Kniha známé české publicistky obsahuje přes 120 fejetonů a úvah z posledního desetiletí, reagujících na příznačné situace a události nedávné doby v Česku i v neuralgických bodech rozpadlého sovětského impéria - v Gruzii, Podněstří, Náhorním Karabachu.

The author of Damaged tells the story of the Dawn, a sweet and seemingly well-balanced girl whose outward appearance masks a traumatic childhood of suffering at the hands of the very people who should have cared for her. Dawn was the first girl Cathy Glass ever fostered. Sweet and seemingly well balanced girl, Dawn's outward appearance masked a traumatic childhood so awful, that even she could not remember it. During the first night, Cathy awoke to see Dawn looming above Cathy's baby's cot, her eyes staring and blank. She sleepwalks—which Cathy learns is often a manifestation in disturbed children. It becomes a regular and frightening occurrence, and Cathy is horrified to find Dawn lighting a match while mumbling it's not my fault in her sleep one night. Cathy discovers Dawn is playing truant from school, and struggling to make friends. More worryingly she finds her room empty one night, and her pillow covered in blood. Dawn has been self-harming in order to release the pain of her past. When Dawn attempts suicide, Cathy realizes that she needs more help than she can give. Dawn's mother eventually confides in her that Dawn was sent away to live with relatives in Ireland between the ages of 5 and 9, and Cathy soon realizes that the horrors Dawn was exposed to during this time have left her a very disturbed little girl.

Now available in a single, abridged paperback, Ian Kershaw's "Hitler" is the definitive biography of the Nazi leader. Ian Kershaw's two volume biography, "Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris" and "Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis", was greeted with universal acclaim as the essential work on one of the most malign figures in history, from his earliest origins to the final days of the Second World War. Now this landmark historical work is available in one single, abridged edition, tracing the story of how a bitter, failed art student from an obscure corner of Austria rose to unparalleled power, destroying the lives of millions and bringing the world to the brink of Armageddon. "Supersedes all previous accounts. It is the sort of masterly biography that only a first-rate historian can write". (David Cannadine, "Observer"). "The Hitler biography for the twenty-first century". (Richard Evans, "Sunday Telegraph"). "I cannot imagine a better biography of this great tyrant emerging for a long while". (Jeremy Paxman). "Magisterial...anyone who wishes to understand the Third Reich must read Kershaw, for no one has done more to lay bare Hitler's morbid psyche". (Niall Ferguson, "Sunday Telegraph")."For the present generation, Kershaw's Hitler stands out as a clear beacon of truth, illuminating a dark age of terror and mendacity". ("Mail on Sund"). "An achievement of the very highest order". (Michael Burleigh, "Financial Times"). Ian Kershaw (b. 1943) was Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield from 1989-2008, and is one of the world's leading authorities on Hitler.

On the occasion of a major, touring, retrospective exhibition, a collaboration between Tate Modern, London, the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin and Centre Pompidou, Musée national d'art modern in Paris, this important book covers Richter's entire career. Spanning nearly five decades, and coinciding with the artist's 80th birthday, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is a major chronological retrospective that groups together significant moments of this remarkable painter's career. It includes portraits based on photographs such as the famous Betty 1988, abstractions, subtle landscapes, colour charts, works on paper, mirrors and three important glass constructions.Gerhard Richter was one of the first German artists to reflect on the history of National Socialism, creating paintings of family members who had been members, as well as victims of, the Nazis, as well as canvases reminiscent of images of the bombing of Dresden. In 1988 he produced the 15-part work October 18 1977, a sequence of black and white paintings based on images of the Baader Meinhof group. Richter has continued to respond to significant moments in history; the final room of the exhibition includes September 2005, a painting of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York in 2001.Alongside works responding to historical events, the show presents many of Richter's most ambitious abstract paintings from his 1974 colour chart containing 4096 different coloured squares, to his 20-metre long Stroke of 1980, presented for the first time outside Germany, to the magisterial and richly coloured Forest squeegee paintings of 1990, and culminating in the hauntingly beautiful six-part series Cage from 2006 on long loan to Tate. Gerhard Richter: Panorama is curated by Tate Director Nicholas Serota and Mark Godfrey.

I am got, I know not how, into a cold unmetaphorical vein of infamous writing, and cannot take a plumb-lift out of it for my soul; so must be obliged to go on writing like a Dutch commentator to the end of the chapter, unless something be done...' Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr Slop, Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, "Tristram Shandy" is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.

Prof. PhDr. Petr Wittlich, CSc., bezpochyby největší znalec české malby v období secese, přináší ve své nejnovější knížce zasvěcený obraz české malby od 80. let 19. století do roku 1918. Poskytuje čtenáři erudovaný výklad období, kdy se malířství ve třech generačních vlnách secesí vymaňovalo z tísnivé akademičnosti rakouskouherské monarchie a nabývalo na svébytnosti. Autor tyto zásadní proměny českého malířství sleduje ve dvou liniích jednak je to aspekt institucionální, zahrnující zakládání spolků, časopisů, reformy uměleckých škol, stipendijní pobyty, výstavy… s důrazem na Prahu druhým hlediskem je utváření stylu, výrazu, frekvence výtvarných motivů a reflexe dané reality v tvorbě velkých malířských osobností naplňujících i přesahujících tradičně myšlenou secesi.

O Sir, how much uneasiness must I suffer, to counterbalance one short morning of happiness!' In this comic and sharply incisive satire of excess and affectations, beautiful young Evelina falls victim to the rakish advances of Sir Clement Willoughby on her entrance to the world of fashionable London. Colliding with the manners and customs of a society she doesn't understand, she finds herself without hope that she should ever deserve the attention of the man she loves.

Román zavedie čitateľa na perifériu mesta, do polorozpadnutého domu ukrytého kdesi uprostred bývalého továrenského komplexu medzi vysokými pecami Vítkovických železiarní. Tak ako chátrajú, hrdzavejú a rozpadávajú sa výrobné haly továrne, tak chátrajú aj ľudia, ktorí v dome ešte prežívajú. Príbeh s detektívnou zápletkou opisuje osudy štyroch susedov, ktorí pri hľadaní zdanlivo najjednoduchšieho spôsobu života spáchajú zločin. Všetky postavy spája minulosť prežitá v klietke továrne, neschopnosť zmeniť svoj život k lepšiemu, neschopnosť predstaviť si samých seba ako tvorcov vlastného osudu. Spoločne vegetujú medzi stenami paneláku, ďaleko od očí ľudí a záujmu úradov. V tichosti sa stávajú svedkami a napokon aj páchateľmi zločinu. Každý, kto ich chce vyviesť z pohodlia ich poriadku, sa pre nich stáva nebezpečným. Nie je nič ľahšie ako zbaviť sa nepohodlnej osoby..

Treba to mať neustále na pamäti. Inak upadnete do mánie veľkosti alebo, čo je ešte horšie, do cynizmu vo vzťahu k druhým ľuďom. Človek, ktorý si neváži ľudského života, nemôže pojať duchovný svet.
