The Unsettling of Europe
WINNER OF THE LAURA SHANNON PRIZE 2021 AND ITALY'S CHERASCO HISTORY PRIZE 2021
SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE 2020
A TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019
Migrants have stood at the heart of modern Europe's experience, whether trying to escape danger, to find a better life or as a result of deliberate policy, whether moving from the countryside to the city, or between countries, or from outside the continent altogether.
Peter Gatrell's powerful new book is the first to bring these stories together into one place. He creates a compelling narrative bracketed by two nightmarish periods: the great convulsions following the fall of the Third Reich and the mass attempts in the 2010s by migrants to cross the Mediterranean into Europe.
The Unsettling of Europe is a new history of the continent, charting the ever-changing arguments about the desirability or otherwise of migrants and their central role in Europe's post-1945 prosperity. Gatrell is as fascinating on the giant movements of millions (such as the epic waves of German migration) to that of much smaller groups, such as the Karelians, Armenians, Moluccans or Ugandan Asians. Above all he has written a book that makes the reader deeply aware of the many extraordinary journeys taken by countless individuals in pursuit of work, safety and dignity, all the time.
This is a landmark book on a subject that, decade by decade, will always haunt Europe.
'Peter Gatrell has produced a tour de force ... This important and timely work on one of the most challenging issues in modern Europe deserves to be widely read' Ian Kershaw

Hore Dole po Európe
Monika a Zlatko sú manželský pár už viac ako 20 rokov. Vždy robia všetko spolu. Naozaj všetko. Ešte aj v rovnaký čas, nezávisle od seba, tažko ochoreli. Či to bolo štastie, alebo nejakým zázrakom, obom sa im podarilo doslova utiecť zubatej z lopaty. Uvedomili si, že to bolo nejaké zdvihnutie prsta, aby niečo v živote zmenili. Aspoň na nejaký čas!
„Kedy, ak nie teraz, lebo potom môže byť už neskoro," povedali si spoločne. Rozhodli sa zobrať si rok volna, sadli do ich Jeepu a precestovali „hore dole po Európe".
Precestujte s nimi spoločne touto knihou, zistite, ako skončili jeden večer až do rána, zabávajúc sa v luxusnej vile u neznámych ludí v Grécku, ako prespali v Španielsku v mešite, ako klučkovali medzi sobmi cestujúc na Nordkapp, kempovali na opustených miestach, ako sa báli, že našli mŕtvolu v Albánsku alebo ako si vysedávali úplne sami na Islande v horúcom prameni neďaleko horúcej sopky. A ešte omnoho viac...
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.
Tieňohra. Príbeh o poslednej vojne v Európe
Kniha Tieňohra rozpráva, ako ľahko sa po päťdesiatich rokoch mieru vrátila do Európy krvavá vojna. Rozpad Juhoslávie si vyžiadal približne 140-tisíc obetí a jeho záverečná časť sa odohrala v Kosove.
Tim Marshall bol ako vojnový korešpondent priamym svedkom niekoľkých vojensko-politických konfliktov z druhej polovice dvadsiateho storočia. Ako diplomatický redaktor televíznej stanice Sky News pokrýval spravodajsky aj vojnu v Kosove, bombardovanie Juhoslávie a pád režimu Slobodana Miloševića. Kniha prináša strhujúco vyrozprávaný príbeh, vychádzajúci z autorových osobných skúseností, z jeho priamej prítomnosti na miestach bojov i v priľahlom zázemí, ako aj z rozhovorov s príslušníkmi tajných služieb piatich krajín. Aj po dvadsiatich rokoch od ukončenia vojny v Kosove má zmysel vracať sa k tejto európskej tragédii, najmä ak vieme, že dodnes nie sú všetky rany v regióne zacelené.

The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. 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. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.

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.
Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.
Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy - Art Cartography in the Centre of Europe 1960-2011
Medzinárodný výstavný projekt MAPY / MAPS (Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy 1960-2011) prezentuje známe, menej známe aj doteraz nevystavené diela autorov tvoriacich v 60. a 70. rokoch 20. storočia v oblasti konceptuálneho umenia a land-artu, v 80. rokoch aj v maľbe a fotografii, reflektuje neo-konceptuálne tendencie objektu a inštalácie v 90. rokoch 20. storočia. Výberovo predstavuje aj mladú generáciu autorov, ktorí mapu a princíp mapovania, sietí, ciest, myslenia a výskumu pomocou mapy často využívajú ako metaforu samotnej tvorby diela. Mapy sa stali v umení uplynulých päťdesiatych rokov dôležitým nositeľom kultúrnych významov ako médium utopických vízií, mentálnych archeológií, futurologických projektov či projekcií teritoriálnych alebo politických frustrácií.
V umeleckohistorickej sonde výstava sleduje na "mape" diel viac ako päťdesiatich autorov vzťah umelcov ku každodennej realite, počnúc prelínaním umenia a života v neoavantgardných tendenciách 60. rokov až po priamočiaru manifestáciu života v umení umožnenú novými médiami. Mapuje kartografické interpretácie na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne v konfrontácii s vybranými dielami autorov z ostatných krajín V4: Česka, Poľska a Maďarska.
Výstava je zostavená chronologicky, a zároveň tematicky. Na predstavených dielach možno sledovať uvažovanie umelcov o hraniciach, obmedzeniach, spôsoboch ich virtuálneho slobodného prekračovania či redefinovania, zmenách mierky či pozícií štátov a kontinentov. Autori a autorky v mapách zaznamenávajú svoje zážitky z fyzickej prítomnosti v krajine a orientácie v mestskom či prírodnom teréne. Umelecké mapy sú však aj nástrojom subjektívnych mentálnych kartografií. Metaforická podstata mapy poskytuje nekonečné možnosti vyjadrovania v tvorivých systémoch individuálnych mytológií, hľadanie stratených rajov, objavovanie bájnych a zakladanie nových krajín, či snívanie o vesmíre. Každý z autorov vyznačuje svojím zápisom predovšetkým vlastné súradnice na mape.
Katalóg je koncipovaný ako atlas umeleckých máp s odkazmi, témami a návodmi na ich kritické čítanie.
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.

Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, co-authored by her son Harry Whittaker, draws Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion.
1928, Paris
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and no-one's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean
The seven sisters are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.
The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
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.

Ladislav Mednyánszky, K 100. výročiu úmrtia umelca/ The 100th anniversary of artist’s death
Ladislav MEDNYÁNSZKY (1852 Beckov – 1919 Viedeň) bol jedným z najvýznamnejších maliarov prelomu 19. a 20. storočia a rozhodne najznámejším umelcom Barbizonu u nás. Vo svojej dobe bol uznávaný predovšetkým ako krajinár. Barbizonské chápanie krajiny bolo v súlade s jeho vnútorným svetom a tento typ krajinomaľby v duchu lyrického realizmu, ktorý uprednostňoval zážitok umelca, jeho individuálne pocity a nálady, čoskoro priviedol na majstrovskú úroveň. Prehlboval sa jeho záujem o filozofiu, budhizmus a teozofiu, ktoré zamýšľal istým spôsobom zapracovať do svojich diel.
