When Genius Failed
Picking up where Liar's Poker left off (literally, in the bond dealer's desks of Salomon Brothers) the story of Long-Term Capital Management is of a group of elite investors who believed they could beat the market and, like alchemists, create limitless wealth for themselves and their partners.
Founded by John Meriweather, a notoriously confident bond dealer, along with two Nobel prize winners and a floor of Wall Street's brightest and best, Long-Term Captial Management was from the beginning hailed as a new gold standard in investing. It was to be the hedge fund to end all other hedge funds: a discreet private investment club limited to those rich enough to pony up millions.
It became the banks' own favourite fund and from its inception achieved a run of dizzyingly spectacular returns. New investors barged each other aside to get their investment money into LTCM's hands. But as competitors began to mimic Meriweather's fund, he altered strategy to maintain the fund's performance, leveraging capital with credit on a scale not fully understood and never seen before.
When the markets in Indonesia, South America and Russia crashed in 1998 LCTM's investments crashed with them and mountainous debts accumulated. The fund was in melt-down, and threatening to bring down into its trillion-dollar black hole a host of financial instiutions from New York to Switzerland. It's a tale of vivid characters, overwheening ambition, and perilous drama told, in Roger Lowenstein's hands, with brilliant style and panache.

The Magician
Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter--but did you know he really lived? And he might still be alive today! Discover the truth in Michael Scott's New York Times bestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel in The Magician, book two.
After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He's after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year--their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.
It's time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there's only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel's old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain--alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world's only hope--if they don't turn on each other first. "Readers will be swept up by a plot that moves smartly along, leaving a wide trail of destruction and well-timed revelations."--Kirkus Reveiws, Starred Read the whole series!

Warrior's Life Biography of Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho is a worldwide phenomenon. At a time when he is coming up to the fantastic achievement of 100 million copies sold worldwide across all his books, his fans will be delighted with the first ever official biography of Paulo, an in-depth look at his life and work, and what makes him the much-loved author he is today. Paulo's first official biographer, Fernando Morais, provides an exhaustive look at Paulo's fascinating and varied life, taking several years to research his subject, and interviewing everyone who knows Paulo. He weaves together the strands of Paulo's life, revealing the man behind the world-famous writer. Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 1947. Before he became internationally known and a worldwide bestseller, he had to overcome many obstacles. As a teenager, he was subjected to the brutality of electric shock treatment in the psychiatric hospital where his parents, who took his rebelliousness as a sign of madness, interned him three times. As a member of the esoteric underworld, he was put in prison for alleged subversive activities against the Brazilian dictatorship and subjected to physical torture. Later, Paulo joined forces with rock star Raul Seixas and together they composed songs that revolutionized Brazilian rock music. Hippie, journalist, rock star, actor, playwright, theatre director and producer of television programs, this whirlwind life came to an end in 1982, during a trip to Europe. In Dachau and later in Amsterdam, Paulo had a mystical meeting with "J", his new mentor, who persuaded him to walk the Road to Santiago de Compostela, a medieval pilgrim's route between France and Spain. In 1986 Paulo walked the Road to Santiago, and it was there that he reconverted to Christianity and found again the faith bequeathed to him by the Jesuit fathers of his school years. He would later describe this experience in his first book, The Pilgrimage. The following year, The Alchemist, established his worldwide reputation. The novel has already achieved the status of a universally admired modern classic. Now, for the first time, discover the true story of the man behind some of the world's most loved books.

Jak se duše stala tělem
Kniha Jak se duše stala tělem je pozoruhodný, dosud nepopsaný příběh vyprávějící o dramatickém historickém zvratu - vzrušujícím objevu funkce lidského mozku. Carl Zimmer, nositel literárních cen, vypráví nevídaným způsobem o objevování tajemství mozk
u v Anglii 17. století, příběh, který se odvíjí ve smrtící perspektivě občanské války, moru a velkého londýnského požáru. Na počátku tohoto bouřlivého století nikdo nevěděl, jak mozek funguje, nikdo neměl ponětí, jak vypadá v nedotčeném stavu. Na kon
ci stejného století věda o mozku zapustila kořeny. Pomohla překonat většinu běžných mylných představ a převládajících filozofií týkajících se lidí, Boha a vesmíru. Vůdčí osobností růstu tohoto nového vědeckého paradigmatu byl zakladatel moderní neuro
logie Thomas Willis, fascinující, sympatická, dokonce i heroická postava, střed mimořádné skupiny vědců a filozofů známé jako Oxfordský kroužek. Kniha je kronikou barvitě popisující zásadní objevy a často krvavé experimenty, které zprvu popisovaly mo
zek jako chemický stroj rozumu, emocí a šílenství, ve skutečnosti však jako vlastní sídlo duše.
Zimmer, kterého New York Times nazvaly nejlepším vědeckým esejistou, kterého máme, vypráví příběh této vědecké revoluce prostřednictvím životů pestrého
společenství alchymistů, mystiků, utopistů, špiónů, revolucionářů a králů. Oživuje náboženské, etické a vědecké střety provázející průkopnické pitvy mozku prováděné Thomasem Willisem; objev krevního oběhu, za který vděčíme Williamu Harveyovi, včetně
Harveyova útěku z Londýna společně s králem Karlem I.; Reného Descarta pronásledovaného za jeho pohled na mozek a duši jak katolíky, tak protestanty; experimenty i osobní dramata nadaných lidí, kteří navždy změnili způsob, jímž se dělala věda, přičem
ž současně převrátili náš pohled na lidské já i na naše místo ve světě.

Nesmrteľný alchymista
Veríte na čary a kúzla? Myslíte si, že je možné, aby sedemstoročný alchymista žil vo vašom susedstve? A zápasili ste už s golemom?... Že nie? Tak si to skúste predstaviť... Sophie a Josh Newmanovci, pätnásťročné dvojčatá zo San Francisca, by sa ešte nedávno nad týmto otázkami tiež neveriaco usmievali. Ich životy sa však zmenia vo chvíli, keď sa ocitnú uprostred súboja prastarých síl Dobra a Zla. Na jednej strane stojí slávny alchymista Nicholas Flamel, ktorý celé stáročia opatruje vzácnu knihu a tajomstvo večného života... a toho sa chce zmocniť armáda temných síl na čele s rafinovaným čarodejníkom Johnom Deem. Kľúčovú úlohu však majú v tomto zápase zohrať spočiatku nič netušiace dvojčatá - pradávne proroctvo hovorí, že práve oni majú moc zachrániť alebo odsúdiť k zániku svet a ľudstvo v jeho dnešnej podobe... Ktorá časť legendy sa teda naplní?!

Le Zahir
The press chat cites 65 million copies of Coelho's eight previous novels in print, making the Brazilian author one of the world's bestselling novelists (150 countries and 56 languages). This book, whose title means the present" or "unable to go unnoticed" in Arabic, has an initial staggered laydown of eight million copies in 83 countries and 42 languages. It centers on the narrator's search for his missing wife, Esther, a journalist who fled Iraq in the runup to the present war, only to disappear from Paris; the narrator, a writer, is freed from suspicion when his lover, Marie, comes forward with a (true) alibi. He seeks out Mikhail, the man who may be Esther's most recent lover and with whom she was last seen, who has abandoned his native Kazakhstan for a kind of speaking tour on love. Mikhail introduces the narrator to a global underground "tribe" of spiritual seekers who resist, somewhat vaguely, conventional ways of living. Through the narrator's journey from Paris to Kazakhstan, Coelho explores various meanings of love and life, but the impact of these lessons is diminished significantly as they are repeated in various forms by various characters. Then again, 65 million readers can't be wrong; the spare, propulsive style that drove The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes and Coelho's other books will easily carry fans through myriad iterations of the ways and means of amor."

Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu
Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu je rozmarná poviedka, ktorá nám dá vzácne ponaučenie: šťastie k nám nepríde len tak samo od seba - musíme mu vytvoriť podmienky, aby sme ho pritiahli. Jednoduchý a dojímavý príbeh priateľov z detstva Maxa a Jima sa začína v Central Parku v New Yorku, kde sa náhodou stretnú po päťdesiatich rokoch. Max prežil úspešný život, Jim, bohužiaľ, nie. Tajomstvo Maxovho úspechu spočíva v príbehu, ktorý mu kedysi dávno rozprával starý otec. Jeho príbeh pripomína Coelhovho Alchymistu a ukazuje, ako sa chopiť príležitosti a dosiahnuť v živote úspech. V prekvapujúcom závere sa poviedka vracia späť na začiatok a okrem podmanivého príbehu ponúka čitateľovi inšpiráciu i návod na získanie šťastia.

Encyklopédia snehu
Krátko po letnej búrke, ktorá minulý týždeň nečakane postihla predmestie Buffala, sa našlo opustené auto. Patrilo Sarah Emily Mianovej, ktorá sa nedávno vrátila do rodného mesta. Polícia objavila v kufri auta zviazaný rukopis s názvom Encyklopédia snehu, autorkou je pravdepodobne Mianová, aj keď sa zdá, že na ňom spolupracovala s neidentifikovaným švajčiarskym alchymistom, ktorý sa celý život venoval skúmaniu snehu. Polícia hľadá ďalšie stopy v nezvyčajnom dokumente, ktorý na základe historických i fantastických príhod rozpráva o veľmi zvláštnom vzťahu dvoch ľudí. Prípadné informácie o mieste pobytu Mianovej, bývalej kuchárky, šoférky turistického autobusu, súkromnej detektívky v západnej časti štátu New York a absolventky University of East Anglia v Anglicku oznámte policajnému oddeleniu v Buffale, telefónne číslo (716) 694 600.

The Scarlet Alchemist
You cannot create good without also creating evil.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her.
A dark YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Infinity Alchemist
Ash Woods isn’t supposed to perform alchemy – he’ll be arrested if anyone ever finds out. But when he’s caught by the condescending Ramsay Thorne, instead of handing him over to the reds, Ramsay surprises Ash by making him an offer: Ramsay will keep Ash’s secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source, a sacred text that gives its reader extraordinary power.
As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists – Ash’s estranged father included. Ash’s journey takes him through the cities and wilds across New Anglia, forcing him to discover his own definition of true power and how far he and other alchemists will go to seize it.
Fans of Cemetery Boys and Iron Widow will love this LGBTQ+ romantasy reminiscent of A Deadly Education meets Six of Crows.
