A young boy, Jim Hawkins, lives quietly by the sea with his mother and father until Billy Bones comes to live with them. From that day on, everything is different and Jim soon meets Long John Silver and travels with him in search of Treasure Island. "Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

Catholicism
In dramatic stories and sweeping panoramas, distinguished historian John T. McGreevy tells the mesmerising story of a Church torn between the forces of reform and reaction for the past 250 years. Anti-monarchist French clerics celebrated the Revolution, but the murder of priests and destruction of churches in the Terror galvanised a powerful conservative reaction that reverberates to this day. Missionaries around the world greatly expanded the Church's influence while bringing new tensions between a culturally diverse syncretism and the ultimate authority of Rome. The aspirations of the faithful for justice in this world-African Catholics fighting for independence, Latin Americans developing a theology of liberation, Polish and South Korean Catholics demanding democratic governments-challenged the politically cautious. The cataclysms of the Second World War, decolonisation, the Second Vatican Council and clerical sexual abuse have each remade the Church, leaving Pope Francis with the superhuman task of charting a path for over one billion Catholics worldwide.
Alica v krajine zázrakov
Popredný slovenský ilustrátor Dušan Kállay dostal za ilustrovanie knihy prestížnu Cenu H. Ch. Andersena a počas výstavy k 150. výročiu vydania Alice v krajine zázrakov získalo to slovenské hlavnú cenu Grolier Clubu ako najkrajšie vydanie spomedzi všetkých na svete.
Príbehy o Alici v krajine zázrakov a za zrkadlom, ktoré povymýšľal a spísal ešte v 19. storočí anglický matematik a profesor na univerzite v Oxforde Lewis Carroll, sa stali obľúbenými prakticky na celom svete. Alicu poznajú deti a dospelí rovnako ako Pippi Dlhú pančuchu, Pinocchia alebo Medvedíka Pú. Je známa vec, že matematici majú už z titulu svojho zamestnania neraz veľkú tvorivú fantáziu a zmysel pre obdivuhodné kombinácie, paradoxy a nezmysly. Zmysel pre krásne a bláznivé nezmysly mal aj Lewis Carroll - a jeho Alica sa v tom fantastickom nezmyselnom svete pohybuje s detskou samozrejmosťou a bezstarostnosťou, až dospelí nevychádzajú z údivu. A občas si pritom aj zaveršuje a zaspieva. Jej bláznivé príbehy by mali pobaviť nielen deti, ale aj rodičov či už starých alebo mladých.

The Game
A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.It started out like any other Tuesday.I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.It would be wrong, wouldn’t it? Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

ROMAN SINGER
Since the mid 1970s Roman Signer's work has examined the forces of the elements - air, fire, earth and water - in a combination of performance (documented by photography and video) and sculpture (the physical remains of his acts). With a Dadaist love for the absurd, his artworks include "Race" (1981), a video performance in which the artist races a lit fuse across a field (hopelessly behind from the outset, the artist loses by nearly the entire length), "Action at Hotel Weissbad" (1992), in which an ordinary table is shot out a hotel window, the resulting photographs showing a table flying incongruously over a sleepy, snowy Swiss village, "Falling from a Bridge" (1980), in which wooden boxes are dropped from a great height into a rushing river, bursting into fragments with a thunderous crash, and "Bicycle with Rockets" (1991), the photographs of which show a fiery bicycle flying through the gallery like a demon comet. Often Signer will exhibit in the gallery the remains of an event not witnessed by the public, such as four empty barrels and a violently splattered wall, the remains of an explosion of paint in the gallery space ("Portrait Gallery", 1993), or four sand piles with perfectly round craters on each, the neat results of four fuse explosions at their top ("Cones of Sand", 1988). Roman Signer is an extremely respected artist worldwide. He represented Switzerland at the 1999 Venice Biennale and was included in Documenta 8 (1987) and Skulptur Projekte Munster (1997), among many other group exhibitions. Over the course of the past 25 years he has shown at nearly all the key European museums and kunsthalles. American venues have included the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (1998) and the Renaissance Society in Chicago (1991).

Dead Men Don't Tell Tales
Guy Martin can't sit still. He has to keep pushing - both himself and whatever machine he is piloting - to the extreme. He's a doer, not a talker.
That applies whether Guy's competing in a self-supported 750-mile mountain bike race across Arizona, or trying to reach 300mph in a standing mile on the 800-horsepower motorbike he built in his shed. And during his TV adventures, travelling through Japan, winning records for the world's fastest tractor, re-creating the famous Steve McQueen Great Escape jump, discovering the toil and sacrifice of the D-Day landings and trying to cut the mustard as a Battle of Britain pilot.
Guy's become a dad now and he's hoping that one day his daughter will grow up to be a better welder than he is. Oh, and he's still getting up at 5am to work on trucks in for service or to be out on his tractor, working the Lincolnshire land he's always called home.
This is Guy Martin's latest book, in his own words, on the last four years of his life that make the rest of us look like we're in slow motion.
We're here for a good time, not a long time. To Guy, if it's worth doing, it's worth dying for.

Jane Campion on Jane Campion
A chronological overview of one of modern cinema’s most celebrated directors, featuring interviews with Jane Campion herself.
Awarded Best Cinema Album by the French Syndicate of Film Critics.
Jane Campion on Jane Campion offers a unique perspective on the creative process of one of cinema’s greatest contemporary film directors. Through a series of interviews beginning in the early days of Campion’s career and conducted by award-winning cinema historian Michel Ciment, each chapter contains the study of a film, starting with the short films that Campion made during her studies at the Australian Film Television and Radio School, then moving through the Academy Award–winning The Piano, The Portrait of a Lady, Holy Smoke, In the Cut, Bright Star, the TV series Top of the Lake, and ending with the Academy Award–winning The Power of the Dog.
Organized chronologically, film by film, the interviews are illustrated with film stills and photographs taken on set, as well as with annotated scripts, storyboards, and personal documents lent by Campion. The book also reproduces three short stories and a text about the poet John Keats written by the director, along with actress Holly Hunter’s “Scattered Memories” of their collaborations on The Piano and Top of the Lake. A detailed bibliography and filmography of the filmmaker complete this volume, which contains more than 300 color and black-and-white illustrations.
Practical Mysticism
In this short work (subtitled "A Little Book For Normal People") Evelyn Underhill, one of the 20th Century's leading scholars of Christian Mysticism, seeks "to put the view of the universe and man's place in it which is common to all mystics in plain and untechnical language; and to suggest the practical conditions under which ordinary persons may participate in their experience."

White Stripes - Complete John Peel Sessions CD
The White Stripes bola americká rocková dvojica založená v roku 1997 v meste Detroit. Jej členmi boli Jack White a Meg White. Potom, ako vydali niekoľko albumov a singlov sa v roku 2002 dostali do väčšieho povedomia verejnosti ako súčasť garage rock revival scény.
Vôbec prvé oficiálne vydanie The White Stripes Peel Sessions. Zachytenie Jacka a Meg na priepasti medzinárodného renomé v rozruchu „White Blood Cells“, ich dve živé relácie so známym DJ-om BBC Johnom Peelom sú pravdepodobne najlepším dokumentom White Stripes tej doby.

How to Be
What is the nature of things? Must I think my own way through the world? What is justice? How can I be me? How should we treat each other?
Before the Greeks, the idea of the world was dominated by god-kings and their priests, in a life ruled by imagined metaphysical monsters. 2,500 years ago, in a succession of small eastern Mediterranean harbour-cities, that way of thinking began to change. Men (and some women) decided to cast off mental subservience and apply their own worrying and thinking minds to the conundrums of life.
These great innovators shaped the beginnings of philosophy. Through the questioning voyager Odysseus, Homer explored how we might navigate our way through the world. Heraclitus in Ephesus was the first to consider the interrelatedness of things. Xenophanes of Colophon was the first champion of civility. In Lesbos, the Aegean island of Sappho and Alcaeus, the early lyric poets asked themselves 'How can I be true to myself?' In Samos, Pythagoras imagined an everlasting soul and took his ideas to Italy where they flowered again in surprising and radical forms.
Prize-winning and bestselling writer Adam Nicolson travels through this transforming world and asks what light these ancient thinkers can throw on our deepest preconceptions. Sparkling with maps, photographs and artwork, How to Be is a journey into the origins of Western thought.
Hugely formative ideas emerged in these harbour-cities: fluidity of mind, the search for coherence, a need for the just city, a recognition of the mutability of things, a belief in the reality of the ideal - all became the Greeks' legacy to the world.
Born out of a rough, dynamic-and often cruel- moment in human history, it was the dawn of enquiry, where these fundamental questions about self, city and cosmos, asked for the first time, became, as they remain, the unlikely bedrock of understanding.
Yves Saint Laurent: Flora
Produced with the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakech, this book examines how flowers served as the designer’s muse throughout his life and work.
Yves Saint Laurent’s passion for flowers and gardens was the source of endless inspiration. From a thousand and one rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of bougainvillea to delicate poppy blooms, and from sheaves of wheat to majestic lilies, he metamorphosed nature in his creations. Employing flowers as a palette of patterns and techniques, he adorned women in floral appliqués, prints, and embroideries.
Under the direction of Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, this volume features texts from Serena Bucalo-Mussely, Emanuele Coccia, Marc Jeanson, and Olivier Saillard that explore the symbolism and role of flowers throughout the history of fashion and at Yves Saint Laurent. Archival design sketches, photographs of the collections and runway shows, and scenes of the designer at work accompany images by Sarah Braeck that offer a poetic interpretation of the couturier’s work. This book accompanies exhibitions at the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakech in 2024 and 2025.
Temné hmoty 2. vydanie
Knižná trilógia Temné hmoty zachytáva cestu Lyry, ktorá vyrastá medzi učencami na Oxfordskej univerzite. V jej svete má každý človek svojho démona – dušu v zvieracej podobe. Žije bezstarostný život malej divošky až do chvíle, kým si nevypočuje prednášku o tajomnom prachu a kým z jej okolia nezačnú miznúť deti. Keď sa stratí aj Lyrin najlepší priateľ, rozhodne sa ho vyhľadať. Na ceste ju sprevádza nielen zvláštny prístroj – alethiomer, ktorý tomu, kto s ním vie pracovať, odpovie na všetky otázky, ale aj noví priatelia.
Trilógiou Temné hmoty si britský spisovateľ fantasy a popredný predstaviteľ britského ateizmu Philip Pullman zabezpečil svetový úspech. Získal viacero významných literárnych ocenení, predovšetkým cenu Nibbie a Whitbreadovu cenu za najlepšiu britskú knihu roka.
Podľa knihy Zlatý kompas bol nakrútený rovnomenný film v réžii Chrisa Weitza s hviezdnym hereckým obsadením. Trilógiu v produkcii britskej stanice BBC plánujú do minisérie spracovať režisér Tom Hooper (Kráľova reč, Bedári) a scenárista Jack Thorne (Harry Potter a prekliate dieťa).
Philip Pullman sa po vyše dvadsiatich rokoch od prvého vydania Zlatého kompasu vracia do sveta Oxfordu a Jordánskeho kolégia v prvej časti fantasy série Kniha prachu – La Belle Sauvage (IKAR, 2018).
