The Nazis Knew My Name
The Nazis Knew My Name is one woman's story about the bravery and kindness shown by her mother in the Holocaust concentration camps.
In the camps during the Second World War, prisoner Magda Hellinger Blau was selected by the SS as a Jewish prison leader and she eventually rises to the senior position of Lagerälteste (Camp Elder). Madga used her proximity to her fellow prisoners and the SS to engage in numerous acts of kindness, bravery and compassion to keep the prisoners alive in frightening and uncertain circumstances. Now, her daughter Maya Lee tells the definitive story of her mother, a woman who showed great bravery and compassion when stuck between worlds of authority and imprisonment.
Using her mother's short memoir as a starting point, this book is Maya Lee's deep-dive into her mother's life and the power of kindness in the face of adversity, as she connects with fellow Auschwitz survivors and forms new friendships throughout her journey. The Nazis Knew My Name is a poignant and personal exploration of the prisoners in the Holocaust camps and the need to still tell these stories almost 70 years on.
Something Certain, Maybe
Something Certain, Maybe is a powerful novel about first love, friendships and embracing the uncertainty of an unknowable future, from Sara Barnard, winner of the YA Book Prize.
Rosie is ready for her life to begin, because nothing says new life like going to university. After years of waiting and working hard, she's finally on the road that will secure her future.
Except university turns out to be not what she hoped or imagined, and although she's not exactly unhappy - really - she might be a little bit worried that she doesn't really like her course much. Or her flatmates. Or, really . . . anything? But it's normal to be homesick (right?) and everything will have settled in a month or two, and it's totally fine that her friends seem so much happier than she is, and that the doctors don't seem to know what's wrong with her mother.
And then she meets Jade, and everything starts to look a little brighter. At least, it does if she's only looking at Jade. But is first love enough when everything else is falling apart?
Black Candle Women
'All of you are cursed, you hear me?
An ugly death for the ones with whom you fall in love'
Generations of Montrose women - Augusta, Victoria, Willow - have lived together in their quaint two-story bungalow in California for years. They keep to themselves, never venture far from home, and their collection of tinctures and spells is an unspoken bond between them.
But when seventeen-year-old Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, their quiet lives are thrown into disarray. For the other women have been withholding a secret from Nickie that will end her relationship before it's even begun: the decades-old family curse that any person they fall in love with dies.
Their surprise guest forces each woman to reckon with her own past choices and mistakes. And as new truths about the curse emerge, the family is set on a collision course dating back to a voodoo shop in 1950s New Orleans's French Quarter-where a hidden story in a mysterious book may just hold the answers they seek in life and in love...
Rich in its sense of character and place, Black Candle Women is a haunting and magical debut from a talented new storyteller.
How Minds Change
As the world is increasingly polarised, it feels impossible to change the mind of someone with a conflicting view. But this book shows that you could be one conversation away from changing someone's mind about something, maybe a lot of things.
Self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney sets out to discover not just what it takes to influence others, but why we believe in the first place. Along the way he meets a former Westboro Baptist Church member who was deradicalised on Twitter, goes deep canvassing to see how quickly people will surrender their character-defining views, finds a 9/11 Truther who turns his back on it all, and reveals how, within a few years, half a country can go from opposing the 'gay agenda' to happily attending same-sex weddings.
Distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, How Minds Change reveals how beliefs take hold, not over hundreds of years, but in less than a generation, in less than a decade, and sometimes in an instant.

Seed to Dust
'A wholly original, semi-autobiographical book on how to live, how to be calm and content with only a little, in a quietly humming garden' Daily Mail
Beautifully illustrated, Seed to Dust is a reflective and restorative account of a life lived in harmony with nature.
Marc Hamer has nurtured the same twelve acres of garden for decades. It's rarely visited so he is the only person who fully knows its secrets. But it's not his garden, and his relationship with its owner is at once distant and curiously intimate.
In Seed to Dust, Marc takes us month-by-month through his experiences both working in the garden and outside it. We encounter new plants and wildlife, gardening folklore and the joys of manual work; we learn, too, about Marc's path from homelessness to family contentment, and the cycles of change that run through both the garden's life and our own.
'An absorbing combination of memoir, gardening folklore and natural history' Country Life
The King: The Life of Charles III
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and longest-serving heir in British history.
Since the day Charles Philip Arthur George was born, he has been groomed to be King. After more than seventy years of waiting, he finally ascends the throne.
The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King-a man who has remained something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue-is really like.
The King is the first biography of Charles since he has become monarch and serves as an authoritative chronicle of his life.
Lacná kniha Tom Jones (-90%)
Tom Jones je skvělý humoristický román, příběh s napínavými zápletkami a širokým spektrem skvěle charakterizovaných postav, odvíjející se na pozadí skutečných historických událostí první poloviny osmnáctého století. Literární historici označují Toma Jonese za první anglický moderní román a miliony čtenářů mu v průběhu staletí vtiskly svým neutuchajícím zájmem punc nesmrtelnosti. Slavná literární díla nemívají jednoduché osudy. I Fieldingův román Tom Jones, když se roku 1749 objevil, vzbudil u některých čtenářů dojmy zcela jiného druhu, než autor zamýšlel. „Jsem otřesen, že citujete z tak zlolajné knihy. Nerad se dozvídám, že jste ji četla, k tomu by se slušná dáma neměla vůbec doznat,“ vytýkal proslulý spisovatel a arbitr dobového pojetí mravnosti Samuel Johnson jedné milovnici literárních novinek. A nebyl sám, koho dílo vyburcovalo k pozoruhodným dedukcím. Když pak na jaře Londýn podvakrát zasáhlo zemětřesení, vyjádřil se londýnský biskup v pastoračním listu, že je to trest Boží za če

100 years ago...
100 years ago... is a book about two people fighting through world wars, and eventually falling in love with each other. They go through psychological changes, for love, their motives change, one keeps on fighting for their homeland to guard and to finish war, while the other fights and travels to see them again, but the events change their whole psychee too. Their personality traits differ, thus when they go through different types of sadness and even depression, they show different results. The goal of this novel is not to achieve a happy ending, but to create the atmosphere, and ask life questioning philosophies, to show how different people act in both mutual and different situations, and how they can be there for each other, to be understanding, argue maturely, or even solve the problems they face, so the final goal is to teach readers to show how one can be a better person even if only minimally.

Discourse on the Method
The Discourse on the Method is a philosophical and mathematical treatise published by René Descartes in 1637. Its full name is Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Searching for Truth in the Sciences (French title: Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verité dans les sciences). The Discourse on Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation "Je pense, donc je suis" ("I think, therefore I am"), which occurs in Part IV of the work. (The similar statement in Latin, Cogito ergo sum, is found in §7 of Principles of Philosophy.) In addition, in one of its appendices, La Géométrie, is contained Descartes' first introduction of the Cartesian coordinate system.The Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern science. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism which had been revived from the ancients such as Sextus Empiricus by authors such as Al-Ghazali and Michel de Montaigne. Descartes modified it to account for a truth that he found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.The book was originally published in Leiden in French, together with his works "Dioptrique, Météores et Géométrie". Later, it was translated into Latin and published in 1656 in Amsterdam.Together with Meditations on First Philosophy (Meditationes de Prima Philosophia), Principles of Philosophy (Principia philosophiae) and Rules for the Direction of the Mind (Regulae ad directionem ingenii), it forms the base of the Epistemology known as Cartesianism.

The Art of Money Getting, or Golden Rules for Making Money
P. T. Barnum, the great American showman of the 19th century, wrote this short book about making and keeping money. He certainly had life experiences that qualify him for the subject--he started a small newspaper in his twenties, bought and transformed a museum into a showplace for curiosities, built a circus empire that gave performances in America and Europe, promoted a performing tour of a singer, fell into debt in the 1850s and pulled himself out by lecture tours, was a mayor, and founded a hospital.Excerpts:"Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. ... True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go.""Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling..."His advice is indicated by the chapter titles:DON'T MISTAKE YOUR VOCATION,SELECT THE RIGHT LOCATION,AVOID DEBT,PERSEVERE,WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,USE THE BEST TOOLS,DON'T GET ABOVE YOUR BUSINESS,LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL,LET HOPE PREDOMINATE, BUT BE NOT TOO VISIONARY,DO NOT SCATTER YOUR POWERS,BE SYSTEMATIC,READ THE NEWSPAPERS,BEWARE OF "OUTSIDE OPERATIONS",DON'T INDORSE WITHOUT SECURITY,ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS,"DON'T READ THE OTHER SIDE",BE POLITE AND KIND TO YOUR CUSTOMERS,BE CHARITABLE,DON'T BLAB,PRESERVE YOUR INTEGRITY.

Na základě psychologie flow a jungovské psychologie aktivní imaginace autor popisuje cesty ze zablokovanosti životodárné energie každého člověka.

Tenger és temető
?Egész nap kószált a tenger partján. Most már nem kért, nem imádkozott, nem gondolkozott. O már mindent odatett a Megváltó tenyerére, lássa o, mit csinál vele. Tegyen csodát, ha nem akarja a bunt. Csak néha hullott ki ajkai közül gépies ismétléssel: ? Péntek van, péntek van. Ma nagyon tavasz volt a tavasz. A nap sütött, a tenger nem mozdult. Csak kék volt és mosolygott. Mérhetetlen tükrét odatartotta Angelonak: ? Sok arcod van már bennem, jó fiú ? mondta a tenger. ? Bennem van kisfiú-arcod: felhotlen szemekkel, csodát nyitogató kis királyfi-arccal. Bennem van minden lelked, minden napod arca. Nézd meg jól magadat, Angelo, mert holnap más arcod lesz, és ezt soha sem kapod vissza. Aztán egyszer csak lebukott a nap. Belehullott a tengerbe s az kioltotta, mint ártó szenet. A sziklákon felmászott az éjszaka. Felmászott és sürgeton súgta: ? Siessetek emberek, paráználkodjatok, nyuvasszátok, raboljátok, öljétek egymást, gyorsan, gyorsan! Mert reggel öt órakor megint nap lesz, törvény, illem és kereszténység.?
