John Green Knihy

Nápadité a vtipné eseje o človeku vo sveteZbierka krátkych esejí Johna Greena ponúka autorov jedinečný pohľad na súčasnosť a ľudské aktivity, ktoré formujú a menia svet okolo nás. Pomocou päťhviezdičkovej stupnice hodnotí predmety, ale aj udalosti, ktoré nás ako ľudstvo obklopujú a s ktorými prichádzame do kontaktu. Eseje založené zväčša na autorových osobných skúsenostiach a spomienkach sú prepojené s konkrétnymi vedeckými informáciami a faktami. Rozmanité témy sú adaptáciou a rozšírením Greenovho prelomového a kritikmi uznávaného podcastu The Antrophocene Reviewed. V ňom sa zamýšľa napríklad nad schopnosťou ľudí cítiť údiv nad dokonalosťou prírody – koľko generácií už malo možnosť vidieť Halleyho kométu alebo to, ako vône dokážu vyvolať zabudnuté spomienky –, prečo sa (ne)báť zlatého stafylokoka alebo to, aký vplyv na svet majú klimatizácie, QWERTY klávesnica či plyšové medvedíky.

Odkedy Hazel v trinástich rokoch diagnostikovali rakovinu štítnej žľazy v štvrtom štádiu, pripravovala sa na vlastnú smrť. Potom sa stal medicínsky zázrak a metastázy v pľúcach sa jej zmenšili. Odvtedy nechodí do školy, nemá priateľov a nevie, ako vyzerá normálny život. Je hadičkami pripútaná ku kyslíkovej fľaši a užíva silné lieky, aby sa nádory nerozširovali. Na nenávidenom stretnutí podpornej skupiny pre pacientov s rakovinou však spozná Augusta Watersa. Mladík má štýl, chorobu na ústupe a oči len pre ňu. S ním začne objavovať dosiaľ nepoznaný svet lásky na pomedzí života a smrti.

Šestnásťročná Aza Holmesová nikdy nemala v úmysle riešiť záhadný prípad zmiznutia miliardára Russella Picketta. Lenže keď sa jej najlepšia kamoška Daisy Ramirezová dozvie, že v hre je odmena stotisíc dolárov, s nadšením sa vrhne do vyšetrovania. Aza sa jej rozhodne pomôcť, keďže z detstva pozná Pickettovho syna Davisa. Zoznámili sa kedysi v tábore pre deti, ktorým zomrel jeden z rodičov. Dievčatá stoja pred zásadnou otázkou: Stal sa miliardár obeťou únosu, alebo utiekol pred políciou, ktorá ho chcela obviniť z úplatkárstva? Aza sa snaží byť dobrou dcérou, dobrou kamarátkou, dobrou študentkou a možno aj dobrou detektívkou, no pritom musí bojovať s vlastnou úzkosťou a ustavične padá do špirály obsesívno-kompulzívnych myšlienok. Spisovateľ John Green, autor bestsellera Na vine sú hviezdy, ktorý sám trpí obsesívno-kompulzívnou poruchou, s drsnou úprimnosťou rozpráva svoj doteraz najosobnejší príbeh o láske, vytrvalosti a sile ozajstného priateľstva.

Na Štedrý večer sa na mestečko Gracetown zosype bohatá snehová nádielka. Zasnežená vianočná krajina je síce hotová idylka, ale všetko s mierou. Pre nezjazdné cesty a metrové záveje kolabuje doprava a kalamita je na svete. Trom mladým ľuďom a ich priateľom v okamihu prekazí sviatočné plány a zdá sa, že ich čaká najhoršia noc v živote. Veď kto by chcel namiesto rozbaľovania darčekov uviaznuť vo vlaku bez elektriny, riskovať život kvôli štrnástim upišťaným roztlieskavačkám či zháňať miniprasiatko v skolabovanom meste? Iba ak by sa katastrofa zmenila na skutočné čaro Vianoc... Dojímavé, zábavné, čarovné – tri skvelé príbehy od trojice najpredávanejších autorov pre mládež!

Debutový román Kam zmizla Aljaška, za ktorý autor získal cenu Printze Award. Miles má bizarnú záľubu v posledných slovách svetových osobností. Najviac ho fascinuje Francois Rabelais a jeho posledná veta: „Idem hľadať to Veľké Azda." Miles si nechce počkať na podobný osud a presvedčí rodičov, nech ho pošlú do internátnej školy mimo mesta. V Alabame si rýchlo nájde nových priateľov: spolubývajúceho Chipa, ktorého všetci volajú Plukovník a ktorý vo voľných chvíľach memoruje nekonečné abecedné zoznamy, i krásnu, ale nepredvídateľnú Aljašku, do ktorej sa zamiluje. Čaká ich rok plný porušovania školského poriadku, testov a skúšok, žartíkov, rozchodov a odhalených tajomstiev. Čo zmení Milesov názor na jeho „Veľké Azda"?

Margo Rothová-Spiegelmanová. Jej bláznivé dobrodružstvá sa zakaždým prehnali školou ako letná búrka: na gitare ju naučil hrať nejaký starký v polorozpadnutom dome v mississippskom Hot Coffee. Tri dni kočovala s cirkusantmi, lebo ich presvedčila, že by z nej mohla byť artistka. Na koncert The Mallionaires v St. Louis sa dostala tak, že sa vydávala za basgitaristovu frajerku, a keď ten s ňou naozaj chcel chodiť, poslala ho kadeľahšie. Jej najneuveriteľnejšie príhody sa vždy ukázali ako skutočné! Tak do tejto dobrodružnej duše sa beznádejne zamiloval Quentin-Kvéčko Jacobsen, trochu zakríknutý chlapec z dobrej rodiny. Keď mu pojašená maturantka jednej noci vlezie do izby prezlečená za nindžu a odhodlaná vykonať jedenásť bodov neľútostnej pomsty nevernému frajerovi a bývalým kamarátom, Kvéčko neodmietne. To, čo povystrájajú, Quentina rovnako nadchne ako vyľaká. Lenže na druhý deň je Margo preč a zanechá po sebe len indície určené práve jemu. Vydáva sa teda na cestu plnú odbočiek, a čím bližšie je k cieľu, tým lepšie spoznáva skutočnú tvár priateľky – a možno aj svoju vlastnú.

V jeden studený večer sa na najnepravdepodobnejšom mieste v Chicagu stretnú dvaja neznámi chlapci s rovnakým menom. Od tej chvíle sa ich životy prepletajú. Hoci žijú na rozličných predmestiach jedného mesta, akoby žili na rozličných planétach. Keď ich osud zaveje na prekvapujúcu križovatku, životy Willov Graysonov sa uberú nečakaným smerom. S pomocou nových aj starých priateľov vrátane obrovského Drobca Coopera, futbalového útočníka a nevšedne nadaného autora muzikálu, Will a Will začnú smerovať k romantickému rozuzleniu, ktoré vyvrcholí najúžasnejším stredoškolským muzikálom v dejinách.

John Green je tu s úplne novým románom Poučka o podstate predvídateľnosti Katherín, v ktorom sa spoznáme s Colinom Singletonom. Mládencom, ktorý má vo vzťahu k nežnému pohlaviu svoj jasný typ – dievčatá, ktoré sa volajú Katherine. Má to však chybu – zakaždým od nich dostane kopačky. Stalo sa mu to už presne devätnásťkrát. Tento veľký fanúšik prešmyčiek má odrazu strach, že je odpísaný, lebo zo zázračného dieťaťa zrejme nikdy nevyrastie dospelý génius, a tak sa vyberie na road trip. Colin má jasný cieľ: dokázať platnosť Poučky o podstate predvídateľnosti Katherín. Ale ako to už býva, nič nie je také jednoduché a nech už jeho snaha skončí akokoľvek, jedno je isté – každá cesta človeka zmení. Bez ohľadu na výsledok...

Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world--and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

The world of John Green’s kid-favorite InvestiGators series expands with the first volume of AGENTS OF S.U.I.T., a brand-new spinoff shining a light on some of Mango and Brash’s colorful coworkers. Cilantro the Chameleon finally gets what she’s been waiting for: a field assignment. Only...it’s literally out in the middle of a field, and her orders are so vague, she can hardly tell what she’s supposed to be investigating. But as she begins to uncover a sheep-led worker’s rights revolt and an alien invasion conspiracy—not to mention a spooky haunting at the abandoned S.U.I.T. field outpost—Cilantro steps into her own V.E.S.T. as a valued member of the team. Joining this series is co-writer Chris Hastings and artist Pat Lewis, with John heavily involved in guiding the Agents along this standalone but complementary saga.

InvestiGators fans, rejoice! Get ready to dive into the second volume of Agents of S.U.I.T., featuring the weird and wacky co-workers of everyone's favorite sewer-sleuthing super-agents, Mango and Brash!

MANGO and BRASH are the INVESTIGATORS: sewer-loving agents of S.U.I.T.* and scourge of supervillains everywhere! With their Very Exciting Spy Technology and their tried-and-true, toilet-based travel techniques, the InvestiGators are undercover and on the case! And on their first mission together, they have not one but two mysteries to solve! Can Mango and Brash uncover the clues, crack their cases, and corral the crooks—or will the criminals wriggle out of their grasp? *Special Undercover Investigation Teams

In the first book of AGENTS OF S.U.I.T., the new volume in John Green’s smash-hit INVESTIGATORS world, eager rookie agent Cilantro stepped into the spotlight—and rocketed into space! Now it’s time for the B-Team to show why they’re so un-B-lievably B-loved. That’s right, Bongo and Marsha, the super-spy Badgers, are on the case...and way over-budget. When S.U.I.T. realizes just how much money the Badgers waste with their gadgets and spy vehicles and custom plush toys, they’re sent to Bora Bora to investigate a case...the old-fashioned way. The bees—that’s “bee-ee-ee,” like the insect—that run the resort are hiding something under the tropical sands, and Marsha and Bongo are just the bumbling agents to crack this pineapple-flavored case wide open.

"Much has been written about how awful the German Democratic Republic supposedly was: a people imprisoned by a wall and subjugated by an omnipresent Stasi security apparatus. Such descriptions are based largely on prejudice, ignorance and wilful animosity. This book is an attempt to provide a more balanced evaluation and to examine GDR-style socialism in terms of what we can learn from it. The authors, while not ignoring the real deficiencies of GDR society, emphasise the many aspects that were positive, and demonstrate that alternative ways of organising society are possible. This volume is an updated and much expanded edition of the authors' booklet first published in 2009. Thee have added more detail on how the GDR came into being as a separate state, about how society functioned and what values determined the every-day life of its citizens. There is also a whole new section on what happened in the aftermath of unification, particularly to the economy. While unification brought East Germans access to a more affluent society, freedom to travel throughout the world and the end to an over-centralised political system, it also brought with it unemployment, social breakdown and loss of hope, particularly in the once thriving rural areas." -- From back cover.

Najznámejšia kniha svetového sci-fi autora je dramatickým príbehom okupácie Zeme mimozemšťanmi, ktorých planéta už bola preľudnená, preto pre seba hľadajú nové územia. Ťažiskovou lokalizáciou deja je Londýn, kde vypukne neúprosná panika a boj o preži tie pred neznámymi smrtonosnými zbraňami. Zakladateľ modernej sci-fi literatúry nimi vniesol do hry vtedy ešte neznáme laserové zbrane. Panike prepadla i armáda. Román je písaný takmer dokumentárnym štýlom, možno povedať, že ide o denník hlavného hrdinu, ktorý udalosti mapuje cez prizmu osudu jednotlivca a jeho blízkych v katastrofickej, maximálne vyhrotenej situácii. Tá odhaľuje charaktery hlavných postáv v medzných situáciách a strháva vírom neočakávaného druhu nebezpečenstva. Hoci od Wellsových čias pribudlo množstvo podobnej katastrofickej sci-fi literatúry, Vojna svetov si svojou prelomovosťou vydobyla zaslúžené miesto medzi klasickými dielami. Ide o nový slovenský preklad, prvý kompletný, necenzurovaný.

Obaja majú šestnásť, sú spolužiaci a sú úplne iní ako ostatní. Eleanor - Červenovláska z chudobnej rodiny. V jednej izbe sa tlačí so štyrmi súrodencami. S nevlastným otcom sa neznáša pre jeho násilnícke sklony. V škole je nová a nepatrí k obľúbencom – nenosí značkové oblečenie, lebo jej rodičia na to nemajú, nie je štíhla ako spolužiačky a na jej vtipných hláškach sa nikto nesmeje. Park - Jeho rodina netrpí núdzou, ale Park nemá rád sám seba. Chýbajú mu svaly bejzbalistu, výška basketbalistu a sebavedomie amerického tínedžera z nebraskej Omahy. Parkovu matku si totiž otec priviedol z Kórey a syn zdedil jej ázijské črty. A tak si najradšej číta komiksy, počúva obľúbenú hudbu a v školskom autobuse sedí sám. Až kým jedného dňa nenastúpi istá červenovláska a nikto – okrem neho – ju k sebe nepustí sadnúť. Eleanor a Park nie sú hlúpi a vedia, že prvá láska takmer nikdy nevydrží. Sú však aj dosť zúfalí a dosť odvážni, a tak to spolu skúsia...

«Είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου», επέμεινε. «Είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου και δε με ενδιαφέρει να στερήσω από τον εαυτό μου την απλή απόλαυση του να λέω αλήθειες. Είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου, και το ξέρω πως ο έρωτας είναι απλώς μια κραυγή στο κενό, πως η λήθη είναι αναπόφευκτη και πως είμαστε όλοι καταδικασμένοι, και θα έρθει η μέρα που ο κόπος μας θα γίνει ξανά σκόνη, ξέρω πως ο ήλιος θα καταπιεί τη μόνη γη που θα αποκτήσουμε, κι είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου». Όταν η Χέιζελ συναντά τον Ογκάστους, ανακαλύπτει στο πρόσωπό του ένα αδελφό πνεύμα και μαζί του θα μοιραστεί τους φόβους, τα άγχη, τους προβληματισμούς της, αλλά και μια αγάπη που αγγίζει τις πιο μύχιες γωνιές της ψυχής τους. Οι δυο τους με ανατρεπτική αίσθηση του χιούμορ και ωμή ειλικρίνεια θα προσπαθήσουν να αναζητήσουν από κοινού προσωπικές απαντήσεις σε καθολικά ερωτήματα της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης...

È la Vigilia di Natale a Gracetown. Scende la neve, i regali sono già sotto l’albero e le luci brillano per le strade. Sembra tutto pronto per la festa, ma una tormenta arriva a sparigliare le carte. Così si può rimanere bloccati su un treno in mezzo al nulla e vagare per la città fino a incontrare un intrigante sconosciuto. Oppure prendere la macchina per raggiungere una festa che promette di essere memorabile, per scoprire che l’amore è più vicino di quanto pensassimo. O ancora ritrovare qualcuno che si credeva perduto, ma solo dopo una giornata piena di imprevisti e di… maiali. Grazie a John Green, Maureen Johnson e Lauren Myracle, affermati autori Young Adult, la magia delle vacanze splende su questi tre racconti d’amore, che s’intrecciano tra loro mettendo in scena baci appassionati e avventure esilaranti.

Seine 5. Katherine fand Jungs eklig. Seine 10. Katherine wollte, dass sie nur Freunde blieben. Seine 19. Katherine brach ihm das Herz. Colin ist ein echtes Wunderkind: Er spricht elf Sprachen fließend, bildet liebend gerne Anagramme und ist überhaupt ein wandelndes Lexikon. In der Liebe allerdings läuft es alles andere als gut. Gerade hat ihn zum neunzehnten Mal eine Katherine sitzengelassen. Auf einer Reise quer durch Nordamerika, zu der ihn sein Freund Hassan überredet hat, entwickelt Colin ein Theorem, mit dem er in Zukunft rechtzeitig vorausberechnen will, wann ihn eine Freundin abservieren wird. Doch dann lernt er Lindsey kennen, die sein mühsam ausgearbeitetes Theorem mit einem Wimpernschlag widerlegen wird. Nominiert für den Preis der Jury der Jungen Leser 2009, Literaturhaus Wien
