The Gilded Crown
The Witch’s Heart meets The Foxglove King in this debut fantasy about a woman who can bring people back from the dead, and the princess she must protect, no matter the cost.
The first time Hellevir visited Death, she was ten years old…
Since she was a little girl, Hellevir has been able to raise the dead. Every creature can be saved for a price, a price demanded by the shrouded figure who rules the afterlife, who takes a little more from Hellevir with each soul she resurrects.
Such a gift can rarely remain a secret. When Princess Sullivain, sole heir to the kingdom’s throne, is assassinated, the Queen summons Hellevir to demand she bring her granddaughter back to life. But once is not enough; the killers might strike again. The Princess’ death would cause a civil war, so the Queen commands that Hellevir remain by her side.
But Sullivain is no easy woman to be bound to, even as Hellevir begins to fall in love with her. With the threat of war looming, Hellevir must trade more and more of herself to keep the princess alive.
But Death will always take what he is owed.

"The Story of Everything sa zrodil z pocitu frustrácie zo stavu vecí v Amerike v tomto momente. Ako slobodná matka cítim zodpovednosť voči svojim deťom hovoriť o naliehavých problémoch, ktoré formujú svet, ktorý po nás zdedia prostredníctvom mojej hudby. Cítil som, že toľko nádejí sprevádzalo nášho prvého černošského prezidenta do úradu, ale táto nádej sa zmenila na strach a rozdelenie. Môj starý priateľ Chuck D hovorí o histórii rasového boja a nerovnosti vo svojej hudbe už desaťročia. S Chuckom sme sa spoznali okolo roku 1994, v dňoch Rock the Vote. Je jedným z najvýznamnejších básnikov našej doby. A Gary Clark Jr, ktorý hrá na gitare na trati, vstal, aby urobil svoje vlastné divoké hudobné a spoločenské vyhlásenia".

The Hard Crowd
From the Booker-shortlisted author of The Mars Room, a career-spanning collection of spectacular essays about politics and culture.
Rachel Kushner is a writer celebrated for her 'chops, ambition, and killer instinct' (John Powers, Fresh Air). In The Hard Crowd, she gathers a selection of her writing from over the course of the last twenty years that addresses the most pressing political, artistic, and cultural issues of our times - and illuminates the themes and real-life terrain that underpin her fiction.
In nineteen razor-sharp essays, The Hard Crowd spans literary journalism, memoir, cultural criticism, and writing about art and literature, including pieces on Jeff Koons, Denis Johnson, and Marguerite Duras. Kushner takes us on a journey through a Palestinian refugee camp, an illegal motorcycle race down the Baja Peninsula, 1970s wildcat strikes in Fiat factories, her love of classic cars, and her young life in the music scene of her hometown, San Francisco. The closing, eponymous essay is her manifesto on nostalgia, doom, and writing.
These pieces, new and old, are electric, phosphorescently vivid, and wry, and they provide an opportunity to witness the evolution and range of one of the world's most dazzling and fearless writers.
The Cantankerous Crow
The most maddening crow in world history is out to cause trouble! He can't resist the farmer's cherries - and one day he gest caught. The farmer tries to punish the crow with hard labour, but the crow only causes a lot of bother. Then the farmer tries to sell the crow at the market, but who wants to buy a troublesome crow?

The Crowdsourceress
In the past year, crowdfunding platforms helped generate a staggering $34 billion dollars in funding. But the harsh reality is that the majority of crowdfunding campaigns fail-only 40% meet their goals. And failing means failing hard. If you fall short of your goal by the deadline, not only won't you see any of the money you've worked so hard to raise, but you might actually tarnish your shiny idea. Alex Daly is a hugely successful crowdfunding expert who has run some of Kickstarter's biggest campaigns, from TLC's new album to Neil Young's music player to Joan Didion's documentary "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live." In this book, she shows you how to: * Build a deep fan base prior to launch * Understand the psychology of why people give and create the right narrative around your project * Find the right platform on which to raise funds * Deal with unfulfilled promises and angry backers * Create intimacy and promote shareability of your project * Best use influence and exclusivity to get funded. Woven throughout is Alex's own entrepreneurial story-the unconventional career path she took to ultimately start her business, Vann Alexandra, thanks to crowdfunding.And she will take readers deep into her most successful campaigns, showing them how she helped them get funded. As someone who's spent lots of time in the trenches, she has learned the hard way how to communicate and connect with people on the Internet-and offers tangible tools to run your own crowdfunding campaigns. Above all, this is a book about how to fully connect with the crowd, get people to pay attention, and inspire them to act.

Rudolf Nureyev: The Life (Film Tie-in for The White Crow)
Born on a train in Stalin's Russia, Rudolf Nureyev was ballet's first pop icon. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement - both on and off stage.
Nureyev's achievements and conquests became legendary: he rose out of Tatar peasant poverty to become the Kirov's thrilling maverick star; slept with his beloved mentor's wife; defected to the West in 1961; sparked Rudimania across the globe; established the most rhapsodic partnership in dance history with the middle-aged Margot Fonteyn; reinvented male technique; gatecrashed modern dance; moulded new stars; and staged Russia's unknown ballet masterpieces in the West. He and his life were simply astonishing.

Beatles, The - The Blue Album 1967 - 1970 (2023 Edition) 2CD
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola kolekcia rozšírená o 9 ďalších skladieb, vrátane „Blackbird“, „Glass Onion“ a novej piesne „Now And Then“. The Last Beatles Song, „Now And Then“ dopĺňa demo nahrávku Johna Lennona vokálu a klavíra zo 70. rokov s časťami, ktoré hrali Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr, ako aj s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. Kolekcia 2CD teraz obsahuje 37 skladieb, z ktorých 6 má nové mixy na rok 2023. Brožúra obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia 1966 – 1970 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.
