The Man Who Was Thursday: a Nightmare
The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare is a novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1908. The book has been referred to as a metaphysical thriller.Although it deals with anarchists, the novel is not an exploration or rebuttal of anarchist thought; Chesterton's ad hoc construction of "Philosophical Anarchism" is distinguished from ordinary anarchism and is referred to several times not so much as a rebellion against government but as a rebellion against God.The novel has been described as "one of the hidden hinges of twentieth-century writing, the place where, before our eyes, the nonsense-fantastical tradition of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear pivots and becomes the nightmare-fantastical tradition of Kafka and Borges."

Here in the Real World
From the author of the highly acclaimed, bestselling novel Pax comes a gorgeous and moving novel that is an ode to introverts, dreamers, and misfits everywhere, ideal for readers aged 9-12.
Ware can't wait to spend summer 'off in his own world' and generally being left alone. But then his parents sign him up for dreaded Rec camp, where he must endure Meaningful Social Interaction and whatever activities so-called 'normal' kids do.
On his first day Ware meets Jolene, a tough, secretive girl planting a garden in the rubble of an abandoned church next to the camp. Soon Ware starts skipping Rec, creating a castle-like space of his own in the church lot.
Jolene scoffs, calling him a dreamer - he doesn't live in the 'real world' like she does. As different as Ware and Jolene are, though, they have one thing in common: for them, the lot is a refuge. And when their sanctuary is threatened, Ware vows to save the lot.
But what does a hero look like in real life? And what can two misfit kids do?

The Game STCC - počítačová hra
Jako správní patrioti, rozhodli se vývojáři ze společnosti SimBin prosadit na trh vedle hry Race také tamější, tedy švédský šampionát těchto vozů, a to skrze hru nazvanou jednoduše STCC (Swedish Tourng Car Championship). Jelikož jde o licencovaný produkt, zajezdíte si na všech tratích a ve všech vozech ze sezóny 2008. Konkrétně jde o okruhy jako Mantrop Park, Knutstorp Ring, nebo exkluzivní Eco Drive Arena v Göteborgu. Co se vozidel týče, vyzdvihnout můžeme například Volvo C30, BMW E90, nebo Audi A4. O hudební doprovod se stará, jak jinak, metalová skupina Mustasch.

The World Between Blinks - A pislantások közötti világ
Hova kerül mindaz, ami eltűnik ebből a világból?
A fél pár zoknik, az elsüllyedt városok, a kihalt őshüllők?
Marisol és Jake vonzza a kalandokat.
Ezt néhai nagymamájuknak köszönhetik, a legendás utazónak
és kincsvadásznak. Amikor Nana halála után a kiterjedt család
még egyszer összegyűlik a nagymama tengerparti otthonában,
a két unokatestvér belevág egy rendkívüli utazásba.
Egy térkép alapján, amit a házban találnak, titokban kihajóznak egy közeli világítótoronyhoz - és egy másik világban találják magukat.
A Pislantások közötti világ varázslatos hely, itt lyukad ki minden, ami a mi világunkban elveszik. Jake és Marisol lépten-nyomon olyan emberekbe és tárgyakba botlik, akikről és amikről a történészek nem tudják, hova tűntek. Mint például Amelia Earhart pilóta vagy az elsüllyedt Atlantisz. De a férfi, aki a hazatérésük kulcsa lehetne, nem akarja, hogy megtalálják őt, és ha a gyerekek nem kerítik kézre gyorsan, örökre az elveszettek világában ragadhatnak.
Vessz el te is e csodás világban!
Made in Korea II.
Pokračování úspěšného sborníku Made in Korea přináší dalších třicet sedm pohledů na rozdělený poloostrov.
Korea není jen K-pop a K-drama s uniformně upravenými krásnými tvářemi. Nedá se ani redukovat na absurdní režim, ideologii čučche, hladomory a útěky. Koreji není možné přiřadit jediné adjektivum. Je tradiční i globalizovaná, svázaná tuhými pravidly i svobodná. Je to plnokrevná země se složitou, poněkud jednostranně líčenou historií, širokým spektrem vzájemně se prostupujících náboženských a myšlenkových systémů, rituálů, symbolů a kódů nám důvěrně známých i zcela cizích. Na to, co je Korea, se soustřeďuje druhý díl knihy Made in Korea, v němž autoři znovu poupravují mýty a zjednodušené pohledy Korejců na sebe samé.
Publikace je dílem vyučujících a studentů oboru koreanistika Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy, kteří v jednotlivých studiích představují témata podle svého zájmu a odbornosti. Výsledkem je sedmatřicet příspěvků se snahou o objektivní i poučený pohled na to, co lze Koreji přisoudit jako typické.

The Girl in White Gloves
"Perfect for fans of Grace Kelly, royal-watchers, and fans of biographical fiction alike.--PopSugar
A Library Reads Pick and Historical Novel Society Editor's Choice! A life in snapshots... Grace knows what people see. She's the Cinderella story. An icon of glamor and elegance frozen in dazzling Technicolor. The picture of perfection. The girl in white gloves. A woman in living color...
But behind the lens, beyond the panoramic views of glistening Mediterranean azure, she knows the truth. The sacrifices it takes for an unappreciated girl from Philadelphia to defy her family and become the reigning queen of the screen. The heartbreaking reasons she trades Hollywood for a crown. The loneliness of being a princess in a fairy tale kingdom that is all too real. Hardest of all for her adoring fans and loyal subjects to comprehend, is the harsh reality that to be the most envied woman in the world does not mean she is the happiest. Starved for affection and purpose, facing a labyrinth of romantic and social expectations with more twists and turns than Monaco's infamous winding roads, Grace must find her own way to fulfillment. But what she risks--her art, her family, her marriage--she may never get back.

Lacná kniha Made in Sweden (-70%)
Nad medveďom môžeš vyhrať len vtedy, keď budeš tancovať a správne udierať.
Všetko je nacvičené. Sekunda za sekundou. Každý pohyb na mieste. Nebude jeden jediný svedok, ktorý by mohol informovať o tom, čo sa stalo. Nijaký policajt nenájde stopy vedúce k páchateľom. Potom príde opojný pocit a uvoľnenie. Veľké akvárium pre zlatú rybku plné peňazí.
Pred mnohými rokmi, keď sa rodina rozpadávala, sa traja bratia zomkli. Leo, Felix, Vincent. Tyranský otec ich učil vždy nemilosrdne vrátiť úder. Chlapci boli dokonale školení v násilí, pretože v ňom vyrastali.
Všetko sa začalo prepadom muničného skladu, neskôr transportného vozidla plného peňazí. Potom už lúpeže nasledujú jedna za druhou. Veľa sa strieľa, no nevyhasne ani jeden ľudský život. Páchatelia sa vynoria odnikiaľ a okamžite bez stopy zmiznú. Nikdy nemajú dosť. Švédsko je zdesené a plné obáv.
Vyšetrovanie prvej lúpeže peňazí pridelia mimoriadne schopnému kriminalistovi Johnovi Broncksovi, naplno oddanému svojej práci. On jediný vie, ako na záhadnú Vojenskú ligu. Pochopí, akú taktiku používajú. No kým bratia držia spolu, sú neporaziteľní...

It is a masterfully sustained spotlight on the minutiae of village life – a clever and ultimately heart-warming series that seems tailor-made for audio.
