Little Marmaid Classic Tales Elementary 1
A little mermaid saved a young prince from the stormy sea. His eyes were closed but he was alive. She left him on a beach and a young girl and her friends found him there. Nobody saw the little mermaid who went back to the sea. The little mermaid wanted legs. The sea witch wanted the little mermaid's beautiful voice. So the witch gave the little mermaid a magic drink, and cut off her tongue. The little mermaid swam up by the Prince's palace and drank the drink. The Prince liked this strange girl and she went everywhere with him. But the Prince only loved one girl - the girl who saved him from the stormy sea. The little mermaid wanted to say, 'That girl was me.' But she had no voice. When the Prince found that girl, the little mermaid's heart broke.

Silence of the Sea
The most chilling novel yet from Yrsa Sigurdardottir, an international bestseller at the height of her powers. 'Mummy dead.' The child's pure treble was uncomfortably clear. It was the last thing Brynjar - and doubtless the others - wanted to hear at
that moment. 'Daddy dead.' It got worse. 'Adda dead. Bygga dead.' The child sighed and clutched her grandmother's leg. 'All dead.' A luxury yacht arrives in Reykjavik harbour with nobody on board. What has happened to the crew, and to the family who
were on board when it left Lisbon? Thora Gudmundsdottir is hired by the young father's parents to investigate, and is soon drawn deeper into the mystery. What should she make of the rumours saying that the vessel was cursed, especially given that wh
en she boards the yacht she thinks she sees one of the missing twins? Where is Karitas, the glamorous young wife of the yacht's former owner? And whose is the body that has washed up further along the shore?

Juliet, Naked
What happens when a washed-up musician looks for another chance? And miles away, a restless woman looks for a change?
In 1986, legendary musician Tucker Crowe disappeared from the public eye and for 20 years, his rabid fans have speculated his whereabouts. Annie lives in Gooleness, the north's answer to a question nobody asked, and has put fifteen years into a safe relationship with one such "Crowe-ologist", Duncan. And she wants her money back, please.
Then Tucker releases new material. Duncan thinks it's genius, Annie does not, and when she dares to go public with her dislike, there are unexpected, life-changing consequences for all three . . .
Juliet, Naked is a humblingly humorous novel about music, love, loneliness, and the struggle to live up to our own potential. If you like David Nicholls, David Sedaris and Jonathan Coe, you will love this book.

Lacná kniha Mozart 2 - Syn svetla (-90%)
Najprv symfónia, potom serenáda... Mozart neprestáva komponovať, akoby od toho závisel celý jeho život. Táto sloboda vystavovaná na obdiv sa nepáči jeho zamestnávateľovi, salzburskému arcibiskupovi Colloredovi, ktorý si vyžaduje iba jedno - poslušnosť. Mladý rebelantský hudobník sa preto rozhodne definitívne vymaniť spod jeho vplyvu a usadí sa vo Viedni. Tam spoznáva aj ženu svojho života Konstancu Weberovú. Thamos, verný umelcov spoločník, sa v rovnakom čase pokúša vytvoriť slobodomurársku lóžu, ktorá by dokázala preniesť ideály, inšpirované veľkými egyptskými mystériami, na svojho chránenca. Vládna moc však jeho úsilie neoceňuje a hnutie pokladá za nebezpečný výtvor revolúcie. Napriek tomu sa Mozart v dvadsiatich ôsmich rokoch stáva slobodomurárskym učňom. Svetlo je v ňom, blíži sa Figarova svadba...

Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove there’s never such thing as an open-and-shut case. Acclaim for Speaking from Among the Bones “[Alan] Bradley scores another success.

Flesh And Blood
No.1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the next enthralling thriller in her high-stakes series starring Kay Scarpetta-a complex tale involving a serial sniper who strikes chillingly close to the forensic sleuth herself. It's Chief Medical Examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and while she's enjoying a leisurely morning, a man is shot dead five minutes from her house. The bullet tore through him as he unloaded groceries from his car. Yet nobody heard or saw a thing. It looks like the work of a serial sniper - one who leaves no trace except for tiny copper fragments, and whose seemingly impossible shots cause instant death. As Scarpetta investigates, uncovering details that only she can analyze, she begins to suspect that the killer is sending her a message. Adding to Scarpetta's growing unease is the sense that those closest to her are keeping secrets. And when her pursuit of the sniper takes Scarpetta to a shipwreck off the Florida coast, she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her niece Lucy - Scarpetta's very own flesh and blood...

Make Time
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint, a simple 4-step system for improving focus, finding greater joy in your work, and getting more out of every day.
Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why?
In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That's what this book is about.
As creators of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles.
Make Time isn't about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction.
A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day..., Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.
