Alex Skovron: The Man Who Took to his Bed
Muž, který ulehl do své postele
Author: Alex Skovron, Translation: Josef Tomáš, First edition: 2019, Pages: 176, Language: Czech, ISBN 978-80-88050-08-7
A man wakes up one morning to find an unknown woman in bed beside him. A failed writer devises an ingenious method of plagiarizing the work of others. Whole properties in a suburban neighbourhood begin vanishing overnight. An ancient grand piano is purchased by a mysterious young customer with an old secret. A spontaneous experiment in the paranormal produces an unexpected result …
This collection of fourteen short stories is Alex Skovron’s second book of fiction, after his novella The Poet (2005). It introduces an eclectic range of protagonists, predicaments, voices, and narrative styles – playful, earnest, speculative, ironic, intimate, bittersweet, surreal. Between them, the characters we meet span childhood and adolescence, adulthood and old age, and their stories highlight the untoward in the everyday, the transformative in the mundane, the twists and turning-points that can challenge us – and the games we play with others, and with ourselves.
‘Intricate, dreamy, deeply literate stories that unsettle the senses and stir the intellect.’
—Helen Garner
‘By turns beautifully detailed, puzzling and always intriguing, the hauntingly solitary tone of these exquisitely observed stories induces a rare meditative attentiveness in the reader. It is a powerfully affecting collection that left me eager to explore more of Skovron’s world.’
—Alex Miller

Jasmina Petlach: Betrayal - Guardians of Dreams
Author: Jasmina Petlach, First edition: 2020, Pages: 224, Language: Czech, ISBN 978-80-907886-1-9
She ran through the woods, feeling the twigs of bushes whip her in the face. She couldn't stop! She has to keep running! She was almost out of breath, but she didn't want to stop. Suddenly she realized he was only in his nightgown. Her hair fluttered wildly, and the pain reminded her sharply that it was very often caught on twigs. She could also feel wounds on her legs. But the feeling of running on and fast was stronger than the pain.
Izabela works as an assistant fashion designer and after going to a nightclub with her friend, she is drawn into the mysterious world of Dream Watchers. At first, she does not know what a dream is and what reality is. But he gradually discovers the mysterious world of the Rangers, who live among us and help fight the evil dreams that have dominated humanity since the days of the Greek gods.
The author perfectly combines the real human and extraterrestrial world, where the first chapters suggest that the book will be a relaxing novel, but the introduction itself will not leave you in any doubt that the plot will be much more varied. The ever-evolving story, the number of unexpected twists and the supernatural will engulf you so much that you can read the book in practically one breath.

With this book, the authors complete the edition of the City of the Pardubice Region (and Eastern Bohemia). This book will provide you informations about towns located in the northeastern part of the Pardubice region, specifically in the Eagle Mountains and their picturesque foothills. We start in Choceň, where the river Tichá Orlice leaves the narrow valley and spills into a wide floodplain in the Orlická board. We continue through the Orlice Nature Park to Brandýs nad Orlicí, where J. A. Komenský found temporary refuge, to Letohrad, Písečná and Žampach, where we will admire the Baroque residential towns and the romantic landscape of the Orlické Podhůří. Near Letohrad there is a gateway to the Eagle Mountains Žamberk and the town of Kunvald with monuments to fraternal unity. We will introduce you to Professor Albert, a prominent surgeon and an even better companion. We are already in Jablonné nad Orlicí in the Orlické Mountains. It is an important center of summer and winter recreation. After a tour of the city, we will climb Suchý vrch with Kramář's cottage. And we will end our journey in the town of Králíky under Králický Sněžník at the source of Tichá Orlice.
The described region is interwoven with a network of new cycle paths and is easily accessible by rail, either from Hradec Králové or Pardubice via Letohrad to Jablonné and further to Kladsko and Wrocław. This brief text is supplemented to illustrate the topic with fictional stories. It is not a guide where you will find various information, including those that will soon become obsolete. A significant part of the sites is in the central part of the cities within acceptable walking and time availability. But we also offer longer trips, which are more time consuming. In the attached map you will find marked locations, the names of the main streets and the possibility of parking.
For those who are more interested in the described topic, there are control questions at the end of each chapter "SECRETS". The authors' opinion on the questions can be found at the end of the book.

Jindra Hojer: Fragments from the Life of Jindra Hojer
Střípky ze života Jindry Hojera
Author: Jindra Hojer, First edition: 2019, Pages: 192, Language: Czech, ISBN 978-80-88050-06-3
Jindra Hojer, known from Foglar's Fast Arrows, wrote fragments of his life at the age of 95. Tales are funny, sad, personal and intimate. In 1936, Jindra Hojer was still a little boy, but his membership in Foglar's Boy Scout troop of Prague Two influenced his whole life. He became the model of the well-known character from the comic book Fast Arrows. At the age of 95, however, he decided to sit behind a typewriter, which is a memorial to his wife Tája, and write down fragments of his life. Jindra Hojer's previous book Mysterious Brain Teasers for Clever Brains was sold out almost before its release. The book has received tremendous response not only from fans of Fast Arrows and Scouting, but also to the general public, who received news of the new book through the media. Therefore, Jindra Hojer decided to give his fans one more work on his 95th birthday, this time purely about his life.
He gives his stories, both happy and sad, to his readers with a distinctive exaggeration, ease and wit that is so typical for Jindra Hojer. Stories from life and from Greece and Italy, both before and shortly after the Velvet Revolution, are accompanied by photographs that complement the reader's imagination. In addition to the stories from the author's life, the fictional character of Mr. Šmodrcha comes alive with whom you will experience extraordinary adventures of ordinary life. Funny (sometimes ticklish) stories full of ironic twists have been prepared by the author for several decades. We can only guess whether they are fictitious or whether he lets Jindra Hojer look into his real experiences. The author himself smiles wistfully on this subject and convinces that the stories are completely fictional because "what the readers and fans would otherwise think of him". His amusingly mysterious tone of voice and facial expression, however, suggests that… But so - let's speculate and meet with Mr. Šmodrcha and the real Jindra Hojer.

Jindra Hojer: Mysterious Puzzles for Smart Folks
Záhadné hlavolamy pro chytré hlavičky
Author: Jindra Hojer, First edition: 2019, Pages: 144, Language: Czech, ISBN 978-80-88050-05-6
The book, written by Jindra Hojer at the age of 94, known for his character from Foglar's comic book Fast Arrows, is full of logical and mathematical tasks and puzzles, over which children and adults will wonder.
The aim of the publication is to teach readers to think logically in an entertaining way and to show that even a not very successful graduation course can be matured. The work combines mathematics and logic with play. Each chapter contains a description and instructions on how to solve the puzzle, a practice example with a solution and a number of other examples to practice. An integral part is the Czech-mathematical dictionary. The book is accompanied by a cartoon character Jindra Hojer, who advises how to solve tasks effectively. The end of the book is dedicated to Jindřich Hojer himself, who will present important moments of his life - happy and sad - in several stages.
As the Hungarian-American mathematician George Pólya saids, solving mathematical and logical problems is a practical art that we learn as well as learn to swim, ski or walk. The objection that there is enough time to teach logical thinking at a later age does not hold up. We also learn to swim or walk at toddler age, so why not start with logical thinking in time.
