Equal Rites
The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex...This is a third hilarious adventure by the author of The Colour of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic.""

Equal Rites
It is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet, supported on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation. The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex...Terry Pratchett turns his acute satirical eye on sexual equality and chauvanism in his hilarious third Discworld novel.
Equal Rites
They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check that the baby in question was a son. Everybody knows that there's no such thing as a female wizard. But now it's gone and happened, there's nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin...

Adulthood Rites
'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' GLORIA STEINEM
'Her evocative, often troubling, novels explore far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it means to be human' NEW YORK TIMES
From the groundbreaking, award-winning author of Parable of the Sower: one young man with extraordinary gifts must reconcile his own heritage before he can change the fate of humanity.
Lilith's son Akin looks like an ordinary child. His family live together on Earth, but not in complete peace. The Oankali saved humanity years before, compelled by the desire to create an extraordinary new race of children. But there are those who resist the Oankali and the salvation they offer.
The first of his kind, Akin is more powerful than any other being. He understands the desire to fight for the independence of humanity. He also fears that, if left alone, humanity will destroy itself again.
And when young Akin is stolen from Lilith and their hybrid family, he soon faces an impossible choice. But first he must reconcile with his own heritage in a world already torn in two.

Mayhem - Daemonic Rites (Live) CD
Mayhem je nórska blackmetalová skupina, ktorá vznikla v roku 1983. Kapela hrá nesmierne surovú a brutálnu hudbu. Mayhem však nemusel ťažiť z hudby, jeho členovia ho preslávili mimo umeleckej sféry. Mnoho prezývok členov skupiny bolo inšpirovaných piesňami skupiny Hellhammer, bubeník Jan Axel Blomberg si dokonca dal samotné meno kapely, Hellhammer, ako prezývku. 15. septembra vychádza na Century Media Records živý album „Daemonic Rites“. Nahrávka je komplexným pohľadom na chaotické a intenzívne vystúpenia legendárnej kapely z rôznych miest po celom svete za posledné dva roky. Album sľubuje, že bude vzrušujúcou zvukovou cestou pre fanúšikov a svedectvom bezkonkurenčnej schopnosti Mayhem naživo. „Daemonic Rites“ predstavuje vyvrcholenie éry „Daemon“, ktorá sa začala v roku 2019 vydaním ich kriticky uznávaného štúdiového albumu „Daemon“. Cesta pokračovala divokým EP „Atavistic Black Disorder“ v roku 2021, takže publikum bolo hladné po ďalších. Táto najnovšia živá konglomerácia slúži ako konečná kapitola tejto pamiatky.

Free and Equal
An uplifting vision of a new, egalitarian liberalism, and a bold practical programme for how we can reinvigorate democracy and transform capitalism Despite the enormous problems we face and widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo, it's surprisingly hard to find a coherent vision of what a better, fairer society would look like. Free and Equal provides that vision. In this hugely ambitious and exhilarating debut, philosopher and economist Daniel Chandler argues that the ideas we need are hiding in plain sight, in the work of the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls.
Although they have revolutionised philosophy, his ideas have had little impact on politics - until now. Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our political and economic institutions. This is a book brimming with hope and possibility - a much-needed alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics, setting out a 'realistic utopia' that can galvanise people from all walks of life.
Free and Equal has the potential not only to transform contemporary debate, but to offer a touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to come, cementing Rawls's place in political discourse, and firmly establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.

Equal Power
Why is gender inequality so stubbornly persistent? Power. Even today, power remains concentrated in the hands of men right across the worlds of business, politics and culture. Decisions taken by those with power tend to perpetuate gender inequality rather than accelerate solutions. And those who see the problem often feel powerless: ingrained sexism and gender inequality can seem too huge to solve.
Equal Power holds a mirror up to society, showing the stark extent of gender inequality while making the case that everyone has the power to create change. Whether you are a teenage student, a global CEO or a taxi driver, there is much we can do as friends, consumers, parents and colleagues to create a world of Equal Power. In this inspiring and essential book, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and former Government Minister for Women Jo Swinson outlines the steps we can all take, small and large, to make our society truly gender equal.

Zrcadlová četba - Animal farm A2-B1 (Farma zvířat)
All animals are equal – but some are more equal than others. “It is the history of a revolution that went wrong.” This renowned fable is a timeless satire of idealism and corrupting in?uence of power. After its publication in August 1945 it has strengthened Orwell’s position among the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Všechna zvířata jsou si rovna – ale některá jsou si rovnější něž jiná. „Je to příběh o revoluci, která se nepodařila.“ George Orwell Tato proslulá bajka je nadčasovou satirou idealismu a úplatného vlivu moci. Po svém vydání v srpnu 1945 upevnila Orwellovo postavení mezi nejvýznamnějšími autory dvacátého století.
