Ukradený Caravaggio
Nejlepší způsob, jak najít ukradené umělecké dílo, je ukrást jiné…
Gabriel Allon právě restauruje v Benátkách Veronesův oltář, když si ho náhle předvolá italská policie. Výstřední londýnský prodejce umění Julian Isherwood se připletl k chladnokrevné vraždě u jezera Como a je zadržován jako podezřelý. Aby Gabriel dostal přítele ze spárů policie, musí najít jak skutečné vrahy, tak ukradený proslulý obraz Narození se svatým Františkem a svatým Vavřincem známého barokního malíře Caravaggia.
Zavražděným je bývalý britský agent, který měl svá tajemství: obchodoval s ukradenými uměleckými díly a prodával je záhadným sběratelům. Gabriel Allon se vydává na nebezpečnou honbu za Caravaggiovým obrazem a odhalením totožnosti tajemného sběratele. Jeho hledání ho zavede na různá místa po celém světě, až se dostane do malé soukromé banky v Rakousku, kde nebezpečný muž stráží nečestně získané bohatství nemilosrdného diktátora. A po jeho boku stojí statečná mladá žena, která přežila nejhorší masakr dvacátého století.
Teď – s Gabrielovou pomocí – dostane šanci zasadit ránu tomu, kdo zničil její rodinu.

This Is Your Mind On Plants
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
'It's a trip - engrossing, eye-opening, mind altering' New Statesman
'Fascinating. Pollan is the perfect guide ... curious, careful, open minded' The Guardian
Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos.
In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.
This Day

Laura is about finally discover what it means to be married to the most dangerous man in Italy.
No One Is Talking About This
This is a story about a life lived in two halves.
It's about what happens when real life collides with the increasing absurdity of a world accessed through a screen.
It's about living in world that contains both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.
It's a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.
This Is How You Fall In Love
Zara and Adnan are just friends. Always have been, always will be. Even if they have to pretend to be girlfriend and boyfriend...
Zara loves love in all forms: 90s romcoms and romance novels and grand sweeping gestures. And she's desperate to have her own great love story. Crucially, a real one. So when her best friend Adnan begs her to pretend to date him to cover up his new top-secret relationship, Zara is hesitant. This isn't the kind of thing she had in mind. But there's something in it for Zara too: making her parents, who love Adnan, happy might just stop them arguing for a while. She may not be getting her own love story, but she could save theirs.
So Zara agrees and the act begins: after all, how different can pretending to be in a relationship with your best friend be to just hanging around with them like usual? Turns out, a lot. With fake dating comes fake hand-holding and fake kissing and real feelings... And when a new boy turns up in Zara's life, things get more confusing than ever.
The course of true love never did run smooth, but Zara's love story is messier than most...
A hilarious and heartfelt romcom, told with a light touch, perfect for fans of TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, EXCUSE ME WHILE I UGLY CRY and HANI AND ISHU'S GUIDE TO FAKE DATING.
Nullánál is kevesebb - Helikon Zsebkönyvek 126.
"Nem akarom, hogy izgasson bármi is. Ha izgatnak a dolgok, akkor csak rosszabb lesz, akkor csak még valami miatt kell aggódnom. Nem annyira fájdalmas, ha nem izgat semmi."
Bret Easton Ellis, a kortárs amerikai próza egyik legjelentősebb szerzője mindössze huszonegy éves volt, amikor 1985-ben megjelent első könyve, a Nullánál is kevesebb. A regény szinte azonnal kultikussá vált, 1987-ben filmet is forgattak belőle. Szereplői dúsgazdag Los Angeles-i családok gyerekei, akik gond- és céltalanul tengődnek hedonizmus és nihilizmus határvidékén - unatkozó fiatalok, akiknek mindennapjai a semmitmondó fecsegés, az egymást érő bulik, a drogok és az érzelmek nélküli szex jegyében telnek. A Nullánál is kevesebb megrázó, változatlanul aktuális bemutatása az érzelmi kiüresedés kollektív drámájának - és már felsejlenek benne mindazon (ön)pusztító indulatok, melyeket a szerző későbbi brutális remekművében, az Amerikai psychóban enged majd igazán szabadjára.

This Woven Kingdom
Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author Tahereh Mafi.
This Side of Paradise (EN)
Audiobook This Side of Paradise written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. First published in 1920, This Side of Paradise proved to be a best-selling novel in Fitzgerald’s own lifetime. The book follows the early life and education of Amory Blaine and is, in fact, a thinly disguised account of Fitzgerald’s own experience as an undergraduate at Princeton and as an aspiring writer.

This Girl Is on Fire
Andrea McLean, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author and award-winning TV broadcaster, opens up about her journey from trauma, toxic relationships and divorce towards empowerment, happiness and healing.
Do you ever feel like you're just existing, not truly living? Do you often dwell on how unfair life can be, and how things haven't worked out the way you planned? We've all been there. But it's time to decide what YOU are going to DO about it. No matter what hand you've been dealt, it's in your power to take control and create a life alight with possibility and joy.
After walking away from an abusive relationship, Andrea McLean continued putting on a brave face and pretending that everything was fine - all the while ignoring the psychological fallout of her trauma. Finally, it came time to say 'enough!' It was time to make a change.
In This Girl Is On Fire, Andrea shares her journey to healing, along with universal lessons in overcoming past trauma, breakdown, burnout and more. Even more vitally, she lights the path towards finding what gets our blood pumping, our eyes shining, and makes us get up in the morning - what sets us on fire.
This is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch
For fans of Caitlin Moran and Anne Helen Petersen, this is an exceptionally funny memoir and manifesto about what it's like to reclaim your sense of joy and discovery in midlife (even when it takes the form of strange-looking actors with funny names).
Tabitha was a perfectly normal, 40-ish year-old new mother when she became completely and utterly infatuated with British actor, Benedict Cumberbatch.
But, as the title suggests, this isn't about him. Rather Tabitha uses it as a springboard to bring into question and examine women and identity, female pleasure, intimacy and desire. In the process, she realises her obsession isn't the problem - far from it, in fact. Rather, it's the solution.
Brilliantly executed with a joyous message at its core, This is Not A Book About Benedict Cumberbatch is a welcome reminder for all women to find what you like, make space for it, then love it without shame, fear or apology.
Ultra. Proč je noc černá. Why The Night is Black
Kniha skutečných příběhů „posledních“ nejvýznamnějších kanibalských Papuánských náčelníků a autentický záznam komunikace při symbolickém „Posledním Prvním Kontaktu“.
Po tisíciletí byly takového příběhy předávány z generace na generaci pouze verbálně. Tato kniha /bohatě doplněných černobílými fotografiemi/ je první zaznamenaný materiál přepsaných autentických nahrávek rozhovorů s posledními přírodními lidmi doby kamenné předtím, než je navždy změní globalizace. Všichni mluví v první osobě a popisují své skutečné zážitky, neboť v džungli se nerozlišuje (západním úhlem pohledu) přirozené od nadpřirozeného. Všechno je reálné.
Až dosud bývaly „první kontakty“ věcí moci, násilí, zvětšování teritorií a území vlivu, /ale naše země nikdy nekolonizovala jiné/ a o dnes již zaniklých animistických kulturách se zachovala svědectví prospektorů, misionářů, vojáků a antropologů, aniž domorodci vyprávějí sami o sobě. První kontakt s posledními přírodními národy až dosud nikdy neučinili umělci, přestože jde o "Setkání kultur"....
Jedná se rozšířenou verzi knihy Proč je noc černá, jejíž první vydání roku 2005 získalo cenu Magnesia Litera za objev roku.
A book of true stories told by the ‘last’ prominent cannibal Papuan tribal chiefs and the authentic record of communication during the symbolic ‘Final First Contact’.
For thousands of years, stories like these have been part of the tribes’ oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. This book /richly supplemented with black and white photographs/ is the first ever transcription of authentic recorded interviews, conducted with the final indigenous tribespeople before their primeval culture is forever changed by globalisation. The first-person accounts describe the tribesmen’s true stories, at least from their point of view: for them, there is no distinction between the natural and the supernatural – everything is equally real.
Until now, ‘first contacts’ have been a matter of power, violence, the expansion of territories and spheres of influence /but our country has never colonized others/ and there are testimonies of prospectors, missionaries, soldiers, and anthropologists about the now extinct animist cultures, without the natives telling their own stories. The first contact with the last natural nations had never previously been made by artists, despite the fact that it was a Meeting of Cultures…
This is an expanded version of the book Why the Night is Black, the first edition of which won the 2005 Magnesia Litera Award for Discovery of the Year.
