How do you make a movie, when you aren’t a grown-up
by Zuzka Dušičková, Adela Režná
One day, Marina Submarina decided to shoot a great movie about pirates and monsters. With her grandpa and friends, because one can’t do everything on their own. What’s more, it was loads of fun with them. Marina even took a secret oath on the carousel with Jonas and Chris that would never go to school again because they would already know how to make movies. And so they didn’t spend holiday climbing trees and riding bikes, well, all right, they did, but only a little! But they were thoroughly looking for the film crew and actors, scrambling costumes, making up the plan, arranging placing for shooting and, of course, shooting! Foreign Rights: books@owlagency.org

Humanities & Social SciencesÉtica aplicada
Desde la medicina hasta el humor
by Mauricio Correa Casanova y Adela Cortina
Resulta indesmentible que hoy la realidad social exige a la filosofía moral comprometerse con la vida cotidiana. La ética aplicada configura una forma nueva de saber, de reflexionar sobre los problemas morales y de proponer recomendaciones para la acción. Empresas, servicios públicos, colegios profesionales o entidades sin fines de lucro, entre muchos otros, han incorporado los nuevos modos éticos de saber y hacer, y universidades de todo el mundo abordan este tema a través de cátedras, programas y centros de investigación. Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos sobre distintos ámbitos de la ética aplicada, como la ecología, la biomedicina, la empresa o la economía, que el lector común seguramente ya reconoce. Otros, en cambio, se presentan aquí con toda su novedad para situarnos ante desafíos inéditos en campos como la neuroética, el deporte, la ciudad y el humor. El principal objetivo es ofrecer a jóvenes y adultos, alumnos o profesores, funcionarios públicos o del mundo privado, perspectivas éticas en los más diversos ámbitos de la sociedad que contribuyan a encarnar la moralidad en la vida diaria, que es sin duda el real sentido de la ética aplicada. "La tarea de la razón práctica no consiste solo en enunciar lo que se debe hacer, sino también en tomar carne en las instituciones, transformándolas desde dentro. De ahí que la ética aplicada sea un elemento ineludible de cualquier diseño institucional que desee funcionar con bien, incluso lo es de cualquier proyecto de investigación que quiera recibir el visto bueno".

Oral historyFebruary 2018Hitler, Stalin and I
An Oral History
by Heda Margolius Kovály and Helena Třeštíková; translated by Ivan Margolius
This life and death human drama is not just about one survivor but a meaningful observation of an even more significant story about the bloody outcomes of extremism. – New York Journal of Books Through interviews with award-winning filmmaker Helena Treštíková, Kovály recounts her experiences under fascist and communist oppression. Miraculously surviving both Łódz Ghetto and Auschwitz, then escaping from a death march, Heda participated in the Prague Uprising and its liberation. Later, under Communist rule Heda suffered extreme social isolation after her first husband Rudolf Margolius was unjustly accused in the infamous Slánský Trial and executed for treason. Her son and translator of the book, Ivan Margolius, adds critical contextual information surrounding the trial and its recently uncovered documents and film footage. Remarkably, Kovály, who was exiled in the United States after the brutal crushing of the Prague Spring, only had love for her country and continued to believe in its people. She returned to Prague in 1996 and died there in 2010 at the age of 91.
