Co když máte na terapeutický rozhovor právě jen tu jednu hodinu? Nic víc, nic delšího, žádné pokračování? Může se během jedné hodiny člověk skutečně otevřít? A co terapeut, pojme během omezeného času to, co mu chce klient sdělit, a dospějí spolu k nějakému závěru? Kniha slavného psychologa a spisovatele nabízí příběhy, které se odehrály během jediného hodinového sezení, jež navíc proběhlo online. Mezi jeho klienty se objevují lidé z celého světa a během intenzivních hodin, kdy občas obě strany zápasí s připojením nebo nastavením mikrofonu, se odehrávají intimní a velmi osobní setkání. Irvin Yalom už totiž ve svém věku nemá co ztratit, a tak se jako jeho románový terapeut Ernest ze Lží na pohovce rozhodl pro upřímnou terapii. Nebude se před klienty schovávat, řekne jim o sobě i věci, které by jinak možná tajil. To jim pomůže otevřít během jedné jediné hodiny celé jejich srdce.

Druhá část třetího svazku lovecraftovský spisů Volání Cthulhu přináši vedle všemi již jistě napjatě očekávaného dokončení novely Případ Charlese Dextera Warda další povídky a příběhy z let 1927–1930. V dubnu 1926 se Lovecraft vrací z nemilovaného New Yorku zpět do rodné Providence a s novou tvůrčí energií píše jedny ze svých nejpůsobivější a čtenářsky nejpřitažlivější příběhů: Barva z kosmu je výjimečným propojením horou a science fiction, jejíž objevnost oceňoval i Stanisław Lem, Tamtéž představuje velmi vtipnou mystifikační hříčku, zatímco Hrůza v Dunwichi či Šepot v temnotách obohacují žánr strašidelných povídek o „mytický“ rozměr, který později jeho vydavatelé proslaví pod jménem mýtus Cthulhu. Svazek doplňuje i překlad studie Produktivní hnus od J. M. Fischera.

Aletta, má dcera je strhující román odehrávající se během druhé světové války. Je to příběh ženy, která nabídne útočiště židovskému sirotkovi určenému k deportaci, a její sestry, rozpolcené mezi loajalitou k rodině a vlastním bezpečím. Amsterdam, 1941. Zpěvačka Johanna s hrůzou sleduje, jak je jejím židovským přátelům nejprve zakázáno vystupovat a později jim jde i o život. Společně s manželem pomáhá organizovat „umělecký odboj“, podzemní síť umožňující Židům vystupovat na domácích koncertech pořádaných jejich spojenci. Manžel Johanniny sestry Liesbeth je ovšem přesvědčeným nacistickým stoupencem. Liesbeth navíc okouzlí člen nizozemské fašistické strany, čímž se nesnáze jen prohloubí. Jak mezi sestrami stále přibývají tajemství, narušují jejich kdysi nerozbitné pouto a obě jsou nuceny učinit rozhodnutí, která navždy změní jejich životy.

Opýtali ste sa niekedy samých seba: „Prečo som to urobil?“ Alebo: „Prečo jednoducho nedokážem ovládnuť svoje správanie?“ Možno ste sa zamysleli nad niekým iným: „Čo to je s ním? Prečo je taký?“Pri skúmaní vlastných emócií je ľahké skĺznuť do obviňovania samého seba a mať na seba aj na svoje okolie príliš vysoké požiadavky. Je však načase, aby sme si položili inú otázku. V hlboko osobných rozhovoroch ponúkajú Oprah Winfrey a psychiater a uznávaný odborník na psychologické traumy z detstva Dr. Bruce Perry prelomovú a dôležitú zmenu pohľadu – posun od otázky „Čo vám je?“ na „Čo sa vám stalo?“.Známa moderátorka sa v knihe podelí o príbehy zo svojej minulosti, pričom na vlastnej skúsenosti ilustruje zdravotné i psychické problémy, ktoré pramenia zo stretnutia s traumou a nepriaznivými podmienkami v mladom veku. V rozhovoroch sa s doktorom Perrym zameriavajú na pochopenie ľudí, ich správania a samých seba. Ide tu o jemný, ale významný posun v našom vnímaní traumy, ktorý nám pomôže porozumieť vlastnej minulosti a vyčistiť si cestu do budúcnosti, pretože nám umožní otvoriť dvere pre uzdravenie a postupné vybudovanie si duševnej odolnosti.

Třetí svazek souborného beletristického díla H. P. Lovecrafta obsahuje povídky a romány z let 1926-1930, tedy z autorova nejproduktivnějšího tvůrčího období. Vzhledem k jeho obsáhlosti je svazek rozdělen do dvou částí. Nejrozsáhlejší beletristický text, Případ Charlese Dextera Warda, je přibližně v polovině přerušen, aby si i dnešní Lovecraftův obdivovatel mohl vychutnat rozpoložení čtenáře magazínu Weird Tales v roce 1941, který tehdy našel román rovněž rozdělený do dvou čísel a musel si celé dva měsíce počkat na jeho pokračování.Zároveň se čtenář mimo jiné seznámí s povídkou Volání Cthulhu, která stojí na počátku neutuchajícího zájmu o lovecraftovskou mytologii, jež ovlivňuje novou generaci autorů, pokračující v rozvíjení Lovecraftových bizarních motivů.

From the million-copy bestselling author comes the true story of a deeply troubled young girl who is haunted by her past.

"A co-written project by Irvin and Marilyn Yalom, which describes their heartbreaking journey as a couple married 65 years facing the end of their long partnership. A longtime teacher and therapist on the subject of death anxiety, Dr. Yalom now confronts the loss of his wife and his own mortality. This book will offer wisdom from one of the foremost existential psychiatrists and illuminate the importance of relationships-friendship, family, and romantic-as we all age"--

"Were all just somebody else's kids . . . "A small seven-year-old boy who couldn't speak except to repeat weather forecasts and other people's words . . . A beautiful little girl of seven who had been brain damaged by terrible parental beatings and was so ashamed because she couldn't learn to read . . . A violently angry ten-year-old who had seen his stepmother murder his father and had been sent from one foster home to another . . . A shy twelve-year-old from a Catholic school which put her out when she became pregnant . . ."What do we matter?""Why do you care?"They were four problem children-put in Torey Hayden's class because no one else knew what to do with them. Together, with the help of a remarkable teacher who cared too much to ever give up, they became almost a family, able to give each other the love and understanding they had found nowhere else.

This is a new collection of four novellas — Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, The Life of Chuck, Rat, and the title story If It Bleeds — each pulling you into intriguing and frightening places.

From Torey Hayden, the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of One Child comes Lost Girl, a poignant and deeply moving account of a lost little girl and an extraordinary educational psychologist's courage and determination. Jessie is nine years old and looks like the perfect little girl, with red hair, green eyes and a beguiling smile. She even has a talent for drawing gorgeous and intricate pictures. But Jessie also knows how to get her own way and will lie, scream, shout and hurt to get just exactly what she wants. Her parents say they can't take her back, and her social workers struggle to deal with her destructive behaviour and wild mood swings. After her chaotic passage through numerous foster placements, Jessie has finally received a diagnosis of an attachment disorder. Attachment disorders arise when children are deprived of the all-important close bonds with trustworthy adults that allow them to develop emotionally and thrive. Finally educational psychologist Torey Hayden is called in to help. Torey agrees to weekly meetings with Jessie to try and uncover why she is acting out. Torey's gentle care and attention reveal shocking truths behind Jessie's lies. Can Torey and the other social workers help to provide the consistent loving care that has so far been missing in Jessie's life, or will she push them away too?

Castle Rock is a small town, where word gets around quickly. That's why Scott Carey wants to confide only in his friend Doctor Bob Ellis about his strange condition: he's losing weight, without getting thinner, and the scales register the same when he is in his clothes or out of them, however heavy they are. Scott also has new neighbours, who have opened a 'fine dining experience' in town, although it's an experience being shunned by the locals; Deidre McComb and her wife Missy Donaldson don't exactly fit in with the community's expectations. And now Scott seems trapped in a feud with the couple over their dogs dropping their business on his lawn. Missy may be friendly, but Deidre is cold as ice. As the town prepares for its annual Thanksgiving 12k run, Scott starts to understand the prejudices his neighbours face and he tries to help. Unlikely alliances form and the mystery of Scott's affliction brings out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others. From master storyteller Stephen King, our 'most precious renewable resource, like Shakespeare in the malleability of his work' (Guardian), comes this timely, upbeat tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences. Compelling and eerie, Elevation is as gloriously joyful (with a twinge of deep sadness) as 'It's a Wonderful Life.'

Co dělat, když nám starosti přerůstají přes hlavu a máme dojem, že nejsme pány svého života? Stojí za to zkusit jednoduchá cvičení, která představují různé cesty, jak snížit stres a úzkost či bojovat s depresí. Lze je využít i v případě, kdy se snažíme o snížení váhy nebo bychom rádi skončili s kouřením. Kniha nabízí jednoduchá, ale nikoli banální cvičení založená na konceptu mindfulness. Drobné kroky, které neustále opakujeme a k nimž přidáváme další, nás postupně provedou změnami, jež povedou ke zlepšení našeho života. Trápí nás „mravenci v hlavě“ neboli nutkavé myšlenky? Neumíme se zklidnit a stále se nám honí hlavou, co musíme zařídit a jaké úkoly na nás čekají? Pak je dobré do svého života pustit všímavost. Knihu uvítají lidé, kteří trpí vnitřním neklidem, a samozřejmě též zájemci o mindfulness. Gary Hennessey se mindfulness věnuje více než 40 let a vyučuje je 35 let.

Is it possible to fully know anyone? Even those we love the most? What tips someone over the edge to commit a crime? For a Nebraska farmer, the turning point comes when his wife threatens to sell off the family homestead. A cozy mystery writer plots a savage revenge after a brutal encounter with a stranger. Dave Streeter gets the chance to cure himself from illness - if he agrees to impose misery on an old rival. And Darcy Anderson discovers a box containing her husband's dark and terrifying secrets - he's not the man who keeps his nails short and collects coins. And now he's heading home . . . Like DIFFERENT SEASONS and FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, FULL DARK, NO STARS proves Stephen King a master of the long story form.

Od uliček středověkého města Averoigne hemžících se upíry až po zářivé kupole posledního obydleného světadílu Zothique nás Clarke Ashton Smith, tento čaroděj světové fantastiky, provádí po zapomenutých říších nekromancie a nočních můr, ztracených světů a dalších dimenzí. V kouzelných krajích Hyperborey, Atlantidy a Xiccarphu se v záři blednoucích paprsků zapadajícího slunce setkáváme s ničivou magií, démonickými činy a zástupy nemrtvých… Dvousvazkové Vybrané spisy Clarka Ashtona Smithe (1893–1961) přinášejí vůbec první knižní překlady povídek tohoto spisovatele u nás. Smith, který spolu s H. P. Lovecraftem a Robertem E. Howardem patřil k tzv. „velké trojce“ autorů kultovní časopisu Weird Tales, sice prakticky přestal psát v roce 1937, ale zanechal po sobě jedinečné dílo, které se čirou silou své imaginace řadí po bok velikánů světové literatury – a to nejen v žánru sci-fi a fantasy.

Stephen King introduces each of these short stories with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it. There are connections between stories -- themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. "I made them especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth."

And the fate of dozens of people, including Kelly himself, rests on his making sure that misstep never happens. Men aren't born dangerous. They grow dangerous.

Ve dvou časových rovinách v ní sledujeme vyprávění starce Menenheteta, který prožil čtyři životy a důvěrně poznal zejména jednoho z nejvýznamnějších egyptských faraonů Ramesse II.

Kniha je tak nejen prostým vyprávěním o osudech jednoho hrdiny, ale stává se barvitým, pečlivě vykresleným obrazem každodenního života a myšlení starých Egypťanů.

To Your Scattered Bodies Go is the Hugo Award-winning beginning to the story of Riverworld, Philip José Farmer's unequaled tale about life after death. When famous adventurer Sir Richard Francis Burton dies, the last thing he expects to do is awaken naked on a foreign planet along the shores of a seemingly endless river. But that's where Burton and billions of other humans (plus a few nonhumans) find themselves as the epic Riverworld saga begins. It seems that all of Earthly humanity has been resurrected on the planet, each with an indestructible container that provides three meals a day, cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, a lighter, and the odd tube of lipstick. But why? And by whom? That's what Burton and a handful of fellow adventurers are determined to discover as they construct a boat and set out in search of the river's source, thought to be millions of miles away. Although there are many hardships during the journey--including an encounter with the infamous Hermann Goring--Burton's resolve to complete his quest is strengthened by a visit from the Mysterious Stranger, a being who claims to be a renegade within the very group that created the Riverworld. The stranger tells Burton that he must make it to the river's headwaters, along with a dozen others the Stranger has selected, to help stop an evil experiment at the end of which humanity will simply be allowed to die. --Craig E.

The Riverworld, a vast, seemingly artificial planet crisscrossed by a river valley millions of kilometers long, serves as a site of rebirth for humanity. Every human being who has walked the Earth in the last two million years finds themselves naked on the riverbank after death. However, the Riverworld is not a paradise but a hell. Power struggles and brutality abound. Those enslaved and tormented who attempt to end their miserable existence through suicide awaken the next day reborn at another point along the river. There is no escape. Yet, the Riverworld holds its own allure and unforeseen possibilities for those willing to accept the challenge of venturing to the river's sources and uncovering the secrets of the alien race capable of such grand designs. Mark Twain and John Lackland, the giant Neanderthal Joe Miller, the French adventurer Cyrano de Bergerac, and the fighter pilot Baron von Richthofen join forces to realize Mark Twain's dream: to build a great riverboat and travel upstream. A colossal task with the primitive means available, and a nearly insurmountable social and political challenge.
