Košík plný hlav
Budou padat hlavy...
June Branchová je v průšvihu. Zůstala lapená na Brody Islandu a nemá kam utéct. Jejího přítele Liama unesla čtveřice krvežíznivých uprchlých trestanců, kteří se nezastaví, dokud ji nenajdou. Jediné, čím se může chudák June bránit, je prapodivná vikinská sekera s děsivou mocí – hlavy lidí, které setne, totiž stále mluví. Pokud má June zachránit Liama i sama sebe, bude muset zachovat chladnou hlavu... a nebo radši rovnou plný košík hlav!

The Great Gatsby
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey

The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.
The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

France: A Short History
A concise history of France from prehistory to the present, recounting the great events and personalities and exploring France's cultural and political influence today.
Artists, martyrs, kings, revolutionaries: France's sense of national identity is inextricably linked to its dramatic history, which fascinates the world and attracts millions each year to visit its chateaux and cathedrals, boulevards and vineyards. Ancient roots allied to a social, political and military history that has witnessed revolution, conflict and occupation mean that France holds a unique position in the modern world. In this short, easy-to-digest history of a vast subject, Jeremy Black succinctly narrates how France's past has created its distinct character.
Country and destination, nation and idea, France has an incomparable cultural legacy, and exerts a powerful artistic, intellectual and political influence across the globe. Black's vivid take on history emphasizes the unexpected nature of events and unpredictable outcomes on a fragmented country, from the prehistoric cave paintings of Lascaux to the origins of Gothic architecture, from Monet and Degas to the Lumiere brothers, and from the cataclysm of the 1789 Revolution through the countercultural student protests of 1968 to today's gilets jaunes. Black's concise, insightful tour of the key historical moments and vibrant personalities that shaped France provides an indispensable guide to understanding the country today.
Together
There is so much to be afraid of in our current moment: climate catastrophe, the rise of a new fascism, a virus that has reshaped the way we live. But something better is possible.

In Together, award-winning political thinker, author and poet, Ece Temelkuran provides an inspiring manifesto for change, reveals fresh possibilities for the better world we might want to live in, and gives us a new vocabulary for the political action that the 21st century asks of humankind.

Bringing together cutting-edge research and her own experience as a visual thinker, Grandin reveals a ground-breaking new approach to revolutionizing modern structures such as education, health and media so that they equally serve people with all kinds of minds. Visual Thinking is a perspective shifting book that will open our eyes to the value of a life in picture.

Surrounded by Idiots
Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense? Or tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers drive you crazy? Or does your colleague's abrasive manner get your back up?
You are not alone. After a disastrous meeting with a highly successful entrepreneur, who was genuinely convinced he was `surrounded by idiots', communication expert and bestselling author, Thomas Erikson dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of people.
Originally published in Swedish in 2014 as Omgiven Av Idioter, Erikon's Surrounded by Idiots is already an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide, of which over 750,000 copies have been sold in Sweden alone. It offers a simple, yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with - in and out of the office - based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can adjust the way(s) we speak and share information.
Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication and advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or indeed shut up. Packed with `aha!' and `oh no!' moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and influence those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension.
And with a bit of luck you can also be confident that the idiot out there isn't you!

Shadowsiege
Not all monsters hide in shadows.
Ryann should feel safe, but everything has changed. Haven is under siege from the shades. They hide in the shadows of the forest, waiting for night, always hungry.
But they don’t always kill. Sometimes, their bite infects.
Cathal lies in quarantine, the infection changing his body, turning him into something else. He sleeps, as do the other infected — but sooner or later, they will wake.
Then there are the men from the company. They say they have come down to Haven in order to help, but as far as Ryann can tell, they are only helping themselves. And in a company this big, individuals are of no consequence.
Whichever way she turns, Ryann is besieged by monsters.
The sequel to Shadowfall, Shadowsiege increases the dark tension and the capacity for evil, in monsters both alien and human.

Harry Potter és az elátkozott gyermek - puha táblás
Harry Potter élete sosem volt könnyű - és most sem az, amikor a Mágiaügyi Minisztérium túlhajszolt dolgozójaként, férjként és három iskoláskorú gyermek apjaként kell helytállnia.
Miközben Harry a múlttal viaskodik, kisebbik fiának, Albusnak is meg kell küzdenie a reá nehezedő családi örökséggel. A múlt és a jelen vészjósló összeolvadása azzal a ténnyel szembesíti apát és fiát, hogy a sötétség néha egészen váratlan helyekről támad.
Ez a kötet a londoni West Enden bemutatott Harry Potter és az elátkozott gyermek című díjnyertes színielőadás teljes és hivatalos szövegkönyve.
Tartalmazza a végleges párbeszédeket és rendezői utasításokat, egy beszélgetést a színdarab írója, Jack Thorne és a rendező John Tiffany között, a Potter-családfát, valamint egy idővonalat, amelyen végigkövethetjük a varázsvilág eseményeit, amelyek elvezettek a Harry Potter és az elátkozott gyermek történetéhez.
Magic
From the hexing of presidents to a renewed interest in herbalism and atavistic forms of self-care, magic has furnished the contemporary imagination with mysterious and complex bodies of arcane thought and practice. This volume brings together writings by artists, magicians, historians, and theorists that illuminate the vibrant correspondences animating contemporary art's varied encounters with magical culture, inspiring a reconsideration of the relationship between the symbolic and the pragmatic.
Dispensing with simple narratives of re-enchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture's tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care.
Tracing its various emergences through the shadows of modernity, the circuitries of ritual media, and declarations of psychic self-defence, Magic deciphers the evolution of a 'magical-critical' thinking that productively complicates, contradicts and expands the boundaries of our increasingly weird present.

Výtvarná rekonstrukce pravěku a evoluce člověka
Kniha čtenáře uvádí do vývojových proměn výtvarné rekonstrukce prehistorického světa, zejména období mladého paleolitu. Pozornost je věnována výtvarné tvorbě českých a zahraničních umělců od 19. až do počátku 21. století. Výklad sleduje postupný vývoj a základní milníky výtvarné rekonstrukce pravěku a evoluce člověka na území Evropy i ve Spojených státech amerických. Tvůrci umělecké rekonstrukce ztvárňují fyzický vzhled i způsob života našich evolučních předků, přičemž kladou důraz na vizualizaci evolučních proměn morfologie rodu Homo v kontextu prehistorických přírodních ekosystémů, flory a fauny. Tuto uměleckou produkci podporovaly postupně narůstající vědecké poznatky a empirická data z oborů prehistorické archeologie a paleoantropologie. Umělci v mnoha případech pracovali s dobovými domněnkami, archeologickými fragmenty a spekulativními představami otevírajícími prostor pro fantazii, tvůrčí volnost anebo únik z oficiálních uměleckých proudů. Výtvarné rekonstrukci pravěku a evoluce člověka se proto nevěnovali pouze vědecky orientovaní umělci, jako jsou Charles R. Knight, Rudolph Franz Zallinger a Zdeněk Burian, ale i Mikoláš Aleš, Jaroslav Panuška nebo Jan Konůpek. V současnosti svět pravěku zachycují John Sibbick, Julio Lacerda, Cícero Moraes, Élisabeth Dayn?s, bratři Kennisové nebo Pavel Dvorský a Petr Modlitba.
