The Lost Girl King
From the author of the bestselling Storm Keeper trilogy comes a new, spellbinding adventure...
Amy and Liam Bell have been packed off to stay at Gran's house in the wilds of Connemara for the summer. Out for a walk on the first morning of their holiday, they trace the flight of a hawk to a nearby waterfall - only to watch the bird disappear through it. Intrigued, the children follow and soon realise they've discovered the entrance to Tir na nOg, the legendary land of eternal youth.
But they've been tricked. Almost immediately Liam is captured by a troop of headless horsemen who take him to Tarlock, the ruling sorcerer of Tir na nOg, who is seeking the bones of a human child for a sinister new spell.
Packed with edge-of-your seat adventure, incredible imagination, humour and warmth, The Lost Girl King is the rare kind of story that has you reading long past lights out.
Beau Geste (EN)
First published in 1924, Beau Geste tells the story of a stolen sapphire and three brothers, who consequently join the Foreign Legion. Michael ‘Beau’ Geste, as his nickname suggests, represents honour and bravery in the midst of deceit and treachery. An action-packed adventure, much of the plot is set in French North Africa where the Geste brothers have to contend with both a mutiny in their ranks and the attacks of the Touaregs.

Various - Pop Rock Line 1966-1973 2CD
Důležitý chybějící článek v kompilační historii českého bigbítu. Na rozloučenou se šedesátými roky nyní přišly na řadu obvykle singlové a převzaté písně, dokreslující atmosféru doby. Náhražka u nás nedostupných zahraničních originálů, ale také velká šance pro začínající kapely. Pestrobarevné titulkové logo skrývá stejně různorodý obsah, po předchozích "vážných" jazzrockových či artrockových sestavách nabízející lehčí podobu kombinace rocku s dalšími vlivy. Leckteří zde zastoupení se nikdy nedočkali alba, někteří změnili hudební styl či se stali členy doprovodných souborů, jiní se naopak proslavili sólově. Tento výběr dokládá, jak populární u nás tehdy byl west coast či obecně vícehlasý zpěv. Předvádí předtím či potom odlišně úspěšné muzikanty ve službách zahraničním předlohám Beatles, Mamas and Papas, Bee Gees, Tremeloes, Procol Harum, Beach Boys, Hollies a dalších. Dokazuje všeobecné nadšení i potřebnou kvalitu, přenášející část světových hudebních trendů i na naše gramodesky. Čtyřicet čtyři v češtině a různě dobré angličtině "opajcovaných"songů rozšiřuje šestice ukázek šikovnosti domácích autorů. Booklet s ediční poznámkou, zajímavými SP obaly a fotografiemi doplňuje na CD často premiérově vydané nahrávky do podoby beatového dokumentu pod heslem Colours of covers.

Dark Music
The launch of a new series inspired by Sherlock Holmes. A murder investigation brings together two unlikely allies in a race to uncover a shadowy international conspiracy.
Professor Hans Rekke: born into a wealthy Stockholm family, world authority on interrogation techniques, capable of vertiginous feats of logic and observation . . . But he might just fall apart when the going gets tough, leading to substance abuse and despair.
Micaela Vargas: community police officer, born to Chilean political refugees in a tough suburb, with two brothers on the shady side of the law.
Vargas feels she has something to prove. She's tenacious and uncompromising, but she needs Rekke's unique mind to help her solve the case. Rekke has it all - wealth, reputation - but also a tendency to throw it all away. He needs Vargas to help him get back on an even keel so he can focus his mind on finding the killer before they're both silenced for good.

Twilight of Democracy
Anne Applebaum is a leading historian of communism and a penetrating investigator of contemporary politics. Here she sets her sights on the big question, one with which she herself has been deeply engaged in both Europe and America: how did our democracy go wrong? This extraordinary document, written with urgency, intelligence and understanding, is her answer. Timothy Snyder
Friendships torn. Ideals betrayed. Alliances broken. In this, her most personal book, a great historian explains why so many of those who won the battles for democracy or have spent their lives proclaiming its values are now succumbing to liars, thugs and crooks. Analysis, reportage and memoir, Twilight of Democracy fearlessly tells the shameful story of a political generation gone bad. David Frum
In the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, people from across the political spectrum in Europe and America celebrated a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged personal friendships. Yet over the following decades the euphoria evaporated, the common purpose and centre ground gradually disappeared, extremism rose once more and eventually - as this book compellingly relates - the relationships soured too.
Anne Applebaum traces this history in an unfamiliar way, looking at the trajectories of individuals caught up in the public events of the last three decades. When politics becomes polarized, which side do you back? If you are a journalist, an intellectual, a civic leader, how do you deal with the re-emergence of authoritarian or nationalist ideas in your country? When your leaders appropriate history, or pedal conspiracies, or eviscerate the media and the judiciary, do you go along with it?
Twilight of Democracy is an essay that combines the personal and the political in an original way and brings a fresh understanding to the dynamics of public life in Europe and America, both now and in the recent past.

Dance Of The Forest
Dance Of The Forest is the third in a trilogy of poetry collections – If The Sky Weeps, There’s No More Sky To Eat and Dance Of The Forest – in which the poet addresses issues concerning the environment.
While the first two collections deal with how man has been provoking the earth and her environment and how the earth has been reacting to this provocation, this third collection is built on hope – the hope of a future regenerated earth that can be actualized only when man retraces his steps from the onslaught against Nature.
