Made in Sweden
Všechno si natrénovali. Vteřinu po vteřině. Každý pohyb. Žádný svědek nebude schopen říct, co se vlastně stalo, žádný policista nebude schopen najít jedinou stopu. Když se třem bratrům před mnoha lety rozpadla rodina, stmelilo je to dohromady. Leo, Felix a Vincent – na tato tři jména už nikdy nezapomenete.
Made in Sweden je román o nejbezohlednějším a současně nejvynalézavějším gangu, který kdy Švédsko zažilo. O bankovních lupičích, kteří přišli odnikud. Ale také o jedné rodině, sourozenecké lásce, která nezná hranic a o otcích a synech. O skutečnosti, která se stává fikcí – Made in Sweden je příběh volně inspirovaný činností takzvaného Vojenského gangu, který působil ve Švédsku v 90. letech.

The Boy Most Likely To - A legesélyesebb srác - Stony Bay 2.
Meglepetésért és szerelmi szikrákért nem kell a szomszédba menni az Életem a szomszédban romantikus folytatásában. Vagy mégis?
Tim Mason volt a legesélyesebb srác:
- egy májátültetésre.
- arra, hogy bekötött szemmel is megtalálja a minibárt.
- arra, hogy autójával egy háznak ütközzön.
Alice Garrett volt a legesélyesebb lány:
- nos, arra, hogy tuti ne randizzon öccse zűrös barátjával.
Tim részéről nem lenne bölcs dolog beleesni Alice-be. Alice-szel annál ijesztőbb nem is történhetne, mint hogy belezúg Timbe. De Tim nem a bölcs döntéseiről híres, Alice pedig kezdi gyanítani, hogy nem mindig a "bölcs" döntések a helyesek. Amikor ők ketten egymásba szeretnek, a szikrából erdőtűz lesz.
Aztán Timet utolérik vad múltjának következményei, és megdöbben. Olyan helyzetben találja magát, ami nem az, aminek tűnik, és amire sohasem gondolt volna... bár talán kellett volna.
Alice pedig ott ragad a kereszttűzben.
Vesd bele magad!
Kafka on the Shore
Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky, a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night, a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Podtitul díla zní "Humoristická - pokud je to možné - novela z ghetta". Známý pražský satirik, spolutvůrce "divadel malých forem" a přispěvatel humoristického Dikobrazu jej vydal r. 1969. Obraz vlastního dospívání v "ghettě" Terezín se vymyká z literatury holocaustu nejen spojením smrti a hrůzy s absurditou a smíchem, ale také značnou otevřeností. Tradiční pohled dětských očí na svět dospělých zde slouží humoru, ale zároveň právě smíchem ukazuje zkušenost, která je nepopsatelná. Anglický překlad Alex Zucker, doslov Jáchym Topol, osobní vzpomínkou doprovodila sestra autora a filmová dokumentaristka Zuzana Justmanová.

Rudolf Nureyev: The Life (Film Tie-in for The White Crow)
Born on a train in Stalin's Russia, Rudolf Nureyev was ballet's first pop icon. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement - both on and off stage.
Nureyev's achievements and conquests became legendary: he rose out of Tatar peasant poverty to become the Kirov's thrilling maverick star; slept with his beloved mentor's wife; defected to the West in 1961; sparked Rudimania across the globe; established the most rhapsodic partnership in dance history with the middle-aged Margot Fonteyn; reinvented male technique; gatecrashed modern dance; moulded new stars; and staged Russia's unknown ballet masterpieces in the West. He and his life were simply astonishing.

Things We Say in the Dark
A shocking collection of dark stories, ranging from chilling contemporary fairytales to disturbing supernatural fiction, by a talented writer who has been compared to Angela Carter.
So here we go, into the dark.
Some things can't be spoken about in the light of day. But we can visit our fears at night, in the dark. We can turn them over and weigh them in our hands and maybe that will protect us from them. But maybe not.
The characters in this collection find their aspirations for happy homes, happy families and happy memories dissected and imbued with shimmering menace. Alone in a remote house in Iceland a woman is unnerved by her isolation; another can only find respite from the clinging ghost that follows her by submerging herself in an overgrown pool. Couples wrestle with a lack of connection to their children; a schoolgirl becomes obsessed with the female anatomical models in a museum; and a cheery account of child's day out is undercut by chilling footnotes.
These dark tales explore women's fears with electrifying honesty and invention and speak to one another about female bodies, domestic claustrophobia, desire and violence. From a talented writer who has been compared to Angela Carter, Things We Say in the Dark is a powerful contemporary collection of feminist stories, ranging from vicious fairy tales to disturbing horror and tender ghost stories.

Madness - The Madness LP
KDO: Britská new wave, ska kapela Madness založená v roce 1976 patří k nejdůležitějším skupinám nejen žánru ska, ale britské hudby vůbec, konce sedmdesátých a osmdesátých let. Dodnes je aktivní ve svém klasickém sedmičlenném obsazení. The Madness byli krátkodobou inkarnací čtyř členů (Suggs, Lee Thompson, Chris Foreman a Cathal Smyth) původních Madness, která vydala pouze jedno eponymní album s experimentálněji laděným hudebním obsahem oproti předchozí tvorbě mateřského souboru.

Once Upon a Time in Russia: The Rise of the Oligarchs and the Greatest Wealth in History
This is a gripping and shocking insight into the lives of Russia's most famous oligarchs from New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House. Once Upon a Time in Russia is the untold true story of the larger-than-life billionaire oligarchs who surfed the waves of privatization to reap riches after the fall of the Soviet regime: "Godfather of the Kremlin" Boris Berezovsky, a former mathematician whose first entrepreneurial venture was running an automobile reselling business, and Roman Abramovich, his dashing young protege who built a multi-billion-dollar empire of oil and aluminium. Locked in a complex, uniquely Russian partnership, Berezovsky and Abramovich battled their way through the "Wild East" of Russia with Berezovsky acting as the younger man's krysha- literally, his roof, his protector. Written with the heart-stopping pacing of a thriller -but even more compelling because it is true - this story of amassing obscene wealth and power depicts a rarefied world seldom seen up close. Under Berezovsky's krysha, Abramovich built one of Russia's largest oil companies from the ground up and in exchange made cash deliveries - including 491 million dollars in just one year. But their relationship frayed when Berezovsky attacked President Vladimir Putin in the media - and had to flee to the UK. Abramovich continued to prosper. Dead bodies trailed Berezovsky's footsteps, and threats followed him to London, where an associate of his died painfully and famously of Polonium poisoning. Then Berezovsky himself was later found dead, declared a suicide. Exclusively sourced, capturing a momentous period in recent world history, Once Upon a Time in Russia is at once personal and political, offering an unprecedented look into the wealth, corruption, and power behind what Graydon Carter called 'the story of our age'.

Skin in the Game
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility
Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work?
The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't.
As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".
