Each could join the secretive Alexandrian Society, whose custodians guard lost knowledge from ancient civilizations. Their members enjoy a lifetime of power and prestige.Yet each decade, only six practitioners are invited – to fill five places. Contenders Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable enemies, cosmologists who can control matter with their minds. Parisa Kamali is a telepath, who sees the mind’s deepest secrets.Reina Mori is a naturalist who can perceive and understand the flow of life itself. And Callum Nova is an empath, who can manipulate the desires of others. Finally there’s Tristan Caine, whose powers mystify even himself.Following recruitment by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they travel to the Society’s London headquarters. Here, each must study and innovate within esoteric subject areas. And if they can prove themselves, over the course of a year, they’ll survive.Most of them. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha: Atlasův paradox je dlouho očekávané pokračování bestselleru Atlasova šestka – zaručeně obsahuje ještě víc touhy, podrazáctví, zrady a chaosu. Šesti čarodějům se naskytla životní příležitost. Pět z nich je nyní členy Společnosti. Před nimi leží dvě cesty. Všichni si musí vybrat stranu: chtějí svět zachovat – nebo ho zničit? V tomto elektrizujícím druhém dílu Atlasovy šestky je Alexandrijská společnost odhalena taková, jaká je: tajné společenství se syrovou, svět měnící mocí. Cena za poznání je však vysoká a vyžaduje, aby si každá postava vybrala stranu. Která spojenectví se udrží a která vás zahubí? ŠEST ČARODĚJŮ. DVĚ RIVALITY. JEDEN BADATEL. A MUŽ, KTERÝ DOKÁŽE PROCHÁZET SNY. „Atlasova šestka byla románem, který pochopil, po čem lidé volají – po postavách, které mají krajně pochybnou morálku a neustále bojují s nutkáním zabít nebo ošukat jeden druhého. To lidé chtějí. To chci já.“― chai, book reviewer @proyearner. „Pro nadšené fanoušky, dark academia‘.“― Publishers Weekly. „Fascinující příběh zvrácených ambicí a magie, který vás donutí pochybovat o vlastní morálce. Protože tuhle přehlídku nelítostných postav budete milovat i nenávidět.“― Amanda Foody, autorka bestsellerů podle New York Times. „Atlasův paradox pokračuje tam, kde Atlasova šestka skončila. Hrdinové se musí postavit proti sobě, protože dokonce i ve světě plném magie je v knihovnách méně pozic než kvalifikovaných uchazečů. Smutné, ale totálně sadisticky zábavné a sexy.“― CrimeReads.

We all know we should be learning and growing. But how do you make time while under pressure to perform?Too many of us suffer from 'chronic performance': we feel constant pressure to look like we know what we're doing, to always be on, to rack up success after success and have all the answers, all because we assume that greater effort leads to greater success.

In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brené Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are." (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A fascinating examination of the messy and beautiful reality of family life and how, if we embrace it, we can improve our relationships and maybe even enjoy Christmas. What makes a good parent?

There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. They have been the homes and workplaces of men and women whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. Yet while that way of life fades away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories.From a blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, to an intrepid young girl saving ships from wreck at the foot of her father's lighthouse, and the plight of the lighthouse crew cut off from society for forty days, this is a glorious book full of illuminating stories that will transport the reader to the world's most isolated and inspiring lighthouses.With over thirty tales that explore the depths to which we can sink and the heights to which we can soar as human beings, and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans and curious facts, A Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World is as full of wonder as the far flung lighthouses themselves.Translated from Spanish by Daniel Hahn (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour' William BlakeWilliam Blake was a poet and artist. Born in Soho in the eighteenth century, the son of a shopkeeper, he is now acclaimed as a radical left-field artist. Most recently, the Tate held an exhibition of his work: 'Magnificent ...reveal's Blake's vision at its most vivid and strange' GUARDIANBlake's written work was equally vivid. A major poet of the Romantic age, the full range of his poetry includes the joyful and sorrowful, the childlike and complex - and illustrates his original and prophetic vision. Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic opinions, he is now revered for the depth of his poetry and art, and the philosophical undercurrents intrinsic to all his creative work.'If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out''The imagination is not a state; it is the human existence itself' (knihydobrovsky.cz)
