An Unsuitable Match
The Favourite Heiress…Once engaged to the future Duke of Strathmore, the beautiful Lady Clarice Langham now finds herself in the humiliating position of celebrating his marriage – to another woman. But things begin to look up when handsome and charming rake David Radley makes it clear that, at least as far as he’s concerned, she’s still the catch of the season.
The Illegitimate Son…The eldest son of the Duke of Strathmore, David Radley has been raised alongside his father’s legitimate children. But while he is generally received as part of the family, not everyone thinks he should be, and especially not Clarice’s father, the Earl of Langham, who forbids her from having anything to do with him.
David’s been in love with Clarice for years, and it isn’t long before the attraction between them develops into something deeper. Yet he senses Clarice is hiding something and until she reveals her secret, she won’t be free to follow her heart. Despite everything, David will not give up on Clarice, not even when another seems set to claim her.

Raising Steam
To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork - a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements: earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it's soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear. Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work - as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital .
. . but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don't always need greasing.
However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse . . .
Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi' t'flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he's going to stop it all going off the rails...

Lacná kniha Gustáv Husák (-90%)
Sto rokov od narodenia osobnosti býva dobrým dôvodom na zamyslenie sa nad jej životom, osudom či výsledkami. Gustáv Husák osobnosťou nesporne bol. Ako o ňom napísal historik Ľubomír Lipták, Husákovým problémom bolo, že z niekoľkých možností, ktoré pred sebou mal, si nevybral cestu advokáta a demokratického politika, ale išiel cestou presadzovania komunizmu a totalitnej ideológie. Predkladaná publikacia GUSTÁV HUSÁK, moc politiky - politik moci je výsledkom tímovej práce viacerých, mladých i skôr narodených, historikov. Hľadá odpovede na viaceré otázky: •Bol Husák suverénnym vodcom komunistickj strany či len bábkou v sovietskych rukách? •Zmiernil dosahy augustovej invázie 68 v čase normalizácie? •Čo prežíval od mladosti? Ako sa zapísal do dejín Slovenského národného povstania? •Čo prežíval vo väzení v divokých 50. rokoch? •Viedlo nakoniec jeho kroky niečo iné než fascinácia mocou?V súčasnej spoločenskej reflexii významných osobností našich moderných dejín minulého storočia sa niektorí jednotlivci ocitli v „sieni slávy“, iní „na lavici obžalovaných“. Z pološera našej komunistickej minulosti však zväčša vystupujú aj „postavičky" šedého priemeru, ktorých bolo v komunistickej totalite väčšina. Gustávovi Husákovi sa „ušla“ tá lavica obžalovaných, v mnohom oprávnene a nespochybniteľne. Jeho aktuálna storočnica je vhodnou príležitosťou nielen pre historikov, ale aj pre záujemcov o históriu hlbšie sa zamyslieť nad politikom a dobou, ktorej bol spolutvorcom a symbolom.

Fear: An Alternative History of the World
It's been said that, after 9/11, the 2008 financial crash and the Covid-19 pandemic, we're a more fearful society than ever before. Yet fear, and the panic it produces, have long been driving forces - perhaps the driving force - of world history: fear of God, of famine, war, disease, poverty, and other people. In Fear: An Alternative History of the World, Robert Peckham considers the impact of fear in history, as both a coercive tool of power and as a catalyst for social change.
Beginning with the Black Death in the fourteenth century, Peckham traces a shadow history of fear. He takes us through the French Revolution and the social movements of the nineteenth century to modern market crashes, Cold War paranoia and the AIDS pandemic, into a digital culture increasingly marked by uniquely twenty-first-century fears.
What did fear mean to us in the past, and how can a better understanding of it equip us to face the future? As Peckham demonstrates, fear can challenge as well as cement authority. Some crises have destroyed societies; others have been the making of them. Through the stories of the people and the moments that changed history, Fear: An Alternative History of the World reveals how fear and panic made us who we are.
The Truth About Lisa Jewell
Have you ever thought about what it takes to become a bestselling writer?
If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after the finish; it's an in-depth analysis of how that novel fits into a bestselling author like Lisa Jewell's career and her previous work, and what her style shares with authors from James Joyce to Martin Amis.
But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her game. Like Lisa Jewell's much-loved novels, it's also the story of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse - evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It's the story of two very different writers getting to know each other gradually through words; two complete strangers becoming something more like friends.
A must-have for fans of Lisa Jewell, for aspiring authors who are interested in the path to success - and a testament to the way books can bring us together. . .
The High Notes
A moving, compelling and uplifting story of following your dreams against the odds from the world’s favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel.
Iris Cooper grew up dirt-poor in Texas. Her mother left when she was a baby, leaving her to be raised by her rodeo cowboy dad, who was too interested in beer, whisky and women to be a good father to her or to provide what she needed. On top of her innocent beauty, Iris had a rare gift: she had the voice of an angel. After singing in downtrodden bars across the state from the age of twelve, and then many years on the road with different bands suffering at the hands of greedy managers with no scruples, she finally gets a lucky break when she meets Boy, another talented singer, in Jackson Hole. Together they make their way to New York where Iris’s talent is recognized and nurtured by one of the top agents in the business.
A star is born and Iris finally gets the success she deserves. But then tragedy strikes, and through it Iris discovers another kind of love.
Flip the Script
Hip hop has long been a vehicle for protest in the United States, used by its primarily African American creators to address issues of prejudice, repression, and exclusion. But the music is now a worldwide phenomenon, and outside the United States it has been taken up by those facing similar struggles. Flip the Script offers a close look at the role of hip hop in Europe, where it has become a politically powerful and commercially successful form of expression for the children and grandchildren of immigrants from former colonies.
Through analysis of recorded music and other media, as well as interviews and fieldwork with hip hop communities, J. Griffith Rollefson shows how this music created by black Americans is deployed by Senegalese Parisians, Turkish Berliners, and South Asian Londoners to both differentiate themselves from and relate themselves to the dominant culture. By listening closely to the ways these postcolonial citizens in Europe express their solidarity with African Americans through music, Rollefson shows, we can literally hear the hybrid realities of a global double consciousness.

Misrule
Did they break the curse or begin one? Sleeping Beauty's dark sorceress reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice.

Not even the one person who holds her heart. Princess Aurora saw through Alyce's thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But that love came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce's vast power cannot seem to break, and their dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.
Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But could Aurora ever love the villain Alyce has become? Or is true love only for fairy tales?
