Powerless
Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic and sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.
Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya... The exceptional. The Elites. The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom and shunned from society.
No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya's princes, Kai Azer, she's thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her 'Elite' powers.
If the Trials and the opponents don't kill her, the prince she's fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn really is . . . completely Ordinary.
Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, kiss-or-kill romantasy trilogy taking the world by storm. Containing a special sneak peek of the second book coming in May 2024, which is available for pre-order now!

Päť výletov do pekla
Americká spisovateľka, legendárna vojnová reportérka, vášnivá a nespútaná cestovateľka, ktorá sa nebála lietajúcich granátov, milovala nedotknuté pláže a dobrú whisky.
Martha Gellhorn (1908 – 1998) počas svojej novinárskej kariéry nechýbala pri žiadnom veľkom konflikte 20. storočia. Písala o španielskej občianskej vojne, vylodení v Normandii, ako prvá informovala o oslobodení koncentračného tábora Dachau. Nevynechala ani Vietnam, vojny na Blízkom východe či konflikty v Strednej Amerike. V spomienkach sa vracia k najlepším zo svojich najhorších ciest, ktoré aj po rokoch zaujmú vykreslením situácií, miest či charakterov. S ironickým nadhľadom a svojským zmyslom pre spravodlivosť nás pozýva do Moskvy medzi sovietskych disidentov, nedávno dekolonizovanej Afriky, vojnového Karibiku, ale aj na návštevu Čankajšekovej Číny.
Či už cestovala sama, alebo ju sprevádzal jej manžel Ernest Hemingway (v knihe ako N. S. – neochotný spoločník), bola mimoriadne otvorenou a výstižnou pozorovateľkou, a hoci ľudí považovala za najškodlivejší druh na planéte, vždy pevne stála na strane slabších a utláčaných.

Lacná kniha Cestování kaleidoskopem (-70%)
Když Irene Hillel-Erlanger vydala v r. 1919 v nakladatelství Cres prózu "Voyages en kaleidoscope" (Cestování kaleidoskopem), stala se pro zasvěcence klasikou esoterické literatury a pro některé literární znalce až jakýmsi románovým kubismem. Před vydáním "Cestování kaleidoskopem" publikovala autorka pod pseudonymem Claude Lorrey v letech 1909-1913 i několik pozoruhodných básnických sbírek. Jako scénáristka spolupracovala na prvních filmech režisérky Germaine Dulac, a je tak možné se domnívat, že právě z těchto zkušeností pramení síla jejích vizí i vynález promítacího kaleidoskopu, který zjevuje "ukrytý smysl všech věcí" a "harmonii rodící se z výměny pohledů".

Szívtipró pilóta
Pénz vagy szerelem? Melyiket válasszuk?
Az olvasó fejben talán azonnal megválaszolja a kérdést, gondolván: ez pofonegyszerű.
Számomra viszont nem az. Említettem, hogy egy csomó pénzről van szó? Rengeteg pénzről!
El kell utaznom valahová, hogy ezt átgondoljam. Hirtelen ötlettől vezérelve útnak indultam, de amikor a repülőtér várótermében összefutottam a szexi Carterrel, a dolgok más irányt vettek. Túlfűtött beszélgetésbe elegyedtünk, aztán ő elhúzott. Azt hittem, többé nem találkozunk. A sors azonban másként rendelte.
Meglepetés! Carter veszélyes pasi, és folyton ide-oda repül. Mágnesként vonzottuk egymást, de tudtam, hogy a dolog csak átmeneti lehet. Főleg, amikor meghallottam az előéletéről szóló pletykákat. De rákattantam a pasira, és semmi más nem számított. Tartottam tőle, hogy ebből óriási pofára esés lesz, mert valahogy a lelkem mélyén mégis arra vágytam, hogy én legyek az, aki megzabolázza ezt a szívtipró pilótát.
A legkevesebb, amit elmondhatok, hogy valóban a hetedik mennyországba repített.
De egyszer minden jó dolog véget ér, nem igaz? Csakhogy a mi kalandunk olyan véget ért, amire egyáltalán nem számítottam.

Look at the Lights, My Love
For half a century, the French writer Annie Ernaux has transgressed the boundaries of what stories are considered worth telling, what subjects worth exploring. In this probing meditation, Ernaux turns her attention to the phenomenon of the big-box superstore, a ubiquitous feature of modern life that has received scant attention in literature.
Recording her visits to a store near Paris for over a year, she captures the world that exists within its massive walls. Through Ernaux’s eyes, the superstore emerges as “a great human meeting place, a spectacle”—a flashy, technologically advanced incarnation of the ancient marketplace where capitalism, cultural production, and class converge, dictating our rhythms of desire. With her relentless powers of observation, Ernaux takes the measure of a place we thought we knew, calling us to question the experiences we overlook and to gaze more deeply into ordinary life.
In the Beginning it was Word
In the beginning was the word, and in the Middle Ages was the zenith of the Bible. It was a time when bibles were commissioned by kings, princes, and high-ranking members of the Curia, whose wealth and influence begat ornately illustrated bibles of extraordinary craftsmanship. To mark the Year of the Bible, and in conjunction with the Austrian National Library’s exhibition of its most precious sacred manuscripts, TASCHEN is publishing this book that will make the finest of these illuminated manuscripts accessible to the general public. The Power and Glory of Illuminated Bibles covers examples from every epoch of the Middle Ages, presenting the Bible as it was visualized in both theological and historical contexts. As the beauty and significance of the illustrations are undeniable, the manuscripts are also examined from an art historical point of view. Texts by Andreas Fingernagel, Stephan Füssel, Christian Gastgeber, and a team of 15 scientific authors describe each manuscript in detail and explore the evolution of the Bible as well as the medieval understanding of history that is inherent in these versions of the Bible&894 also included is a glossary of important terms so that those not versed in bible history can enjoy the texts as well. This sumptuous publication of these rare and significant manuscripts—reproduced with the impeccable quality and modest price tag for which TASCHEN is known—is a truly divine event.

Brief History of Living Forever
An audacious novel set in near-future America, from the critically acclaimed author of SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA.
When Adela discovers she has a terminal illness, her thoughts turn to Tereza, the American-raised daughter she gave up at birth. Leaving behind her moody, grown son, Roman, in their native Czech village, she flies to the United States to find the long-lost daughter who never knew her.
In New York City, Tereza is working as the star researcher for two suspicious biotech moguls hellbent on developing a 'god pill' to extend human life indefinitely. But before Tereza can find a cure for Adela, her mother dies mysteriously.
Narrated from the beyond by Adela, A Brief History of Living Forever is a high-wire act of storytelling. By turns insightful, moving and funny, the novel blends an immigrant mother's heartbreaking journey through the American dream with her children's quest to reclaim her from a country that would erase any record of her existence.

Egy pap vallomása
„- Honnan értesült az emberrablásokról? - kérdezte kásás hangon.
Mihály atya felnevetett:
- Onnan, hogy én tüntettem el őket.
- Maga? - Viktor nem bírta megállni, hogy ne mosolyodjon el.
- Én bizony. Elraboltam őket, koporsóba fektettem a testüket a föld alá valahol messze innen, és otthagytam őket. Van levegőjük, némi italuk és élelmük. Úgy számoltam, hogy nagyjából egy hétig húzzák. Persze csak ha elég kitartóak.”
Egy hitében megrendült katolikus pap.
Egy megszállott elme kísérlete, elevenen eltemetett kísérleti alanyokkal.
Egy őrült nyomozás, ahol nem az elkövetőt kell megtalálni, hanem az áldozatokat.
Egy kiégett nyomozó és egy törtető nyomozónő küzdelme, miközben az óra kérlelhetetlenül tovább ketyeg…
Szántó Dániel harmadik regénye egy elképesztően nyomasztó és izgalmas bűntény felderítésének magával ragadó története a koszos, maffiózók uralta, csodálatos Budapesten.
