Lacná kniha Malá cesta po Francii (-90%)
Sladká Francie přinese obdivovatelům ovoce výlučně jako celek, a proto není moudré omezovat její krásy na pozlátko předváděné v Paříži. Svérázné kouty této různorodé země uhranuly i vyznavači pitoreskna Henrymu Jamesovi, a tak se jimi jako nejslavnější americký reprezentant zjemnělé tradice konce devatenáctého století kochá s týmž zaujetím, jaké ve svých románech věnoval třeba ladným liniím kávového šálku. Mladík z dobré newyorské rodiny, pro nějž byla francouzština vstupenkou do Starého světa, přitom prokáže sympatie k joie de vivre francouzského Jihu, elegantní styl a bystrozrak znalce umění. Ale ať už se toulavý spisovatel zabývá nabubřelostí některých zámků na Loiře, rozebírá rekonstrukci středověké pevnosti v Carcassonne či linie nejznámějších katedrál, ať obhlíží antické památky v Provenci nebo jen na pláži v Normandii glosuje rovnostářské poměry třetí francouzské republiky, vysvítá zpod tohoto něžného pošklebování cosi vážného, co předčí i zápisky jeho předchůdce Stendhala. James si cení neopakovatelného kouzla, jímž hostitelská země dýchá a jež je třeba uchovat, protože na něj poutník jinde na světě nenarazí. S odstupem jednoho a čtvrt století vypovídají autorovy črty mimo jiné o pravém smyslu moderního „bytí na cestě“, které se pod tlakem rychlosti a banalit změnilo v uniformní turistickou zábavu pro masy.

The Great Builders
The Great Builders surveys the careers of forty great architects whose engineering skills were crucial to their success. Sixteen nationalities and seven centuries of architectural innovation make for a survey of spectacular scope and depth: from churches and fortresses to bridges and high-tech skyscrapers, it includes masterpieces from all over the world and covers 700 years of architectural history.
Here is Brunelleschi, who built the 'unbuildable' dome of Florence Cathedral; Sinan, a Christian engineer who became chief architect to the Ottoman court; Joseph Paxton, scribbling down a design for the Crystal Palace, London, on a piece of blotting paper; and James Bogardus, an early American evangelist of the opportunities offered by cast-iron architecture.
Rapid advances in industrial production inspired experiments with new materials and techniques, gradually allowing a whole new architecture to emerge: reinforced concrete, plate glass and steel were central to the creations of Le Corbusier, Auguste Perret and Mies van der Rohe, for instance; and, in the High-Tech architecture of the present day - represented by Norman Foster, Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava, among others - computer-aided design has seemingly tested the boundaries of the possible.

World Without End
The saga that has enthralled the millions of readers of The Pillars of the Earth continues with World Without End.
On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed.
As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day.
Ken Follett's masterful epic The Pillars of the Earth enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. World Without End takes readers back to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change.
World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.

Katedrály
Baziliky a katedrály patria k najimpozantnejším architektonickým výtvorom kresťanského staviteľstva. Predstavujú nevšedné kamenné svedectvo o viac ako pätnástich storočiach vývoja kresťanskej viery a patria medzi hmatateľné symboly západnej civilizácie.

Publikácia čitateľom približuje, ako sa v rôznych historických obdobiach a v rozličných zemepisných a kultúrnych oblastiach vyvíjali rozmanité typy bazilík a katedrál.

Věk katedrál Umění a společnost 980-1420
Základní práce francouzského medievalisty, autora i u nás známé vynikající knihy Neděle u Bouvines, přináší jedinečný a u nás zcela netradiční pohled na dějiny středověkého umění. Katedrála jako sociální prostor, v němž se v nejrozvinutější podobě uplatnily dobové představy o uspořádání středověkého světa i vesmíru, Dubymu posloužila jako středobod uvažování o době mezí 8. až 14. stoletím, především v prostředí západní Evropy. Na příkladě proměn umělecké výzdoby katedrál a vývoje jejich architektonického ztvárnění autor mistrným způsobem zachycuje vztah člověka k Bohu, ke smrti a k posmrtnému životu, probuzení se lidské individuality a vedle toho i syrovost středověkého světa v jeho každodenním snažení a strádání

The Lion Above the Door
From Onjali Q. Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes an incredible story about missing histories and the concept of a universal family, told with humour and heart.
Leo and his best friend Sangeeta are the odd ones out in their school. But as Leo's dad is always telling him, it's because they're special. Only thing is, if they're so special, how come they never see anyone who looks like them in their school history books?
Then, on a class trip to a nearby cathedral, Leo's attention is drawn to a large marble slab high above the doors of the hall. Right there, bang in the middle of a list of war heroes, Leo finds himself staring at something incredible: his own name.
Desperate to know who this other Leo was, the two friends embark on a search. And together, they begin to uncover missing stories from the past, ones which they are determined to put back into their rightful place in the pages of history.
Touching on themes of historical racism, The Lion Above the Door shines a light on the stories our history books have yet to contain and the power of friendships that can last through generations.
The first edition of this book also contains a special collection of historical photos and stories of real life forgotten heroes from World War Two.
World without End
Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year-World Without End In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmed-it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you" (Chicago Tribune)-and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas-about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race-the Black Death. Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft."

Notre-Dame - The Soul of France
The profound emotion felt around the world upon seeing images of Notre-Dame in flames opens up a series of questions: Why was everyone so deeply moved? Why does Notre-Dame so clearly crystallise what our civilisation is about? What makes 'Our Lady of Paris' the soul of a nation and a symbol of human achievement? What is it that speaks so directly to us today?
In answer, Agnes Poirier turns to the defining moments in Notre-Dame's history. Beginning with the laying of the corner stone in 1163, she recounts the conversion of Henri IV to Catholicism, the coronation of Napoleon, Victor Hugo's nineteenth-century campaign to preserve the cathedral, Baron Haussmann's clearing of the streets in front of it, the Liberation in 1944, the 1950s film of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, starring Gina Lollobrigida and Anthony Quinn, and the state funeral of Charles de Gaulle, before returning to the present.
The conflict over Notre-Dame's reconstruction promises to be fierce. Nothing short of a cultural war is already brewing between the wise and the daring, the sincere and the opportunist, historians and militants, the devout and secularists. It is here that Poirier reveals the deep malaise - gilet jaunes and all - at the heart of the France.
