Destruction.The Great Change is upon us . . .Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down.

<p>How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong contends with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit. Vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong's poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicentre of the break. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize, and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. These poems represent a more innovative and daring experimentation with language and form, illuminating how the themes we live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time Is a Mother is a return and a forging-forth all at once.</p>

<p>Lili má tajemství – umí mluvit se zvířaty. Všechna ji nesmírně milují. Zato s dětmi je to horší. Lili se jich radši straní. Bojí se, že ji spolužáci budou považovat za blázna, a tak své tajemství velice dobře střeží. Ale pak se seznámí s tím nejbáječnějším a nejvtipnějším klukem z celé školy, po němž šílí úplně všechny holky, a ukáže se, že i on něco tají! Lukáš je totiž nadprůměrně inteligentní, ale předstírá, že je úplně obyčejný, průměrný žák, aby ho ostatní nepovažovali za šprta. Stanou se z nich opravdoví přátelé. Když se při návštěvě zoologické zahrady dozvědí, že slonici Martu, která bůhvíproč propadá záchvatům zuřivosti, chtějí navždy uspat, Lukáš Lili vysvětlí, že slonici může pomoct jen a jen ona.</p>

<p>Modlitba Otče náš se stala nejdůležitější modlitbou křesťanů na celém světě. Daroval nám ji přece sám Ježíš. Mnozí lidé se jí modlívají ráno i večer. Setkání křesťanů provází často právě tato modlitba. Mnoho rodin se ji modlívá společně. Je to velmi krásná modlitba, někdy jí ale málo rozumíme. Knížka nabízí ke každé větě modlitby Otče náš krátký příběh a k němu malé zamyšlení. Překrásné barevné ilustrace jsou dílem slovenského kreslíře Juraje Martišky. Titul je vhodný pro děti předškolního a mladšího školního věku. „Když říkáme, že Bůh je náš Otec, potvrzujeme tím, že patříme Bohu a že jsme jeho rodina, že všichni lidé jsou naši bratři a sestry. A protože všechny děti se trochu podobají otci, když chceme, můžeme vidět něco z Boha ve tváři všech lidí, které potkáváme“. Ve stejném zpracování vyšla pro děti v KNA i knížka o modlitbě Zdrávas, Maria.</p>

<p>Otevřít diskusi o roli a místě ženy v katolické církvi, zvlášť vedenou touhou po kněžství, vyžadovalo v 80. letech 20. století velikou osobní odvahu. Budoucí docentka teologie a výrazná postava české církve Mireia Ryšková nalezla partnera k dialogu ve faráři, teologovi a bývalém politickém vězni Josefu Zvěřinovi, který byl pro svého otevřeného ducha již tehdy v neoficiálních církevních strukturách uznávanou autoritou. Korespondenci těchto dvou osobností v knize rámují další texty, včetně dobových dokumentů, které přibližují postavení žen v tehdejším Československu i soudobou církevní praxi a od konfesijních textů velmi osobní povahy vykračují směrem k teologickým, duchovním i společenským aspektům otázky po možném svěcení žen.</p>

<p>From the author of 'Crash' and 'Cocaine Nights' comes an unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on 'enemy' floors and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for riots and technological mayhem. In this visionary tale of urban disillusionment society slips into a violent reverse as the isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, create a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle. This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Iain Sinclair, Ali Smith, Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs.</p>

Jeri Crosby's father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible.

He is a judge, in Florida - under Lacy's jurisdiction. He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him, without becoming the next name on his list? The Judge's List is by any measure John Grisham's most surprising, chilling novel yet.</p>

<p>Válka s Mloky se dlouho rozvíjí jako koláž novinových výstřižků a jiných skvěle parodovaných záznamů o podivuhodných Mlocích, kteří se naučí mluvit, pracovat, chovat se jako lidé, chybí jim jen schopnost tvořivě myslet. Za zdánlivě pouze zábavnou a vtipnou satirou na novinové senzace se postupně odkrývá to, co Čapek považoval za největší nebezpečí pro lidskou civilizaci. Totiž snahu vydělat na všem, co slibuje zisk, i kdyby to vzápětí mělo přinést zkázu. Také potřebu většiny lidí usnadnit si život, pokud možno nepracovat a jen si užívat, jen se bavit a nedomýšlet nic z toho, co se jeví jako hrozba vší kultuře a nakonec i existenci lidstva samého.</p><p>Světovou slávu KARLA ČAPKA (1890–1938) založilo jeho utopické drama R.U.R., které během několika let oběhlo světové scény. Čapek se pak k utopickým námětům několikrát vrátil: v románu Továrna na Absolutno, svým způsobem i ve svých dalších dramatech, naposledy a nejpůsobivěji v románu Válka s Mloky. Čapkovy vize budoucnosti jsou spíše pesimistické, jeho analýzy příčin katastrof jsou však tak hluboké a přesné, že za desetiletí, která uplynula od jejich vzniku, neztratila nic ze své působivosti a aktuálnosti.</p>

And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to prove before he gives up the game forever.

In this riveting and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a comeback.</p>
