Vanity Unfair
Set in Slovakia, a revealing narrative about contemporary society. An accidental pregnancy, a good-looking man who cares about no one but himself, marriage because the man "had a bit of a Christian upbringing," divorce--that is the trajectory of Pipina's life, leading to single motherhood and a thousand cruelties of everyday life because she is an ugly woman in a world where ugliness is worse than a death sentence. At every turn, she is reminded of her inferiority. She can't wait for the end of each day when she can sit in the stairwell outside of her dilapidated apartment and retreat into her thoughts. Her drab life full of indignities dissolves only in her beautiful, cinematic dreams. In them, she experiences whatever she can't do or have in real life. She creates a rich inner world, and her razor-sharp observations, interlaced with a good dose of humor, produce a revealing narrative about contemporary society. In the first English translation of her work, the brilliant Slovak author Zuzana Cigánová pulls back the veil on people's most private thoughts--thoughts that could very much be our own.
Oko bouře
Druhý díl postapokalyptické trilogie Krysy apokalypsy I bohové potřebují naději. Mocní se perou o vládu nad známým světem, zatímco magie je čím dál nevyzpytatelnější. Každý dobrý skutek je po zásluze potrestán a ušlechtilé úmysly jsou zašlapány pod nánosy zrady a nedorozumění. Arumielovy plány se pomalu rozpadají a supi už krouží, aby si urvali svůj díl. I když je velký spasitel stále pánem mnoha životů, které může z pouhého rozmaru nechat snadno vyhasnout, slepá poslušnost jeho poddaných už dávno není samozřejmostí. Příliš mnoho jich ztratilo víru a nechává se zlákat vidinou možné svobody. Otázkou zůstává, co bude onou po...
Boat Number Five
The moving yet humorous story of a girl struggling to care for herself and others in post-communist Slovakia. Emotionally neglected by her immature, promiscuous mother and made to care for her cantankerous dying grandmother, twelve-year-old Jarka is left to fend for herself in the social vacuum of a post-communist concrete apartment-block jungle in Bratislava, Slovakia. She spends her days roaming the streets and daydreaming in the only place she feels safe: a small garden inherited from her grandfather. One day, on her way to the garden, she stops at a suburban railway station and impulsively abducts twin babies. Jarka teeters on the edge of disaster, and while struggling to care for the babies, she discovers herself. With a vivid and unapologetic eye, Monika Kompaníková captures the universal quest for genuine human relationships amid the emptiness and ache of post-communist Europe. Boat Number Five, which was adapted into an award-winning Slovak film, is the first of two books that launch Seagull's much-anticipated Slovak List.

Forensic Histopathology
This second edition, which combines the features of an atlas and a textbook, presents findings in forensic histology, immunohistochemistry, and cytology based on microscopic investigations using different stainings and different antibodies. Questions of quality when working in the field of forensic histology are included as well as scientific perspectives for further research. The principal aim is to provide practitioners with detailed information and guidance on how microscopy can help to clarify the cause of sudden and unexpected death. Therefore additional and particularly rare histopathological findings are presented. Many of the topics will be of interest not only to forensic pathologists but also to general pathologists, whether practitioners or researchers. Examples include the pathology of drug abuse, wound age determination, adverse drug reactions, histopathology of the sudden infant death syndrome, and age determination of myocardial infarction. Both typical and unusual findings are demonstrated with the aid of numerous high-quality color illustrations, and other key literature in forensic histology and immunohistochemistry is highlighted for each topic.
