El Camino - Az út, ami hazavisz
A TRILÓGIA ELSŐ KÖTETE!
Akik túlélték a halál pillanatát, azt mondják, pár másodperc alatt lepereg a szemük előtt az életük. De csak ott, az utolsó pillanatban kristályosodik ki a lényeg - akkor általában már késő.
Én negyven napot kaptam a sorstól, hogy végignézzem életem filmjét - még időben. Mint amikor a sötétben váratlanul felkapcsolják a villanyt... Megismerhettem a lényeget.
Zarándoklatra indultam, fájdalmas vezeklés lett belőle. Egy olyan "bűnért", amit nem is tudtam, hogy elkövettem.
Amit itt leírtam, nem a képzelet szüleménye.
Legyalogoltam a nyolcszáz kilométert, és átéltem minden pillanatát. Remegtem a döbbenettől, amikor kézzel foghatóvá vált a csoda, és sírtam a zavarodottságtól, amikor nem értettem, mi történik velem.
Ha más meséli, amit ott átéltem, azt mondom, túl színes a fantáziája.
SÁNDOR ANIKÓ eredetileg újságíró, akinek élete akkor vett nagy fordulatot, amikor 2011-ben végiggyalogolta a 800 km-es zarándokutat.
Hazatérve hátat fordított addigi életének, azóta 16 könyve jelent meg a világ közeli és távoli pontjaira megtett külső-belső utazásairól, amelyek középpontjában mindig az emberi lélek áll.
Éppen a városi buszra szálltam fel, a sofőr mögött kaptam helyet, és amikor elindult, kinéztem az ablakon, felfelé, oda, ahová egy magasabb intelligenciát képzelünk, és azt kérdeztem: mire volt jó ez az egész? Miért szenvedek, ahelyett, hogy élvezném az utat? Miért kellett találkoznom ezzel a fiúval?
És akkor váratlanul az történt, hogy válasz érkezett. Nem mennydörgés vagy villámlás formájában, nagyon csöndes volt a válasz. Mintha valaki szelíden diktálna egy szöveget, úgy jött.
"Azért, hogy emlékeztesselek, az igazi szeretet olyan, mint amit most érzel. Amikor a másik ember fontosabb, mint te. Mikor szerettél így utoljára?"
Turned and Taken
What if suddenly every hot guy wanted you? The curvy, eternally-awkward wallflower, Sakina Lightbourn, knows exactly what that’s like. Picked on, or even worse, flat-out ignored by every member of the opposite sex since puberty, she’s dragged across the globe to a new school in the hauntingly beautiful Bahamas. Her first day was no paradise, though. Accused of stealing some sort of werewolf medallion, bullied, and then getting into a fight with her mom, things couldn’t have gone worse. But then she meets Dax, the super sexy boy from her class who has more than just animal magnetism. One mysterious night with him and everything changes. Now she’s strong, confident and every hot guy wants her. But, was it a good idea to attract the attention of the dark, bruting Lane Lafleur? Sure, he’s gorgeous and built like a Greek god, but he’s as hot as he is dangerous. And when he pulls up to her house one full-moon demanding that she go with him, she isn’t prepared for where he would take her, who she would become, and what would happen next.

9 princípov moderného človeka
Kniha s myšlienkou Learn&Lead / Uč sa a veď! vám pomôže stať sa učiteľom, akého súčasný svet a spoločnosť potrebujú. Nielen pre druhých, ale i pre seba samého. Význam slova učenie sme v dnešnej dobe okresali na termíny a poučky, ktoré sa stačí namemorovať a potom ich „sypať ako z rukáva“. Skutočné poznanie je však proces, ktorý prebieha neustále a je spätý ako s pevne definovanými zákonitosťami, tak i s vnímaním seba samého. Neučíme sa len z kníh, ale predovšetkým zo života. Ako zvládnuť náročné situácie, problémy, výzvy, ktorým na zemi čelíme všetci bez rozdielu?
Publikácia „9 princípov moderného človeka“ predstavuje 9 myšlienok, ktoré sú sprievodcom na ceste k spokojnejšiemu, šťastnejšiemu životu. Podľa konkrétnej životnej situácie si človek vyberá princíp, ktorý s ním najviac rezonuje a následne sa ho pokúša zaviesť do svojich myšlienok a konania. Postupne prechádza jednotlivými princípmi, ktoré z neho robia dobrého učiteľa a motivátora nielen pre seba, ale aj pre iných.
Kniha funguje ako prostriedok motivovania a učenie deviatich princípov sa dá zapojiť nielen do každodenného života, ale i do profesionálnej praxe, či už v prostredí školskom, manažérskom alebo domácom. Nestačí len učiť, treba aj poznať. A najlepšie začať so sebou samým.
Tlačená aj elektornická verzia knihy vám budú dodané v dvoch jazykoch (SK + EN).
Tlačená kniha je vlastne súborom 16 farebne obojstranne potlačených kartičiek formátu A6.
O autorke
Jana Chynoradská sa narodila v roku 1973 v Trnave a od čias štúdia na Pedagogickej fakulte UK v Bratislave sa pohybuje v oblasti školstva a vzdelávania. V rokoch 2000 – 2005 viedla Dámsky klub v Trnave, ktorého hlavnou náplňou boli osveta, charita a kultúra. Pôsobila zároveň ako predsedníčka Asociácie jazykových škôl SR . Rola učiteľa pre ňu vždy znamenala oveľa viac, než len sprostredkovateľa obyčajných poučiek. Ten pravý učiteľ musí podľa nej pristupovať k vedomostiam a k ich odovzdávaniu nielen s rozumom, ale aj so srdcom. Jej životným poslaním je pomáhať učiteľom rásť, aby sa tomuto povolaniu prinavrátilo potrebné uznanie, čo ju viedlo k napísaniu diela „9 princípov moderného človeka“. Kniha je akýmsi návratom k sebe a k učiteľskému poslaniu. Svoje postoje a myšlienky prezentuje aj vo vlastnej jazykovej škole Harmony, ktorá úspešne pôsobí už od roku 2000.

Hiroshige
Roughly twenty-five years after Hokusai released his series of ukiyo-e prints depicting Japan's most recognisable symbol, Hiroshige took on the subject as well-a common practice among the era's printmakers. This volume features reproductions of the horizontal version of Hiroshige's woodblock series, first published in 1852, and which reveal a mature artist working at the height of his powers. In the background of each of the views Mount Fuji is featured under varying vantage points and changing lights, towering over sites of sublime beauty, often animated by a few characters living in harmony with nature. These exquisite fold-out plates are perfect for appreciating Hiroshige's eye for composition, his nontraditional use of line, and the subtle gradations of colour and mood. Viewers can also learn much about daily life and culture in 19th-century Japan through carefully applied detail and symbolism. In his introductory booklet, Jocelyn Bouquillard provides captions for each print, as well as an appreciation of the remarkable and painstaking process of woodblock printing. Packaged in an elegant slipcase, these volumes reflect the beautiful artistry and traditions that are embodied in the prints themselves.

Check & Mate
In this clever and swoonworthy new novel from the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, life's moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart. Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory's focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on.
That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious 'Kingkiller' Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess. Nolan's loss to an unknown rookie shocks everyone. What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again.
What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over.
But Mallory's victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she can't help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist... As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren't only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive.
And intelligent... and infuriating...)This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.
Zelenszkij és a vérző Ukrajna
Ha valaki arra vállalkozik, hogy elmondja Volodimir Zelenszkij történetét, akkor azt csak úgy teheti meg, hogy egyúttal Ukrajna történetét is elmeséli. Csak így lehet ugyanis leírni annak az embernek a lelkesítő történetét, aki - kommunikációs tehetsége révén - a bohócgúnyát levetve hirtelen az elnöki székben találta magát, hogy hamarosan hadvezérként is megállja a helyét. 2022. február 24-én, az orosz megszállás első napján Volodimir Zelenszkij belépett a nagybetűs Történelembe, hogy eljátssza élete legnagyobb szerepét: Charlie Chaplin egycsapásra átváltozott, Churchill lett belőle. Ha ezt meg akarjuk érteni, akkor el kell mennünk Krivij Rihbe, ebbe a délnyugat-ukrajnai iparvárosba, ahol felcseperedett, és meg kell kérdeznünk annak az iskolának az egykori igazgatónőjét, ahová járt, régi barátait és munkatársait, akikkel együtt dolgozott a Kvartal 95 nevű produkciós irodájában, akárcsak parlamenti pártjának képviselőit, persze az ellenzékieket is, aztán politológusokat, történészeket, kutatókat és újságírókat. Színházi és tévés színész, üzletember, politikus, államférfi. Ha felmérjük a távolságot aközött, ami volt, és aközött, amivé vált, akkor tudjuk csak érzékelni, milyen hatalmas utat tett meg.
The English Understand Wool
A modern amorality play about a 17-year-old girl, the wilder shores of connoisseurship, and the power of false friends
Maman was exigeante?there is no English word–and I had the benefit of her training. Others may not be so fortunate. If some other young girl, with two million dollars at stake, finds this of use I shall count myself justified.
Raised in Marrakech by a French mother and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to avoid mauvais ton ("bad taste" loses something in the translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month abroad. One must play the piano; if staying at Claridge’s, one must regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite, so that the necessary hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests. One should cultivate weavers of tweed in the Outer Hebrides but have the cloth made up in London; one should buy linen in Ireland but have it made up by a Thai seamstress in Paris (whose genius has been supported by purchase of suitable premises). All this and much more she has learned, governed by a parent of ferociously lofty standards. But at 17, during the annual Ramadan travels, she finds all assumptions overturned. Will she be able to fend for herself? Will the dictates of good taste suffice when she must deal, singlehanded, with the sharks of New York?

Dead Men Don't Tell Tales
Guy Martin can't sit still. He has to keep pushing - both himself and whatever machine he is piloting - to the extreme. He's a doer, not a talker.
That applies whether Guy's competing in a self-supported 750-mile mountain bike race across Arizona, or trying to reach 300mph in a standing mile on the 800-horsepower motorbike he built in his shed. And during his TV adventures, travelling through Japan, winning records for the world's fastest tractor, re-creating the famous Steve McQueen Great Escape jump, discovering the toil and sacrifice of the D-Day landings and trying to cut the mustard as a Battle of Britain pilot.
Guy's become a dad now and he's hoping that one day his daughter will grow up to be a better welder than he is. Oh, and he's still getting up at 5am to work on trucks in for service or to be out on his tractor, working the Lincolnshire land he's always called home.
This is Guy Martin's latest book, in his own words, on the last four years of his life that make the rest of us look like we're in slow motion.
We're here for a good time, not a long time. To Guy, if it's worth doing, it's worth dying for.

Status Quo - The Early Years (1966-69) 5CD
Status Quo je britská rocková skupina. Skupina vznikla v Londýne a založili ju v roku 1962 Francis Rossi a Alan Lancaster, keď boli ešte školáci. Po niekoľkých zmenách v názve a zostave, medzi ktoré patrili predstavenie Johna Coghlana v roku 1963 a Ricka Parfitta v roku 1967, sa kapela stala The Status Quo v roku 1967 a Status Quo v roku 1969. Od roku 2022 bola skupina aktívna už 60 po sebe idúcich rokov (napriek tomu, že v roku 1984 oznámili rozchod, nasledujúci rok hrali Live Aid a v roku 1986 obnovili normálnu činnosť). Status Quo je so svojimi rôznymi nahrávkami pre vydania singlov aj albumov jednou z najúspešnejších kapiel všetkých čias vo Veľkej Británii.
Táto nová kolekcia 5CD Early Years (1966-69) obsahuje:
- Mono a stereo remastrované verzie dvoch pôvodných albumov Status Quo: Picturesque a Spare Parts
- Single A a B strany

Csak két lépés Észak
Észak-Korea. ?Egy földrész, aminek a puszta hallatán összeszorul az emberek gyomra.Hadley Hilson újságíró azonban nem így volt ezzel, és csatlakozott a volt egyeteme tanulmányi kirándulásához, ami Dél-Koreába indult, de érintőlegesen az északi határhoz is. Az újságíró élete nagy sztorijára készül, az Észak- és Dél-Korea közti különbségek bemutatásával.A drogok nem illegálisak északon, mégis elkülönítik a busznyi diákot a határnál, miután füvet találnak az egyik táskában.A csoportot kísérő professzor furcsán viselkedik. Amerika nem töri magát, hogy a dolgok után járjon.Hadley-t furcsa élmény éri: taszítja, de egyben vonzza is Jin Park ezredes, amire nem tud magyarázatot adni.Jin küzd a szívével és a józan eszével, de alul marad a harcban.Meddig megy el egy újságíró a tökéletes sztoriért? Vajon ott a katonák tényleg mindent megtehetnek? Ki áll az egésznek a hátterében?Korrupció, hatalom, élni akarás, vágy és szenvedély.
Egy rendkívül jól megírt sokkoló és kegyetlen történet szerelemről, hazugságról, az élet könyörtelen oldaláról, amely az első oldaltól az utolsóig rabul ejt. – D's Heaven of Books
Az alapötlet zseniális, imádtam az elejétől a végéig. A szereplők mind érdekesek, a történet tele van fordulatokkal, én végigizgultam az egészet. Természetesen a romantikus szál sem maradhatott el, ami csak még érzelemdúsabbá tette a könyvet. Teljesen beszippantott, olyan volt mintha ott állnék a szereplők mellett. – Sunny Blueberry Könyvespolca

Keys to Kindness, The How to be Kinder to Yourself, Others and the World
A deep-dive into kindness, the science behind it and how we can better build it into our lives, from the author of The Art of Rest
Kindness can be your super-power. It feels good to be kind to others. And it feels good to receive kindness. Making the world better, in however small a way, feels good and does good. Did you know kinder bosses are more successful bosses? That paying it forward can help build a purpose-driven life? Being kind strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether given or received, improve our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and explains how to use this guidance for ourselves, others and the world.
It's time for a kindness revolution.
