Lacná kniha Hitlerův kat na Východě - Odilo Globocnik (-25%)
Spolupracovník Adolfa Hitlera a Heinricha Himmlera, Odilo Globocnik, nese odpovědnost za smrt alespoň 1,5 milionů lidí ve třech nacistických táborech v okupovaném Polsku: Treblince, Sobibóru a Belzeku. Spolu s Rudolfem Hössem by mohl být označen za jednoho z prvních masových likvidátorů v dějinách lidstva. Zradil svou vlast spiknutím s Hitlerem, aby zničili nezávislost Rakouska, sehrál klíčovou roli v Operaci Reinhardt, jeho týmy, provádějící etnické čistky za pomoci ukrajinských policejních jednotek, vyháněly také polské rolníky z oblasti Zamoşći. O Globocnikovi se toho napsalo velmi málo, zejména o čtyřletém působení v Lublinu. Tato význačná biografie, opírající se o vyčerpávající výzkum, rozhovory a primárních dokumentů, líčí každý aspekt jeho života. Text doplňují vzácné fotografie, mnoho z nich ze sbírky Globocnikovy milenky Irmgard Rickheimové.

New Olympus
This startlingly beautiful and exotic story has to do with one of the most wondrous and frightening things in the world: growing up. Such simple words for such a complex, weighty, never-ending process. It carries with it the realization of responsibilities, the maddening loss of one kind of security and the sometimes-reluctant gain of another, and so much isolation. “New Olympus” is undoubtedly about a good deal more than the loss of one’s childhood. Cross’s stories, his visions of life, are as complex as the finest poetry and similarly leave the reader with singular, recognizable, yet hard-to-define feelings. This one left us feeling awash in admiration.

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 2
[CHARACTER DEPTH LEVEL +10]
Three years have passed since Shen Qingqiu betrayed Luo Binghe, and now there are only two years left before his "deceased" disciple rises from the dead to claim his bloody glory as the protagonist. At least, that's how the story is supposed to go.
In the midst of investigating a mysterious plague, Shen Qingqiu discovers that his actions have irreparably altered the plot-Luo Binghe has returned all too soon and Shen Qingqiu's brilliant escape plan isn't even ready yet! Worse, Shen Qingqiu can no longer predict his young disciple's actions.
The only thing that hasn't changed is Luo Binghe's intense fixation on Shen Qingqiu himself, but even this obsession may be more than it seems. Not that Shen Qingqiu has the time to puzzle through all the inconsistencies. There are various parties at play in the changing plot, and if he doesn't act fast, he may face a fate far worse than death.
Rise: My Story
The first ever memoir from the most decorated female skier of all time, revealing never-before-told stories of her life in the fast lane, her struggle with depression, and the bold decisions that helped her break down barriers on and off the slopes.
82 World Cup wins. 20 World Cup titles. 3 Olympic medals. 7 World Championship Medals.
A fixture in the American sports landscape for almost twenty years, Lindsey Vonn is a legend. With a career that spanned a transformation in how America recognizes and celebrates female athletes, Vonn--who retired in 2019 as the most decorated American skier of all time--was in the vanguard of that change, helping blaze a trail for other world-class female athletes and reimagining what it meant to pursue speed at all costs.
In Rise, Vonn shares her incredible journey for the first time, going behind the scenes of a badass life built around resilience and risk-taking. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits, a pursuit so focused on one-upping herself that she pushed her body past its breaking point as she achieved greatness. While this iconic grit and perseverance helped her battle a catalog of injuries, these injuries came with a cost--physical, of course, but also mental. Vonn opens up about her decades-long depression and struggles with self-confidence, discussing candidly how her mental health challenges influenced her career without defining her.
Through it all, she dissects the moments that sidelined her and how, each time, she clawed her way back using an iconoclastic approach rooted in hard work--pushing boundaries, challenging expectations, and speaking her mind, even when it got her into trouble. At once empowering and raw, Rise is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the way--an emotional journey of winning that understands all too well that every victory comes with a price.
Feminist Designer
A bold and timely collection that brings feminist theory and critical thinking to life through vital, approachable design methods and practices.
Feminist Designer brings together a constellation of voices and perspectives to examine the intersection of design and feminist theory. For decades, the feminist refrain within design has hinged on the representation and inclusion of women in the field. This collection, edited by Alison Place, however, is a call to move beyond this narrow application. Feminist design is not just about who does design—it is about how we do design and why. Feminist frameworks for design activism are now more relevant than ever, as they emphasize collaborative processes that aim to disrupt and dismantle power hierarchies while centering feminist ways of knowing and doing.
The first book in nearly three decades to address such practices in design, Feminist Designer contains essays, case studies, and dialogues by 43 contributors from 16 different countries. It engages a wide variety of design disciplines, from graphic design to disability design to algorithmic design, and explores key feminist themes, such as power, knowledge, care, plurality, liberation, and community. Through diverse, sometimes conflicting, intersectional perspectives, this book contributes new design methods informed by a multiplicity of feminisms that confront design’s patriarchal origins while ushering in new pathways for making critical and meaningful change.

Too Famous
TOO FAMOUS collects pieces Michael Wolff has written as a columnist for New York, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, GQ and The Hollywood Reporter, and adds several new ones. Written over a 20-year period, the book spans that moment in popular culture when personal attention became one of the world's most valuable commodities, and ending with Donald Trump, fame's most hyperbolic exponent.
Some of these pieces exist in the amber of a particular news moment, some as character portraits - as colourful now as when they were written - and some as lasting observations about human nature and folly. The common ground all of these thrilling stories share is that everyone in this book is a creature of, or creation of, the media. They don't exist as who we see them as, and who they want to be, without the media.

Posledná salva (svetla)
Členením na tri časti sa druhá zbierka Alojza Nociara (1948) podobá na jeho prvotinu
z roku 1979 s názvom Zátišia. Kým v prvej zbierke máme dočinenia s mladým básnikom,
druhá je skôr sprievodcom života a jeho spätným hodnotením. Nestratili jeho verše aktuálnosť, ak chceli byť aj zrkadlom doby? Už v prvej časti zbierky i v rovnomennej básni Torzo nejde iba o „...záblesk čias/čo prehrmeli mimo...“, o prechádzku galériou zážitkov či starých lások a významných okamihov. Ide tiež o miestami až krutú sebareflexiu muža, s ktorým sa život nemaznal. Práve zápasom s ním však autor chcel nájsť jeho zmysel. Druhá časť zbierky, Stratené svety, sa začína rozlúčkou s časmi detstva a starého sveta, hľadaním ľudí i vecí, ktoré sa pominuli. Básnik sa však len krátko poohliadne, aby sa potom stal sprievodcom nielen po osobnom svete, ale uchopil život v tej podobe, v akej ho môžu vnímať aj ostatní. Uprostred tretej časti s názvom Okamih spomienky sa objavuje dlhá báseň Portréty ako kontrapunkt k skratkám okolo nej. Jej inšpiráciou boli verše z dvoch listov zamilovaných mladých ľudí. Verše, čo znejú akoby z iného sveta, ktorý sa kamsi stratil, a my by sme aspoň
čosi z neho tak radi vrátili späť.
Kontraktor
Kontraktor je fenomén dvadsiateho prvého storočia, ktorý sa zrodil z chudoby a vojnových konfliktov. Kontraktora si najímajú súkromné osoby, firmy a politici, aby ich ochraňoval a sprevádzal na nebezpečných misiách. Kontraktor je telesne zdatný, psychicky odolný, dobre znáša ťažké podmienky a v krajnom nebezpečenstve sa rozhoduje s chladnou hlavou. Skôr ako autor Kontraktora Peter Kijaba dostal ponuku na uzavretie kontraktu, prešiel tvrdým výcvikom vo Francúzskej cudzineckej légii. Jeho pútavé a zaujímavé rozprávanie prináša tému, s ktorou sa na Slovensku stretávame po prvý raz. Odkrýva tabu Francúzskej cudzineckej légie, tvrdé podmienky v nej a päťročný výcvik, ktorým prešiel. Časť výcviku absolvoval v Gabone a na Pobreží Slonoviny v čase, keď v krajine začali vyčíňať Mladí patrioti.
Ako kontraktor pôsobil na Haiti, kde bol očitým svedkom posledného zemetrasenia, o ktorom informovali médiá celého sveta. Apokalyptická skaza, beznádej, zúfalstvo a tisícky mŕtvych v krajine, kde nič nefungovalo ani v bežnom živote. Všadeprítomnú hrôzu a bezcitnosť opisuje tak živo, že čitateľ sa ocitne uprostred Port-au-Prince zrovnaného so zemou. Dnes pôsobí ako kontraktor v Afganistane.

13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.
