Lacná kniha André Gide: A Life in the Present
One of the most important writers of the twentieth century, Andre Gide also led what was probably one of the most interesting lives our century has seen. Gide knew and corresponded with many of the major literary figures of his day, from Mallarme to Oscar Wilde. Though a Communist, his critical account of Soviet Russia in "Return from the USSR" earned him the enmity of the Left. A lifelong advocate of moral and political freedom and justice, he was a proscribed writer on the Vatican's infamous "Index." Self-published most of his life, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947, at the age of 77. An avowed homosexual, he nonetheless married his cousin, and though their marriage was unconsummated, at 53 he fathered a daughter for a friend. Alan Sheridan's book is a literary biography of Gide, an intimate portrait of the reluctantly public man, whose work was deeply and inextricably entangled with his life. Gide's life provides a unique perspective on our century, an idea of what it was like for one person to live through unprecedented technological change, economic growth and collapse, the rise of socialism and fascism, two world wars, a new concern for the colonial peoples and for women, and the astonishing hold of Rome and Moscow over intellectuals. Following Gide from his first forays among the Symbolists through his sexual and political awakenings to his worldwide fame as a writer, sage, and commentator on his age, Sheridan richly conveys the drama of a remarkable life; the depth, breadth, and vitality of an incomparable oeuvre; and the spirit of a time that both so aptly expressed.

The Seventh Cross
A rediscovered German classic novel from 1942, The Seventh Cross is both a gripping escape story and a powerful novel of resistance.
'At once a suspenseful manhunt story and a knowing portrait of the perils of ordinary life in Hitler's Germany, The Seventh Cross is not only an important novel, but an important historical document. This new, unabridged translation is a genuine publishing event' JOSEPH KANON, author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin
'It was [Seghers] who taught my generation and anyone who had an ear to listen after that not-to-be-forgotten war to distinguish right from wrong. The Seventh Cross shaped me; it sharpened my vision' Gunter Grass
'A masterpiece. Written in the midst of terror, but with such clarity, such acuity; Seghers is a writer of rare insight' Rachel Seiffert, author of A Boy in Winter
Seven prisoners escape from Westhofen concentration camp. Seven crosses are erected in the grounds and the commandant vows to capture the fugitives within a week. Six men are caught quickly, but George Heisler slips through his pursuers' fingers and it becomes a matter of pride to track him down, at whatever cost.
Who can George trust? Who will betray him? The years of fear have changed those he knew best: his brother is now an SS officer; his lover turns him away. Hunted, injured and desperate, time is running out for George, and whoever is caught aiding his escape will pay with their life.
The Seventh Cross powerfully documents the insidious rise of a fascist regime - the seething paranoia, the sudden arrests, the silence and fear.

Pixies - Beneath The Eyrie CD
KDO: Pixies vznikli na počátku roku 1986. Svou kombinací ostrých kytarových riffů, s popově melodickou chytlavostí, prolínajícími se mužsko-ženskými harmoniemi, se stali jednou z nevlivnějších alternativně rockových kapel konce 80. a první poloviny 90. let. V těžko proniknutelných textech se pod povrchem zabývali vesmírem, náboženstvími, sexem i popkulturou. Jejich přímé, dynamické, krátké skladby jsou jedním ze základních stavebních kamenů nezávislého roku konce minulého tisíciletí.
CO: Své sedmé studiové album vydá kapela v září 2019 a podpoří jej i koncertním vystoupením na začátku října v pražské Lucerně.

Pohádky bratří Grimmů - Fairy Tales by The Brothers Grimm
Učte se angličtimu čtením pohádek! Bratři Jacob (1785 – 1863) a Wilhelm (1786 – 1859) Grimmové byli němečtí lingvisté, literární badatelé a sběratelé lidových vyprávění a pohádek. Těch shromáždili na dvě stě, a přestože se mnohdy jedná o příběhy kruté a morbidní, vyrostly na nich děti v mnoha zemích světa včetně českých čtenářů. Kdo by neznal Popelku, Jeníčka a Mařenku, Sněhurku, Šípkovou Růženku nebo Červenou karkulku. Hodně příběhů si bratři Grimmové nechali vyprávět od své známé, paní Hassenpflugové, která měla francouzské kořeny a využívala jako zdroj francouzského pohádkáře Charlese Perraulta (1628 – 1703). Mnohé pohádky se dočkaly i filmových zpracování, ať už ve studiu Walta Disneyho či jinde. Vy máte před sebou anglické verze pohádek bratří Grimmů, jak je v 19. století přeložili britští spisovatelé Lucy Craneová, Edgar Taylor a Marian Edwardesová. Můžete si jejich čtením procvičit porozumění anglickému textu. K tomu vám pomůže zrcadlový český překlad. V knize kromě známých i méně známých pohádek naleznete přehled základní anglické gramatiky a komentáře k vybraným jazykovým jevům.

Blueprint - How DNA Makes Us Who We Are
'Mind-blowing ... It is a hugely important book ... His story is crucial' Matt Ridley, The Times
One of the world's top behavioural geneticists argues that we need a radical rethink about what makes us who we are
The blueprint for our individuality lies in the 1% of DNA that differs between people. Our intellectual capacity, our introversion or extraversion, our vulnerability to mental illness, even whether we are a morning person - all of these aspects of our personality are profoundly shaped by our inherited DNA differences.
In Blueprint, Robert Plomin, a pioneer in the field of behavioural genetics, draws on a lifetime's worth of research to make the case that DNA is the most important factor shaping who we are. Our families, schools and the environment around us are important, but they are not as influential as our genes. This is why, he argues, teachers and parents should accept children for who they are, rather than trying to mould them in certain directions. Even the environments we choose and the signal events that impact our lives, from divorce to addiction, are influenced by our genetic predispositions. Now, thanks to the DNA revolution, it is becoming possible to predict who we will become, at birth, from our DNA alone. As Plomin shows us, these developments have sweeping implications for how we think about parenting, education, and social mobility.
A game-changing book by a leader in the field, Blueprint shows how the DNA present in the single cell with which we all begin our lives can impact our behaviour as adults.

Lacná kniha The Walking Dead: Živí mrtví 6 (-50%)
Z popela zničeného městečka Woodbury v Georgii povstanou dvě skupiny zbědovaných přeživších – a navzájem si jdou po krku.
Lilly Caulová se svými ztracenci se snaží vybudovat si nový život pod zemí, v bludišti prastarých chodeb a důlních šachet. V srdci i v hlavě jí však pořád doutná tajné odhodlání – zbavit milované Woodbury nákazy oživlých mrtvol.
Ale kdesi daleko v pustině zdevastované krajiny buduje reverend Jeremiáš Garlitz svou armádu stoupenců, vyzbrojenou ďábelskou tajnou zbraní. Je pevně odhodlaný zničit Lilly a její skupinu, která způsobila zkázu jeho oveček. Má už prostředky, jak se obyvatelům podzemních tunelů pomstít…
Střet mezi skupinami přeživších rozpoutá nepředstavitelnou zbraň, vytvořenou z obrovských hord nemrtvých, dovedenou k dokonalosti šílencem, nasáklou krví nevinných.
