The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen
Starting not with the United States, but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked to exclude as well as liberate.
Whether reinterpreting Japan's momentous 1889 constitution, or exploring the significance of the first constitution to enfranchise all adult women on Pitcairn Island in the Pacific in 1838, this is one of the most original global histories in decades.

Lacná kniha Do the Fcking Work (-70%)
A wake-up call for creatives who need that inspiring kick to finally create the thing they've been meaning to make, while celebrating the journey of trying, learning, and failing.
Over the last eight years, Jason Bacher and Brian Buirge of Good F*cking Design Advice (GFDA) have made a name for themselves in the international design community, inspiring creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs with their products, weekly e-mails, and most important, their unorthodox advice about work ethic and the creative process.
Do the F*cking Work is a collection of 100 beautifully packaged pieces that showcase their irreverent advice-inspiration that will help unstick even the most dedicated procrastinators. Covering everything from drinking your morning coffee to handling productive criticism, from embracing failure to rejecting the status quo, their insights upend conventional thinking and teach you to embrace and celebrate the journey of creation-the joy of trying, failing, learning, and sometimes failing again.
To make something good we have to make some mistakes. Bacher and Buirge teach you to embrace the unknown and to f*cking laugh at yourself during the process. There is a method to their madness-a surprising reassurance that is baked into their bluntness. We're all trying, messing up, and trying again. And there's joy to be found in that-something we often overlook in our rush to get everything done and get it right the first time.
With personal insights, actionable advice, stylish visuals, and lots of colorful language, Do the F*cking Work will leave you feeling renewed and inspired, and will make you see that the value of work is as much about the process as the outcome.

The Seventh Cross
A rediscovered German classic novel from 1942, The Seventh Cross is both a gripping escape story and a powerful novel of resistance.
'At once a suspenseful manhunt story and a knowing portrait of the perils of ordinary life in Hitler's Germany, The Seventh Cross is not only an important novel, but an important historical document. This new, unabridged translation is a genuine publishing event' JOSEPH KANON, author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin
'It was [Seghers] who taught my generation and anyone who had an ear to listen after that not-to-be-forgotten war to distinguish right from wrong. The Seventh Cross shaped me; it sharpened my vision' Gunter Grass
'A masterpiece. Written in the midst of terror, but with such clarity, such acuity; Seghers is a writer of rare insight' Rachel Seiffert, author of A Boy in Winter
Seven prisoners escape from Westhofen concentration camp. Seven crosses are erected in the grounds and the commandant vows to capture the fugitives within a week. Six men are caught quickly, but George Heisler slips through his pursuers' fingers and it becomes a matter of pride to track him down, at whatever cost.
Who can George trust? Who will betray him? The years of fear have changed those he knew best: his brother is now an SS officer; his lover turns him away. Hunted, injured and desperate, time is running out for George, and whoever is caught aiding his escape will pay with their life.
The Seventh Cross powerfully documents the insidious rise of a fascist regime - the seething paranoia, the sudden arrests, the silence and fear.

'If the world is increasingly senseless, all we can do is try to give it a style'

A Hobbit vagy: Oda-vissza
"Smaug kétségkívül mélyen aludni látszott, jóformán halottnak és sötétnek rémlett, egy-egy láthatatlan gőzpamatnál több a hortyogására sem utalt, amikor Bilbó ismét bekukucskált az ajtónyíláson. Már éppen lelépett volna a padlóra, amikor megpillantotta a Smaug petyhüdt bal szemhéja alól feléje lövellő vékony, átható fénysugarat. Csak színlelte az alvást! Az alagút bejáratát figyelte!..."
Amikor gondtalan, minden becsvágy nélküli életéből, meghitt kis zsáklaki hobbitüregéből Gandalf, a mágus és egy csapat törp elragadja, Zsákos Bilbó egy kaland kellős közepébe csöppen: "betörési szakértőként" kell közreműködnie a kincs visszaszerzésében, amitől Smaug, a Rettenetes, egy igen nagy és veszedelmes sárkány fosztotta meg hajdanában a Hegymély Királyát. Noha nem szívesen vállalkozik erre a kellemetlen feladatra, Bilbó maga is lépten-nyomon meglepődik tulajdon ügyességén és leleményességén!
J. R. R. Tolkien a gyermekeinek írta ezt a meseregényt, de amikor 1937-ben megjelent, azonnal óriási sikert aratott. Később megszületett monumentális folytatása is, és azóta "a világ két részre oszlik: azokra, akik már olvasták "A Hobbit"-ot és "A Gyűrűk Urá"-t és azokra, akik eztán fogják elolvasni őket." (Sunday Times)
2012-ben ünnepeljük A hobbit születésének 75. évfordulóját, amelyet a belőle készült, Peter Jackson rendezte filmsorozat első része tesz még emlékezetesebbé.
