Orlando (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.' Written for her lover Vita Sackville-West, 'Orlando' is Woolf's playfully subversive take on a biography, here tracing the fantastical life of Orlando. As the novel spans centuries and continents, gender and identity, we follow Orlando's adventures in love - from being a lord in the Elizabethan court to a lady in 1920s London. First published in 1928, this tale of unrivalled imagination and wit quickly became the most famous work of women's fiction. Sexuality, destiny, independence and desire - all come to the fore in this highly influential novel that heralded a new era in women's writing.

BMW Motorcycles: 100 Years
BMW Motorcycles: 100 Years celebrates the legendary machines built by Germany's leading motorcycle manufacturer.
BMW's long history of evolving technology is highlighted in this detailed story beginning with side-valve machines in the 1920s and early overhead-valve performance bikes, then moving to the postwar R-series Airhead and modern Oilhead twins, followed by four-cylinder and six-cylinder K-series touring bikes, the latest parallel twins, and inline-four cylinder sport bikes. From the first R32 that launched BMW's motorcycle dynasty, to the latest S1000RR superbike and R18 mega-cruiser, BMW Motorcycles captures a century of motorcycling excellence in a combination of historic and contemporary photos sourced from BMW's archive.
The stories behind all the classic and modern BMWs are here: 1920s and 1930s BMWs like the R5 that defined performance in the prewar era The military R12 that supported the Wehrmacht as it battled its way across Europe in World War II The 1960s R69S that offered an excellent platform for both touring and sporting riding The R90S café racer and the R100RS, the latter arguably the world's first dedicated sports tourer The astounding K1 "flying brick" The GS (Gelände Sport) series that launched the adventure-bike revolution Today's R18, R nine T, and the world-class S100RR superbike
This is a once-in-100-years story captured in a beautiful book sure to be enjoyed by any BMW Fan.
Soldiers: Great Stories Of War And Peace
A stunning anthology of great stories of war and peace collected and edited by Max Hastings.
Soldiers is a very personal gathering of sparkling, gripping tales by many writers, about men and women who have borne arms, reflecting bestselling historian Max Hastings's lifetime of studying war. It rings the changes through the centuries, between the heroic, tragic and comic; the famous and the humble. The nearly 350 stories illustrate vividly what it is like to fight in wars, to live and die as a warrior, from Greek and Roman times through to recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Here you will meet Jewish heroes of the Bible, Rome's captain of the gate, Queen Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Cromwell, Wellington, Napoleon's marshals, Ulysses S. Grant, George S. Patton and the modern SAS. There are tales of great writers who served in uniform including Cobbett and Tolstoy, Edward Gibbon and Siegfried Sassoon, Marcel Proust and Evelyn Waugh, George Orwell and George MacDonald Fraser. Here are also stories of the female 'abosi' fighters of Dahomey and heroic ambulance drivers of World War I, together with the new-age women soldiers who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The stories reflect a change of mood towards warfare through the ages: though nations and movements continue to inflict terrible violence upon each other, most of humankind has retreated from the old notion of war as a sport or pastime, to acknowledge it as the supreme tragedy.
This is a book to inspire in turn fascination, excitement, horror, amazement, occasionally laughter. Max Hastings mingles respect for the courage of those who fight with compassion for those who become their victims, above all civilians, and especially in the twenty-first century, which some are already calling 'the Post-Heroic Age'.
'A fascinating collection of military stories ... The sort of book that can be picked up at intervals ... [but] once tasted, is hard to put down' Washington Post

Hare House
Hare House is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me, kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become understandable...
In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home. But among the tiny roads, wild moorland, and scattered houses, something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay figures and young men sent mad.
Striking up a friendship with her landlord, Grant, and his younger sister, Cass, she begins to suspect that all might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch.
Sally Hinchcliffe’s Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine and The Loney.

Člověk mezi rozprostraněností a krajinou
Oproti reduktivním snahám matematizovaného pojímání prostoru se v této publikaci předkládá pokus o předestření výseče rozmanitosti zkušenosti a chápání prostoru napříč různými obory. Východiskem je konfrontace Descartesova pojetí prostoru jako pouhé rozprostraněnosti těles s Heideggerovou mnohem bohatší tematizací prostorovosti lidské existence a prostorové konstituce vazby člověka a světa. Jako klíčové se přitom ukazuje např. sepjetí prostorovosti s řečí, skrze niž se ustavuje zabydlování světa člověkem. Další perspektivy pak více či méně navazují na klíčové motivy výchozí filosofické konfrontace. Dotýkají se teorie architektury, tematizují některé prvky zkušenosti vlastní tělesnosti, pojednávají různé aspekty prostorovosti v literárním a výtvarném díle. Publikace nemůže být vyčerpávajícím systematickým přehledem nesmírně široké otázky konstituce prostoru, nicméně může být vhodným příspěvkem k mezioborové diskusi o této problematice. Autoři příspěvků:Jaroslav Novotný (ed.), dále Ladislav Benyovszky, Jakub Češka, Josef Fulka, Martin Leskovjan, Aleš Novák, Jaroslav Novotný, Marie Pětová, Taťána Petříčková, Aleš Svoboda, Ondřej Váša, Matěj Velek, Richard Zika

Road to Little Dribbling
Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken to the nation's heart and became the bestselling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain. Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey round Britain to see what has changed. Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn't altogether recognize any more. Yet, despite Britain's occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas. Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.

But Bishop’s dark past catches up with them all, forcing Bishop to choose between his love for Mary and Jase, or revenge against the men who killed his family."All that you want in a sf short story is here from powerful characters, to action, mysterious happenings, and a dark, violent, but excellent tale. … A bittersweet ending adds to the power of the story.

Proč je městský stát lepší než stát národní? Proč mít připravenu výpověď ještě předtím, než nastoupíte na nové místo? A proč znamenalo ztroskotání Titaniku spíše záchranu než ztrátu lidských životů? Nejnovější kniha Nassima Nicholase Taleba klade, jak je u autora zvykem, řadu provokativních otázek, především ale opět dochází k závěrům, které mohou bez nadsázky změnit náš život. Základní myšlenky svých předešlých knih Černá labuť a Zrádná nahodilost - tedy především to, jak podstatnou roli hrají v našem životě nepředvídatelné události, nahodilost a štěstí - Taleb dále rozvíjí poukazem na potenciálně pozitivní roli nejistoty, chaosu a volatility, jevů, jichž se instinktivně spíše obáváme. Paradoxně právě z nich můžeme podle autora těžit a dosáhnout obecné odolnosti - tak jako pevnost našich kostí vzrůstá tehdy, jsou-li namáhány. Dokážeme-li to, budeme schopni dosáhnout úspěchu i v dnešním nejistém a překotně se měnícím světě.
