Chronique d'une mort annoncée
Sur la silhouette de Santiago Nasar s'est penchée la figure grimaçante de la mort. Qui n'a pas entendu, de la bouche même des assassins en puissance, les frères Vicario, le désir ardent de laver dans le sang l'honneur bafoué de la famille ? Nombreux sont ceux - les amis, la famille, les criminels eux-mêmes&,#160- qui tenteront de déjouer ce que le narrateur, enquêteur minutieux, affirme comme inéluctable dès les premières pages... Mais sur ce bout de terre tropicale, rien ne semble capable de fléchir l'axe effilé du destin. Récit bref, l'histoire se déroule en cercles concentriques sous la forme d'une spirale infernale qui précipite la victime vers sa fin, connue de tous, qu'il soit acteur ou lecteur. L'écrivain colombien, par cette construction ingénieuse, développe avec humour et imagination - annonçant l'explosion lyrique et stylistique de Cent ans de solitude - le thème de la fatalité. Une fatalité décrite par Gabriel Garcia Marquez comme l'émanation concrète, émancipée au-delà du concept, d'une population aux règles ancestrales et à la destinée pétrifiée. --Hector Chavez
Lacná kniha Hierba Roja (-50%)
El ingeniero Wolf y su ayudante, el mecánico Lazuli, construyen una máquina del tiempo gracias a la que Wolf pretende, mediante el retorno a su infancia, conjurar todos los errores y todas las obsesiones que le habían acosado entonces. Sólo exorcizando aquellas sombras estará, cree él, en condiciones de recuperar la facultad de gozar de los fugaces instantes de felicidad que le brinda la vida. Pero todos sabemos que los inquisidores no aceptan semejantes audacias y quién sabe si Wolf conseguirá sobreponerse a ellos? Esta es tal vez la novela más intimista y menos burlesca de Vian, y muchas de las situaciones remiten sin duda a su vida personal. No obstante, a la ternura que inspira esta historia, a la vez dolorosa y patética, Vian no puede dejar de anadir, como siempre en toda su obra, la desbordante fantasía y la lúcida insolencia que otorga a personajes e historias esa mágica y contagiosa vitalidad que atrapa de principio a fin a sus lectores de ayer y de hoy, más que incondicionales adictos.

Du côté de chez Swann
L'expression roman fleuve devrait, sans connotation péjorative, désigner une œuvre qui prend le temps de charrier mille petites particules d'impression pour les infuser dans l'esprit d'un lecteur captivé. En somme, elle devrait avoir été créée pour désigner La Recherche proustienne, qui s'ouvre Du côté de chez Swann et s'achève une fois Le Temps retrouvé. Dans le premier tome de ce superbe travail sur la mémoire et la métaphore, œuvre à part entière mais aussi amorce dramatique d'un joyau de la langue française, le narrateur s'aperçoit fortuitement, à l'occasion d'un goûter composé d'une tasse de thé et d'une madeleine désormais célèbre, que les sens ont la faculté de faire ressurgir le souvenir. Grâce aux senteurs d'un buisson d'aubépines, il prend confusément conscience de la distinction entre le souvenir et la réminiscence, pour ensuite s'exercer à manier les mots comme de petits papiers japonais qui, touchés par la grâce de l'eau, se déploient en corolle pour faire place à tout un univers. Tout comme se déploie un roman fleuve à partir de cette toute petite phrase légendaire : "Longtemps, je me suis couché de bonne heure". --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters

Le Cheval Pale
Un prtre estimé de tous, le pre Borman, est assassiné dans la rue. Il venait de recueillir l'ultime confession d'une femme. On retrouve sur lui un papier, comportant une liste de noms : des personnes mortes récemment - ou en train de mourir - de maladie. Quel secret redoutable a pu lui révéler l'agonisante ? Tombé sur cette histoire tout fait par hasard, l'historien Marc Easterbrook - grand ami de la célbre romancire Ariadne Oliver, bien connue des lecteurs d'Agatha Christie - va se passionner pour cette énigme. Elle l'amnera au Cheval pâle, sinistre demeure o trois femmes se livrent la magie noire et aux cérémonies sataniques. Faut-il croire que l'on peut provoquer la maladie et la mort distance, par la seule invocation des Puissances du Mal ? La vérité est bien plus retorse. Mais pour tout savoir de l'organisation criminelle ici l'oeuvre, le lecteur devra patienter jusqu' aux toutes dernires pages...

Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds Of The Western CD
Thin Lizzy sú írska hardrocková skupina založená v Dubline v roku 1969. Thin Lizzy spočiatku tvorili basgitarista, hlavný spevák a hlavný skladateľ Phil Lynott, bubeník Brian Downey, gitarista Eric Bell a organista Eric Wrixon, hoci Wrixon po niekoľkých mesiacoch odišiel. Po Bellovom odchode na konci roku 1973 skupina čoskoro prešla na dvoch hlavných gitaristov: Scotta Gorhama, ktorý zostal s kapelou až do jej rozpadu v roku 1983, a Briana Robertsona, ktorého v roku 1978 nahradil Gary Moore. Garyho striedavo nahradil Snowy White v roku 1980 a John Sykes v roku 1982. Zostava bola rozšírená klávesákom Darrenom Whartonom v roku 1980. Single "Whiskey in the Jar" (1972), "The Boys Are Back in Town" (1976) a „Waiting for an Alibi“ (1979) boli medzinárodné hity a niekoľko albumov Thin Lizzy sa dostalo do prvej desiatky v Spojenom kráľovstve. Hudba skupiny odráža širokú škálu vplyvov, vrátane blues, soulovej hudby, psychedelického rocku a tradičnej írskej ľudovej hudby, ale vo všeobecnosti je klasifikovaná ako hard rock alebo niekedy heavy metal.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Song of Glory
Fearless Vikings confront their destiny in this glory-seeking prequel to Ubisoft's next hit video game, Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Tensions escalate when a village caught between two rival kingdoms is brutally raided. Eivor, warrior and daughter of wise King Styrbjorn, dispatches the raiders, rescues the villagers, and claims the settlement for her father. She also seizes a prisoner—a woman, Gull, left behind by the rivals—who declares she possesses the secrets of Asgard itself. But there is more to Gull than meets the eye, and her capture will bring death and destruction to Eivor's family. In disgrace and lured by the promise of treasures and glory, Eivor undergoes a dangerous quest to regain her honor, but what terror awaits in the forgotten temple of a powerful god? All the time, her brother Sigurd forges his own legend while searching for fortune in the lands of the East. Far from home, he finds new weapons and fresh plunder, making a discovery that will change his destiny forever...
The Assassin's Creed universe expands with a Viking epic brought to you by writer Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic, Doctor Who, Shadow Service) with art by Martin Tunica (Crossed Plus One Hundred), and colors by Michael Atiyeh (Star Wars, The Division, Dragon Age)!

Fluid
Influential designer Harris Reed explores the world of gender-defying fashion in this richly illustrated monograph.
In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the center of Reed’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Reed’s work constantly disrupts the divide between men’s and women’s clothing.
Reed’s pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé, and with each piece, he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion.
With stunning color photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris’s design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, positing that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.
A Brutal Reckoning
From the devastating invasion by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century to the relentless pressure from white settlers 150 years later, A Brutal Reckoning tells the story of encroachment on the vast Native American territory in the Deep South, which gave rise to the Creek War, the bloodiest in American Indian history, and propelled Andrew Jackson into national prominence, as he led the US Army in a ruthless campaign.
It was a war that involved not only white Americans and Native Americans but also the British and the Spanish, and ultimately led to the Trail of Tears, in which the government forcibly removed the entire Creek people, as well as the neighbouring Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee nations, from their homelands, leaving the way open for the conquest of the West. No other single Indian conflict had such a significant impact on the fate of the country.
Wonderfully told and brilliantly detailed, A Brutal Reckoning is a sweeping history of a crucial period in the destruction of America's native tribes.
On Our Best Behaviour
Why do women equate self-denial with being 'good'?
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:
Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.
These so-called 'deadly sins' have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work.
So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be 'good'?
Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.
