ThE ABBA alebo Tato je tatut!
Autor so zmyslom pre experiment čerpá z každodenných situácií, ktoré neraz štylizuje do hry s čitateľom. Problémy vyplývajú z byrokratických prekážok, prekonávaných zákulisnými činmi, ale aj z javov hlbinnej psychológie, ako ich uvádza povedzme poviedka Balkón. Tú možno vnímať nielen ako alúziu na borgesovský symbol jediného autora. Vo všetkých týchto prózach sa protirečenia rozuzľujú, preskupujú a opäť zauzľujú azda viac komicky než tragicky, na ulici, v byte či vo vojenskom alebo akademickom prostredí. Často formou odvolávok na časy socializmu, pokračujúcich v intenciách známych filmov alebo próz, kde nechýbajú poľutovaniahodné postavičky, sebaosvetľujúca irónia ani trocha literatúry o literatúre. Hoci si rozprávač, nie neutrálny, lež v rozličných podobách, nedáva, ako sa vraví, servítku pred ústa, celkový výraz týchto próz zostáva kultivovaný. Ak aj súdi, cítiť ochotu znášať nedostatky druhého.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'Powerful and provocative' Paula McLain
'Beautiful, engrossing, heart-breaking' Rachel Rhys
'Monumental in a way that few novels dare attempt' Washington Post
The Miltons are a powerful old New York family - the kind of family that used to run the world. And in 1935, they still do. Kitty and Ogden Milton seem to have it all: an elegant apartment on the Upper East Side, two beautiful little boys, a love everyone envies. When a tragedy befalls them, Ogden comforts Kitty the only way he knows how - they go sailing, picnic on a small island off the coast of Maine, and buy it.
For generations the Miltons of Crockett Island revel in a place that is entirely their own. But it's 1959, and the world is changing: Ogden's firm hire a Jewish man, Len Levy, who earns the admiration of not only his boss, but his boss's beautiful young daughter. When Len and his friend visit the island, the Milton's principles and prejudices are challenged like never before.
At the dawn of the 21st century, the family money has run dry, and the island is up for sale. Returning for one last visit, Kitty's granddaughter uncovers disturbing evidence about her family's wealth - and realizes she is on the verge of finally understanding the silences that seemed to hover just below the surface of her family all her life.
'Thought-provoking and propulsive...Welcome to old money, new heartbreak and big secrets' New York Times Book Review

How to Think More Effectively
A guide to identifying, nurturing and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking.
We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a very brilliant idea or two. However, our minds are also tantalisingly unpredictable, spending worryingly large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves.
This is a book about how to optimise these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfil our potential - and achieve the contentment we deserve. We learn - among other things - how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear, at what times of day to try to work and for how long, how to make use of our boredom and instincts - and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems.

To Please The Billionaire
The Annie Hill was never appreciated by boys. She was hard working, self-reliant and didn’t need a man. But lonely and venerable one night, she is approached by Jarvis. His wealthy employer wants to hire her as a dinner companion in exchange for a penthouse, a salary and a 5 figure wardrobe stipend. It’s an opportunity Annie can’t pass. But when Annie’s handsome, powerful benefactor offers her everything she could ever desire in exchange for her acceptance of a mysteriously gift, Annie finds herself in a secret world of unimaginable sexual pleasures, that changes her life forever. Serving the Billionaire:Rachel’s heart stopped when he entered the restaurant. He was rugged and sexy. His smile lit the room, but the darkness in his eyes hinted to more. Drawn her into his sports car, he sped her away to a world of luxury and privilege leaving all of her troubles behind. Rachel breathed in his passion like a drug. To leave him was like death; but to be with him was to dance with the demons. As He Desires:Rebecca Prichard wasn’t looking for love. She wasn’t looking for a good time. What she wanted more than anything was a job. But nearly broken by her difficulties, she made a deal with herself; at her friend’s wedding, she would become someone else. It was her uninhibited alter ego that first saw HIM. His sensual green eyes and the dark mystery that surrounded him tore open a crack in her. Craving his touch like a drug, she followed him into his limousine. And entering a world of dangerous sex, wealth and privilege, Rebecca’s life would change forever. Rescued by the Billionaire:Raven knows two things for sure: She stands in the dark, naked and bound by the wrists; and there is a powerful naked man with her seducing her mind as much as her body. Needing to know how she got there, Raven relives her life and death journey as a mysterious man from her past rescued her from a car crash off of a mountain cliff during the worst snow storm in 100 years. Unsure of who is now seducing her will, she must piece together her journey there in order to discover who she should run towards and who she must escape.
The Billionaire's Indecent Proposal:How many times have you looked around an airport terminal and wondered if one of those strangers could be “the one”? Sophie Specter didn’t have to wonder. When she lowered her magazine, there he was. He was tantalizingly mysterious and his devilish charm was inescapable. He would have been perfect except for the way he picked up on the things that a beautiful, small town girl tried to hide. But the heat between two gorgeous strangers is hard to ignore. In this moment, the secrets they both had didn’t have to matter. And staring into his sultry eyes for the first time, she could not have guessed how her life would change next.

Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test
It's time to leave behind the tired nature-versus-nurture debate. In Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test , Marlene Zuk asks a more fascinating question: How does behaviour evolve, and how is that process similar-and different-in people and animals?
Drawing from a wealth of research, including her own on insects, she explores how genes and the environment work together to produce cockatoos that dance to rock music and ants that heal their injured companions. She follows the different paths cats and dogs took to living with humans and asks whether bees are domestic animals. In exploring intelligence, mating behaviour and fighting disease, Zuk turns to smart spiders, silent crickets and crafty crows. She shows how neither our behaviour nor that of other animals is dictated solely by genes, and that animal behaviour can be remarkably similar to human behaviour-and wonderfully complicated in its own right.

Judgement of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism
In 1863, the French painter Ernest Meissonier was one of the most famous artists in the world. The darling of the 'Salon' - that all important public art exhibition held biannually in Paris - he painted historical subjects in meticulous detail and sold his works for astronomical sums to collectors who included Napoleon III himself. Manet, on the other hand, was struggling in obscurity. Famous today as the father of Impressionism, when this books opens he was known only as the sloppy painter of a few much-derided canvases depicting absinthe-drinking beggars and bourgeois gentlemen in top hats. With his usual narrative brilliance and eye for telling detail, Ross King has taken the parallel careers of Meissonier and Manet and used them as a lens for their times. Beginning with the year that Manet exhibited his ground-breaking Dejeuner sur l'herbe and ending in 1874 with the first 'Impressionist' exhibition, King plunges us into Parisian life - on the streets and in the corridors of power - during a ten-year period full of social and political ferment. These were the years in which Napoleon III's autocratic and pleasure-seeking Second Empire fell from its heights into the ignominy of the Franco-Prussian war and the ensuing Paris Commune of 1871. But it was also a period in which a group of artists, with Manet in the vanguard began to challenge the establishment by refusing to paint classical or historical subjects and, instead, turning to the landscapes and ordinary people they saw around them. Benign as such paintings might seem today, they helped change the course of history. The struggle between Meissonier and Manet to get their paintings exhibited in pride of place at the Salon was not just about art, it was about how to see the world.

The Moon Rock
Excerpt:The voice of the clergyman intoned the last sad hope of humanity, the final prayer was said, and the mourners turned away, leaving Mrs. Turold to take her rest in a bleak Cornish churchyard among strangers, far from the place of her birth and kindred.The fact would not have troubled her if she had known. In life she had been a nonentity; in death she was not less. At least she could now mix with her betters without reproach, free (in the all-enveloping silence) from the fear of betraying her humble origin. Debrett’s Peerage was unimportant in the grave; breaches of social etiquette passed unnoticed there; the wagging of malicious tongues was stopped by dust.
