Lacná kniha Sum Of Our Days (-94%)
A brilliant memoir from the celebrated Chilean novelist on friends, family and life in California, her adopted home. Isabel Allende has sold more than 50 million copies of her books worldwide. The most beloved and successful of her books, 'The House of the Spirits', was based on her Chilean childhood, and her autobiographical works include the deeply moving 'Paula' -- a family history written at the bedside of her daughter while she lay in a coma -- and the fascinating 'My Invented Country', which explored the events of her native Chile where she lived until Pinochet's military coup. Now, in 'The Sum of the Days', we have Isabel describe in an exceptionally vivid, human and deeply personal way her life in California where she has lived for more than 25 years. The first page picks up from where Paula ends -- her daughter never did wake up from her coma and died in 1992 -- when Allende recounts spreading Paula's ashes in her favourite part of the woods by their home. It is fair to say that Isabel has never recovered from losing her daughter but has managed to survive by keeping her husband, son, grandchildren as well as close friends -- kindred spirits -- central to her life.' The Sum of the Days', based on Allende's own journals and daily correspondence with her mother in Chile, reveals the author to be a dazzling, generous, warm and hysterically funny matriarch within her swirl of family and friends.

My Invented Country
The life story of Isabel Allende -- one of the world's favourite writers -- is as exotic, passionate and inspiring as one of her novels. Just three when her parents divorced, Isabel Allende was raised in her grandparents' home in Chile. She left school at 16, and married Miguel Frias at 19. She then juggled her work as a journalist, editor, advice columnist and television interviewer with looking after her two children. But when her cousin the Chilean president Salvador Allende was assassinated in 1973 in Pinochet's right-wing military coup, her life changed profoundly. It was too dangerous to stay in Chile, and she, her husband, and their two children fled to Venezuela. During her impoverished exile, she started writing 'The House of the Spirits'. Based on her memories of her family and the political upheaval in her native country, it became an international bestseller and everything changed again!

Paula
Isabel Allendeová, ktorá bezpochyby patrí medzi najvýznamnejšie spisovateľky nášho storočia, je známa ako pokračovateľka Márquezovho magického realizmu a autorka svetoznámych diel Dom duchov (bol sfilmovaný v hlavnej úlohe s Meryl Streepovou), Láska a tieň, Eva Luna, Poviedky Evy Luny a Nekonečný plán, za ktoré sa stala držiteľkou americkej literárnej ceny Haralda Washingtona. Románom Paula si vo svete opäť získala srdcia svojich čitateľov i odbornej kritiky. Hlboko dojímavý príbeh románu tematicky vychádza z tragickej osobnej skúsenosti autorky - zo smrti jej 28-ročnej dcéry. Začína sa ako list, ktorý píše matka svojej dcére, no postupne sa z neho stáva meditácia o matkinom živote a dcérinej smrti, popretkávaná spomienkami, bizarnými postavami a vlastnými zážitkami. Knihu preložila Martina Slezáková.

City of the Beasts
With his mother in hospital, too ill to look after him, Alex is sent out to his grandmother Kate – a fearless reporter with blue eyes 'as sharp as daggers' points'. Kate is about to embark on an expedition to the dangerous, remote world of the Amazon rainforest, but rather than change her plans, she simply takes Alex along with her. They set off with their team – including a local guide and his daughter Nadia, with her wild, curly hair and skin the colour of honey – in search of a fabled headhunting tribe and a legendary, marauding creature known to locals only as 'the Beast', only to find out much, much more about the mysteries of the jungle and its inhabitants.
