Lacná kniha V kuchyni
Román je ódou na pomíjivost. A nikde není pocit pomíjivosti intenzivnější než v prostředí velkoměstského hotelu, v tomto případě hotelu Imperial na londýnském náměstí Picadilly Circus. Ústřední postavou je Gabriel Lightfood, hotelový šéfkuchař. Ve svých dvaačtyřiceti se ocitá na přelomu života. Sponzoři jsou připraveni financovat naplnění jeho snu o vlastním restaurantu, a právě požádal o ruku svou přítelkyni Charlie. Objev mrtvoly vrátného v hotelovém suterénu je ale okamžikem, od kterého se Gabrielovy životní jistoty začínají hroutit. Setkává se s tajemnou dívkou Lenou z Východní Evropy, nejasně spojenou se smrtí vrátného. Lena tvrdí, že je obětí obchodu s bílým masem a Gabriel jí nabídne pomoc. A věci se začnou komplikovat. Víc než co jiného je ale román V kuchyni knihou o světě práce - jak nás mění a definuje. Gabrielovo pracoviště, v posledních letech zprofanované televizními show, se tady zdá být i nadále fascinující a kuchyňské scény jsou silnými místy románu. Své postavy autorka často používá jako prostředníky k tlumočení rozdílných názorů na Velkou Británii. A obratně tak vytváří portrét národa, jenž ztrácí pocit identity.
Britská spisovatelka Monica Ali (1967) pochází ze smíšené anglicko-pákistánské rodiny, narodila se v muslimském Bangladéši, její rodiče záhy přesídlili do Británie, kde Monica vystudovala Oxfordskou univerzitu. Její prvotina Brick Lane (2003, Ve čtvrti Brick Lane) způsobila senzaci už v rukopisné podobě. Vydavatel s autorkou podepsal smlouvu už na základě pěti kapitol první verze románu a časopis Granta ji v roce 2003 zařadil mezi dvacítku "Nejlepších mladých britských romanopisců". Epická přistěhovalecká sága o bangladéšské rodině, žijící ve Velké Británii, autorce získala nominaci na Man Booker Prize v roce 2003 a v roce 2007 přišla do kin její zfilmovaná verze. Úspěch debutu znamenal pro Monicu Ali hrozbu věčného zaškatulkování mezi etnické autory, ona však takový osud jednoznačně odmítla. Její druhý román Alentejo Blue (2007, Alentejská modř) v sobě překvapivě sdružuje několik volně provázaných příběhů z portugalského venkova. Ve své třetí knize In the Kitchen (2009, V kuchyni, KNIHA ZLIN 2013) se Monica Ali vrací k tématům své prvotiny - národní identitě, rodině, loajalitě - a promítá je na pozadí nejistých, proměnlivých životních podmínek londýnských přistěhovaleckých pracovníků.

Jethro Tull - kompletní příběh
Kompletní příběh legendární skupiny s nezaměnitelným zvukem z archivu magazínu Classic Rock
Každý, kdo se nechal zlákat pestrým světem skupiny Jethro Tull, potvrdí, že se těmto britským výstředníkům nikdo a nic nevyrovná. Proměnlivou hudební krajinou přitom kapelu vždy bezchybně naváděly podmanivé tóny flétny frontmana Iana Andersona. Také jeho zásluhou Jethro Tull již přes padesát let neopakovatelným způsobem přetvářejí podobu rockové hudby. Jako důkaz mohou posloužit přelomová alba Aqualung nebo Thick as a Brick z počátku sedmdesátých let, která kapele zaručila status megahvězd na obou březích Atlantiku.
Ve skladbách Jethro Tull si podávají ruce folk i rock, klasika, blues i world music. Ian Anderson navíc dlouhá desetiletí hájí pozice jednoho z nejlepších písňových textařů všech dob. Ať však Anderson varovně hrozí prstem, nebo nachází podobenství v britském folklóru, své pravdy vždy sděluje neopakovatelným, strhujícím způsobem.
Pětapadesáté výročí založení Jethro Tull nabídlo jedinečnou příležitost zmapovat umělecké zrání této mimořádné hudební formace od bluesrockových kořenů přes vrcholné artrockové období po experimenty s moderním elektronickým zvukem. Na následujících stranách naleznete popis zásadních milníků v dějinách kapely, příběh vzniku všech přelomových alb, ale také dosud nezveřejněné fotografie z archivu samotného Iana Andersona. Uchopte flétnu, zhluboka se nadechněte, pusťte si svou oblíbenou skladbu od Jethro Tull a jdeme na to…

Twilight of Democracy
Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a penetrating investigator of contemporary politics. Here she sets her sights on the big question, one with which she herself has been deeply engaged in both Europe and America: how did our democracy go wrong? This extraordinary document, written with urgency, intelligence and understanding, is her answer. Timothy Snyder
Friendships torn. Ideals betrayed. Alliances broken. In this, her most personal book, a great historian explains why so many of those who won the battles for democracy or have spent their lives proclaiming its values are now succumbing to liars, thugs and crooks. Analysis, reportage and memoir, Twilight of Democracy fearlessly tells the shameful story of a political generation gone bad. David Frum
In the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, people from across the political spectrum in Europe and America celebrated a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged personal friendships. Yet over the following decades the euphoria evaporated, the common purpose and centre ground gradually disappeared, extremism rose once more and eventually - as this book compellingly relates - the relationships soured too.
Anne Applebaum traces this history in an unfamiliar way, looking at the trajectories of individuals caught up in the public events of the last three decades. When politics becomes polarized, which side do you back? If you are a journalist, an intellectual, a civic leader, how do you deal with the re-emergence of authoritarian or nationalist ideas in your country? When your leaders appropriate history, or pedal conspiracies, or eviscerate the media and the judiciary, do you go along with it?
Twilight of Democracy is an essay that combines the personal and the political in an original way and brings a fresh understanding to the dynamics of public life in Europe and America, both now and in the recent past.
Power, People and Profits
From Nobel Prize-winning economist and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, this account of the dangers of free market fundamentalism reveals what has gone so wrong, but also shows us a way out. We all have the sense that our economy tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in People, Power and Profits, a few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth.
This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of economic prosperity and democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless.
In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for people and not the other way around. If enough rally behind this agenda for change, we can create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity.
Stiglitz shows how a decent middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.

Lacná kniha The Fifth Risk (-70%)
The phenomenal new book from the international bestselling author of The Big Short'The election happened ... And then there was radio silence.'The morning after Trump was elected president, the people who ran the US Department of Energy - an agency that deals with some of the most powerful risks facing humanity - waited to welcome the incoming administration's transition team. Nobody appeared.
Across the US government, the same thing happened: nothing. People don't notice when stuff goes right. That is the stuff government does.
It manages everything that underpins our lives from funding free school meals, to policing rogue nuclear activity, to predicting extreme weather events. It steps in where private investment fears to tread, innovates and creates knowledge, assesses extreme long-term risk. And now, government is under attack.
By its own leaders. In The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis reveals the combustible cocktail of wilful ignorance and venality that is fuelling the destruction of a country's fabric. All of this, Lewis shows, exposes America and the world to the biggest risk of all.
It is what you never learned that might have saved you.

The Climate Book
Greta Thunberg's speeches shook the world. With The Climate Book, she has created an essential tool for everyone who wants to help save it. It seems like an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, acting at a scale and speed that the world has never seen, in the face of vast and powerful forces--not just oil tycoons and governments, but the changing climate system itself.
The odds are against us, and we are running out of time. But it doesn't have to be this way. Around the world, geophysicists and mathematicians, oceanographers and meteorologists, engineers, economists, psychologists and philosophers have been using their expertise to develop a deep understanding of the crises we face.
Greta Thunberg has created The Climate Book in partnership with over one hundred of these experts in order to equip us all with this knowledge. Alongside them, Greta shares her own stories of learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing the extent to which we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest problems, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope.
Once we are given the full picture, we will be able to act--and if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?The Climate Book shows that we all have the responsibility of being alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity, and that, together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.

Lacná kniha The Undoing Project (-70%)
From Michael Lewis, No.1 bestselling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, this is the extraordinary story of the two men whose ideas changed the world.
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky met in war-torn 1960s Israel. Both were gifted young psychology professors: Kahneman a rootless son of holocaust survivors who saw the world as a problem to be solved; Tversky a voluble, instinctual blur of energy. In this breathtaking new book, Michael Lewis tells the extraordinary story of a relationship that became a shared mind: one which created the field of behavioural economics, revolutionising everything from Big Data to medicine, from how we are governed to how we spend, from high finance to football. Kahneman and Tversky, shows Michael Lewis, helped shape the world in which we now live - and may well have changed, for good, humankind's view of its own mind.
