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.
Muse - Will Of The People (Cream) LP
Jedna z největších rockových kapel současné Anglie dosud celosvětově prodala přes 17 milionů desek. Zatím nejúspěšnější album vyšlo v roce 2012. Deska 2nd Law vystoupala na vrchol prodejních hitparád v 21 zemích světa, v Americe byla druhá, v Čechách byla nejvýše pátá.
Deváté studiové album slavné rockové kapely. Album vznikalo v Los Angeles a je ovlivněno rostoucí nejistotou a nestabilitou ve světě. „Pandemie, nové války v Evropě, masivní protesty a nepokoje, kolísání západní demokracie, rostoucí autoritářství, lesní požáry a další přírodní katastrofy nebo destabilizace globálního řádu, to všechno desku ovlivnilo,“ prozrazuje zpěvák Matt Bellamy. Podle něj prožíváme děsivé období, které muselo znepokojit každého. „Album je osobní navigací skrz tyto obavy a přípravou na to, co přijde,“ dodává. Nová kolekce, jejíž produkce se ujali samotní Muse, je velmi pestrá. Posluchači s emohou těšit na dystopický glam-rock, nostalgickou elektroniku i industriálně znějící pasáže. Album je k dispozici v několika formátech včetně vinylu.

Man meets Woman
Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn't sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes.
In this volume in her series for TASCHEN, leading graphic designer Yang Liu tackles one of the hottest, and one of the oldest, topics of all: he and she. Drawing on the experiences, challenges, and many perspectives on men and women she has encountered in her own life, Yang Liu distills the vast, swirling question of gender into bold, binary pictograms.
Dealing with a whole host of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom, Yang Liu's designs are as simple and accessible in their presentation as they are infinite in the associations, evocations, and responses they elicit. Combining age-old stereotypes with topical discrepancies, this fresh approach to the roles and relationships of men and women is, above all, an effort to synthesize a notoriously thorny issue into a fun and refreshing graphic form, and thus to lighten and enlighten our mutual understanding and tolerance.

Nothing Ever Just Disappears
At the turn of the century, in the shade of Cambridge's cloisters, a young E. M. Forster conceals his passion for other men, even as he daydreams about the sun-warmed bodies of ancient Greece. Under the dazzling lights of interwar Paris, Josephine Baker dances her way to fame and fortune and discovers sexual freedom backstage at the Folies Bergére. And on Jersey, in the darkest days of Nazi occupation, the transgressive surrealist Claude Cahun mounts an extraordinary resistance to save the island she loves, scattering hundreds of dissident artworks along its streets and shorelines.
Nothing Ever Just Disappears brings to life the stories of seven remarkable figures and illuminates the connections between where they lived, who they loved, and the art they created. It shows that a queer sense of place is central to the history of the twentieth century, and powerfully evokes how much is lost when queer spaces are forgotten. From the lesbian London of the suffragettes to James Baldwin's home in Provence, to Jack Smith's New York, Kevin Killian's San Francisco and the Dungeness cottage of Derek Jarman, this is a thrilling new history and a celebration of freedom, survival and the hidden places of the imagination.
Život bez hraníc
Ako by vyzeral váš život, keby všetko bolo možné?
Nick Vujicic sa narodil bez rúk a nôh, podarilo sa mu však prekonať svoje postihnutie a vedie nezávislý, bohatý, plnohodnotný a „šialene dobrý” život. Je vzorom pre každého, kto hľadá skutočné šťastie. Z Nicka sa stal medzinárodne uznávaný motivačný spíker a nadšene šíri svoje posolstvo: najdôležitejším cieľom každého človeka je nájsť zmysel života bez ohľadu na problémy alebo zdanlivo neprekonateľné prekážky, ktoré sa mu stavajú do cesty. Nick v tejto knihe rozpráva o svojom fyzickom postihnutí aj o vyčerpávajúcom emocionálnom boji, ktorý zvádzal v detstve, puberte aj v ranej dospelosti, keď sa usiloval vyrovnať so svojou odlišnosťou. „Nesmierne dlho a s pocitom absolútnej osamelosti som premýšľal, či na svete existuje niekto podobný mne a či má môj život aj nejaký iný zmysel než len bolesť a poníženie.“ Nick rozpráva, ako sa pre neho viera v Boha stala základným zdrojom sily a vysvetľuje, že akonáhle našiel zmysel života – inšpirovať druhých, aby zlepšili svoj život a svet okolo seba – našiel sebadôveru vybudovať si hodnotný a produktívny život bez hraníc. Motivuje nás a ukazuje nám, ako sa naučiť prijímať to, čo nedokážeme mať pod kontrolou a ako sa sústrediť na to, čo ovplyvniť môžeme. Inšpirujte sa jeho príbehom a žite svoj život bez obmedzení.
Obsahuje jedinečný osobný akčný plán, ktorý pomôže každému vytýčiť si cestu k úspešnému životu
NICK VUJICIC je motivačný rečník a riaditeľ neziskovej organizácie Life Without Limbs. Jeho domovom bola dlho Austrália, v súčasnosti však spolu s manželkou žije v južnej Kalifornii.
Silo
V silu pod zemí, zamořenou jedy, se ukrývají lidé: naučili se tu žít, milovat se i umírat. Jednou za čas je někdo z nich vyslán na povrch čistit senzory. Ví, že se nikdy nevrátí. Ví, že jde na smrt… Po letech udržování křehké rovnováhy se však systém octne před zhroucením. Hluboko ve spodních patrech, ovládaných lidmi z mechanického úseku, se vzedme vlna odporu proti takřka všemocnému IT oddělení. Mají naději na úspěch? Odkryjí děsivá tajemství přísně střežených serverů? A chtějí je vůbec znát? Silo je jedinečný postapokalyptický sci-fi thriller, který lze číst jako varování i jako věštbu. I proto se setkal s nebývalým celosvětovým čtenářským zájmem a ohlasem. Filmovou verzi se chystá natočit Ridley Scott (Vetřelec, Blade Runner, Gladiátor).

Dead Souls
Since its publication in 1842, Dead Souls has been celebrated as a supremely realistic portrait of provincial Russian life and as a splendidly exaggerated tale; as a paean to the Russian spirit and as a remorseless satire of imperial Russian venality, vulgarity, and pomp. As Gogol's wily antihero, Chichikov, combs the back country wheeling and dealing for "dead souls"--deceased serfs who still represent money to anyone sharp enough to trade in them--we are introduced to a Dickensian cast of peasants, landowners, and conniving petty officials, few of whom can resist the seductive illogic of Chichikov's proposition.

Heretics
Though he was on the whole a fun loving and gregarious man, during adolescence Chesterton was troubled by thoughts of suicide. In Christianity he found answers to many of the dilemmas and paradoxes of life. Throughout Heretics he provides a very personal critique of contemporary religious notions. His consistently engaging but often wayward humour is mixed liberally with daring flights of fancy and some startling turns of thought. A highly original collection of essays, providing an invaluable contribution to one of the major debates of the last century - one that continues to exercise leading thinkers in the present one.

Out of the Silence
All Alan Dundas wanted, when he started digging into the ancient clay river bed on his land, was a watering hole for his stock. In 1900s Australia, the land without a history, the last thing he expected to find was a dome of golden metal beneath his land. Or a series of traps barring his entrance, each deadlier than the last, which drove him in single-minded determination to get to the bottom of the mystery, heedless of what he might find, or what threats he might bring to life out of the silence of the past.

The Confessions
In his Confessions Jean-Jacques Rousseau tells the story of his life, from the formative experience of his humble childhood in Geneva, through the achievement of international fame as novelist and philosopher in Paris, to his wanderings as an exile, persecuted by governments and alienated from the world of modern civilization. In trying to explain who he was and how he came to be the object of others' admiration and abuse, Rousseau analyses with unique insight the relationship between an elusive but essential inner self and the variety of social identities he was led to adopt.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles
Young Tess Durbeyfield attempts to restore her family's fortunes by claiming their connection with the aristocratic d'Urbervilles. But Alec d'Urberville is a rich wastrel who seduces her and makes her life miserable. When Tess meets Angel Clare, she is offered true love and happiness, but her past catches up with her and she faces an agonizing moral choice.Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as "a pure woman," caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since. Hardy thought it his finest novel, and Tess the most deeply felt character he ever created.
