Martin a Vrútky z neba - Martin and Vrútky from heaven
Martin a Vrútky, mestá, v ktorých sa toľkokrát rozhodovalo o osude slovenského národa, by sme mohli nazvať aj našimi posvätnými. O to viac je vhodný aj názov tejto knihy, ktorá nám významné miesta nášho národa predstaví z neba.
Venice: The Lion, the City and the Water
With this treasury of his time spent in Venice over a period of fifty-five years, Nooteboom makes himself the indispensable companion for all lovers of "the sailing, amphibious city", and for every new visitor.
Because he is a master storyteller with an inexhaustible curiosity, and always with a suitcase of books (to which new discoveries are added), he brings vividly and poetically to life not only the tumultuous history of the Republic but along the way its doges, its villains, its heroes, its magnificent painters, its architects, its scholars, its skies, its canals and piazzas and alleyways, and on his expeditions its "bronze voices of time".
Those who know and love this city and its literature will recognise Nooteboom - in Laura Watkinson's fine translation - as the dazzling heir and companion to Montaigne, Thomas Mann, Rilke, Ruskin, Proust, Brodsky, and Donna Leon. His homage to Venice is a generous introduction, learned and enchanting, and worthy of its magnificent subject.
Translated from the Dutch by Laura Watkinson
The Weaver and the Witch Queen
Oddny and Gunnhild meet as children in tenth century Norway, and they could not be more different: Oddny hopes for a quiet life, while Gunnhild burns for power and longs to escape her cruel mother. But after a visiting wisewoman makes an ominous prophecy that involves Oddny, her sister Signy, and Gunnhild, the three girls take a blood oath to help one another always.
When Oddny’s farm is destroyed and Signy is kidnapped by Viking raiders, Oddny is set adrift from the life she imagined—but she’s determined to save her sister no matter the cost, even as she finds herself irresistibly drawn to one of the raiders who participated in the attack. And far to the north, Gunnhild, who fled her home years ago to learn the ways of a witch, is surprised to find her destiny seems to be linked with that of the formidable King Eirik, heir apparent to the ruler of all Norway.
But the bonds—both enchanted and emotional—that hold the two women together are strong, and when they find their way back to each other, these bonds will be tested in ways they never could have foreseen in this deeply moving novel of magic, history, and sworn sisterhood.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night
An Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller
The Hunger Games meets vampires in this heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue from bestselling author Carissa Broadbent.
For humans and vampires, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.
The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.
But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.
Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.
But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.
The Serpent & the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series.
This edition features beautiful, brand-new case art and a detailed map of the Obitraes.

The Hedgehog And The Fox
The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.
For Isaiah Berlin, there is a fundamental distinction in mankind: those who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things - foxes - and those who relate everything to a central all-embracing system - hedgehogs. It can be applied to the greatest creative minds: Dante, Ibsen and Proust are hedgehogs, while Shakespeare, Aristotle and Joyce are foxes.
Yet when Berlin reaches the case of Tolstoy, he finds a fox by nature, but a hedgehog by conviction; a duality which holds the key to understanding Tolstoy's work, illuminating a paradox of his philosophy of history and showing why he was frequently misunderstood by his contemporaries and critics.

Beatles, The - The Beatles 2LP
V listopadu 1968 byly do všemožných hudebních obchodů světa vyslány miliony kopií eponymního devátého dvojalba jedné z nejlegendárnějších kapel hudební historie - Beatles. Albu, které po generace nepřestává lidstvo inspirovat, se později začalo přezdívat The White Album. Reedice desky vyjde 9. listopadu a bude obsahovat 30 Gilesem Martinem (syn George Martina) a Samem Okellem nově vysoce kvalitně zmixovaných písní (The White Album), 27 dřívějších akustických demo nahrávek (Esher Demos) a 50 z většiny dosud nevydaných nahrávek pocházejících ze studiových sessions (Sessions).
The White Album bude k dostání v několika verzích. Super deluxe verze s tradičním unikátním číslem bude obsahovat dva disky, na kterých je nahrané album, jeden disk s Esher Demos, tři disky Sessions, čtyři Blu-ray verze alba a je doplněna knihou plnou fotografií, plakátů, rukopisů, poznámek a textů. Deluxe varianta bude obsahovat výše zmíněné disky, 4LP limitovaný box set - klasické album a audio kolekci, která mj. obsahuje Esher Demos, 24stránkový booklet, plakáty a portréty. Standard verze potom obsahuje klasické původní 2LP.
Většina skladeb byla složena v meditačním centru Mahariši Maheš Jógiho poblíž indického Rišikeše, kam členové skupiny se svými manželkami odcestovali v únoru 1968, aby se zrekreovali a věnovali se meditacím. Na rozdíl od předchozího alba, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, nebylo The White Album zamýšleno jako konceptuální album. Písně nespojuje žádné téma, střídá se i mnoho stylů hudby (blues, hard-rock, folk, ska a další). Je možné, že právě z důvodu takového množství nesourodých „škatulek” či „koutků” chtěli Beatles toto album původně nazvat Domeček pro panenky.
Obal desky navrhl renomovaný autor pop artu Richard Hamilton a je v kontrastu s obalem „Seržanta Peppera” stejně, jako je tomu v případě hudebního obsahu těchto dvou alb. Celá obálka má bílou barvu. Na obálce je pouze plasticky či v odstínech šedi vytlačen název alba.
Album se v Británii i Americe stalo okamžitým bestsellerem, který se umístil na prvních příčkách, kde se držel osm až devět týdnů. Deska se stala 19x platinovou a v roce 2000 byla uvedena do Grammy Hall of Fame jako „deska s neuvadající kvalitou a historickým významem”. „Jedná se o nejlepší album, které kdy Beatles vydali a jenom Beatles mohou udělat ještě lepší,” komentoval tehdy desku spoluzakladatel časopisu Rolling Stone Jann Wenner.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation
A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature. Our narrator has many of the advantages of life, on the surface. Young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. But there is a vacuum at the heart of things, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents in college, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her alleged best friend. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?
This story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs, designed to heal us from our alienation from this world, shows us how reasonable, even necessary, that alienation sometimes is. Blackly funny, both merciless and compassionate – dangling its legs over the ledge of 9/11 – this novel is a showcase for the gifts of one of America’s major young writers working at the height of her powers.
The Girl and the Moon
The green world overwhelms all of Yaz's expectations. Everything seems different but some things remain the same: her old enemies are still bent on her destruction.
The Corridor abounds with plenty and unsuspected danger. To stand a chance against the eyeless priest, Eular, and the god-like city-mind, Seus, Yaz will need to learn fast and make new friends.
The Convent of Sweet Mercy, like the Corridor itself, is packed with peril and opportunity. Yaz needs the nuns' help - but first they want to execute her.
The fate of everyone squeezed between the Corridor's vast walls, and ultimately the fate of those labouring to survive out on ice itself, hangs from the moon, and the battle to save the moon centres on the Ark of the Missing, buried beneath the emperor's palace. Everyone wants Yaz to be the key that will open the Ark - the one the wise have sought for generations. But sometimes wanting isn't enough.
THE GIRL AND THE MOON is the third and final volume in The Book of Ice trilogy.
