So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral…for all the wrong reasons.

Brunetti is forced to confront the price of loyalty, to his past and in his work, as a seemingly innocent request leads him into troubling waters.What role can or should loyalty play in the life of a police inspector? It's a question Commissario Guido Brunetti must face and ultimately answer in Give Unto Others, Donna Leon's splendid 31st installment of her acclaimed Venetian crime series.Brunetti is approached for a favor by Elisabetta Foscarini, a woman he knows casually, but her mother was good to Brunetti's mother, so he feels obliged to at least look into the matter privately, and not as official police business. Foscarini's son-in-law, Enrico Fenzo, has alarmed his wife (her daughter) by confessing their family might be in danger because of something he's involved with. Since Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti logically suspects the cause of danger is related to the finances of a client. Yet his clients seem benign: an optician, a restaurateur, a charity established by his father-in-law. However, when his friend's daughter's place of work is vandalized, Brunetti asks his own favors--that his colleagues Claudia Griffoni, Lorenzo Vianello, and Signorina Elettra Zorzi assist his private investigation, which soon enough turns official as they uncover the dark and Janus-faced nature of a venerable Italian institution.Exploring the wobbly line between the criminal and non-criminal, revealing previously untold elements of Brunetti's past, Give Unto Others shows that the price of reciprocity can be steep.

Family begins with a capital eff. I'm wondering how many more f*cking ‘phases' I have to endure before my children become civilised and functioning members of society? It seems like people have been telling me ‘it's just a phase!' for the last fifteen bloody years. Not sleeping through the night is ‘just a phase.' Potty training and the associated accidents ‘is just a phase'. The tantrums of the terrible twos are ‘just a phase'. The picky eating, the back chat, the obsessions. The toddler refusals to nap, the teenage inability to leave their beds before 1pm without a rocket being put up their arse. The endless singing of Frozen songs, the dabbing, the weeks where apparently making them wear pants was akin to child torture. All ‘just phases!' When do the ‘phases' end though? WHEN?

From bestselling author of the Shatter Me series and the National Book Award-nominated A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi, comes a stunning novel about love and loneliness, navigating dual-identity as a Muslim teenager in America, and reclaiming your right to joy. It's 2003. It's been several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq, and the political world has evolved. Shadi, who wears hijab (a visible allegiance to Islam) keeps her head down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation, and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture. Shadi hears the fights after services, the arguments between families about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing and saying as a community but she does not engage. She's too busy drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots. Shadi is named for joy, but she's haunted by sorrow. Her brother is dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart, and her best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of course, there's the small matter of her heart It's broken. Shadi has tried to navigate the remains of her quickly-shattering world by soldiering through, saying nothing, until finally, one day, everything changes. She explodes. Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also A Star. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Translated by George Chapman, with Introductions by Jan Parker. Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer's heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia.Chapman's Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and readable translations of Homer. Chapman's freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought.

Unikátní pohled do zákulisí. Kniha The Beatles: Get Back vás přenese do posledního roku této celosvětově známé kapely. Fanoušci a všichni milovníci The Beatles se konečně dočkali. Přes deset let očekávaná kniha o legendární kapele je zcela jiná než jakákoli před ní. V The Beatles: Get Back je zaznamenáno vytvoření posledního alba Let It Be přímo vlastními slovy členů The Beatles, která jsou doplněna dříve nepublikovanými fotografiemi ze zkoušek pořízenými Ethanem A. Russellem a Lindou McCartneyovou. Padesát let po nahrávání alba Let It Be a natočení filmu, který je dokumentuje, vychází tato kniha jako doprovod třídílného dokumentárního filmu Petera Jacksona The Beatles: Get Back . Kniha nás přenese do ledna 1969, je to začátek posledního roku The Beatles jako kapely. Album The BEATLES (The White Album – Bílé album) je na prvních místech hitparád a známá čtyřka se schází v Londýně kvůli novému projektu. Po 21 dní v různých nahrávacích studiích s kamerami a rekordéry dokumentujícími každodenní zkoušení kapela nacvičuje a vylepšuje mnoho svých nových i starých skladeb. Vše vrcholí známým koncertem na střeše přinášejícím do centra Londýna krátký oddech od všeho shonu a nebývalý rozruch. The Beatles: Get Back vypráví příběh zkoušek kapely prostřednictvím přepisů konverzace jejích členů a všech přítomných. Díky jemným zásahům editora Johna Harrise máme jedinečnou možnost vše pozorovat z pohledu mouchy na stěně, být přímo u toho a hrát a zpívat a vymýšlet lepší verše současně s kapelou, která je fenoménem po několik desítek let. Tento naprosto unikátní pocit je ještě znásobený původními fotografiemi pořízenými přímo na místě či snímky ze zmíněného 55hodinového filmového záznamu. Vypráví se, že tyto zkoušky byly předzvěstí rozpadu kapely. Nicméně je nutné dodat, že to bylo zároveň nejplodnějším a vrcholným obdobím The Beatles, o kterém si nyní můžeme přečíst přímo od našich milovaných Brouků. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by 'philosopher kings'. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A stunning Penguin clothbound edition of Homer's great epic, in E. V. Rieu's classic translation.The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus' killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer's theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background..Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.E. V. Rieu initiated Penguin Classics with Allen Lane and his famous translation of the Odyssey was the first book published in the series in 1947. The Iliad followed in 1950. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Vaclav Havel's remarkable and rousing essay on the tyranny of apathy, with a new introduction by Timothy Snyder Cowed by life under Communist Party rule, a greengrocer hangs a placard in their shop window: Workers of the world, unite! Is it a sign of the grocer's unerring ideology? Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves? Written in 1978, Vaclav Havel's meditation on political dissent - the rituals of its suppression, and the sparks that re-ignite it - would prove the guiding manifesto for uniting Solidarity movements across the Soviet Union. A portrait of activism in the face of falsehood and intimidation, The Power of the Powerless remains a rousing call against the allure of apathy. 'Havel's diagnosis of political pathologies has a special resonance in the age of Trump' Pankaj Mishra (knihydobrovsky.cz)
