Sex, lži a pohádky
Cleo Dowlingové výhra v loterii umožnila uskutečnit její sen, otevřít si knihkupectví v ospalém městečku Kilrowan a pohodlně žít se svým manželem, atraktivním malířem Pablem. Ale sen se změní v noční můru, když Pablo přijme nabídku malovat rozmazlenou princezničku, dceru bohaté dublinské rodiny… Autorka bestsellerů Pixie Pirelliová plní všechny představy reklamních pracovníků, poslušně navštěvuje všechny besedy, autogramiády i večírky. Ale její široký úsměv jen zakrývá bolest tak velkou, že nakonec stejně musím utéci ze světel ramp a ukrýt se v hotelu na konci světa. Může utéci, ale nemůže se schovat navždy, kdo je Londýňanka s krvavými drápy a tesáky a proč se snaží zničit Pixiinu kariéru? Elegantní městská dívka Hazel MacNamarová má diář plný tajných telefonních čísel celebrit z celého světa. Která z těchto hvězd ozáří svým leskem Kilrowanský umělecký festival, událst irského společenského kalendáře, na které nesmí nikdo chybět? Bude to filmový herec Rory McDonagh? Bude to literár

Několik historek ze života AG
Dramatik, divadelní režisér, herec divadelní a filmový, spisovatel, ale též malíř Arnošt Goldflam v životopisně pojatém rozhovoru vypráví o dětství v 50. letech (též o divokých osudech svých příbuzných, kteří jako Židé museli prchnout před Hitlerem), o čase brněnské bohémy z 60. let, o několika svých povoláních (skladištní dělník, úředník), nedokončeném studiu medicíny, studiu na JAMU, prvním angažmá v divadle Večerní Brno, práci v prostějovském Hanáckém divadle (posléze brněnském HaDivadle), bouřlivém roku 1989, polistopadovém období, kdy opouští HaDivadlo a stává se člověkem mnoha angažmá a příležitostí; obšírně je pohovořeno rovněž o aféře s udělením-neudělením medaile z roku 2003 pro jeho údajnou spolupráci s StB. V poslední části je Arnošt Goldflam vyzpovídán podle osnovy známého Proustova dotazníku. Mezi jednotlivé kapitoly tohoto životopisného pásma jsou vloženy drobné Goldflamovy texty, vzpomínkově-fantaskní, snově-bizarní, ale ve svém východisku vždy opřené o životní události. Knihu provází bohatá příloha obrazová a dokumentární.

Poslední ohňostroj
Hrdiny románu jsou čtyři muži ve středních letech: Herec Jan Kalinský, matematik Hugo Rolich, lesní inženýr Gabriel Gera a advokát Petr Fridrich. Už od dětství je pojí pevné přátelství, které se však nyní začíná zvolna rozpadat. Banální události, které by dříve v jejich vztahu sotva co znamenaly, náhle vynášejí na povrch potlačované animozity, frustrace, splíny i závisti. Po nespočtu milostných avantýr se Jan Kalinský poprvé v životě upřímně zamiluje do studentky práv Rút, s níž ho seznámí právě jeho kamarád Petr Fridrich. Hugo Rolich, který ještě před pár lety patřil k největším čistým matematikům v Evropě, se utápí v profesní i osobní vyhaslosti a Gabriel Gera žije v ústraní ve vesnici Velká Morava. Právě tam se každoročně na silvestra přátelé scházejí. Ale jak s tím vším souvisí Kalinského sbírka scénářů hollywoodských filmů? V intencích prostého konstatování, že „každý solidní román je trochu existenciální“, spěje pirueta osudu k neodvratnému finále – poslednímu ohňostroji.

Tillmans, Neue Welt
Over the period of more than two decades, Wolfgang Tillmans has explored the medium of photo-imaging with greater range than any other artist of his generation. From snapshots of his friends to abstract images made in a darkroom without a camera or works made with a photocopier, he has pushed the photographic process to its outer limits in myriad ways. For this collection of photos, his fourth book with TASCHEN, Tillmans turned away from the self-reflexive exploration of the photography medium that had occupied him for several years by focusing his lens on the outside world-from London and Nottingham to Tierra del Fuego, Tasmania, Saudi Arabia, and Papua New Guinea. He describes this new phase simply as "trying out what the camera can do for me, what I can do for it." The result is a powerful and singular view of life today in diverse parts of the world, seen from many angles. Says Tillmans, "My travels are aimless as such, not looking for predetermined results, but hoping to find subject matter that in some way or other speaks about the time I'm in." The book features a fascinating conversation between the artist and Beatrix Ruf, director of Kunsthalle Zurich.

Fools Frauds and Firebrands Thinkers of the New Left
The thinkers who have been most influential on the attitudes of the New Left are examined in this study by one of the leading critics of leftist orientations in modern Western civilization. Scruton begins with a ruthless analysis of New Leftism and concludes with a critique of the key strands in its thinking. He conducts a reappraisal of such major left-wing thinkers as: E. P. Thompson, Ronald Dworkin, R. D. Laing, Jurgen Habermas, Gyorgy Lukacs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Slavoj Zizek, Ralph Milliband and Eric Hobsbawm. In addition to assessments of these thinkers' philosophical and political contributions, the book contains a biographical and bibliographical section summarizing their careers and most important writings. In Thinkers of the New Left Scruton asks, what does the Left look like today and as it has evolved since 1989? He charts the transfer of grievances from the working class to women, gays and immigrants, asks what can we put in the place of radical egalitarianism, and what explains the continued dominance of antinomian attitudes in the intellectual world? Can there be any foundation for resistance to the leftist agenda without religious faith? Scruton's exploration of these important issues is written with skill, perception and at all times with pellucid clarity. The result is a devastating critique of modern left-wing thinking.

Impulse Society What s Wrong with Getting What We Want
What do soaring debt, endemic narcissism, road rage, political attack ads and killer drones share in common? All are symptoms of a society that moves, reflexively and relentlessly, to exploit the fastest, most efficient means to any end, without regard to cost. This is the 'impulse society' in which we live. In every facet of postindustrial society - the way we eat, the way we communicate and entertain, the way we work, the way we court lovers and raise children, educate and govern - technology and affluence has let us reach our goals with a speed and efficiency unimaginable even a generation ago. But the result is not all milk, honey, and gold. Companies now reflexively maximise short-term gain at the expense of long-term success. Politicians resort with ever-greater speed to nasty campaign tactics, and can count on their damaging claims to spread before the facts catch up with them. Consumers engage in serial over-indulgence and pursue instant gratification of every whim with speed and greed. The costs of living this way are substantial: financial volatility, health epidemics, environmental exhaustion and political paralysis, to say nothing of a growing, gnawing dissatisfaction. In this epoch-defining book, Paul Roberts traces the roots of this problem, damningly revealing how it has permeated society, and cogently argues how it may, perhaps, still be reversed.

A Horse Named Steve
Steve is a fine horse, ? begins Kelly Collier's clever picture book. ?But he thinks he could be finer. He wants to be EXCEPTIONAL.? When Steve finds a beautiful gold horn lying on the ground in the forest, he realizes he has found his path to the exceptional! He immediately ties the horn to the top of his head and prances off to show his friends. Not everyone is impressed, but most of his friends agree --- Steve and his horn are indeed exceptional. In fact, many of his friends are so inspired, they decide to tie items to the tops of their heads as well. So when Steve discovers his horn has suddenly gone missing, he's devastated and frantically searches everywhere to find it. He won't be exceptional without his horn! Or will he?This is a laugh-out-loud tale of an endearingly self-absorbed horse, illustrated in lively black-and-white artwork. Throughout the story, Collier interweaves humorous commentary and some definitions (such as for devastated: ?That means really, really bummed.?). The tone of the book allows children to feel like they're in on the joke while the main character isn't, adding to the amusement. Besides its fun appeal as a read-aloud, this book would be a terrific choice to launch discussions on self-esteem, particularly about the difference between what people think will make them special and what actually does make them special. It also works for lessons on proper social skills and how to treat your friends.

Lacná kniha 1000 Chairs, updated version (-50%)
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era.
From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet’s bentwood chairs and Hoffmann’s sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair and Ron Arad’s avant-garde armchairs. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating.
This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors!
