Middlemarch
One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'
'One of the few English novels written for grown-up people' Virginia Woolf
George Eliot's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly evocation of connected lives, changing fortunes and human frailties in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfilment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; Dr Lydgate, whose pioneering medical methods, combined with an imprudent marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamond, threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past.
Edited with an Introduction and notes by ROSEMARY ASHTON

Think, Write, Speak
'Masterly, hilarious, truly insightful.' - Philip Hensher, The Spectator
A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2019
The last major collection of Nabokov's published material, Think, Write, Speak brings together a treasure trove of previously uncollected texts from across the author's extraordinary career.
Each phase of his wandering life is included, from a precocious essay written while still at Cambridge in 1921, through his fame in the aftermath of the publication of Lolita to the final, fascinating interviews given shortly before his death in 1977.
Introduced and edited by his biographer Brian Boyd, this is an essential work for anyone who has been drawn into Nabokov's literary orbit. Here he is at his most inspirational, curious, playful, misleading and caustic. The seriousness of his aesthetic credo, his passion for great writing and his mix of delight and dismay at his own, sudden global fame in the 1950s are all brilliantly delineated.

Monkey Business - Bad Time For Gentlemen LP
KDO: Respektované hudební seskupení kolem multiinstrumentalisty, skladatele a producenta Romana Holého doposud vydalo 8 studiových alb, získalo 13 cen Anděl a mnoho dalších prestižních ocenění a absolvovalo téměř tisícovku živých vystoupení, která patří k jeho nejsilnějším zbraním. Velkou změnou v uplynulých měsících byl odchod zpěvačky Tonyi Graves, kterou vystřídala výrazná pěvecká posila Tereza Černochová.
CO: Nezaměnitelný rukopis Romana Holého, výtečné výkony vokalistů Matěje Rupperta a Terezy Černochové a špičková jména světového věhlasu - pozounista Fred Wesley (James Brown, George Clinton, Count Basie, Maceo Parker ad.), saxofonista Tivon Pennicott (Gregory Porter ad.), klávesista Ondřej Pivec (Ondřej Pivec Organic Quartet, Kennedy Administation, Gregory Porter ad.) a zpěvák Ashley Slater (Freak Power) spolu s jako vždy originálními texty jsou smrtící kombinací. Skupina si na albové novince dala záležet na každém detailu a posluchač bude při opakovaném poslechu nalézat stále nové a nové drobnosti, které potěší ucho i ducha. Obal alba má nepřehlédnutelný design, kterému dominují dobové fotografie Bohdana Holomíčka. Album vychází ve vinylové podobě jako 2 LP s nahrávkami na třech stranách a s grafickým motivem na straně čtvrté. Je jím vzkaz, který napsal v 80. letech Frank Zappa československému lidu.

And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie's masterpiece, and the best-selling murder mystery book of all time, celebrates its 80th birthday with this gorgeous hardback Special Edition.
'We're not going to leave the island. None of us will ever leave. It's the end, you see - the end of everything...'
1939. Europe teeters on the brink of war. Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N. Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. When one of the party dies suddenly they realise they may be harbouring a murderer among their number.
The 10 strangers include a reckless playboy, a troubled Harley Street doctor, a formidable judge, an uncouth detective, an unscrupulous mercenary, a God-fearing spinster, two restless servants, a highly decorated general and an anxious secretary. One by one they are picked off. Who will survive? And who is the killer? Copies of an ominous nursery rhyme hang in each room, the murders mimicking the awful fates of its 'Ten Little Soldier Boys'.
Look Again
David Bailey burst onto the scene in 1960 with his revolutionary photographs for Vogue. Discarding the rigid rules of a previous generation of portrait and fashion photographers, he channelled the energy of London's newly informal street culture into his work. Funny, brutally honest and ferociously talented, he became as famous as his subjects.
Now in his eighties, he looks back on an outrageously eventful life. Born into an East End family, his dyslexia saw him written off as stupid at school. He hit a low point working as a debt collector until he discovered a passion for photography that would change everything. The working-class boy became an influential artist. Along the way he became friends with Mick Jagger, hung out with the Krays, got into bed with Andy Warhol and made the Queen laugh.
His love-life was never dull. He propelled girlfriend Jean Shrimpton to stardom, while her angry father threatened to shoot him. He married Catherine Deneuve a month after meeting her. Penelope Tree's mother was unimpressed when he turned up on her doorstep. 'It could be worse, I could be a Rolling Stone,' Bailey told her. He went on to marry Marie Helvin and then Catherine Dyer, with whom he has three children.
He is also a film and documentary director, has shot numerous commercials and has never stopped working. A born storyteller, his autobiography is a memorable romp through an extraordinary career.

Má sopránový hlas a jej hlasový rozsah je tri oktávy.Tarja študovala spev na Sibelius Academy a na Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe.

Kapela si kombináciou tvrdých a rýchlych gitarových riffov s Tarjinim dramatickým, operným hlasom vyslúžila úspech ako u hudobných kritikov, tak aj u laickej verejnosti.

Pred 300 vybranými fanúšikmi otvorilo toto jediné podujatie Wacken Open Air Festival v roku 2016.

Tarjina operná zdatnosť a nádherné vokály dodávajú už tak silnému majstrovskému dielu ďalšiu vrstvu éterickej mágie. Dojímavá hudobná cesta, ktorá zachytáva ducha života, lásky, túžby a surovej zraniteľnosti.

Monsters
The year is 1964.
Bailey doesn't realize he is about to fulfil his tragic destiny when he walks into a US Army recruitment office. Secretive, damaged, innocent, trying to forget a past and looking for a future, Bobby is the perfect candidate for a secret US government experiment, an unholy continuation of a genetics program that was discovered in Nazi Germany nearly 20 years earlier in the waning days of World War II. Bailey's only ally and protector, Sergeant McFarland, intervenes, which sets off a chain of cascading events that spin out of everyone's control. As the monsters of the title multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, the story reaches a crescendo of moral reckoning.
A 360-page tour de force of visual storytelling, Monsters' narrative canvas is copious: part familial drama, part thriller, part metaphysical journey, it is an intimate portrait of individuals struggling to reclaim their lives and an epic political odyssey that plays across two generations of American history.
Monsters is rendered in Barry Windsor-Smith's impeccable pen-and-ink technique, the visual storytelling, with its sensitivity to gesture and composition, the most sophisticated of the artist's career. There are passages of heartbreaking tenderness, of excruciating pain, of redemption and sacrifice, and devastating violence. Monsters is surely one of the most intense graphic novels ever drawn.
