The Revels
The stage is set and the witch-hunt is about to begin...
'I am no witch. I have not sold my soul to the devil for powers. What I am has never openly been whispered of, yet it is enough that people would hang for it.'
England, 1645.
After his half-brother dies, aspiring playwright Nicholas Pearce is apprenticed to Judge William Percival, an infamous former witch-hunter who is under pressure to resume his old profession. In a country torn apart by civil war, with escalating tensions between Catholics and Protestants, Royalists and Roundheads, and rumours of witchcraft, Nicholas hides a secret: the dead sing. He hears their secrets, but will he find the courage to speak up to save innocent lives, even if it means putting himself in great danger?
A spellbinding debut novel perfect for fans of Stacey Halls, Laura Purcell and Bridget Collins.

Lacná kniha Sum Of Our Days (-90%)
A brilliant memoir from the celebrated Chilean novelist on friends, family and life in California, her adopted home. Isabel Allende has sold more than 50 million copies of her books worldwide. The most beloved and successful of her books, 'The House of the Spirits', was based on her Chilean childhood, and her autobiographical works include the deeply moving 'Paula' -- a family history written at the bedside of her daughter while she lay in a coma -- and the fascinating 'My Invented Country', which explored the events of her native Chile where she lived until Pinochet's military coup. Now, in 'The Sum of the Days', we have Isabel describe in an exceptionally vivid, human and deeply personal way her life in California where she has lived for more than 25 years. The first page picks up from where Paula ends -- her daughter never did wake up from her coma and died in 1992 -- when Allende recounts spreading Paula's ashes in her favourite part of the woods by their home. It is fair to say that Isabel has never recovered from losing her daughter but has managed to survive by keeping her husband, son, grandchildren as well as close friends -- kindred spirits -- central to her life.' The Sum of the Days', based on Allende's own journals and daily correspondence with her mother in Chile, reveals the author to be a dazzling, generous, warm and hysterically funny matriarch within her swirl of family and friends.

Lacná kniha The Infinities
One long, languid midsummer’s day, the Godleys gather at the family home of Arden to attend their father’s bedside. Adam, the elder child, and Petra, only nineteen, find that relations with their mother, Ursula, and their dying father, old Adam, are as strained as ever. Adam’s relationship with his wife, Helen, seems too on the brink of collapse and Petra, fragile and deeply troubled, finds deepest relief in her own pain. The gods, those mischievous spirits, watch silently, flitting through this dark ménage. Unable to resist intervening in the mortals’ lives, they spy, tease and seduce, all the while looking upon the antics of their playthings with a mixture of mild bafflement and occasional envy. Old Adam – husband, father and esteemed mathematician – has made his name grappling with the concept of the infinite. His own time on earth seems to be running out, and his mind runs to disquieting memories. Little does he realize, as he lies mute but alert in the Sky room, that the gods are capable of interposing themselves in the action, and even changing time itself when it pleases them. Overflowing with a bawdy humour, and a deep and refreshing clarity of insight, The Infinities is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a delicately poised, infinitely wise look at the terrible and wonderful plight of being human. In electrifying prose, Banville captures the aching intensity, the magic and enchantment, of a single midsummer’s day in Arden.

Bob Dylan - Dal, szöveg, póz
Ki ő?
A Bob Dylan név - tudjuk - fikció. És most akkor tehát, ha tetszik: lírai én. Egy szerep neve, mint az, hogy Psyché.
Vagy csak rocklegenda? Az a történet a Woody Guthrie harcos örökségét folytatni hivatott mitomán folkénekes-csodagyerekről szól, aki galádul hátat fordít a balos New York-i underground-szcénának a Ginsberg?Warhol-tengely, azaz egy líraian anarchoszürrealista rock and roll-verzió kedvéért; a próféták ellen prófétáló szupersztárról, aki egy gyanús motorbalesetben a nyakát törve, már ebből a zajos világból, az általa is kreált hatvanas évekből vonul ki három évvel a woodstocki fesztivál előtt; a hatgyerekes családapáról, aki vidéki magányából előbb ószövetségien misztikus feladványokat, majd kedélyes countrydalokat üzen megzavarodott híveinek; az űzött celebről, a vándorcirkusszal turnézó fehér bohócról; a buzgó keresztényről, aki megtérése után két évig csak Jézus-dalokkal koncertezik; a közönségének hátat fordítva dünnyögő öreg legényről; erről a kétszer egyformán soha semmit elő nem adó, az énekhangját is pár évente megváltoztató, mindig bosszantó és mindig lenyűgöző zseniről - akinek ugyanakkor persze és mégiscsak és elsősorban köszönhető, hogy a világlíra is új életekre kelhetett a rock and rollban.
Úgy ötven éve, a Bringing It All Back Home vagy a Blonde On Blonde idején, amikor épp "a rock Rimbaud-ját" kezdték látni benne, ő csak nevetett: I?m just a song and dance man, mondta. A Nobel-bejelentés utáni estén koncertje volt épp Las Vegasban a zenekarával. Nem táncolt persze, hogyan is táncolt volna, csak énekelt. A Nobel-izéről semmit se szólt, egy árva szót sem. Lesütött szemmel a mikrofonra hajolva fújta - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum! -, pici öregember, fehér kalapos kis fickó, korunk hőse, századunk költője. Hallom és látom, ahogy két strófa közt sután a kulisszák felé fordul, majd leakasztja a nyakából a gitárt, és valami billentyűket nyomogatva dalolja és dünnyögi tovább, hogy nem.
Harminc éve írtam ezt a könyvet. És harminc év alatt nemcsak öregszik, hanem okosodik is az ember. Én például nem csupán könyvem hősének három további évtizedéről tudhattam meg ezt-azt (plusz dylanológia, plusz recepció, plusz a világkultúra alakulása, el egészen az irodalmi Nobel-díjig), hanem a messzi múltjáról is annyit, amennyiből minimum egy újabb könyvet lehetne most írnom. Sőt kellene, ha vén fejjel úgy vélném, hogy egy komoly könyvnek (amilyenből azóta rengeteget megírtak már) Bob Dylan csakis a tárgya lehet, a hőse nem. De nem vélem úgy. Ráadásul az sem biztos, hogy komoly könyv ez; az 1986-os kiadás alcíme éppenséggel nagyon is komolytalan célzattal nevezte - urambocsá! - regénynek. Nézze hát el az olvasó, hogy úgy döntöttem: apróságokat, némi lábjegyzetelést és egy zárófejezetet leszámítva, inkább nem is nyúlok a régi szöveghez.

Dog Man 3: A Tale of Two Kitties
Howl with laughter with the THIRD book in the hilarious full-colour, illustrated series, Dog Man, from the creator of Captain Underpants!
He was the best of dogs... He was the worst of dogs... It was the age of invention... It was the season of surprise... It was the eve of supa sadness... It was the dawn of hope... Dog Man hasn't always been a paws-itive addition to the police force. While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a slick of slobber in his wake!
This time, Petey the cat's dragged in a tiny bit of trouble - a double in the form of a super-cute kitten. Dog Man will have to work twice as hard to bust these furballs and remain top dog! Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including:
empathy,
kindness,
persistence,
and the importance of being true to one's self.

Lacná kniha Milosrdenství (-90%)
Nejnovější román Toni Morrisonové v mnohém připomíná její nejlepší a nejvíc oceňovanou knihu Milovanou. Shodné je nejen téma otroctví, ale i způsob, jakým ho prozaička zpracovává. Příběhy jednotlivých postav, jež jsou stejně jako v Milované zejména
ženské, vypráví s neobyčejnou intenzitou, která čtenáře hluboce zasáhne. Děj románu zasadila spisovatelka do doby, kdy Američané práci otroků teprve začínali využívat. Skutečné břímě dějin i pohnuté osobní historie na svých bedrech nese úvodní a klí

The End of the World Is Just the Beginning
2019 was the last great year for the world economy.
For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it.
America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going.
Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. Complex, innovative industries were created to satisfy American consumers. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe.
All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending.
In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging.
The list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world - from how we manufacture products, to how we grow food, to how we keep the lights on, to how we shuttle stuff about, to how we pay for it all - is about to change.
A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with foresight, wit, and his trademark irreverence.
Fortitude
Resilience is the buzzword of the moment. We're told that if we have it, our lives will be happy and successful ones. If we don't, we need to acquire it.
But what if the version of resilience we've been peddled is a myth?
Here, Sunday Times bestselling author Bruce Daisley demolishes a concept that has spawned a multi-million pound resilience industry of books, workshops and courses, exposing the highly questionable science it rests on. In its place he outlines a very different approach to good mental health that embraces the latest science and research. Offering empirically tested advice, Fortitude sets out a practical path to greater self-confidence and courage for us all.

Vůně toskánské lilie
Italská Florencie je dnes synonymem pokladnice uměleckých památek. V minulosti však měla rozhodující vliv i na politický život rozdrobené Itálie. Mimořádného věhlasu dosáhla ve 13. - 16. století. Z tohoto období prosperity vzešel i hospodářský a kulturní význam města. Vládnoucí rodina Medici přizvala k budování renesanční Florencie celou řadu významných malířů, sochařů a architektů, kteří vtiskly tomuto toskánskému městu na řece Arno unikátní atmosféru.

Noma 2.0
There's a reason Noma sits atop the list of the world's best restaurants. Every bite, every dish, every course surprises, delights, challenges, and deeply satisfies in a way that's unique in the world of dining. As the New York Times's Pete Wells wrote recently in praising Noma's flavors, "sauces are administered so subtly that you don't notice anything weird going on; you just think you've never tasted anything so extraordinary in your life." In Noma 2.0, Rene Redzepi digs deep into the restaurant's magic through the creation of nearly 200 dishes, each photographed in spectacular beauty and detail. Noma 2.0--the title is a reference to the reinvention of Noma after it closed in 2018 to move to its new compound across the water--is about true seasonality, from wild game in the fall to just-picked peas in the summer. It is about using only local ingredients, to build a cuisine that is profoundly situated in its place and culture. It is about transforming the ordinary--a mushroom, a chicken wing, often through fermentation--to develop haunting, memorable flavors. It is about composing a plate that delights the eye as much as the palate, whether through the trompe l'oeil of a "flowerpot" chocolate cake or a dazzling mandala of flowers and berries. It is about pushing the boundaries of what we think we want to eat--a baby pinecone, a pudding made of reindeer brain--to open our palates with a startling confidence. And it is about how to stay creative and challenge yourself over the course of a career.
For foodies, for chefs, for artists and art lovers, for thought-leaders and makers, and for the kind of reader who is compelled by the idea that sometimes one person can change everything, Noma 2.0 is the gift book of the season.
Honeybees and Distant Thunder
The Night Circus meets Lonely Castle in the Mirror in this multi-awardwinning Japanese bestseller, available finally in an English translation by Philip Gabriel, a translator of Murakami
Welcome to a magical world of music, friendship and rivalry ...
In a small coastal town just a stone's throw from Tokyo, a prestigious piano competition is underway. Over the course of two feverish weeks, three friends will experience some of the most joyous - and painful - moments of their lives. Though they don't know it yet, each will profoundly and unpredictably change the others, for ever.
Aya was a piano genius, until she ran away from the stage and vanished; will the tall and talented Makun bring her back? Or will it be child of nature, Jin, a pianist without a piano, who carries the sound of his father's bees wherever he goes? Each of them will break the rules, awe their fans and push themselves to the brink. But at what cost?
Tender, cruel, compelling, HONEYBEES AND DISTANT THUNDER is the unflinching story of love, courage and rivalry. Most of all, it shows how three young people reconcile with the highs and lows of what it means to truly be a friend.

The Last Adventure of Constance Verity
Soon to be a major motion picture starring actress/comedian Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians; The Farewell) as Constance Verity: the girl who's been saving the world since she was seven.
It all began at Constance Verity's seventh birthday party, when she defeated a giant snake - but really, it was the fault of the magic wish granted to her at her birth. She's now a master of exotic martial arts and a keen detective, and she possesses a collection of strange artefacts, mostly kept in unlabelled boxes in her apartment.
But Constance has spent the past twenty-seven years saving the world, and frankly, she's sick of it. She wants an office job and a normal boyfriend - one who isn't going to get killed by who knows what - and she's figured out the way to get them. She's going to kill her fairy godmother. After all, it was Grandmother Willow who granted the wish and reset her life. The problem is, saving the world is Constance's destiny. She's really good at it, and there are forces at work to make sure she stays in the job.
Then again, it's also her destiny to have a glorious death.
