Staring from the Hill
When Norbert asked me to write an introduction to his comic I was honoured, but also a little lost. I have never attempted something like that before and I didn't know where to start? With a wise quote? Cultural reference? How to tie it all together? Right now I am literally just a few minutes after visiting Casa Batlló, probably the most complex realisation of Antonio Gaudi, the famous modernist architect and visionary from Catalonia. I am going to tell you one thing- this comic is like this building. Via its subtly bent doors it invites [you] into its remarkable interior full of intricately twisted lines, how very pedestrian in their application. Because, all appearances aside, Casa Batlló is a regular tenement building. There is probably nothing more prosaic then that for a building. But for its inhabitants, living in the interiors inspired by the sea flora and fauna, must have been a real adventure. Likewise "Staring from the Hill" simply talks about the every-day reality of a group of friends, who above all cherish their mutual company, music and juice. And similar to Gaudi's works all of that is served with a handful of surrealism, love of colour, light and form, and gigantic dose of vision. Flipping the pages is like climbing up a twisted staircase - you never know what might lurk around the next bend. There are only two things which are certainone, that shortly you will reach yet another astounding floor, and the other, that at the end of it you will be lead to the rooftop adorned with a ceramic dragon, where you can see a really beautiful panorama of Barcelona. This comic really is like Gaudi's architecture. You will find out yourselves. Just let the rhythm of the staircase carry you. The only remaining thing is to wish the author that, like the architect of La Sagrada Familia, he may be appreciated by us - his contemporaries. And that thanks to this he obtains the means necessary to allow us to climb the stairs of his imagination towards the sky, which, as you will find out after reading "Staring from the Hill", will never be the same again.

Túl a Maszat-hegyen - CD melléklettel
Varró Dániel nagy sikerű gyerekkönyvének, melyből számos előadás készült, új és javított kiadása.
A Túl a Maszat-hegyen című történet hőse, Muhi Andris nem is sejti, mire vállalkozik, mikor elindul a Maszathegyen túlra, hogy meglátogassa régen látott jóbarátját. Maszat Jankát, Makula bácsit, Szösz nénét és a Maszat-hegy többi békés lakóját ugyanis nagy veszedelmek fenyegetik.
A könyv verses meseregény, verselésében és hangütésében a klasszikus verses regényeket idézi (Puskint, Byront, Arany Lászlót), a történet viszont kalandos, modern tündérmese. Többnyire gyermeki témákon mereng el a mesélő - hogy csúfolták gyerekkorában, vagy milyen az ideális gombfocikapu. A elbeszélést számos játékos, dallamos betétvers egészíti ki. Találhatnak benne kedvükre valót a kis- és nagyiskolások, a szüleik; a kalandok és izgalmak, a csendes ealmélkedések és az irodalmi ínyencségek kedvelői egyaránt.

Lady Audley's Secret
Graceful and lovely Lady Audley may not be all that she seems in this Victorian-era equivalent of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl--with an introduction by Flynn Berry, the Edgar Award-winning author of Under the Harrow and A Double Life Lady Audley is young, beautiful, and universally adored. Everyone comments on her sweet nature and her perfect marriage to the wealthy and aristocratic Sir Michael Audley. Sir Michael's nephew Robert is equally struck by his new aunt's angelic ways--until he notices the strange, terrifying effect Lady Audley has on his friend George Talboys. When George mysteriously vanishes, Robert is convinced that Lady Audley is neither as innocent nor as helpless as she appears, and he sets out to discover what secrets lie in Lady Audley's past. A bestseller when it was first published in 1862, Lady Audley's Secret shocked readers because it dared to suggest that beneath a perfect surface a woman might be willing to lie, con, and even kill for the life she wanted. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.

Hercules munkái
Hercule Poirot ránézésre igazán nem emlékeztet egy antik görög hősre. Azonban - érvel a legendás nyomozó - ő is, mint Hercules, azt a feladatot vállalta magára, hogy megszabadítja a társadalmat annak legrémisztőbb szörnyetegeitől.
Nyugdíjazásának békés napjaira készülődvén Poirot úgy dönt, hogy már csak tizenkét esetet vállal: ezek lesznek az ő személyes "herkulesi munkái", olyan különleges ügyek, amelyek méltók a kis belga zsenialitásához, és amelyek mind a következtetés művészetének hőstetteiként vonulnak majd be a bűnügyi krónikákba.

Blue Effect - Nová syntéza: komplet 2CD
V roce 1971 to byla opravdová událost: rocková kapela Blue Effect spojila síly s Jazzovým orchestrem Čs. rozhlasu. Studiový záznam, podpořený koncertní prezentací skladeb, sloučil dvě předtím zdánlivě neslučitelné party. V našich poměrech byl překvapením, byť jinak pojatá spolupráce beatu a big bandu by se našla, viz Odyssea brněnského Atlantiku a Gustava Broma. Pražské album však šlo jiným směrem: čistě instrumentální obsah byl více velkokapelovým jazzem než rockem, ale rázní rytmici Kozel a Čech, excelentní kytarista Hladík a klávesák Semelka sekundovali více než zdatně. O tři roky mladší pokračování je již většinou zpívané, byť rozhodně nejde o tříminutové popěvky. S texty Pavla Vrby, Borise Janíčka a Eduarda Pergnera si pánové Semelka a Kůstka poradili skvěle, hudební část pak již naznačovala, že experiment chytá brzy potvrzené spíše rockové parametry. Tato reedice nabízí remasterovaný zvuk, rekonstruovaný obal, dokumentární sleeve notes a fotografie + CD bonusy. Ty jsou tvořeny u prvního alba více než dvacetiminutovou variací JOČRu na Chačaturjanovu hudbu k baletu Gajané (poprvé na CD, sólo také Radim Hladík), ve druhém případě třemi instrumentálními skladbami M. Efektu, na druhou Syntézu v mnohém navazujícími.

Shylock is My Name
Who is this guy, Dad? What is he doing here?' With an absent wife and a daughter going off the rails, wealthy art collector and philanthropist Simon Strulovitch is in need someone to talk to. So when he meets Shylock at a cemetery in Cheshire's Golden Triangle, he invites him back to his house. It's the beginning of a remarkable friendship. Elsewhere in the Golden Triangle, the rich, manipulative Plurabelle (aka Anna Livia Plurabelle Cleopatra A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever Christine) is the face of her own TV series, existing in a bubble of plastic surgery and lavish parties. She shares prejudices and a barbed sense of humour with her loyal friend D'Anton, whose attempts to play Cupid involve Strulovitch's daughter - and put a pound of flesh on the line. Howard Jacobson's version of The Merchant of Venice bends time to its own advantage as it asks what it means to be a father, a Jew and a merciful human being in the modern world.
Stormrage - World of Warcraft
Many centuries have passed since the young night elf Malfurion Stormrage became the principal hero in War of the Ancients. Having saved both his people and the world of Azeroth from the demons of the Burning Legion, Malfurion sought to start life anew with his beloved Tyrande Whisperwind, high priestess of the moon goddess.

Unable to decipher the cause of these nightmares, the great archdruid dared to cast his astral form into the befouled, mystical realm...and then became lost. Now, with his physical body lying comatose, a search commences to discover Stormrage's fate and, if possible, initiate his rescue. But the threat that has taken the archdruid is more powerful than ever...
How to Change Your Mind
The No.1 New York Times Bestseller
'Gripping and surprising ... Pollan makes losing your mind sound like the sanest thing a person could do' The New York Times Book Review
Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? One of America's most admired writers takes us on a mind-altering journey to the frontiers of human consciousness
When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people? Diving deep into this extraordinary world and putting himself forwardas a guinea-pig, Michael Pollan has written a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinatedby the implications of these drugs. How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of human consciousness.
