A Good Day To Die
Dennis Milne is back! A dark, gritty, utterly page-turning novel set in London’s meanest of mean streets: the follow-up to the hugely acclaimed debut, The Business of Dying.When Dennis Milne — now living under an assumed identity in the Philippines — hears that his old friend and colleague Malik has been gunned down in a restaurant, he decides to go back to the violent city he once called home, and bring the murderer to book.Milne arrives in a pre-Christmas London that is cold and hostile. But he is no longer a policeman, no longer charged with keeping the peace and upholding the law.Although his friends at the King’s Cross station do not know that Milne is back in town, it soon becomes clear that his arrival has been expected by men who are after his blood. Hungry for revenge and determined to uphold his own very rough brand of justice, Milne’s search for the person behind his friend’s death leaves a trail of death and destruction that is more wide-reaching than even he could have expected.From the Hardcover edition.

Miska Hauser – Z cestovateľského denníka rakúskeho virtuóza
Husľový virtuóz, skladateľ, prešporský rodák Miska Hauser (1820 – 1887) bol nepochybne prvým hudobníkom, ktorého umenie zaznelo na všetkých obývaných kontinentoch. Svoje dobrodružstvá huslistu v Kalifornii, Južnej Amerike, na Tahiti, v Austrálii a na Cejlóne sústredil do listov, ktoré počas piatich rokov putovania a koncertovania priebežne posielal svojmu bratovi do Viedne. Sigmund Hauser listy uverejňoval v časopise Ostdeutsche Post a v roku 1859 ich vydal súborne ako knihu. Listy Misku Hausera sú vlastne prvou globálnou správou o stave hudby na zemeguli. Celok dopĺňajú odborné štúdie, mapa a zoznam diel.

To Hell and Back - Europe, 1914-1949
In the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse - a war in which the killing of civilians was central and which culminated in the Holocaust.
To Hell and Back tells this story with humanity, flair and originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise - with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and lived through such fearful times - and what this means for us.

To Kill a Mockingbird - audiokniha
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition. Out now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Sissy Spacek.show less

Piaf Edith - Symphonique LP
Jedna z najslávnejších francúzskych speváčok sa v povojnovom období stala aj medzinárodnou speváckou hviezdou.Jej špecialitou boli šansóny a balady, medzi najznámejšie piesne patria La Vie en rose (1946), Non, je nie regrette rien (1960), Hymne ? l'amour (1949), Milord (1959), La Foule (1957), l'Accordéoniste (1955) alebo Padam... Padam... (1951).
Edith Piaf, predvádzajúca svoje najväčšie piesne 60 rokov po jej smrti, v Londýne sprevádzaná symfonickým orchestrom 60 hudobníkov... To, čo by sa dalo považovať za sci-fi, sa stalo skutočnosťou vďaka renomovaným hudobníkom, aranžérom a zvukovým inžinierom. Vzali na seba výzvu vytvoriť nové orchestrácie schopné rezonovať s dnešnými ušami bez toho, aby ohrozili nostalgiu svojich predchodcov. Technickou izoláciou jej hlasu umožnili refrénom z minulých rokov dokázať, že zostávajú rovnako nesmrteľné ako ich interpret. Ikonický hlas Edith Piaf bol precízne extrahovaný z pôvodných predlôh tímom zvukových inžinierov pracujúcich v legendárnom štúdiu Abbey Road v Londýne. Album sa na druhej strane nahrával v prestížnom AIR Studios, ktoré sa tiež nachádza v Londýne. Orchester tvorí starostlivo vybraných šesťdesiat hudobníkov, ktorí tvoria významný Legendis Orchestra. Títo hudobníci pochádzajú z niektorých z najprestížnejších anglických symfonických orchestrov vrátane London Symphonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra a BBC Orchestra. Skladby skvele zaranžovali Martin Batchelar, Samuel Pegg a Nathan Stornetta.

Power of Reading Socrates to Twitter
Power of Reading is a natural companion to Christopher Booker's bestselling The Seven Basic Plots (Continuum) and John Gross's seminal study The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters (Weidenfeld and Nicolson). Eminent cultural and social historian Frank Furedi presents here an eclectic and entirely original history of reading. The very act of reading and the choice of reading material endow individuals with an identity that possesses great symbolic significance. Already in ancient Rome, Cicero was busy drawing up a hierarchy of different types of readers. Since that time people have been divided into a variety of categories - literates and illiterates, intensive and extensive readers, or vulgo and discreet readers. In the 19th Century, accomplished readers were praised as 'men of letters' while their moral opposites were described as 'unlettered'. Today distinctions are made between cultural and instrumental readers and scorn is communicated towards the infamous 'tabloid reader'. The purpose of this book is to explore the changing meanings attributed to the act of reading. Although it has an historical perspective, the book's focus is very much on the culture of reading that prevails in the 21st Century. There are numerous texts on the history of literacy (Hoggart), yet there is no publication devoted to the history of readers and their relationship with wider culture and society. It is thus a fascinating insight into understanding the post-Gutenberg debates about literacy in a multimedia environment with such a strong emphasis on the absorption of information. Taking a cue from George Steiner, Furedi argues vigorously for the restoration of the art of reading - every bit as important as the art of writing.
