La Joie de Vivre
Prs d'Arromanches, dans la maison du bord de mer o ils se sont retirés aprs avoir cédé leur commerce de bois, les Chanteau ont recueilli Pauline, leur petite cousine de dix ans qui vient de perdre son pre. Sa présence est d'abord un surcroît de bonheur dans le foyer puis, autour de l'enfant qui grandit, les crises de goutte paralysent peu peu l'oncle Chanteau, la santé mentale de son fils Lazare se dégrade, l'héritage de Pauline fond dans les mains de ses tuteurs, et le village lui-mme est rongé par la mer. En 1884, lorsqu'il fait paraître ce roman largement autobiographique, le douzime des Rougon-Macquart, c'est pour une part ironiquement que Zola l'intitule La Joie de vivre. Car en dépit de la bonté rayonnante de Pauline qui incarne cette joie, c'est l'émiettement des tres et des choses que le livre raconte. Aprs Au Bonheur des Dames, grande fresque du commerce moderne, c'est un roman psychologique que l'écrivain propose ses lecteurs, un roman de la douleur o les tres sont taraudés par la petit de la mort face une mer destructrice.

Lacná kniha Le Noed de Vipers (-70%)
De la haine, de la colère, de l'aigreur : voilà tout le fiel dont dégouline le coeur du vieil homme qui meurt, et qui décrit celui-ci comme un "noeud de vipères [...] saturé de leur venin". Vingt-trois ans de haine silencieuse qui éclate dans la lettre qu'il laisse à sa famille : l'heure est venue de régler les comptes. D'accuser et de punir : vingt-trois ans plus tôt donc, il avait cru faire un mariage d'amour avec Isa, demoiselle Fondaudège, en même temps qu'il accédait enfin à la reconnaissance sociale. Mais très vite, Isa l'avait détrompé : elle avait épousé l'argent, et non l'homme. De là était née une haine permanente et indélébile : toute sa vie, il avait abominé chacun des membres de cette famille, jusqu'à ses propres enfants, qui le lui avaient bien rendu. Et à présent, il allait leur faire payer toutes ces années, en les privant de l'héritage sans lequel ils ne pourraient pas vivre. Récit d'une vengeance, récit d'une âme noire : Mauriac nous livre une fascinante autopsie du coeur humain. --Karla Manuele

Lacná kniha Samedi (-70%)
Pour Henry Perowne - neurochirurgien réputé, mari heureux, pre comblé d'un musicien de blues et d'une poétesse - ce devrait tre un samedi comme les autres. Pas question d'aller défiler contre la guerre en Irak. Plutôt goter les plaisirs de la vie. Et pourtant... Un banal accrochage et voil la violence qui surgit dans son existence protégée. Henry aura beau tenter de reprendre le fil de sa journée, ses vieux démons et le chaos du monde le rattraperont sans cesse durant ces vingt-quatre heures, au terme desquelles plus rien ne sera jamais comme avant. Tout en faisant diaboliquement monter le suspense, McEwan entrelace évnements planétaires et privés avec une telle virtuosité que cet étrange samedi devient la métaphore de toutes nos vies fragiles d'Occidentaux pris dans la tourmente de ce début de sicle. Et cette réflexion profonde sur le hasard et le destin, les pouvoirs respectifs de la science et de l'art, la qute d'un sens qui résisterait la mort nous montre une fois de plus, aprs Expiation, un romancier parvenu la plénitude de son art.

Collapse
In 1945 the Soviet Union controlled half of Europe and was a founding member of the United Nations. By 1991, it had an army four million strong with five thousand nuclear-tipped missiles and was the second biggest producer of oil in the world. But soon afterward the union sank into an economic crisis and was torn apart by nationalist separatism. Its collapse was one of the seismic shifts of the twentieth century.
Thirty years on, Vladislav Zubok offers a major reinterpretation of the final years of the USSR, refuting the notion that the breakup of the Soviet order was inevitable. Instead, Zubok reveals how Gorbachev's misguided reforms, intended to modernize and democratize the Soviet Union, deprived the government of resources and empowered separatism. Collapse sheds new light on Russian democratic populism, the Baltic struggle for independence, the crisis of Soviet finances-and the fragility of authoritarian state power.

Lamborghini
A new updated edition of the volume released in 2020 with the history of Lamborghini.
This official book is dedicated to the history of the Italian car brand founded in Sant’Agata Bolognese in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini. Ferruccio’s dream was to create the perfect car and still today, more than half a century later, Lamborghini continues to produce super sport cars that are sought after and renowned throughout the world.
The book is divided into five macro-sections:
Where: In Sant’Agata Bolognese, Emilia, Italy—a small remote village now known throughout the world.
How: With the ingredients that make it unique—the passion of the local people, mechanical purity and unstoppable technical innovation, forward-looking design, stylish and original use of color, and a constant dialogue with new generations.
Who: Lamborghini’s strength is its people, from the past and the present, who deserve respect for what they do and what they have done.
When: The history of Lamborghini spans from 1963 to today, from the brilliant moments from the past to the successes of today, as well as the more difficult periods that were overcome with great dignity and commitment.
Why: All the models that have shaped the history of Lamborghini are illustrated here, including special editions, those that underwent significant evolution, and unreleased models.
Only the Paranoid Survive
There are moments in any business when massive change occurs, when all the rules shift fast and forever. They can make or break companies and individuals, and they can happen at any moment.
Andrew Grove calls such moments strategic inflection points, and he lived through several as CEO of Intel, where he transformed the company into the world's largest computer chipmaker, and the 7th most profitable company in the Fortune 500. Drawing on decades of personal experience and insight, as well as examining timeless examples from other companies, Grove reveals how to identify and exploit the key moments of change that generate either drastic failure or incredible success.
Only the Paranoid Survive is a classic lesson in leadership that anyone in any industry will benefit from. Because we must all assume that something will change - and soon.
A beoszott
„A beosztott Keeland legjobb írása. Érzelmes és szenvedélyes. Minden, amiért érdemes romantikus könyvet olvasni." - K. Bromberg, New York Times bestsellerszerző.
„Imádtam ezt a könyvet. Egyszerűen zabáltam. Nem tudtam letenni." - Aestas Book blog.
Amikor az első alkalommal összefutottam Chase-szel, nem tettem rá túl jó benyomást.
Egy étterem mosdója előtt kuporogtam a folyosón, és épp a barátnőmnek hagytam üzenetet, hogy mielőbb hívjon vissza valami ürüggyel, mert le akartam lépni a pocsékul sikerült randimról. Chase hallott minden szót, szajhának nevezett, majd kéretlenül ellátott néhány tanáccsal pasi- és randiügyben. Megmondtam ennek a magas és szívdöglesztően jóképű alaknak, hogy foglalkozzon a saját átkozott ügyeivel, majd visszamentem a dögunalmas partneremhez.
Később - elhaladván az asztalunk mellett - Chase kajánul vigyorgott, én pedig a pimaszul szexi, kemény fenekét bámultam, miközben odament a lányhoz, akivel együtt vacsorázott.
Képtelen voltam megállni, hogy néha lopva ne pillantsak rá erre a beképzelt és lekezelő modorú alakra, aki a terem túlsó végében ült a barátnőjével. Természetesen többször rajtakapott, hogy nézem, és mindannyiszor rám kacsintott.
Amikor ez a szívdöglesztő fazon és a hasonlóképpen szexi barátnője hirtelen ott termett az asztalunknál, megrémültem, hogy ez a jóvágású idegen be akar árulni a pasimnak.
Ehelyett azonban úgy tett, mintha régóta ismernénk egymást, majd leült az asztalunkhoz a párjával, és mindenféle kiagyalt és rám nézve módfelett kínos történettel szórakoztatta a társaságot a nem létező közös gyermekkorunkról.
A fickó - aki mellett addig halálra untam magam - furcsa módon izgalomba jött a tolakodó ismeretlen sztorizásától. Amikor az este véget ért, elváltunk egymástól, én pedig sokkal többet gondoltam erre a vonzó idegenre, mint azt valaha is be merném vallani. Még annak ellenére sem voltam képes kiűzni a fejemből, hogy tudtam, sosem látom újra.
Úgy értem, mi az esélye annak, hogy csupa véletlenségből ismét belefutok valakibe egy nyolcmilliós nagyvárosban?
A véletlen mégis úgy hozta, hogy egy hónap múlva ez a szexi pasi lett az új főnököm...

Gondolatok a szerelemről
Lélekszárnyalás? Nekem az is épp elég, mert Érted mondok imát, mikor nyugovóra térek, s míg magával nem ragad az álom. Rólad elmélkedem, Te jársz a gondolataimban, az írásaid, a szavaid, s az érzelmek, miket felszínre hozol bennem. Reggel, mikor felébredek, első gondolatom, vajon hol lehetsz éppen, mit csinálsz, gondolsz-e rám, eszedbe jutok-e, vágysz rám, úgy mint én Rád, hogy halljam újra a hangod, írtál-e megint ...S láthatlak-e valaha...

Mondd
Mondd, Te is érzed amit én?
Valami sejtelmes bizsergés fut
végig testem rejtekén.
A szavak, melyeket Tőled kaptam,
ajkamon mosolyt fakasztva megnyugtattak.
Enyhítették szelíden lélekfájdalmamat,
kezdték elárasztani az űrt, melyet nem rég
okozott a kiszakadt lélek- darab.
Már nem ejtettem könnyeket, csak
csendesen, némán tűrtem az elválást,
elhagyott, elszárnyalt minden idők álom- vonatán.
Helyébe jöttél Te, kinek lelke szintén sóvárog
valami után, Légy Te a vigaszom, a Mindenem,
kivel nem érzem többé a lélek fájdalmát.

OWC Devil and Other Stories
It is impossible to explain why Yevgeny chose Liza Annenskaya, as it is always impossible to explain why a man chooses this and not that woman.' This collection of eleven stories spans virtually the whole of Tolstoy's creative life. While each is uni
que in form, as a group they are representative of his style, and touch on the central themes that surface in War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Stories as different as 'The Snowstorm', 'Lucerne', 'The Diary of a Madman', and 'The Devil' are grounded i
n autobiographical experience. They deal with journeys of self-discovery and the moral and religious questioning that characterizes Tolstoy's works of criticism and philosophy. 'Strider' and 'Father Sergy', as well as reflecting Tolstoy's own experie
nces, also reveal profound psychological insights. These stories range over much of the Russian world of the nineteenth century, from the nobility to the peasantry, the military to the clergy, from merchants and cobblers to a horse and a tree. Togeth
er they present a fascinating picture of Tolstoy's skill and artistry.

The Waves
I, who would wish to feel close over me the protective waves of the ordinary, catch with the tail of my eye some far horizon.' Intensely visionary yet absorbed with the everyday; experimental, daring and challenging, The Waves is regarded by many as Virginia Woolf's greatest achievement. It follows a set of six friends from childhood to middle age as they experience the world around them and explore who they are and what it means to be alive. As the contours of their lives are revealed, a unique
novel is slowly unveiled. Enfolded within Woolf's lyrical and mysterious language, the mundane takes on a startling new significance while distant pasts are no less in play than the clamorous sounds and kaleidoscopic sights of the modern city. Yet precisely where the alluringly enigmatic pages of The Waves are leading, and what deeper meanings are held within its undulant chapters and shimmering interludes, are questions that have never ceased to enthral readers and critics alike. In this new e
dition David Bradshaw considers the spellbinding oddness and originality of The Waves, helping the reader to negotiate a way though this most poetic and haunting of novels. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorit
ies, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

So, Anyway...
Candid and brilliantly funny, this is the story of how a tall, shy youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed legend. En route, John Cleese describes his nerve-racking first public appearance, at St Peter's Preparatory School at the age of eight and five-sixths; his endlessly peripatetic home life with parents who seemed incapable of staying in any house for longer than six months; his first experiences in the world of work as a teacher who knew nothing about the subjects he was expected to teach; his hamster-owning days at Cambridge; and his first encounter with the man who would be his writing partner for over two decades, Graham Chapman. And so on to his dizzying ascent via scriptwriting for Peter Sellers, David Frost, Marty Feldman and others to the heights of Monty Python. Punctuated from time to time with John Cleese's thoughts on topics as diverse as the nature of comedy, the relative merits of cricket and waterskiing, and the importance of knowing the dates of all the kings and queens of England, this is a masterly performance by a former schoolmaster.
