Sia - Music: Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture CD
KDO: Sia Kate Isobelle Furler je v hudebním světě známá především jako velmi úspěšná zpěvačka a skladatelka. Narodila se v Austrálii a začínala jako členka acid jazzové kapely Crisp. V roce 1997, kdy se skupina rozpadla, Sia natočila svůj sólový debut OnlySee a přestěhovala se do Londýna, kde našla nové spřízněné duše. Se supinou Zero 7 vydala několik úspěšných desek a dále zkoušela štěstí jako sólistka. Po několika nevydařených pokusech se znovu přestěhovala, tentokrát do New Yorku a uspěla jako skladatelka. Napsala několik světových hitů pro Davida Guettu, Flo Ridu nebo Rihannu a v letech 2014 a 2016 se deskami 1000 Forms Of Fear a This Is Acting prosadila i jako zpěvačka.
CO: Nová deska zpěvačky zároveň funguje jako hudební doprovod k filmu Music. Základní scénář snímku sepsala sama protagonistka už v roce 2007, dotvořit ho do finální podoby jí nyní pomohl spisovatel a ilustrátor Dallas Clayton, jenž se proslavil sérií dětských příběhů Awesome Book. Hlavní role ve filmu ztvárnili Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. a Maddie Ziegler. Hudební produkce jednotlivých skladeb se ujali třeba Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff nebo Jesse Shatkin, v singlovce Hey Boy hostuje hvězda afrického rapu Burna Boy (spolupracoval například s Chrisem Martinem z Coldplay, Lily Allen, Edem Sheeranem a Stormzym, Fall Out Boy, Pop Smokem, Beyoncé, Samem Smithem apod.). Deska je k dispozici na CD či LP.

The Apple in the Dark
Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one', this intoxicating portrayal of a man searching for his destiny is her mystical, enigmatic masterpiece
'All I've got is hunger. And that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall'
Martim, believing that he has committed a murder, flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through the vastness of nature he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely.

Three Men In A Boat
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'That's Harris all over - so ready to take the burden of everything himself, and put it on the backs of other people.' Three late-Victorian gentlemen, George, Harris and the writer himself as well as their fox terrier Montmorency take a trip in a boat along the River Thames to Oxford. What ensues is a hilarious journey through the English waterways full of anecdotes, and farcical incidents with Montmorency wreaking havoc along the way.

Arkham City - The Order of the World
The Joker's attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and only a handful of surviving staff-a few nurses, a gravely injured security guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is believed that several of the asylum's patients escaped and scurried off into the dark nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these Arkhamites walk among us, and it's up to the Asylum's one remaining doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round up her former patients. Meet these Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of perfection, a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who must devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a being unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a boy who seeks the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees them all for who they are. And witness the avenging angel who stalks them. This volume collects Arkham City: The Order of the World #1-6, the complete story by Dan Watters and Dani.
Big Ideas from Literature
This third book in the best-selling Big Ideas series introduces readers to the classics, as well as modern children’s fiction—a charming addition to Big Ideas for Curious Minds and Big Ideas from History
Great stories are often universal: our very souls shine with new ideas when we read them. Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven’t learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives. Books can be a friend when you need one the most and you can use them to help and inspire others, too.
Big Ideas from Literature helps the child discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell – and helps the growing child develop empathy and resilience.
This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children. The best children’s books become our dearest friends and companions.
Children discover characters from a diverse range of books – including J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Young Dark Emu: A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe – and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.
The Witch and the Tsar
Yaga lives deep in the Russian forest, tending to any that call upon her for her healing potions and vast wisdom.
She has been alone for centuries, with only her beloved animals for company. But, when Tsaritsa Anastasia, wife of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, shows up at Yaga's cottage on the brink of death, Yaga is compelled to travel with her to Moscow to keep her safe.
However, the Russia Yaga sees as she makes her journey to the heart of the country is one on the brink of chaos. Tsar Ivan - soon to become Ivan the Terrible - grows more volatile and tyrannical by the day, and Yaga believes the tsaritsa is being poisoned by an unknown enemy. But what Yaga cannot know is that Ivan is being manipulated by powers far older and more fearsome than anyone can imagine.
Set in sixteenth-century Russia, The Witch and the Tsar upends the stories we know of Baba Yaga as the bony-legged witch of Slavic fairy tales and the stuff of nightmares. For beyond the rumours of her iron nose, fangs for teeth, and house on chicken legs, is the story of a woman so wise and strong that she has to be cloaked in lies to hide her true power.

Find out the delightful, daft and downright deadly history of your everyday life that your teachers won't tell you about.

Mind the Gap: Mind the Gap: The Narrative Power of Illustrations and Drawings
Drawing is not a myth, but a tool, a means of gaining knowledge and the basis for illustrative and artistic pictorial expressions
How pictures can be used to tell a story, how are they made, and how the head and the hand collaborate in the creative process? Just as each image is unique, so are the individual intentions of the artists. The technical craftsmanship of HOW is as much a decisive criterion for the quality of an image as its contextual WHAT. In addition to all depiction methods, rules of design, and phenomena of perception, a number of additional factors are important in making convincingly narrated images.
This book invites readers to question the world with alert eyes, to discard conventions and to open up to other ways of thinking and new ways of seeing and approaching things: to dare to be playful and ready for any kind of experiment, to ultimately throw all rules overboard in order to find their very own artistic individuality. The author's approach is not so much a step-by-step instruction with template-like schemes, instead it focuses on the intrinsic logic of things, their connections and relations, and the link between presentation and design.
