A kezdő
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) egy kicsit "kilóg" a huszadik század amerikai irodalmából. Versei alapján a beatköltők közé sorolták, de ő soha nem volt harcias. Önéletrajzi ihletésű regényeiben, amelyeknek főszereplője alteregója, Henry Chinaski, nagyrészt az amerikai társadalom lecsúszott figuráiról írt, nyersen, őszintén, húsba vágó humorral és bölcsességgel. Alkoholista, napról napra élő, kompromisszumokat nem ismerő életmódja miatt sokan rajongtak - és rajonganak - érte, de ő köszönte, nem kért ebből, sőt ha lehetett, kerülte a rajongóit (kivéve, ha azok nők voltak), az embereket és főleg az írókat. Charles Bukowskinak mára világszerte kultusza lett, beleértve Magyarországot is. És bár - első ránézésre - felháborító(nak tűnő) életmódja miatt sokan viszolyogtak - és viszolyognak - tőle, hogyan is ne lenne kultusza egy olyan embernek, akinek még a sírján is ez áll: "Don't try", azaz: ne próbáld, csináld.
"Próbáltam rábeszélni Jimmyt, hogy olyan helyre menjünk a parton, ahol nincs túl sok ember. Az ingem nélkül elég hülyén éreztem magam. Irigyeltem azokat, akik ott fürödtek, és semmi bajuk sem volt. Utáltam az összes rohadt köcsögöt, aki napozott, úszott, aludt, beszélgetett vagy labdázott. Utáltam a hátukat, az arcukat, a könyöküket, a szemüket, a köldöküket és a fürdőruhájukat.
A víz tele volt emberekkel. Miért is olyan jó ez a tengerpartozás? Senkinek sincs jobb dolga ennél?
- Gondolj bele, egy csomó nő megy a vízbe, és belepisálnak.
- Igen, te meg megiszod.
Tudtam, hogy én soha nem fogok tudni emberek között normálisan élni. Talán a legjobb lesz, ha szerzetesnek megyek. Majd úgy teszek, mintha hinnék Istenben, eléldegélek egy kis hálófülkében, orgonán játszom, és egyfolytában misebort vedelek. Hónapokig is a szobámban maradhatok meditálni, közben senkinek se kell a fejét néznem, és csak beküldik nekem a bort. A gond csak az volt, hogy a szerzetesruha tiszta gyapjú. Ami még rosszabb, mint a katonai kiképző egyenruha. Azt képtelen lennék hordani. Valami mást kell kitalálnom."

Andrea Pirlo
Világklasszis. Elképesztően sikeres futballista. Minden pozitív jelzőt ezerszer elmondtak és leírtak már Andrea Pirlóval, a Juventus és az olasz válogatott középpályásával, a Milan - minden fontos trófeát többször is megnyert a piros-feketékkel - és az Inter korábbi játékosával kapcsolatban. Zseniális irányítójátéka mellett a pályán és azon kívül is fantasztikus logika jellemzi őt. A kreativitás és a pazar helyzetfelismerés egyaránt testet ölt benne, tökéletes összhangot teremtve fej és láb között.
A Gondolkodom, tehát játszom olvasása közben meggyőződhet arról, mennyire hatékony "gépezet" Andrea Pirlo. A Juventus játékmestere amellett, hogy tökéletesen kezeli a labdát, gondolkodásban mindig a többiek előtt jár és véleményét sem fél megosztani másokkal, minden köntörfalazás és mellébeszélés nélkül.
Ebben a könyvben néhány kényes téma is szóba kerül: Pirlo kíméletlenül pálcát tör a fogadási csalásokban érintett játékosok felett, drasztikus lépéseket sürget a stadionokban tapasztalható erőszakkal és a színes bőrű játékosokat érő rasszista megnyilvánulásokkal szemben. Nyíltan bírálja azokat a klubvezetőket, akik megpróbáltak ártani neki, és mesél azokról a külföldi sztárcsapatokról (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea), amelyek megpróbálták megszerezni őt, de nem jártak sikerrel. Pirlo jó néhány szórakoztató történetet is megoszt az olvasókkal az öltözőben zajló ugratásokról. A Milannál töltött évek során Rino Gattuso volt az első számú célpontja, de a középpályás visszavonulása
után új áldozatokat talált a Juventusban és a válogatottban is.
Andrea Pirlo Bresciában született 1979. május 19-én. Minden idők egyik legjobb labdarúgója. Megfordult a Brescia, a Reggina, az Internazionale, a Milan és a Juventus csapatában, hosszú évek óta alapembernek számít az olasz válogatottban, amellyel 2006-ban, Németországban világbajnokságot nyert. 2000-ben U21-es Európa-bajnok lett, a 2004-es athéni olimpián bronzérmet szerzett. Klubcsapataival minden fontos trófeát megnyert, a Bajnokok Ligája trófeáját kétszer is a magasba emelhette.
Hihetetlenül sikeres pályafutása során végig megmaradt annak a szerény, hallgatag embernek, aki karrierje elején volt.
A(z) Andrea Pirlo (Könyv) szerzője Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Alciato.

Footprints On Zero Line: Writings On The Partition
The Partition of 1947 has influenced the works of an entire generation of writers, and continues to do so. Gulzar witnessed the horrors of Partition first-hand and it is a theme that he has gone back to again and again in his writings. Footprints on Zero Line brings together a collection of his finest writings - fiction, non-fiction and poems - on the subject. What sets this collection apart from other writings on Partition is that Gulzar's unerring eye does not stop at the events of 1947 but looks at how it continues to affect our lives to this day. Wonderfully rendered in English by well-known author and translator Rakhshanda Jalil, this collection marks seventy years of India's Independence. Footprints on Zero Line is not only a brilliant collection on a cataclysmic event in the history of our nation by one of our finest contemporary writers, it is also a timely reminder that those who forget the errors of the past are doomed to repeat them.

The Future is History
In The Future is History Masha Gessen follows the lives of four Russians, born as the Soviet Union crumbled, at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children or grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own - as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths not only against the machinations of the regime that would seek to crush them all (censorship, intimidation, violence) but also against the war it waged on understanding itself, ensuring the unobstructed emergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. The Future is History is a powerful and urgent cautionary tale by contemporary Russia's most fearless inquisitor.

The Sea Journal - Seafarers' Sketchbooks
The sea has been an endless source of fascination, at once both alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. The Sea Journal contains first-hand records by a great range of travellers of their encounters with strange creatures and new lands, full of dangers and delights, pleasures and perils.
In this remarkable gathering of private journals, log books, letters and diaries, we follow the voyages of intrepid sailors, from the frozen polar wastes to South Seas paradise islands, as they set down their immediate impressions of all they saw. They capture their experiences while at sea, giving us a precious view of the oceans and the creatures that live in them as they were when they were scarcely known and right up to the present day. In a series of biographical portraits, we meet officers and ordinary sailors, cooks and whalers, surgeons and artists, explorers and adventurers. A handful of contemporary mariners provide their thoughts on how art remains integral to their voyaging lives.
Often still bearing the traces of their nautical past, the intriguing and enchanting sketches and drawings in this book brilliantly capture the spirit of the oceans and the magic of the sea.

Lacná kniha Tu Rostro Manana II: Baile Y Sueno (-90%)
Los dos primeros volúmenes de la trilogía considerada como obra decisiva en la trayectoria de Javier Marías. Jacques Deza ?protagonista también de Todas las almas? viaja a Inglaterra, para poner distancia con su esposa, e inicia así una extrana etapa de su vida: es reclutado como agente de un servicio secreto heredero del MI6 que, con el final de la Guerra Fría, pareciera servir a poderes inclasificables. La capacidad especial de Deza como «intérprete de vidas» y su agudeza para ver en el rostro presente el rostro futuro ?y por tanto saber quién traicionará o quien será leal? lo llevan a una fascinante reflexión sobre el hombre y su tiempo; sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro; sobre la traición, la cobardía y sobre lo que se dice y se calla.

Lacná kniha Libro de Suenos
Si en «El libro de los seres imaginarios» (BA 0022) Jorge Luis Borges puso su vasta cultura y asombrosa erudición al servicio de la elaboración de una especie de bestiario moderno, la recopilación de sue?os y pesadillas que da cuerpo a esta obra es producto de una recurrente inquietud -atestiguada a lo largo de su vida por numerosos relatos, ensayos y conferencias- por ese ámbito misterioso en el que el alma humana «es a la vez el teatro, los actores y el auditorio». «Este LIBRO DE SUE?OS que los lectores volverán a so?ar abarca sue?os de la noche -los que yo firmo, por ejemplo-, sue?os del día, que son un ejercicio voluntario de nuestra mente, y otros de raigambre perdida: digamos, el Sue?o anglosajón de la Cruz».

Frank Stella
A timely monograph, covering the landmark work and latest career developments of one of today's greatest living artists."Stella now occupies a position similar to that of Kandinsky late in his career. He changed the history of art with his early work, but kept on moving." -The New York TimesInitially influenced by the work of the abstract expressionists, Frank Stella subsequently rejected the movement in favour of more radical forms. In 1960 Stella presented his first series of aluminium paintings at Leo Castelli, causing the first upset in a long history of experiments that saw him tackling minimalism, post-painterly abstraction, and public art. This book examines Stella's life and career in the context of the contemporary art world, featuring works from his recent blockbuster museum exhibitions as well as landmark works from throughout his career.

Paris: Fashion Flair
The glamour and excitement of the Parisian fashion scene explodes onto the page in these bold portraits and drawings of Paris by rising star and couture insider Marc-Antoine Coulon. With an unwavering hand and a riot of color, Marc-Antoine Coulon captures Paris fashion on and off the runway. His pared-down, ultra-glamorous sketches--portraits of designers, screen stars, and his favorite Parisian haunts from day to night--are rendered here with incisive and unique artistry. Coulon's watercolors, collages, and sketches, paired with handwritten observations and pithy quotations, transcend the page. The artist's distinctive style--inspired by the great masters René Gruau and Erté--is both timeless and iconic, with a decidedly contemporary edge that is at once elegant, sexy, vibrant, and witty. Fashion icon Ines de la Fressange acknowledges his artistic courage: with a bold, saturated background, a confident brushstroke, or the force of negative space, his drawings sublimate his subjects--whether a dress, a monument, or a celebrity. As fashion illustration enjoys a renaissance in magazines and couture campaigns, Coulon's drawings have been commissioned by everyone from Vogue to Dior to private collectors. They offer readers a joyful and breathless tour of everything fashionable in Paris.
