For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Around 1900, the phenomenon known as Wagnerism saturated European and American culture. Such colossal creations as The Ring of the Nibelung, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal were models of formal daring, mythmaking, erotic freedom, and mystical speculation. A mighty procession of artists, including Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Paul Cézanne, Isadora Duncan, and Luis Bunuel, felt his impact. Anarchists, occultists, feminists, and gay-rights pioneers saw him as a kindred spirit. Then Adolf... (alza.cz)

In the second installment of Juno Dawson's "irresistible" fantasy trilogy (Lana Harper), a group of childhood friends and witches must choose between what is right and what is easy if they have any hope of keeping their coven--and their world--from tearing apart forever. Niamh Kelly is dead. Her troubled twin, Ciara, now masquerades as the benevolent witch as Her Majesty's Royal Coven prepares to crown her High Preistess. Suffering from amnesia, Ciara can't remember what she's done--but if she wants to survive, she must fool Niamh's adopted family and friends; the coven; and the murky Shadow Cabinet--a secret group of mundane civil servants who are already suspicious of witches. While she tries to rebuild her past, she realizes none of her past has forgotten her, including her former lover, renegade warlock Dabney Hale. On the other end of the continent, Leonie Jackman is in search of Hale, rumored to be seeking a dark object of ultimate power somehow connected to the upper echelons of the British government. If the witches can't figure out Hale's machinations, and fast, all of witchkind will be in grave danger--along with the fate of all (wo)mankind. Sharp, funny, provocative, and joyous, Juno Dawson's sequel reimagines everything you think you knew about her coven and her witches in a story that spans continents and dives deep into the roots of England and its witchcraft. Ciara, Leonie, Elle, and Theo are fierce, angry, sexy, warm--and absolutely unapologetic as they fight for what they believe in, all in the name of sisterhood. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: Tato velice uznávaná válečná autobiografie se stala ve Spojených státech i v Japonsku bestsellerem. Historici si ji cení pro její pohled na hladinovou námořní válku v Tichomoří japonskýma očima. Její autor přežil víc než sto bojových plaveb proti Spojencům a v Japonsku se mu říkalo Nepotopitelný kapitán. Kapitán Hara popisuje, jak během druhé světové války velel japonskému torpédoborci ve všech velkých bitvách v Tichém oceánu – v zátoce císařovny Augusty, v Korálovém moři, při vylodění na Filipínách, u Guadalcanalu, u ostrova Savo a u Midwaye. V srpnu 1943, při plavbě Blackettskou úžinou, zpozoroval ohnivou kouli exploze blízko torpédoborce „Amagiri“ před svým torpédoborcem „Šigure“ a nařídil posádce své lodě, aby vystřelila na potápějící se torpédový člun PT-109, kterému velel poručík John F. Kennedy. Jako kapitán křižníku „Jamagi“ napínavě popisuje, jak sotva přežil jeho potopení spolu s bitevní lodí „Jamato“ při sebevražedné plavbě k útoku na americkou armádu, vyloďující se na Okinawě. Podrobně líčí výcvik pilotů sebevražedných člunů, které měly narážet do spojeneckých lodí, blížících se k Japonsku, a vyhazovat je do vzduchu. Kapitán Hara, pro své krajany hrdina, představuje to nejlepší z japonských kapitánů hladinových lodí – zkušený, rozhodný, agresivní. Navíc si zachoval etické zásady hodné svého samurajského dědečka. Neváhal ocenit odvahu a nápaditost Američanů a nebál se ani kritizovat své chyby a slabiny vyšších velitelů. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A drawn and handwritten work of non-fiction about the medium of photography, the photography world, and how the invention of photography influenced people's thinking and behavior. It explores topics such as the camera's wormhole-like capabilities, why being photographed causes stage fright, how the present is becoming a stage for the future, analog vs. digital photography, the relationship between the photographer and the photograph, and how we are losing the possibility of gaining an authentic memory of a moment from a photographic attempt to conserve it. "A funny and delicate philosophical survival kit for a better understanding of the influential, omnipresent shadow of photography.” -Joan Fontcuberta "This work by Magda Stanová is a visual essay, not only because she works with numerous photographic reproductions (famous as well as completely private ones), but also and perhaps primarily because of how she thoughtfully contrasts technical perfection with simple drawings which eliminate everything accessory and show only what is essential, though not in the way a chart does, since even the drawings come alive here and lead their own cheerful life.” -Miroslav Petříček Magda Stanová is a multi-disciplinary artist and a senior lecturer at the Department of Theory and History of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. She is the author of Algorithms in Art (2016) and a co-author of The Pedestrian's Venice (2017). (knihydobrovsky.cz)
