Jayler - Voices Unheard CD
O britské rockové skupině Jayler se v poslední době mluví jako o jednom z největších příslibů nové vlny klasického rocku. Tato mladá čtveřice pochází z anglického Birminghamu (kolébky heavy metalu) a tvoří ji James, Tyler, Ricky a Ed. Jejich zvuk je silně ovlivněn ikonami 70. let, jako jsou Led Zeppelin nebo Black Sabbath, ale doplňují ho moderní energií ve stylu Rival Sons či Greta Van Fleet. Kapela na sebe strhla pozornost především díky své dravosti na pódiu a technické vyspělosti, která je u tak mladých hudebníků výjimečná. Často jsou chváleni za to, že vrací do rocku poctivé kytarové riffy a silný, syrový vokál.
Debutové album Jayler dostalo název „Voices Unheard“. Za zmínku z něj stojí třeba skladby „Down Below“ (energická skladba s nádechem „vintage“ stylu, kde vyniká dravý vokál i foukací harmonika), „Need Your Love“ (rocková hymna s velkým refrénem stvořeným pro zaplněné haly) nebo „The Getaway“ a „Hate To See It End“ (svižné, vysokonapěťové skladby plné sebevědomého rock'n'rollu). V roce 2026, kdy mnoho věcí působí vyumělkovaně, vynikají Jayler jako osvěžující a autentická hudební síla.

Zahrádky
Kniha se soustřeďuje především na zahrádkaření v zahrádkových osadách. Právě zahrádkové osady jsou součástí evropských měst už 150 let. A jsou v Evropě všudypřítomné. Jsou tedy dlouhodobou – třebaže proměnlivou – a běžnou součástí měnících se měst. Zahrádky i celé zahrádkové osady představují prostory, které jsou pro moderní evropské město typické. Díky tomu je možné zahrádky použít jako nástroj k důkladnému prozkoumání vztahu mezi městem, městským životem a přírodou, ale i proměn těchto vztahů v průběhu času.

Sunbirth
As the sun starts slowly disappearing, the residents of a remote town in the desert find themselves undergoing shocking transformations in this dazzlingly eerie and bewitching novel.
In Five Poems Lake, a town surrounded by impenetrable deserts, the sun is slowly disappearing overhead. A young woman keeps an apprehensive eye on the sky above as she tends her family's pharmacy of traditional medicine. She has few customers, and even fewer visitors. Her father was found dead by the lake twelve years ago, in unexplained circumstances. Her elder sister, Dong Ji, works at a wellness parlour across town for those who can afford it - which, during these strange and difficult days, is not many.
The town fell on hard times long before the sun began to shrink. But now, as the temperature drops and the lake freezes over, the inhabitants of the town realise there is no way they can survive. When the Beacons appear - ordinary people with heads replaced by searing, blinding light, like miniature suns - the residents wonder if they may hold the answer to their salvation, or if they are just another sign of impending ruin. Soon, Dong Ji and her sister will uncover a photograph which may offer a clue in the mystery of the Beacons, and finally help them learn what happened to their father.

Don't miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run, a must-have for any book lover.
An epic quest fantasy adventure in which an indentured servant must free the goddess of peace and wisdom.
The goddess needs a nobody. The prince needs a miracle. Soli Graymind might be both.
Soli has spent most of her life being invisible-an indentured servant, a library mold-scrubber, the girl no one sees unless she's in the way. So, when the king's guards show up with swords drawn, she assumes it's a mistake.
It's not.
Moments later, she's standing in the throne room while the king tells her she's been chosen to retrieve a set of ancient keys-only the keys can save the goddess and stop the chaos beyond the palace walls. Because the world isn't waiting to be saved.
It's already burning.
And beside him stands Prince Kaelen: devastatingly beautiful, mercilessly cold, and certain Soli won't survive the hard journey ahead.
He's probably right.
But Soli's survived a lifetime of hard everything. She may be a nobody-no training, no real power, and no idea why she was chosen-but she refuses to be expendable. Even if the quest ahead is anything but simple. When assassins, monsters, and impossible choices fracture the fragile alliance slowly building with the Prince, Soli realizes she can't hide in the shadows anymore.
Because, for the first time in her life, she has something to lose…

The pair haven't seen each other since the tragic death of Katie's older brother. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie - naturally - was the girl next door.
But despite both their bitter complaints at the reunion, the agent who hired them won't let them off the job.
Soon, they're working on their co-written romance novel in forced proximity, and realising that's not the only written trope that's coming to life . . .

Being Carlos Alcaraz
The first detailed and comprehensively researched biography of the heir apparent to the Djokovic-Nadal-Federer era.
A deeply researched biography of the new (smiley) face of tennis. A global star who has achieved more than Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did by this stage of their careers. At just 19 years old, Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open and became the youngest ever men's world number one. At only 21, he already had four Grand Slam titles.
For Alcaraz, everything - from his charm to his star power to his tennis mojo - starts with a smile. But there is a more complex character behind the smile. One who grew up in modest circumstances in a small village in Murcia in southern Spain. A man with strong family traditions who has a tattoo of his grandfather's favorite saying - 'cabeza, corazon y cojones' (brain, heart and balls) - inked on his left wrist.
Mark Hodgkinson talks to those who know Alcaraz best - including his coaches, old teachers and competitors - to provide a fascinating insight into a showman with ambitions of becoming the GOAT, the greatest of all time.

A Pál utcai fiúk
„[…] most először kezdett derengeni egyszerű gyereklelkében a sejtés arról, hogy tulajdonképpen mi is az élet, amelynek mindnyájan küzdő, hol bánatos, hol vidám szolgái vagyunk.”
A több mint száz éve íródott A Pál utcai fiúk immár a magyar irodalom élő klasszikusa. Molnár Ferenc humora, kifinomult karakterábrázolása és a regény témái – hűség, barátság, összetartás – kortalanná, a mai iskolások számára is élvezhetővé és mélyen átélhetővé teszik a történetet. Nem véletlen, hogy A Pál utcai fiúk az egyik legismertebb és legolvasottabb magyar regény külföldön, több országban is kötelező vagy ajánlott olvasmány.
A regényből készült, 2016 óta több színházban is hatalmas sikerrel játszott musical a kedvelt kötelező olvasmány népszerűségét új szintre emelte: a zene, a találó szövegek még közelebb hozták a fiatalokhoz a mondanivalót, az összetartozás érzését, amelyre napjainkban óriási szükség van.
