The Murder at the Vicarage
A quiet English village
A shocking murder
An unlikely detective
Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe. So when he’s found dead in the vicarage study, there’s no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead. In fact, Jane Marple can think of at least seven. As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish, everyone becomes an amateur detective. The police dismiss her as a prying busybody, but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth...
Never underestimate Miss Marple.
The Man from the Future
The smartphones in our pockets and computers like brains. The vagaries of game theory and evolutionary biology. Self-replicating moon bases and nuclear weapons. All bear the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann.
Born in Budapest at the turn of the century, von Neumann is one of the most influential scientists to have ever lived. His colleagues believed he had the fastest brain on the planet - bar none. He was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and helped formulate the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory. He created the first ever programmable digital computer. He prophesied the potential of nanotechnology and, from his deathbed, expounded on the limits of brains and computers - and how they might be overcome.
Taking us on an astonishing journey, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and unique historical circumstance allowed a single man to sweep through so many different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went.
Insightful and illuminating, The Man from the Future is a thrilling intellectual biography of the visionary thinker who shaped our century.
The Lord of the Rings
Begin your journey into Middle-earth.
A New Legend Begins on Prime Video, in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
This one-volume, paperback edition includes The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, together with the Appendices in full.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
The Last Secret of the Secret Annex
The extraordinary, never-before-told story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex.
Bep was just twenty-three when the Franks went into hiding and she risked her life to protect them, plunging into Amsterdam's black market under the noses of German soldiers and Dutch spies to source food and medicine for the Annex. In those cramped quarters, Bep and Anne's friendship blossomed. As this book reveals, while she was sharing meals with Anne Frank, Bep's sister Nelly whose name was scrubbed from Anne's published diary was collaborating with the Nazis.
Written by Bep's own son, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex interweaves her story with Anne Frank's and Nelly's to show us the Secret Annex as we've never seen it before.
We follow Bep after the war as she struggles to build a life in the shadow of her past, unable to get over losing Anne nor put to rest the horrifying suspicion that she had been betrayed by her own flesh and blood.
Captivating and unsettlingly suspenseful, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex is a portrait of ordinary families caught between the victims and persecutors, in which collaborators and resisters often lived under the same roof. With a moving mother-son relationship at its heart, it explores how historical trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, and how sometimes keeping a secret hurts far more than revealing a shameful truth.

Sia - Music: Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture CD
KDO: Sia Kate Isobelle Furler je v hudebním světě známá především jako velmi úspěšná zpěvačka a skladatelka. Narodila se v Austrálii a začínala jako členka acid jazzové kapely Crisp. V roce 1997, kdy se skupina rozpadla, Sia natočila svůj sólový debut OnlySee a přestěhovala se do Londýna, kde našla nové spřízněné duše. Se supinou Zero 7 vydala několik úspěšných desek a dále zkoušela štěstí jako sólistka. Po několika nevydařených pokusech se znovu přestěhovala, tentokrát do New Yorku a uspěla jako skladatelka. Napsala několik světových hitů pro Davida Guettu, Flo Ridu nebo Rihannu a v letech 2014 a 2016 se deskami 1000 Forms Of Fear a This Is Acting prosadila i jako zpěvačka.
CO: Nová deska zpěvačky zároveň funguje jako hudební doprovod k filmu Music. Základní scénář snímku sepsala sama protagonistka už v roce 2007, dotvořit ho do finální podoby jí nyní pomohl spisovatel a ilustrátor Dallas Clayton, jenž se proslavil sérií dětských příběhů Awesome Book. Hlavní role ve filmu ztvárnili Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. a Maddie Ziegler. Hudební produkce jednotlivých skladeb se ujali třeba Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff nebo Jesse Shatkin, v singlovce Hey Boy hostuje hvězda afrického rapu Burna Boy (spolupracoval například s Chrisem Martinem z Coldplay, Lily Allen, Edem Sheeranem a Stormzym, Fall Out Boy, Pop Smokem, Beyoncé, Samem Smithem apod.). Deska je k dispozici na CD či LP.

Lord of the Flies
From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcoversfeaturing cover art by Jessica Hische It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent filmMoonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series launches with six perennial favorites to give as elegant gifts, or to showcase on your own shelves. G is for Golding. At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse,Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable tale about the end of innocence, the darkness of mans heart.
Případ ztracené závěti / The Case of the Missing Will
V Případu ztracené závěti se na známého detektiva Hercula Poirota obrací mladá žena, které její nebožtík strýc připravil opravdu důmyslný hlavolam, aby se tak ujistil, že si zaslouží stát se jeho dědičkou. Poirot osobně napomůže i vyřešení tajuplného případu vraždy v povídce Dobrodružství s italským šlechticem. Povídky Rádžův smaragd a Mužnost Edwarda Robinsona patří k autorčiným oblíbeným humorným textům, které nijak neidealizují vztahy mezi muži a ženami. Labutí píseň čtenáře pro změnu zavede do podivuhodného světa opery a povídka Poslední seance je výjimečná tím, že se vážně zabývá oblíbeným tématem Agathy Christie: vyvoláváním duchů a nadpřirozenými jevy.

The Marvel Age of Comics 1961-1978
It was an age of mighty heroes, misunderstood monsters, and complex villains. With the publication of Fantastic Four No. 1 in November 1961, comics giant Marvel inaugurated a transformative era in pop culture. Through the next two decades, the iconic Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men leapt, darted, and towered through its pages. Captain America was resurrected from his 1940s deep-freeze and the Avengers became the World's Greatest Super Heroes. Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and dozens more were added to the pantheon, each with their own rogues' gallery of malevolent counterparts. Nearly 60 years later, these thrilling characters from the 1960s and '70s are more popular than ever, fighting the good fight in comics, toy aisles, and blockbuster movies around the world.
In The Marvel Age of Comics 1961-1978, legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas takes you to the heart of this seminal segment in comic history-an age of triumphant character and narrative innovation that reinvented the super hero genre. With more than 500 images and insider insights, the book traces the birth of champions who were both epic in their powers and grounded in a world that readers recognized as close to their own; relatable heroes with the same problems, struggles, and shortcomings as everyone else. By the '70s, we see how the House of Ideas also elevated horror, sword and sorcery, and martial arts in its stable of titanic demigods, introducing iconic characters like Man-Thing, Conan, and Shang-Chi and proving that their brand of storytelling could succeed and flourish outside of the capes and tights.
Behind it all, we get to know the extraordinary Marvel architects whose names are almost as familiar as the mortals (and immortals!) they brought to life-Stan "The Man" Lee, Jack "King" Kirby, and Steve Ditko, along with a roster of greats like John Romita, John Buscema, Marie Severin, Jim Steranko, and countless others. The result is a behind-the-scenes treasure trove and a jewel for any comic fan's library, brimming with the innovation and energy of an invincible era for Marvel and its heroes alike.

The Song of the Cell
The Song of the Cell is the vivid, thrilling and suspenseful story of the fundamental unit of life. It describes how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Both panoramic and intimate, it is Siddhartha Mukherjee's most spectacular book yet.
In the late 1600s, a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, look down their hand-made microscopes. What they see introduces a radical concept that alters both biology and medicine forever. It is the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves, are built from these compartments. Hooke christens them 'cells'.
The discovery of cells announced the birth of a new kind of medicine. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer's, AIDS, lung cancer - all could be re-conceived as the results of cells, or a cellular ecosystem, functioning abnormally. And all could be treated by therapeutic manipulations of cells.
This revolution in cell biology is still in progress: it represents one of the most significant advances in science and medicine.
Rich with stories of scientists, doctors, and the patients whose lives may be saved by their work, The Song of the Cell is the third book in this extraordinary writer's exploration of what it means to be human.
