Shantaram
A novel of high adventure, great storytelling and moral purpose, based on an extraordinary true story of eight years in the Bombay underworld. 'In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum. There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time being worked over in an Indian jail. Then, in case anyone thought he was slacking, he acted in Bollywood and fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan ...Amazingly, Roberts wrote Shantaram three times after prison guards trashed the first two versions. It's a profound tribute to his willpower ...At once a high-kicking, eye-gouging adventure, a love saga and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision.' Time Out.

1977 Punk London
Punk. London.1977. Most people blinked and missed it. Many spent a decade trying to catch up. Derek Ridgers stumbled across it by accident, where it was, in the beating filthy heart of the Roxy in middle of a derelict slum called Covent Garden. Stumbling through the moshpits trying to keep hold of a borrowed camera. 1977. Punk London brings you 152 pages of photography featuring the birth of the the most exciting cultural phenomenon in UK history. Currents and vibes, flows and backwash, trends and anti-trends splashing around in the cauldron of youth culture in the city of London, and the lost rebels haunting their suburban bedrooms - jumping the train uptown to get into the legendary Roxy. All converged, for one priceless moment, an outpouring of a truly original, DIY, anarchic, underground scene. Ridgers captured the first wave. Kids in the crowd, never before seen. The punks who made their own clothes because you couldn t buy punk clothes. The punks who got beaten up time and again for making themselves into targets. Rebellion before it got easy. You won t see these kids anywhere in the magazines. They weren t trying to get famous. 1977 will happen again.1 977 is happening somewhere, for someone, right now."

Shantaram
In 1978, gifted student and writer Greg Roberts turned to heroin when his marriage collapsed, feeding his addiction with a string of robberies. Caught and convicted, he was given a nineteen-year sentence. After two years, he escaped from a maximum- security prison, spending the next ten years on the run as Australia's most wanted man. Hiding in Bombay, he established a medical clinic for slum- dwellers, worked in the Bollywood film industry and served time in the notorious Arthur Road prison. He was recruited by one of the most charismatic branches of the Bombay mafia for whom he worked as a forger, counterfeiter, and smuggler, and fought alongside a unit of mujaheddin guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. His debut novel, SHANTARAM, is based on this ten-year period of his life in Bombay. The result is an epic tale of slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison torture, mafia gang wars and Bollywood films. A gripping adventure story, SHANTARAM is also a superbly written meditation on good and evil and an authentic evocation of Bombay life.
Richard Kern - New York Girls, 20th Anniversary
Escape To New York: Revisit those edgy, NY girls of the early 90s New York Girls, published by TASCHEN Books in 1995, defined a time, a place, and the raw esthetic of the artist Richard Kern. Kern was a leading figure in the 1980s Cinema of Transgression, director of the iconic filmsYou Killed Me First, FingeredandSubmit to Me Now; producer of Sonic Youth s Death Valley 69 and Marilyn Manson sLunchboxmusic videos; and a pioneering zine publisher responsible forThe Heroin Addictand The Valium Addict.After kicking his own heroin habit, Kern turned to still photography, shooting girls in his downtown, punk-inflected New York social circle. They werenaked, bold, tattooed, pierced, and casually posedin minimal sets, mostly just Richard s ratty slum apartment. They were young, but not innocent, fully complicit in the bondage, gunplay, and infamous candle insertions. The text was an interview with Kern by Kim Gordon. All of this predated SuicideGirls by six years and was utterly, supremely cool.To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Kern s best-known work, TASCHEN is releasing an updated edition withnever-published outtakes from the original photo sets, as well as photos rejected as too explicit for the first book and stills from his 25 films. We know you ve missed Monica, Erin, Jaiko, Jen, Susan, Amy and Sam, and thought you d enjoy seeing just a bit more of them. Text in English, French, and German "
The Classic Works of Charles Dickens 1
Few writers have better captured the times they were writing in as well as Charles Dickens. Dickens' ability to observe and record human character and environment have placed him at the top table of English fiction writers alongside Shakespeare and Austen, and his titles are still as popular today as they were upon first publication. Charles Dickens was a sensation in his own time, his stories as popular upon publication as they are now, where he sits at the summit of English literature. His depictions of Victorian England, in particular, have become so engrained in common consciousness that they are considered as almost historical texts on the age. In this collection you will find the tale of Oliver Twist, the orphan who Dickens used as a vehicle to highlight the unfairness of the Poor Law and the treacherous conditions of London slum life. In Great Expectations we are introduced to a vast array of quirky and interesting characters - from Pip to Estella, Magwitch to Honest Joe - whilst getting a study on class division and personal relationships. The third novel, A Tale of Two Cities, transports us to revolutionary France, where events fascinated Dickens' social interests. The study of Dr Manette's readjustment to freedom from prison is a brilliant demonstration of the author's unrivalled talent for producing fiction of subtlety and depth.

Předivo času
Předivo času je jedním z nejúspěšnějších Simakových románů. Jistým způsobem se dotýká Simakových českých předků a tajemství, které je zahaluje (Suttonové připomínají Simaky, protože přišli z východu a protože mají kostlivce ve skříni ). O evropském dědečkovi, českém sedlákovi z okolí Prahy, není prakticky nic známo - jen to, co John Simak (Cliffordův otec) svým synům prozradil - přišel prý do Ameriky poté, když v rakousko-uherské armádě zabil v souboji muže.Předivo času je bez nadsázky nejpůvabnější sci-fi román o osudu a cestování v čase, jaký kdy byl napsán, autor v něm dokázal sloučit akční pasáže ve stylu Zlatého věku s překrásnými popisy přírody, jež v science fiction ještě nikdo nepřekonal.

Factotum
Henry Chinaski, an outcast, a loner and a hopeless dunk, drifts around America form one dead-end job to another, from one woman to another and from one bottle to the next. Uncompromising, gritty, hilarious and confessional in turn, his downward spiral is peppered with black humour. Factotum follows Charles Bukowski's bestselling Post Office, his highly autobiographical first novel. Bukowski's Beat Generation writing reflects his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.

Pitsburgh Phil and Co.
'Stories vom verschütteten Leben' nennt Charles Bukowski seine Kurzgeschichten,in denen zur Erbitterung seiner Gegner scheinbar ohne jede Sublimierung'primitive' menschliche Bedürfnisse und Regungen artikuliert werden. 'Wasich nicht brauche, sind diese blödsinnigen Arschlöcher, die mir diesesScheiß-Image, dieses Humphrey-Bogart-Image anhängen wollen, oder mich alseinen wildgewordenen Hemingway feiern oder als den Slum-Gott aus den Kloakenvon Los Angeles oder was weiß ich ... Viele, die mein Zeugs lesen, sindsich nicht darüber im klaren, dass ich nur schreibe, um rauszufinden, obich schon vollkommen kirre bin oder nicht, ob ich die nächsten 24 Stundenüberleben werde - überleben will - oder nicht...' Charles Bukowski, am16. August 1920 in Andernach geboren, seit dem zweiten Lebensjahr Einwohnervon Los Angeles, begann nach wechselnden Jobs als Tankwart, Schlachthof-und Hafenarbeiter und natürlich als Postmann zu schreiben. Er starb am9. März 1994 in San Pedro/LA.

Animals People
Ever since he can remember, Animal has gone on all fours, the catastrophic result of what happened on That Night when, thanks to an American chemical company, the Apocalypse visited his slum. Now not quite twenty, he leads a hand-to-mouth existence w
ith his dog Jara and a crazy old nun called Ma Franci, and spends his nights fantasising about Nisha, the daughter of a local musician, and wondering what it must be like to get laid. When a young American doctor, Elli Barber, comes to town to open a
free clinic for the still suffering townsfolk - only to find herself struggling to convince them that she isn't there to do the dirty work of the 'Kampani' - Animal plunges into a web of intrigues, scams and plots with the unabashed aim of turning e
vents to his own advantage. Compellingly honest, entertaining and entirely without self-pity, Animal's account lights our way into his dark world with flashes of pure joy - from the very first page all the way to the story's explosive ending. ANIMAL'

Sexuální agrese - Znásilnění z pohledu medicíny a práva
Kniha pohlíží na sexuální agresi z úhlů jednotlivých profesí, které se účastní procesního řízení v rámci vyšetřování tohoto násilného sexuálního deliktu. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou sepsané kriminalistou, genetikem-kriminalistou, právníkem, ženským lékařem, soudním znalcem v oboru sexuologie, soudním patologem a psychologem-psychiatrem. Měly by postihnout možná úskalí a zásadní chyby při vyšetřování znásilněné. Tyto chyby totiž vedou v praxi k sekundární viktimizaci postižené, k zásadním omylům při zajištění usvědčujících materiálů a jiným pochybením v rámci procesního řízení.
