Christine And The Queens - Paranoia, Angels, True Love CD
Héloise Adélaide Letissier profesionálne známy ako „Christine and the Queens“ a „Redcar“, alebo jednoducho „Chris“, je francúzsky spevák a skladateľ. Narodil sa a vyrastal v Nantes, ako štvorročný sa začal učiť hru na klavíri a počas štúdia našiel inšpiráciu v jednom z londýnskych klubov. Jeho debutový štúdiový album „Chaleur humaine“ (2014) získal uznanie kritiky, dostal sa na 2. miesto vo francúzskom aj britskom rebríčku a vo Francúzsku bol certifikovaný ako diamantový; bola to tiež najpredávanejšia debutová nahrávka v Spojenom kráľovstve. V roku 2018 vydal svoj druhý štúdiový album „Chris“, ktorý si získal ďalšie uznanie u kritikov. Clash, The Guardian a The Independent ho označili za album roka a umiestnili sa v prvej desiatke z deviatich ďalších koncoročných zoznamov. Skladbu „Girlfriend“ ocenil časopis Time ako pieseň roka. V reakcii na smrť svojej matky vydal Letissier v roku 2020 EP“La vita nuova“, pričom niektorí kritici ho označili za jeho doteraz najsilnejšie dielo. „PARANOIA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE“ je napísaný, nahraný a produkovaný Christine and the Queens, s koprodukciou Mikea Deana (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce) s hosťami ako 070 Shake a Madonna.

Lacná kniha Bloc Life - Stories from the Lost World of Communism (-70%)
There was life before the fall.
1989 was a year of astonishing and rapid change: the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and an end to an entire way of life for millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. Bloc Life collects first hand testimony of the people who lived in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania during the Cold War era, and reveals a rich tapestry of experience that goes beyond the headlines of spies and surveillance, secret police and political corruption. In fact, many of the people remember their lives under communism as 'perfectly ordinary' and even hanker for the 'security' that it offered.
From political leaders, athletes and pop stars, to cooks, miners and cosmonauts, the stories collected in Bloc Life evoke the moods, preoccupations and experiences of a world that vanished almost overnight.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
A Sunday Times-bestselling, award-nominated genre-defying tour-de-force of Faustian bargains, for fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, and The Sudden Appearance of Hope.
When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she is convinced she’s found a loophole?immortality in exchange for her soul. But the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone.
Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day.
Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him.
Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can’t escape her fate forever.
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
One of the greatest novels ever written, now in a wonderful new clothbound edition
Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first 'postmodern' novel. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr Slop, Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.
The text and notes of this volume are based on the acclaimed Florida Edition, with a critical introduction by Melvyn New and Christopher Ricks's introductory essay from the first Penguin Classics edition.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love.
When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one winter morning he is catapulted back to the brief time they spent playing together as children. Their unique spark is instantly reignited.
What comes next is a story of friendship and rivalry, fame and creativity, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, ultimately, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And
I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare.
Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . .
and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.
Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane produced an avalanche of sublime literature before he succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. Yet his short life was an eventful one: from crushing poverty as a newcomer to Manhattan and his near-drowning in a shipwreck, to his stint as a war correspondent in Cuba and international fame at twenty-five, to his final years in England and friendships with Joseph Conrad and Henry James. In Burning Boy, celebrated novelist Paul Auster delves deeply into the story of Crane's tumultuous and dramatic life.
Vesmír v hlavě / Universe in the Head
Publikace Vesmír v hlavě předkládá obraz umělecké tvorby slovenské sochařky Pavly Scerankové v posledním desetiletí. Prostřednictvím textů britské kritičky Chloe Stead a českého kurátora Jana Zálešáka je rozvrstvena do tematických kapitol, které přináší vhled do autorčina bohatého sochařského a vizuálního jazyka. Pavla Sceranková (*1980) přináší do oblasti sochařské a objektové tvorby nový autorský jazyk a výraz; novou koncepci, navazující na silný odkaz postmoderního, ale zároveň i neokonceptuálního prostorového umění. Vytváří sochařské objekty a instalace vyznačující se minimalistickou čistotou a citlivým vztahem k danému místu. Jinou polohou její tvorby je vytváření objektů, v nichž je zakomponován prvek akce, které vyzývají diváka k interakci. Někdy nabývají podoby videa, či spíše videosochy, která stojí na pomezí performance, animované sochy a autonomního videa. Vyjadřují existenciální vztah člověka k prostředí, ve kterém žije a se kterým se konfrontuje. V obsahové rovině se Pavla Sceranková intenzivně zabývá reflexí lidského vnímání, pamětí a individuálním prožíváním okolního světa. Vychází z osobního prožitku a zkoumá způsob, jak se tento prožitek uchoval v paměti, respektive jaký tvar nabyl. Autorka tematizuje fenomén vnímání, prožívání aktu vnímání, vztah vnímání ke vnímanému světu a vědomí aktu vnímání. Studovala v letech 2000–2006 na Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze, kde v roce 2011 úspěšně ukončila doktorské studium. V rámci stipendijních pobytů absolvovala roční stáž u prof. Tony Gragga v Berlíně. V letech 2010–2015 působila jako akademický pracovník na Katedře výtvarné výchovy a textilní tvorby Univerzity Hradec Králové. V současné době vede s Dušanem Zahoranským vlastní Ateliér intermediální tvorby na pražské Akademii výtvarných umění. Autorkou grafického designu je Adéla Svobodová. Kniha vychází v česko-anglické verzi.
