The Big Book of Classic Fantasy
Unearth the enchanting origins of fantasy fiction with a collection of tales as vast as the tallest tower and as mysterious as the dark depths of the forest.
Fantasy stories have always been with us. They illuminate the odd and the uncanny, the wondrous and the fantastic: all the things we know are lurking just out of sight—on the other side of the looking-glass, beyond the music of the impossibly haunting violin, through the twisted trees of the ancient woods. Other worlds, talking animals, fairies, goblins, demons, tricksters, and mystics: these are the elements that populate a rich literary tradition that spans the globe. A work composed both of careful scholarship and fantastic fun, The Big Book of Classic Fantasy is essential reading for anyone who’s never forgotten the stories that first inspired feelings of astonishment and wonder.
INCLUDING:
*Stories by pillars of the genre like the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Mary Shelley, Christina Rossetti, L. Frank Baum, Robert E. Howard, and J. R. R. Tolkien
*Fantastical offerings from literary giants including Edith Wharton, Leo Tolstoy, Willa Cather, Zora Neale Hurston, Vladimir Nabokov, Hermann Hesse, and W.E.B. Du Bois
*Rare treasures from Asian, Eastern European, Scandinavian, and Native American traditions
*New translations, including fourteen stories never before in English
PLUS:
*Beautifully Bizarre Creatures! *Strange New Worlds Just Beyond the Garden Path!
*Fairy Folk and Their Dark Mischief! *Seriously Be Careful—Do Not Trust Those Fairies!

What It Takes
In the space of three years, I went from a thirty-something full-time corporate cog, wife and mother who didn't know a thing about business, to the owner of a $100 million company.
I didn't have an MBA or well-connected friends, I had an idea that I believed in and I worked my arse off. I succeeded, despite all the odds and curveballs thrown my way, and you can too. I'm here to tell you, that you do have what it takes to start a business, change careers and be successful, and I'm going to show you how.'
In What It Takes, Raegan Moya-Jones shares inspiration, advice and a healthy dose of real talk about what it's like to be an entrepreneur. As the founder and former CEO of aden + anais, a boutique baby swaddle company, Raegan learnt that success isn't about an Ivy League education and an influential network, success is about trusting your instincts, following your gut and knowing which rules to follow and which to break.
Raegan's extraordinary story proves that it's never too late to follow your dreams. Empowering and energising, What It Takes will give you the kick up the arse you need to reach your full potential. So get ready to check your doubts at the door and jump in.

The Reinvention of Humanity
*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
'Magnificent' Guardian / 'Hugely informative and adhesively readable' Sunday Times
The Reinvention of Humanity tells the riveting story of a small circle of renegade scientist-explorers who changed something profound: what it means to be normal.
In the early twentieth century, these pioneering anthropologists, most of them women, made intrepid journeys that overturned our assumptions about race, sexuality, gender and the nature of human diversity. From the Arctic to the South Pacific, from Haiti to Japan, they immersed themselves in distant or isolated communities, where they observed and documented radically different approaches to love and child-rearing, family structure and the relationship between women and men. With this evidence they were able to challenge the era's scientific consensus - and deep-rooted Western belief - that intelligence, ability and character are determined by a person's race or sex, and show that the roles people play in society are shaped in fact according to the immense variety of human cultures.
Theirs were boundary-breaking lives, filled with scandal, romance, rivalry and tragedy. Those of Margaret Mead and her essential partner Ruth Benedict resulted in fame and notoriety. Those of Native American activist Ella Deloria and the African-American writer and ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston ended in poverty and obscurity; here their achievements are brought fully into the light for the first time. All were outsiders, including the controversial founder of their field, the wild-haired professor, German immigrant and revolutionary thinker, Franz Boas.
The Reinvention of Humanity takes us on their globe-spanning adventures and shows how, together, these courageous and unconventional people created the moral universe we inhabit today.

Sázka a jiné povídky/Eine Wette...
Dvojjazyčné, německo-české vydání povídek německého spisovatele, autora románů Goya, Lišky na vinici, Židovka z Toleda a dalších. Feuchtwangerovy povídky vznikaly v širokém rozmezí od třicátých let až po dobu emigrace ve Spojených státech po roce 1941. Psychologicky zaměřené povídky se zaměřují na vztahy mezi lidmi zasazené do dobových souvislostí, jak je tomu například v povídce Dům na Zelené cestě, který vypráví o konfliktu historika s nastupující fašistickou mocí (není bez zajímavosti, že povídka vznikla v roce 1942, ale je napsána, jako by byla válka už skončila).

Ne mondd, hogy szeretsz
Légy önmagad! Légy az enyém!
Zora szeret láthatatlan lenni.
Nem akar barátokat, nem akar senkit közel engedni magához, nem akar újból csalódni. Hosszú ujjú ruhák, erős smink és elutasító tekintet mögé rejtőzik, nehogy újra bízni kezdjen, aztán felfedezzék a múltját, és megint megbántsák.
Dominik arra vágyik, hogy valaki végre őt lássa.
Otthon csak az eredményeire figyelnek, míg az osztálytársai azt nézik, mennyire menő cuccai vannak, de egyetlen barátjának sem árulhatja el, milyen sokat jelent neki a rajzolás.
Azonban mindkettejük számára van egy hely, ahol lazíthatnak, ahol önmaguk lehetnek, ahol talán végre találhatnak igazi barátokat:
a tetoválószalon.
Zora ősz óta recepciós ott, Dominik pedig felbukkan, mint reménybeli tetováló. Muszáj szóba állniuk egymással, kénytelenek meglátni a másik valódi arcát,
és lassan közeledni kezdenek.
Izgalmas regény az őszinteségről, az útkeresésről, és egy finoman kialakuló szerelemről.

Mortdecai Film Tie
Don't Point That Thing At Me by Kyril Bonfiglioli - Book 1 of the Mortdecai Trilogy, now a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp Introducing the Hon. Charlie Mortdecai, art dealer, aristocrat and assassin, in the first of the Mortdecai novels Portly art dealer and seasoned epicurean Charlie Mortdecai comes into possesion of a stolen Goya, the disappearance of which is causing a diplomatic ruction between Spain and its allies. Not that that matters to Charlie...until compromising pictures of some British diplomats also come into his possession and start to muddy the waters. All he's trying to do is make a dishonest living, but various governments, secret organizations and an unbelievably nubile young German don't see it that way and pretty soon he's in great need of his thuggish manservant Jock to keep them all at bay...and the Goya safe. First published in the 1970s, this hilarious novel is part Ian Fleming part P G Wodehouse. It is now a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp as Mortdecai, Ewan McGregor as Jock and Gwyneth Paltrow. "A rare mixture of wit and imaginative unpleasantness." (Julian Barnes). "You couldn't snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful." (Stephen Fry). "The jokes are excellent, but the most horrible things keep happening...Funny and chilling." (Sunday Telegraph). Kyril Bonfiglioli was born on the south coast of England in 1928 of an English mother and Italo-Slovene father. After studying at Oxford and five years in the army, he took up a career as an art dealer, like his eccentric creation Charlie Mortdecai. He lived in Oxford, Lancashire, Ireland and Jersey, where he died in 1985. He wrote four Charlie Mortdecai novels, and a fifth historical Mortdecai novel (about a distinguished ancestor).
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Agyar
A stalker életében egyszer eljön az a pillanat, amikor már nem is tudja, miért megy a Zónába. Úgy vonzódik hozzá, mint gyermek az anyjához, mint vadállat az itatóhoz, mint virág a naphoz. Nem tudja, mit eredményez az útja, csak azt, hogy kezével rejtélyeket és szentségeket fog kiszakítani a Zóna méhéből.
Néhány év után a stalker függővé válik. Nem élhet a Zóna nélkül. Nem tud meglenni a halálos kockázat nélkül, az őt körülvevő csend nélkül, a feje fölötti bágyadt napfény nélkül. Próbáld meg fél évre bezárni a négy fal közé, és megtapasztalhatod, milyen a stalker a Zóna nélkül.
Pedig folyamatos küzdelem az élete: ki a fogát hagyja ott, ki csak valamelyik testrészét. Stalker volt, de most nyomorék, aki már nem mehet a Zónába. Végzete arra ítélte, hogy ott éljen a közelében, hallja hívását, lássa, ahogy szerencsésebb bajtársai elmennek és visszatérnek, s meghaljon a vágytól, mely már soha sem válhat valóra.
A legtöbb stalker életében eljön a végső összecsapás ideje is, amikor határoznia kell: boldogan hal meg a csatában, vagy életben marad, emberi roncsként. Ez egy nagyon fontos döntés, mindenki a saját képességei szerint hozza meg: megtáncoltatni ellenségeit egy halálos forgatagban, és egyesülni velük a Zóna időtlenségében, vagy feladni egy részt saját belső világából, és megmenteni azt, ami ezután már alig ér valamit: az életét.
Az igazi stalker megérzi, amikor eljön a végső csata ideje. És ezt mindenki másképp éli meg. De ha felfogtad, ha megragadtad, ha beléd ivódott, akkor neked már semmit sem kell elmagyarázni. Az utolsó pillanat, átitatva a csata gyönyörűségével - mi lehet ennél szebb?
