You Are Beautiful and You Are Alone
The real story of Nico is one of determination, self-destruction and belief in one's artistic vision, at any cost . . .
You Are Beautiful and You Are Alone is an empowering reappraisal of an underappreciated icon. Drawing upon new interviews and rare archival material Bickerdike defies the sexist casting of Nico's life as the tragedy of a beautiful woman losing her youth and fame, and instead cements her legacy as one of the most vital artists of her generation.
Too Much and Never Enough
In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald's only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world's health, economic security and social fabric.
Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents' large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.
A first-hand witness, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humour to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald's place in the family spotlight and Ivana's penchant for regifting to her grandmother's frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump's favourite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer's.
Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists and journalists have sought to explain Donald Trump's lethal flaws. Mary Trump has the education, insight and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider's perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world's most powerful and dysfunctional families.

Miluj bližního svého - Love and War
Novela indického autora Sumita Mullicka, která vychází ve dvojjazyčném česko-anglickém vydání, je prvním vykročením tohoto zajímavého spisovatele mezi české čtenáře. Aby mohl být člověk píšícím rebelem, musí mít fantazii. Musí být rebelem s fantazií. Sumit Mullick je takovouto osobností. Zavádí nás do světa fantazie se zcela reálnými problémy, které však zobrazuje tak, že nás nutí současně se smát i bát.Novela Miluj bližního svého hovoří jakoby Čechům ze srdce. Čechům, z nichž většina ke svému životu nepotřebuje církev ani omezující zákony, ale o to víc si cení obyčejné lidské svobody a světských radostí. Kdyby ji napsal český autor, pobavili bychom se, ale fakt, že vzešla z pera indického spisovatele, který hovoří "naší řečí", jí dává neobvykle pikantní příchuť. Dostává se k nám touto formou poselství, nad nímž máme tendenci mávnout rukou, ale jež nás nutí k zamyšlení díky situacím vyhroceným ad absurdum, neumožňuje nám uniknout, buší nás do očí a křičí na nás ze stránek. Při čtení se budete velmi dobře bavit.Novela je původně součástí širšího souboru povídek s (do češtiny nepřeložitelným) názvem "Fairyish Tales", které jsou jakýmisi příběhy neskutečného skutečna. Titul Miluj bližního svého je první vlaštovkou z tohoto cyklu.Sumit Mullick o sobě: "Žiji v Indii, kde pracuji a píšu. Pocházím z Kalkaty, kde jsem strávil svá formující léta. Cítím, že Indie je pro psaní fantastickým místem. Indie, která je jak moderní, tak starodávná, a často lavíruje mezi těmi dvěma. To se pak projevuje v některých velmi legračních sociálních normách a zmatené definici morálky. Jako spisovatel věřím, že je mou zásadní povinností toto zmatení snižovat a napomáhat pochopení. Pochopení s sebou obvykle přináší pokrok a pokrok většinou přináší spokojenost."

The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
So, I've written a book.
Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!'), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.
This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

Ruin and Rising - Pusztulás és felemelkedés (Grisha trilógia 3.)
Katona. Idéző. Szent.
Az ország sora egy megtört idézőn, egy kegyvesztett nyomkeresőn és egy egykori nagy mágikus sereg szétvert maradványain múlik.
Az Éjúr árnytrónján ülve uralkodik, míg a meggyengült és sebesült Alina Sztarkov igyekszik felépülni, az őt szentként imádó Apparátus kétes védelme alatt. Minden reményét egy rég eltűnt ősi lény mágiájába veti, és abba az esélybe, hogy egy bizonyos törvényen kívüli herceg még életben van.
Ahogy a szövetségesei és az ellenségei a háborúba sodródnak, egyedül Alina áll az ország és világ örök rabságával fenyegető, áradó sötétség között. Hogy megnyerje ezt a harcot, meg kell szereznie egy legendás lény hatalmát - ám a tűzmadár utáni hajsza váratlan fordulatot tartogat.
Kövesd végig sorsa minden fordulatát!
