25 Erotica Universalis HC
This is an erotic history of humanity. From the dawn of time, ever since Adam and Eve, all artists of every age - whether the Egyptian, Greek and Roman artists of Antiquity, or more recent famous names as Rembrandt, Courbet, Degas or Picasso - have succumbed to their fantasies, obsessions and libido, and produced erotic works that the censors have taken good care to keep from the public. For Erotica, we surface from the subterranean realms of the museums to enter those of our national and private libraries. Here we discover that not only most of our famous writers, such as Ovid, Aretino, Voltaire, Verlaine or Maupassant, wrote erotic texts that bordered on indecency, but also that great artists like Boucher, Fragonard, Dali or Matisse were inspired to provide suitable illustrations for these naughty books. For this new hardcover edition, we have culled highlights from our Erotica Universalis collection. It is a banquet for the imagination and a feast of the eye.

Dějiny čtení
Ve své knize Dějiny čtení dosáhl spisovatel, překladatel, editor a především milovník knih a čtení Albert Manguel (nar. 1948) ideálního souladu mezi odborností a vášnivým zaujetím. Jeho pojetí čtení je postaveno na osobních vyznáních, útržcích z vlastního života včetně zasvětitelského zážitku, kdy ho téměř slepý J. L. Borges jednou v Buenos Aires požádal, aby k němu docházel a předčítal mu. Manguel představuje různé typy čtení (tiché čtení, předčítání, autorské čtení, věštění z knih a další), jejichž výklad často začíná historkami ze života známých spisovatelů či osobností kultury. To vše je zakotveno v historii, dějinnosti, která dává možnost vidět, jak se čtení proměňovalo a jakými zásadními zlomy procházelo a jaké hmotné prostředky v té které době mělo k dispozici (papyrus, pergamen, knihtisk, ale třeba i brýle). Manguelova kniha nás sugestivním způsobem svého výkladu přesvědčuje, že i našimi osobními čtenářskými životopisy probíhá velký „příběh" dějin čtení.

Roverandom (Pocket Hardback)
J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy story about the adventures of a bewitched toy dog, written before The Hobbit. While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To console him, his father, J.R.R.Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, was Tolkien's first full-length children's book, written before The Hobbit. Now, nearly 90 years later, the adventures of Rover - or, for reasons that become clear in the story, 'Roverandom' - are published in this delightful pocket hardback edition. Rich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Tolkien experts Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond, and includes Tolkien's own delightful illustrations.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"This special edition of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPre. " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal -- even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.

Prvotina Ivana Blatného (1919-1990) Paní Jitřenka (1940) a po ní následující Melancholické procházky (1942) je zpěvnou lyrikou, má názvuky seifertovské i nezvalovské, je adorací rodného Brna. Sugestivní melodičnost, melancholické ladění, mládí proměněné v naléhavost poezie. Městskou kulisu má také třetí sbírka napsaná v intencích Skupiny 42. Návrat k rytmicky pravidelnému verši přináší Hledání přítomného času (1947). Blatný, Kainarův druh (bydleli spolu), byl se dvěma dalšími autory vyslán Syndikátem čs. spisovatelů do Velké Británie a 29. března 1948 se rozhodl emigrovat. Čekal ho svízelný úděl - záhy u něho propukla duševní choroba. Od r. 1954 až do smrti byl hospitalizován na psychiatrické klinice. Poezii přesto neopustil. R. 1969 byl v Anglii `objeven` svým bratrancem. Z bohaté pozůstalosti byly publikovány básně v souborech Stará bydliště a Pomocná škola Bixley, poprvé vyšly v nakladatelství 68 Publishers v Torontu.

Desátek
Lydie Romanská (*1943) prožívá svůj život tak trochu stranou hlavních cest v prostředí Ostravska, kdysi výrazně dělnickém. Navzdory tomu je básnířkou s intenzivním vztahem k umění, a to nejen slovesnému. V civilním povolání řídí Základní uměleckou školu v Ostravě-Svinově a diriguje dětský pěvecký sbor Cantabo. Do jejího světa neodmyslitelně patří i životní druh, hudební skladatel Dobroslav Lidmila, mj. tvůrce vokálních skladeb na texty své ženy. (Viz fragmenty partitur použité k ilustracím v této knize.) Přestože značná část publikačních aktivit Lydie Romanské je také spojena s Ostravou, rozhodně není autorkou regionální. Náš svazek s názvem Desátek — výbor z deseti tiskem vydaných básnických knih — dokazuje, že její tvorba má místo v kontextu celé české lyriky. Nepostrádá typickou ženskou jemnost a senzitivnost, ale jak poznamenává editor svazku Jiří Urbanec „stále se pokouší pochopit a scelit obraz světa, který je navýsost i ve zdánlivě zastrčených a nevšímaných detailech dramatický...“

Nippoldt, Berlin
It was the age of drag balls, Metropolis, and Josephine Baker. Of scientific breakthroughs, literary verve, and the political chaos of the Weimar Republic. After the best-selling Hollywood in the 30sand Jazz: New York in the Roaring Twenties, illustratorRobert Nippoldtteams up with author Boris Pofalla to evoke the fast-moving, freewheeling metropolisthat was Berlin in the 1920s.
Like a cinematographic city tour through time, Berlin of the Roaring Twentiestakes in the urban scale and the intricate details of this transformative decade, from sweeping street panoramas, bejeweled with new electric lights, to the foxtrot and tango steps tapped out on dance floors all over town. With characteristic graphic mastery of light, shadow, and expression, as well as a silver-printing sheen, Nippoldt intersperses portraits with cityscapes, revealing the changing scenery and dynamic hubs of this burgeoning and rapidly industrializing capital, as well as the extraordinary protagoniststhat made up its hotbed scene of art, science, and ideas.
With an avid eye on the eccentrics and outlaws who set the tone in this heady age as much as the established “greats,” Nippoldt includes rich profiles not only of the likes of Lotte Reiniger, Christopher Isherwood, Albert Einstein, Kurt Weill, Marlene Dietrich, andGeorge Grosz, but also of “the woman with ten brains” Thea Alba, “Einstein of Sex” Magnus Hirschfeld, and the city’s notorious criminal Adolf Leib. The book also showcases some of the most prominent cultural and political phenomena of the time, whether the most iconic film characters or the frenzied chaos of the Weimar government cabinet.
But beyond the people and the places, above all the book captures the incomparable and ineffable spirit of time and place, of an epoch suspended between two world wars and a country caught between joie-de-vivre daring and the darkness of encroaching National Socialism. Before the night falls, Nippoldt shows it all to us: the bright lights and the backstage whispers, the looming factories and the theoretical physics, the roar of the sports hall and the hush of the theater, the songs of the Comedian Harmonists, the satire of George Grosz, and that gender-bending icon Marlene Dietrich, as she lights up a cigarette in top hat, tuxedo, and come-to-bed eyes.

Mammoth Book of Zombies
The zombie - a soulless corpse raised from the grave to do its master's bidding - may have had its factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of the West Indies, but it is in fiction, movies, video games and comics that the walking dead have flourished. What makes a zombie? This Twentieth Anniversary Edition of one of the first and most influential zombie anthologies answers that question with 26 tales of rot and resurrection from classic authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, M. R. James and J. Sheridan Le Fanu, along with modern masters of the macabre Clive Barker, Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, Hugh B. Cave, Joe R. Lansdale, Brian Lumley, Graham Masterton, Kim Newman, Michael Marshall Smith, Lisa Tuttle, Karl Edward Wagner and many more. From Caribbean rituals to ancient magic, mesmerism to modern science, these terrifying tales depict a wide range of nefarious methods and questionable reasons for bringing the dead back to life again.

We Learn Nothing
"Kreider locates the right simile and the pith of situations as he carefully catalogues humanity's inventive and manifold ways of failing" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In We Learn Nothing, satirical cartoonist Tim Kreider turns his funny, brutally honest eye to the dark truths of the human condition, asking big questions about human-sized problems: What if you survive a brush with death and it doesn't change you? Why do we fall in love with people we don't even like? How do you react when someone you've known for years unexpectedly changes genders? With a perfect combination of humor and pathos, these essays, peppered with Kreider's signature cartoons, leave us with newfound wisdom and a unique prism through which to examine our own chaotic journeys through life. These are the conversations you have only with best friends or total strangers, late at night over drinks, near closing time. This edition also includes the sensationally popular essay "The Busy Trap," as seen in the New York Times.
