Ako Island zmenil svet
Pútavé rozprávanie o tom, ako maličký ostrov uprostred Atlantiku po stáročia ovplyvňoval svet.
Dejiny Islandu sa začali pred 1 200 rokmi, keď istý frustrovaný vikinský kapitán a jeho neschopný navigátor narazili na súš uprostred severného Atlantiku. Odrazu ostrov nebol už len hniezdiskom rybárov dlhochvostých. Vyrástol na ňom národ, ktorého diplomati a hudobníci, námorníci a vojaci, sopky a rastliny nenápadne a nezvratne menili svet.
Táto kniha vezme čitateľov na kuriózne putovanie históriou, aby im ukázala úlohu Islandu v pestrej škále udalostí, ktoré hýbali dejinami - od Francúzskej revolúcie cez vznik štátu Izrael až po pristátie na Mesiaci. Malý národ malého ostrova sa znovu a znovu ocital v úzkom vzťahu s dejinnými zvratmi, ktoré formovali svet do podoby, v akej ho poznáme dnes. Dozviete sa, ako to všetko prebiehalo, a navyše sa pri tom výborne zabavíte!

Treasure island - Zrcadlová četba

Christmas at the Island Hotel
On the tiny Scottish island of Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual . . .
Flora MacKenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got over the death of his partner, Colton, and Flora thinks he needs a project.
The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Colton's passion project before he died. With Flora's help, Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for Christmas, transforming it into a festive haven of crackling log fires and delicious food. But running a hotel, they are about to discover, is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her.
Can they pull it together in time for the big opening?
And can Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?

In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement.
This is Jared Diamond's haunting account of visiting the mysterious stone statues of Easter Island, showing how a remote civilization destroyed itself by exploiting its own natural resources - and why we must heed this warning.

As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

The Island of Missing Trees
A rich, magical new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World - available for pre-order now
Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree. The fig tree witnesses their hushed, happy meetings; their silent, surreptitious departures. The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns - a botanist, looking for native species - looking, really, for Defne. The two lovers return to the taverna to take a clipping from the fig tree and smuggle it into their suitcase, bound for London. Years later, the fig tree in the garden is their daughter Ada's only knowledge of a home she has never visited, as she seeks to untangle years of secrets and silence, and find her place in the world.
The Island of Missing Trees is a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World.

The Island of Doctor Moreau
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
"That these man-like creatures were in truth only bestial monsters, mere grotesque travesties of men, filled me with a vague uncertainty of their possibilities far worse than any definite fear."
Edward Prendick, the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the South Pacific, is set ashore on an island where he meets the mysterious Doctor Moreau. Horrified by the discovery that Moreau is performing vivisection on animals to form monstrous human hybrids, Prendick flees into the jungle. But he soon realises that the island is populated with Moreau's terrible creations, and not all are divested of their savage habits . . .
H. G. Wells pioneered ideas of society, science and progress in his works, which are now considered modern classics. Written in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau is an imaginative exploration of the nature of cruelty and what it means to be human.

A Coney Island of the Mind
The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's "Into the Night Life" and expresses the way Lawrence Ferlinghetti felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950's-as if they were, taken together, a kind of Coney Island of the mind, a kind of circus of the soul.
