The Last Word
If you give this book a one-star review, you might end up dead.
Emma is house-sitting on the rainy Washington coast with only her golden retriever for company. She likes the isolation, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to read.
But her latest pick, a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, is disappointing and Emma leaves a one-star review. A message dings back - the author, H.G. Kane, has replied and he's furious. Emma brushes it off, until disturbing incidents start to occur. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.
Kane has written sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. He knows he's a brilliant writer - he just needs to make Emma understand...
Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.
Animal Farm
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell's fable of revolutionary farm animals - the steadfast horses Boxer and Clover, the opportunistic pigs Snowball and Napoleon, and the deafening choir of sheep - who overthrow their elitist human master only to find themselves subject to a new authority, is one of the most famous warnings ever written.
Rejected by such eminent publishing figures as Victor Gollancz, Jonathan Cape and T.S. Eliot due to its daringly open criticism of Stalin, Animal Farm was published to great acclaim by Martin Secker and Warburg on 17 August 1945.
One reviewer wrote 'In a hundred years' time perhaps Animal Farm ... may simply be a fairy story: today it is a fairy story with a good deal of point.'
Seventy-five years since its first publication, Orwell's immortal satire remains an unparalleled masterpiece and more relevant than ever.
The Christmas Wish
Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker is hoping that a family Christmas—countryside, a mountain of food and festive films—will salve the sting of her career hanging by a thread and her heart being trampled on.

Then Gwen wakes up to discover it’s Christmas day all over again. Like Groundhog Day but with eggnog. And family arguments. On repeat.
As she figures out how to escape her own particular Christmas hell, Dev is the one bright spot. He might be all grown-up but underneath he’s just as kind and funny as she remembers.
Maybe, just maybe, her heart can be mended after all.
But how do you fall in love with someone who can’t remember you from one day to the next?

Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying (2015 Remastered) CD
KDO: Skupina Iron Maiden patří k nejpopulárnějším reprezentantům britské rockové hudby. V nedávné anketě pořádané u příležitosti královnina diamantového výročí bylo jejich album The Number Of The Beast zvoleno nejlepší britskou deskou posledních šedesáti let. Také v našich končinách se sláva kapely "hvězd dotýká". Opakovaně vyprodávají stadióny, s každým vydavatelským počinem útočí na nejvyšší příčky prodejního žebříčku.
CO: Pokračování reediční kampaně navazující na koncept, který Iron Maiden v roce 2017 připravili ve spolupráci s americkou obchodní sítí Walmart. V druhé vlně si lze samostatně pořídit čtyři alba (Somewhere In Time, Powerslave, No Prayer For The Dying a Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son) v remasterované podobě z roku 2015 a též sběratelský box Somewhere In Time (Collectors). No Prayer for the Dying je osmé studiové album legendární britské heavy metalové skupiny. Iron Maiden z roku 1990. Vyšly z něj dva singly, Holy Smoke a Bring Your Daughter…To The Slaughter, přičemý druhý jmenovaný je vůbec nejúspěšnější skladbou v historii skupiny. Zpěvák Bruce Dickinson ji napsal pro horor Noční můra z Elm Street 5 (za což získala anticenz Zlatá malina pro nejhorší filmovou melodii) a plánoval ji vydat na své sólové desce, kytarista Steve Harris však Dickinsona přesvědčil, aby píseň vydal s Iron Maiden. Je to vůbec jediná skladba v historii kapely, která dosáhla na první příčku britské singlové hitparády, a to přesto, že ji britská rádia téměř nehrála.

Alien Worlds
A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated natural history of insects. Insects are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived. They comprise a million species and perhaps 10 quintillion individuals: one in every four animals on the planet is a beetle; one in every ten is a butterfly or moth. Much of life on earth depends on the activities of these busy, teeming arthropods, from pollination to the breaking down of waste matter. In Alien Worlds, Steve Nicholls draws on a lifetime of writing about, photographing and filming the natural world to create an ambitious account of insect evolution and biology. Each chapter of Alien Worlds centres on one or more of the traits of insect life that have allowed them to hold dominion over the earth's terrestrial and freshwater environments for so long, from their staggering reproductive ability to their complex partnership with flowering plants, and from their remarkable level of care for their young to their sophisticated social lives. Alien Worlds explores what insects are, and why there are so many of them; the impact on insects (the only flying invertebrates) of the possession of wings; and the extraordinary sensory world of insects. It offers a winning fusion of glorious imagery and fine biological writing by an entomological specialist who writes both entertainingly and with authentic scientific rigour - and who also happens to be a very gifted nature photographer.

Devoluce: Očité svědectví o útoku seskvečů u Mt. Rainier
Sopka Mount Rainier vybuchla a malá obec vybavená nejmodernější technologií, usazená hluboko v horách je odříznuta od civilizace i dodávek potravin. Zima se blíží a z lesa se ozývá záhadné vytí.
V deníku nalezeném v zakrvácených troskách Greenloopu Kate Hollandová popisuje události tak hrůzné a tak šokující, že by měly být zapomenuty. Max Brooks přepsal zápisky Kate slovo od slova a podpořil její vyprávění vlastním vyšetřováním husí kůži nahánějícího masakru a historkami od táborových ohňů o chlupatých netvorech. Obrovití a odporně páchnoucí predátoři nejsou překvapením podtitul o jejich přítomnosti v příběhu dává jasně vědět ale to neznamená, že napětí mezi stránkami by se nedalo krájet. A právě přítomnost seskvečů poskytuje Brooksovi zábavný rámec, prostřednictvím kterého pokládá složitou, ale příhodnou otázku, kdy je lepší být optimistou a kdy by se měl člověk připravit na nejhorší.
Hororový příběh založený na střetu civilizovaného a technicky vyspělého světa s tím primitivním, ovládaným základními pudy, na pozadí přírodní katastrofy. Kolik toho jemný, vzdělaný a na nejnovějších vymoženostech závislý člověk dokáže vydržet, než se u něj projeví ty nejzákladnější, nejnižší instinkty z prehistorických časů? A kým se vlastně stane? A kdo nakonec vyhraje?
Děsivé. Brooks se nezabývá jen koncem lidskosti; ukazuje nám také naši další cestu k nové, nevyhnutelné, naprosté brutalitě. server BookPage (v recenzi oceněno hvězdou)
Brooks vykresluje živoucí krajinu a má dar v okamžiku změnit úhel pohledu a náhle tak změnit půvabné přírodní scenérie v hrozivé. Dokáže zápletku napěchovat akcí, informacemi i atmosférou a zachytit tak slabosti i hrdinství svých postav. časopis Publishers Weekly
Devoluce je uhrančivá. Je to hororový příběh o tom, jak každý, a zvlášť ti, kteří se pokládají za něco víc, může pomalu klesnout zpět k prapůvodnímu, instinktivnímu chování. Uchvátila mě od první strany až k té poslední! Les Stroud, autor pořadu Survivorman, filmový tvůrce a spisovatel
Další úspěšný román spisovatele Maxe Brookse po bestselleru Světová válka Z, který byl také zfilmován s hercem Bradem Pittem v hlavní roli.

Co jsem nezapomněl (aneb Z deníku potulného písničkáře)
Název vzpomínek básníka, prozaika a písničkáře Jana Buriana (nar. 26. března 1952) Co jsem nezapomněl naznačuje jistou spřízněnost s jeho starším textem Rychle než to zapomenu. V letech 1982 až 1985 si Jan Burian psal soukromé zápisky, které vydal v samizdatu. S ohledem na skutečnost, že se text mohl dostat do ruky komukoliv, musel autor leccos vynechat, aby nezpůsobil řadě lidí problémy s tehdejší státní mocí. Také - jak přiznal po letech - se občas soustředil na něco, co už ztratilo význam, a některé věci v oné době viděl jinak, třeba i trochu mělce. Útlá knížka končila rozpadem někdejší folkové dvojice Burian-Dědeček a oficiálně vyšla až roku 1990 jako první svazek edice Traverza v nakladatelství Scéna.
Po pětatřiceti letech se Jan Burian k těmto vzpomínkám vrátil, doplnil je a podstatně rozšířil, zejména o autentické zápisky z osmdesátých let, z radostné doby, kdy se hroutil režim. Doby, která už byla popsána například z pohledu disidenta, politika nebo úředníka, ovšem tentokrát jde pro změnu o pohled písničkáře. Text knihy opisuje oblouk od dětství a dospívání na Hradčanech v rodině divadelníka E. F. Buriana přes hledání vlastní umělecké cesty v husákovském Československu až k otevření nových možností po listopadu 1989, kdy Janu Burianovi začala být zavedená role písničkáře s klavírem těsná. Koláž Burianova vyprávění, dobových zápisků a citací nejrůznějších dokumentů končí rokem 1992; chystaný druhý díl se soustředí na autorovy zážitky, postřehy a tvorbu od devadesátých let až po současnost.
Jethro Tull - 50 For 50 3CD
KDO: Slavná britská rocková skupina, jejíž ústřední postavou je zpěvák, kytarista a hráč na flétnu Ian Anderson, vznikla v roce 1967.

Louise Bourgeois Made Giant Spiders and Wasn't Sorry.
A clever, quirky picture-book biography of one of the most important figures of modern and contemporary art
Louise Bourgeois was a world-famous artist who told stories of her life through her art until she was 98 years old. She drew, wove, and sculpted pieces inspired by her experiences, often using everyday objects that reminded her of her family and her past.
Her famous giant spiders fascinate – and sometimes terrify – art-lovers to this day, but the truth behind the inspiration for these towering sculptors is not as scary as it may seem. This is an inspiring story about a young girl who became the first female sculptor to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York – a unique picture-book celebration for children of one of the most important modern and contemporary woman artists of our time.
