Lacná kniha In the Spirit of St. Tropez (-70%)
The best stories. A village that caresses the eye and attracted a host of artists at he turn of the twentieth century. A village whose heyday came in the middle of the 1950s, when a young Franco-Russian filmmaker brought cameras and crew to its sun dazzled beaches to make his first feature film: And God Created Woman. The shock wave created by Roger Vadim revealed a resplendent creature, a leg-end: Brigitte Bardot, rocketing to fame in the village she chose as her home, which would bask in the glory of those years forever. In its pearly haven, artists, film stars, playboys and top models would spend sun-soaked days and starry nights in affairs and adventures that have since entered the pages of history. In the Spirit of Saint-Tropez is illustrated with numerous previously unpublished photographs.

Homie
"& colin kaepernick is my president, who kneels on the airbent toward a branch, throwing apples down to the children & vets& rihanna is my president, walking out of global summitswith wine glass in hand, our taxes returned in goldto dust our faces into coins& my mama is my president, her grace stuntson amazing, brown hands breaking brown bread overmouths of the hungry until there are none unfed & my grandma is my president & her cabinet is her cabinetcause she knows to trust what the pan knowshow the skillet wins the war" -from 'my president'Danez Smith is our President. A mighty anthem about the saving grace of friendship, Danez Smith's highly anticipated collection Homie is rooted in their search for joy and intimacy in a time where both are scarce. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living.
But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family - blood and chosen - arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, Homie is written for friends: for Danez's friends, for yours.

How To Do Nothing Resisting the Attention Economy
Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year Nothing is harder to do these days than nothing. But in a world where our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity . . . doing nothing may be our most important form of resistance. So argues artist and critic Jenny Odell in this field guide to doing nothing (at least as capitalism defines it). Odell sees our attention as the most precious--and overdrawn--resource we have. Once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind's role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.

Red Scrolls of Magic
From #1 New York Times bestseller Cassandra Clare and award-winner Wesley Chu comes the first book in a new series that follows High Warlock Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood as they tour the world after the Mortal War. The Red Scrolls of Magic is a Shadowhunters novel.
All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation-a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years ago. As a joke.
Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. As if it wasn't bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever-even if it means revealing the secrets they've both been keeping.

A királyok végső érve
Kilencujjú Logenre talán az utolsó párbaj vár, de az nem lesz semmi. Odafent északon dúlnak a harcok, Északföld királya keményen küzd, és csak egyetlen ember állíthatja meg. Legrégebbi barátja és legrégebbi ellensége. Itt az idő, hogy a Véres Kilences hazatérjen. Glokta elöljáró, akinek a kelleténél több gazdája, ám a kelleténél kevesebb ideje van, egy teljesen másféle harcot vív. A titokzatos csaták közepette senki nem érezheti magát biztonságban, és senki nem bízhat a másikban. Mivel a kardforgatás már rég nem az erőssége, egyáltalán nem bánja, hogy a zsarolás, a fenyegetés és a kínzás sosem mennek ki a divatból. Jezal dan Luthar eldöntötte magában, hogy a győzelem kivívása túlontúl fájdalmas folyamat, ezért hátat fordított a katonáskodásnak, hogy a szeretett nővel élhesse egyszerű életét. Csakhogy a szerelem is fájdalmas tud lenni a dicsőségnek pedig megvan az a rút szokása, hogy akkor éri utol az embert, amikor az a legkevésbé számít rá. Miközben az Unió királya a halálos ágyán fekszik, a parasztok lázonganak, a nemesek pedig egymással hadakoznak a koronájáért, mégsem gondolja senki, hogy az ország szívére a háború árnyéka vetülhet. Csak az Első Mágusnak vannak tervei a világ megmentésére, ezek azonban kockázatokkal járnak. És a legrettenetesebb kockázat mind közül az Első Törvény megszegése. Lélegzetelállító pillanatok, nagyszerű karakterek és komor nevetés - Dreamwatch .

A tél katonája
Bécs, ?1914. Lucius ifjú orvostanhallgató, amikor Európában kitör az első világháború. Rabul ejtik a frontsebészetről szóló szép, romantikus történetek, így rögtön jelentkezik önkéntesnek, arra számítva, hogy egy jól felszerelt, tábori kórházba kerül. Ám amikor megérkezik a Kárpátok egy távoli, magasan fekvő völgyében álló, katonai célra rekvirált templomhoz, egy olyan előretolt állást talál, ahol farkasordító hideg van, és korábban tífusz tombolt. A többi orvos már elmenekült, és csak egy rejtélyes ápolónő maradt ott: Margarete nővér. De Lucius kezében még sosem volt szike. Miközben a téli tájon dúl a háború, beleszeret abba a nőbe, akitől meg kell tanulnia a kényszer diktálta, brutális orvoslást. Egy nap egy különös katonát hoznak be hozzájuk a hóból, akinek az egyenruhája furcsa rajzokkal van kitömve. Bár menthetetlennek tűnik, de végül Lucius olyan döntést hoz, amely örökre megváltoztatja az orvos, a beteg és a nővér életét. A birodalmi Bécs aranyozott báltermeitől a keleti front jeges erdeiig, a kézzel összetákolt műtőtől a csatamezőn száguldó kozák lovasságig: ez a könyv a háború, a gyógyítás, a család és a megtalált szerelem története a történelem viharai közepette, mely bemutatja, milyen hibákat követünk el, és milyen becses lehetőségek adódnak, hogy azokat jóvátegyük.

A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations
If, in the ancient world, it was guns and germs and steel that determined the fates of people and nations, in modern times it is electricity. No other form of power translates into affluence and influence like it. Though demand for it is growing exponentially, it remains one of the most difficult forms of energy to supply and to do so reliably.
Storage is even harder. This paradox has shaped global politics, affected the outcome of wars, and underlies the growing chasm between rich and poor, educated and uneducated. It is changing the game for business, and the requirements of national defence.
It is altering the landscape and complicating the task of dealing effectively with climate change. In this book, Robert Bryce explains the unique nature of electricity as a commodity. He draws on stories from history to illustrate the stunning impact of our quest to harness it, illuminates exactly what is required to successfully sustain it, and explores the impact on societies and individuals when it collapses.
As billions of people around the world still live in darkness, the gap between the electricity haves and have-nots widens, with profound political and ethical consequences. Modern life, even civilisation, has become ever more dependent on a source of energy that must be produced locally and in the moment, in a reliably steady stream at particular wattage, conveyed on wires strung on poles or threaded through pipes. If the lights go out, so does our manner of living, with potentially devastating consequences.

Cage of Souls
Humanity clings to life on a dying Earth in an epic, far-future SF from an award-winning author. The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity.
Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor. This is his testament, an account of the journey that took him into the blazing desolation of the western deserts; that transported him east down the river and imprisoned him in the verdant hell of the jungle's darkest heart; that led him deep into the labyrinths and caverns of the underworld. He will meet with monsters, madman, mutants.
The question is, which one of them will inherit this Earth?

Az elveszett cirkáló
Nincs azon semmi csodálkozni való, hogy a Brit Királyi Tengerészet történetének lapjain nem szerepel a Balmoral nevű cirkáló eltűnésének históriája, az érdemes hadihajót ugyanis az éj leple alatt kötötte el Piszkos Fred. El nem ítélhető tettét azért követte el, mert egy hajó bérlésére nála lévő pénzt elrulettezte Hajóra pedig szüksége volt, hogy elindulhasson az expedíció Indokínába egy eltűnt légionista felkutatására. Szegény Piszkos Fred, ha előre sejti, hogy egy angol hadihajó kapitányának ápoltsági szintjéig mosdatják, aligha vág bele a dologba. De ha már benne voltak, mellékesen megoldották őfelsége birodalmának gyarmatügyi kérdését, lelepleztek egy veszedelmes árulót, többször megmentették a fiatal Earl of Sudessex életét és végül teljesen váratlanul megtalálták a légionistát
