All The Lovers In The Night
From international literary sensation Mieko Kawakami comes All the Lovers in the Night, an extraordinary, deeply moving and insightful story set in contemporary Tokyo.
Fuyuko Irie is a freelance proofreader in her thirties. Living alone, and unable to form meaningful relationships, she has little contact with anyone other than Hijiri, someone she works with. When she sees her reflection, she’s confronted with a tired and spiritless woman who has failed to take control of her own life. Her one source of solace: light. Every Christmas Eve, Fuyuko heads out to catch a glimpse of the lights that fill the Tokyo night. But it is a chance encounter with a man named Mitsutsuka that awakens something new in her. And so her life begins to change.
As Fuyuko starts to see the world in a different light, painful memories from her past begin to resurface. Fuyuko needs to be loved, to be heard, and to be seen. But living in a small world of her own making, will she find the strength to bring down the walls that surround her? All the Lovers in the Night is acute and insightful, entertaining and captivating, pulsing and poetic, modern and shocking. It’s another unforgettable novel from Japan’s most exciting writer.
Lacná kniha Of All That Ends (-50%)
Suddenly, in spite of the trials of old age, and with the end in sight, everything seems possible again: love letters, soliloquies, scenes of jealousy, swan songs, social satire, and moments of happiness.
Only an aging artist who has once more cheated death can get to work with such wisdom, defiance and wit. A wealth of touching stories is condensed into artful miniatures. In a striking interplay of poetry, lyric prose and drawings, the Nobel Prize-winning author creates his final, major work of art.
A moving farewell gift, a sensual, melancholy summation of a life fully lived.

This is Europe
What does it now mean to call yourself European? Who makes up this population of 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries, steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines, fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety and a new start?
In a series of vivid, ambitious, darkly visceral but always empathetic portraits of other people's lives, Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom.
Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize - but this is Europe.

This Is Vegan Propaganda
Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in.
Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.
Through exploring the major ways that our current system of animal farming affects the world around us, as well as the cultural and psychological factors that drive our behaviours, This Is Vegan Propaganda answers the pressing question, is there a better way?
Whether you are a vegan already or curious to learn more, this book will show you the other side of the story that has been hidden for far too long. Based on years of research and conversations with slaughterhouse workers and farmers, to animal rights philosophers, environmentalists and everyday consumers, vegan educator and public speaker Ed Winters will give you the knowledge to understand the true scale and enormity of the issues at stake.
This Is Vegan Propaganda is the empowering and groundbreaking book on veganism that everyone, vegan and sceptic alike, needs to read.

Walking Monuments - anglicky - puzzle tour for kids of all ages
Toto šarmantné mesto je hlavným mestom Slovenskej Republiky. Leží medzi riekou Dunaj (ľudia ho volajú aj „Krásavica na Dunaji“) a úpätím Malých Karpát. Úžasná blízkosť Viedne a hranice s Rakúskom, Maďarskom (tieto krajiny môžeš vidieť z hradného kopca voľným okom) a Českou Republikou robia návštevu ešte zaujímavejšou. V priebehu dejín videla Bratislava prichádzať a odchádzať mnoho kráľov, armád, umelcov a učencov. Čo ostalo, sú krásne pamiatky. This charming town is the capital of Slovak Republic. It sits between the river Danube (people call the city also “A beauty at the Danube”) and the foothills of Carpathian Mountains. Striking proximity to Vienna (70 km) and the border to Austria, Hungary (you can see these countries from the hill castle with a naked eye) and Czech Republic make the visit even more attractive. In the course of history Bratislava has seen many kings, armies, artists and scholars coming and going. What stayed are the beautiful monuments.

English is easy, Csaba is dead
Románová podoba slávneho divadelného predstavenia divadla GUNAGU.
Všetky postavy a udalosti tohoto príbehu sú vymyslené. Zhody so skutočnými osobami však nie sú náhodné. Svedčia o odvahe Petra Doktorova pozorovať a talente dešifrovať správanie sa špecifického poddruhu Homo sapiens; od obrany teritória, lovných techník, hierarchie rodiny, až po páriace rituály. Jedince spomínaného druhu nemajú krk, ale hlavohruď je obdarená mohutnou svalovinou. Vedúcemu samcovi sú oddaní ako psy, ale lojalitou môžu maskovať nedostatok odvahy a inteligencie odstrániť vodcu. Teritórium značkujú močom a pri stretnutiach s konkurenčnými rodinami vždy hrozí krviprelievanie a straty na životoch. Päste majú rýchlejšie ako vaše myšlienky a sklony k agresivite a vulgárnym výrazom robia z románu čítanie nevhodné pre deti a citlivé povahy. Všetkých, čo majú radi drsný humor s robustnou pointou, bravúrne dialógy a zvieratká, kniha prevedie aj základmi anglickej gramatiky. Hor sa do štúdia, dear friends! English is easy…
