Hlbokomorské rozprávky - 2.vydanie
Druhé vydanie obľúbených Hlbokomorských rozprávok spisovateľky Moniky Kompaníkovej a ilustrátorky Veroniky Klímovej pre deti od piatich rokov.
Ryba Biba má polámané zuby, je tučná a lenivá, no má dobré srdce a vie sa nadchnúť pre nové dobrodružstvá. Had Rado má pokazený lampáš, cíti sa byť stratený a opustený, ale keď treba vyriešiť nejaký problém, neváha. Keď tieto dva osamelé živočíchy náhodou na seba narazia a to doslova v hlbokomorskej temnote, vznikne medzi nimi hlboké priateľstvo. Spolu hľadajú nový domov aj morské sklo, spolu poriadajú podmorské veselice a odháňajú ponorky. A my s nimi môžeme spoznať aj ten skutočný hlbokomorský svet.
V knihe je množstvo plnofarebných ilustrácií Veroniky Klímovej, ktoré vytvaorila klasickou technikou linorytu aj Atlas hlbokomorských živočíchov, ktorý uľahčí orientáciu medzi svetielkujúcimi príšerami.
Prvé vydanie Hlbokomorských rozprávok vyšlo v roku 2013 vo vydavateľstve Artforum a neskôr v maďarskom preklade pod názvom Mélytengeri mesék. Kniha získala niekoľko cien, dostala sa medzi Najkrajšie knihy Slovenska a na Bienále ilustrácií Bratislava 2015 získala Veronika Cenu primátora Bratislavy. Ilustrácie videli deti na výstavách po celom svete, dokonca aj na Medzinárodnom veľtrhu detskej knihy v Bologni.
Príbehy ryby Biby a hada Rada môžete zažiť aj počas divadelných predstavení v Bábkovom divadle Žilina a na predstaveniach bábkového divadla Ewy Marie Wolskej z Theatre Academy vo Varšave. Kniha vyšla aj vo forme audiorozprávok, ktoré prerozprával Robert Roth a hudbu k nim vymyslel Vladislav Slnko Šarišský.
Monika Kompaníková (1979) napísala Hlbokomorské rozprávky pre svojich dvoch synov v čase, keď boli ešte malí chlapci. Pred tým, ako prišli na svet, študovala maľbu a grafiku na Vysokej škole výtvarných umení. Napísala štyri knihy pre dospelých zbierku poviedok Miesto pre samotu, novelu Biele miesta, romány Piata loď a Na sútoku. Podľa románu Piata loď vznikli aj dve divadelné predstavenia a celovečerný film režisérky Ivety Grófovej, ktorý získal ocenenie Krištáľový medveď na MMF Berlinale. Román dostal cenu Anasoft litera a bol preložený do trinástich jazykov.
Deťom venovala okrem Hlbokomorských rozprávok aj knižku Koniec sveta a čo je za ním, ktorú ilustrovala Veronika Klímová. Pre Slovenskú národnú galériu napísala knižku Kde je Ester N? a ako editorka a spoluautorka pripravila knihu Kvapky na kameni o českých a slovenských hrdinkách. Monika píše texty pesničiek, napríklad pre Korben Dallas, Billy Barman alebo Diego a napísala aj texty a knižné príbehy hudobného projektu Toddler Punk.
Veronika Klímová (1989) vyrástla v rodine paleontológa a entomologičky. Hlbokomorské rozprávky ilustrovala ešte ako študentka ilustrácie v ateliéri profesora Dušana Kállaya na Vysokej škole výtvarných umení a bola to jej prvá ilustrovaná knižka pre deti.
Odvtedy svojimi linorytmi, akvarelmi a kresbami ilustrovala už celú hŕbu kníh. Spolu s Monikou urobili knižku Koniec sveta a čo je za ním, spolu s Martou Hlušíkovou knihu Až raz budem kapitánom, Danielovi Pastirčákovi ilustrovala knižku Rozprávka o lietajúcej Alžbetke. Knižka, ktorú celú vymyslela aj napísala, vyšla pod názvom Adele a Rúfus na cestách po Slovensku. Veronika sa však nevenuje len knižkám, ale kreslí aj etikety na víno, potlače pre Mile či ilustrácie pre Egreš, o. z. Veronika má dve deti syna Daniela a dcéru Hanku.
Predstav si vodný svet pod morskou hladinou. Ako v hrnci plnom dobre posolenej planktónovej polievky tam plávajú ryby, chobotnice, medúzy, morské panny, kôrovce, ulitníky, obrovské cicavce, ponorky a jeden či dva batyskafy. A úplne dole, morské dno.
Na dne tej najhlbšej priekopy, v hĺbke viac ako desaťtisíc metrov, na severnom okraji Tichého oceánu, tam, kde sa už nedostane slnečný lúč, potápač, ponorka a dokonca ani japonské lovkyne perál tak tam už nie je vôbec nič.
I keď - nie je to celkom tak. Aj v tej najtemnejšej a najstudenšej temnote sa dá nájsť nejaký život. Na dne tej najhlbšej priekopy totiž žije jed

Paris
Paris is the City of Light, love, and savoir vivre. And this world-class capital is surely one of the planet's most photographed destinations, whether by tourists snapping a quick souvenir shot or professionals with high-end cameras. The brief preview we provide here shows how special this city really is. Paris has never been showcased as impressively, meaningfully, or dramatically as it is by the French photographer Serge Ramelli. His vision of the city-like all of his images-is unmistakably inspired by cinema. In addition to his second passion, filmmaking (which he does when he's not taking pictures), he is also fascinated by the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Ridley Scott. Ramelli's interpretation of the bustling metropolis of Paris is at once impressive and fabulous. Pulsing with life both day and night, the city appears nearly devoid of people-a heavily symbolic place with many facets to explore, shining with an inimitable light.

Lacná kniha Zločin v českých dějinách (-90%)
Deset příběhů o zločinu v historii českého státu, deset zastavení na křížové cestě od úsvitu českých dějin k novému mocenskému a společenskému uspořádání střední Evropy na konci 17. století. Ve své živým jazykem napsané a ke každému čtenáři přátelské knize připomíná autor mnohé osoby a události, jež se sice už dávno staly součástí českého národního povědomí, ovšem přiznejme si – povědomí často velmi nedokonalého a faktograficky chatrného. Možná i proto oceníme autorův střízlivý nadhled nad dávnými motivy, činy a pohnutkami, o nichž staré české přísloví říká: „Zlé znáti není zlé; ale zlé poznati a tak činiti zlé jest.“ Právem předpokládáme, že to platí i dnes.

Lacná kniha Olžin příběh (-90%)
Olga Junterová se narodila v létě roku 1900 ve vzdálené obchodní stanici obklopené nehostinnou stepí jižní Sibiře. Jako nejmladší z pěti dětí prožívala šťastné dětství, ale brzy se na ulicích ozvala vřava povstání a Olga, stále ještě školačka, byla vtažena do chaosu ruské revoluce, když pomáhala svým bratrům v zoufalém boji nejprve při ochraně města před bolševiky a pak proti brutálnímu regionálnímu veliteli bělogvardějců. Došlo ke kruté tragédii a kvůli ceně vypsané za její hlavu musela Olga uprchnout, aby si zachránila život. V devatenácti letech, sama a jen s několika rubíny zašitými ve spodničce, uprchla nejprve do Vladivostoku a pak do severní Číny. Už nikdy znovu nespatřila svou rodinu na Sibiři.

Lacná kniha Dva liangy rýžového vína (-90%)
Jü Chuův román je sondou do života obyčejného čínského člověka v období hospodářského experimentu Velkého skoku, následujícího hladomoru, chaotického období Kulturní revoluce a postupného otevírání Číny na konci 70. let 20. století. V dobách hladu je pro továrního dělníka Xu Sanguana prodej krve místní nemocnici často jediným způsobem, jak uživit rodinu. Uchyluje se k němu pokaždé, když se jeho rodina ocitne vinou politických a hospodářských katastrof na mizině. Situace se zhoršuje a Xu Sanguan stále častějším prodejem ohrožuje své zdraví. Kromě těchto problémů se dostává i do krize osobní... Krev je v románu nejen obchodovaným zbožím, ale také symbolem oběti, vazby mezi manželi a vazby mezi otcem a synem.

Posledná pieseň
Keď sa sedemnásťročnej Veronice Millerovej (Ronnie) rozviedli rodičia a otec sa odsťahoval do Wrightsville Beach v Severnej Karolíne, jej život sa obrátil naruby. Tri roky nato stále cíti odcudzenie a zlosť na rodičov, najmä na otca. Jej mama sa však odrazu rozhodne, že všetkým prospeje, ak Ronnie a jej mladší brat strávia leto u otca. Ronnin otec, bývalý koncertný klavirista, si pokojne nažíva v plážovom mestečku, pohrúžený do maľovania umeleckého diela, ktoré sa má stať skvostom miestneho kostola. Zlostná rebelka Ronnie odmieta všetky jeho pokusy o zmierenie a vyhráža sa útekom do New Yorku ešte pred koncom leta. Čoskoro však stretáva Willa, miestneho lámača dievčenských sŕdc, o ktorom by si nikdy nepomyslela, že ju môže priťahovať, no keď sa pomaly prestáva brániť svojim pocitom, otvára sa najväčšej radosti a zároveň bolesti, aké kedy zažila. Posledná pieseň je nezabudnuteľný príbeh o láske v jej nespočetných podobách – o prvej láske, láske medzi rodičmi a deťmi –, ktorý odhaľuje, ako najsilnejší ľudský cit dokáže zlomiť srdce a znova ho vyliečiť.

White Tiger
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

OWC Mystery of Edwin Drood
Where is my nephew?, asked Mr Jasper, wildly. 'Where is your nephew?' repeated Neveille. 'Why do you ask me?' 'I ask you,' retorted Jasper, 'because you were the last person in his company, and he is not to be found.' The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Dick
ens's last novel, lay unfinished at his death. Speculation remains rife as to its probably conclusion; evidence suggests that, fascinated as Dickens was by details of the plotting, his basic concern was for character and appropriate setting, in parti
cular the character of the hero-villain, Jasper. The ancient city of Cloisterham, its cathedral a reminder of mortality, human frailty, and the lawful life, is an effective background for what Dickens daughter called a tale of 'the tragic secrets of
the human heart'. Humour is provided by a host of characters ranging fro Mr Grewgious, the admirable though eccentric lawyer, and Miss Twinkleton, guardian of the Young Ladies' Seminary, to Durdles, the hard-drinking stonemason, and Deputy, the irrev
erent lodging-house boy. This edition contains Dickens's working plans for the novel, and the text is that of the authoritative Clarendon edition.

Hopper
Edward Hopper (1882–1967) is considered the first significant American painter in 20th-century art. Living in a secluded country house with his wife, Josephine, he depicted the loneliness of big-city people in canvas after canvas. Probably the most famous of them, Nighthawks, done in1942, shows a couple seated quietly, as if turned inwards upon themselves, in the harsh artificial light of an all-night restaurant. Many of Hopper’s pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, abandoned houses, depicted inbrilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper’s paintings are marked by striking juxta-positions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment some-times lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. In House by the Railroad, a harsh interplay of light and shadow makes the abandoned building seem veritably threatening. On the other hand, Hopper’s renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimisticside of his character.
