Dve lásky a jeden nedokončený román
Georgii Stantonovej sa rozpadol vysnívaný život pred očami. Po bolestivom rozvode sa vracia domov do Colorada, aby prevzala literárnu pozostalosť svojej prababky – najpopulárnejšej autorky ženských románov. Existuje však rukopis, ktorý obľúbená spisovateľka nikdy nedokončila. Je to príbeh jej jedinej veľkej lásky, ktorú našla a stratila počas hrôz druhej svetovej vojny.
Noah Harrison je na vrchole svojej spisovateľskej kariéry. Keď sa mu naskytne jedinečná príležitosť dokončiť posledný rukopis slávnej spisovateľky, nedokáže odolať ponuke dopísať knihu svojho literárneho idolu. Plány mu však prekazí spisovateľkina pravnučka Georgia. Tá mu odporuje na každom kroku a bez jej súhlasu nesmie napísať ani slovo. Vzájomnými škriepkami a každodennými nekonečnými diskusiami k sebe nachádzajú cestu. Noah je Georgiou čoraz fascinovanejší...
Tento román je príbeh o dvoch veľkých láskach – a o koncoch, ktoré nedokážeme predvídať.

Najkrajšie príbehy o prírode
Precestujte svet s príbehmi o prírode na každý mesiac v roku
Príroda nikdy nespí, neustále sa v nej niečo deje: v oblakoch sa tvoria kvapky dažďa, veverička si hľadá oriešky na zimu a v Antarktíde sa z vajíčka do zimy vykľuje malý tučniak. To všetko sa môže odohrávať v rôznych kútoch zeme súčasne.
Každá kapitola tejto nádherne ilustrovanej knihy je usporiadaná podľa cyklu kalendárneho roka a obsahuje štyri príbehy na každý mesiac z inej časti sveta. Ilustruje tak nekonečnú krásu a rozmanitosť prírody na našej planéte. Čitateľom ukazuje, že zatiaľ čo niekde je horúce leto, inde môže byť mrazivá zima či obdobie dažďov.
Na viac než 100 stranách sú vyrozprávané fascinujúce príbehy zvierat, rastlín a procesov, ktoré vysvetľujú, ako prebieha striedanie ročných období a učia deti spoznávať rôzne typy počasia a divokú prírodu.

Bratislava - City Hall, Rathaus, Radnica
Radnica v Bratislave je harmonický komplex rozličných budov, aký inde v Európe nevidieť. Priamo v srdci
mesta sa rozkladá ako labyrint nie menej ako deviatich väčších a menších domov, palácov a nádvorí.
Vznikal postupne skoro 700 rokov a rástol spolu s mestom.
The City Hall of Bratislava is a harmonious complex of various buildings, hard to find the equivalent of
anywhere in Europe. It is situated right in the heart of the city and spreads like a labyrinth of no less than
nine larger and smaller houses, palaces and courtyards. It evolved gradually for almost 700 years and
was growing together with the city.
Das Rathaus von Bratislava ist ein harmonischer Komplex unterschiedlicher Gebäude, wie man ihn in
Europa sonst nicht findet. Direkt im Herzen der Stadt entfaltet es sich als Labyrinth von neun größeren
und kleineren Gebäuden, Palais und Innenhöfen. Es entwickelte sich kontinuierlich 700 Jahre lang und
wuchs zusammen mit der Stadt.
Blues, 3. vydání
Knihu tvoří autorem sestavená sbírka Blues pro bláznivou holku (většina textů vznikla ještě před jeho vojenskou službou) a abecedně seřazené ostatní básně a písňové texty, které pocházejí z celého jeho tvůrčího období. Výtvarně tuto edici doprovází fotografie Pavla Baňky, jenž společně s Václavem Hrabětem, Vladimírou Čerepkovou a Inkou Machulkovou vystupoval v roce 1964 na textappelových večerech v pražské Viole.
Koncem padesátých let, ve zlaté době Reduty, přišel do Prahy i Václav Hrabě (1940–1965). Nekonformní svět mladých lidí po vlně free jazzu zasáhla na počátku 60. Let beat generation. Corso, Ferlinghetti, Kerouac a především Ginsberg ovlivnili mnoho mladých lidí a brzy se objevila beatnické poezie také u nás. Hrabětovy verše jsou pro tuto dobu nejcharakterističtější.
The Future of Money
The world of finance is on the cusp of a major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states?indeed, all of us. As Eswar Prasad makes clear, the end of physical cash will fundamentally rewrite how we live. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are just the beginning: spurred by their emergence, central banks will increasingly develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve dramatically as global corporations like Meta, Apple, and Amazon join the game.
Prasad shows how these innovations will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions. This transformation promises greater efficiency and flexibility, but also carries the risk of instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lucid, visionary work, The Future of Money shows how to maximize the best and guard against the worst of what is to come.
The Common Reader
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
The only advice, indeed, that one person can give another about reading is to take no advice, to follow your own instincts, to use your own reason, to come to your own conclusions.
In her second volume of essays, Virginia Woolf delves deeper into the delights of reading. Here, she explores the novels of Thomas Hardy and Daniel Defoe, and recounts the fascinating lives of Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft. In ‘ How Should One Read a Book?’ she offers sage advice for the common reader, and sheds light on the lessons and pleasures literature can provide.
Published in 1932, The Common Reader: Second Series is a wise and illuminating companion collection to her 1925 First Series. Woolf’s enduring appeal and ideas continue to resonate with readers in the twenty-first century.

Wading in Waist-High Water
Since the release of their breakout debut in 2008, Fleet Foxes and their frontman, singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold, have enjoyed international critical and commercial acclaim.
Drawing comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel; Crosby, Stills & Nash; and the music of Brian Wilson, Grammy-nominated Fleet Foxes have reshaped the American indie-folk sound, crafting songs that are acoustically and melodically driven, steeped in gospel-like harmonies, and propelled by resonant and timeless lyrics. Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes contains Robin Pecknold's complete lyrics from 56 songs, capturing the poetic and inventive storytelling that is a hallmark of the band's music. These richly layered lyrics explore the complexity, darkness, and beauty of physical and emotional landscapes, both pastoral and modern.
Alongside the lyrics, Pecknold includes hand-written notes and candid observations on creative processes, inspirations, and motivations. With an introduction by celebrated author Brandon Taylor, Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes is a moving and intimate look at the art of songwriting, the joy of music-making, and what it means to produce meaningful and memorable sound.
Europe and the Roma
The first full, comprehensive account of the cultural representation of the Roma in European history
This remarkable book describes a dark side of European history: the rejection of the Roma from their initial arrival in the late Middle Ages to the present day. To Europeans, the Roma appeared to be in complete contradiction with their own culture, because of their mysterious origins, unknown language and way of life. As representatives of an oral culture, for centuries the Roma have left virtually no written records of their own. Their history has been conveyed to us almost exclusively through the distorted images that European cultures project.
Persecuted and shunned, the Roma nonetheless spread out across the continent and became an important, indeed indispensable element in the European imagination. It is impossible to conceive of the culture of Spain, southern France and much of Central Europe without this pervasive Romani influence.
Europe and the Roma brilliantly describes the 'fascination and fear' which have marked Europeans' response to the Romani presence. Countless composers, artists and writers have responded to Romani culture and to fantasies thereof. Their projections onto a group whose illiteracy and marginalization gave it so little direct voice of its own have always been a very uneasy mixture of the inspired, the patronizing and the frighteningly ignorant. The book also shows the link between cultural violence, social discrimination and racist policies that paved the way for the genocide of the Roma.
Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: Guilty but Insane
The plea of insanity in criminal cases can be traced back at least to the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, which dates from 1755-1759 BC. It is a complicated defence, and its origins in modern law lie with the 'M'Naghten Rules' of 1843, formulated by British judges as a jury instruction in cases where a plea of insanity had been entered. Daniel M'Naghten shot and killed one Edward Drummond, believing him to be the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, and was acquitted on the grounds of insanity, and the M'Naghten Rules still exert considerable influence over defences today.
Clearly a plea of insanity in murder cases is of critical importance when the death penalty is still applied, and even today it may still be the difference between a life sentence in a high-security prison, or an indeterminate one in a secure psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, 27 of the USA's 50 states have retained or readopted the death penalty, and at least 54 other countries, including China, Russia, India, Iran and Saudi Arabia, also retain it.
Naturally, a criminal who was liable to swing for murder could, and sometimes did, make every attempt to appear insane, and this book examines some of these cases, as well as trials in which the accused was indeed judged to be insane. The failure rate is high; of seven American serial killers who deployed the defence in their trials, only two were successful, ending their days in secure psychiatric facilities; two were executed, and the other three either died or were killed while serving full-life sentences, or are still in gaol.
In the Lives of Puppets
From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
New for paperback! This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world.
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller*
*Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.

Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened.
A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors?the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived.
The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.
Negatives
A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.
While the term emo has become a familiar label, there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late '90s would never have classified themselves as such. With the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into something new. Today, the musical and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo label has been reclaimed by those who can’t imagine life without it.
Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly put together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo. With a foreword by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and revealing essays from Frank Iero, Geoff Rickly, Norman Brannon, Matt Pryor, Jesse Johnson, Andrew McMahon, and Bob Nanna, as well as insights and bite-sized narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music history—a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring more than eighty bands, including:
- Jimmy Eat World
- Dashboard Confessional
- My Chemical Romance
- Texas Is the Reason
- Taking Back Sunday
- The Get Up Kids
- Thursday
- Fall Out Boy
- American Football
- Jawbreaker
From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and holes-in-the-wall, during long overnight drives through the middle of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels, Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
A UNIQUE LOVE LETTER FROM EXPERT AUTHOR: The first of its kind, Negatives is not a critic's take—rather a touching and heartfelt time capsule and photographic archive of the scene as told by those who lived it.
RARE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATERIAL: Founder of Fiddler Records Amy Fleisher Madden compiles hundreds of high-quality photos of more than eighty bands, as well as essays and bite-sized narratives from photographers and key musicians of the era.
STAR CONTRIBUTORS: Foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with essays by Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Jesse Johnson (Motion City Soundtrack), Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes), and Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate).
A MUSIC GIFT FOR EVERY EMO FAN: Focusing on the second and third waves (1996–2006), Negatives includes hundreds of high-quality images of bands including Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Texas Is the Reason, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, Thursday, The Promise Ring, American Football, Saosin, and more.
Perfect for:
- Emo fans of all kinds and all waves
- Fans of second-wave bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, third-wave bands like My Chemical Romance, and indie emo bands like Death Cab for Cutie
- Music history fans
- Musicians and aspiring musicians
- Photography enthusiasts
- Music lover's gift idea for birthday, graduation, holiday, or any special occasion
Fiafia Samoa-Šťastná Samoa
Dobrodružstvo, romantika a zvedavosť vyhnali autora na ďalekú cestu do Polynézie. Aj história tichomorských ostrovov je vari najmenej prebádaná, tak ako nikde inde na svete, a preto je tu príležitosť pre archeológov a vedcov mnohých odvetví.
Samoa
leží v srdci Polynézie a jej obyvatelia sami o sebe hovoria "Fiafia Samoa" (Šťastná Samoa) a svoju domovinu nazývajú "Ostrovy pokladov Južného Pacifiku". Prečo je to tak? Príjemná klíma, úrodná zem, ale hlavne spôsob života Polynézanov im vytvára ra
j na zemi.
Aj u nás, v Európe by sa ľuďom ľahšie dýchalo, keby si od Samoánčanov zobrali príklad. Aristoteles to kedysi vyjadril slovami: Celok je viacej, ako suma jeho častí.

A is for Arsenic
Shortlisted for the Macavity Awards 2016
Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...
Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random – the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?
Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.
