The Monsters We Deserve
'Do monsters always stay in the book where they were born? Are they content to live out their lives on paper, and never step foot into the real world?'
The Villa Diodati, on the shore of Lake Geneva, 1816: the Year without Summer. As Byron, Polidori, and Mr and Mrs Shelley shelter from the unexpected weather, old ghost stories are read and new ghost stories imagined. Born by the twin brains of the Shelleys is Frankenstein, one of the most influential tales of horror of all time.
In a remote mountain house, high in the French Alps, an author broods on Shelley's creation. Reality and perception merge, fuelled by poisoned thoughts. Humankind makes monsters; but who really creates who? This is a book about reason, the imagination, and the creative act of reading and writing. Marcus Sedgwick's ghostly, menacing novel celebrates the legacy of Mary Shelley's literary debut in its bicentenary year.

A Dog's Heart
When a stray dog dying on the streets of Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs. As he begins to transform into a rowdy, unkempt human by the name of Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov, his actions distress the professor and those surrounding him, although he finds himself accepted into the ranks of the Soviet state.A parodic reworking of the Frankenstein myth and a vicious satire of the Communist revolution and the concept of the New Soviet man, A Dog's Heart was banned by the censors in 1925 and circulated only in samizdat form. Nowadays this hugely entertaining tale has become very popular in Russia, and has inspired many adaptations across the world.

All About Me!
At 95, the legendary Mel Brooks continues to set the standard for comedy across television, film, and the stage. Now, for the first time, this EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner shares his story in his own words.
"I hope fans of comedy will get a kick out of the stories behind my work, and really enjoy taking this remarkable ride with me." -Mel Brooks
For anyone who loves American comedy, the long wait is over. Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny.
All About Me! charts Mel Brooks's meteoric rise from a Depression-era kid in Brooklyn to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Whether serving in the United States Army in World War II, or during his burgeoning career as a teenage comedian in the Catskills, Mel was always mining his experiences for material, always looking for the perfect joke. His iconic career began with Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, where he was part of the greatest writers' room in history, which included Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. After co-creating both the mega-hit 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums and the classic television series Get Smart, Brooks's stellar film career took off. He would go on to write, direct, and star in The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, and Spaceballs, as well as produce groundbreaking and eclectic films, including The Elephant Man, The Fly, and My Favorite Year. Brooks then went on to conquer Broadway with his record-breaking, Tony-winning musical, The Producers.
All About Me! offers fans insight into the inspiration behind the ideas for his outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work, and offers details about the many close friendships and collaborations Brooks had, including those with Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his life, Anne Bancroft.
Filled with tales of struggle, achievement, and camaraderie (and dozens of photographs), readers will gain a more personal and deeper understanding of the incredible body of work behind one of the most accomplished and beloved entertainers in history.

Elastic
The bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walk unlocks the secrets of flexible thinking
What do Pokemon Go and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein have in common?
Why do some businesses survive, and others fail at the first sign of change?
What gives the human brain the edge over computers?
The answer: Elastic Thinking. It's an ability we all possess, and one that we can all learn to hone in order to succeed, at work and in our everyday lives.
Here Leonard Mlodinow, whose own flexible thinking has taken him from physics professor to TV scriptwriter and bestselling author, takes us on a revelatory exploration of how elasticity works. He draws on cutting-edge neuroscience to show how, millennia ago, our brains developed an affinity for novelty, idea generation and exploration. He discovers how flexible thinking enabled some of the greatest artists, writers, musicians and innovators to create paradigm shifts. He investigates the organisations that have demonstrated an elastic ability to adapt to new technologies. And he reveals how you can test your own brain power and increase your capacity for elastic thinking.
By uncovering the secrets of our flexible minds, Elastic explains how to thrive in an endlessly dynamic world, at a time when an ability to adapt is more important than ever before.

Co jsem řekl své dceři o ekonomii
Co se stane, když se profesor ekonomie, který je zároveň radikálním levicovým politikem, rozhodne své dospívající dceři vysvětlit, jak funguje ekonomika a svět kolem nás?
Nečekejte žádné „ismy“, matematické vzorce ani šermování autoritami. Bude to nevšední čtení: setkáte se například s australskými domorodci, s reky Homérových eposů, Faustem a Mefistofelem, s Frankensteinem a Mary Shelleyovou, šamany afrického kmene Azandů, obyvateli německého tábora pro válečné zajatce a s hrdiny filmů Matrix a Blade Runner.
A jen tak mimochodem se dozvíte, jak fungují peníze a zisk, jaký je mechanismus dluhu, odkud se bere nerovnost a chudoba, proč vznikají ekonomické krize – a ještě mnoho dalšího. Odborná erudice a celkový přehled se u Janise Varufakise pojí se svižným perem a jasnými názory – pro někoho provokativními, pro jiné inspirujícími. Jedno je ale jisté: tuto knihu přečtete jedním dechem!

Svědkyně zítřka
Obecně se soudí, že science fiction byla, přinejmenším do počátku sedmdesátých let 20. století, především doménou mužů. Významný příspěvek ženských autorek by však neměl být podceňován – koneckonců Frankensteina, jenž je obecně považován za první skutečnou science fiction, napsala žena, Mary W. Shelleyová, a autorkou jedné z prvních utopií napsaných v Americe byla Mary Griffithová.
Antologie Svědkyně zítřka předkládá zajímavý výběr z raných (vědecko)fantastických povídek z pera žen, které musely být ve své době odvážné i navýsost tvrdohlavé, aby mohly svůj talent i touhu psát rozvíjet. Editor Mike Ashley v předmluvě zdůrazňuje význam, jaký měla díla píšících žen v počátcích vývoje žánru, a odhaluje odlišný, zcela jedinečný úhel, z jakého autorky nahlížejí na zázraky i hrůzy, které může přinést technologický a vědecký pokrok.

OWC Caleb Williams
William Godwin was one of the most popular novelists of the Romantic era; P.B. Shelley praised him, Byron drew heavily on his narrative style, and Mary Shelley, Godwin’s daughter, dedicated Frankenstein to him. Caleb Williams is the riveting account of a young man whose curiosity leads him to pry into a murder from the past. The first novel of crime and detection in English literature, Caleb Williams is also a powerful exposé of the evils and inequities of the political and social system in 1790s Britain. In addition to the text itself, the editors have included an extensive selection of primary source materials from the period, ranging from Godwin’s original manuscript ending and excerpts from his political writings to contemporary reviews, the political writings of Burke and Paine, and materials on criminals and the English prison system.

Kniha pro horolezce a milovníky pískovcových skal. Dočtete se v ní nejen o lezení, ale hlavně o historie dobývání zdejších vrcholů. Kniha mapuje historii lezení ve všech oblastech Polické vrchoviny a jejího blízkého okolí.

Úvodem knihy jsou přiřazeny dvě kapitoly mapující ve stručnosti historii saského lezení od 6. března 1864 (výstup na Falkenstein) a nástin okolností za kterých saští lezci postupně objevovali české pískovcové oblasti až po nejvzdálenější Adršpach. Kniha obsahuje mnoho unikátních, leckdy ještě nikdy nepublikovaných, fotografií z prvovýstupů, prvních přelezů a opakování. Mnohé z fotografií jsou od výrazného českého fotografa Karla Vlčka.

My Life as a Fake
In Melbourne in the late 1940s, a young conservative poet named Christopher Chubb decides to teach his country a lesson about pretension and authenticity. But over the ensuing years his audacious act of literary ventriloquism takes on a much darker resonance. Having fled Melbourne for the seedy, sweaty streets of Kuala Lumpur, Chubb finds himself, just as Frankenstein was, haunted and pursued by his own creation.

Four Gothic Novels: Castle of Otranto, Vathek, The Monk, Franken - OWC Four Gothic Novels
Macabre and melodramtic, set in haunted castles or fantastic landscapes, Gothic tales became fashionable in the late eighteenth century with the publication of Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764). Crammed with catastrophe, terror, and ghostly interventions, the novel was an immediate success, and influenced numerous followers. These include William Beckford's Vathek (1786), which alternates grotesque comedy with scenes of exotic magnificence in the story of the ruthless Caliph Vathek's journey to damation. The Monk (1796), by Matthew Lewis, is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest, set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid. Frankenstein (1818, 1831) is Mary Shelley's disturbing and perennially popular tale of young student who learns the secret of giving life to a creature made from human relics, with horrific consequences. This collection illustrates the range and the attraction of the Gothic novel. Extreme and sensational, each of the four printed here is also a powerful psychological story of isolation and monomania.
