Lacná kniha The Lost Art of Scripture (-90%)
In our increasingly secular world, holy texts are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite violence, hatred and division. So what value, if any, can scripture hold for us today? And if our world no longer seems compatible with scripture, is it perhaps because its original purpose has become lost?
Today we see the Quran being used by some to justify war and terrorism, the Torah to deny Palestinians the right to live in the Land of Israel, and the Bible to condemn homosexuality and contraception. The holy texts at the centre of all religious traditions are often employed selectively to underwrite arbitrary and subjective views. They are believed to be divinely ordained; they are claimed to contain eternal truths.
But as Karen Armstrong, a world authority on religious affairs, shows in this fascinating journey through millennia of history, this narrow reading of scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon. For hundreds of years these texts were instead viewed as spiritual tools: scripture was a means for the individual to connect with the divine, to transcend their physical existence, and to experience a higher level of consciousness. Holy texts were seen as fluid and adaptable, rather than a set of binding archaic rules or a `truth' that has to be `believed'.
Armstrong argues that only by rediscovering an open engagement with their holy texts will the world's religions be able to curtail arrogance, intolerance and violence. And if scripture is used to engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways, we will find that it still has a great deal to teach us.

Vizuálně podmanivý snímek se odehrává v budoucnosti, v níž je lidstvo závislé na moderních technologiích víc než kdy dřív. Major (Scarlett Johansson) věří, že byla zachráněna ze spárů smrti, aby se stala první svého druhu: lidskou myslí uvnitř robotického těla, sestaveného k boji proti kyberzločinu. V průběhu vyšetřování nebezpečného zločince ale objeví něco šokujícího. Major neví, komu věřit, ovšem nic ji nezastaví v honbě za pravdou a následnou pomstou. Nechte se unést filmem „napěchovaným nervydrásajícím napětím“*, který filmoví kritici nazývají „budoucí filmovou klasikou“.**

The 5Am Club: Change Your Morning, Change Your Life
Legendary leadership and elite performance expert Robin Sharma introduced The 5am Club concept over twenty years ago, based on a revolutionary morning routine that has helped his clients maximize their productivity, activate their best health and bulletproof their serenity in this age of overwhelming complexity.
Now, in this life-changing book, handcrafted by the author over a rigorous four-year period, you will discover the early-rising habit that has helped so many accomplish epic results while upgrading their happiness, helpfulness and feelings of aliveness.
Through an enchanting-and often amusing-story about two struggling strangers who meet an eccentric tycoon who becomes their secret mentor, The 5am Club will walk you through:
- How great geniuses, business titans and the world's wisest people start their mornings to produce astonishing achievements
- A little-known formula you can use instantly to wake up early feeling inspired, focused and flooded with a fiery drive to get the most out of each day
- A step-by-step method to protect the quietest hours of daybreak so you have time for exercise, self-renewal and personal growth
- A neuroscience-based practice proven to help make it easy to rise while most people are sleeping, giving you precious time for yourself to think, express your creativity and begin the day peacefully instead of being rushed
- `Insider-only' tactics to defend your gifts, talents and dreams against digital distraction and trivial diversions so you enjoy fortune, influence and a magnificent impact on the world
Part manifesto for mastery, part playbook for genius-grade productivity and part companion for a life lived beautifully, The 5am Club is a work that will transform your life. Forever.

A has ezeregyéjszakája
Az étkezés kultusza nemegyszer felülmúlja a nő és a szerelem jelentőségét, állítja Krúdy. De vajon tudnak-e az emberek úgy enni, ahogy a természet rendje megköveteli?

Milyen a jó kocsmaillat?
Miért a legtáplálóbb étel a varjúleves?
Miből főzik a levesek hercegét, a ráklevest?

A gasztronómiai kalandozások közepette feltűnik Szindbád is, aki az elveszett múlt nyomát keresve utazik.
A kötetben a "gyomorkalandok" mellett olvashatunk Petőfi Zoltán, Petőfi Sándor fiának utazásairól, továbbá arról, miért örvendett Ferenc József öreg korában is kitűnő egészségnek, és hogyan kapcsolódik a szarvasgombás bélszínszelet a nagy operaszerző, Rossini nevéhez.

The Hong Kong Diaries
The diaries of the last British Governor of Hong Kong, published on the 25th anniversary of the handover
In June 1992 Chris Patten went to Hong Kong as the last British governor, to try to prepare it not (as other British colonies over the decades) for independence, but for handing back in 1997 to the Chinese, from whom most of its territory had been leased 99 years previously. Over the next five years he kept this diary, which describes in detail how Hong Kong was run as a British colony and what happened as the handover approached. The book gives unprecedented insights into negotiating with the Chinese, about how the institutions of democracy in Hong Kong were (belatedly) strengthened and how Patten sought to ensure that a strong degree of self-government would continue after 1997. Unexpectedly, his opponents included not only the Chinese themselves, but some British businessmen and civil service mandarins upset by Patten's efforts, for whom political freedom and the rule of law in Hong Kong seemed less important than keeping on the right side of Beijing. The book concludes with an account of what has happened in Hong Kong since the handover, a powerful assessment of recent events and Patten's reflections on how to deal with China - then and now.

In the Shadow of the Gods
From the acclaimed Wolfson Prize-winning author, a dazzling history of the world's emperors
For millennia much of the world was ruled by emperors: a handful of individuals claimed no limit to the lands they could rule over and no limit to their authority. They operated beyond normal human constraint and indeed often claimed a superhuman or divine authority. In practice they ran the gamut from being some of the most remarkable men who ever lived, to being some of the worst and least remarkable.
Dominic Lieven's marvellous new book, In the Shadow of the Gods, is the first to grapple seriously with this extraordinary phenomenon. Across the world peoples, willingly or unwillingly, fell into orbit around figures who reshaped or destroyed entire societies, imposed religions and invaded rivals. Lieven describes the anatomy of imperial monarchy and the principles by which it functioned. He compares the great emperors of antiquity, the caliphs and the warrior-emperors of the steppe before he turns to the Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman, Mughal and Chinese emperors, packing the book with extraordinary stories, astute observations and a sense of both delight and horror at these individuals' antics. The entire breadth of extreme human behaviour is here - from warlords to patrons of the arts, from political genius to feeble incapacity and pathological violence.
As one of the great experts both on empires and on Russian history, Lieven is brilliantly qualified to write a book that brings to life a system of rule that dominated most of human history, as well as some of history's grandest and most dismaying figures.

Utajené hrady a zámky III.
Otomar Dvořák a Josef Pepson Snětivý se již potřetí vypravili do rozmanitých koutů Prahy, na břehy Vltavy i dalších toků a vodních ploch, do zakletých areálů a k výstavným palácům; opět Vám slovem a obrazem představí utajené klenoty v netušených souvislostech a na nečekaných místech. K jejich objevování zvou těmito slovy: "Nejprve objevíme v Praze Ameriku. Je rokokově sladká! Poté na levém vltavském břehu zrekonstruujeme linii jezuitských lusthausů a vyhledáme to, co nám z ní zbylo. Pro osvěžení se ponoříme do země zvířat, vody a letohrádků, to jest do Stromovky a jejího okolí. Odtud se vydáme ke hvězdě, která spadla mezi Liboc a Ruzyni, tedy k unikátní stavbě jménem Hvězda a do jejího malebného okolí. Voda nás bude provázet i nadále: v předchozích společných knihách jsme se často ocitali třeba na březích Botiče nebo Brusnice, nyní propátráme okolí Rokytky; odměnou nám budou překvapivé objevy hned ve třech historických lokalitách. Ještě mnohem více půvabu potěší naše smysly na Smíchově a v Košířích, kde na nás čeká patero nádherných (a většinou záhadných, jakoby zakletých) areálů: Bertramka, Klamovka, Cibulka, Bulovka a Šmukýřka. Pak se znovu přiblížíme k Vltavě - k památkám, které si hrají (a přitom nehrají) na babu. Následně se pokusíme vypátrat tvrze ukryté mezi rybníky a stromy (Šeberov, Hrnčíře a Slavětice). A nakonec se v duchu předchozích dílů vypravíme za hranice Prahy. Tentokrát začneme tam, kde jsme na podobném výletě minule skončili, a prozkoumáme Klecany a okolí. Na pouť si vezměme jen to nejnutnější - a cestu vykonejme s očima a srdcem otevřeným! Jen tak nám Praha ukáže svou skrytou krásu."
