Dvojjazyčné zpracování nesmrtelného příběhu Tři mušketýři.„Jeden za všechny a všichni za jednoho!“ Tři mušketýři – – Porthos, Aramis a Athos – jsou nejodvážnejšími šermíři ve Francii a královou zvláštní osobní stráží. Když přichází d´Artagnan do Paříže, aby se připojil k jejich radám, stanou se z nich jeho životní přátelé. Když prohnaný kardinál zosnuje proti královské rodině ničemný plán, musí ji čtveřice energických čepelí zachránit za každou cenu.
Fix the System, Not the Women
10 years after founding the Everyday Sexism Project, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates connects the dots between the 'isolated incidents' of violence against women and the institutional and systemic misogyny that is so deeply ingrained in our society. Every three days in the UK, women are murdered by their current or former partners. 137 women worldwide are killed by a family member every day.These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a devastatingly clear pattern. But it is a pattern we are so used to seeing that we simply don't notice it anymore.These incidents are the product of a society in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that it has simply become part of our daily lives. This book will lay these patterns bare for everyone to see. Joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.In Isolated Incidents, Laura puts forward her own bold and ambitious solution for combating misogyny and violence against women - one that includes structural change and tackles institutionalised prejudice. Enough is enough.
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Izrael mezi třemi kontinenty / Israel on the Crossroads of Three Continents
Když 7. června 1967 obsadily jednotky Izraelských obranných sil východní Jeruzalém a jeho Staré Město, do té doby kontrolované Jordánskem, upravila Naomi Šemer svou jen pár týdnů starou píseň "Jeruzalém ze zlata". Skladba, oslavující krásu města v srdci Judských hor, se rázem stala druhou, neoficiální hymnou židovského státu a obletěla celý svět. Už tři dny po spojení rozděleného města ukončilo Československo s Izraelem diplomatické styky a píseň o městě ze zlata a mědi, kde vane horský vzduch s vůní borovic, mohli Češi a Slováci slýchat jen na zakázaných rozhlasových stanicích. Na dobré vztahy Masarykovy republiky se sionistickým hnutím a dobu, kdy poválečné Československo sehrálo klíčovou roli při vzniku Státu Izrael, navázala federální vláda až v únoru 1990, kdy její tehdejší ministr zahraničí Jiří Dienstbier přivítal v Praze šéfa izraelské diplomacie Moše Arense. Od té doby je pro české a slovenské cestovatele zase otevřeno nejen sedm bran jeruzalémského Starého Města, ale celý Stát Izrael ve své až neuvěřitelné pestrosti a kráse.
Po úspěšné knize Arménie - země hor, klášterů a vína vydává Robin Böhnisch svou další velkorysou obrazovou publikaci. Při její přípravě zúročil nejen desítky svých cest do Svaté země, ale také celoživotní zájem o přírodu a její ochranu, nebo hlubokou znalost blízkovýchodního vinařství. I díky tomu jeho kniha vede čtenáře Izraelem po jiných cestách, než průvodci - ať už tištění, nebo ti živí. Publikace sama konečně nemá ambici být bedekrem, je ale lákavou pozvánkou tam, kde si podávají ruku biblické dějiny s moderním světem. Do vskutku fascinující země na křižovatce tří kontinentů.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we?ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let?s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn?t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is?a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let?s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited?"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

More Happy Than Not
In his twisty, gritty, profoundly moving New York Times bestselling-debut, Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx.
In the months after his father's suicide, it's been tough for sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness but with the support of his girlfriend Genevieve, he's slowly remembering what that might feel like. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron starts hanging out with a new guy, Thomas. Aaron's friends notices, and they're not exactly thrilled. But Aaron can't deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself.
Since Aaron can't stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is...
Maybe Not
Colleen Hoover, the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us brilliantly brings to life the story of the hilarious and charismatic Warren in this novella.
When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.
Or maybe not.
Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.
Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

I was not Born for Quiet
Thanks to Janko Kráľ, as John Minahane has written, the Váh is Slovakia’s most mystical river. Again and again the poet returns to his community via that flagship poem of Slovak romanticism, The Enchanted Maiden in the Váh and Odd Johnny. Characteristic in Kráľ’s poetry is his focus on the inward side of events and stories, turned inside out, since one has to turn one’s clothing inside out/ and leap in the middle of the Váh. By this means, metaphysical space is opened. There the spirit is so blended together with reality that it becomes possible to break the spell on the maiden (motherland) in the river Lethe, which is life’s inverted clepsydra. Time always freshly poses the question, which young man wants to give body to his thought. And what unwinds from that is not only a defiant faith in the mission of poetry, but also Janko Kráľ’s courage to stand up for the language and national rights of Slovaks in 1848. To give the time a face where our identity is mirrored.
To this day we do not know exactly how Janko Kráľ looked in reality. Using the surviving descriptions of Kráľ’s appearance, he therefore created a metaphysical portrait with the digital tool Metahuman Creator, which is designed for creating figures for video games. Subsequently he placed this virtual figure in a contemporary context, in the form of manipulated photographs from the mass media.

Nezapomeňte na mne / Not Forget about Me
Publikace přibližuje pomocí dobových dokumentů a fotografií vykonstruovaný politický proces s JUDr. Miladou Horákovou a dalšími osobnostmi, který se na pokyn vedení Komunistické strany Československa uskutečnil na jaře 1950. Na jeho přípravě se podíleli sovětští poradci vyslaní do Československa na podzim 1949. Doprovázela ho masivní dehonestační a propagandistická kampaň. Katalog vychází ze stejnojmenné výstavy, která byla v červnu 2020 připravena při příležitosti sedmdesátého výročí těchto tragických událostí.
The publication presents, with the help of contemporary documents and photographs, the fabricated political trial with JUDr. Milada Horáková and other co-defendants, which took place in the spring of 1950 upon the instructions of the leadership of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. In the preparation of this political show-trial, Soviet advisers sent to Czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1949 took active part. The trial was accompanied by a massive defamatory and propaganda campaign. The publication is based on the eponymous exhibition organised in 2020 to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of these tragic events.

The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything
Like circles of a Venn diagram, Mimi and Art Brotherton have always come as a pair. Devoted siblings, they're bound together in their childhood home by the tragic death of their parents.
Art believes that people - including his sister - are incapable of making sensible decisions when it comes to love. That's what algorithms are for.
Mimi knows that her brother is a mathematical genius. But she believes that maths isn't the answer to everything. Not quite. Especially when it comes to love.
Still, when Mimi begins her search for a soulmate, Art's insistence that she follow a strict mathematical plan seems reasonable. The arrival of Frank, however - a romantic stargazer who is definitely not algorithm-approved - challenges the siblings' relationship to breaking point. As their equilibrium falters, Art's mistrust of Frank grows, but so do Mimi's feelings. Something about Frank doesn't quite add up, and only Art can see it . . .
The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .

Lore Olympus: Volume Three
Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short storyfrom creator Rachel Smythe.
"It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . ."
All of Olympus-and the Underworld-are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.
Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods' expectations. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she's worked so hard to hide.
As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations-of their family, friends, and enemies-both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It's fate.
This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 50-75 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

Chce si ujasnit a zopakovat základní předložky pomocí krys a popelnice? Tento skvěle ilustrovaný průvodce představuje složitost anglického jazyka, slovíčka i gramatiku.
Celkem 17 zábavných kapitol nás seznámí s nejrůznějšími úskalími anglického jazyka, na které autorka - grafička, která tuto knihu vytvořila, narazila během svého pobytu v New Yorku.
English Is Not Easy nenabízí zkrácené fráze o extrémních sportech a atmosférických podmínkách, které se dozvíte v obvyklých učebnicích angličtiny. Tato kniha nabízí slovní zásobu situací, ve kterých se dospělý čtenář skutečně ocitá. Potřebujete někoho urazit? Ano, i urážky tu najdete. A imbecil je z nich ta nejslušnější.

Pro samouky, kteří se chtějí zlepšit v konverzaci, a pro „věčné začátečníky“, je tato kniha nápaditým a poutavým ilustrovaným dobrodružstvím na cestě angličtinou.
