbrž zároveň o celé řadě mladých talentovaných malířů. Logicky nemůže být vyčerpávající, je ovšem jednou z mála zpráv o umělcích tvořících v současné době v Evropě. Důležitou součástí knihy je obsáhlý rejstřík autorů ve sbírce zastoupených, zahrnující jejich profily i výběr nejzásadnějších výstav. Kniha je bilingvní česko-anglická, je k ní připojen samostatný šestnáctistránkový katalog, který dokumentuje podobu stejnojmenné výstavy v Galerii výtvarného umění v Ostravě. (patro.cz)

So much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in today’s world –and what does it take to do it well? From 2009 to 2014, Cathy Ashton was the EU’s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, effectively Europe's foreign policy supremo responsible for coordinating the EU's response to international crises. Arriving in Brussels as a relative novice to international diplomacy, she faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent times in living memory. Decades-old certainties were swept away in days. Hope rose and fell, often in a matter of hours. From the frozen conflict of Ukraine to the Serbia-Kosovo deal, there were challenges, failures and moments of success. She encountered dictators and war criminals, and witnessed the aftermath of natural disasters, military action, and political instability. Working with US politicians and counterparts including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Burns, she negotiated historic settlements, such as the Iran nuclear deal. An ‘honest broker’, she navigated the needs of opposing politicians to chart a path towards collaboration and stability. Now Ashton takes us behind the scenes to show us what worked and what didn’t, and how it felt to be in ‘the room where it happened’. From Serbia to Somalia, Libya to Haiti, she offers essential insight into how modern diplomacy works, examining the tools needed to find our way through the many challenges we face today.

eBook: Účel knihy je trojí. Nejprve shrnuje výsledky vědecké diskuse o prvních kapitolách knihy Izaiáš způsobem, který je srozumitelný neprofesionálnímu běžnému čtenáři. Pokouší se v kostce zachytit hlavní poselství každé jednotky tohoto textu a zároveň zachovat složitost textu a integritu moderního vědeckého poznání. Druhým cílem je nastínit paralely mezi Izaiášem 1–27 a společnostmi a problematikou postkomunistických zemí, aby bylo možné znovu se naučit a aplikovat původní poselství a poučení. Zatřetí, stručnost a aktualizace mají podnítit zájem čtenáře o podrobnější studium této velmi vlivné části Písma. The purpose of the book is threefold. First, it summarizes the results of scholar discussion on the first 27 chapters of the book of Isaiah in a way that understandable to a non-professional, general reader. It attempts to capture the main message of each unit of this text in a nutshell, while preserving the complexity of the text and integrity of modern scholarship. The second goal is to draw parallels between Isaiah 1—27 and the societies and issues of post-communist countries, so the original message and lessons can be relearned and applied to them. Third, the brevity and the actualization are to stimulate the interest of the reader in a more in-depth study of this very influential part of the Scripture. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A chilling and revelatory expose of the KGB’s renaissance, Putin’s rise to power, and how Russian black cash is subverting the world. In Putin’s People, former Moscow correspondent and investigative journalist Catherine Belton reveals the untold story of how Vladimir Putin and his entourage of KGB men seized power in Russia and built a new league of oligarchs. Through exclusive interviews with key inside players, Belton tells how Putin’s people conducted their relentless seizure of private companies, took over the economy, siphoned billions, blurred the lines between organised crime and political powers, shut down opponents, and then used their riches and power to extend influence in the West. In a story that ranges from Moscow to London, Switzerland and Trump’s America, Putin’s People is a gripping and terrifying account of how hopes for the new Russia went astray, with stark consequences for its inhabitants and, increasingly, the world. ‘A fearless, fascinating account … Reads at times like a John le Carré novel … A groundbreaking and meticulously researched anatomy of the Putin regime, Belton’s book shines a light on the pernicious threats Russian money and influence now pose to the west’ Guardian Catherine Belton's book 'Putin's People' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 09-05-2022.

The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Dear children, Josef Čapek, the writer, wrote for you the Tale About a doggie and a pussycat. For this Tale he also drew lots of very nice pictures. When he was writing and drawing all of this, little Alice was sitting on his lap. She was his daughter and he loved her very much, and little Alice loved her father. Because they were fond of each other like that, Mr. Čapek wrote and drew his story just like his Alice wished. Maybe she even suggested a bit what he should write and draw. However, we are not sure about that, we are just quessing. We would like to tell you that we are in good health and that we just began to be published as a serial for children. Now, as far as we know, you are going to be told in different books how we were washing the floor, how we made a cake, how we were writing a letter, how doggie tore his pants, then about a doll which was crying faintly and also about a proud night shirt. We are looking forward to tell you more. We hope that you feel the same. So bye and regards, Yours PUSSYCAT and DOGGIE (patro.cz)

Dear children and others, we are informing you that everything is in the best disorder, and so we are again meeting you in this next book from the Tales About a Doggie and a Pussycat, which is all about the two of us, written by the author Mr. Josef Čapek. We want to add to this that we are both very happy that he had portrayed us so nicely in his pictures. This new book about us is named How They Were Making a Cake, because once we really made such a big cake since as it happened we both had a name day and a birthday at the same time. However, it was also for the last time, because we found out that we should not overdo even a good thing; but we can’t reveal more because then you would easily guess how all of this ended. So have a good read and perhaps don’t show our recipe for a real proper cake to your mum. Ask her instead to make you a cake for your name day or birthday from her own head, or from a cookery book.

A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant origins of Rudyard Kipling’s world-famous children’s classic From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The Elephant’s Child," Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories have delighted readers across the world for more than a century. In this original study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into the writer’s life and work―including the tragedy that shadows much of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals' development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals Kipling’s public and private lives―and sheds new light on a much-loved and tremendously influential classic.

Ten ridiculously stereotypical consumer victims (a yuppie, a housewife, a retiree, a jock, a bible thumper, a cowboy, a preppy, a gamer, a goth, and a white suburban gangsta) find themselves unable to leave the mall one day. There is nothing stopping them. The doors are unlocked. Other shoppers are able to come and go as they please. But for some inexplicable reason, these ten people cannot pry themselves away from their shopping miasma. The mall closes, and they won't leave. Days pass, and they're still there, eating meals in the food court and sleeping in department store bedroom displays. Then they begin to die off, one by one, murdered by a mysterious killer, and they still won't allow themselves to escape.Then things really start to get weird . . .The Menstruating Mall is both a modernized take on Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel and a parody of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

Od raného středověku byla Praha, s jejími stovkami věží dotýkajícími se nebe, považována za jedno z nejkrásnějších měst Evropy. Přes historii plnou násilných převratů a hořkých období, zůstává Praha živé město, známé pro své světově proslulé architektury, kulturu, historické památky a přírodní krásy. Zažijte si krásu a často i tragickou historii tohoto "zlatého města" prostřednictvím šedesátidevíti párů pozoruhodných fotografií v Praze dřívější a současné. Prohlédněte si nejznámější pražskou památku, Karlův most (dokončen v roce 1400) vedle fascinující fotografie zničení mostu po povodni v roce 1890. Navštivte Zlatou uličku, domov zlatníků v 17. století a později domov Franze Kafky. Některé budovy vypadají podobně jako před staletími, jiné se změnily k nepoznání. Praha nese jizvy válek a okupace. Porovnejte si fotografie Staroměstského náměstí, uvidíte zničení gotické kaple a novogotické křídlo po útoku nacisty v roce 1945.

Happiness shouldn't be this hard... When it first gets announced, the Leteo Institute's memory-alteration procedure seems too good to be true to Aaron Soto; miracle cure-alls don't tend to pop up in the Bronx projects. Aaron can't forget how he's grown up poor, how his friends all seem to shrug him off, and how his father committed suicide in their one-bedroom apartment. He has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it's not enough. Then Thomas shows up. He doesn't mind Aaron's obsession over the Scorpius Hawthorne books and has a sweet movie setup on his roof. There are nicknames. Aaron's not only able to be himself, but happiness feels easy with Thomas. The love Aaron discovers may cost him what's left of his life. But since Aaron can't suddenly stop being gay, Leteo may be the only way out. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Always astonishing, the qualities of brickwork continue to be explored by the world’s best architects until today. A key characteristic of the material’s success since time immemorial has always been the ease of planning due to its standardized production and the resulting harmonized building processes. In addition to longevity, amazing constructive possibilities as well as inexpensive and at the same time environmentally friendly production are among the qualities that are particularly valued today. Using computer software solutions, and even robots in some cases, today’s architects are deploying brick in inventive ways: perforated, pixelated, undulating and more. The featured works from the past and present are a demonstration of how the use and popularity of bricks has not diminished one bit over the millennia, and is even gaining popularity today.

eBook: Do you love humorous and amusing stories? Then you will love this short story written by none other than Jane Austen when she was still a young teenager. \"In a retired part of the County of Sussex, there is a village (for what I know to the contrary) called Evelyn, perhaps one of the most beautiful spots in the south of England. A gentleman passing through it on horseback about twenty years ago, was so entirely of my opinion in this respect, that he put up at the little alehouse in it and enquired with great earnestness whether there were any house to be left in the parish.\" With over-the-top characters and the hero\'s exhilarating freedom, this novel is a fascinating look into young Austen\'s mind.

The maze of human memory--the ways in which we accommodate and alter it, deceive and deliver ourselves with it--is territory that Kazuo Ishiguro has made his own. In his previous novels, he has explored this inner world and its manifestations in the lives of his characters with rare inventiveness and subtlety, shrewd humor and insight. In When We Were Orphans, his first novel in five years, he returns to this terrain in a brilliantly realized story that illuminates the power of one's past to determine the present.Christopher Banks, an English boy born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, is orphaned at age nine when his mother and father both vanish under suspicious circumstances. Sent to live in England, he grows up to become a renowned detective and, more than twenty years later, returns to Shanghai, where the Sino-Japanese War is raging, to solve the mystery of the disappearances.The story is straightforward. Its telling is remarkable. Christopher's voice is controlled, detailed, and detached, its precision unsurprising in someone who has devoted his life to the examination of details and the rigors of objective thought. But within the layers of his narrative is slowly revealed what he can't, or won't, see: that his memory, despite what he wants to believe, is not unaffected by his childhood tragedies; that his powers of perception, the heralded clarity of his vision, can be blinding as well as enlightening; and that the simplest desires--a child's for his parents, a man's for understanding--may give rise to the most complicated truths.A masterful combination of narrative control and soaring imagination, When We Were Orphans is Kazuo Ishiguro at his best.
