Lacná kniha A Month in Siena (-70%)
FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AND MAN BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR
'Everybody should get to spend a month with Mr. Matar, looking at paintings' Zadie Smith
'Sparkles with brilliant observations on art and architecture, friendship and loss' Guardian
____________________________________
When Hisham Matar was nineteen years old he came across the Sienese School of painting for the first time. In the year in which Matar's life was shattered by the disappearance of his father the work of the great artists of Siena seemed to offer him a sense of hope. Over the years since then, Matar's feelings towards these paintings would deepen and, as he says, 'Siena began to occupy the sort of uneasy reverence the devout might feel towards Mecca or Rome or Jerusalem'.
A Month in Siena is the encounter, twenty-five years later, between the writer and the city he had worshipped from afar. It is a dazzling evocation of an extraordinary place and its effect on the writer's life. It is an immersion in painting, a consideration of grief and a profoundly moving contemplation of the relationship between art and the human condition.

Životná cesta baleríny - My Life on Stage and Beyond
Nádherná autobiografia o Florentine Lojekovej, váženej a vynikajúcej umelkyne učiteľke klasického baletu.
Live Life in Crescendo
The inspirational final book from the legendary leadership expert Stephen R. Covey, internationally best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
How do you live your best life, no matter your age? How should you approach the challenges and opportunities of middle to later life-like raising children, caring for parents, managing and inspiring others, and staying on top of your career and what comes next?
In Live Life in Crescendo Stephen R. Covey sets out to answer these questions, outlining his vision for those in the prime of your life, whatever age you may be. To live life in crescendo is to continually grow in contribution, learning, and influence. In the same way that music builds on previous notes but leaves us anticipating the next note, a life builds on the past but unfolds in the future. The Crescendo Mentality urges readers to use whatever you have - your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence - to enrich the lives of people around you.
Written near the end of his life and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book infused with Covey's generosity and wisdom.

Pink Floyd - A Foot In The Door: The Best Of 2LP
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili čtrnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: První vydání na vinylu! Kompilační album A Foot In The Door vyšlo původně v roce 2011 na CD a obsahuje nejznámější skladby skupiny z období 1967 - 1994 včetně Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, See Emily Play nebo High Hopes. Pro účely vydání na vinylu byly nahrávky znovu zremasterovány, na zvuk dohlíželi James Guthrie, Joel Plante a také Bernie Grundman. Design alba vznikal pod dohledem kreativní ředitelky Aubrey Powell z Hipgnosis a Petera Curzona. Obal obsahuje alternativní verze fotografií, jež byly použity na CD. Oba vinyly jsou pochopitelně 180g.

When in Rome
Rome is where the heart is.
Amelia Rose is burned-out from years of maintaining her public image as pop princess Rae Rose. Inspired by her favourite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.
Running the pie shop his grandmother left him, Noah Walker is busy enough as it is. But after finding Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he decides to let her stay in his guest room - on a very temporary basis, of course.
As the two of them grow closer, Noah starts to see a new side to Amelia - kind-hearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. Amelia may have to go back to her other life someday, but for now she's perfectly happy falling in love with the cozy small town she's found herself in . . . and her grumpy tour guide isn't half-bad either.

Lacná kniha Made in Sweden (-90%)
Nad medveďom môžeš vyhrať len vtedy, keď budeš tancovať a správne udierať.
Všetko je nacvičené. Sekunda za sekundou. Každý pohyb na mieste. Nebude jeden jediný svedok, ktorý by mohol informovať o tom, čo sa stalo. Nijaký policajt nenájde stopy vedúce k páchateľom. Potom príde opojný pocit a uvoľnenie. Veľké akvárium pre zlatú rybku plné peňazí.
Pred mnohými rokmi, keď sa rodina rozpadávala, sa traja bratia zomkli. Leo, Felix, Vincent. Tyranský otec ich učil vždy nemilosrdne vrátiť úder. Chlapci boli dokonale školení v násilí, pretože v ňom vyrastali.
Všetko sa začalo prepadom muničného skladu, neskôr transportného vozidla plného peňazí. Potom už lúpeže nasledujú jedna za druhou. Veľa sa strieľa, no nevyhasne ani jeden ľudský život. Páchatelia sa vynoria odnikiaľ a okamžite bez stopy zmiznú. Nikdy nemajú dosť. Švédsko je zdesené a plné obáv.
Vyšetrovanie prvej lúpeže peňazí pridelia mimoriadne schopnému kriminalistovi Johnovi Broncksovi, naplno oddanému svojej práci. On jediný vie, ako na záhadnú Vojenskú ligu. Pochopí, akú taktiku používajú. No kým bratia držia spolu, sú neporaziteľní...

I Loved You In Another Life
A sweeping romantic novel from New York Times bestselling author David Arnold about the power of soulmates and love.
Evan Taft has plans. Take a gap year in Alaska, make sure his brother and single mother are taken care of, and continue therapy to process his father's departure. But after his mum's unexpected cancer diagnosis, and as Evan's plans begin to fade, he hears something - a song no one else can hear, the voice of a mysterious singer ...
Shosh Bell has dreams. A high school theatre legend, she's headed to performing arts college in LA, a star on the rise. But when a drunk driver takes her sister's life, that star fades to black. All that remains is a void - and a soft voice singing in her ear ...
Over it all, transcending time and space, a celestial bird brings strangers together: from an escaped murderer in 19th century Paris, to a Norwegian cosmonaut in low-earth orbit, something is happening that began long ago, and will long outlast Evan and Shosh.
With lyrical prose and breathtaking storytelling I Loved You in Another Life explores the history of love, and how some souls are meant for each other - yesterday, today, forever. Perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Matt Haig.
Hogarth: Life in Progress
On a late spring night in 1732, a boisterous group of friends set out from their local pub. They are beginning a journey, a 'peregrination' that will take them through the gritty streets of Georgian London and along the River Thames as far as the Isle of Sheppey. And among them is an up-and-coming engraver and painter, just beginning to make a name for himself: William Hogarth.
Hogarth's vision, to a vast degree, still defines the eighteenth century. In this, the first biography for over twenty years, Jacqueline Riding brings him to vivid life, immersing us in the world he inhabited and from which he drew inspiration. At the same time, she introduces us to an artist who was far bolder and more various than we give him credit for: an ambitious self-made man, a devoted husband, a sensitive portraitist, an unmatched storyteller, philanthropist, technical innovator and author of a seminal work of art theory.
Following in his own footsteps from humble beginnings to professional triumph (and occasional disaster), Hogarth illuminates the work and life of a great artist who embraced the highest principles even while charting humanity's lowest vices.
