Five Little Pigs
Agatha Christie's ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other suspects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried `wee wee wee' all the way home.
It is sixteen years later, but Hercule Poirot just can't get that nursery rhyme out of his mind...

The Birth of Tragedy (Oxford World´s Classics)
'Yes, what is Dionysian? - This book provides an answer - a man who knows" speaks in it, the initiate and disciple of his god.' The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a book about the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance to the German culture of its time. For Nietzsche, Greek tragedy is the expression of a culture which has achieved a delicate but powerful balance between Dionysian insight into the chaos and suffering which underlies all existence and the discipline and clarity of rational Apollonian form. In order to promote a return to these values, Nietzsche undertakes a critique of the complacent rationalism of late nineteenth-century German culture and makes an impassioned plea for the regenerative potential of the music of Wagner. In its wide-ranging discussion of the nature of art, science and religion, Nietzsche's argument raises important questions about the problematic nature of cultural origins which are still of concern today."

Mindfulness a její kořeny
Mindfulness, neboli vědomá pozornost, je velmi známá a stále oblíbenější dovednost. Ve skutečnosti ale představuje jen jednu část neuvěřitelně bohatého a naplňujícího buddhistického přístupu k životu. Tato kniha zkoumá, jak být spokojený v práci, jak moudře stárnout, rozpustit obtížné emoce či jak být skutečně autentický, a odhaluje cestu k životu ve svobodě. Zároveň přesně ukazuje, jak buddhistické koncepty a praxe – soucit, radost, uvolněnost, bdělost a probuzení, mohou přinést do vašeho života radikální změnu.
„Ve smyslu, v jakém já používám slovo mindfulness, už za jeho hranicemi nic není, protože jde o souhrnný název pro hluboce vžitou moudrost a miliony jejích projevů v našem životě. V této hluboce výchovné a poučné knize otevírá Stephen Fulder vesmír, z něhož se zrodilo to nejpřesnější vyjádření pojmu mindfulness, a návod, jak mu porozumět a rozvíjet ho ke prospěchu všech, jednak z tradičnějšího buddhistického, jednak z všeobecnějšího a inkluzivnějšího hlediska. Stephenova životní dráha a rozhodnutí jsou ztělesněním jeho hluboké lásky k tomu, co je nejsvětější a co lze nejsnáze přehlédnout.“
Jon Kabat-Zinn, emeritní profesor, tvůrce MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction/Redukce stresu pomocí mindfulness), autor knih Full Catastrophe Living (česky Život samá pohroma, Jan Melvil Publishing, 2016) a Falling Awake (Probouzení se)
„Všichni si přejeme mít šanci odložit zátěž, kterou si s sebou životem neseme. Neseme si s sebou své vnitřní zátěže jako úzkost, nedostatek radosti, neklid nebo mysl se sklony k odsuzování. A máme i vnější zátěže, jako například když se nám nedostává toho, co bychom si přáli, když máme problémy ve vztahu nebo když nás zdánlivě zrazuje naše tělo. Ve skutečnosti však přetěžujeme svou mysl. Život se totiž neustále proměňuje, nemáme ho pod kontrolou, je však jenom na nás, jak se ke změnám stavíme. Většinou nám přijde, že jde o nekonečný zápas. Všechna ta zátěž jako by nás nikdy neopouštěla, jako by se stala naší součástí. Je to tím, že ji nedokážeme odložit prostřednictvím touhy po lehkosti a svobodě, nedokážeme o ní přemýšlet ani si představit, že jsme ji odložili, natož pak se jí vyhnout. Stres je natolik nedílnou součástí našeho života, že když se ho snažíme spláchnout, zjistíme jen, že se v jednom kuse myjeme ve špinavé vodě. Potřebujeme něco jiného. Jak kdysi řekl Einstein: „Problémy nemůžete řešit touž myslí, která je stvořila.
Proč pořád jen já
Často slyšíme o problémech, které narušují a kalí vztahy v partnerství, rodině, v kruhu přátel, na pracovišti i ve farnosti. Dotyční si těchto mechanismů často nebývají vědomi. Vnímají pouze narušené vztahy a bolestně nesou zranění, která jim tyto mechanismy působí. Nemají však tušení, jak se od jejich destruktivní síly osvobodit.
V této knize se dočtete o vzorcích chování, které nejčastěji narušují naše vztahy – od pocitů viny, citové vydírání, různé projekce až po duchovní zneužívání. Autoři v ní čtenářům nabízejí návod, jak se na tyto mechanismy v osobním životě ptát a jak je účinně řešit.
„Krásný obraz toho, co chápeme pod pojmem vymezení, nabízí miska: Podívejme se na misku s vodou. Na jejím dně leží vrstvička hlíny. Dokud je voda klidná, je průzračná a bez problému dohlédneme na dno. Jakmile ale někdo zvenčí do misky strčí, hlína ode dna se rozvíří a vodu zakalí. Když mě někdo naštve, vyvolá ve mně negativní pocity. V přeneseném smyslu mi zkalí vodu. Vymezit se by v této situaci znamenalo odsunout misku do takové vzdálenosti, aby do ní ten druhý nemohl strčit. V tom případě se voda znovu vyčistí. Druhý člověk ve mně vyvolává emoce. Avšak já zodpovídám za způsob, jak s těmi emocemi naložím. Jestliže se vůči tomu, kdo spouští mé emoce, vymezím, on nade mnou ztratí moc a já znovu najdu cestu k vnitřnímu pokoji. Dále se však musím vymezit i vůči svým emocím, udržet misku v klidu a umožnit jim, aby se usadily. V opačném případě by se mé nitro stále více kalilo.“
Death of Marco Pantani: A Biography
At 9:30 pm on 14 February 2004, former Tour de France winner Marco Pantani was found dead in Rimini. It emerged that he had been addicted to cocaine since Autumn 1999, weeks after being expelled from the Tour of Italy for blood doping. Conspiracy theories abounded - that he was injected in his sleep by a business rival, that the Olympic Committee had framed him, that Italian Industrialists had engineered his downfall, etc etc. If none of these is entirely true and none of them fully explains Pantani's personal tragedy, none of them is foundationless. This book debunks the myths and makes surprising revelations. About Pantani's personal tragedy, but also about the world of cycling. Matt Rendell had access not only to court transcripts but to many of Pantani's friends and the doctors who treated him. But Pantani's life is about much more than drug addiction. Lance Armstrong described him as 'more of an artist than an athlete - an extravagant figure ...' Despite being plagued with injuries he won both the Giro and the Tour in 1998, something very few cyclists even attempt. He was an inspirational icon, and the remarkable wins against all odds make gripping reading.

The Consequences of Love
Under the hot sun, the Jeddah streets make a scene from an old black-and-white movie: the women dressed like long, dark shadows and the men in their light cotton tunics. Naser's friends have all left town for cooler climes but he can't get away: he's an outsider in Saudi and he needs to hold down his job at the local carwash. During his time off, he sits beneath his favourite palm tree, writing to the mother he has left behind in Africa and yearning for the glamorous Egyptian actress he hopes to meet one day. It's hard to adjust to a world that puts up so many barriers between men and women: walls in the mosque, divider panels in the buses and veils on the street.Naser feels increasingly trapped, not least by the religious police who keep watch through the shaded windows of their government jeeps. A splash of colour arrives in Naser's world when, unexpectedly, a small piece of paper is dropped at his feet. It is a love note, from a woman whose face he has never seen and whose voice he has never heard. She tells him that she will wear a pair of pink shoes the next time she passes so that he can pick her out from the other women in their identical black abayas. Erotic tension runs high, Naser and his 'habibati' begin to exchange letters. But in moments of doubt the pink shoes seem to lead him into a cul-de-sac of thwarted desire, fraught with danger. Relationships between unmarried men and women are illegal under the strict Wahhibism of Saudi state rule - and it's not long before their real, but illicit, love must face the hardest test of all...

The adventure begins…
Whoever holds the Egg controls the ancient animals of power: kraken, wyvern, and dragon. Whoever cracks the Egg unleashes these monsters on the world, unrestrained and beyond the control of anyone alive…
Three young Torra Altans, Caspar, Brid, and Hal, are closing in on the immemorial hiding place of the Egg. Strange wild beasts that sense their purpose follow close behind. From Yew Wood to Lake of Tears, spices and enemies pursue them. The Mother Goddess has promised that once the Egg is brought to their ancient home in the North, the starving hordes of Vaalakans besieging the castle will be driven back.
But creatures of legend desire to be real, and time is running out.
