Lacná kniha V tmavej chodbe (-90%)
Keď Kit Gordyová príde na výberovú dievčenskú školu, veľmi rýchlo zistí, že je to tam úplne iné, ako si predstavovala. Blackwood je majestátny starý dom opradený tajomstvom, vypína sa na odľahlom mieste, nie je tu internet a mobilné telefóny nemajú signál. Chabé elektrické svetlo nestačí ani na to, aby z chodby, kde majú študentky izby, vyhnalo zlovestné tiene. Školu vedie záhadná madam Duretová a okrem nej je tam jej syn, staručký profesor a dve pomocníčky. Kit má len tri spolužiačky a čoskoro vysvitne, že všetky dievčatá spája niečo iné ako štúdium. V škole sa čosi deje a Kit sa to vôbec nepáči. Ani to, že na listy písané rukou nedostáva odpovede. Nemôže sa spojiť s matkou a otčimom, ktorí sú na svadobnej ceste po Európe, ani s najlepšou priateľkou Tracy. Najčudnejšie je, že v noci ju mátajú podivné sny a prebúdza sa s boľavými prstami, akoby celú noc hrala na klavíri, čo jej však v skutočnosti vôbec nejde. Aj ostatné dievčatá sa odrazu menia. V Kit dozrieva presvedčenie, že z toho desivého miesta musia stoj čo stoj ujsť. Pritom ešte netuší, že učitelia a študentky nie sú jedinými obyvateľmi Blackwoodu.

Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights
In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub-Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor's office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining. Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world. Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia's children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights - or two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden curse.

Rome
Matthew Rice is a long-time observer and illustrator of cities, buildings and all those who inhabit them, with an uncanny ability to express the energy of a place through a few lines of ink and splashes of paint. In the first book in this new sketchbook series, he explored the glittering canals of Venice: now he turns his attention to Rome, the Eternal City.
Rome is a place where the ancient, the baroque and the modern clash, and this tension runs through Matthew's paintings. In this guide, he makes sly juxtapositions of people and animals against the backdrop of the city's architectural and artistic wonders, its ruins and its ristoranti. Matthew's ability to notice detail, his sense of light and dark, his expert's knowledge of architecture and how it creates an atmosphere allows him to present Rome, in these pages, in its all its living, breathing splendour.
Following the same landscape format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, Rome: A Sketchbook will combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed, personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to Rome, armchair or actual.
Lutra - Egy vidra regénye
Lutra, a magányos vidrahím a folyó partján él, egy vén nyárfa gyökerei alatt. A folyó ellátja élelemmel, békéjét semmi sem zavarja meg, bátorsága és gyorsasága megmenti az erdőben rá leselkedő veszélyektől. A legnagyobb veszedelem azonban az erdőn túlról érkezik, az emberek világából.
Egy fiatal vadász ugyanis a fejébe veszi, hogy felkutatja a vidravárat, és megszerzi Lutra értékes prémjét. Fekete István népszerű regénye nemcsak a folyók és nádasok állatait mutatja be, hanem a környéken élő halászok és vadászok életét is. A legfontosabb szereplő - akárcsak a szerző más műveiben - ezúttal is maga a természet, amelyet az író csodálatos megelevenítő erővel varázsol elénk.
A közkedvelt állatregény most Csergezán Pál klasszikus rajzaival jelenik meg.

Editoriál
„Verejný záujem a dobre spravovaná spoločnosť sú prepojené nádoby. A ich hlavnými znakmi by mali byť verejné dobro, dostupnosť, participácia, rešpekt, odbornosť, inklúzia, solidarita, tolerancia, kreativita, rozmanitosť, profesionalita, sloboda, demokracia. Takéto spoločenské ciele sa napĺňajú práve vo sfére kultúry a umenia. Duchovné
hodnoty posilňujú krajinu, je odolnejšia a silnejšia,“ hovorí dnes už bývalá ministerka kultúry Silvia Hroncová v rozhovore pre Hudobný život. Počas krátkeho, 5-mesačného pôsobenia dočasnej vlády sa na ministerstve kultúry podarilo zrealizovať viaceré dôležité kroky. Pre hudobnú oblasť sú veľmi zaujímavé zmeny v nastavení rozpočtovania zriaďovaných inštitúcií či spracovanie ideového zámeru zákona o sponzoringu. V oblasti nezriaďovanej hudobnej kultúry bude dôležité dotiahnutie koncepcie Štatútu umelca, pretože veľká časť hudobníckych profesií a s nimi spolupracujúce povolania fungujú mimo zamestnaneckého rámca. S bývalou ministerkou sme hovorili aj o nedostatočnej spolupráci medzi zriaďovanými (štátnymi) hudobnými inštitúciami. Čo však takmer absentuje, je pochopenie zmysluplného vzťahu medzi zriaďovanou a nezriaďovanou kultúrou. Chýba pocit spolupatričnosti
v jednom priestore kultúrnej služby. Premenené na drobné sa to môže prejaviť napríklad ústretovými cenami za prenájom reprezentatívnych hudobných sál „nezávislým“ operátorom, organizátorom hudobných podujatí, vďaka jasnému odlíšeniu komerčného a verejného záujmu. Napĺňaniu verejného záujmu nepraje ani rozpor medzi deklarovanou požiadavkou širokej dostupnosti kultúry a umenia v strategických víziách expertných tímov a tlakom ministerstva na zvýšenie príjmov zo vstupného v menšinovej kultúre, ktorá bojuje o publikum. Výzvou do budúcnosti je aj prepojenie kultúry a vzdelania nielen pre skvalitňovanie umeleckých výchov či budovanie publika, ale aj pre zreálnenie pohľadu na odborné hudobné školstvo v jeho aktuálnej kvalite a kvantite. Výziev je dnes veľa, tie pre oblasť kultúry a umenia zhrnul tím Silvie Hroncovej v závere jej mandátu v dokumente pre verejnosť i nové vedenie ministerstva. Okrem iného sa v ňom píše: „Umenie, kultúra a kreatívny priemysel sú teritóriom, kde vládne sloboda slova, rozmanitosť a tolerancia. Je to teritórium bez hraníc – doslova aj obrazne. Je slobodné a internacionálne. Napája sa z našich tradícií, ako aj zo zdrojov modernej kreativity a medzinárodnej spolupráce.“ (Výzvy pre rezort kultúry – odporúčania ako ďalej)

Nixon and Kissinger : Partners in Power
In this epic and revelatory joint biography, one of America's most distinguished historians probes the lives and times of two unlikely leaders whose partnership dominated the world stage and changed the course of history. Tapping into a wealth of recently declassified documents and tapes, Robert Dallek uncovers fascinating details about Nixon and Kissinger's tumultuous personal relationship and the extent to which they struggled to outdo each other in the reach for foreign policy achievements. He also brilliantly analyzes their dealings with power brokers at home and abroad, while recognizing how both men were continually plotting to distract the American public's attention from the growing scandal of Watergate. Authoritative, illuminating and deeply engrossing, Nixon and Kissinger provides a startling new portrait and a new understanding of the immense power and sway these two men held in affecting world history.
