Lacná kniha Va Voir Maman... (-50%)
Va voir maman, papa travaille ! Sauf que maman travaille aussi, y compris le dimanche pour rattraper quatre années passées veiller sur la santé, le repos et les jeux du petit Jérôme. Alors, qui emmnera l'enfant au jardin d'Acclimatation, et ensuite au Drugstore pour manger une glace ? La question n'est pas futile, et annonce mme un drame. Serge et Agns, les parents, travaillent et sortent beaucoup, il faut bien que les adultes vivent. Leur appartement la de plaine monceau est calme et cossu. En apparence, le bon ordre y rgne. Le silence aussi. Or, Jérôme n'aime ni le silence, ni la solitude. Et s'il était plus grand, il dirait sans doute combien il souffre qu'on l'abandonne pour un métier, des amis, des mondanités et des liaisons inutiles.

Lacná kniha La terre sous ses pieds (-90%)
Au centre du monde se tient Vina Apsara, grande chanteuse de rock adulée. Sous ses pieds, la terre tremble et bouleverse tout. A la périphérie de cet épicentre, Raï raconte la passion indestructible qui unit Vina, son amour de toujours, et Ormus, son rival depuis l'enfance. Il nous soumet sa vision fragmentée, presque épiphanique, à l'image de ses photographies mais aussi de ses incursions dans la vie de Vina. Tels les clichés qui permettent à certains événements d'exister pleinement, le récit du narrateur fait office de point d'ancrage à Vina et Ormus, Orphée et Eurydice modernes trop beaux pour ne pas être invulnérables. Car La Terre sous ses pieds est aussi un roman de la limite, du seuil de part et d'autre duquel les choses se correspondent et se questionnent. Premier roman d'amour de Rushdie, cet ouvrage laisse au lecteur essoufflé, ébahi et ému, le sentiment de quelque chose de neuf. L'oeuvre de Rushdie est décidément un étonnement permanent, une quête sans cesse renouvelée malgré sa constance. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters

Lacná kniha Les Vertes Lectures (-70%)
Au fond de chaque chose un poisson nage Poisson de peur que tu n'en sortes nu Je te jetterai mon manteau d'images. Ces vers de Lanza del Vasto décrivent la démarche de ces auteurs dits pour les jeunes ". Avant des vérités trop graves exprimer, ils les dissimulent sous des histoires de voyage, de pche, de chasse, de naves amours. Si les lecteurs adultes les prennent la légre et rangent leurs livres dans le rayon du second ordre de leur bibliothque, c'est qu'ils ont réussi leur coup : le manteau d'images a joué son rôle. Les jeunes lecteurs, eux, ne s'y trompent pas. Ils dévorent ces vérités mystérieuses, profondes et cruelles si joliment enveloppées et qui nourrissent leur sensibilité. On dit parfois d'un enfant qui aime la lecture qu'il est " sage comme une image ". A-t-on mesuré toute la dangereuse et profonde sagesse des images ?"

Bad Summer People
Come for the sun-drenched escapism, stay for the satirical swipes and bad behaviour, this page-turning treat of a novel will be on every deckchair come publication.
Every summer, from Memorial Day until Labour Day, privileged New Yorkers flock to second homes on Fire Island trailing children, nannies and picnic baskets. They exchange busy jobs and city lives for gossip, tennis and adultery, and this summer sets out to be no different - until a body is discovered by the side of the boardwalk.
As the summer goes on, cracks begin to show between the perfect couples and their perfect lives. None of them would admit to being particularly good. But who among them is actually capable of murder?
Beroun
Nová reprezentativní fotografická publikace o současném Berouně vychází při příležitosti oslav 750. výročí první písemné zmínky o městě. Autory fotografií jsou berounští tvůrci Vladimír Kasl, Jiří Semrád a Zdeněk Zůna, autorem doprovodných textů je berounský básník a textař Jan Velíšek. Ten ve svém úvodním slově mimo jiné uvádí: „Milí čtenáři, dostáváte do ruky knihu o Berouně, městě, které v roce 2015 slaví 750 let písemně doložené existence. Na město to není nijak kritický věk; známe i starší, a některá vypadají docela dobře. My Berouňáci máme své město pochopitelně rádi. A měli bychom radost, kdyby je měli rádi i ti, kteří se sem zrovna přistěhovali, a také všichni hosté, ať už jsou důvody jejich návštěvy ekonomické, turistické, nebo jde o pouhou náhodu. Takže, máte-li chuť a čas, obujte si pomyslné poutnické střevíce a nechte se obrazem i slovem provést dnešním Berounem, a trochu také jeho historií. Šťastnou cestu!“
Současná starostka města Šárka Endrlová ve svém vyznání v knize píše: „Jsem moc ráda, že vám můžu touto cestou nabídnout knížku o Berouně, městě, které jsem si vybrala pro život své rodiny a moc si ho zamilovala. Myslím, že jejím autorům se podařilo najít způsob, jak naše město představit těm, kteří v něm nežijí, i těm, kteří jsou přesvědčeni, že ho znají jako své boty. Ti první získají díky této knize aspoň základní představu, jak Beroun vypadá, ti druzí tu třeba objeví i místa, o nichž neměli dosud ani tušení, nebo nové pohledy na to, kolem čeho už někdy chodí se slepou samozřejmostí.“ Kniha obsahuje překlad veškerých doprovodných textů také do německého a anglického jazyka.

You are holding in your hands a book on Beroun – a city that in 2015 is celebrating 750 years of its existence as documented by the first written records about it. It is not a critical age for a city – there are older ones and some of them look quite good. Naturally, we, the inhabitants of Beroun, love our town. And we will be happy if those who have just moved here as well as all those who visit it love it too, no matter what reasons they have for their visit – whether they come on business, as tourists or whether they are just accidentally passing through. So, if you have the time and feel like it, put on your imaginary walking shoes and go on a tour to experience present-day Beroun and some of its history in words and pictures.
Enjoy your trip.
Jan Velíšek
Dear readers, I am very happy to offer you this book on the town of Beroun, the place that I chose to live in with my family and that I have fallen in love with.
I believe that the authors have managed to find the right way to introduce our town to those who do not live there as well as to those who are convinced they know it through and through. Thanks to this book, the former might get at least a basic idea of what Beroun looks like while the latter might discover places that they did not know existed or get fresh views of what they often pass and have so far been blind to. We agreed to provide an open and true picture of Beroun’s present, so you will also see such places that we, the people of Beroun, will have to improve considerably. I hope you have a beautiful walk guided by the kind words of the Beroun native, lyricist and editor, Jan Velíšek. And you will be able to see Beroun’s prominent features and different nooks and crannies through the lenses of three photographers, Vladimír Kasl, Jiří Semrád and Zdeněk Zůna, who are all local patriots.
Šárka Endrlová, Mayor of Beroun

Sie bekommen ein Buch über Beroun in die Hände, einer Stadt, die im Jahre 2015 750 Jahre ihrer schriftlich belegten Existenz feiert. Für eine Stadt ist dies kein kritisches Alter; wir kennen auch ältere Städte und einige sehen ganz gut aus.
Wir Berouner mögen unsere Stadt begreiflicherweise. Und wir würden uns freuen, wenn auch diejenigen, die gerade hierhergezogen sind und auch alle Gäste, die aus wirtschaftlichen oder touristischen Gründen oder nur rein zufällig hier weilen, sie mögen. Wenn Sie also Lust und Zeit haben, ziehen Sie sich Ihre imaginären Pilgerschuhe an und lassen Sie sich in Bild und Wort durch das Beroun von heute und ein Stück seiner Geschichte führen.
Gute Reise.
Jan Velíšek
Liebe Leser, ich freue mich sehr, Ihnen auf diesem Wege ein Buch über Beroun, über jene Stadt anbieten zu können, die ich für meine Familie als Heimatort wählte, und in die ich mich wirklich verliebt habe.
Ich glaube, dass es den Autoren des Buches in richtiger Weise gelungen ist, unsere Stadt all jenen Menschen vorzustellen, die hier nicht leben, jedoch auch denjenigen, die der Überzeugung sind, die Stadt wie ihre „Westentasche“ zu kennen. Die Ersten erhalten durch dieses Buch zumindest eine grundlege Vorstellung, wie Beroun aussieht, während die Letztgenannten vielleicht Ecken und Winkel entdecken, deren Existenz sie bisher nicht einmal geahnt haben, oder an denen sie mitunter mit blinder Selbstverständigkeit achtlos vorbeigehen. Gemeinsam entschieden wir uns, ein offenes und wahrhaftiges Bild der Berouner Gegenwart zu vermitteln, sodass Sie auch Orte sehen, die für uns Berouner eine Herausforderung darstellen.
Ich wünsche Ihnen somit einen angenehmen Spaziergang, auf dem Sie das nette Wort des in Beroun geborenen Textautors und Redakteurs Jan Velíšek begleitet. Und die Berouner Dominanten sowie unterschiedlich Perspektiven bringen Ihnen die Objektive dreier Fotografen und hiesiger Patrioten näher - Vladimír Kasl, Jiří Semrád und Zdeněk Zůna.

Lacná kniha Exit Ghost (-50%)
Like Rip Van Winkle returning to his hometown to find that all has changed, Nathan Zuckerman comes back to New York, the city he left eleven years before. Alone on his New England mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats, no women, no news, no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age. Walking the streets like a revenant, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. One is with a young couple with whom, in a rash moment, he offers to swap homes. They will flee post-911 Manhattan for his country refuge, and he will return to city life. But from the time he meets them, Zuckerman also wants to swap his solitude for the erotic challenge of the young woman, Jaime, whose allure draws him back to all that he thought he had left behind: intimacy, the vibrant play of heart and body. The second connection is with a figure from Zuckerman's youth, Amy Bellette, companion and muse to Zuckerman's first literary hero, E.I. Lonoff. The once irresistible Amy is now an old woman depleted by illness, guarding the memory of that grandly austere American writer who showed Nathan the solitary path to a writing vocation. The third connection is with Lonoff's would-be biographer, a young literary hound who will do and say nearly anything to get to Lonoff's great secret". Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities. Haunted by Roth's earlier works - the melancholy comedy of "The Ghost Writer", the counterpoint of the imaginary and the real in "The Counterlife", the distinctive dialogues of "Deception" - "Exit Ghost" is a reminder of Roth's incomparable style and themes and an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer's insatiable commitment to fiction."

Bad Gays
Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?
Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.
Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.
His Last Bow
His Last Bow is a collection of seven Sherlock Holmes stories (eight in American editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the title of one of the stories in that collection. Originally published in 1917, it contains the various Holmes stories published between 1908 and 1913, as well as the one-off title story from 1917.The collection was originally called Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes and did not contain the actual story His Last Bow, which appeared later, after the full-length The Valley of Fear was published. However later editions added it and changed the title. Some recent complete editions have restored the earlier title.When the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were published in the USA for the first time, the publishers believed "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" was too scandalous for the American public, since it dealt with the theme of adultery. As a result, this story was not published in the USA until many years later, when it was added to His Last Bow. Even today, most American editions of the canon include it with His Last Bow, while most British editions keep the story in its original place in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.

Antony and Cleopatra
Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was first printed in the First Folio of 1623.The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Life of Markus Antonius and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Parthian War to Cleopatra's suicide. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs and the future first emperor of Rome. The tragedy is a Roman play characterized by swift, panoramic shifts in geographical locations and in registers, alternating between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and the more pragmatic, austere Rome. Many consider the role of Cleopatra in this play one of the most complex female roles in Shakespeare's work. She is frequently vain and histrionic, provoking an audience almost to scorn; at the same time, Shakespeare's efforts invest both her and Antony with tragic grandeur. These contradictory features have led to famously divided critical responses.

Delphi Complete Works of Nicolas Poussin (Illustrated)
The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason, order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would become the standard for a long tradition of academic art, continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters, the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Poussin’s complete paintings in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.
