A rocktörténet közel fél évszázadát felölelő Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall bemutatja a világ legnépszerűbb pszichedelikus együttesének drámai és izgalmas történetét. A Pink Floyd első átfogó, illusztrált krónikájában tanúi lehetünk a korai cambridge-i szárnypróbálgatásaiknak, átélhetjük, ahogy Syd Barrett dalszövegeket ír, ahogy elkészül a Dark Side of the Moon stúdióanyaga, de annak is, ahogy összekülönböznek egymással a zenekar tagjai.
Fedezzük fel a dalok mögött rejlő titkokat, ismerjük meg a legendás fényshow-k és színpadi technika fejlődését, a metsző vitákat és még sok érdekes kulisszatitkot. A teljes diszkográfia mellett a könyvben több mint 200 képet találunk Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright és Nick Mason fellépéseiről, közöttük ritka koncertfotókat, de a koncerttermeken kívüli életük őszinte dokumentumait is. A Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall betekintést enged az olvasónak az egyik valaha is színpadra lépő legforradalmibb együttes titkokkal teli életébe.
Ďáblův stůl
V odlehlých končinách v americkém státě Nové Mexiko se v roce 1947 stalo něco, co dodnes nedá spát nejen vědcům, politikům a vojákům, ale ani dychtivým zájemcům o nevysvětlitelné záhady. Archeoložka Nora Kellyová po kategorickém odmítání, které ji dokonce stojí místo v Institutu, souhlasí s tím, že se ujme vykopávek v místě, kde podle všeho dopadl neznámý objekt. Ale co to bylo? Právě to chce zjistit skvěle vybavený tým miliardáře Lucase Tappana, který Noru nakonec přemluví ke spolupráci.
Jenže slibně se rozbíhající výzkum brzy naruší podivné události: zmizení významného vědce, objev nečekaných pozůstatků, ale především nález předmětu, který vzbuzuje velké naděje i obavy. Takže se není co divit, že se Ďáblově stole objeví také agenti FBI – a Nora se znovu setkává se svými „starými známými“ Corrie Swansonovou a šerifem Homerem Wattsem. A to je teprve začátek, protože do hry se vzápětí zapojí tajemná vojenská organizace, která chce vykopávky zastavit – za každou cenu.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by American humorist Mark Twain. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It is also one of the first major American novels written using Local Color Regionalism, or vernacular, told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and hero of three other Mark Twain books.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing Southern antebellum society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

A Polyantha titka - Penelope of the Polyantha
This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1926 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Penelope of the Polyantha' is a crime novel by this pioneer of detective fiction. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at St. Peter's School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment circumstances, Wallace went into the military. He served in the Royal West Kent Regiment in England and then as part of the Medical Staff Corps stationed in South Africa. Whilst in the Balkans covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for The Four Just Men, published in 1905. Over the rest of his life, Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.

Degrees of Separation Bohumil Kubišta and the European Avant-Garde
In Beyond the Avant Garde, scholars from Czechia, Canada, Germany, and Hungary take a new approach to exploring the work of one of Central Europes most interesting modernist painters -- Bohumil Kubišta. While many art historians have consigned Kubištas work into an idealized Czech canon, Kubišta did not identify with a nation state clearly defined by ethnicity, language, and territorial reach. Although born and raised in the Czech lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he traveled widely, maintained important international contacts, and served as a successful artillery officer in Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. Taking a transnational approach that incorporates thorough topographical research, the authors of Beyond the Avant-Garde: Bohumil Kubišta and European Modern Art attempt to redraw the current map of European modernism by exploring the artists subversive approach to the stylistic currents of his time. The book reveals the complex artistic, cultural, and historical relationships within early twentieth-century Europe, as Kubišta and other Central Europan artists tried to balance their admiration for the dominant artistic trends coming out of Paris with their desire to find alternative forms expression, arising from local artistic and intellectual sources. It traces Kubišta's steps through the boulevards and cafes of Paris and other cities, such as Florence and Pula, while also using cartographic techniques to record the progress of his artwork between various artistic points on Europes artistic map. In addition to the twenty scholarly chapters, the book features a wealth of documentation, including: high quality images of the artists work; an exhaustive 160-page timeline with notes from and about the artist, as well as documentary support; a comprehensive inventory of 363 Kubišta works; an exhibition list from 1907 to 2019.

Pán Atlasu
Vojenský lékař George ani jeho přítel dělostřelec Harry už neslouží v britské královské armádě. První odešel a léčí pacienty v malé londýnské ordinaci. Druhý obdržel za odvahu Viktoriin kříž, ale když přemluvil dceru jednoho generála, aby s ním utekla, zase mu ho odebrali a pod jinou záminkou ho propustili z armády. Stal se z něj opilec prohrávající své poslední peníze v kartách.
Zdá se, že nabídka dvou tisíc liber, kterou jim slibuje marocký sultán, představuje snadný a rychlý způsob, jak se oba mohou znovu postavit na vlastní nohy. Sultán je potřebuje, aby veleli obsluze tří starších děl, která získal pro svůj boj proti vzbouřencům vedeným jeho bratrem Bou Hamrou.
Jenže celý jejich podnik se brzy nepříjemně zkomplikuje. Ačkoli jsou poddanými britské královny, stanou se nezamýšlenými účastníky válečného tažení, jsou zajati a mučeni. Nejnebezpečnější část jejich mise začne, když se stanou rukojmími místního vládce přezdívaného Pán Atlasu. Muž se stále zahaleným obličejem totiž ukrývá tajemství, které všechno změní.
