Jude The Obscure
Hardy's masterpiece traces a poor stonemason's ill-fated romance with his free-spirited cousin. No Victorian institution is spared — marriage, religion, education — and the outrage following publication led the embittered author to renounce fiction. Modern critics hail this novel as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought.

20th Century Boys The Perfect Edition 2
A deluxe bind-up edition of Naoki Urasawa's award-winning epic of doomsday cults, giant robots and a group of friends trying to save the world from destruction!
Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969, during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world.
Kenji races home and picks up the newspaper: sure enough, the mystery microbe has hit London. He thinks back over everything that has happened and what he and his childhood friends dug up, and is forced to face the unbelievable truth-someone really is putting into motion the story Kenji made up as a child, and people are dying because of it!
It turns out that the Friend's plan to destroy the world was dreamed up long ago by a group of boys playing "good guys against bad guys." And now, the only one who can stop this diabolical plot from succeeding is the one who came up with it-Kenji!
The Irish Franciscans in Prague 1629–1786
At the end of the sixteenth century, Queen Elizabeth I forced the Irish Franciscans into exile. Of the four continental provinces to which the Irish Franciscans fled, the Prague Franciscan College of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary was the largest in its time. This monograph documents this intense point of contact between two small European lands, Ireland and Bohemia. The Irish exiles changed the course of Bohemian history in significant ways, both positive — the Irish students and teachers of medicine who contributed to Bohemia’s culture and sciences— and negative — the Irish officers who participated in the murder of Albrecht of Valdštejn and their successors who served in the Imperial forces. Dealing with a hitherto largely neglected theme, Parez and Kucharová attempt to place the Franciscan College within Bohemian history and to document the activities of its members. This wealth of historical material from the Czech archives, presented in English for the first time, will be of great aid for international researchers, particularly those interested in Bohemia or the Irish diaspora.

Muži mi to vysvetlia
Vo svojej komickej, ostrej eseji s názvom Muži mi to vysvetlia pomenúva Rebecca Solnit častý problém rozhovorov medzi mužmi a ženami. Píše o mužoch, ktorí mylne predpokladajú, že niečo vedia a mylne predpokladajú, že ženy to nevedia; píše o tom, kde táto domnienka pramení a ako funguje v praxi.
V knihe je okrem tejto, dnes už známej eseje, šesť ďalších vrátane zamyslenia nad spôsobom, akým spisovateľka Virginia Woolfová prijala tajomstvo, nevedomosť, pochybnosť a dvojznačnosť; originálne skúmanie rovnosti v manželstve a desivé zhrnutie rozsahu násilia páchaného na ženách.
Rebecca Solnit svojím čitateľsky prístupným štýlom dokazuje, že je jednou z najvplyvnejších mysliteliek feministického hnutia.
„Muži mi to stále vysvetľujú. A žiaden z nich sa mi nikdy neospravedlnil za to, že mi nesprávne vysvetľoval niečo, čo poznám, a on nie.“

Lacná kniha Jak to všechno bylo, pane Werichu? - 2.vydání (-90%)
Igor Inov (1930-2003) vlastním jménem Igor Ivanov, ruský básník a překladatel, milovník české literatury a dlouholetý přítel Jana Wericha. Věnoval se i divadelní a literární historii, měl pevné vazby na českou kulturní obec. V roce 1971 vydal v Moskvě monografii o Janu Werichovi, jejíž prodej byl po zásahu československých orgánů pozastaven. Publikace vyšla v tuzemsku poprvé až v roce 1992 pod názvem `Jak to všechno bylo, pane Werichu?` Inov proslul také jako překladatel významných českých básníků Vítězslava Nezvala, Františka Halase, Františka Hrubína a Vladimíra Holana. Překládal i prózu Ivana Olbrachta, Marie Majerové, Eduarda Basse a dalších. Díky němu řada tuzemských literátů pronikla do povědomí ruských čtenářů. Jeho vlastní básnická tvorba je neodmyslitelně spjata s krajinou Podkarpatské Rusi. Inov byl rovněž velkým příznivcem díla Karla a Josefa Čapkových. Aktivně se podílel na činnosti Společnosti bratří Čapků v Petrohradě.
