Lacná kniha Great Store Design (-50%)
Glamorous, fascinating, and sometimes even magical: the flagship stores of the biggest brands combine interior design and product presentation to create a unique melange of style and image. Stores serve as a window into a very special world whether they are a concept store, pop-up store or a shrine to the brand. The days are long gone when they were merely a sales floor; brands in the fashion, automotive, beauty and lifestyle sectors want to inspire shoppers with their spirit. This is what turns customers into diehard fans. Store design is the great art of staging and communicating a brand's values, and the supreme method of anchoring your brand in a customer's mind over the long term. As our daily activities move increasingly into the virtual sphere, people long for things that are accessible and approachable. Retailers must fight an increasingly difficult battle with online providers to win customers. A sophisticated mix of a wide variety of materials, spaces designed with eclectic ingredients or luxurious accents, and elegant lighting solutions become vehicles that convey the heart and image of a brand and create tactile and visual experiences for shoppers. In this manner, shops become event locations, favorite hangouts, and in the very best cases, a kind of living room for customers and friends. This opulent book shows the most amazing stores, talks to brand makers and creative artists and designers, and offers unique insights into the previously unknown world of brand design. Brands want to move us-and more and more, stores are where the magic happens.

The Great Poets – Francesco Petrarch (EN)
Audiobook The Great Poets – Francesco Petrarch. This 14th-century Italian poet was a model for many who followed him. His passionate sonnets to Laura became the epitome for love poetry. Over some 40 years he wrote 366 sonnets to Laura, whom he probably never even spoke to, and they remain immediate and affecting even now. Called Rime Sparse (Scattered Rhymes), they influenced Chaucer and many others.

The Great Gatsby
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey

The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.
The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

The Great Poets – Samuel Taylor Coleridge (EN)
Audiobook The Great Poets – Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in collaboration with his friend William Wordsworth, revolutionised English poetry; in 1798 they produced their Lyrical Ballads, poems of imagination and reflection using ‘the language of men’. They pointed the way forward for a generation of Romantic poets. Coleridge’s addiction to opium affected his poetic output, and yet the handful of poems he did produce were innovative.

Great Again - Újra naggyá tesszük Amerikát
Milyen érzés, hogy megnyertem az elnökválasztást? Csodálatos. Ezért megérte, hogy annyi nehézséggel kerültem szembe, és bár tudom, hogy még nagyon sok van előttem is, az is mind megéri majd, azért, hogy szolgálhatom az országot, amelyre olyan hihetetlenül büszke vagyok. Hálás vagyok, amiért megkaptam ezt a lehetőséget, és Lincoln elnök "talán"-ja valósággá vált számomra.

Lacná kniha Martin Gerboc - Une Saison en Enfer (-70%)
Monografická publikace, představující výběr z více jak dvacetiletého malířského díla Martina Gerboce (1971), odkazuje ve svém názvu ke knize Arthura Rimbauda Une saison en enfer a podobně jako v poezii prokletého básníka kontrastuje krása a ošklivost, v Gerbocově díle stojí děs po boku rozkoši. Právě hranice, kde se obě charakteristiky stýkají, je pro Gerboce místem, kde setrvává, je jím fascinován a zkoumá je coby nebezpečnou zónu samoty a strachu. Výrazovým prostředkem je mu punková estetika ošklivosti nebo ještě lépe estetika terorismu, která svou otevřeností vyvolává nejdříve odpor a nevoli, je však ve své záhadnosti přitažlivá. Téměř monochromní barevnost odkazuje na barvy těla, jeho vnějšek i vnitřek, krev, kůži, sliznice, oheň i hnilobu. Tematicky se Gerboc obrací k berlínskému kabaretu dvacátých a třicátých let minulého století - tavícímu kotlíku dekadentních kulturních tradic střední Evropy, dále k pornografii a sexualitě versus erotizujícím náboženským motivům či obrazům Francisca Goyi. Umělcova tvorba je často odrazem několika souběžně probíhajících dějů. Divák v tomto osobním střetu čelí svému vlastnímu podvědomí, skrytým touhám a zakázaným rozkoším. Kniha vychází v dvoujazyčném anglicko-českém vydání.

The Great Poets – Robert Browning (EN)
Robert Browning’s popular poems The Pied Piper of Hamelin and How They Brought the Good News are often anthologised, but it is in his dramatic lyrics such as My Last Duchess and the chilling Porphyria’s Lover that his poetic genius shines. Browning, with his unusual use of language, can be a challenging poet, but one who is always rewarding.

Nelson Willie - The Great Divide LP
Willie Hugh Nelson (narodený 29. apríla 1933) je americký spevák, skladateľ, hudobník, politický aktivista a herec. Bol jednou z hlavných postáv outlaw country, subžánru country hudby, ktorý sa vyvinul koncom 60. rokov ako reakcia na konzervatívne obmedzenia zvuku z Nashvillu. Kritický úspech jeho albumu Shotgun Willie (1973) v kombinácii s kritickým a komerčným úspechom skladieb Red Headed Stranger (1975) a Stardust (1978) urobili z Nelsona jedného z najuznávanejších umelcov country hudby. Nelson hral vo viac ako 30 filmoch, bol spoluautorom niekoľkých kníh a bol zapojený do aktivizmu za používanie biopalív a legalizáciu marihuany. "The Great Divide" je 50. štúdiový album, ktorý vydal v roku 2002. Obsahuje niekoľko duetov a hudobných spoluprác s umelcami ako Rob Thomas z Matchbox Twenty, Lee Ann Womack, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Brian McKnight a Bonnie Raitt. Z albumu vznikli dva hitparádové singly „MendocinoCounty Line“ a „Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me)“, ktoré sa dostali na 22. a 41. miesto v rebríčkoch Hot Country Songs.
