Posledný Žid, 2. vydanie
Životný príbeh Jonáša Toledana, syna židovského zlatníka, sa začína na sklonku 15. storočia, tesne pred vyhostením Židov zo Španielska. V krajine kráľovnej Izabely vládne krutá inkvizícia a strach. Mnohí Židia sa pod tlakom okolností rozhodnú stať katolíkmi, no sú aj takí, ktorí si chcú zachovať pôvodnú vieru a húfne odchádzajú za hranice. Kým sa k nim rodina Toledanovcov stihne pripojiť, rozvášnený dav podpáli ich dom a nešťastného zlatníka zabije. Pätnásťročný Jonáš otcovi pred smrťou sľúbi, že zostane verný svojim koreňom. Podarí sa mu ujsť, no všade ho prenasleduje tieň inkvizície. Jonáš putuje po Španielsku a hľadá nielen bezpečné útočisko, ale aj odpovede na dôležité otázky srdca. Podarí sa mu vytrvať a pretaviť neosobnú náboženskú tradíciu do živej viery? Nájde napokon zaslúžený pokoj a lásku? Historický román Noaha Gordona je krásnym svedectvom o tom, že viera v Boha má zmysel iba vtedy, ak ju sprevádza aj láska a úcta k človeku.
Z anglického originálu The Last Jew (Little, Brown and Company, London 2000) preložila Alena Redlingerová.

Lacná kniha National Geographic Infographics (-50%)
The best infographics from the National Geographic archives
Back in the days when the information age was a distant dream and the world a more mysterious place, National Geographic began its mission to reveal the wonders of history, popular science, and culture to eager audiences around the globe. Since that 1888 launch, the world has changed; empires have risen and crumbled and a galaxy of information is today only the click of a mouse away. But National Geographic endures; its calm, authoritative voice is respected as ever amid the surfeit of data in our daily lives.
In this new anthology, TASCHEN and National Geographic gather the magazine’s best infographics of the past 128 years. Through seven sections–History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of Plants, Science and Technology, and Space–we encounter the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the mysterious origins of the Easter Island statues, Cleopatra’s Alexandria and a history of Hawaiian surfboarding, all distilled in expert, accessible graphic form. We discover how our genetic patterns have been pieced together over the years or how hip-hop emerged as a cultural heavyweight; we get to grips with global warming, and explore our ever-expanding study of an ever-expanding universe.

Lacná kniha Secrets Of The Widows Son (-70%)
SECRETS OF THE WIDOW'S SON is itself an unprecedented book concept. Relying on extensive investigative reporting and intellectual sleuthing, it is an explorer's field guide to understanding the main themes, ideas, symbols and historical issues which author Dan Brown will most likely utilise in THE SOLOMON KEY - months before this much-awaited sequel to THE DA VINCI CODE is even published.
SECRETS OF THE CODE told the story of how the riddle embedded in The Da Vinci Code's dust-cover pointed to Dan Brown's next book: selected letters appearing on the book jacket's flaps, slightly bolder than others, spelled out the mystically alluring question, 'Is There No Help for the Widow's Son?' Research led David Shugarts and his team to understand the role of the 'Widow's Son' in the history of Freemasonry, biblical apocrypha, Mormonism, and various secret societies and occult belief systems. Dan Brown has since confirmed that his next book is indeed about the Masons, and that protagonist Robert Langdon, of DA VINCI CODE and ANGELS AND DEMONS fame, would be back to lead us on a symbolic treasure hunt through the art, architecture and secret codes of the American capital, Washington DC.
Let's be clear: this book is not designed to be a plot spoiler for THE SOLOMON KEY. It is not trying to guess who will be murdered, or which fictional mysteries, cover-ups, and conspiracies will be invented to drive the plot of this story. SECRETS OF THE WIDOW'S SON is about the ideas and issues that will form the background and context for THE SOLOMON KEY.

None Shall Sleep
In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship, gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage sociopath Simon Gutmunsson.
Despite Travis's objections, Emma becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives, he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has his sights set on Emma.
Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside us.

Do Arab girls grow up wanting to be Cinderella? Or does their Cinderella story have a twist? Emma Cole didn’t know. She was an innocent, 22 year-old American and this was her first time in Dubai. The exotic land entranced her. The men, or more precisely, one man, took her breath away. She saw him on the day she arrived, and then her dreams and her coffee shop. Nadeem was gorgeous and mysterious with eyes that devoured her. His allure was hypnotic. And pinned between his body and the wall, she could do nothing to resist him. “You will come with me tomorrow,” he demanded. “No, I will not,” she replied, even as she planned what she would wear. Italian sports cars, palaces, teasing, domination, being tied up, this was Nadeem’s world. Who was he? And what would this powerful man do to her? Do Arab girls want to be Cinderella? Emma didn’t know about them, but she did. What she got, though, was Cinderella with a twist. And it was that erotic twist that would change her life forever.

Árulás. És egy döntés, amelyen egy nemzet sorsa múlik. RosalindPorter sosem akart megfelelni a társadalmi elvárásoknak.

Charlie Szydlo különleges ügynök arra kéri Rosalindot, hogy kémkedjen egykori szerelme után, akiről az FBI azt gyanítja, hogy nukleáris titkokat ad át a szovjeteknek. Rosalind mindenkinél jobban tudja, milyen pusztító erővel bírnak ezek a titkok. De vajon képes elárulni a férfit, akit egykor szeretett, és talán még most is szeret?

In Thoughts You Are Perfect
In thoughts you are perfect
in thoughts you do not quail
bicycle minus wheel
in spirit never fails
In life things are harder
you could not be bound
when the ideal came circling
and took yoursecond round
And now you sift what is
and what’s only dreamed
you wish that wheel were yours
but it was not so deemed
Do not grieve without it
why rage at the fates?
The one that remained
is sound and in place
Why value it little
for the perfect you burn
try to lend it more trust

Lacná kniha Francis Bacon (-70%)
Francis Bacon is given a piercing re-examination through critical commentary, brilliant reproductions, and private photographs in this beautifully produced flexi edition. The existential anxiety of modern man, the inescapability of death, and the catastrophe of loneliness are some of the themes that we revisited time and again in Francis Bacon's work. In this comprehensive study of one of the twentieth century's most passionately committed artists, Wieland Schmied offers a thoughtful overview of Bacon's life, analyses his paintings, and examines the creative processes they embody. He explores in depth Bacon's subtle use of space, the development of his imagery, idiosyncratic painting technique, and place in the pantheon of twentieth-century artists. The author was a close friend and confidante of the artist. This book includes many private photographs of Bacon in his studio.

Super Slováci / Super Slovaks
50 krátkych príbehov o osobnostiach, ktoré formovali Slovensko od čias Svätopluka až po súčasnú prezidentku Zuzanu Čaputovú. Kniha je dvojjazyčná (slovenčina a angličtina) a pestro ilustrovaná. Inšpiruje, vzdeláva a pripomína, na čo môžeme byť všetci právom hrdí.
SK: Skutočnú veľkosť krajiny nezmeriate v kilometroch, nevyvážite ju zlatom a ani ju nesčítate počtom mrakodrapov. O tom, či je krajina skutočne veľká, vypovedajú ľudia. Takí, ktorí si idú za svojím snom a prekonávajú predsudky. No a práve o nich sa dočítate v bilingválnej knihe Super Slováci / Super Slovaks. Rozpovie vám príbehy o 50-tich Slovákoch, ktorí formovali dejiny Slovenska. Niektorí z nich dokonca zmenili svet. Nájdete si medzi nimi svojho super Slováka alebo Slovenku aj vy?
ENG: The size of a country cannot be measured in miles alone. Neither can it be equated to the number of skyscrapers or calculated in gold. It is the people who matter. The kind of people who pursue their dreams, overcome obstacles and shatter prejudices. The bilingual book Super Slovaks / Super Slováci is about them. It tells the stories of 50 Slovaks who have changed Slovakia and by doing so shaped the world. Will you find your super Slovak among them?
O projekte:SK: História Slovenska je posiata príbehmi inšpiratívnych Super Slovákov. Ten najstarší siaha tisíc rokov do minulosti, do čias Veľkej Moravy, prvého slovanského štátu na svete, a do obdobia vlády múdreho kráľa Svätopluka. V knihe nájdete aj Slovákov, ktorí žijú v súčasnosti. Jednou takou hrdinkou je aj Zuzana Čaputová, ochrankyňa životného prostredia, z ktorej sa stala prvá prezidentka v dejinách Slovenska. Vďaka knihe Super Slováci spoznáte aj tvorivých Slovákov, vedcov a vedkyne, športovcov, herečky, hudobníkov, architektov alebo podnikateľov. Každý pozná legendu o Jánošíkovi, ale viete, ktorý Super Slovák zmenil chod druhej svetovej vojny? Alebo ktorý Super Slovák postavil prvý mrakodrap v Ázii? Viete, že jedna zo Super Sloveniek, o ktorých je v knihe reč, zmenila svet tým, že objavila kométu? A to vonkoncom nebola jediná Super Slovenka, ktorú zaujal vesmír.
Naše deti sa môžu stať kýmkoľvek budú chcieť. Pomôžu im v tom inšpiratívne vzory, ľudia z mäsa a kostí. Hrdinovia, o ktorých sa píše v tejto knihe si nevybrali dobu ani podmienky, do ktorých sa narodili. Niektorí sa museli popasovať s vojnou, iní zas s dravou svetovou konkurenciou. Každý z nich však s odvahou prekonával prekážky, ktoré im prišli do cesty. Práve preto sme napísali túto knihu. Chceme deťom ukázať, že po životné vzory nemusia chodiť ďaleko. A vám dospelým zas pripomenúť, že aj keď prežívame ťažšie chvíle, stále máme byť na čo hrdí.
About the project:ENG: The history of Slovakia is filled with inspiring stories of Super Slovaks. The oldest dates back to the era of Great Moravia and to the reign of the wise king Svätopluk. The book also brings stories of Slovaks living today. One of the heroes of modern Slovakia is Zuzana Čaputová, an environmental activist who became the first female president in the history of the country. This is your chance to get to known Slovak artists, scientists, actors, athletes, architects and entrepreneurs. Everyone knows Janosik, but do you know which Slovak changed the course of World War II? Which Super Slovak built the first skyscraper in Asia? Did you know what Slovak astronomer discovered a comet?

Super Slovaks / Super Slováci shows our children that they can become whatever they chose to be. These inspiring role models and real people, will help them to set their dreams free.

Hitlerove roky 1940-1945
Na začiatku roku 1940 Nemecko zažívalo vrchol svojej moci, no už v máji 1945 bol Hitler mŕtvy a Nemecko utrpelo katastrofálnu porážku. Hitlerovi sa jeho sen vytvoriť z Nemecka veľmoc nenaplnil, pričom svoj národ nechal napospas nekonečnej hanbe za holokaust, ktorého sa dopustil. V druhom zväzku monografie Hitlerove roky: Pád 1940 – 1945 profesor Frank McDonough mapuje dramatickú zmenu osudu Tretej ríše a spochybňuje dlho zastávaný výklad holokaustu a konečnej porážky Nemecka. Napriek Hitlerovým obrovským ambíciám a úspešným počiatočným fázam postupu Tretej ríše do Európy McDonough tvrdí, že Nemecko bolo naďalej len mocnosťou strednej kategórie a v skutočnosti nikdy nemalo šancu proti kombinovaným silám Spojencov.
Profesor Frank McDonough vo svojom monumentálnom dvojzväzkovom životopise Adolfa Hitlera, Hitlerove roky, pokrýva obdobie rokov 1933 až 1945. Začína dramatickými intrigami, ktoré vyniesli Hitlera k moci, a končí sa katastrofálnou porážkou Nemecka v roku 1945. Druhý zväzok, Pád, začína horúčkovitými prípravami na útok na západnú Európu v roku 1940, pokračuje skúmaním kľúčových bitiek druhej svetovej vojny, holokaustu a končí bezprostredným obdobím po jeho smrti a ničivej bitke o Berlín.
Frank McDonough je britský historik Tretej ríše a medzinárodných dejín. Narodil sa 17. apríla 1957 v Liverpoole. Študoval moderné dejiny na Balliol College v Oxforde v čase, keď tam študoval aj súčasný britský premiér Boris Johnson a navzájom sa poznajú. Neskôr získal doktorát z histórie na Lancaster University a pôsobil ako profesor medzinárodných dejín na katedre humanitných a sociálnych vied na Liverpool John Moores University až do svojho odchodu do dôchodku v roku 2021. Kľúčovou oblasťou McDonoughovho výskumu sú medzinárodné dejiny, najmä britsko-nemecké vzťahy v 20. storočí. Vydal niekoľko významných kníh, v ktorých sa venoval počiatkom prvej aj druhej svetovej vojny, Tretej ríši, holokaustu a gestapu. Výsledkom McDonoughovho výskumu britsko-nemeckých vzťahov je niekoľko publikácií na tému dejín Tretej ríše, predovšetkým Hitler and Nazi Germany (1999), Oposition and Resistance in Nazi Germany (2001), Hitler and the Rise of the Nazi Party (2003). McDonough je autorom životopisu nemeckej hrdinky odporu voči Hitlerovi, Sophie Schollovej, Sophie Scholl: The Woman Who Defied Hitler (2009). Jeho posledným dielom je monumentálny dvojzväzkový životopis Adolfa Hitlera Hitlerove roky, v ktorom veľmi podrobne a v chronologickom slede mapuje Hitlerovu cestu k moci, jeho vzostup a katastrofálny pád.
