Pride and Prejudice
Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Giger
"At its essence, Giger's art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb." -Ridley Scott
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.
Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger's unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger's life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist's museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist's oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger's own statements.
Lost Chronicle
Polarbear is one of the most influential poets of his generation. The work collected here is the work that made his name. These poems have racked up hundreds of thousands of views online, lodging themselves in the hearts and minds of readers and audiences alike. His particular gift is for the many kinds of music a line can contain. He marries the intricate, compulsive, rhyming strategies of rap with the schanachie's gift for telling a story and the saxophonist's flair for bending the possibilities of sound.
Dishonored 3 - Hrůza za závojem
BILLII LURCHOVÉ SE PODAŘILO NĚCO NEMOŽNÉHO:
OUTSIDER PADL.
NYNÍ JE VŠAK PRÁZDNOTA NEVYROVNANÁ A V SÁZCE JE OSUD SVĚTA.
Od Tyvie po Serkonos se v textuře skutečnosti objevily záhadné trhliny – portály do Prázdnoty s potenciálem roztrhat svět na kusy.
Billie se při pátrání po zdroji této nestability ocitá daleko od Dunwallu, ve městě trhlinou rozpolceném vedví, a v království, jež se vzpamatovává z občanské války a vládne v něm neklidné příměří.
Jakožto bývalá nájemná vražedkyně, pašeračka a lovkyně lidí má Billie pořádně tuhý kořínek, a je tou jedinou, kdo dokáže věci dát do pořádku – na to však musí konfrontovat vlastní minulost, a výsledky jejích akcí mohou změnit svět.

That Festive Feeling
olly has the place to herself this Christmas. It’s not her place, though – she is house-sitting for friends who live on Nightingale Square – just there to keep the place warm and cosy and only for long enough for her to sort her life out. Newly single and finding herself unsure about next steps for her career, she plans to hunker down and make some life decisions.
To clear her mind, she sets off on early morning walks around a nearby lake and bumps into May, an older lady who is also new to the area, and her dapper Dachshund Monty. Quickly, a firm friendship blossoms. Then when Holly meets Bear, a rather large and rather attractive man, at the local pub, and his rescue dog Queenie, her stay at Nightingale Square suddenly feels even more appealing.
As the community comes together for the season’s festivities, Holly must start thinking about where her life will take her next. Some big decisions need to be made, but distractions close to home make thinking about the future more tricky than ever…
Will she get that festive feeling this Christmas…?
A sakál - Fekete tőr testvériség - Fogolytábor
Te meddig mennél el azért, akit szeretsz? Amikor Nyx egy véletlen balesetnek köszönhetően felfedezi az elit hírhedt börtönének bejáratát, ahová ötven évvel korábban bezárták a húgát, habozás nélkül betör a földalatti, titkos, labirintusszerű barlangrendszerbe. Ám a húga helyett egy férfira bukkan, aki miatt megváltozik az élete... örökre. A Sakál már több mint száz éve raboskodik a börtönben, ahová egy olyan bűn miatt került, amit nem ő követett el. Azonban nem a szabadság és a friss levegő hiánya kínozza leginkább; évtizedek óta a kiszolgáltatottság olyan fokát éli át, amit korábban még rémálmaiban sem tudott volna elképzelni.Az óriási sikerű Fekete Tőr Testvériség sorozat történetét tovább szövő Fekete Tőr Testvériség - Fogolytábor sorozat első kötete kalandokkal és szenvedélyekkel teli olvasmány, amelyben a szeretet és az összetartás végül minden akadályt legyőz. A regény önmagában is élvezhető, lezárt történet.

The Eternal Ones
The unmissable finale to New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series THE GILDED ONES, set in an ancient West African-inspired world and perfect for fans of CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE and BLACK PANTHER.
Deka is a goddess-in-waiting with the potential to save her people from the brutal ancient goddesses who terrorize her kingdom of Otera. But first she must find the source of her divine power - and if the Gilded Ones find it before she does, they will drain her power and tear Otera apart.
Alongside her army of friends, Deka faces the hardest battle of her life - not just with the goddesses but with her own doubts. What if becoming a goddess makes her as evil as the Gilded Ones? And is she ready to leave her earthly life and loves behind?
THE ETERNAL ONES is the final thrilling instalment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.
Slow Rise
Over the course of a year, Robert Penn learns how to plant, harvest, thresh and mill his own wheat, in order to bake bread for his family. In returning to this pre-industrial practice, he tells the fascinating story of our relationship with bread: from the domestication of wheat in the Fertile Crescent at the dawn of civilization, to the rise of mass-produced loaves and the resurgence in homebaking today.
Gathering knowledge and wisdom from experts around the world - farmers on the banks of the Nile, harvesters in the American Midwest and Parisian boulangers - Penn reconnects the joy of making and eating bread with a deep appreciation for the skill and patience required to cultivate its key ingredient. This book is a celebration of the millennia-old craft of breadmaking, and how it is woven into the story of humanity.
Posledná krava
Teória starej a novej kravy je nezvyčajnou terapiou pre zlomené srdce milujúcej ženy, ktorá dobre vie, že posledná krava býva na každom konci smutnej a poľutovaniahodnej pravdy, že muži opúšťajú ženy.
"Keby sa ma pred rokom niekto spýtal, prečo muži
opúšťajú ženy, vyhlásila by som: Nová krava. Nová krava je skratka teórie novej kravy, čo je skratka teórie starej a novej kravy, čo je, prirodzene, skratka smutnej a poľutovaniahodnej pravdy, že muži opúšťajú ženy, lebo jediné, po čom naozaj túžia,
je nová krava."
Úvod je jednoducho o stretnutí kravy s býkom. Ona, Jane Goodallová alebo produkčná obľúbenej televíznej talk show, čo používa toto meno, je tou, ktorá prichádza so srdcom na dlani. On je Ray Brown, mladý vedúci produkcie zo susedného
pracoviska, príťažlivým výzorom nie nepodobný manekýnom od J. Crewa. Zoznámia sa pri poháriku, je z toho veľká láska a hľadajú si spoločné hniezdočko. Ibaže, už v treťom mesiaci milostného vzťahu nastáva nevysvetliteľný obrat. Ray vlastne neodchádza,
iba sa postupne stráca. Od neopätovaných telefonátov je len krôčik k neopätovanej láske...
Jane nemá kam ísť, ba nemá ani strechu nad hlavou, takže jej azda ani nezostáva iné ako prijať ponuku vystatovačného a sukničkárskeho kolegu Eddieho Aldena, a
by sa k nemu nasťahovala. V nezvyčajnej spoločnosti a bizarnom prostredí volí zvláštnu terapiu, ktorá má zahojiť jej zlomené srdce: Číta si Darwinovu prácu O pôvode druhov a zároveň na podklade vlastných spomienok na Raya, nešťastného milostného vzťa
hu svojich najlepších priateľov Joan a Davida, ako aj zo sledovania Eddieho, vytvára vlastnú teóriu o sexuálnom správaní mužského zvieraťa. Výsledky publikuje pod pseudonymom a stáva sa úspešnou spisovateľkou. Prostredníctvom vtipnej a sarkastickej
knižky Laury Zigmanovej sa s nimi môže zoznámiť aj slovenská čitateľská obec.
Laura Zigmanová pochádza z Newtonu v štáte Massachusetts, absolvovala University of Massachusetts. Desať rokov strávila v New York City ako vydavateľská pracovníčka. Posl

Botrányos házasság
A The New York Times-bestsellerszerző, Lorraine Heath Sins for All Seasons sorozatának legújabb kötete.
A lány egy nemesembert keres, akihez hozzámehet...
Noha Fancy Trewlove házasságon kívül született, szentül elhatározta, hogy teljesíti az anyja kívánságát, és beházasodik az arisztokráciába. Éles elméje és kifogástalan neveltetése okán tökéletes felesége lehetne bármelyik főúrnak – amennyiben az hajlandó szemet hunyni botrányos származása felett. Fancy tervei azonban veszélybe kerülnek, amikor a boltjában rendszeresen felbukkan egy jóképű közember – aki aztán minden gondolatát lefoglalja.
A férfi szabadulna a rangjával járó kötöttségektől...
A mindössze egy évvel korábban megözvegyült, visszavonultan élő Matthew Somersbyt, Rosemont grófját ostromolják a nők, akik feleségül szeretnének menni hozzá. A férfi névtelenségre vágyik, és otthagyja a társasági életet, hogy megtalálja a békét, amely régóta elkerüli. Fancy boltja az egyetlen menedéke, amíg egy éjszaka szenvedélyes csókban forrnak össze, ami kis híján tönkreteszi a lányt – és mindkettőjükben vágyat ébreszt a folytatásra.
Ketten együtt rátalálnak egy varázslatos szerelemre...
Miközben Fancy a családja elvárásai és a Matthew iránt érzett vonzalma között őrlődik, titkokra derül fény – titkokra, amelyek arra kényszerítik a lányt, hogy megkérdőjelezze a szíve választását...

Bowie David - Pin Ups (Half Speed Mastering) LP
David Robert Jones (8. januára 1947 – 10. januára 2016), profesionálne známy ako David Bowie bol anglický spevák, skladateľ a herec. Popredná osobnosť v hudobnom priemysle je považovaný za jedného z najvplyvnejších hudobníkov 20. storočia. Bowie bol uznávaný kritikmi a hudobníkmi, najmä pre jeho inovatívnu prácu v 70. rokoch. Jeho kariéra bola poznačená reinvenciou a vizuálnou prezentáciou a jeho hudba a scénické umenie mali významný vplyv na populárnu hudbu.
Pin Ups je siedmy štúdiový album vydaný 19. októbra 1973 prostredníctvom RCA Records. Vymyslený ako „stop-gap“ album na upokojenie jeho nahrávacej spoločnosti, je to cover album, ktorý obsahuje glam rockové a proto-punkové verzie piesní britských kapiel zo 60. rokov, ktoré ovplyvnili Bowieho ako teenagera, vrátane Pretty Things. , Who, the Yardbirds a Pink Floyd.Album sa nahrával od júla do augusta 1973 v Château d'Hérouville v Hérouville vo Francúzsku po dokončení turné Ziggy Stardust Tour. Bol to Bowieho posledný album v koprodukcii s Kenom Scottom. Prispeli dvaja členovia sprievodnej skupiny Spiders from Mars, gitarista Mick Ronson a basgitarista Trevor Bolder, zatiaľ čo Micka Woodmanseyho nahradil Aynsley Dunbar za bicími. Po prekvapivom oznámení na konci turné, že sa Spiders rozchádzajú, bolo počas stretnutí vysoké napätie, čo sa odrazilo aj na skladbách. Obal albumu s Bowiem a supermodelkou Twiggy zo 60. rokov bol nasnímaný v Paríži a pôvodne určený pre časopis Vogue.

A hilarious antidote to our Insta-perfect world, for girls who want to do it right but always feel they're getting it wrong ...

And with best friends Millie and Sam both going through difficult times, Kat wants to be there for them.
But there's a class trip to France to look forward to, and a reunion with Kat's former fling and TOTAL DREAMBOAT Sebastien. This is exactly what they all need ... until Kat's plans begin to unravel.
If Kat is doing her best, why does she always feel as if she must do better?
Fearlessly navigating school, mental health and relationships, Kate Weston is a hilarious new voice for those who love Holly Bourne and Netflix's Sex Education.
Trees
A landmark publication that captures the beautiful richness of every aspect of trees and their importance for science, culture and the future of humankind.
Trees feed us, shelter us, inspire us and heal us. In a world facing the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and a pressing climate emergency, the importance of these primeval beings in shaping our future is hard to understate.
Generously illustrated and organized according to tree lifecycle - from seeds, leaves and form to wood, flowers and fruit - this book celebrates the great diversity and beauty of the 60,000 tree species that inhabit our planet. Exquisite details are rendered by surprising photography and infographics: intricate bark and leaf patterns, intertwined ecosystems, colourful flower displays, archaic wooden wheels and timber houses. Integral to science, art and culture, fundamental and fragile, dependent and depended on, the vitality of trees is revealed like never before.
