Egri csillagok
A ?regény tárgya történeti eseményekhez kötődik, Buda elfoglalása és a török 1552. évi hadjáratának kiemelkedő fontosságú eseménye, az egri vár ostroma szolgál fő témájául. Kibontakozik a három részre szakadt Magyarország állapota: a mohácsi csata után a törökök 1541-ben elfoglalják Budát, az ország középső része török fennhatóság alatt áll. A törökök hatalmuk megerősítését és területük kiterjesztését megcélozva 1552 nyarán újabb hadjáratot indítanak a még el nem foglalt magyar területek ellen, majd több nagyobb végvár birtokbavétele után három seregük Szolnok alatt egyesült erővel indul a végvár ellen. A vár bevételét követően a 80 000 főnyi óriási haderő Eger vára alá vonul, mely Dobó István kapitány vezetésével, maroknyi csapattal küzd meg az egyesült török sereg ellen. A szeptember 11-től többször megrohamozott, ostrom alá vett védősereg keményen helytáll a támadásoknak, így a törökök súlyos emberveszteségeket szenvednek. Az egyre hidegebb, támadók számára barátságtalanabb időjárás, a járványok és a heves ellenállás egyaránt hozzájárulnak a magyar sikerekhez, s végül a törökök október 17–18-án (38 ostromnap után) – feladva a további hadakozást – visszavonulnak és eltűnnek a vár alól. Az egri diadalnak óriási fontosságot tulajdonított a korabeli Európa, a XVI. században ez volt az első alkalom, hogy sikeresen megvédtek egy magyar végvárat a védők, mely kiemelkedő stratégiai fontosságú helyen állt, hiszen az egész Felvidék előretolt védőbástyája volt s több falu is a védelme alá tartozott.

Internát
Internát je román o putování. Cesta, o níž se v knize vypráví, není dlouhá, vede však mezi městy, jež rozdělila válka. Hrdina, věčně nerozhodný a ke všemu lhostejný učitel ukrajinštiny Paša, se na poslední chvíli rozhodne, že z ohroženého internátu vyzvedne svého třináctiletého synovce. Je leden 2015 a na východní Ukrajině se válčí. Fronta se stále posunuje, putování nebezpečným územím nikoho se tudíž protáhne na několik dní. Je zima, mokro, prší a na zemi leží zbytky sněhu. Z dálky zní štěkot toulavých psů, hučení tankových motorů a zvuky výstřelů. Cesta pro Pašu znamená nutnost konečně dospět a přijmout odpovědnost za své činy. Síla Žadanova válečného románu tkví především v jeho atmosféře, která je často tíživá, vždy znovu ji však odlehčují pro autora typické básnické metafory a jemná ironie.
„Serhij Žadan je jeden z nejdůležitějších tvůrců současné Evropy.“
– Timothy Snyder, autor knihy Tyranie: 20 lekcí z 20. století
„Serhij Žadan je bard východní Ukrajiny, kde se všechno hroutí.“
– The New Yorker
„Mistrovsky napsaný román. Internát je silným svědectvím o hrůzách války v každodenním životě dospělých i dětí.“
– Calvert Journal
„Pokud chcete porozumět tomu, co se stalo na východě Ukrajiny, musíte si přečíst knihy Serhije Žadana.“
– Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Our Story
Otty has just landed her dream job. She's about to join the writing team of one of the most respected showrunners in TV. And then the night before her first day, she's evicted from her flat.
Joe has been working with Russell for years. He's the best writer on his team, but lately something has been off. He's trying to get his mojo back, but when his flatmate moves out without warning he has other things to worry about.
Otty moving into Joe's house seems like the perfect solution to both their problems, but neither is prepared for what happens next. Paired together in the writing room, their obvious chemistry sparks from the page and they are the writing duo to beat. But their relationship off the page is an entirely different story, and neither of them can figure out why.
And suddenly the question isn't, will they, or won't they? It's why won't they?
An epic and modern love story for our times, we will all see ourselves reflected in Otty and Joe. We are our own biggest barriers and this novel explores what happens when we get out of our own way. And it is glorious.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray is having his picture painted by Basil Hallward, who is charmed by his looks. But when Sir Henry Wotton visits and seduces Dorian into the worship of youthful beauty with an intoxicating speech, Dorian makes a wish he will live to regret: that all the marks of age will now be reflected in the portrait rather than on Dorian's own face. The stage is now set for a masterful tale about appearance, reality, art, life, truth, fiction and the burden of conscience.
Oscar Wilde's only full-length novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray is a lasting gem of sophisticated wit and playfulness, which brings together all the best elements of his talent in a reinterpretation of the Faustian myth.

A Bárdossy-per
A Salzburgban lakók nem sok ügyet vetettek arra a leponyvázott amerikai katonai teherautóra, amely 1945. október 3-án a repülőtér felé vette az útját. Pedig olyan emberek voltak rajta, akiknek a szavától, akaratától nem oly rég nagyon sokak sorsa függött... Most az amerikai hadsereg rabjai ők, akiket azért visznek a repülőtérre, hogy átadják honfitársaiknak - azok tegyék mérlegre viselt dolgaik súlyát. E foglyok egyike Bárdossy László volt külügyminiszter-miniszterelnök... Budapesten már várják őket. A kötetben a szerző meggyőző érveléssel, álláspontja sokoldalú dokumentálásával igyekszik eloszlatni azt a tévhitet, amely olyan "gonosz" személynek láttatta Bárdossy Lászlót, aki "az egész világtörténelemben nem található" bűncselekményeket követett el. Az olvasó a közölt források segítségével nyerhet teljes képet erről a politikai perről, amely még ma is a viták kereszttüzében áll.

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light (Standard) CD
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

All Through the Night
Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs.
Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why?
This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in.
Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature?
Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts.
In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch).
Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too.
Lacná kniha Greek Myths (-70%)
A major new retelling of the Greek myths for a new generation, with original drawings by world-renowned artist Chris Ofili. Charlotte Higgins' spellbinding new collection will include all the most famous Greek myths, as well as many less well-known but equally intriguing ones. Here are stories of the creation, of Heracles and Theseus and Perseus, the Trojan war and its origins and aftermaths, tales of Thebes and Argos and Athens. There are stories of love and desire, adventure and magic, destructive gods, helpless humans, gender-shifting characters, resourceful witches, and the origins of birds and animals. Taking her cue from Ovid, Charlotte Higgins has an intriguing structural device to thread her stories together.
Inspired by the many moments in Greek myths in which women are seen to weave stories onto textiles (such as Helen of Troy in Homer, and Arachne and Minerva in Ovid), the tales will be told as if they are scenes in the act of being woven on to textiles by women. And, while not operating as an explicitly feminist retelling, this will add a new dimension to her myths, bringing women narrators and characters into the foreground. Above all, Charlotte Higgins' Greek Myths will be an original work of literature and scholarship by an exceptionally talented writer. It will be a book to be enjoyed as a work of art, a source to be consulted, a present to be given, and an object to keep and treasure.

Mátoha, neboj sa
Takmer dobrodružný, dojímavý i veselý príbeh mátožieho mládenca Bertíka, ktorý sa pohybuje vo svete, ktorému nerozumie a ktorý nerozumie jemu. Aj on by chcel, aby všetko bolo inak, aby v jeho rodnom jazere boli ryby a raky, aby sa všetci k sebe správali slušne a aby sa nikto nemusel báť toho, čoho sa báť nemusí, a bál sa len toho, čoho sa treba báť. Lenže všetko je inak, ako si predstavuje. Mátoh, ktoré sú na svete na to, aby sme sa ich báli, sa už nikto nebojí, no bojí sa mátoha Bertík. Takmer všetkého: obyčajných vecí, vlastných sestier, rybárov, zvierat, slabých i mocných, dobrých i zlých, chlapcov i dievčat, dokonca slnečného dňa.
Až kým mu do cesty nepríde naozajstný priateľ – pes básnik, ktorý ho naučí, že život je zvláštna a veru aj náramne zábavná hra, v ktorej vyhráva ten, kto sa nebojí. A v ktorej nejde ani tak o výhru, ale o rovnováhu medzi dobrom a zlom, nocou a dňom, keď slabé býva nezriedka silnejšie ako hrubá sila. Keď v sebe nájde takúto rovnováhu, keď si ju vydobyje v zápase s vlastným strachom, až vtedy dostane šancu stať sa naozajstným princom. Až vtedy nájde lásku, priateľstvo, šťastie i pokoj. A najmä svoje jazero, kde môžu byť všetci spokojní a šťastní, i keď je každý celkom iný. Aj tento príbeh je možno trochu iný, ako bývajú rozprávkové príbehy, no jeho inakosť je záhada.
