The Freelance Way
Největší bestseller Melvilu vydaný po roce 2016 míří do světa! Kniha Roberta Vlacha Na volné noze: Podnikejte jako profesionálové byla v roce 2017 naší nejúspěšnější novinkou co do prodejů i hodnocení čtenářů: Heuréka 95 %, Kosmas 96 %, Dobrovský 94 %, Martinus 92 %, Goodreads 90 %, Alza 96 %, Zboží.cz 95 % atd. A protože freelancing (neboli podnikání na volné noze) je celosvětový fenomén, který Robertova kniha rozebírá do větší hloubky i šíře než zahraniční tituly, rozhodli jsme se ji vydat také v angličtině a dalších jazycích.
Robert knihu přepracoval pro mezinárodní čtenářské publikum a přidal přes 350 změn, obrázků, cvičení, zdrojů a příkladů ze světa včetně doporučení, která mu exkluzivně zaslali světoví autoři David Allen (GTD), David H. Hansson (Basecamp, Restart), Adam Grant (Dávat a brát) a Austin Kleon (Ukaž, co děláš). Úvodní část zkrátil a výsledný rukopis je o třetinu kratší než 760stránková česká předloha.
Oslovili jsme zkušeného překladatele Erika Pipera, který jako rodilý mluvčí rukopis převedl do svěží soudobé angličtiny, přičemž zachoval styl a ducha originálu. Na textu dále pracoval americký editor Scott Hudson, a aby toho nebylo málo, Robert ještě přizval tucet zkušených freelancerů z půlky světa na závěrečnou oponenturu. Výsledkem je strhující odborná kniha, která se čte jako po másle.

Love Design
Love and design have more in common than one might think at first glance: they can both break old habits and shape new ways in our day-to-day lives, they can both be exhilarating, a true revelation, but also potentially disrupting, both individually and collectively, and they can both have the power to make us see the world in a new light. Love Design explores the multifaceted relationship between design and the scope of emotions generally associated with the feeling called love, be it affection, desire, pleasure and romance, but also jealousy, distance, separation or pain. Over a hundred designers united here present a selection of new and usual products and special editions, in categories such as fine textile, sound wave jewelry, blushing lighting, erotic tableware, lover's furniture and more surprising delights - all objects specifically designed to enhance (or distort) our pleasurable sense of togetherness in every possible and impossible way. The book Love Design will be released on the occasion of the Love Design exhibition running parallel to the Milan Furniture Fair 2009.

Crash
The definitive cult, post-modern novel - a shocking blend of violence, transgression and eroticism. When Ballard, our narrator, smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, his sense of sexual possibilities in the world around him becomes detached. As he begins an affair with the dead man's wife, he finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled impacts of car crashes. Then he encounters Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, who has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of auto-erotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But Vaughan craves the ultimate crash - a head-on collision of blood, semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity. First published in 1973 Crash remains one of the most shocking novels of the second half of the twentieth century and was made into an equally controversial film by David Cronenberg. Ballard,s autobiography Miracles of Life was published in 2008 and Extreme Metaphors, a collection of interviews with the author, is due out in 2012.

The Beauty Of The Husband
Since Glass and God, which was her first full-length collection published in Britain and which was nominated for the 1998 Forward Prize, Anne Carson has published a book a year to extraordinary critical acclaim. Her last two volumes, Autobiography of Red and Men in the Off Hours were both shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, and she has received numerous North American awards, including the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship.
In her brilliant new book, she tells a single story. A long-time love, now a crumbling marriage, unfolds in 29 'tangos' of narrative verse, informed by the romanticism of Keats, the wisdom of the classical world and, most importatnly, by Carson's own unique sensibility.
The unnamed narrator - sometimes 'I', sometimes 'the wife' - speaks of the man she calls only 'the husband', illuminating moments that are by turn sensual, erotic, painful and heartbreaking. The Beauty of the Husband is a work that explores these oldest of lyrical subjects - beauty, desire, love, betrayal - with freshness and devastating power.

Mrs. Fletcher
New York Times bestseller!
From the bestselling author of The Leftovers and Little Children comes a penetrating and hilarious new novel about sex, love, and identity on the frontlines of America’s culture wars.
Eve Fletcher is trying to figure out what comes next. A forty-six-year-old divorcee whose beloved only child has just left for college, Eve is struggling to adjust to her empty nest when one night her phone lights up with a text message. Sent from an anonymous number, the mysterious sender tells Eve, “U R my MILF!” Over the months that follow, that message comes to obsess Eve. While leading her all-too-placid life—serving as Executive Director of the local senior center by day and taking a community college course on Gender and Society at night—Eve can’t curtail her own interest in a porn website called MILFateria.com, which features the erotic exploits of ordinary, middle-aged women like herself. Before long, Eve’s online fixations begin to spill over into real life, revealing new romantic possibilities that threaten to upend her quiet suburban existence.
Meanwhile, miles away at the state college, Eve’s son Brendan—a jock and aspiring frat boy—discovers that his new campus isn’t nearly as welcoming to his hard-partying lifestyle as he had imagined. Only a few weeks into his freshman year, Brendan is floundering in a college environment that challenges his white-dude privilege and shames him for his outmoded, chauvinistic ideas of sex. As the New England autumn turns cold, both mother and son find themselves enmeshed in morally fraught situations that come to a head on one fateful November night.
Sharp, witty, and provocative, Mrs. Fletcher is a timeless examination of sexuality, identity, parenthood, and the big clarifying mistakes people can make when they’re no longer sure of who they are or where they belong.

Modigliani élete
Festőgéniuszok a szereplői az új regénysorozat első köteteinek. Mindannyian tehetségesek voltak, de nem mindig sikeresek. Némelyikük élete kész kaland, mások bánatok, csalódások, olykor tragédiák közepette éltek, de semmi sem vette el kedvüket a világ szépségeinek megörökítésétől. Az izgalmas, olvasmányos életrajzi regények az ő alakjukat idézik meg, művészetük és sorsuk összefonódását mutatják be.
Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920) a női aktok és a hosszúkás arcú, melankolikus kisugárzású portrék festője.
A szenvedélyes, jóképű férfi, aki számtalan szerelmi kalanddal dicsekedhetett, rövid életében maradandót alkotott. Az "utolsó igazi bohémnak" tartott festő műveiben a toszkán festészet hagyományai ötvöződnek a modern francia képzőművészeti törekvésekkel. Alakjaiból kecses szépség és megkapó erotika árad.

Sex on Show
The Greeks and Romans were not shy about sex. Drinking cups, oil-lamps and walls were decorated with scenes of seduction and sexual intercourse which make the modern viewer blush; models of penises were worn around the neck or hung from doorways. In classical Greece, statues of erect penises served as boundary-stones and signposts. In Rome, marble satyrs and nymphs grappled in gardens. How are we to make sense of this abundance of sexual imagery? Were these images seductive, shocking, humorous? Were they about sex or love? And what and how do we learn from them? Sex on Show answers these questions by embracing ancient attitudes to religion, politics, sex and gender to examine how the ancient saw themselves and their world. Covering the sixth century BC to the fourth century AD, as well as some Neoclassical art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Sex on Show uses detailed visual analysis to bring new insights to Greek and Roman culture and to the meaning of erotic imagery, past and present. This is not simply a book about sexual practice or social history. It is a visual history about what it meant and still means to stare sex in the face.

Al Dente
Imagine the River Tiber as an alimentary tract. Picture a hungry saint. Think of erotic Renaissance fruit paintings, transubstantiation and a tiramisu cafe where magic is surely on the menu...This highly original interpretation of Rome's history, culture, art and religion takes the form of a book about food that's not really about food at all. In Al Dente Winner takes us on a stroll through the city as he muses on all things comestible and much else besides. We learn about Rome as metropolis and necropolis, about tasty vineyard snails and the food-and-sex scandal that sent Saint Jerome packing. The cinematic greats such as Argento, Fellini and Ferreri are discussed alongside historical political satire where grocery orgies were art and the penis was the subject of hagiographies. There are the bloodthirsty antics of an eighteenth-century executioner who worked for the pope, stories of immolation, architecture and artichokes, and a telephone interview with a nun who makes Eucharistic wafers. Winner is a master of wit with a seemingly insatiable appetite for peculiar detail, and Al Dente provides an intriguing new portrait of a remarkable city - a veritable trifle of Roman bedrock and apogee, cosmos and counterculture to be devoured with gusto. Buon appetito...

Don Rigoberto feljegyzései
A Szeretem a mostohámat című bájos kisregényben ismerhettük meg Fonchitót, a mostohaanyját elcsábító, angyalarcú, démoni fiúcskát, aki most újra betoppan a családi botrány óta a férjétől külön élő dona Lucreciához… A festőművésznek készülő kis Fonchito, aki önmagát a zseniális Egon Schiele reinkarnációjának tekinti, újra meg újra az érzékiség hálójába csalja az érett szépasszonyt, de az utolsó pillanatban mindig visszakozik: a csábítás ördögi trükkjei ezúttal azt a célt szolgálják ugyanis, hogy a fiúcska jóvátegye korábbi vétkét, s újra összeboronálja mostohaanyját az apjával, don Rigobertóval. Maga a kerettörténet ezúttal csak az elbeszélés vázát adja egy megejtő szépségű, fékezhetetlen fantáziával megalkotott, bravúros erotikus regényhez, melyben föltárul előttünk a felesége elvesztése miatt szenvedő don Rigoberto lelkének, tudatának és tudattalanjának minden rezdülése. A napközben egy biztosítóigazgató szürke életét élő don Rigoberto éjszakánként megalkotja a maga álmokból, ábrándokból, fóbiákból, dühöngésekből, az erotikát testgyakorlattá silányító modern kor elleni kifakadásokból és legfőképpen az ezernyi alakban, pózban és pikáns helyzetben elképzelt dona Lucreciából szőtt külön világát. Don Rigoberto szerint az igazi erotikát lassan elpusztítja a mai tömegtársadalom szabadossága és a pornográf kultúra, amely a fantáziát kiszorítva segédeszközökkel szerszámozza fel az embert. De amíg marad a földön akár csak néhány homo ludens, azaz játékos ember, addig Mario Vargas Llosa káprázatos regényének minden bizonnyal lesznek olvasói.
