Vlk z Wall Street
Jachty, drogy, prostitútky, súkromné lietadlá, luxusné autá, peniaze... Tisíc. Stotisíc. Milión... Viac peňazí nikdy nie je dosť.
Cez deň zarábal tisíce dolárov za minútu. Počas noci ich míňal tak rýchlo, ako sa dalo. Doma ho čakala nádherná manželka a deti, zatiaľ čo v jeho firme Stratton Oakmont ho mladí burzoví makléri oslavovali ako svojho kráľa.
Tu je skutočný príbeh prekliateho génia Jordana Belforta, ktorý si vyslúžil prezývku Vlk z Wall Street. Od roku 1990 sa Belfort stal jedným zo smutne známych biznismenov v americkom finančnom svete – brilantný burzový macher, ktorý viedol svoju šťastnú bandu na divokej jazde von z Wall Street do obrovskej kancelárie na Long Island.
Je to neobyčajný príbeh lakomstva, moci a výstrednosti, ktorý nikto nemohol vymyslieť – príbeh obyčajného chlapíka, ktorý na Wall Street prišiel so siedmimi dolármi vo vrecku a obrovskou chuťou po bohatstve, vďaka ktorej našiel bočné cestičky ako zarábať stovky miliónov dolárov. Šialená cesta plná luxusu, drog, peňazí – až dovtedy, kým sa to všetko nezrútilo.

Lindbergh, Shadows on the Wall
“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” —Peter Lindbergh
With such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of photography history.
The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considers inhuman.
Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling,Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi.
His message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.

Fly on the Wall
From E. Lockhart, author of the New York Times bestseller and Zoella Book Club 2016 title, We Were Liars, comes a story about one girl who saw everything ...'I think this might be the best YA novel...I've ever read. It's hilarious, and it's so very smart. I mean, I'm serious...It's really amazing.' - John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars At the Manhattan School of Art and Music, where everyone is unique, Gretchen Yee feels ordinary. It doesn't help that she's known as the shy girl who sits alone at lunch, drawing pictures of her favourite superhero, just so she won't have to talk to anyone. It's no surprise that Gretchen isn't exactly successful in the boy department. Her ex-boyfriend is a cold-fish-sometimes-flirty ex who she can't stop bumping into. Plus, she has a massive crush on a boy named, Titus but is too scared to make the first move. One minute he seems like a sensitive guy, the next, he's a completely different person when he's with his friends. She can't seem to figure boys out! Gretchen has one wish: to be a fly on the wall in the boy's locker room. What are boys really like? What do they talk about? This is the story of how one girl's wish came true.

Writing on the Wall
Today we are endlessly connected: constantly tweeting, texting or e-mailing. This may seem unprecedented, yet it is not. Throughout history, information has been spread through social networks, with far-reaching social and political effects. Writing on the Wall reveals how an elaborate network of letter exchanges forewarned of power shifts in Cicero's Rome, while the torrent of tracts circulating in sixteenth-century Germany triggered the Reformation. Standage traces the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of social media over the past 2,000 years offering an illuminating perspective on the history of media, and revealing that social networks do not merely connect us today - they also link us to the past.

The Wall in the Middle of the Book
A foolish knight is certain that his side of the wall is the safe side in this clever, amusingly meta picture book by the acclaimed creator of It's Only Stanley
There's a wall in the middle of the book, and our hero--a young knight--is sure that the wall protects his side of the book from the dangers of the other side--like an angry tiger and giant rhino, and worst of all, an ogre who would gobble him up in a second! But our knight doesn't seem to notice the crocodile and growing sea of water that are emerging on his side. When he's almost over his head and calling for help, who will come to his rescue? An individual who isn't as dangerous as the knight thought--from a side of the book that might just have some positive things to offer after all!

Wall Street a boľševická revolúcia
Boľševická revolúcia z novembra 1917 patrí k tým udalostiam, ktoré najzásadnejšie zmenili chod dejín v priebehu 20. storočia. Kniha Antonyho C. Suttona ju čitateľovi predstavuje v úplne inom svetle, než ako ju vnímal doteraz. Revolúcia podľa autora nebola len vyústením pôsobenia vnútorných faktorov v Ruskom impériu, ale veľmi rozhodujúcim spôsobom do jej priebehu zasiahli aj medzinárodní finančníci. Kniha upriamuje pozornosť na fakt, že cestu Lenina a jeho revolucionárov zo Švajčiarska do Ruska v roku 1917 umožnil a financoval nemecký generálny štáb. Zdroje týchto nemeckých peňazí boli prevádzané cez banku Nya Banken, na čele ktorej v tom čase stál Olof Aschberg. Ten sa neskôr stal riaditeľom Ruskombank, prvej sovietskej medzinárodnej banky. Pozoruhodné súvislosti nachádza autor aj pri pobyte revolucionára Leva Trockého v USA a jeho návrate do Ruska, kde sa mienil zúčastniť na revolúcii. Úplne inú než humanitárnu interpretáciu v autorovom poňatí dostáva aj misia Amerického Červeného kríža, ktorá navštívila Rusko v priebehu roku 1917. Autor ukazuje, že v jej pozadí stál vplyvný bankár William Boyce Thompson a zúčastnili sa jej aj zástupcovia podnikov spätých s pôsobením Morgana a Rockefellera, ktorí spoločne dominovali nielen na Wall Street, ale aj v hospodárskej štruktúre Spojených štátov ako takých. Pred očami sa tak čitateľovi vynára fascinujúci príbeh ukrytý za historickou udalosťou, o ktorej si myslel, že o nej už všetko podstatné dávno vie.
Banksy The Man Behind the Wall
For someone who shuns the limelight so completely that he conceals his name, never shows his face and gives interviews only by email, Banksy is remarkably famous. From his beginnings as a Bristol graffiti artist, his artwork is now sold at auction for six-figure sums and hangs on celebrities' walls. The appearance of a new Banksy is national news, his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop was Oscar-nominated and people queue for hours to see his latest exhibition. Now more National Treasure than edgy outsider, who is Banksy and how did he become what he is today? In the first attempt to tell the full story of Banksy's life and career, Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together a picture of his world and unpicks its contradictions. Whether art or vandalism, anti-establishment or sell-out, Banksy and his work have become a cultural phenomenon and the question 'Who is Banksy?' is as much about his career as it is 'the man behind the wall'. 'Britain's unlikeliest national treasure' Independent 'A fascinating portrait that elicits admiration for a man who, despite his increasingly unconvincing efforts to retain some shred of his vandal status, has had an undeniable impact on art' The Times.

Banksy: The Man Behind the Wall
For someone who shuns the limelight by concealing his real name, never showing his face and never giving interviews except by email, Banksy is remarkably famous. In his home town of Bristol, in Los Angeles, in London, in New York, where there is a Banksy exhibition there is always a queue - often three hours long. His book of his art, Wall and Piece, has sold over a quarter of a million copies. Such is the commercial value of his work that people have hacked an entire wall off a building because it bears some of his graffiti. His popularity is such that councils who in the past saw him as a vandal whose work should be washed off the streets now hurry to protect it. But who is this man; how did he become what he is now; what makes him tick? How far can we get to know and understand someone who goes to such lengths to keep his distance from us? Now, in first ever biography of Banksy, Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together Banksy's life and builds up a picture of the world in which he operates. He talks to both his friends and enemies, those who knew him in his early un-noticed days and those who have watched him try to come to terms with his new-found fame and fortune, and asks what, ultimately, this enigmatic character and his life's work add up to.

Vlci z Wall Street: Ian
Ian Bradley je ukázkový příklad esa z Wall Streetu: nosí luxusní značkové obleky, má závratně vysoké příjmy a rohovou kancelář se skvělým výhledem na New York. Naplno pracuje a užívá si života plnými doušky. Ženy mu padají k nohám. Jenže teď se mu do cesty postaví jedna, která nejenže odolává jeho šarmu, ale ještě má tu moc dostat ho do kolen.
Lara McKenzieová je cílevědomá, mimořádně inteligentní dcera FBI agentů, vycházející hvězda v oblasti boje proti hospodářské kriminalitě. Její nejnovější případ – prošetření podezření, že se Ian Bradley dopustil zneužití informací v obchodním styku – by pro ni mohl znamenat výrazný posun v kariéře. Od pohledu pozná, kdo je darebák. A na Iana to bezvadně sedí: absurdně pohledný nafoukaný frajírek, chvastoun a sukničkář.
Udělá vše proto, aby prokázala jeho vinu. A on udělá vše, aby dokázal opak. Je však jen otázkou času, než se souboj myslí ocitne v osobní rovině a do hry vstoupí neobvykle silná přitažlivost. Ianův případ už pro Laru není jenom práce. A vše příjemné, co s ním souvisí, s sebou přináší nečekaná rizika.

Beyond the Wall: The East German Collection of the Wende Museum
Life behind the Iron Curtain. Art and artifacts from East Germany. The history book to make history. This groundbreaking volume features hundreds of GDR political artifacts, design pieces, and everyday objects from the Wende Museum, Los Angeles, established in 2002 to study the culture of the former Eastern Bloc. From high fashion photography to secret police surveillance equipment, this extraordinary collection reveals the full scope of human experience and potential in a now-vanished world. For 40 years, the Cold War dominated the world stage. East and West Germany stood at the frontlines of the global confrontation, symbolized by the infamous Berlin Wall, which separated friends, families, and countrymen. But while the world teetered on the edge, life went on in the communist East, as it did in the capitalist West. From the outside, it seemed that life behind the Iron Curtain was gray and dull, but beneath the surface of its faded buildings, it was filled with color, texture and deeply-held convictions. The Wende Museum in Los Angeles, California, named after the period of change following the destruction of the Berlin Wall, was created in 2002 to study the visual and material culture of the former Eastern Bloc. With physical and psychic distance from political trauma and personal attachment, it aims to foster multiple perspectives and interpretations of a pivotal and multilayered history that has continues to shape our world. To commemorate the Museum's 10-year anniversary, this unprecedented and encyclopedic volume features thousands of items from its extraordinary collections, including icons of East German design and political advertisement as well as everyday objects and images from a now-vanished world. Never before has a book included this full a spectrum of art, archives, and artifacts from socialist East Germany: official symbols and dissident expressions, the spectacular and the routine, the mass-produced and the handmade, the beautiful and the ugly, and the funny and the tragic. Accompanying the featured collections are illuminating and provocative texts from scholars and specialists from Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States (Paul Betts, Andreas Ludwig, Josie McLellan, Katherine Pence, Eli Rubin, Jana Scholze, Joes Segal, Edith Sheffer, David Thomson), with themes ranging from the secret police to sexuality, space flight to flight across the border, and from monuments to mental-mapping.

The Yellow Wall-Paper
'The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing.'Written with barely controlled fury after she was confined to her room for 'nerves' and forbidden to write, Gilman's pioneering feminist horror story scandalized nineteenth-century readers with its portrayal of a woman who loses her mind because she has literally nothing to do.Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935).
