Beloved
A beautiful hardback edition of the Pulitzer-prize winning novel, from the great Toni Morrison.
Sethe is now miles away from Sweet Home - the farm where she was kept as a slave for many years. Unable to forget the unspeakable horrors that took place there, Sethe is haunted by the violent spectre of her dead child, the daughter who died nameless and whose tombstone is etched with a single word, 'Beloved'.
A tale of brutality, horror and, above all, love at any cost, Beloved is Toni Morrison's enduring masterpiece and best-known work.

Practice Soccer At Home
Are you looking to take your soccer game to the next level? That little extra could be in your home, backyard or in the off-season.
Whether it's an extremely harsh winter of an off-season, a pandemic caused by an extremely infectious pathogen or you just have too much of a break between games, your soccer game can stagnate. And then you start playing again, and it takes a few weeks to get back to the same level. And you are behind other players who were better prepared. Come the next game or next off-season, and the cycle repeats.
Or maybe you're a fantastic player who just needs that little bit of extra practice on certain skills at your home/backyard.
In either case, this book is your answer.
So many coaching books require complex equipment, copious resources and fantastic facilities. In writing Practice Soccer at Home, we are seeking to offer a guide for those times when we train alone, in our back yard, with little more than a ball and our immediate environment. Undertaking this additional work is important whether we are professionals seeking to perfect our technique at the highest level (why else would top professionals build home gyms into their luxurious houses?) or, more relevantly for this book, keen amateurs or youth players looking to develop our own game.
With jobs to hold down, school to attend and such like, it is unlikely that, in the best of times, we will get more than two formal training sessions per week, plus a match at the weekend. Realistically, it is likely to be just one session. In order to maximise our potential, we must do some work on our skills and endurance alone. The most practical place for many of us is to undertake this training at home. Why get in the car to drive to the gym or park if we have a back yard we could use instead? The answer is, of course, what to do in the back yard, and what to do it with! This book provides some answers to those questions.
Here's What's Included In This Book:
Training Equipment that You Might Need (with free substitute equipment)
Drills for individuals, pairs and small groups to try in their backyard
Some solo, paired and small group games to make training fun,
Exercises that can be undertaken at home and in the backyard to improve fitness and flexibility
Some mental health guidance
Outlines of key techniques for reference
Key skills on which the drills work
More than thirty diagrams to help with understanding the more complex drills
Even if you're in the middle of a busy soccer season with not much free time, you'll still gain a lot from this book.

Azt hitte, soha nem fog tudni szeretni. De aztán találkozott vele…
Amikor Sage megérkezik Nevadába a Melview-i Egyetem elsőéves hallgatójaként, semmije sincs: se pénze, se lakása, se barátai. De az elszántsága nem ismer határokat. Új életet akar kezdeni, és minden erejével azon van, hogy elfeledje, ami odahaza, Maine-ben történt vele. Csakhogy ez egyáltalán nem könnyű, ha az ember lányát lépten-nyomon emlékek kísértik, és minduntalan rátör a félelem. Mint például az első munkanapján az egyetemi könyvtárban, amikor meglátja Lucast. A fiú szürke szeme és a tetoválásai pontosan azt idézik fel, amitől Sage a legjobban retteg. Csakhogy Luca egyáltalán nem olyan, amilyennek első pillanatra látszik, és amikor Sage-nek sikerül a külső mögé is bepillantani, a szíve egyre hevesebben kezd verni...

The King James Version of the Bible
The King James Version (KJV), also known as the King James Bible (KJB) or simply the Authorized Version (AV), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, was commissioned in 1603 and completed as well as published in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI and I. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Version has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world. It was first printed by John Norton & Robert Barker, both the King's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities: The first had been the Great Bible, commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII (1535), and the second had been the Bishops' Bible, commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1568). In Geneva, Switzerland the first generation of Protestant Reformers had produced the Geneva Bible of 1560 from the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures, which was influential in the writing of the Authorized King James Version. In January 1604, King James convened the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, a faction of the Church of England. James gave the translators instructions intended to ensure that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of, and reflect the episcopal structure of, the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 6 panels of translators (47 men in all, most of whom were leading biblical scholars in England) who had the work divided up between them: the Old Testament was entrusted to three panels, the New Testament to two, and the Apocrypha to one. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale's Great Bible version), and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and English Protestant churches, except for the Psalms and some short passages in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English-speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford, and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualified title "King James Version" usually indicates this Oxford standard text.

Punisher Max: Svět sovětů
A co na nás čekalo tam, to by trumflo i ďábla...
Někdo si palbou z AK-47 probíjí cestu ruskou mafií v New Yorku. A ten někdo není Punisher.
Když Frank Castle začne zabijáka hledat, najde podivného človíčka s milým úsměvem a touhou po pomstě, která se vyrovná té jeho. Valeriji Stěpanoviči zabralo desítky let a tisíce kilometrů, než se dostal blíž k tomu, kdo zradil jej a jeho kamarády. Z afghánských hor se přes podsvětí rozkládajícího se Ruska dostal až sem, do newyorských ulic. Ale nežene ho jen tuctová ublíženost. To, co se stalo páté rotě gardové výsadkové divize v kopcích jižně od Kábulu, je nepopsatelná noční můra, spíš obludná exploze krutosti než běžný příběh z války. Teď je čeká práce. Čekají na ně lidé, které nelze nechat naživu. Ale Rusovo vyprávění probudí ve Frankově srdci nějaký dávný hněv – a on zjistí, že takhle blízko k vlastním mezím se ještě nedostal. A že je zralý na rozhodnutí, které už nikdy nevezme zpátky.
PUNISHER: SVĚT SOVĚTŮ napsal Jason Aaron (Wolverine, Skalpy) a nakreslil Jacen Burrows (Neonomicon, Providence) a obsahuje příběhy č. 1–6.

A tizenhét éves Sunny kapcsolata elég furcsán ér véget: kap egy képet a mobiljára, amin a barátja egy másik lánnyal csókolózik. Más ilyenkor talán összeomlana, de Sunny más megoldást választ. Ami ezután következik, az egy tizenkét órás őrült hajsza robogóval London körül, ami este 8-kor indul a Crystal Palace-nél (olyan messze a civilizációtól, hogy még a metró sem jár arra), át Camdenen, Shoreditch-en, a Sohón, Kensigtonon, Notting Hillen... és reggel 8-kor ér véget az Alexandra-palotánál.
Big Ideas from Literature
This third book in the best-selling Big Ideas series introduces readers to the classics, as well as modern children’s fiction—a charming addition to Big Ideas for Curious Minds and Big Ideas from History
Great stories are often universal: our very souls shine with new ideas when we read them. Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven’t learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives. Books can be a friend when you need one the most and you can use them to help and inspire others, too.
Big Ideas from Literature helps the child discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell – and helps the growing child develop empathy and resilience.
This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children. The best children’s books become our dearest friends and companions.
Children discover characters from a diverse range of books – including J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Young Dark Emu: A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe – and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.
