The History of Western Art (EN)
What is art? Why do we value images of saints, kings, goddesses, battles, landscapes or cities from eras of history utterly remote from ourselves? This history of art shows how painters, sculptors and architects have expressed the belief systems of their age: religious, political and aesthetic. From the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, to the revolutionary years of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the artist has acted as a mirror to the ideals and conflicts of the human mind.

Life in the Studio: Inspiration and Lessons on Creativity
To step into potter Frances Palmer's world is to be surrounded by the trappings of a life that has been intentionally--and painstakingly--built to maximize creativity. A light-filled, airy studio in which to make her pottery, with a corner always at the ready for her daily photo shoots. Cutting gardens overflowing with flowers to be snipped as inspiration strikes.
Shelves of cookbooks to peruse as she plans the menu of her next dinner party, and museum catalogs and art books to pore over when it's time to imagine a new vessel. After 30 years as an artist and entrepreneur, Palmer has learned how to cultivate a life that brings out her best. Those years have been at once rewarding and challenging, fruitful and fraught, and through it all, she has discovered the things that matter most: determination, routine, prioritization, perseverance, and perspective.
She has distilled these hard-won lessons, and more, into her debut book, a manual for current and aspiring creatives. The book is loosely arranged chronologically, beginning with Palmer's background in art history and the foundations of her pottery practice through to the day-to-day of running her successful business and tending to her ever-evolving gardens, and culminating in the continuous exploration and collaboration she is engaged in today. Along the way, readers are brought behind the scenes with hundreds of gorgeous photographs (of her ceramics, her beautiful flower arrangements, her gardens, and more), and even step-by-step instructions for her most cherished techniques and recipes.
It all adds up to a one-of-a-kind portrait and handbook for a creative life, well-lived.

Lacná kniha Anna In v hrobkách sveta
Hrdinka príbehu, Anna In, zostúpi do podzemia, do hrobiek, kde žije jej sestra – synonymum smrti. Chce získať moc nad týmto svetom so zámerom oslobodiť sestru a zničiť smrť. Dej románu je plný čudných tvorov – polostrojov, poloľudí, hologramov a živých batožín; bohov, ktorými sú otcovia žijúci na horných poschodiach futuristického, psychedelického mesta, mesta s poloautomatickými sekretárkami a rikšiarmi, ktorí prirástli k rikšiam. Podzemie mesta je mýtickým prapriestorom, kde sa ešte transcendentno drží svojho pravýznamu a zároveň je nerozlučne spojené s onou odľudštenou mestskou nadstavbou, celou spleťou výťahov, šácht a rúr. Príbeh je rekonštrukciou sumerského mýtu o Inanne od prvej autorky svetového písomníctva, kňažky boha Nanmu Ennuduanny. Najstaršia literárna pamiatka je známa iba z niekoľkých fragmentov v klinovom písme – nová magická rozprávačka poľská spisovateľka Olga Tokarczuk sa pokúsila o nemožné: úžasnou silou svojej fantázie nielenže dotvorila jednoduchý príbeh o sile ľudskosti, o víťazstve dobra nad zlom, ale zrozumiteľným, jednoduchým jazykom ho transponovala do bližšie neurčenej budúcnosti.

The Satire of Ishmael Reed
Tato kniha se zaměřuje na tvorbu afroamerického spisovatele Ishmaela Reeda a sleduje, jak se napříč jeho padesátiletou románovou tvorbou proměňuje způsob, jímž autor uplatňuje satiru. Přestože je každý Reedův román originálním knižním počinem, v uplatnění satiry lze najít jisté pravidelnosti a vývojové tendence. Zatímco v Reedově rané satiře převládá společenská kritika založená na zobrazení nestandardní sexuality, v jeho současnější satiře (čímž je označována autorova románová tvorba od roku 1993 dále) dominuje společenská kritika založená na argumentaci. Uvedené mody satiry jsou v knize dále propojeny se dvěma druhy amerického rasismu, s rasismem zjevným a skrytým. Kniha dokládá, že spolu s tím, jak se zjevný rasismus stal v americkém společenském diskurzu nepřípustným a byl nahrazen rasismem skrytým, aktualizoval Ishmael Reed svoji satiru, aby i nadále zůstala efektivním modem společenské kritiky. Kniha je určena pro čtenáře z řad odborné i širší veřejnosti, kteří mají zájem o tvorbu Ishmaela Reeda i afroamerickou literaturu obecně. Inspirativní může být i pro ty, jež se zajímají o žánr satiry a její vývoj.

HEX - SongBook + CD HEX Live in Stará tržnica
CD sa volá Live in Stará tržnica a zachytili sme na ňom atmosféru minuloročného super koncertu v Bratislave.
Je na ňom 15 pesničiek, väčšinou ide o naše najväčšie hity, ale aj menej známe pesničky. Sú to však úplne iné - akustické verzie našich skladieb, tak ako ich bežne nehrávame.
Bonusom koncertného albumu, je spevník/songbook. "Veľa fanúšikov nás na minuloročnom turné žiadalo o akordy k pesničkám a aj o texty. Vydanie live CD je ideálnou príležitosťou dať im tieto veci spolu a majú to kompletné. Ide presne o ten istý zoznam 15 pesničiek, ich textov aj akordov, dokonca v poradí, ako sú zachytené na CD.
Stačí si sadnúť doma, alebo zobrať prenosný CD prehrávač do prírody, zapnúť CD, otvoriť spevník, spievať a hrať.

The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion

Pebble In The Sky
Caught up in an experiment gone wrong, Joseph Schwartz is transported forward in time from post-war Chicago to the heyday of the first Galactic Empire. Earth, he soon learns, is a backwater, despised by the other two hundred million planets of the Empire because its people dare to claim it as the original home of man. And Earth is poor, with great areas of radioactivity ruining much of its soil - so poor that everyone is sentenced to death at the age of sixty.
And Joseph Schwartz is sixty-two. Asimov's Galactic Empire novels are among the earliest stories by one of the twentieth century's greatest visionaries. Filled with ideas and wonders, they are classic adventures from science fiction's Golden Age.
