Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always - always - guard your heart.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
The Emperor of Evening Stars
Prequal to the darkly hypnotic Bargainer series!
In the beginning, there was darkness.
Before he met Callie, before he became the Bargainer, there was Desmond Flynn, the bastard son of a scribe. A boy born to a weak mother, cursed with little magic, and destined to marry a slave.
But fate had something else in mind.
Till darkness dies.
From the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia to the streets of earth, this is how Desmond Flynn, a fairy who began with nothing, became the Emperor of Evening Stars.
Markets and Staples in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom
This book discusses medieval markets and depots, places of commercial activity in the Kingdom of Hungary, and their many interactions, and how they developed and changed over time. The system went through many changes as new demands arose over the centuries, but permanence and characteristic feature. In the early Kingdom of Hungary only the king could hold markets, but clerical and secular landowners gradually aquired market rights in later times. The only prerogative retained by the king was the power to grant a franchise for a market. Kings may have created the institutional basis for trade, but markets followed their own course of development in the way operated.

Offspring, The - Rise and Fall, Rage And Grace: 15th Anniversary (Limited Edition) LP+Vinyl single
The Offspring je americká rocková skupina z Garden Grove v Kalifornii, založená v roku 1984.Pôvodne vznikla pod názvom Manic Subsidal, súčasnú zostavu kapely tvoria hlavný spevák a rytmický gitarista Bryan „Dexter“ Holland, hlavný gitarista Kevin „Noodles“ Wasserman, basgitarista Todd Morse a bubeník Brandon Pertzborn. Počas svojej 39-ročnej kariéry vydali Offspring desať štúdiových albumov a zažili aj množstvo zmien v zostave, najmä s bubeníkom. Ich najdlhšie slúžiacim bubeníkom bol Ron Welty, ktorý v roku 1987 nahradil pôvodného bubeníka Jamesa Lilju a zostal s Offspring 16 rokov. The Offspring sú často pripisované (spolu s ostatnými kalifornskými punkovými kapelami Green Day, NOFX, Bad Religion a Rancid) zásluhy za oživenie mainstreamového záujmu o punk rock v 90. rokoch. Celosvetovo predali viac ako 40 miliónov nahrávok, čo z nich robí jednu z najpredávanejších punkrockových kapiel v histórii. "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" je ôsmy štúdiový album The Offspring. Bol vydaný 17. júna 2008 v Spojených štátoch a o týždeň skôr v Japonsku. Je to prvý album skupiny od vydania albumu Splinter v roku 2003, prvý v spolupráci s producentom Bobom Rockom.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

Beatles, The - Now And Then LP Maxi Single
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.
„Now And Then“ je posledná pieseň Beatles, ktorú napísal John Lennon v polovici/koncom sedemdesiatych rokov. S Johnovým hlasom Now Pristine In The Mix obsahuje skladba „Now And Then“ prvky z relácií z roku 1995 vrátane gitarových partov Georgea Harrisona a vokálnych a inštrumentálnych partov, ktoré v roku 2022 nahrali Paul McCartney a Ringo Starr, spolu s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. „Now And Then“, produkovaná Paulom a Gilesom Martinom, je posledná pieseň nahraná všetkými štyrmi Beatles, silné a vhodné finále nadčasových nahrávok kapely.„Love Me Do“ je pieseň, ktorá to všetko začala, bola prvým britským singlom The Beatles v roku 1962. Po prvýkrát bola ikonická pieseň zmixovaná pomocou strojového učenia a remixovaná v skutočnom stereo. Skladba „Love Me Do“ odštartovala cestu The Beatles k bezkonkurenčnému celosvetovému úspechu a uznaniu, ktoré pretrváva dodnes.Dvojitý singel skupiny Beatles pre skladbu „Now And Then“ a „Love Me Do“ spája poslednú pieseň Beatles s prvým britským singlom kapely. Výkonné hudobné zarážky do kánonu nahraného The Beatles, obe piesne sú uvedené aj v nových rozšírených výročných edíciách.
