Lacná kniha Tajomstvo Gray Mountain (-70%)
V roku 2008 americké megafirmy hromadne prepúšťajú, aby sa udržali nad vodou aj počas finančnej krízy. Mladá právnička Samantha Koferová však s výpoveďou dostane aj netradičnú ponuku – ak príjme prácu v neziskovej organizácii, po roku sa môže vrátiť. A tak nedobrovoľne odchádza do virgínskeho mestečka Brady, ďaleko od Washingtonu a New Yorku, kde doteraz žila.
Samantha sa ocitá vo svete ovládanom veľkými banskými spoločnosťami, ktoré rozhodujú o bytí a nebytí tamojších obyvateľov, dozvedá sa o ich nekalých praktikách a bezohľadnom drancovaní prírody. Nelegálne skládky uhoľného kalu, ekologické katastrofy, úmrtia, to je len zlomok hrôzy, ktorú majú tieto spoločnosti na svedomí. Šanca na zastavenie ich činnosti či odškodnenie postihnutých rodín je mizivá. Samantha sa postupne stáva stredobodom pozornosti pochybných indivíduí najatých banskou spoločnosťou. Do hry vstupujú usvedčujúce dokumenty – ukradnuté materiály s citlivými informáciami – a situácia sa vyostruje. O život prichádzajú ďalší nevinní.

Cold Mountain
Mladá a krásná Ada Monroeová následuje svého otce, který je duchovním, do zapadlé osady pod Cold Mountain a netuší, jak těžké časy ji čekají. Když se zamiluje do místního mladíka Inmana, vypadá všechno ještě jako idyla. Jenže Inman musí narukovat do
americké občanské války a Adin otec nečekaně zemře. Ada se sama stará o velkou farmu a brzy zjistí, že hospodařit neumí. Naštěstí se objeví praktická a životem otřískaná Ruby, která se k ní nastěhuje. Naučí Adu farmařit a obě dívky v těžkých časech s
polečně přežívají, jak se dá. Inman se zatím rozhodne zběhnout z války a poháněn vidinou šťastného života po boku Ady se vydá na dlouhou cestu do kraje pod Cold Mountain. Jeho putování se podobá Odysseově návratu domů a podobně jako bájného reka také
Inmana čeká spousta nástrah. Pozná lidské utrpení a záludnost v nesčetných podobách, ale i sílu obětavosti a nezištné pomoci. Když se konečně ocitne nadosah milované Adě, ukáže se, že nic není tak jednoduché. Román Charlese Fraziera získal několik l
iterárních ocenění včetně prestižní National Book Award a je řazen mezi stěžejní díla moderní americké literatury. Jeho dnes už legendární filmová adaptace režiséra Anthonyho Minghelly (česky Návrat do Cold Mountain) s Nicole Kidmanovou, Renée Zellwe

Mountain House
A photographic study of more than twenty houses and the mountain landscapes, from alpine forests to urban peaks, that embrace them.
Spanning continents and climates, the twenty homes presented in interior designer Nina Freudenberger's latest book challenge and expand the idea of what a mountain house might be. Artist retreats in Morocco's High Atlas and the snowy folds of the Engadine Valley in Switzerland speak to the long tradition of mountains spaces for contemplation and creation, while modernist masterworks in Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro expand the traditional image of log cabins and rustic chalets.
Depicted in over 200 images, these houses include brutalist lodges, clapboard cottages, and minimalist prisms set down among some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. In their spectacular diversity, they express the radical ingenuity and stunning creativity that the mountains have always inspired.
Lacná kniha Invisible Mountain (-90%)
The sweep of a century, the hand of history, three women whose lives will never be the same again. As the twentieth century dawns, so begins one of the most dramatic periods in the history of South America. Women are emancipated, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro free Cuba, the Perons take power in Argentina, and three generations of Firielli women are to live, love, and fight for their independence and freedom. Pajarita is the founder of the dynasty, born into a rural village and constantly chafing against its narrow confines. A love-match with a circus performer offers her escape, but she is trapped in a cage of another sort when her husband becomes a monster. Her spirited daughter, Eva, enters a world shaken by revolution. Fleeing childhood abuse, and alienated from her mother, she heads to Buenos Aires, but the glittering circles she moves in cannot erase the memories of her past. Her daughter, Salome, driven by political passion becomes a guerrilla fighter, but her idealism turns to tragedy when she is captured, and brutalised.
From bohemian Buenos Aires to the hills of Rio de Janeiro; from tangos to demonstrations; from the broad sweep of history to the intimate lives of the Fierelli family, THE INVISIBLE MOUNTAIN traverses a changing South America, in which some things - love, family, hope - continue forever.

The High Mountain Court
Full of romance, intrigue, magic, and passion, the first book of The Five Crowns of Okrith—the thrilling TikTok sensation from A.K. Mulford—The High Mountain Court begins the journey of the fugitive red witch Remy as she fights to reclaim her kingdom and discover what’s inside her heart.
For thirteen years, nineteen-year-old Remy has known she is possibly the last red witch alive, and she is determined to stay that way. But the Northern Court King, who has slaughtered her family and placed a bounty on red witch heads, is intent on destroying her kind once and for all.
When four fae warriors enter her tavern refuge, Remy tries to flee, but her magic isn’t strong enough to stop the determined—and handsome—Prince Hale of the Eastern Kingdom. He claims he wants to stop a war with the Northern Court before his kingdom succumbs to the same fate as Remy’s. In order to do that, he needs a red witch…and Remy may be the only person alive who can help him.
Yet even as she’s drawn to him, can she really trust Prince Hale? Can her fallen court truly be rescued from the evil clutches of the Northern Court King?
Does she even have a choice?
For the chance to save herself, her people, and help rid the world of a murderous tyrant, Remy must put her faith in Hale and his companions on a dangerous quest to find lost relics…and discover if she is ready to secure her legacy.
In The Shadow of the Mountain
YOU DON'T CONQUER A MOUNTAIN. YOU SURRENDER TO IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.
Despite a high-flying career, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado knew she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, and hiding her sexuality from her family, she was repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child.
When her mother called her home to Peru, she knew something finally had to change. It did. Silvia began to climb.
Something about the sheer size of the mountains, the vast emptiness and the nearness of death, woke her up. And then, she took her biggest pain to the biggest mountain: Everest. The 'Mother of the World' allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn't go alone. Trekking with her to Base Camp, were five troubled young women on an odyssey that helped each confront their personal trauma, and whose strength and community propelled Silvia forward...
Beautifully written and deeply moving, In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of compassion, humility, and strength, inspiring us all to find have faith in our own heroism and resilience.

The Mountain in the Sea
There are creatures in the water of Con Dao.
To the locals, they're monsters.
To the corporate owners of the island, an opportunity.
To the team of three sent to study them, a revelation.
Their minds are unlike ours.
Their bodies are malleable, transformable, shifting.
They can communicate.
And they want us to leave.
When pioneering marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen is offered the chance to travel to the remote Con Dao Archipelago to investigate a highly intelligent, dangerous octopus species, she doesn't pause long enough to look at the fine print. DIANIMA- a transnational tech corporation best known for its groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence - has purchased the islands, evacuated their population and sealed the archipelago off from the world so that Nguyen can focus on her research.
But the stakes are high: the octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extrahuman intelligence and there are vast fortunes to be made by whoever can take advantage of their advancements. And no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. And what they might do about it.

The Moth and the Mountain
The untold story of Britain's most mysterious mountaineering legend - Maurice Wilson - and his heroic attempt to climb Everest. Alone.
In the 1930s, as official government expeditions set their sights on conquering Everest, a little-known World War I veteran named Maurice Wilson conceived his own crazy, beautiful plan: he would fly a Gipsy Moth aeroplane from England to Everest, crash land on its lower slopes, then become the first person to reach its summit - all utterly alone. Wilson didn't know how to climb. He barely knew how to fly. But he had pluck, daring and a vision - he wanted to be the first man to stand on top of the world.
Maurice Wilson is a man written out of the history books - dismissed as an eccentric and a charlatan by many, but held in the highest regard by world class mountaineers such as Reinhold Messner. The Moth and the Mountain restores him to his rightful place in the annals of Everest and in doing so attempts to answer that perennial question - why do we climb mountains?
Three Tigers, One Mountain
Two tigers cannot share the same mountain - Chinese proverb
Despite geographical proximity, cultural similarities, and shared status as highly powerful nations, China, Korea and Japan love to hate each other. Why?
In search of an answer, Michael Booth journeys across East Asia to explore the mutual animosity that frequently threatens to draw the world into all-out war. From misjudged cake decorations to electoral meddling, contradictory origin myths to territorial disputes, this deeply researched and hugely entertaining book shows that no conflict is too small to keep the fires of neighbourly hostility burning.

The Second Mountain
Are you on your first or second mountain? Is life about yourself or others? Are you self-improving or committed? Mainstream culture teaches us that human beings pursue our self-interest - money, power, fame. But at some point in our life we might discover that we're not interested in what other people tell us to want. We want to want the things that are truly worthy of wanting.
At this point, you have moved to your second mountain. What does it mean to elevate your desires, to look beyond consumption and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to want intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us, and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring, personal and full of joy, this is the start of a deeper journey into the world.
