Garbage - No Goods No Masters LP
KDO: Garbage jsou skotsko-americká rocková skupina, založená roku 1994 v americkém městě Madison. Kapelu tvoří skotská zpěvačka Shirley Manson a američtí hudebníci Duke Erikson, Steve Marker a Butch Vig, který se již před založením skupiny proslavil jako producent alb skupin Nirvana a Smashing Pumpkins. Za dobu svého působení prodala skupina po celém světě více než 16 mil. desek.
CO: Album "No Gods No Masters" je sedmým albem skupiny a vychází pět let po předchozím, kritikou velmi ceněným albem "Strange Little Birds". Podle skupiny sedmička v pořadí jejích alb ovlivnila i jeho obsah, neboť "sedm je ctností, bolestí i smrtelných hříchů". Albem se skupina snaží pochopit svět, ve kterém všichni žijeme, a chaos, ve kterém se nacházíme.

The Reason I Jump
Composed by a writer still with one foot in childhood, and whose autism was at least as challenging and life-defining as our son's, THE REASON I JUMP was a revelatory godsend. Reading it felt as if, for the first time, our own son was talking to us about what was happening inside his head.'
Written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, this remarkable book explains the often baffling behaviour of autistic children and shows the way they think and feel - such as about the people around them, time and beauty, noise, and themselves. Naoki abundantly proves that autistic people do possess imagination, humour and empathy, but also makes clear, with great poignancy, how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.
David Mitchell and his wife have translated Naoki's book so that it might help others dealing with autism, and generally illuminate a little-understood condition. Like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, it gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective.

The Kiss
On a warm June evening, a red double-decker bus, full of passengers, speeds down a London street. A few blocks away, a man and a woman climb into a limousine, reveling in a magical evening of dancing and champagne. As their driver pulls into an intersection, the couple shares their first, searching kiss. For a moment, etched in time, all stands still - until, in a flash of metal and glass, their limousine is struck at full speed, crushed under the bus' tremendous weight. And a long journey begins - toward healing, toward hope, toward dreams of an infinite future...Isabelle Forrester is the exquisite wife of a prominent Parisian banker who has long since shut her out of his heart. For lonely years, Isabelle has lived a life of isolation, pouring her passions into caring for her desperately ill son, Teddy, and into making their Paris home as happy as possible for her teenage daughter, Sophie.Isabelle allows herself one secret pleasure: a long-distance friendship by telephone with an American man, a Washington power broker who travels in the highest circles of politics and who, like Isabelle, is trapped in an empty marriage. To Bill Robinson, Isabelle is a godsend, a woman of extraordinary beauty and intellectual curiosity - a kindred spirit who touches him across the miles with her warmth and gentle empathy. Their relationship is a gift, a lifeline that sustains them both through the heartache of marriages they cannot leave and will not betray. Agreeing to meet for a few precious, innocent days in London, Isabelle and Bill find their friendship changing. Then, amidst the sudden crash of steel against steel, they are thrust onto a new path, a path fraught with pain but also with possibility. Now, inside the cool, sterile wards of a London hospital, Isabelle and Bill cling to life, their bodies shattered almost beyond repair.In the days and weeks that follow, they slowly, painfully traverse a road to recovery littered with challenges of the body, spirit, and heart. Together, they must find the strength not only to embrace life again but to face what they have left behind. For Isabelle, a loveless marriage turns into a brutal power struggle. For Bill, a time of healing exposes wounds that cut deeper than steel and realities that will test him to his core. For both, a tangle of changing relationships and the tragedy of another loss conspire to separate them once again. And this time they could lose each other forever. In a novel that is as compelling as it is compassionate, Danielle Steel weaves a story of courage in the face of unimaginable loss. With the grace of a master storyteller, she explores the strength it takes to conquer our greatest fears, showing us how the toughest choices can yield the most unexpected rewards...and how the longest, most winding journeys can begin with a single kiss.

Női szamurájok 1184-1877
"Japán női harcosairól a legkorábbi idők óta léteznek legendák és történetek; az első ilyen arról szól, miként vezette a félig-meddig mondabeli uralkodónő, Dzsingú-kógó a Korea elleni hadjáratot, miközben szíve alatt a jövendő Ódzsin császárt hordta. Azt az Ódzsint, aki utóbb Hacsimanként, a háború isteneként vonult be a felkelő nap országának istenei közé. Japán írott történelme során mindvégig találunk női szamurájokat, akik a csatamezőn és a színfalak mögött tevékenykedve nagy befolyással bírtak az események menetére - jelen kötetünkben elsőként szeretnénk bemutatni, mennyire sokrétű volt a nők szerepe a szamuráj-hadviselésben. Amellett, hogy beszámolunk olyan híres női harcosok tetteiről, amilyen Tomoe Godzen és Hódzsó Maszako, az "apácasógun", kötetünkben számos olyan asszonyt és lányt mutatunk be, akik fegyvert ragadtak váruk, otthonuk védelmében, egyúttal megismertetjük olvasóinkat azzal, miként váltak az 1868-ban a modern császári erőkkel szembeszálló asszonyok az egész japán történelem leghíresebb női szamurájaivá."
