Innersphere - In The Shadow Of The Sun CD
KDO: INNERSPHERE je melodic death metalová kapela z Plzně založená na konci roku 2015. Tento kvartet míchá prvky různých metalových i rockových subžánrů s patrnými vlivy progressive, thrash, black nebo doom metalu, přičemž si stále zachovávají agresivní elementy napříč tvorbou. Poslední alba jsou zaměřena na výpravu, atmosféru a ducha skladeb. INNERSPHERE jsou aktivní kapelou hned od první sestavy (2016), kdy objíždějí koncerty nejen v ČR, ale také v Německu, Polsku, Rakousku či na Balkáně. Vydané byly zatím dvě desky nahrávky a nyní přichází třetí řadové album „In The Shadow of the Sun”. Cíl INNERSPHERE byl a je stejný od samotného začátku – tvořit unikátní hudbu, vyvíjet ji i sama sebe.
CO: Třetí album INNERSPHERE se nese ve velmi vážném duchu. Propracované deathové melodie a úderné rytmy doprovází temná poselství korespondující s aktuálním děním ve světě. „In the Shadow of the Sun“ není koncepčním albem, leč mísí se v ní různá témata. Ať jde o určitou formu mytologie, metafor na psychiku člověka či vlastní zážitky, narážky na společnost a lidstvo jako takové. Z té hudební stránky se jedná o poměrně unikátní mix stylů a prvků, které jsme na nahrávce použili. Hudba by v první řadě měla být výpravou skladby, kterou provází a měla by pomoct posluchači se vžít do dané věci, tématu nebo alespoň se nad ní v určitý moment zamyslet. Zároveň jsme chtěli neubírat na říznosti a šťavnatosti hudební stránky. Album má předpoklad oslovit lidi preferující sofistikovanější kompozice, melodiku, co se nebojí se více poslechů a rádi objevují. Na desce je použito větší množství čistých, sborových zpěvů než dříve a je prolnuto doprovodem mellotronu, který má nádherný, archaický zvuk umocňující mystiku a epičnost metalových písní. aAlbum bylo nahráno ve studiu Barn pod taktovkou mistra zvuku Dana Frimla.

Lacná kniha Of Gods and Men (-70%)
Daisy Dunn offers a deeply researched collection of stories reflecting the eclectic richness and depth of the classical literary canon.
Striking a balance between the 'classic classic' (such as Dryden's translation of the Aeneid) and the less familiar or expected, Of Gods and Men ranges from the epic poetry of Homer to the histories of Arrian and Diodorus Siculus and the sprawling Theogony of Hesiod; from the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides to the biographies of Suetonius and Plutarch and the pen portraits of Theophrastus; and from the comedies of Plautus to the the fictions of Petronius and Apuleius.
Of Gods and Men is embellished by translations from writers as diverse as Queen Elizabeth I (Boethius), Percy Bysshe Shelley (Plato), Walter Pater (Apuleius's Golden Ass), Lawrence of Arabia (Homer's Odyssey), Louis MacNeice (Aeschylus's Agamemnon) and Ted Hughes (Ovid's Pygmalion), as well as a number of accomplished translations by Daisy herself.

Killer in the Kremlin
An explosive account of Putin's presidency and his long-term ambitions, including first-hand reporting from the invasion of Ukraine.
A gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny, charting his rise from spy to tsar, exposing the events that led to his invasion of Ukraine and his assault on Europe.
In Killer in the Kremlin, award-winning journalist John Sweeney takes readers from the heart of Putin's Russia to the killing fields of Chechnya, to the embattled cities of an invaded Ukraine.
In a disturbing expose of Putin's sinister ambition, Sweeney draws on thirty years of his own reporting - from the Moscow apartment bombings to the atrocities committed by the Russian Army in Chechnya, to the annexation of Crimea and a confrontation with Putin over the shooting down of flight MH17 - to understand the true extent of Putin's long war.
Drawing on eyewitness accounts and compelling testimony from those who have suffered at Putin's hand, we see the heroism of the Russian opposition, the bravery of the Ukrainian resistance, and the brutality with which the Kremlin responds to such acts of defiance, assassinating or locking away its critics, and stopping at nothing to achieve its imperialist aims.
In the midst of one of the darkest acts of aggression in modern history - Russia's invasion of Ukraine - this book shines a light on Putin's rule and poses urgent questions about how the world must respond.

Lacná kniha In the Winter Dark (-70%)
When a man dreams things from the past, you'd think he'd be able to rearrange them in new sequences to please himself. But no. In my dreams, it all happens as it happened, and I see it and be it again and again and the confusion never wears off.

It is an isolated place, with a swamp and an old white bridge and the forest encroaching from all sides. The solitude is tangible. But when a mysterious creature is suddenly on the loose, killing livestock and preying on everyone's deepest fears, four inhabitants find themselves unexpectedly in one another's company with chilling results. 'Tim Winton's raw and vibrant language makes the senses jump ...concentrated, passionate, invigorating writing' Independent on Sunday 'A major work by anyone's standards ...mysterious, painful and beautiful' Washington Post
