Dojímavý príbeh o zrade, láske a odvahe v najtragickejších časoch v dejinách
Elisabetta, Marco a Sandro vyrastajú od detstva ako najlepší kamaráti. Elisabetta, krásne temperamentné dievča, sníva o tom, že sa stane spisovateľkou. Odvážny športovo založený Marco je syn profesionálneho cyklistu. Matematický génius Sandro zas pochádza z uznávanej židovskej rodiny. Detské priateľstvo postupne prerastie v lásku, Marco aj Sandro súperia o Elisabettino srdce. Jeseň 1937 im však vnesie do života nečakaný zvrat – Mussolini si upevní moc, spojí talianskych fašistov s Hitlerovými nacistami a zmení mnohé zákony, ktorými sa riadi život v krajine. Všetko, čo je trojici priateľov drahé – ich rodiny a vzájomné puto –, je vystavené nepredstaviteľnej skúške.
Keď antisemitizmus zapustí v Taliansku korene a vypukne druhá svetová vojna, trojica mladých ľudí si uvedomí, že Mussolini bol len začiatok. Do Ríma vtrhnú nacisti a páchajú čoraz horšie zverstvá voči Židom. Tie napokon vyvrcholia strašnou zradou. Na pozadí týchto udalostí sa rozhoduje o osude Elisabetty, Marca, Sandra a ich rodín.

A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow 7
Sometimes you find what you yearn for…
When her dad gets a job overseas, Konatsu Amano has to leave the Tokyo life she’s always known and relocate to a small seaside town to stay with her aunt. The move also means starting a new school surrounded by complete strangers, and it’s a lot to handle for a girl who has trouble with change. But on her first day in her new town, Konatsu is instantly drawn to Koyuki, an older girl who is the sole member of the Aquarium Club. Konatsu’s introverted tendencies are hard for her to overcome, but maybe she’s found something worth coming out of her shell for?
Konatsu senses that she and Koyuki, the only two members of the Aquarium Club, are connected by loneliness, and she’s afraid that her bond with Koyuki is weakening as it gradually changes. When Konatsu’s feelings finally erupt, Koyuki resolves to face her head-on, leading to a clash of feelings before the girls can confirm how important they are to each other.

Stratení nájdení
„Vstávaj, génius.“
Tak sa začína triler o šialenom pomstychtivom čitateľovi. Génius je John Rothstein, kultový autor, ktorý vytvoril ešte kultovejšiu postavu – Jimmyho Golda –, no už desaťročia nevydal jedinú knihu. Morris Bellamy zúri, lebo rebel Jimmy Gold, Bellamyho literárny idol, sa v poslednom vydanom románe zapredal reklamnému biznisu. Preto Morris zabije Johna Rothsteina, ulúpi mu zo sejfu hotovosť, ale najmä získa najvzácnejší poklad, zápisníky, v ktorých je najmenej jeden ďalší, nevydaný román o Goldovi.
Morris korisť ukryje – a potom ho zavrú za celkom iný zločin.
Čas plynie a poklad objaví chlapec menom Pete Saubers, rovnako vášnivý mladý čitateľ. A teraz je Pete na úteku pred čoraz nebezpečnejším šialencom Morrisom, ktorého po tridsiatich piatich rokoch prepustili.
Trojica známa z trileru Pán Mercedes, bývalý policajt Bill Hodges, neurotická Holly Gibneyová a šikovný mladík Jerome Robinson, robí všetko pre to, aby Petovi pomohla. Ale postačí to?

Tropic of Capricorn
A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer - new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin. A story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything. "Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done." (Lawrence Durrell). "The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past." (George Orwell). "The greatest American writer." (Bob Dylan). Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer (1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.
Tropic of Cancer
Shocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller's first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous and influential books of the twentieth century - new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin Tropic of Cancer redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France and smuggled into other countries. When it was first published in the US in 1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring and uncompromising, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality. "At last an unprintable book that is fit to read." (Ezra Pound). "A momentous event in the history of modern writing." (Samuel Beckett). "The book that forever changed the way American literature would be written." (Erica Jong).
Mólo našich životov
„Život je prechádzka po móle. Niektoré z nich sú šmykľavé, po iných sa kráča ľahšie. No predsa... Vždy po nich musíme prejsť a vrátiť sa. Po móle našich životov.“
Brad Basel, Jennifer Louterová a Emma Reitersová... Trojica ľudí, ktorí sa kvôli šialenému pracovnému tempu stratili na tej najvzácnejšej ceste, ktorú k dispozícii majú – vo vlastnom živote. Zabúdajú na to, kým sú a čo ich trápi, dovolili, aby im vonkajšie okolnosti zastreli triezvy úsudok, a ich rebríček hodnôt sa kompletne celý rozhádzal.
Sú peniaze a úspech skutočne také dôležité? Ako má vyzerať správne fungujúci vzťah? Je možné zadefinovať krásu? Má zmysel investovať energiu do niečoho, čo nám ju neustále len odoberá? Prečo dovolíme minulosti, aby nám výrazne zasahovala do prítomných okamihov? Dokážeme sa zbaviť svojich vnútorných démonov, ktoré nás dlhé roky strašia? Chce to silu či sebazaprenie alebo len musíme okúsiť tvrdý pád, aby sme zistili, že sa naše kroky uberajú nesprávnym smerom?
Autor v románe Mólo našich životov poukazuje na problematiku, ktorá v dnešnej uponáhľanej dobe vôbec nie je zriedkavá. S citom a ľahkosťou pomocou svojich literárnych charakterov ukazuje čitateľom, že každý problém má riešenie – musíme si len pár vecí uvedomiť, prestať lipnúť na neexistujúcich ideáloch a v neposlednom rade – nájsť silu, ktorá sa skrýva v našom vnútri. Pretože ten, kto má čisté úmysly, jej má dostatok.

Champagne Supernovy
Na sklonku 90. rokov tri postavy navždy zmenili tvár módy a kultúry: Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen a Kate Mossová. Všetci traja mali úžasný talent a každý mal nejakú temnú stránku, ktorá ho takmer zničila. Spolu predstavovali zlomový moment v móde a pop kultúre, ktorý skoncoval so všetkým, čo bolo pred tým, a zmenil všetko, čo nasledovalo. Táto trojica sa objavila presne vo chvíli, keď dlhonohé supermodelky ustúpili heroínovej elegancii a keď grunge vystriedal hair metal. V deväťdesiatych rokoch sa stala hnacou silou kultúry móda a
títo traja obrazoborci spolu s ďalšími, ktorí vstúpili do ich obežnej dráhy, vytvorili vizionársku kombináciu umenia, dekadencie a geniality, ktorá predstavuje nielen úplný obrat v móde, ale aj veľký posun v štýle, obchodovaní a kultúre. Bolo to desaťročie, keď sa alternatíva stala stredným prúdom - a hlavný prúd sa stal multimiliardovým biznisom. Vo viac ako stovke rozhovorov skúma Maureen Callahanová toto kľúčové obdobie prostredníctvom života troch ľudí, ktorí sa stali jednak ikonami, no zároveň varovnými príbehmi svojej éry

Lacná kniha The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the Tropical Gothic (-70%)
Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. With the post-colonial sensibilities of Junot Diaz, Teju Cole, and Jhumpa Lahiri and an ironic perspective of colonial history resonant with Marques and Llosa, Joaquin is a long-neglected writer ready to join the ranks of the world classics. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendour and excess. This collection features his best-known story, 'The Woman Who Had Two Navels,' centred on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologised story 'May Day Eve,' and a canonical play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino.
