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.

Olívia a on
Olíviin život sa krásne naplnil. Okrem milovanej hudby sa súčasťou jej dní stala Sofia, stará pani, ktorú si nesmierne obľúbila, a Oliver. Vhupol do jej života nečakane... a rovnako nečakane ju jeho prítomnosť hreje a teší. Srdce má plné lásky. Vďaka týmto dvom ľudom sa jej ľahšie znášajú problémy doma, ktoré nemajú konca. Ale v živote je máločo jednoduché. Strata a bolesť si k nám zakaždým nájdu cestu. Neobídu ani Olíviu... Ako si s tým všetkým poradí? Našťastie život nielen berie, ale aj dáva, a tak Olívia stretáva na svojej ceste nových ľudí, ktorí liečia jej ubolenú dušu a vrátia jej na tvár úsmev.
A teraz vám niečo prezradím. Keď som dopísala Olíviu, zostalo mi za ňou smutno. Obľúbila som si ju a niečím mi bola veľmi blízka... Rozprávala som sa o svojich pocitoch s manželom a on mi okamžite, bez zaváhania povedal, že sa s ňou predsa nemusím rozlúčiť, môžem písať ďalej... A mal pravdu.
Pekné čítanie, moji milí. Dúfam, že pokračovanie Olíviinho života vás poteší. Mňa písanie tešilo, a veľmi.
Ukážka z textu
„Vnímam ju ako svoju rodinu. Viem, možno to znie zvláštne, ale fakt je, že skutočnú rodinu si nevyberáme. Tú druhú si môžeme. No a ja som si vybrala Sofiu.“
„A ona teba,“ usmeje sa Miška.
„Niekedy myslím na to, že zomrie,“ prizná tíško Olívia, keď nasadnú do auta. „A strašne to nechcem.“ „Na také veci nemôžeš myslieť!“ zvolá Miška precítene. „Len si tým ubližuješ.“
„Viem, ale... je stará.“
„No a? Môže žiť ďalších desať rokov. Aj viac.“
„Chcela by som to,“ prikývne Olívia a odtláča od seba zvláštny smútok... Pozrie na priateľku. „Si si istá, že ideme domov?“
„Som. Si unavená.“
„Ale... možno si chcela ísť na trhy alebo sa potúlať po meste...“
„Na trhoch som bola, keď si mala skúšku,“ uškrnie sa Miška. „A v kabelke mám zabalené lokše pre teba aj pre Sofiu. Stačí uvariť víno.“
„Vravela som to!“ zajasá Olívia, keď naštartuje a zapne kúrenie, v aute je zima ako na Sibíri. „Si tá najlepšia kamoška na svete!“
Love on the Brain
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis - with explosive results.
Bee Koenigswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.
But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Koenigswasser do?
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 . . .

But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her.

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

The War on the West
In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?
It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of

The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
