Tiger Woods
Based on three years of extensive research and reporting, two of today's most acclaimed investigative journalists, Jeff Benedict of Sports Illustrated and eleven-time Emmy Award winner Armen Keteyian, deliver the first major biography of Tiger Woods - sweeping in scope and packed with groundbreaking, behind-the-scenes details of the Shakespearean rise and epic fall of a global icon.
In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of fourteen major golf championships and seventy-nine PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T and Gatorade.
But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years - one that exploded in the aftermath of a late-night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional life off a cliff. In Tiger Woods, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods?
Drawing on more than four hundred interviews with people from every corner of Woods's life - friends, family members, teachers, romantic partners, swing coaches, business associates, Tour pros and members of Woods's inner circle - Benedict and Keteyian construct a captivating psychological profile of an African-American child programmed by an attention-grabbing father and the original Tiger Mom to be the 'chosen one', to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well. But at what cost?
Benedict and Keteyian provide the startling answers in a biography destined to make headlines and linger in the minds of readers for years to come.

Milarepa - Život a osvícení
Velký jogín a básník Milarepa (1040–1123) je jedním z nejslavnějších učitelů tibetského buddhismu. Je zároveň jedním z otců zakladatelů tibetské buddhistické tradice Kagjü. Byl však také velmi důležitou postavou pro všechny tibetské linie a školy.
V dětství zažil strádání a bídu poté, co jej, jeho matku a sestru připravili strýc a teta o veškeré dědictví. Milarepa byl příliš mladý na to, aby si zjednal spravedlnost mečem, a proto se na žádost matky naučil černé magii, kterou usmrtil 35 lidí. Když pochopil, že dojmy, které těmito činy nahromadil, musí v jeho mysli dozrát jako hluboké utrpení, objevila se v něm hluboká touha vydat se cestou duchovního rozvoje.
Jeho vytrvalost, neústupnost a oddanost svému učiteli Marpovi jsou dodnes příkladem pro všechny praktikující Diamantové cesty (tib. dordže thegpa, skt. vadžrajána). Po dosažení osvícení učil formou unikátních písní plných hloubky, humoru a přírodních krás. Celý svůj život shrnul do jedné věty: „Mým jediným náboženstvím je žít a zemřít bez lítosti.“ Tento nadčasový a zároveň veskrze moderní přístup přináší inspiraci buddhistům i nebuddhistům již tisíc let.
Milarepův životopis sestavil v 15. století Cang Ňön Héruka, šílený jogín z Cangu, z jehož pera pochází také životopis Marpy, Milarepova učitele.

But this holiday things are different - the childhood games that once filled their days have lost their appeal to everyone except Millie. It's not until the final night that the others agree to a game of hide and seek. But in the time it takes Millie to count to twenty, Kat vanishes.
One year on, and struggling to come to terms with the events of last summer, Millie persuades the others to return to Creek House. It's meant to give them closure, but it could be a chance to find out what happened. After all, people don't just disappear, do they?
Biele. Ľadové ostrovy Špicbergy
Biela je farbou tohto kraja. Nemenná, neustála biela. Obloha, zem i voda sú biele. Biely je aj dych, ktorý vám tu stúpa od úst. Špicbergy, najsevernejšie ľudské sídlo na svete, ktoré z človeka dokáže vydestilovať jeho najhlbšiu podstatu.
Predstavte si dlhý, pol roka trvajúci deň. Neustále svetlo. Slnko sa sotva dotkne horizontu, a hneď sa zase ako lopta odrazí na nebo. Alebo presný opak. Nekonečnú polárnu noc. Tma pri rannej káve je rovnaká ako pri večeri. Ako sa tu dá žiť? O tom nám porozpráva poľská spisovateľka Ilona Wiśniewska vo svojej mrazivej reportážnej knihe Biele s podtitulom Ľadové ostrovy Špicbergy.
Ľudia na Špicbergoch sú rovnakí, ako všade inde. No predsa máme pocit, ako keby sme sa ocitli na inej planéte. Na tomto mieste žijú ľudia pochádzajúci z takmer päťdesiatich krajín celého sveta. Prišli sem predovšetkým za prácou - do kraja bez kompromisov a bez zľutovania, kde sú si pred mrazmi všetci rovní. Wiśniewska žije s nimi a s radosťou objaviteľky i dokonalou znalosťou miestnych reálií podáva príbehy pozoruhodných miest nórskych Špicbergov. Uhoľné bane. Opustené osady. Hotely. Medzinárodná banka semien.
Reportážna knižka Biele je výnimočnou kronikou tohto odľahlého miesta i jeho obyvateľov.
Vychádza v edícii Prekliati reportéri v preklade Slavomíra Bachuru.

Moon Tiger
Penelope Lively's Booker Prize winning classic, Moon Tiger is a haunting story of loss and desire, published here as a Penguin Essential for the first time. Claudia Hampton - beautiful, famous, independent, dying. But she remains defiant to the last, telling her nurses that she will write a 'history of the world...and in the process, my own'. And it is her story from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second and beyond. But Claudia's life is entwined with others and she must allow those who knew her, loved her, the chance to speak, to put across their point of view. There is Gordon, brother and adversary; Jasper, her untrustworthy lover and father of Lisa, her cool conventional daughter; and then there is Tom, her one great love, found and lost in wartime Egypt. "Leaves its traces in the air long after you've put it away." (Anne Tyler). "A complex tapestry of great subtlety. Lively writes so well, savouring the words as she goes." (Daily Telegraph). "Very clever: evocative, thought-provoking and hangs on the mind long after it is finished." (Literary Review).

He works in a teashop, crushing coal and wiping tables, but nurses a dream of escape. When he learns that a rich village landlord needs a chauffeur, he takes his opportunity, and is soon on his way to Delhi at the wheel of a Honda. Amid today's India's cockroaches and call-centres, its 36,000,004 gods, slums, shopping malls, and crippling traffic jams, Balram learns of a new morality at the heart of a new India. Driven by desire to better himself, he comes to see how the Tiger might escape his cage ... through murder.
The White Tiger
WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2008Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master. The White Tiger presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, The White Tiger is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.
