About a Boy (nem)
Nick Hornbys erfolgreichster Roman. Kinder sind so ungefähr das letzte, was sich Will Freeman, 36 Jahre alt und überzeugter Single, wünscht. Er lebt gut und faul von den Tantiemen eines Weihnachtslieds, das sein Vater 1938 komponiert hat. Seine Tage verbringt er mit Nichtstun, und an den Abenden bemüht er sich zur Zerstreuung um junge, alleinerziehende, gutaussehende Mütter.Marcus hat mit seinen zwölf Jahren ganz andere Probleme. Seine Eltern sind getrennt, und seine Mutter hat die beängstigende Neigung, ständig in Tränen auszubrechen. In der Schule ist Marcus nicht zuletzt wegen seiner Kleidung, seines Haarschnitts und seines Musikgeschmacks ein Außenseiter. Zum Glück bringt ihn das Schicksal mit Will zusammen. Und was das Schicksal einem schenkt, das lässt man so schnell nicht wieder los…Nick Hornbys erfolgreichster Roman wurde verfilmt mit Hugh Grant, Toni Colette und Rachel Weisz. Der Film wurde – wie das Buch – ein riesiger Erfolg.

The Value of Everything
Who really creates wealth in our world? And how do we decide the value of what they do? At the heart of today's financial and economic crisis is a problem hiding in plain sight.
In modern capitalism, value-extraction is rewarded more highly than value-creation: the productive process that drives a healthy economy and society. From companies driven solely to maximize shareholder value to astronomically high prices of medicines justified through big pharma's 'value pricing', we misidentify taking with making, and have lost sight of what value really means. Once a central plank of economic thought, this concept of value - what it is, why it matters to us - is simply no longer discussed.
Yet, argues Mariana Mazzucato in this penetrating and passionate new book, if we are to reform capitalism - radically to transform an increasingly sick system rather than continue feeding it - we urgently need to rethink where wealth comes from. Which activities create it, which extract it, which destroy it? Answers to these questions are key if we want to replace the current parasitic system with a type of capitalism that is more sustainable, more symbiotic - that works for us all. The Value of Everything will reignite a long-needed debate about the kind of world we really want to live in.

The Wolf and the Woodsman
A spirited outcast. A disgraced prince.
A world where monsters roam free.
In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power. So when soldiers from the Holy Order of Woodsmen arrive to claim a girl for their king's blood sacrifice, the villagers only have one person to offer up.
But when they are attacked en-route to the capital, and everyone but Evike and a lone Woodsman are slaughtered, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power.
As they travel from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, they form a tenuous pact that slowly turns their loathing turns to affection. But trust is easily betrayed, and as Evike discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar must decide where their loyalties really lie...
Gymnázium
Humoristický román Gymnázium, věnovaný atmosféře a humoru středoškolských studií, vychází již v 7. vydání. Poprvé spatřil světlo světa ještě za totality jako samizdat v počtu třiceti výtisků, které ovšem šly z ruky do ruky a putovaly po celé (tehdy ještě československé) republice. Od té doby přečetlo tuto knihu již více než sto tisíc čtenářů. Dle značných ohlasů lze usoudit, že se při četbě nenudili a že si připomněli vesměs příjemná studentská léta. V současné době, kdy od revoluce uběhlo více než dvacet let, může již ovšem hrát i roli zajímavé historické reminiscence a ukázat nejen mladší, ale i střední generaci, jak a v jaké atmosféře se studovalo bez počítačů, počítačových her, internetu, mobilních telefonů a navíc ještě v éře reálného socialismu. Autenticitu románu posiluje skutečnost, že vše, o čem pojednává, se z více než devadesáti procent skutečně stalo a že v něm nevystupuje ani jediná vymyšlená postava. Mezi proslulé nápisy a výroky patří např. nápis na chlapeckém záchodku ŘEDITEL JE VŮL, I KDYŽ SE TO SMAŽE, zápis na zámku Nové Město nad Metují DĚKUJEME ZA KRÁSNÝ VÝKLAD. ZÁJEZD NESLYŠÍCÍCH Z JIHLAVY nebo výrok muže, který se napil dobré moravské slivovice a pravil: TO JE SÍLA, TO NENÍ MOŽNÝ, ŽE TO NENÍ ZDRAVÝ! Mimo značného množství humorných výroků, dialogů, nápisů a vtipů lze v románu najít také řadu příběhů a historek ze života středoškolských studentů a jejich profesorů. S ohledem na skutečnost, že se jedná o jedinou humoristickou knihu od dob Jaroslava Žáka věnovanou studiu na gymnáziu, je velmi pravděpodobné, že pobaví a rozesměje mnoho dalších čtenářů.

Bookshops
Why do bookshops matter? How do they filter our ideas and literature? In this inventive and highly entertaining extended essay, Jorge Carrion takes his reader on a journey around the world, via its bookshops. His travels take him to Shakespeare & Co in Paris, Wells in Winchester, Green Apple Books in San Francisco, Librairie des Colonnes in Tangier, the Strand Book Store in New York and provoke encounters with thinkers, poets, dreamers, revolutionaries and readers.
Bookshops is the travelogue of a lucid and curious observer, filled with anecdotes and stories from the universe of writing, publishing and selling books. A bookshop in Carrion's eyes never just a place for material transaction; it is a meeting place for people and their ideas, a setting for world changing encounters, a space that can transform lives.
Written in the midst of a worldwide recession, Bookshops examines the role of these spaces in today's evershifting climate of globalisation, vanishing high streets, e-readers and Amazon. But far from taking a pessimistic view of the future of the physical bookshop, Carrion makes a compelling case for hope, underlining the importance of these places and the magic that can happen there. A vital manifesto for the future of the traditional bookshop, and a delight for all who love them.

Farewell To Arms

recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer and the men and women he meets in Italy with total conviction. Not only a novel of war, A Farewell to Arms is also a love story of immense drama and uncompromising pass

You'll find animals living on freezing ice caps, high on snowy mountain peaks, in parched deserts and down in the dark depths of the ocean. They fly through the air, crawl among trees, burrow into the earth, plunge through the seas, and prowl the forests - and range from the tiniest of insects too small to see without a magnifying glass to the blue whale, which is longer than three buses!
The book is divided into seven sections: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Oceania & Antarctica - each with a map of the major environments as well as illustrated and photographic depictions of some of the animals living there.

Jaké je tudíž Emilino překvapení, když se otec vrátí z audience u krále Jindřicha v doprovodu záhadného cizince! Mohl by být tento přitažlivý muž jejím vytouženým milencem? Draven de Montague skutečně přijel pro Emily, ale s romantikou to nemá nic společného. Nikdy by nepřekročil práh svého úhlavního nepřítele, kdyby mu král nepřikázal odvézt Hughovu dceru na svůj hrad jako rukojmí. Panovník doufá, že tím oběma významným šlechticům zabrání v neustálých rozbrojích. Emily i Draven jsou odhodláni vyplnit králův rozkaz. Nezkušenou dívku sice svírají obavy, ale zároveň ji uhrančivý lord neodolatelně přitahuje. Dravena zase znepokojuje Emilyina krása, která nahlodává jeho odhodlání nikdy se nezamilovat. Zůstanou pouhými figurkami na královské šachovnici, anebo se nechají ovládnout vášní?

I Love Dick
When Chris Kraus, an unsuccessful artist pushing 40, spends an evening with a rogue academic named Dick, she falls madly and inexplicably in love, enlisting her husband in her haunted pursuit. Dick proposes a kind of game between them, but when he fails to answer their letters Chris continues alone, transforming an adolescent infatuation into a new form of philosophy. Blurring the lines of fiction, essay and memoir, Chris Kraus's novel was a literary sensation when it was first published in 1997. Widely considered to be the most important feminist novel of the past two decades, I Love Dick is still essential reading; as relevant, fierce and funny as ever. The novel's cult following has ensured a steady undercurrent of buzz since its first publication twenty years ago, with high-profile champions as diverse as Lena Dunham, Sheila Heti, Kim Gordon, Leslie Jamison and Alexa Chung
