Lacná kniha The Fifth Risk (-70%)
The phenomenal new book from the international bestselling author of The Big Short'The election happened ... And then there was radio silence.'The morning after Trump was elected president, the people who ran the US Department of Energy - an agency that deals with some of the most powerful risks facing humanity - waited to welcome the incoming administration's transition team. Nobody appeared.
Across the US government, the same thing happened: nothing. People don't notice when stuff goes right. That is the stuff government does.
It manages everything that underpins our lives from funding free school meals, to policing rogue nuclear activity, to predicting extreme weather events. It steps in where private investment fears to tread, innovates and creates knowledge, assesses extreme long-term risk. And now, government is under attack.
By its own leaders. In The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis reveals the combustible cocktail of wilful ignorance and venality that is fuelling the destruction of a country's fabric. All of this, Lewis shows, exposes America and the world to the biggest risk of all.
It is what you never learned that might have saved you.

Schiele
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn't prove to be too big a challenge.
His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt's hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele's work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.
Although his works were later defamed as "degenerate" and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists-from Gunter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.
This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele's life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.

Veľkolepá biografia Rogera Federera, tenisovej ikony
Na trhu je mnoho kníh o Rogerovi Federerovi, no ani jedna tak dôverne nepribližuje tohto športovca, jeho podporný tím a najelitnejších svetových tenistov vrátane rivalov, ako sú Rafael Nadal, Novak Djoković a Andy Roddick ako táto publikácia. V knihe, ktorú držíte v rukách, sa autor Christopher Clarey rozpráva s Federerom a jeho najbližšími a odhaľuje život tohto tenisového velikána.
Hra Rogera Federera často vyzerá až neuveriteľne jednoducho. Prepracovanými bekhendmi, šmýkajúcimi sa forhendmi a smečmi vo výskoku doslova popiera gravitáciu a zotrváva na tenisovom výslní napriek cynizmu, ktorým je svet športu presýtený. Jeho profesionálny prerod z náladového tínedžera s odfarbenými vlasmi na sebaistého a elegantného tenistu je však výsledkom dlhoročnej driny, nie šťastných okolností. Roger nemá len obrovský talent. Vyniká odvahou a húževnatosťou.
Christopher Clarey, v súčasnosti jeden z najlepších medzinárodných športových novinárov, písal o Federerovi od jeho profesionálnych začiatkov. Autor sa sústreďuje na kľúčových ľudí, miesta a míľniky vo Federerovej dlhej a bohatej kariére. Ukazuje jeho jedinečnú životnú cestu plnú víťazstiev aj niekoľkých zdrvujúcich porážok. Cestu, ktorá nanovo definovala pojem „svetová jednotka“ a priniesla Federerovi nevídaný obdiv fanúšikov.

Goddess
The classic, definitive biography of Marilyn Monroe, now updated in the year of the 60th anniversary of the iconic star's death - soon to be a major Netflix film, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Untold Tapes
'Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will' Guardian
More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world. Her life was a contrast of public brilliance and private misery, her death a tragedy suffused by dark questions - about her relations with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.
Generál Milan Lučanský - Kto bol a prečo zomrel
Nečakaná a vo svojej podstate záhadná (keďže až do poslednej chvíle oficiálnymi vyhláseniami zamlžovaná) smrť generála Milana Lučanského hlboko zasiahla slovenskú spoločnosť. Prejavilo sa to v okamžitom hnutí "AllforMilan" a spoluúčasti nielen verejnosti, ale aj jeho kolegov na uctení si jeho pamiatky natruc režimu, v ktorého rukách skonal.
Autor tejto knihy spoznal generála Lučanského v auguste 2010 za neobvyklých okolností, keď bol Lučanský ako elitný policajný vyšetrovateľ spolu s inými kolegami použitím intríg doslova vyštvaný do civilu dvojicou Lipšic - Spišiak. V takých chvíľach sa nikto na nič nehrá. Vtedy vznikol rozhovor, ktorý nájdete aj v tejto knihe.
Po zmene vlády sa Milan Lučanský vrátil do vysokých policajných funkcií a opäť sa s autorom stretli na príprave série televíznych dokumentov "Mafiáni" (RTVS, 2016), v ktorých aj účinkoval. Bol to vzor nepodkupného policajta a príklad priamočiaro konajúceho chlapa v uniforme. O tomto mimoriadne statočnom policajtovi a jeho nešťastnom konci života je táto kniha...

Lacná kniha Becoming (-70%)
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United StatesIn a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America - the first African-American to serve in that role - she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.
Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.
Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations - and whose story inspires us to do the same.
