Lacná kniha Sacred Book Of The Werewolf (-70%)
A. Huli, the heroine of Victor Pelevin's latest book, is beautiful, slender and curiously foxlike. She lives in Moscow and works as a classy prostitute in the city's premier hotels. But when a client goes inexplicably and fatally berserk at the sight of her in his luxury suite, A. Huli has to leave in a hurry. She decides to explore new avenues and place an ad on the internet - and that's when the trouble really starts. Victor Pelevin's new work of fiction is both a supernatural love story and an outrageously funny satirical portrait of modern Russia. With all his characteristic humour and metaphysical ambition, Pelevin introduces us to an unforgettable cast of perverts, former KGB agents, oil tycoons and amorous werewolves.

Lacná kniha The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher (-70%)
Synopsis It is a summer's night in 1860. In an elegant detached Georgian house in the village of Road, Wiltshire, all is quiet. Behind shuttered windows the Kent family lies sound asleep. At some point after midnight a dog barks. The family wakes the next morning to a horrific discovery: an unimaginably gruesome murder has taken place in their home. The household reverberates with shock, not least because the guilty party is surely still among them. Jack Whicher of Scotland Yard, the most celebrated detective of his day, reaches Road Hill House a fortnight later. He faces an unenviable task: to solve a case in which the grieving family are the suspects. The murder provokes national hysteria. The thought of what might be festering behind the closed doors of respectable middle-class homes - scheming servants, rebellious children, insanity, jealousy, loneliness and loathing - arouses fear and a kind of excitement. But when Whicher reaches his shocking conclusion there is uproar and bewilderment. A true story that inspired a generation of writers such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, this has all the hallmarks of the classic murder mystery - a body; a detective; a country house steeped in secrets. In The Suspicions of Mr Whicher Kate Summerscale untangles the facts behind this notorious case, bringing it back to vivid, extraordinary life.

The Library of Lost Things
From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books. There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother's hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary.
But then Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works...and straight into her heart. For the first time in her life, Darcy can't seem to find the right words. Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide behind her carefully constructed ink-and-paper wall.
Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she'll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth--even if it's messy.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary Remaster Limited Collectors Edition) (Picture Disc) 2LP
Pink Floyd sú nepochybne jednou z najzásadnejších skupín hudobnej histórie. Ich experimentálna rocková muzika ovplyvnila milióny poslucháčov a inšpirovala niekoľko generácií hudobníkov. Vždy ich zdobil progresívny prístup pri hľadaní nových možností, kládli dôraz na koncepčné prepojenie zvuku s obrazom. Mali jedinečné nápady a organizovali originálne výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kedy vznikli, natočili pätnásť štúdiových albumov. Ťažko hľadať slávnejšiu art-rockovú skupinu!
Na oslavu 50. výročia remasterovej kampane v roku 2023 sa Pink Floyd chystajú odhaliť špeciálnu edíciu The Dark Side of the Moon, prezentovanú na krištáľovo čistom vinyle. Toto jedinečné vydanie sa skladá z dvojitej LP, každá s hmotnosťou 180 gramov, každú možno prehrať len na jednej strane a doplnená o kresbu obrázkového disku s UV potlačou na stranách bez drážok. Dizajn tejto edície predstavuje ikonické hranolové spektrum viditeľné cez hrateľné strany. Balenie obsahuje bránový obal zapuzdrený v puzdre spolu s exkluzívnym plagátom. Pink Floyd po prvýkrát predstavuje novú technológiu UV tlače pre obrazový disk. Pomocou dômyselnej UV tlačiarne sú obrázky vytvárané pomocou UV-LED svetla, ktoré vysušuje permanentný atrament na stranách len s obrázkami. Tento inovatívny prístup spája bezkonkurenčnú zvukovú vernosť s ohromujúcim vizuálnym umením a ponúka fanúšikom dokonalý zážitok z jedného z najlepších albumov – a vinylových platní – všetkých čias.

Bol súčasťou niekoľkých kapiel s Andym Rourkem predtým, ako v roku 1982 založili Smiths s Morrisseym. štýl popovej gitary sa stal výraznou súčasťou zvuku kapely, ale v roku 1987 sa rozišiel kvôli osobným rozdielom medzi Marrom a Morrisseyom. Odvtedy je Marr členom skupín Pretenders, The, Electronic, Modest Mouse a Cribs a stal sa z neho plodný session hudobník, ktorý spolupracuje s menami ako Kirsty MacColl, Pet Shop Boys, Talking Heads, Bryan Ferry. a Hans Zimmer.

Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You
Why are we often convinced that we're right even when we're wrong?
Why are we jealous, or paranoid, even when we have absolutely no reason to be?
Why is it so easy for fake news to spread around the globe and fool us?
It's because we don't see the world as it is, rather we reconstruct it in our mind. Reality is way too complex and multiple to be apprehended by our capacities of attention, which are quite limited, as well as our brain abilities. That is why our perception of the world is subjective and various elements influence the way we acquire knowledge and form opinions. Our brain is recreating the world in its own way - most of the time for our own good: how hard would it be if, before making a choice, we had to know about all the options available in a given situation? It would take us forever to choose an item of clothing in a store, or a meal in a restaurant! Luckily, our brain can estimate: even if it makes us imperfect and subject to illusion, delusion and error, it allows us to reconstruct the world as we know it, and live in it.
However, these very useful mechanisms can sometimes mislead us and have a rather negative impact on our actions, beliefs and opinions: when our brain behaves that way, we say it is biased. Albert Moukheiber gives us tips and tricks to fight against these cognitive biases - the first one being not to trust ourselves too much and to always doubt our thinking processes, especially in this era where social networks spread information like an epidemic. In this book, filled with multiple examples from our daily lives and psychosocial experiments, Moukheiber explores the building blocks of our perception, cognition and behavior, which are involved in acquiring knowledge or forming opinions.

Lacná kniha The Last Mughal: The Fall of Delhi (-50%)
On a dark evening in November 1862, a cheap coffin is buried in eerie silence. There are no lamentations or panegyrics, for the British Commissioner in charge has insisted, 'No vesting will remain to distinguish where the last of the Great Mughals rests.' This Mughal is Bahadur Shah Zafar II, one of the most tolerant and likeable of his remarkable dynasty who found himself leader of a violent and doomed uprising. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad, the end of both Mughal power and a remarkable culture.
