Lacná kniha A Long Way Down (-70%)
For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: he has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it all . . . but not, as it happens, alone. Because first single-mum Maureen, then eighteen-year-old Jess and lastly American rock-god JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his idea - but brought their own reasons.
Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated words and some slices if cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living?
Shortlisted for the 2005 Whitbread Award and the Commonwealth Writers Prize, A Long Way Down is a darkly hilarious and moving novel by bestselling author Nick Hornby. If you like Jonathan Coe, David Sedaris and David Nicholls, you will love this book.
'A page-turning plot and rich, funny characters with several big laughs on every page. . . Hornby's best yet' Literary Review
'Hornby's best novel to date, impossible to put down. . . how can an examination of four people's anguish be so enthralling?' Ruth Rendell, Guardian
'Masterful. . . some of the finest writing, and some of the most outstanding characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading' Johnny Depp
Nick Hornby has captivated readers and achieved widespread critical acclaim for his comic, well-observed novels About a Boy, How to be Good, Juliet, Naked, Slam and High Fidelity. His three works of non-fiction, 31 Songs (shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award), Fever Pitch (winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award) andThe Complete Polysyllabic Spree are also available from Penguin.

Veľká šachovnica
Je polovica deväťdesiatych rokov. Stredná Európa si zvyká na slobodu a mieri do EÚ a NATO, čerstvo nezávislé postsovietske krajiny sa snažia oslobodiť od vplyvu Kremľa a novú situáciu chce na svoje posilnenie využiť aj Čína ako najľudnatejšia krajina sveta. Rusku sa to nepáči, ale zmietané hospodárskym prepadom, všadeprítomnou korupciou a organizovaným zločinom je príliš slabé, aby s tým niečo robilo.
A na to všetko sa prizerá nespochybniteľný svetový hegemón, prvá a posledná skutočne globálna a neohrozená superveľmoc – Spojené štáty. Ako využijú svoje jedinečné postavenie?
Je v ich záujme podporiť integráciu strednej Európy do EÚ? Do akej miery je vhodné podporovať Moskvu ohrozujúce ambície Pekingu, tak aby neohrozila Washington? A je možné pomôcť Rusku, aby sa stalo súčasťou západného sveta?
Brzezinského Veľká šachovnica je žánrovou klasikou, historickým exkurzom, učebnicou geopolitiky aj napínavým románom, v ktorom sme tiež zohrali svoju rolu.

500 years after the historic French seaport of Le Havre was established, TASCHEN presents a facsimile reproduction of Les premieres uvres de Jacques Devaulx, pilote en la marine, first published by Le Havre-born "Naval Pilot to the King" Jacques Devaulx in 1583.This extraordinary illuminated manuscript, dedicated to the Duke of Joyeuse, collates nautical, astronomical, and cartographic ideas as well as Devaulx's own extensive notes, observations, and records as a seafarer, hydrographer, cosmographer and cartographer. An encylopedic reference for sailors, as well as a magnificent maritime showpiece for his royal employers, the elaborately annotated and decorated folios set out a vivid repertoire of naval and cosmographic tools and techniques, including astrolabes, nautical charts of the Atlantic Ocean, tabular statements of diurnal tides, star maps, and measurements for solar altitude. This edition of Devaulx's stunning document, produced in collaboration with the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, reproduces each of the 31 folios in all their dazzling art and science, including the original colorful illuminations, gold highlights, and volvelles. The volume features essays by Jean-Yves Sarazin and Gerhard Holzer, as well as commentaries from a team of experts coordinated by Elisabeth Hebert, contextualizing Devaulx's work with fascinating insights into 16th-century seafaring and exploration.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Zrcadlová četba
Výběr čtyř příběhů slavného detektiva Sherlocka Holmese obsahuje následující povídky: Skandál v Čechách, kde neporazitelného detektiva překoná ženský důvtip, Ligu zrzavých, příběh o nezdařeném pokusu o velkou bankovní loupež, Případ totožnosti, v němž prostoduchá mladá dědička v den svatby marně čeká na svého ženicha, a příběh Pět pomerančových jadérek, kdy Sherlock Holmes nedokáže včas zabránit dovršení tragédie jedné rodiny. Mistr dedukce tedy i přes rozluštění všech záhad nevychází z každého případu jako absolutní vítěz. – The collection of four stories about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes contains the following short stories: A Scandal in Bohemia, where the invincible detective is overcome by female wit, The Adventure of the Red-headed League, the story of a failed attempt on a big bank robbery, A Case of Identity, in which a simple-minded young heiress awaits in vain her groom on her wedding day, and The Five Orange Pips, when Sherlock Holmes cannot prevent in time the completion of the tragedy in one family. So despite unravelling all the mysteries, the master of deduction is not an absolute winner in solving of each case.

Dotyky vášne
JEDNÉHO DŇA DOSTALA ZÁHADNÝ BALÍK A V ŇOM NAŠLA MOBILNÝ TELEFÓN OD TAJOMNÉHO MUŽA ZO ZOZNAMKY
Uprostred displeja svietilo neznáme číslo. Zrazu bolo zase ticho.
Zdvihni to, zlatko.
Keď telefón zazvonil do tretice, už som nezaváhala a trasúcimi sa prstami som prijala hovor.
Priložila som si ho k uchu a napriek pocitu, že mi srdce vyskočí z hrude, som sa snažila dýchať potichu.
Vyčkávala som.
„Ahoj.“
Hoci sa Kristína kvôli zlým skúsenostiam z minulosti mužov skôr stráni, charizmatický Erik si okamžite získa jej pozornosť. Kristína však netuší, že Erik s ňou rozohráva vlastnú hru, na ktorú ona rozhodne nie je pripravená.
Kým zistí, o čo mu v skutočnosti ide, je už neskoro a ona ho nedokáže zostať z hlavy. Čím viac sa snaží vymaniť spod jeho vplyvu, tým silnejšie ju svojou energiou ťahá späť. Zakaždým, keď dúfa, že sa už od neho oslobodila, sa znova zjaví a jediným dotykom si ju nanovo podmaní.
Všetko sa ešte viac zamotá, keď medzi nich vstúpi Erikov najlepší kamarát Šimon a Kristína má odrazu pocit, že jej neostáva iná možnosť, iba od všetkého utiecť. Jej život sa stáva kolotočom hádok, zmierovania, skrývania a odhaľovania nepekných tajomstiev.

Good Citizens Need Not Fear
'Bright, funny, satirical and relevant. . . . A new talent to watch!' MARGARET ATWOOD (via Twitter)
'Bang-on brilliant' MIRIAM TOEWS
This brilliant and bitingly funny novel-in-stories, set in and around a single crumbling apartment building in Soviet-era Ukraine, heralds the arrival of a major new talent.
'A comic triumph' GLOBE AND MAIL
A cast of unforgettable characters--citizens of the small industrial town of Kirovka--populate Maria Reva's ingeniously entwined tales that span the chaotic years leading up to and immediately following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989. Weaving the strands of the narrative together is an unforgettable, chameleon-like young woman named Zaya: an orphan turned beauty-pageant crasher who survives the extraordinary circumstances of her childhood through a compelling combination of ferocity, intelligence, stubbornness and wit.
Inspired by her own family's history, Reva's Good Citizens Need Not Fear takes us from paranoia to tenderness and back again, exploring what it is to be an individual amid the roiling forces of history.

Skrotenie čertice
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot, And place your hands below your husband´s foot. In token of which duty, if he please, My hand is ready, may it do him ease. Žena nech iné nič si neželá, len padnúť k nohám svojho manžela. Nech mi aj prsty postúpa - keď kvôli nemu to znášam, neviem, že to bolí. Proti posledným slovám, ktoré v tejto hre vysloví už skrotená Katarína, sa občas búria feministky - no Shakespeare sa môže iba usmievať. Veď tá čertica je nielen jednou z jeho najkrajších, ale i jednou z najemancipovanejších hrdiniek. Ktovie, či pokora, ktorú predvádza na záver, nie je len ukážkou, ako vedia ženy pri ovládaní mužov šikovne striedať stratégie. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) nebol len veľký dramatik - bude sa o ňom vždy hovoriť aj ako o najväčšom básnikovi divadla. Aj nový slovenský preklad je dielom básnika - hru preložil Ľubomír Feldek. Preklad sa opiera o najlepšie kritické vydanie THE ARDEN SHAKESPEARE.
Narodené v Auschwitzi
Príbeh pôrodnej asistentky inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami
Ana a jej kamarátka Ester sa ocitnú za železnou bránou Auschwitzu, koncentračného tábora, odkiaľ niet návratu. Keď sa dostanú na začiatok radu, Ana predstúpi a pokojne oznámi, že je pôrodná asistentka – a Ester jej pomocníčka. Na ruky im vytetujú čísla a pošlú ich do pôrodného baraka. Ana pochopí, že v jej rukách sa neocitnú len nevinní novorodenci, ale aj osudy mnohých ďalších detí a sľúbi si, že urobí všetko, čo bude v jej silách, aby ich zachránila.
Jedného dňa vtrhnú do baraka dvaja dozorcovia v obávaných esesáckych uniformách a vytrhnú svetlovlasé dieťa jeho matke z náručia. Ana má čo robiť, aby sa ovládla. Aj keď jej srdce puká od žiaľu, pri utešovaní zúfalej ženy zazrie záblesk nádeje. Dozorcovia si berú najzdravšie deti a umiestňujú ich v nemeckých rodinách, takže predpokladajú, že prežijú. V tábore sa navyše šepká, že vojna sa už čoskoro skončí… Ana a Ester preto začnú potajomky označovať matky a ich deti totožným tetovaním a dúfajú, že raz znovu nájdu cestu k sebe.
Potom, raz zavčasu ráno, si Ana všimne pod Esteriným tenkým pruhovaným kabátom vydúvajúce bruško...
Narodené v Auschwitzi je dojímavý príbeh o nezlomnosti a snahe zachrániť ľudské životy na motívy skutočných historických udalostí.
Z anglického originálu The Midwife of Auschwitz (Bookouture, Londýn 2022) preložila Jana Seichertová.

Megadom na strome 6: 78 poschodí
Megaúspešná séria Megadom na strome od známeho Andyho Griffithsa pobaví malých i veľkých.
Andymu a Terrymu nestačilo ani 65 poschodí domu na strome, a tak pristavali ďalších 13.
Pribudla umyvárka áut, do ktorej môžete vchádzať s otvorenou strechou, kombinovací stroj, súdna sieň s robotickým sudcom, čmáratórium a ešte kopa nových výmyslov. Tentoraz však Andy s Terrym nemajú za úlohu napísať novú knihu, ale nakrútiť film.
Režisérovi sa však páči iba Terry. Vydrží to ich priateľstvo?
Lacná kniha Queen Camilla (-70%)
For the past thirteen years, as England became an increasingly unhappy and fearful place, Prince Charles has been living quietly on a bleak council estate, The Flower Exclusion Zone (known locally as 'The Fez), with his wife and love of his life, Camilla. He enjoys gardening and poultry keeping while Camilla spends her days doing as little as possible, alongside their fellow ASBO-subjected neighbours. But life is about to change...Charles refuses to follow his destiny unless his wife can be Queen - and public opinion suggests the people would rather have Jordan than Camilla on the throne. But no sooner has Prince William offered himself as the next monarch, than one Graham Cracknall of Ruislip emerges - claiming to be Charles and Camilla's secret love child, and therefore the rightful heir to the crown. When the battle for the Crown begins the dogs on the Fez begin a struggle of their own - one that sweeps across the dog population of England. As Harris, the Queen's irascible corgi says, 'we've been domesticated for too long, it's time we showed our bleeding teeth.' Will sanity prevail over the right royal cock up that England has become? Or will chaos reign supreme? "Queen Camilla" shows Sue Townsend at her very best - sharp, satirical and utterly hilarious from the first page to the last.
