Lacná kniha The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the Tropical Gothic (-70%)
Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. With the post-colonial sensibilities of Junot Diaz, Teju Cole, and Jhumpa Lahiri and an ironic perspective of colonial history resonant with Marques and Llosa, Joaquin is a long-neglected writer ready to join the ranks of the world classics. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendour and excess. This collection features his best-known story, 'The Woman Who Had Two Navels,' centred on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologised story 'May Day Eve,' and a canonical play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino.

If I Had Your Face
If I Had Your Face plunges us into the mesmerizing world of contemporary Seoul - a place where extreme plastic surgery is as routine as getting a haircut, where women compete for spots in secret 'room salons' to entertain wealthy businessmen after hours, where K-Pop stars are the object of all-consuming obsession, and ruthless social hierarchies dictate your every move.

'Should appeal to fans of Maria Semple, Emma Straub and Jennifer Egan ... A moving, immersive, often very funny study of family and sisterhood' Sunday Times
At a family wedding, the four Sorenson sisters polka-dot the green lawn in their summer pastels, with varying shades of hair and varying degrees of unease. Their long-infatuated parents watch on with a combination of love and concern.
Sixteen years later, the already messy lives of the sisters are thrown into turmoil by the unexpected reappearance of a teenage boy given up for adoption years earlier - and the rich and varied tapestry of the Sorensons' past is revealed.
Weaving between past and present, The Most Fun We Ever Had portrays the delights and difficulties of family life and the endlessly complex mixture of affection and abhorrence we feel for those closest to us. A dazzlingly accomplished debut and an utterly immersive portrait of one family's becoming, it marks the arrival of a major new literary voice.

Voynichův rukopis aneb Nejzáhadnější kniha světa
První faksimilní vydání nejtajemnější knihy světa, Voynichova rukopisu, jenž mnozí odborníci považují za „Svatý grál historické kryptografie“ (a který inspiroval i Dana Browna k jeho bestselleru Ztracený symbol), doplněné obsáhlou úvodní studií renomované badatelky a záhadoložky Jitky Lenkové.
Tajemný rukopis, nad nímž si lámou hlavu filologové, kryptografologové i amatérští luštitelé celého světa už přinejmenším 100 let (od r. 1912, kdy jej nalezl americký sběratel Wilifrid M. Voynich v jezuitském klášteře v italském Frascati). Zatím neúspěšně. Nikdo nebyl dosud schopen jednoznačně dešifrovat jedinou stránku, vysvětlit jediné vyobrazení ... přestože se o odhalení jeho tajemství pokoušejí nejhloubavější mozky planety.
Ačkoliv se renomovaní odborníci i amatérští badatelé snaží záhadě Voynichova rukopisu přijít na kloub i nejnovějšími vědeckými metodami, včetně statistických postupů používaných při čtení lidského genomu, tajemství tohoto textu nadále odolává. Neuspěli ani odborníci na šifry z amerického Národního bezpečnostního úřadu (NSA), kteří jej již v 60. a 70. letech minulého století přepsali do strojového kódu a pokoušeli se jej rozluštit pomocí počítačů, včetně použití technologie Kerberos (vyvinuté v MTI).
O jeho původu a účelu existuje více teorií, než kolik má stran. Někteří badatelé jej považují za magický grimoár, středověkou čarodějnickou knihu, jiní za babylonský okultní spis, alchymicko-astrologickou příručku či zašifrované poselství mudrců Atlantidy nebo Plejáďanů, další věří, že jde o legendární Necronomicon Abdula al-Hazreda, dennik Leonarda da Vinci anebo dílo alchymisty Rogera Bacona ...
Hlavní teorie a hypotézy, společně se souhrnem známé historie rukopisu a jeho zkoumání od 15. století, předkládá právě tato kniha, jež zároveň obsahuje i první publikovanou verzi kompletního faksimile Voynichova rukopisu.
