Důvěrná setkání
Jde o dokonale vytvořený a udržovaný erotický ráj s velmi příhodným názvem Oáza, kde nic není zakázáno a rozkoš je prioritou číslo jedna. Spolu s hvězdami showbyznysu a pohádkově bohatými návštěvníky tady prožívají nezapomenutelný týden i Coco, Sissy a Ophelia - tři ženy, jež se sem jaksi `nehodí` a zdánlivě spolu nemají nic společného. Spojuje je jediné: všechny vyhrály pobyt v rámci blíže neurčené soutěže, ale účasti v ní si žádná z nich není vědoma. Není to podivné? Staly se součástí promyšleného plánu hlavní hrdinky románu, Abby Tylerové, charismatické ženy se záhadnou minulostí, která je majitelkou těchto svérázných lázní. Abby se už přes třicet let zoufale snaží najít své jediné dítě, které jí bylo ukradeno při porodu, aniž měla možnost ho spatřit. Chce-li se s ním shledat a utišit dlouholetý žal, musí se postavit tváří v tvář minulosti, na niž by nejraději zapomněla. Události v Oáze naberou rychlý spád s příchodem písečné bouře. S nenadálou situací se musí vyrovnat i najatý vrah

Lacná kniha Plamenonosič (-70%)
Od prvního dne, kdy mi byl Bebbanburg zrádně ukraden, jsem snil o tom, že ho znovu získám. Mí předci vybudovali mocnou pevnost na skále nad mořem. Bebbanburg je nedobytný a patří mně.
V Británii trvá nejistý mír. Vikinský vládce Northumbrie Sigtryggr a saská královna Mercie Athelflaed dodržují sjednané příměří, a tak největší saský válečník Uhtred z Bebbanburgu má konečně šanci pokusit se dobýt zpět svou domovskou pevnost, kterou mu před mnoha a mnoha lety ukradl jeho proradný strýc a v níž nyní sídlí jeho bratranec.
Osud je však neúprosný a nepřátelé, kteří se proti Uhtredovi spikli, spolu s přísahou věrnosti Athelflaed ho od jeho snu vrátit se do Bebbanburgu jako jeho pán odvádějí. Do boje o britská království vstupují nové síly: slavný král Alby Konstantin Skotský se snaží využít příležitosti a zabrat území severně od velké římské zdi. A stejně tak chce nejisté situace využít nejmocnější západosaský ealdorman Athelhelm k tomu, aby posílil nárok svého vnuka na wessexský trůn.
Uhtred je však rozhodnut, že žádní nepřátelé, noví ani staří, kteří se proti němu spojili, ho nemohou od jeho snu odvrátit. Je pán z Bebbanburgu, ale musí vynaložit veškeré zkušenosti a bojové umění, aby svůj sen uskutečnil a znovu získal to, co mu dědickým právem patří.

Dva kostely
Na počátku se zdá, že v Rocca di Sasso - smyšlené horské vesnici podobné mnoha jiným alpským vsím, nad níž se tyčí vysoká majestátní hora opředená spoustou legend - se čas jako by zastavil, "minulost tu nikdy doopravdy nepomine a přítomnost není nikdy doopravdy přítomná". Ale nic netrvá věčně. Do zdejšího tvrdého, ale poklidného života těžce zasáhne první světová válka, kterou vedou lidé z údolí, kde "řeky tečou na sever a na východ, proti těm, kde řeky tečou na jih". Sledujeme osudy a vývoj několika postav, hlavních hrdinů příběhu, odvedených všeobecnou mobilizací na frontu. Patří mezi ně někdejší učitel Luigi Prandini, kdysi socialista, pak přívrženec vstupu Itálie do války a posléze fašistický hodnostář; a jeho souputník Ansimino, muž s "chytrostí v rukách", řidič autobusu a šikovný kovář a automechanik, který naopak za druhé války pomáhá partyzánům, k nimž se přidal jeho syn. Kolem nich spřádá autor množství lidských osudů, dramat, tragédií i radostí, v jakési kronice doby, jež je fragmentem velkých dějin.
Sebastiano Vassalli v příběhu dvou kostelů, z nichž jeden postavili mobilizovaní muži před odchodem do války a druhý přeživší veteráni, předkládá "v kostce" italské dějiny dvacátého století s přesahem do dnešních dnů. Činí tak s nadhledem, ironií a pro autora typickým smyslem pro zkratku, ale i s hlubokým lidským pochopením.

Decades
Cameron Silver runs the most glamorous boutique in LA, where Hollywood royalty go to find vintage couture that is totally unique and utterly timeless. He is an expert at taking the finest clothing from the past and giving it a second life - and this is what Decades is all about. You won't find any frumpiness in this story of twentieth century style and innovation. Instead, prepare to have your fashion stereotypes turned upside-down. Because the Edwardians weren't all buttoned up, the ubiquitous Audrey Hepburn wasn't the only fashion icon of the fifties, and yes, it was actually possible to dress with elegance in the eighties. The book is a showcase of the past hundred years of fashion, decade by decade. Cameron's witty commentary of twentieth century dressing is both perceptive and funny. Each chapter opens with a pair of women who epitomise rival hot trends, like the luminous Cheryl Tiegs with her sunshine sexiness versus Bianca Jagger, the dark disco goddess of Studio 54. The chapters close with a designer of the decade: think Chanel, YSL and Dior at their most fabulous. Every one of the more than 150 photographs in the book is completely contemporary and modern-looking, even as far back as the 1900s. There are rare and previously unpublished images, as well as work by legendary fashion photographers. Decades tells an international story with designers from Milan, Tokyo, London, Paris and New York all strutting their stuff. It's a bubbling, sassy, fabulous book that will make you think about vintage fashion in a totally new way.

Swing Time
An ambitious, exuberant new novel moving from north west London to West Africa, from the multi-award-winning author of White Teeth and On Beauty Two brown girls dream of being dancers - but only one, Tracey, has talent. The other has ideas: about rhythm and time, about black bodies and black music, what constitutes a tribe, or makes a person truly free. It's a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either...Dazzlingly energetic and deeply human, Swing Time is a story about friendship and music and stubborn roots, about how we are shaped by these things and how we can survive them. Moving from North-West London to West Africa, it is an exuberant dance to the music of time. Praise for Zadie Smith: 'Smith is the most naturally gifted young novelist around - with a fastidious ear for dialogue and a lethally quiet comic touch. Above all, she can move us' Times Literary Supplement '[Smith] packs more intelligence, humour and sheer energy into any given scene than anyone else of her generation' Sunday Telegraph 'Her dialogue sings and soars; terse, packed and sassy. Smith is simply wonderful: Dickens's legitimate daughter' Independent on NW 'Captivating. Funny, sexy, weird, full of acute social comedy. [Zadie Smith] is up there with the best around' Evening Standard on NW 'Intensely funny, richly varied, always unexpected. A joyous, optimistic, angry masterpiece. No better English novel will be published this year' Daily Telegraph on NW 'Exceptionally accomplished...Smith displays a remarkable talent for embracing all the possibilities of language, and time and again she produces images that shout out in their brilliance...An outstanding novelist' Observer on On Beauty 'Like Forster, Smith possesses a captivating authorial voice - at once authoritative and nonchalant, and capacious enough to accommodate high moral seriousness, laid-back humour and virtually everything in-between' New York Times on On Beauty.

Byli jsme Amerika
Texas, druhá světová válka. Mladý Holanďan Dirk, který bojoval v Severní Africe v řadách německé armády, se po svém zajetí ocitá v internačním táboře pro válečné zajatce. Při práci na bavlníkové plantáži, kde musí vojáci "nadřazené rasy" pracovat po boku někdejších černých otroků, se spřátelí s černošským nádeníkem Harrisem, ale také s jeho tajemnou nevlastní sestrou Sissy.
O více než třicet let později se stárnoucí obchodník Dirk Winter vrací do zcela jiné Ameriky. Čas neúprosně běží a hlavní hrdina přitom potřebuje najít odpověď na tolik otázek. Pronajme si auto a vyráží na cestu napříč Amerikou, jež je zároveň putováním proti proudu času, po stopách vlastní minulosti, před kterou už kdysi jednou utíkal. Kruh se uzavírá.
Před očima čtenáře se ve strhující "filmové" mozaice, budované pečlivě v několika časových rovinách, rozvíjí příběh nepravděpodobného přátelství dvou zcela odlišných mužů a jejich osudových lásek. Mnohé se postupně dovídáme, ovšem velký prostor je ponechán i čtenářově fantazii, neboť cosi zůstává nevysloveno, znepokojivě ukryto pod nánosem času.
Gustaaf Peek (Haarlem, 1975) studoval anglický jazyk a literaturu na univerzitě v nizozemském Leidenu. V současné době žije a pracuje v Amsterdamu. Debutoval románem Armin (2006). Za svůj druhý román Dover, inspirovaný dramatickým osudem čínských imigrantů v Doveru byl nominován na nizozemskou literární cenu BNG za rok 2008. Nakonec tuto cenu získal v roce 2010 za svou třetí knihu Ik was Amerika (Byli jsme Amerika). V roce 2011 získal za stejnou knihu další ocenění, cenu F. Bordewijka (F. Bordewijk Prijs) udělovanou Nadací Jana Camperta (Jan Campert Stichting) za nejlepší nizozemskou prózu roku. Peek oproti většině autorů nečerpá ze svého života, ale inspiraci hledá v historických událostech, nejlépe takových, které neprávem upadají v zapomnění.

Are You There Vodka It'S Me
Chelsea Handler is a woman on a mission. She's smart, sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. From an early age Chelsea knew exactly what she wanted and even in the trickiest of situations, she's never one to pass up an opportunity. Like the time she convinced her third-grade class she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos just to get them to like her, or when she spent the night in a women's prison, contemplating an affair with the inmate who killed her own sister. Chelsea it seems, has done it all, and a whole lot more...Any mishaps along the way just spur Chelsea on further. Whether she is being dry-humped by a sumo masseur, dumped by her Big Red experiment or kicked out of a London restaurant with her pants down, Chelsea is always armed with an unshakable disregard for rules and is incapable of leading a quiet life. "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" is an entertaining memoir-in-stories that will have you rolling around with laughter.

Seize The Night
Dark-Hunter: an immortal warrior who has traded his soul to Artemis for one moment of vengeance on his enemies. In return, they swear to spend eternity protecting mankind from the daimons and vampires that prey on them. Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter - he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention Tabitha is also the sister-in-law of Kyrian, a former Dark-Hunter and Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons - one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.

The Pursuit of Love
'Obsessed with sex!' said Jassy, 'there's nobody so obsessed as you, Linda. Why if I so much as look at a picture you say I'm a pygmalionist.'
In the end we got far more information out of a book called Ducks and Duck Breeding.
'Ducks can only copulate,' said Linda, after studying this for a while, 'in running water. Good luck to them.'
Oh the tedium of waiting to grow up! Longing for love, obsessed with weddings and sex, Linda and her sisters and cousin Fanny are on the look out for the perfect lover. But finding Mr Right is much harder than any of the sisters thought. Linda must suffer marriage first to a stuffy Tory MP and then to a handsome and humorousless communist before finding real love in war-torn Paris . . .
The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest, sharpest novels about love and growing up ever written.

How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan

The Old Man and the Gun
Now a major film starring Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek and Casey Affleck, The Old Man and the Gun is joined by two other riveting true-crime tales by the author of the bestselling Killers of the Flower Moon
The Old Man and the Gun is the incredible story of a bank robber and prison escape artist who modelled himself after figures like Pretty Boy Floyd and who, even in his seventies, refuses to retire. True Crime follows the twisting investigation of a Polish detective who suspects that a novelist planted clues in his fiction to an actual murder. And The Chameleon recounts how a French imposter assumes the identity of a missing boy from Texas and infiltrates the boy's family, only to soon wonder whether he is the one being conned. In this mesmerizing collection, David Grann shows why he has been called a ‘worthy heir to Truman Capote’ and ‘simply the best narrative non-fiction writer working today’, as he takes the reader on a journey through some of the most intriguing and gripping real-life tales from around the world.
