Irčan - audiokniha
Frank Sheeran, obr s kouzlem osobnosti a výborný vypravěč se smyslem pro humor, líčí svou životní dráhu chlapce z chudé irské rodiny a posléze chladnokrevného zabijáka ve službách mafie. V sedmdesátých letech byl Sheeran alias Irčan neoficiálním bodyguardem odborářského bosse Jimmyho Hoffy, jehož následné zmizení připisovaly agenti FBI propojení s mafií. Sheeranovi se však nikdy nic prokázat nepodařilo. Pak se však jeho advokátem v soudním řízení kvůli jinému přečinu stal autor knihy Charles Brandt. Ten studoval soudní spisy, vedl rozhovory s agenty, podnikl vlastní zkoumání a hlavně - získal důvěru stárnoucího mafiána. V audioknize se prolínají faktické události, které hýbaly USA od druhé světové války až po osmdesátá léta - léta bratří Kennedyů, Nixona a aféry Watergate.

Redouté - Roses
The revered tradition of botanical illustration dates back to the Renaissance. It emerged from the desire to catalog nature in its unpredictable splendor, and the process demanded the most precise and talented of artists.
With a remarkable skill that captured the most intricate subjects in nature, Pierre-Joseph Redouté is widely considered the best painter and engraver of botanical illustration. Working from live plants rather than from the herbarium specimens gave his watercolors unusual subtlety and freshness. He was also an innovator in printing techniques, introducing "stipple-engraving" to France, always striving for greater exactitude in his art. Redouté fortuitously acquired some of the most influential patrons of the time, including Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine Bonaparte, thus ensuring that his work was well-funded and displayed.His impressive collection comprises over 2,000 paintings of plants rendered with great accuracy and strict adherence to nature. In this exquisite edition of Les Roses, Redouté turns his attention to the most romantic, desirable, and evocative flower. Originally published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824, it remains his most famous and celebrated work.

The Penguin Book of Spiritual Verse
An inspiring new selection of poems exploring faith and the divine, featuring poets from across the world, from antiquity to the present
Poets have always looked to the skies for inspiration, and have written as a way of getting closer to the power and beauty they sense in nature, in each other and in the cosmos. This anthology is a holistic and global survey of a lyric conversation about the divine, one which has been ongoing for millennia.
Beginning with the earliest attributable author in all of human literature, the twenty-third century BC Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna, and taking in a constellation of voices - from King David to Lao Tzu, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Malian Epic of Sundiata - this selection presents a number of canonical voices like Blake, Dickinson and Tagore, alongside lesser-anthologized diverse voices going up to the present day, that showcase the breathtaking multiplicity of ways humanity has responded to the divine across place and time.
These poets' voices commune between millenia, offering readers a chance to experience for themselves the vast and powerful interconnectedness of these incantations orbiting the most elemental of all subjects - our spirit.
Make Believe
The photographer and visual artist Erik Johansson creates surreal worlds through his own unique method. It often takes him months just to make one image, in a process where his photographs are combined so that an original place emerges. The result is often humorous, sometimes even scary, but always mind-blowing. Erik Johansson has become world-famous through his captivating and detailed images. This is his biggest book so far, presenting almost a hundred of his best images in large format. He also reveals the secrets of his methods and shares many of the original sketches that work both as a concept and as a road map to his art.
Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild examines the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man who walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later.
In April 1992, Chris McCandless set off alone into the Alaskan wild. He had given his savings to charity, abandoned his car and his possessions, and burnt the money in his wallet, determined to live a life of independence. Just four months later, Chris was found dead. An SOS note was taped to his makeshift home, an abandoned bus.
In piecing together the final travels of this extraordinary young man's life, Jon Krakauer writes about the heart of the wilderness, its terribly beauty and its relentless harshness. Into the Wild is a modern classic of travel writing, and a riveting exploration of what drives some of us to risk more than we can afford to lose.
From the author of Under the Banner of Heaven and Into Thin Air. A film adaptation of Into the Wild was directed by Sean Penn and starred Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart.

Srdce temnoty
Kultovní kniha ve 2 verzích: pro mírně pokročilé i pokročilé! Předtím, než vyšla novela Heart of Darkness (Srdce temnoty) v roce 1902 knižně, vycházela na pokračování v časopisu Blackwood’s Magazine. Příběh z větší části vypráví Angličan Charles Marlow, který byl kapitánem říčního parníku v Africe. I autor příběhu Joseph Conrad (3. 12. 1857 – 3. 8. 1924), anglický spisovatel polského původu a bývalý námořník, strávil pár let před vznikem novely nějakou dobu na parníku v africkém Kongu. V příběhu, který je bohatý nejen obsahově (setkáváme se zde s popisem reálného děje i s různými pro Conrada typickými symboly), ale i z jazykového hlediska svou širokou slovní zásobou a ne úplně typicky anglickým používáním mnoha přídavných jmen (není povzbuzující, že autor se takto anglicky naučil až v dospělosti?), narazíme na problém kolonialismu a problém vlivu prostředí (africké džungle) na (civilizovaného) člověka. Tyto problémy se navzájem prolínají. Editoři amerického nakladatelství Modern Library zařadili knihu mezi 100 nejlepších románů. Byla námětem pro slavný Coppolův film Apokalypsa (Apocalypse Now, 1979). V našem vydání máte možnost si přečíst a poslechnout originální verzi díla opatřenou jazykovými komentáři a literárními poznámkami. Ti z Vás, kteří se necítí v angličtině příliš pevní v kramflecích, si mohou nejdříve přečíst zjednodušenou verzi se zrcadlovým českým překladem.

It sits between the river Danube (people call the city also “A beauty at the Danube”) and the foothills of Carpathian Mountains. Striking proximity to Vienna (70 km) and the border to Austria, Hungary (you can see these countries from the hill castle with a naked eye) and Czech Republic make the visit even more attractive. In the course of history Bratislava has seen many kings, armies, artists and scholars coming and going. What stayed are the beautiful monuments.

Gilded Wolves
Paris, 1889. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets.
Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure hunter and wealthy hotelier Severin Montagnet-Alarie. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Severin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.
To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Severin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: an engineer with a debt to pay; a historian banished from his home; a dancer with a sinister past; and a brother in arms if not blood.
Together they will join Severin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the course of history - but only if they can stay alive.
From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes a novel set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change - one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires . . .
