Five Short Plays: 400 Headwords
What do you do if you have a boring job in a restaurant, serving fast food to people who have no time to eat? Smile, and do your best? Perhaps it's better to find a place where time doesn't matter so much. What if you dream of travelling to other countries, but your friends just laugh? Do you stay at home with them? Or do you decide to be more adventurous? Perhaps you hear that someone has bought the last bag of salt in town. Do you buy a bag from him at a high price? Or try to make him give you a bag? Our world is full of these kinds of problems. They make life interesting, and sometimes very funny. These five short plays show people trying to decide what to do in unexpected or difficult situations.

Lacná kniha Interpretation of Murder
A dazzling literary thriller - the story of Sigmund Freud assisting a Manhattan murder investigation. Think SHADOW OF THE WIND meets THE HISTORIAN. THE INTERPRETATION OF MURDER is an inventive tour de force inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by protege and rival Carl Jung. When a wealthy young debutante is discovered bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city, and another society beauty narrowly escapes the same fate, the mayor of New York calls upon Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help the surviving victim recover her memory of the attack, and solve the crime. But nothing about the attacks - or about the surviving victim, Nora - is quite as it seems. And there are those in very high places determined to stop the truth coming out, and Freud's startling theories taking root on American soil.

Money Men
This is the stranger-than-fiction story of Wirecard, once a $30 billion tech darling, now a smouldering wreck, by the journalist who brought it crashing down - perfect for those who loved Bad Blood and Empire of Pain.
When journalist Dan McCrum followed a tip to investigate the hot new tech company challenging Silicon Valley, everything about Wirecard looked a little too good to be true: offices were sprouting up around the world, it was reporting runaway growth and the CEO even wore a black turtleneck in tribute to Steve Jobs. In the space of a few short years, the company had come from nowhere to overtake industry giants like Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank on the stock market.
As McCrum dug deeper, he encountered a story stranger and more dangerous than he ever imagined: a world of short sellers and whistleblowers, pornographers and private militias, hackers and spies. Before long he realised that he wasn't the only one in pursuit. Shadowy figures were following him through the streets of London, high-flying lawyers were sending ominous letters to his boss, and he was named as the prime suspect in a criminal inquiry. The race was on to prove his suspicions and clear his name.
Money Men is the astonishing true story of Wirecard's multi-billion-dollar fraud, Europe's biggest new tech darling revealed as a house of cards.
Uncovering fake bank accounts, fake offices and possibly even a fake death, McCrum offers a searing exposé that will finally lay bare the truth.

Red Sparrow
Dominika Egorov, former prima ballerina, is sucked into the heart of Putin's Russia, the country she loved, as the twists and turns of a betrayal and counter-betrayal unravel.
American Nate Nash, idealistic and ambitious, handles the double agent, codenamed MARBLE, considered one of CIA's biggest assets. He needs to keep his identity secret for as long as the mole can keep supplying golden information.
Will Dominika be able to unmask MARBLE, or will the mission see her faith destroyed in the country she has always passionately defended?
'A great and dangerous spy-game is being played today between Russian intelligence and the CIA. Very few people know about it, including many of our politicians in Washington. But Jason Matthews does, and his thrilling Red Sparrow takes us deep inside this treacherous world. He's an insider's insider. He knows the secrets. And he is also a masterful story-teller. I loved this book and could not put it down. Neither will you' Vince Flynn
'Not since the good old days of the Cold War has a classic spy thriller like Red Sparrow come along. Jason Matthews is not making it up; he has lived this life and this story, and it shows on every page. High-level espionage, pulse-pounding danger, sex, double agents and double crosses. What more can any reader want?' Nelson DeMille
Eugenie Grandet
« Tout est grand dans ce célbre roman, sans que rien ne bouge. Eugénie est une sorte de sainte selon l'homme, toujours fidle une mme pensée, mais toute naturelle. [...] Eugénie est le premier personnage de ce drame d'amour [...] En Grandet, ce rocheux Grandet, il y a une source de tendresse émouvante, quand il se cache pour voir sa fille la toilette. [...] Au rebours on trouvera dans Eugénie tous les stratagmes du coeur, et un vrai courage affronter le terrible homme aux gants de cuir. On a tout dit sur Grandet. On a moins remarqué ce mot de reine, lorsque Eugénie se trouve maîtresse d'une immense fortune et assiégée d'intrigues. Elle répond : « Nous verrons cela» comme son pre faisait. [...] Ainsi l'âme de Grandet finit par tre sauvée. Balzac laboure la terre. »

Santiago Calatrava: Bridges
Santiago Calatrava is among the most important and influential architects of our times. His candid architecture is polarizing yet unmistakable. The trademark of the Spanish architect are sculptural bridge designs that gained international acclaim as a symbiosis of elegant shape vocabulary and engi - neering master feats and that shape the cityscapes in locations such as Jerusa - lem, Venice, and Dallas. This book is a special homage to his work: Santiago Calatrava in person talks about the visions on artistic-archi - tectural philosophies behind his unpar - alleled bridge designs. He also contrib - utes many descriptions of implemented and unimplemented projects, which, together with first drafts, water color paintings, as well as high-quality pho - tographs and renderings, document the selected projects.

Škandalózne vzťahy
Škandalózne vzťahy sú tri klasické erotické príbehy. Spájajú ich osudy hriešnych mužov, ktorí sa zapletú s mladými aristokratkami.
V prvom príbehu Ukradnuté radosti Sebastian Blake, gróf z Merricku, ušiel pred zodpovednosťou vyplývajúcou z jeho postavenia a stal sa neslávne známym pirátom. Na jednej z ulúpených lodí stretne energickú ženu a tá tvrdí, že je jeho nevesta. Vraj ich zosobášili ich otcovia prostredníctvom zástupcu.
Lucien Remington z poviedky Lucienov hazard je známy záletník, pre ktorého neplatia pravidlá ani v obchode, ani v posteli. Dostane všetko, na čo sa len pozrie. Spoločenské uznanie preňho nič neznamená. Je odhodlaný získať lady Julienne La Coeurovú. Raz sa táto krásna dáma vkradne prezlečená za muža do jeho klubu.
Jej šialená jasnosť Hugh La Coeur nikdy nechcel byť grófom. Zmyslom jeho života je víno, ženy a veľké stávky. Uprostred zimného dňa sa mu stane nehoda blízko navonok opusteného sídla, majetku šialenej vojvodkyne. Jej pôvabná spoločníčka Charlotte však pritiahne Hughovu pozornosť. S radosťou by strávil v jej posteli toľko času, koľko len bude možné.

Milan Kunc portréty
Život malíře, kreslíře, sochaře, keramika, autora instalací a performancí Milana Kunce (1944) je bytostně spjat s Prahou a Německem, se stejnou lehkostí se však pohyboval na americké, italské a nizozemské scéně. Většinu života strávil v Düsseldorfu (jako žák Josefa Beuyse a Gerharda Richtera) a Kolíně nad Rýnem. V tamější kultuře se naturalizoval natolik, že je dnes považován za jednoho z předních protagonistů německého figurativního malířství osmdesátých let.Dvojjazyčná (česko-německá) publikace Milan Kunc - Portréty / Portraits představuje umělce jako autora portrétních kreseb. Poodhalujeme tak specifickou část díla, která je širší veřejnosti - na rozdíl od malířské a sochařské tvorby - doposud méně známá. Ve skutečnosti ovšem kresba tvoří základní osu Kuncova díla a má takřka fundamentální význam. V několikatisícovém souboru jeho kreseb má právě portrét zcela jedinečné a takřka výsadní postavení. Podobizny Milana Kunce mají charakteristickou poetiku, jež někdy pramení ze záměrného, mnohdy až naivistického rázu kresby. Portréty prezentované v této obrazové knize, rozdělené do tematických oddílů, oscilují mezi groteskností a citlivou psychologickou studií lidské duše.
