Amazing Slovakia
In the past decade, traveler and photographer Filip Kulisev, MQEP (Master Qualified European Photographer) and FBIPP (Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photography), has been recognized as one of the world’s best landscape photographers. Amazing Slovakia is his ninth book, in which for the first time he exclusively focuses on his native country and the number of remarkable places it has to offer. Slovakia is shown here in photographs taken from a bird’s eye view. This approach allowed him to capture on film the only wild herd of European bison in Slovakia, the Morské Oko Lake hidden in the lush forests of Vihorlat and the Domašín Meander of the Váh River, which bears a striking resemblance to its more famous counterpart on the Colorado River in America’s Grand Canyon. The little known Čabraď Castle in Central Slovakia is proof that no one necessarily has to travel to Peru to see something as remarkable as Machu Picchu. Such natural beauty is not confined to Slovakia’s most famous tourist destinations such as the High Tatras and Slovak Paradise; it can also be seen in many lesser known gems scattered throughout the countryside. For Filip, however, Slovakia has much more than just magnificent natural beauty. Its rich history has also had a tremendous impact upon the country over the last millennium. The castle ruins, magnificent chateaux, and the many abandoned monasteries and medieval churches are evidence that Slovakia has always been at the crossroads of history in Europe. The charms of the country are divided into geographical units: Western, Central and Eastern Slovakia.

Ultra. Proč je noc černá. Why The Night is Black
Kniha skutečných příběhů „posledních“ nejvýznamnějších kanibalských Papuánských náčelníků a autentický záznam komunikace při symbolickém „Posledním Prvním Kontaktu“.
Po tisíciletí byly takového příběhy předávány z generace na generaci pouze verbálně. Tato kniha /bohatě doplněných černobílými fotografiemi/ je první zaznamenaný materiál přepsaných autentických nahrávek rozhovorů s posledními přírodními lidmi doby kamenné předtím, než je navždy změní globalizace. Všichni mluví v první osobě a popisují své skutečné zážitky, neboť v džungli se nerozlišuje (západním úhlem pohledu) přirozené od nadpřirozeného. Všechno je reálné.
Až dosud bývaly „první kontakty“ věcí moci, násilí, zvětšování teritorií a území vlivu, /ale naše země nikdy nekolonizovala jiné/ a o dnes již zaniklých animistických kulturách se zachovala svědectví prospektorů, misionářů, vojáků a antropologů, aniž domorodci vyprávějí sami o sobě. První kontakt s posledními přírodními národy až dosud nikdy neučinili umělci, přestože jde o "Setkání kultur"....
Jedná se rozšířenou verzi knihy Proč je noc černá, jejíž první vydání roku 2005 získalo cenu Magnesia Litera za objev roku.
A book of true stories told by the ‘last’ prominent cannibal Papuan tribal chiefs and the authentic record of communication during the symbolic ‘Final First Contact’.
For thousands of years, stories like these have been part of the tribes’ oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. This book /richly supplemented with black and white photographs/ is the first ever transcription of authentic recorded interviews, conducted with the final indigenous tribespeople before their primeval culture is forever changed by globalisation. The first-person accounts describe the tribesmen’s true stories, at least from their point of view: for them, there is no distinction between the natural and the supernatural – everything is equally real.
Until now, ‘first contacts’ have been a matter of power, violence, the expansion of territories and spheres of influence /but our country has never colonized others/ and there are testimonies of prospectors, missionaries, soldiers, and anthropologists about the now extinct animist cultures, without the natives telling their own stories. The first contact with the last natural nations had never previously been made by artists, despite the fact that it was a Meeting of Cultures…
This is an expanded version of the book Why the Night is Black, the first edition of which won the 2005 Magnesia Litera Award for Discovery of the Year.

What is huncút?
Slovenskí emigranti, ktorí sa postarali o najdlhší súdny proces štátu New York od roku 1683. Policajný riaditeľ Matovič z Humenného, ktorý bojoval s talianskou mafiou spolu s dolapiteľom Al Caponeho. Slovenskí farmári z Arkansasu, ktorých dávali v kongrese za vzor pri potláčaní segregácie na juhu. Ale aj Novozámčanka, ktorá bola očitou svedkyňou najslávnejšej prestrelky divokého západu.
Všetky tieto príbehy autor objavil pri mapovaní stôp po slovenských mestečkách v Spojených štátoch amerických. V jeho reportážach sa prenesiete na malebné floridské predmestie Slavia, k družnej arkansaskej farmárskej komunite Slovak, do moderného developerského mesta na pobreží astronautov, k megalomanskému projektu na newyorskom Long Islande, ale aj k osudu jedného z prvých slovenských Amerikánov, ktorý sníval o vlastnej osade v Iowe.
Na začiatku 20. storočia žil v USA približne každý štvrtý Slovák, väčšina v priemyselných oblastiach severovýchodu, no časť sa rozhodla usadiť vo vlastných „kolóniách“. Kniha What is huncút? cez historické reportáže mapuje príbehy týchto pozoruhodných osád, zároveň odkrýva pozadie najväčšej prisťahovaleckej vlny z dnešného územia Slovenska do USA.
Kniha chce byť aj inšpiráciou pre všetkých, ktorí so svojimi rodinami v Amerike dávno stratili kontakt, aby sa o túto fascinujúcu históriu začali opäť zaujímať. Preto popri príbehoch slovenských kolónií tiež chronologicky mapuje najväčšiu prisťahovaleckú vlnu Slovákov do USA od jej počiatkov na divokom západe cez najsilnejšie roky v nebezpečných baniach a oceliarňach až po rozpad slovenských komunít, a tiež vzťahov s príbuznými v starom kraji po druhej svetovej vojne.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Hříchy minulosti
Některé hříchy mají velmi dlouhý život... a některé spí tiše pod hladinou a vynoří se až po letech. Spider-Man se s jedním starým hříchem právě setkává. Hříchem, který ho může zabít - a je celkem jedno, že to není jeho hřích.
V komiksu Hříchy minulosti se propojuje Spider-Man, kterého znáte z Comicsových legend, s tím současným - a ukazuje se, že vám staré komiksy zatajily pár důležitých detailů. Je to příběh, kterým JMS zatřásl posvátnými komiksovými ikonami.

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents
Even wizards produce leftovers.
But a wizard's rubbish is laced with magic, and for the rats that forage this rubbish, the magic has changed them - they can speak and read, and have rather grand ambitions for a comfortable retirement.
Which is perfect for a con-cat like Maurice. He has his own magical talents, and wants to get rich quick. Together with the rats, and young (rather simple) Keith, the 'piper', they work the towns to create their very own plague of rats - then lure them away for cash.
But in the run-down town Bad Blintz, this little con goes wrong, and suddenly these educated rodents aren't playing to the piper's tune . . .
The Climate Book
Greta Thunberg's speeches shook the world. With The Climate Book, she has created an essential tool for everyone who wants to help save it. It seems like an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, acting at a scale and speed that the world has never seen, in the face of vast and powerful forces--not just oil tycoons and governments, but the changing climate system itself.
The odds are against us, and we are running out of time. But it doesn't have to be this way. Around the world, geophysicists and mathematicians, oceanographers and meteorologists, engineers, economists, psychologists and philosophers have been using their expertise to develop a deep understanding of the crises we face.
Greta Thunberg has created The Climate Book in partnership with over one hundred of these experts in order to equip us all with this knowledge. Alongside them, Greta shares her own stories of learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing the extent to which we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest problems, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope.
Once we are given the full picture, we will be able to act--and if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?The Climate Book shows that we all have the responsibility of being alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity, and that, together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.

Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been--we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked--the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't--and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom--and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
Amazing Planet: Phase 6 DVD
Fotograf a cestovateľ Filip Kulisev predstavuje svoj nový disk Phase 6 s novinkou, ktorou sú krátke filmy z dronov a helikoptér podfarbenými podmanivou hudbou plnou emócií z najlepších hollywoodskych filmov. Disk sa delí na dve časti, venované horúcej a studenej klíme. V prvej z nich sú videá ukazujúce krásy a rozmanitosť odľahlých ostrovčekov v tichomorskej Polynézií, Melanézií a Mikronézií, podmanivú atmosféru na plážach Seychelov, či pekelné potoky lávy na Havajských ostrovov. Aj v krajinách plných ľadu a snehu sa bude na čo pozerať. Úchvatné sú rôznofarebné domčeky roztrúsené po grónskych skalách, stratené ľadovce v okolí kanadského Newfoundlandu alebo najsilnejší atómový ľadoborec na svete, ktorý pomaly, ale isto smeruje k Severnému pólu. Bonusom Phase 6 je sedemminútový krátky film Oceans, ktorý mal premiéru na Svetovom dni vody v OSN v New Yorku.
