A gorgeously romantic novel you will fall in love with and tell all your friends about! One love. Two people. Twenty Years.
From the moment their eyes met across the room at a house party, Erin and Dom were meant to be. If only it could be so simple. Over the years, the highs and lows of life conspire to keep them apart.

Valley of Genius
Rarely has one economy asserted itself as swiftly--and as aggressively--as the entity we now know as Silicon Valley. Built with a seemingly permanent culture of reinvention, Silicon Valley does not fight change; it embraces it, and now powers the American economy and global innovation. So how did this omnipotent and ever-morphing place come to be? It was not by planning.
It was, like many an empire before it, part luck, part timing, and part ambition. And part pure, unbridled genius... Drawing on over two hundred in-depth interviews, VALLEY OF GENIUS takes readers from the dawn of the personal computer and the internet, through the heyday of the web, up to the very moment when our current technological reality was invented.
The book interweaves stories of invention and betrayal, overnight success and underground exploits, to tell the story of Silicon Valley like it has never been told before. These are the stories that Valley insiders tell each other: the tall tales that are all, improbably, true.

Dvojník
Slávny román klasika svetovej literatúry.Dielo F. M. Dostojevského je nepochybne úprimným výrazom citlivej osobnosti, ktorá musela všetko prežiť a pretrpieť, než bola schopná to vysloviť. Ale Dostojevskij nehovoril len za seba. Jeho ústami nariekali, živorili a milovali nielen milióny ruských ľudí, ale aj milióny čitateľov na celom svete. Drásaná rozpormi sveta vôkol seba i v sebe, často nechápajúco čo ide, prenasledovaná časom, v ktorom „nebolo väčšieho zločinu, než byť bez peňazí a včas nezaplatiť", osobnosť vychádzala z tejto nemilosrdnej dielne doby väčšinou pokrytá ranami, vnútorne krvácajúca a zdeformovaná. A keď sa v jej pekelnom vnútre vzpriečila, bola bez milosti rozdrvená. Tak bola poznamenaná dobou aj geniálna osobnosť Dostojevského a odtiaľ vyviera jej vnútorná rozpoltenosť a duševná nalomenosť.

Oneskorené reportáže
Jedno z najvýznamnejších diel česko-slovenskej literatúry.Oneskorené reportáže patria medzi najvýznamnejšie prozaické diela v slovenskej literatúre. Po prvý raz vyšli v roku 1963 a v istom zmysle otvárali novú etapu našej literatúry nielen v československom kontexte, ale aj európskom. Etapu úporného pokusu o pravdu. Nik pred Ladislavom Mňačkom tak drsne a rúhavo nepomenoval stav, v ktorom naša spoločnosť žila v päťdesiatych rokoch, nik tak dôrazne nerozptyľoval jedovatú hmlu, ktorá nás halila. Autorovo slovo sa tak stalo jedným z dôležitých katalyzátorov atmosféry, umožňujúcej odbojný zdvih nášho umenia, výrazný najmä na Slovensku, najplastickejšie na stránkach legendárneho týždenníka Kultúrny život.
Kniha Oneskorené reportáže pôvodne vyšla takmer zároveň s celosvetovým publikovaním slávnej novely Alexandra Solženicyna Jeden deň Ivana Denisoviča a dodnes ostáva jedným zo svetlých kamienkov hľadania pravdy v našej literatúre. Nové vydanie Mňačkovej zásadnej knihy je nielen pripomenutím skvelého autora, ale aj snahou o oživenie našej pamäte.

They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them.

Výmena tovarov a myšlienok od vzácnych kameňov cez koreniny a nové náboženstvá až po technologické inovácie pozdĺž starovekých obchodných trás, známych ako Hodvábne cesty, zohrala kľúčovú úlohu pri rozvoji civilizácií v Európe a Ázii.
Kniha je rozdelená na päť kapitol, pričom každá skúma históriu obchodu a kultúr pozdĺž Hodvábnych ciest v kontexte konkrétneho terénu – stepí, vrchov, púští, riek a morí – s cieľom odhaliť, akú významnú funkciu krajiny Hodvábnych ciest plnili pri definovaní zdrojov, cestovania a komunít ľudí, ktorí žili a obchodovali pozdĺž týchto trás.
Táto priekopnícka kniha si ctí odkaz výrazne rôznorodých kultúr, ktoré sa rozvíjali a prekvitali nie napriek rozdielom medzi nimi, ale vďaka nim.

The Forest of Wool and Steel
What he experienced that day wasn't life-changing . . .
It was life-making. Tomura is startled by the hypnotic sound of a piano being tuned in his school. It seeps into his soul and transports him to the forests, dark and gleaming, that surround his beloved mountain village.
From that moment, he is determined to discover more. Under the tutelage of three master piano-tuners - one humble, one cheery, one ill-tempered - Tomura embarks on his training, never straying too far from a single, unfathomable question: do I have what it takes?Set in small-town Japan, this warm and mystical story is for the lucky few who have found their calling - and for the rest of us who are still searching. It shows that the road to finding one's purpose is a winding path, often filled with treacherous doubts and, for those who persevere, astonishing moments of revelation.

Movies of the 1970s
The 1970s: that magical era betwixt the swinging ’60s and the decadent ’80s, the epoch of leisure suits and Afros, the age of disco music and platform shoes. As war raged on in Vietnam and the Cold War continued to escalate, Hollywood began to heat up, recovering from its commercial crisis with box-office successes such as Star Wars, Jaws, The Exorcist, and The Godfather. Thanks to directors like Spielberg and Lucas, American cinema gave birth to a new phenomenon: the blockbuster.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, while the Nouvelle Vague died out in France, its influence extended to Germany, where the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog had its heyday. The sexual revolution made its way to the silver screen (cautiously in the U.S., more freely in Europe) most notably in Bertolucci’s steamy, scandalous Last Tango in Paris. Amid all this came a wave of nostalgic films (The Sting, American Graffiti) and Vietnam pictures (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter), the rise of the antihero (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman), and the prestigious short-lived genre, blaxploitation.
