Into the Water
Into the Water is the incredible new standalone thriller from Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train. Published in over forty languages and now a No. 1 box office hit film starring Emily Blunt, The Girl on the Train is a global phenomenon.
With the same propulsion that captivated millions of readers worldwide in The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting, layered story set in a small riverside town. Once again Hawkins demonstrates her powerful understanding of human instincts and the damage they can inflict.
Into the Water is an addictive novel of psychological suspense about the slipperiness of the truth, and a family drowning in secrets.

The best of Czech Press Photo 20 Years
The Best of Czech Press Photo – obrazy dvou desetiletí je název zcela výjimečné publikace, která vyšla k otevření výstavy jubilejního 20.ročníku Czech Press Photo 2014. Na 496 stranách předkládá citově působivou obrazovou historii posledních dvaceti let, ale i pohled na podobu fotografie uplynulé doby. Jako v napínavém filmu zde defilují všechny „Fotografie roku“, a tak divák-čtenář znovu prožívá hlavní události a jevy jednotlivých let - válečné konflikty a přírodní katastrofy v dopadu na konkrétní osudy lidí, boj o dítě v dnešních rodinách, snahu jednotlivce postavit se rozpínavosti průmyslových koncernů, korupční aféry, které se šíří společností jako epidemie, ale i úsilí člověka zvítězit sám nad sebou. Je tu i přehled často překvapivých fotografií, kterým daly svou cenu děti, a také ty, jež v anketách oslovily na rozdíl od mezinárodních odborných porotců největší počet návštěvníků a získaly tak „Ceny diváků“. To, co je však vůbec nejpůsobivější, jsou přehledně uspořádané kapitoly věnované jednotlivým soutěžním kategoriím. V nich je možné na výběru těch nejlepších snímků z nejlepších postupně, rok za rokem sledovat, jak jsme v posledních dvou desetiletích žili, jak jsme se menili, čím vším jsme procházeli a co se dělo ve světě i bezprostředně kolem nás – v každodenním životě, ve sportu, ve společnosti, v politice, v přírodě i v nás samých … Úvodní text Daniely Mrázkové se zabývá nejen pohledem na současnost obrazového novinářství, ale je i vhledem do jeho budoucnosti. A totéž lze říci o komentářích členů mezinárodních porot Czech Press Photo.

The Scarlet Letter (Oxford World´s Classics)
Thou and thine, Hester Prynne, belong to me. With these chilling words a husband claims his wife after a two-year absence. But the child she clutches is not his, and Hester wears a scarlet "A" upon her breast, the sign of adultery visible to all. Under an assumed name, her husband begins his vindictive search for her lover, determined to expose what Hester is equally determined to protect. Defiant and proud, Hester witnesses the degradation of two very different men, as moral codes and legal imperatives painfully collide. Set in the Puritan community of seventeenth-century Boston, The Scarlet Letter also sheds light on the nineteenth century in which it was written, as Hawthorne explores his ambivalent relations with his Puritan forebears. The text of this edition is taken from the Centenary Edition of Hawthorne's works, the most authoritative critical edition. It includes a new, wide-ranging introduction that sheds light on the novel's autobiographical, historical, and literary contexts, a comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography, and thorough notes that provide essential information on Puritan and nineteenth-century life. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Lacná kniha Hrej vabank - The Game 4 (-70%)
Ona ztratila po jeho smrti část své duše.
On ztratil svého nejlepšího přítele, který mu stál po boku v dobrém i zlém.
Ale právě tahle tragédie by je mohla svést dohromady.
Kyle Daniels by nejraději ze své mysli vymazal dva dny svého života: Noc, kdy nebyl doma a jeho přítel zemřel, a den jeho pohřbu, kterého se nezúčastnil.
Teď odjíždí z Univerzity v Berkeley na prázdniny do svého rodného města. Verity Point v Oregonu už bez Cama není to, co býval. Je to jako návrat do prázdnoty. Jedinou útěchou a zároveň jediným pojítkem s jeho přítelem je Camova mladší sestra Roxanne.
Roxy Hughesová už ale není tou stejnou dívkou, jakou si Kyle pamatoval, než odjel studovat do Kalifornie. Zničená smrtí svého staršího bratra se dostala až na okraj propasti. Únik hledá v alkoholu a sexu – hlubina zapomnění je pro ni jediný lék, který ji dokáže zbavit hrůzy té osudné noci. Je totiž jediná, kdo viděl Cama umírat.
Kyle svému příteli slíbil, že pokud se mu něco přihodí, Roxy ochrání. Ale stačil jediný polibek, který vše změnil. Stala se pro něj něco víc než jen sestra jeho nejlepšího kamaráda. Je pro něj vším, po čem touží. Ale pokud nenajde způsob, jak ji vytáhnout z temných hlubin, do kterých se propadla, může ji potkat stejný osud jako jejího bratra...

OWC Four Comedies : The Braggart Soldier, The Brothers Menaechmus, The Haunted House, The Pot of Gold
Plautus was the single greatest influence on Western comedy. Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and Moliere's The Miser are two subsequent classics directly based on Plautine originals. Plautus himself borrowed from the Greeks, but his jokes, rapid dialogue, bawdy humour, and irreverent characterizations are the original work of an undisputed genius. The comedies printed here show him at his best, and professor Segal's translations keep their fast, rollicking pace intact, making these the most readable and actable versions available. His introduction considers Plautus' place in ancient comedy, examines his continuing influence, and celebrates his power to entertain.

The Short End of the Sonnenallee
Thomas Brussig's classic German satire, translated into English for the first time and introduced by Jonathan Franzen, is a comedic, moving account of life in East Berlin before the Fall of the Berlin WallThomas Brussig's slim novel, The Short End of the Sonnenallee, is a satire set, literally, on the Sonnenallee, the famed "boulevard of the sun" in East Berlin.Within this boulevard lives Michael, an adolescent who faces daily ridicule whenever he steps out of his apartment building and comes into view of the observation platform on the West side. "Look, a real Zonie. Can we take your picture?" Hopelessly in love with the most beautiful girl on the street, Michael is batted away in favour of the Western boys who are free to cross the border.
What chance does Michael have, and how much trouble will he get into by pursuing her?Laugh-out-loud funny and unabashedly silly, Brussig's novel follows the bizarre, grotesque quotidian details of life in the German Democratic Republic. As this new translation shows, the ideas at its heart - freedom, democracy and life's fundamental hilarity - hold great relevance for today.

Doctor Who: Deep Time
'I do hope you're all ready to be terrified!'
The Phaeron disappeared from the universe over a million years ago. They travelled among the stars using roads made from time and space, but left only relics behind. But what actually happened to the Phaeron? Some believe they were they eradicated by a superior force... Others claim they destroyed themselves.
Or were they in fact the victims of an even more hideous fate?
In the far future, humans discover the location of the last Phaeron road - and the Doctor and Clara join the mission to see where the road leads. Each member of the research team knows exactly what they're looking for - but only the Doctor knows exactly what they'll find.
Because only the Doctor knows the true secret of the Phaeron: a monstrous secret so terrible and powerful that it must be buried in the deepest grave imaginable...

Svojskú krásu chodobných oravských dreveníc, svet miznúci do nenávratna, drsný tragikomický, zemitý kus našej vidieckej histórie zachytávajú Sýkorove čiernobiele fotografie až naturalisticky verne, s originalitou, ktorú ťažko vyjadriť slovami.
