Lacná kniha The Song Before it is Sung (-50%)
On 20 July 1944, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassin's bomb. Axel von Gottberg and his conspirators were hunted down and hanged from meat-hooks, and the executions filmed. Sixty years later, Conrad Senior is left a legacy of papers by von Gottberg's close friend, the legendary Oxford professor Elya Mendel, and becomes obsessed with what they reveal and finding the brutal film. Award-winning writer Justin Cartwright has conjured a masterwork that addresses the nature of friendship and what it means to be human, and it is a remarkable tapestry of passion, ideas, frailty and courage.

Regényélet
A férfi szerint minden előre meg van írva
A nő szerint minden megírandó
Hat hónappal ezelőtt, 2010. április 12-én hároméves kislányomat, Carrie Conwayt elrabolták, miközben bújócskáztunk a Williamsburgben található lakásomban.
Így kezdődik a nyilvánosságtól elzárkózó írónő, Flora Conway története. Carrie eltűnésére nincs magyarázat. A lakás összes ajtaja és ablaka zárva volt, a régi New York-i bérház biztonságikamera-felvételein behatolásnak semmi nyoma. A rendőrségi nyomozás eredménytelenül zárul.
Mindeközben az Atlanti-óceán túlpartján, egy pusztulásnak indult házban magányosan gyötrődik a megtört szívű író. A rejtély kulcsa nála van. Flora mindent megtesz, hogy megtalálja.
Ha az ember a nap jó részében egy kitalált világban kalandozik, nem egykönnyen találja meg a visszavezető utat. És szédeleg a két világ közti határvidéken.
The Last Devil To Die
Shocking news reaches the Thursday Murder Club.
An old friend in the antiques business has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.
As the gang springs into action they encounter art forgers, online fraudsters and drug dealers, as well as heartache close to home.
With the body count rising, the package still missing and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out? And who will be the last devil to die?
Denying the Holocaust
The powerful and deeply disturbing book that was at the heart of the David Irving libel case, now dramatized in the film Denial. The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the Earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. For years those who made such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic fringe. But they have now begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas. In this famous book, reissued now to coincide with the film based on the legal case it provoked, Denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how--despite tens of thousands of witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence--this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement, with 'independent' research centres, and official publications that promote a 'revisionist' view of recent history. Denying the Holocaust argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.
Všetko plynie
KGB pri domovej prehliadke nezatklo Grossmana, ale zatklo jeho román. Grossman požiadal listom priamo Chruščova, aby jeho knihe, v ktorej napísal len to, čo pokladá za pravdu, vrátil slobodu.
Cenzúra však Život a osud zakázala ako dielo, ktoré by slúžilo nepriateľom sovietskeho štátu a komunizmu. Zakázala ho predovšetkým pre analógie medzi dvoma totalitnými režimami, komunizmom a nacizmom, pre narážky na paralelu medzi stalinskými masovými zločinmi (napr. hladomor na Ukrajine roku 1933, ktorý si vyžiadal 7 miliónov obetí) a vyvražďovaním Židov nacistami, pre paralely medzi sovietskymi pracovnými tábormi a nacistickými koncentračnými lágrami. Tieto analógie medzi hitlerovským a stalinským terorom, vyskytujúce sa v románe Život a osud, sú ešte vo výraznejšej podobe prítomné v poslednom Grossmanovom diele Všetko plynie. Vasilij Grossman sa nedožil vydania ani jedného z týchto dvoch diel. Rukopis románu Život a osud, schovaný u priateľov, sa v 70-tych rokoch podarilo na mikrofilmoch vyniesť na Západ. Román prvýkrát vyšiel po rusky roku 1980 vo Švajčiarsku. V Rusku potom až roku 1989. Na Slovensku vyšiel Život a osud v preklade Igora Otčenáša roku 1990. Dielo: Ľud je nesmrteľný (1942, slovenský preklad 1946), Stalingrad (1943, český preklad 1947), Stepan Koľčugin (19371947, slovenský preklad 1952), Obrana Stalingradu (1944, slovenský preklad 1946), Posledná hranica (1952, slovenský preklad 1958), Život a osud (1980, slovenský preklad 1990, reedícia 2008). Fragmenty Čiernej knihy vyšli roku 1946 v USA a v Rumunsku. Úplná, necenzurovaná verzia Čiernej knihy vyšla v ruštine po otvorení archívov sovietskej štátnej bezpečnosti (1989) roku 1993 v litovskom Vilniuse. Pod názvom Cesty a osudy vyšiel roku 1970 v českom preklade výber z Grossmanových poviedok a textov: V meste Berdyčive (1934), Treblinské peklo (1945), Tiergarten (19531955), Cesta (19601961) a ďalšie. V tom istom zväzku vyšla aj Grossmanova cestopisná črta o Arménsku Pokoj vám! (1962, po česky Kámen Arménie). Súbor Grossmanových reportáží z východného frontu A Writter at War: Vasily Grossman with the Red Army 19411945, 2005, editori A. Beevor a L. Vinogradová, vyšiel roku 2007 v českom preklade Spisovatel ve válce: Vasilij Grossman s Rudou armádou 19411945.

The History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Pictures
Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953–1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands – Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.

Princess Zara
Two shall be born the whole wide world apart; And speak in different tongues, and have no thought Each of the other's being, and no heed; And these o'er unknown seas to unknown lands Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death, And all unconsciously shape every act And lend each wandering step to this one end,-- That, one day, out of darkness, they shall meet And read life's meaning in each other's eyes.

Sonnets
'Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom'
Sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love.
Some of them are written to a young man, some of them to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, what was his sexuality? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.
Includes exclusive content: In the 'Backstory' you can find a short, handy, funny guide to everything you might want to know about Shakespeare and his sonnets.
