Lacná kniha Daleko od Toleda
Když byli Židé vyhnáni ze Španělska, rozutekli se všemi možnými směry a zakotvili také na území dnešního Bulharska, kde někteří z nich zapustili kořeny. Nejinak tomu bylo v případě předků dědečka Ožungra, který v sousedské sounáležitosti s dalšími Židy, ale i Armény, Bulhary a Turky prožil na plovdivském předměstí celý svůj rozporuplný, leč svým způsobem šťastný život. A zplodil potomky, kteří mohou vyprávět, vzpomínat a hodnotit. Mohou se zamyslet nad neuvěřitelnou náboženskou i lidskou tolerancí, která tehdy panovala. Aniž by Wagenstein opakoval banální a všeobecně známou skutečnost, že strom vyrůstá z kořenů a je na nich v největší míře závislý, působivě a s grácií skutečného vypravěče konstatuje, že z některých kořenů vyrůstá strom vhodný leda na klacky, ale jsou i takové, z nichž vznikají housle – což v určitém smyslu platí i pro lidi...

A Clockwork Orange: Critical Edition
Fully restored edition of Anthony Burgess' original text of A Clockwork Orange, with a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews
Edited by Andrew Biswell With a Foreword by Martin Amis
'It is a horrorshow story ...'
Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean?
A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'.
Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and educated at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He spent six years in the British Army before becoming a schoolmaster and colonial education officer in Malaya and Brunei. After the success of his Malayan Trilogy, he became a full-time writer in 1959. His books have been published all over the world, and they include The Complete Enderby, Nothing Like the Sun, Napoleon Symphony, Tremor of Intent, Earthly Powers and A Dead Man in Deptford. Anthony Burgess died in London in 1993.
Andrew Biswell is the Professor of Modern Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. His publications include a biography, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, which won the Portico Prize in 2006. He is currently editing the letters and short stories of Anthony Burgess.

A young woman with no memory of her past uncovers her incredible destiny in Alita, a groundbreaking new experience from visionary filmmakers James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez. From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), comes Alita: Battle Angel, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment.

Angel in the Shadows
Farah Hafez raised her head and stared into the camcorder's reflective black hole.
'Now say what I want you to say. And do it convincingly. You can save this girl's life.'
That's when the words came. Unexpected and forceful. Like vomit.
'I, Farah Hafez, support the jihad against President Potanin's criminal regime.'
He smiled coldly and pulled the trigger anyway.
After investigating what appeared to be a simple hit-and-run, journalist Farah Hafez became caught up in a web of crime and corruption that led to her kidnap. Detained in Russia, she was forced to pledge her allegiance to a terrorist group on camera.
Now sought by international security and members of the criminal class alike, Farah flees to Jakarta to continue her investigation while her friends and allies attempt to clear her name from across the globe.
If Farah is ever going to regain her freedom, she needs to discover the root of the evil that bought her here. The problem is that discovering this might cost her her life.

Unravelling the years from the present to the 1950s, The Third Angel is a compelling novel, set mainly in London, about girls and women who make the wrong choices and have to live with the sometimes unbearable consequences.

Clockwork
'Can fairly be compared to the great gothic fantasies of the greatly missed Leon Garfield. Elegantly produced, with haunting illustrations by Peter Bailey.... For those who might want to read spooky stories this winter in front of a flicking fire,
this story could hardly be better' The Independent
Tick, tock, tick, tock! Some stories are like that. Once you've wound them up, nothing will stop them...
A tormented apprentice clock-maker - and a deadly knight in armour. A mechanical prince -
and the sinister Dr Kalmenius, who some say is the devil... Wind up these characters, fit them into a story on a cold winter's evening, with the snow swirling
down, and suddenly life and the story begin to merge in a peculiarly macabre - and unstopp
able - way.
Almost like clockwork...Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže byť iba ilustračná. Obsah knihy aj cena budú v
