Aftermath : Life in the Fallout of the Third Reich
Germany, 1945: a country in ruins. Cities have been reduced to rubble and more than half of the population are where they do not belong or do not want to be. How can a functioning society ever emerge from this chaos?
In bombed-out Berlin, Ruth Andreas-Friedrich, journalist and member of the Nazi resistance, warms herself by a makeshift stove and records in her diary how a frenzy of expectation and industriousness grips the city. The Americans send Hans Habe, an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and US army soldier, to the frontline of psychological warfare - tasked with establishing a newspaper empire capable of remoulding the minds of the Germans. The philosopher Hannah Arendt returns to the country she fled to find a population gripped by a manic loquaciousness, but faces a deafening wall of silence at the mention of the Holocaust.
Aftermath is a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change. 1945 to 1955 was a raw, wild decade poised between two eras that proved decisive for Germany's future - and one starkly different to how most of us imagine it today. Featuring black and white photographs and posters from post-war Germany - some beautiful, some revelatory, some shocking - Aftermath evokes an immersive portrait of a society corrupted, demoralised and freed - all at the same time.
Lacná kniha Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange (-90%)
On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: 'I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted.' Dating from at least a millennium ago, these are the earliest known Arabic short stories, surviving in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Istanbul. Some found their way into The Arabian Nights but most have never been read in English before. Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange has monsters, lost princes, jewels beyond price, a princess turned into a gazelle, sword-wielding statues and shocking reversals of fortune.

Springsteen Bruce - Western Stars: Songs From The Film 2CD
Columbia Records nyní vydává 'Western Stars - Songs From The Film' obsahující kompletní hudební materiál zachycený na režisérském debutu
Bruce Springsteena "Western Stars." Soundtrack bude obsahovat živou podobu každé skladby, která se objevila na jeho posledním albu stejného jména,
plus bonusový track "Rhinestone Cowboy," coververzi skladby Glena Campbella.
Produkce alba 'Western Stars - Songs From The Film' se vedle Springsteena ujal i jeho dlouholetý spolupracovník Ron Aniello, o mix se postaral
Bob Clearmountain a zmasteroval ho Bob Ludwig. Stejné legendární duo, které se sešlo už při tvorbě alba 'Springsteen on Broadway.'
Film 'Western Stars' je filmovým vyprávěním o vzniku Bruceova prvního studiového alba za posledních pět let tak, jak ho odehrál s kapelou a celým orchestrem
v newyorském Stone Hill Farm. Film měl premiéru na mezinárodním torontském filmovém festivalu a autorem i hlavním představitelem je výhradně Bruce Springsteen.
V představení se objevili i speciální hosté: Patti Scialfa, Jon Landau, Barbara Carr a George Travis, který se podílel na produkci filmu.
Album 'Western Stars' se stalo mezinárodně úspěšným snad na každém možném měřitelném žebříčku, dosáhlo #1 na každém kontinentu na planetě
a bylo uznáno kritiky těch nejprestižnějších hudebních časopisů jako jedno z nejlepších děl v kariéře Bruce Springsteena.
I to dopomohlo Springsteenovi zařadit se po bok Davida Bowieho a kapely Rolling Stones mezi pět historicky nejlepších alb žebříčku UK chart.

Bridgerton: The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons Book 2)
1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better... --Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814
Anthony Bridgerton needs a wife.
Having spent his twenties in a rakish pursuit of pleasure, he knows it's high time he settled down and ensured the continuation of the Bridgerton line.
Edwina Sheffield is considered the most beautiful debutante of the current season. She is also sweet, innocent and eminently biddable - Anthony is sure she'll make a perfectly acceptable wife and vows to make her his.
The only obstacle in his way is Edwina's older sister, Kate. Kate is determined to do all she can to allow her sister the chance to marry for love rather than convenience. And the roguish viscount is beginning to think he may have met his match in Kate's keen wit and sharp tongue. Until, that is, he makes the mistake of kissing her . . .

The Eye of the World
The Eye of the World and its sequels in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series show the extent to which one can go with a traditional fantasy framework, with added gusto. Stock elements are abound: a reluctant hero--in fact five humble village folk--plucked from wholesome obscurity to fight dark powers; an eternal evil enemy who can be defeated but not destroyed, until the end of the world, which is fast approaching; a mysterious sisterhood with vast powers and who love to manipulate thrones and kingdoms from the shadows (think of the Bene Gesserit of the Dune series); a ferocious battle-hardened warrior race (echoes of the Fremen of Dune, or the Haruchai of the Thomas Covenant novels). Jordan didn't become a bestselling author merely by mixing up traditional ingredients; a master storyteller, he ingeniously gives unusual twists to these conventional fantasy elements. He also excels in the descriptive and narrative skills needed to create a detailed and coherent imaginary world. The many lands he portrays are vast in scope and contain amazingly varied countries and peoples, while retaining the inner coherence needed to make them satisfying places for a fantasy fan to roam around in. However, Jordan's writing never attains the subtlety or sophistication of, say, George RR Martin and there are some annoying stylistic tics: he seems unable to introduce a female character without commenting on her neckline and thereafter has them forever smoothing their dresses. To his publisher's credit, Jordan's books are fortunate among fantasy novels in not having covers that look like an explosion of a teenager's bedroom. The absence of such lurid artwork is, perhaps, part of their appeal.

Pixies - Beneath The Eyrie (EE Version) CD
KDO: Pixies vznikli na počátku roku 1986. Svou kombinací ostrých kytarových riffů, s popově melodickou chytlavostí, prolínajícími se mužsko-ženskými harmoniemi, se stali jednou z nevlivnějších alternativně rockových kapel konce 80. a první poloviny 90. let. V těžko proniknutelných textech se pod povrchem zabývali vesmírem, náboženstvími, sexem i popkulturou. Jejich přímé, dynamické, krátké skladby jsou jedním ze základních stavebních kamenů nezávislého roku konce minulého tisíciletí.
CO: Své sedmé studiové album vydá kapela v září 2019 a podpoří jej i koncertním vystoupením na začátku října v pražské Lucerně.

Things that keep us here
It began with a dead bird. Then state-wide school closure. Before long, the whole town is in lockdown and the Brooks family are quarantined in their own home - with a faceless enemy on their doorstep. They must cope as best they can, battling hunger, cold and boredom. But as the threat inches closer, and neighbour turns against neighbour, single mother Ann doesn't know who she can trust - including those taking refuge in her house. With no end in sight, Ann knows that if she is to protect her daughters from untold danger, she must make impossible decisions in order to survive...

The Witch and the Tsar
Yaga lives deep in the Russian forest, tending to any that call upon her for her healing potions and vast wisdom.
She has been alone for centuries, with only her beloved animals for company. But, when Tsaritsa Anastasia, wife of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, shows up at Yaga's cottage on the brink of death, Yaga is compelled to travel with her to Moscow to keep her safe.
However, the Russia Yaga sees as she makes her journey to the heart of the country is one on the brink of chaos. Tsar Ivan - soon to become Ivan the Terrible - grows more volatile and tyrannical by the day, and Yaga believes the tsaritsa is being poisoned by an unknown enemy. But what Yaga cannot know is that Ivan is being manipulated by powers far older and more fearsome than anyone can imagine.
Set in sixteenth-century Russia, The Witch and the Tsar upends the stories we know of Baba Yaga as the bony-legged witch of Slavic fairy tales and the stuff of nightmares. For beyond the rumours of her iron nose, fangs for teeth, and house on chicken legs, is the story of a woman so wise and strong that she has to be cloaked in lies to hide her true power.
The Fire
How can two lovers find a way back to each other, when the pain of the past stands between them?
With plans adrift after a fire burns down their rented holiday cabin, Rahel and Peter find themselves unexpectedly on an isolated farm where Rahel spent many a happy childhood summer. Suddenly, after years of navigating careers, demanding children and the monotony of the daily routine, they find themselves unable to escape each other's company. With three weeks stretching ahead, they must come to an understanding on whether they have a future together.
What happens when love grows older and passion has faded? When what divides us is greater than what brought us together? And how easy is it to ask the fundamental questions about our relationships?

The Apple in the Dark
Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one', this intoxicating portrayal of a man searching for his destiny is her mystical, enigmatic masterpiece
'All I've got is hunger. And that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall'
Martim, believing that he has committed a murder, flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through the vastness of nature he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely.
