The Hobbit
This is a new paperback edition of JRR Tolkien's fantasy masterpiece, The Hobbit". "The Hobbit" is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, "The Hobbit" met with instant critical acclaim when published."

Into the Wild
By examining the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man, who in 1992 walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later, internationally bestselling author Jon Krakauer explores the obsession which leads some people to explore the outer limits of self, leave civilization behind and seek enlightenment through solitude and contact with nature. 'An astonishingly gifted writer: his account of 'Alex Supertramp' is powerfully dramatic, eliciting sympathy for both the idealistic, anti-consumerist boy - and his parents' Guardian 'A compelling tale of tragic idealism' The Times

When he uses his phone to take a picture of himself with the local shrine’s divine mirror, he is whisked off into another world – one heavily steeped in the lore of the old Norse myths. Using his knowledge gained from school and from his solar-powered smartphone, he has the chance to bring the Wolf Clan, the same people who cared for him, to prominence, all while earning the adoration of a group of magic-wielding warrior maidens known as the Einherjar.

The Borgias - Power and Fortune
* * A Daily Mail Book of the Week * *
The sensational story of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious families in history.
____________________
'A wickedly entertaining read' The Times
____________________
The Borgias have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthlessness, avarice and vicious cruelty - all have been associated with their name. But the story of this remarkable family is far more than a tale of sensational depravities - it also marks the golden age of the Italian Renaissance and a decisive turning point in European history.
From the family's Spanish roots and the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia, to the lives of his infamous offspring, Lucrezia and Cesare - the hero who dazzled Machiavelli, but also the man who befriended Leonardo da Vinci - Paul Strathern tells the captivating story of this great dynasty and the world in which they flourished.

The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion

The Prom - A végzős bál
Csak te meg én és egy DAL. Emma Nolannek és Alyssa Greene-nek közös a célja: egy párként szeretnének mutatkozni a végzősök iskolai bálján. Csakhogy van néhány bökkenő – oké, lehet, hogy több is. Alyssa még nem coming outolt. Nem mintha nem szeretne, de az anyukája a szülői munkaközösség tagja, és mindent elkövet, hogy azonos nemű párok ne vehessenek részt a bálon. Így Alyssának érthető módon nem nagy kedve van megbeszélni ezt vele. Hamarosan az egész város felsorakozik Mrs. Greene mögött, és nagyon úgy néz ki, Emma és Alyssa nem fognak boldogan élni, amíg meg nem halnak. Egyszer csak a semmiből megjelenik két Broadway-sztár, akik hajlandók harcba szállni a lányokért (némi publicitásért cserébe). De amikor a jó szándékuk csődöt mond, Emmán és Alyssán van a sor, hogy megmutassák az indianai kisvárosuknak – no meg az egész világnak –, hogy a szerelem az szerelem. A regény alapjául a hasonló című, Tony-díjra jelölt, világhódító musical szolgált. Új, netflixes filmváltozatában Meryl Streep és Nicole Kidman a főszereplők. „A The Promban mindent megkapsz, amit a saját bálodon is szívesen viszontlátnál. Varázslatos, egyedi, vicces, és mindez felsőfokon. Káprázatos könyv!” – Rachel Hawkins, NYT bestsellerszerző „A főszereplők hitelesen szólalnak meg, a történet érzékletesen adja vissza az első szerelem varázslatát. A regény élvezetéhez nincs szükség a musical ismeretére, teljes élményt nyújt.” – Kirkus Reviews Szereted a Vörös pöttyös könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan! Tetszeni fog. 16 éves kortól ajánljuk!
The time traveler´s wife
This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the fi
rst people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing.
The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú

Fra Angelico and the Rise of the Florentine Renaissance
Fra Angelico and the Rise of the Florentine Renaissance investigates the beginnings of Florentine Renaissance art, with the friar painter Fra Angelico at the centre of the story. Fra Angelico is one of the great masters of Renaissance art and responsible for its early achievements in Florence alongside the painters Masaccio, Masolino, Uccello and Filippo Lippi, the sculptors Ghiberti, Donatello, and Nanni di Banco, and the architect Brunelleschi. Fra Angelico is sometimes seen as separate from his contemporaries, because of his status as a friar.
A reconsideration of the chronology of his key early works demonstrates that not only was he a full participant in the artistic culture of his times, but a key innovator: the Prado's great Annunciation Altarpiece, Fra Angelico's breakthrough work from the mid-1420s, is the first Renaissance-style altarpiece in Florence. The Altarpiece has been the subject of extensive conservation and technological research at the Prado, the results of which are presented for the first time here. This catalogue focuses around that masterpiece, as well as two other recently acquired Fra Angelico paintings: the Alba Madonna and the Funeral of Saint Anthony Abbot.

Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times
'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' Elizabeth Gilbert
'A gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows' Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence
Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.

Lacná kniha Rudolf II. and His Imperial Prague (-90%)
Praha a především Pražský Hrad se na konci 16. století staly evropským centrem nejen okultních věd, astrologie a alchymie, ale hlavně mezinárodní politiky, vědeckého bádání astronomů, lékařů a botaniků. Vůbec první hlavní město monarchie k sobě přitahovalo i nejslavnější umělce své doby: malíře, grafiky, sochaře i hudebníky. I když to bylo velmi krátké období, trvalo všeho všudy necelých 37 let, přesto se zapsalo do dějin evropské kultury zlatým písmem. Na začátku té hvězdné doby stál jediný muž. Snílek, samorostlý badatel, sběratel umění i přírodních zvláštností, velký podporovatel všeho tajemného ve světě kolem nás a hlavně mecenáš každého, kdo mohl rozšířit jeho poznání světa, císař Svaté říše římské, král český a uherský Rudolf II. Přenést sídlo habsburské monarchie z Vídně do Prahy bylo svým způsobem velmi odvážné. I když dodnes neznáme všechny důvody proč se císař Rudolf II. tak rozhodl, mnohé popisujeme v této knize. Především je jisté, že položení Hradu vysoko nad městem vyhovovalo jeho přecitlivělé duši. Měl tam svůj klid, vzdálen žárlivým bratrům i tureckému nebezpečí. Od prvních dnů na Hradě přestavoval a stavěl. Nebudoval reprezentační sídlo, ale depozitáře pro své sbírky. Nevíme přesně, kolik položek obsahovaly, jisté ale je, že kdyby zůstaly v Praze, byla by to skutečně skvělá kolekce.

The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers: And Other Gruesome Tales
Jen Campbell's collection of terrifyingly gruesome tales lends a modern edge to fairy tale collections for young readers. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of fairy tale history, Campbell's stories undo the censoring, gender stereotyping and twee endings of more modern children's fairy tales, to return both classic and little-known stories to their grim versions, whilst celebrating a diverse range of characters.
Featuring 14 short stories from around the globe, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is illustrated in a contemporary style by Canadian comic artist Adam de Souza. De Souza's brooding illustrations are a highly original blend of 19th-century Gothic engravings and moody film noir graphic novels. Beautifully produced in a hardback format with a rose gold ribbon marker, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is a truly thrilling gift.
