KDO: Britskou skupinu Genesis lze považovat za pionýry progresivního rocku. Kapela se zformovala v roce 1967, její sestava se měnila, do roku 1975 v ní působil i Peter Gabriel. Nejstabilnější a komerčně nejúspěšnější složení tvořili Phil Collins, Tony Banks a Mike Rutherford. Genesis debutovali deskou From Genesis To Revelation (1968), významnějšího úspěchu se dočkali ale až se čtvrtým albem Foxtrot (1972). Od začátku vsázeli na působivá živá vystoupení s divadelními kostýmy. S prodejem přesahujícím 100 milionů nosičů dnes patří k nejúspěšnějším projektům hudební historie. Získali řadu ocenění včetně Grammy. V roce 2010 byli Genesis přijati do Rock’n’rollové Síně slávy.

Heights
'Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down... this is an author at the top of her game' Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall
He thinks he's safe up there.
But he'll never be safe from you.
The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among the warehouses of Tower Bridge, its roof terrace so discreet you wouldn't know it existed if you weren't standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that's when you see a man up there - a man you'd recognize anywhere. He's older now and his appearance has subtly changed, but it's definitely him.
Which makes no sense at all since you know he has been dead for over two years.
You know this for a fact.
Because you're the one who killed him.
'There's nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly' Jane Corry, author of The Lies We Tell
'No one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise Candlish. I'd expected her to do this, and to provide a great sense of place, and twists that would have been rifling through the book to see how they'd been done. What I wasn't expecting was that this thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended' Sarah Vaughan, author of Little Disasters
'It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by Louise Candlish is the very definition of a "just one more chapter" novel. I devoured it. And it's full of such great writing about the ferocity of maternal love' Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You
Praise for Louise Candlish:
'Louise Candlish is the queen of the sucker-punch twist' Ruth Ware
'Louise is the mistress of the "Oh my God, this could be me" nightmare' Fiona Barton

Zatrpknutý Heathcliff je po zrade odhodlaný pomstiť sa nasledujúcej generácii a prinútiť nevinných dedičov čeliť osudnej minulosti.

The Common Reader
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out' In the first volume of her critical essays, Virginia Woolf discusses the greatest authors of the literary canon - Jane Austen, George Eliot and Geoffrey Chaucer among others - with the everyday, 'common reader' in mind. With wit and insight, Woolf also revisits classic novels and examines scholarly subjects, from the Greek language to the Modern Essay, to the Bronte's Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
First published in 1925, The Common Reader is a stunning work from one of the most perceptive minds of the twentieth century, a collection which continues to nurture the joys of literature and reading to this day.
Rave New World
Inspired by media lies to start writing the truth about what he saw unfolding, Kirk became a 'raving' reporter for the clubbers' bible Mixmag, covering the historic parties from the inside and sending sweat-soaked dispatches from distant dancefloors as the scene expanded across Europe and beyond. With a cast of characters including Diego Maradona, Timothy Leary, the KLF, Michael Eavis, Genesis P-Orridge, Brigitte Nielsen, Boris Yeltsin, Boy George, Saddam Hussein's wife, the president of Tunisia, the CIA, the KGB, Dave Courtney, Norman Lamont's dominatrix and even Her Majesty the Queen, Kirk's whirlwind account of the golden age of clubbing tells the story of what really happened in the 'naughty '90s', exposing the seedy underbelly of rave culture while also capturing the nostalgic spirit of the era. Told through a mixture of vivid first-person narrative, surreal insider anecdotes and incisive social commentary, this honest, hilarious and uncensored postcard of hedonism will appeal to anyone who's ever put their hands in the air like they just don't care.

Stála som pri bráne neba a pekla
Svedectvo umierania a osobného súdu Dr. Glorie Polo poznám viac ako osem rokov. Som veľmi rád, že som sa s ňou mohol stretnúť osobne, keď prijala pozvanie do mojej bývalej slovensko--americkej farnosti sv. Cyrila a Metoda v Sterling Heights, štát Michigan. Na jej svedectvo prišlo množstvo ľudí, ktorí sa do kostola ani nezmestili. Všetci sme boli dotknutí jej expresívnym prejavom. Svedectvo, ktoré s plačom rozprávala už mnohokrát, akoby prežívala znova a znova. Robí to na príkaz Pána Ježiša, ktorý jej dal druhú šancu a posielajúc ju späť na Zem povedal, že toto svedectvo bude hovoriť tisíckrát tisíc ráz. Je to vlastne životná spoveď ako varovanie a povzbudenie pre všetkých nás.
Na mňa urobila veľký dojem tiež ovocím viditeľného obrátenia; svojou nepredstieranou pokorou a skromnosťou, pôstom i modlitbou, ktoré teraz žije. Napriek vyčerpanosti z cestovania bola trpezlivá a vľúdna ku všetkým, ktorí chceli s ňou rozprávať alebo urobiť fotografiu. Na svoje svedectvo si nenárokuje autorské práva - nezarába na ňom.
Toto druhé rozšírené vydanie je obohatené o dokumenty z nemocníc i vtedajších novín, ktoré uverejnili zásah bleskom.

Hidden Potential
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights.
We live in a world that's obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distances we ourselves can travel. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn't knock, there are ways to build a door.
Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid story-telling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess - it's about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the charac-ter skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.
This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you've reached, but how far you've climbed to get there.
Making It So
The long-awaited memoir from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart! From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations with his indelible command of stage and screen. Now, he presents his long-awaited memoir, MAKING IT SO, a revealing portrait of an artist whose astonishing life-from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim-proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.
What's Good
What's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis, a set of freewheeling liner notes, and a love letter to the most vital American art form of the last half century. Over a series of short chapters, each centered on a different lyric, Daniel Levin Becker considers how rap's use of language operates and evolves at levels ranging from the local (slang, rhyme) to the analytical (quotation, transcription) to the philosophical (morality, criticism, irony), celebrating the pleasures and perils of any attempt to decipher its meaning-making technologies.
Ranging from Sugarhill Gang to UGK to Young M.A, Rakim to Rick Ross to Rae Sremmurd, Jay-Z to Drake to Snoop Dogg, What's Good reads with the momentum of a deftly curated mixtape, drawing you into the conversation and teaching you to read it as it goes. A book for committed hip-hop heads, curious neophytes, armchair linguists, and everyone in between.
