Lacná kniha Nedokonalý plán (-90%)
Jeden deň máte všetko, na druhý je všetko inak. Na vlastnej koži to zažije aj Zuza, sebavedomá, úspešná mladá žena. Napriek varovným signálomvšak vykročí slepou uličkou a musí padnúť na „čuňu“, aby zistila, kde je sever. Život v luxuse sa zmení na živorenie v totálnej biede, materiálnej aj morálnej.A my s napätím sledujeme príbeh,ktorý odkrýva drsnú realitu súčasnosti. Nájdeme v ňom však aj úprimné city, bezhraničnú rodičovskú lásku,nechýba mu ani riadna dávkaromantiky a dráždivej erotiky.
Ukážka:
Niekde v kútiku duše sa vydesila. Prečo to šampanské zareagovalo tak neuveriteľne rýchlo? Zároveňju bezhlavo lákalo zažiť to znova. To obrovské uvoľnenie a oddanosť tej chvíli. Neopísateľné. Krásne.Veď sa milovala so svojím úžasným mužom. Spojili sa tak, že každý v miestnosti vedel − patria k sebe.
Len oni dvaja. Navždy. Teda, aj toto si Zuza myslela.
„Už si hore, ty divoška?“ ozval sa z kúpeľne Praďák. Vyzeral oddýchnutý, svieži, na rozdiel odzdochnutej Zuzy, ktoré ešte stále trpela na výpadky rovnováhy. „Za včerajšok klobúk dole! Takúsom ťa ešte nevidel!“ pokýval uznanlivo hlavou čerstvo osprchovaný a prstami si upravoval mokrévlasy. „Všetci z teba žasli, slečna Horlivá!“
Zuza sa začervenala,oprela sa o vankúša zapálila si cigaretu. Hľadela na vyfúknutý dym a stále sasnažila doplniť väčšinu puzzle, ktoré jej do skladačky ešte chýbali.

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
Who are you at 16, if you can't remember anything about your life since you were 12? A brilliant exploration of identity and love for YA readers, by the bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
After an accident that leaves her with partial amnesia, Naomi tries to piece together the fragments of the last three-and-a-half years of her life. She discovers that she has a tennis-champion boyfriend but can't remember him, is co-editor of the yearbook with a quirky guy who wears a smoking jacket, her parents are divorced, and she apparently hates her mother. She has friends who simply don't seem that attractive any more and, despite having meticulously kept a diary during the now-lost years, she only wrote about what she ate every day in it!
But when a girl loses three-and-a-half years, she gets a chance to reinvent herself. After all, who is to say that everything has to stay the same?

The Royals 5: Cracked Kingdom
A whirlwind romance. An unforgettable tragedy. Two teenagers face their cruelest test yet.
Ever since Hartley Wright met Easton Royal, her life hasn't been the same. There are enemies behind every corner and dangers beyond each door. When tragedy strikes and steals her memories, she can't trust anyone, not even the blue-eyed boy who promises her that everything will be all right.
Because while Hartley's memory is full of gaps, her instincts tell her Easton is dangerous. She doesn't know if he's the snake in the garden or her chance at salvation. The chaos he brings wherever he goes is too much to handle, the intense feelings he evokes are too confusing to unravel.
Easton wants her to remember. Hartley thinks it's better to forget. Tragedy.
Treachery. Trust. Hartley has to face the facts - in this world, you can't escape the Royals.
Either you live by their rules or you die by them.

Psychopatův průvodce na cestě k úspěchu
Sedm jednoduchých psychopatických zásad, které dovedou k úspěchu i vás! Profesor Kevin Dutton se na Oxfordské univerzitě zabývá psychopaty už léta. S příslušníkem speciálních jednotek SAS Andy McNabem, britským novodobým hrdinou, se setkal právě při
jednom svém výzkumném projektu. Fakt, že psychologické testy McNaba jednoznačně zařadily mezi psychopaty, ho nepřekvapil zarazilo ho však, že Andy McNab je psychopatem hodným. Na rozdíl od zlých psychopatů totiž využívá charakteristické psychopatic
ké povahové rysy, jako jsou bezohlednost či odvaha, k tomu, aby v nejrůznějších situacích dostal jak ze sebe, tak z ostatních to nejlepší. Spojení McNabových divokých a neuvěřitelných zkušeností a Duttonových znalostí vyústilo v poznatek, že hodný ps
ychopat přemýšlí jinak než většina z nás, a že kdybychom i my dokázali prohloubit a lépe využívat vlastnosti jako šarm, chladnokrevnost, sebevědomí nebo odvahu, byli bychom v pracovním i osobním životě bezpochyby mnohem úspěšnější. V této knize se za
jímavou a zábavnou formou naučíte, jak toho dosáhnout. Kevin Dutton je autorem úspěšné knihy Moudrost psychopatů. Praktická lekce od svatých, špionů a sériových vrahů (Emitos, 2013).

Night (Penguin twentieth century classics)
Elie Wiesel's harrowing first-hand account of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, "Night" is translated by Marion Wiesel with a preface by Elie Wiesel in "Penguin Modern Classics". Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, "Night" is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century. Elie Wiesel (b. 1928) was fifteen years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the distinguished French writer, Francois Mauriac, he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his internationally acclaimed memoir, "La Nuit" or "Night", which has since been translated into more than thirty languages. If you enjoyed "Night", you might also like Primo Levi's "The Periodic Table", also available in "Penguin Modern Classics". "A slim volume of terrifying power". ("The New York Times"). "To the best of my knowledge no one has left behind him so moving a record". (Alfred Kazin). "Wiesel has taken his own anguish and imaginatively metamorphosed it into art". (Curt Leviant, "Saturday Review").
Ako mať zdravé srdce a cievy v každom veku
Ako sa staráme o svoje srdce? Väčšina z nás macošsky. Kým sa samo neozve, často naň ani nepomysli´me. Štatistické údaje sú toho dôkazom. Epidemiologická situácia vo výskyte ochorení srdca a ciev v Slovenskej republike patria spolu s cievnymi chorobami mozgu k dominantny´m chorobám obehovej sústavy. Podlˇa údajov WHO/EURO na Slovensku umrie každý rok na tieto ochorenia 508 lˇudi´ na 100-tisíc obyvatelˇov. Tým sa zaradˇujeme v rámci 34 krajín Európy a 4 zoskupení do poslednej tretiny. Na rozdiel od toho vo vyspelých krajinách Európy dosahuje úmrtnostˇ na srdcovo-cievne ochorenia 221 ľudí na 100-tisíc obyvatelˇov, teda o 56 percent menej.
Prečo sa môžeme „pýšiť“ takýmto nechvályhodným umiestnením v celosvetovom meradle? Všetci odborníci sa zhodujú v tom, že najdôležitejšou príčinou, prečo sa ochorenia srdca a ciev tak rozšírili, je nesprávny životný štýl, nezdravé stravovanie, nedostatok pohybu a rozšírené´ fajčenie. To, že tak často zomierame na srdcový infarkt a mozgovú´ porážku, je dôsledok aj našej neinformovanosti a nedisciplinovanosti. My sa totižˇ nenakazímee chronickou chorobou – my si ju pitím, jedením a myslením sami navodzujeme.
Srdce a jeho nepretržitá´ čiinnostˇ počas celého nášho života patrí´ medzi jeden zo zázrakov prírody. Mnohých určite prekvapí, čo všetko zdravé srdce dokáže v spolupráci so „sieťou života“ – cievami a krvou – tekutinou jedinečných vlastností. Ale aj to, čo si spôsobujeme našim nezdravým životným štýlom, ako sami ovplyvňujeme zmeny krvného tlaku, srdcovú frekvenciu, zrážanlosť krvi, ktoré, ak včas neliečime, navodíme si arytmiu srdca, anginu pectoris, srdcový infarkt, mozgovú porážku či choroby periférnych ciev. Testy odhalia nielen to, čo nám chýba, ale aj návrh riešenia zdravotného problému jednotlivca. Ďalej sa bližšie dozvieme o príčinách, ale aj o možnostiach, ako zabrániťˇ kôrnateniu ciev a rozvíjaniu srdcových chorôb, čo robitˇ, kedˇ prežívamie ich typické prvé príznaky.
Autorka vo svojom príhovore hovorí: Vrelo odporúčam, začnite ťaženie za zdravé srdce najprv u seba, dˇalej vo vašej rodine a prevezmite kontrolu nad vašim zdravím. Staňte sa zástancami života pre zdravé srdce. Pravidelne na to potrebujeme do našej stravy zaraditˇ v dˇalšej časti knihy uvedené´ najdôležitejšie potraviny pre srdce a krvný´ obeh. Možno neviete, ale ažˇ na 90 percent sami rozhodujeme o tom, aké čisté a pružné sú naše cievy a aké´ zdravé´ je naše srdce. Zázračný liek neexistuje! Budem velˇmi rada, ak moja kniha najde cestu k vašim srdciam.
Kniha je druhou publikáciou edície Ako byť zdravý v každom veku. Ďalšie budú nasledovať.

Disobedient Bodies
An unmissable, radical essay from Emma Dabiri, bestselling author of Don't Touch My Hair and What White People Can Do Next.
What part of your beautiful self were you taught to hate? We spend a lot of time trying to improve our 'defects', according to society's ideals of beauty. But these ideals that are often reductive, tyrannical and commercially entangled, are imposed upon us by oppressive systems and further strengthened by our conditioned self-loathing.
This book encourages unruliness, exploring the ways in which we can rebel against and subvert the current system. Offering alternative ways of seeing beauty, drawing on other cultures, worldviews, times, and places - to reconnect with our birthright and find the inherent joy in our disobedient bodies.
Amazon Unbound
From the bestselling author of The Everything Store, an unvarnished picture of Amazon's unprecedented growth and its billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, revealing the most important business story of our time.
With the publication of The Everything Store in 2013, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone revealed how the unlikely Seattle start-up Amazon became an unexpected king of ecommerce. Since then, its founder has led Amazon to explosive growth in both size and wealth. In less than ten years, Amazon has quintupled the size of its workforce and increased its valuation to well over a trillion dollars. Whereas Amazon used to sell only books, there is now little they don't sell, becoming the world's largest online retailer and pushing into other markets at warp speed. Between Amazon's forty subsidiaries - like Whole Foods Market, Amazon Studios in Hollywood, websites like Goodreads and IMDb, and Amazon Web Services cloud software unit, plus Bezos's purchase of the Washington Post - it's almost impossible to go a day without encountering their goods. Amazon provides us opportunities to shop, entertain, inform, communicate, store and, one day, maybe even travel to the moon. We live in a world run, supplied and controlled by Amazon.
In Amazon Unbound, Stone offers the must-read follow-up to his bestseller The Everything Store, detailing the seismic changes that have taken place at Amazon over the past decade as it became one of the most powerful and feared companies in the global economy, led by one of the most powerful and feared leaders in business. He shows the acquisitions and innovations that have propelled Amazon's unprecedented growth, and the turn in public sentiment that criticises Amazon's monopolistic practices. As he charts the company's meteoric rise, Stone probes the evolution of Jeff Bezos - who started as a geeky entrepreneur but who transformed to become a fit, famed, disciplined billionaire, a man who runs Amazon with an iron fist but finds his personal life splashed over the tabloids.
Definitive, timely and revelatory, Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait of a man and company that we couldn't imagine modern life without.

Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry
A passionate, hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom debut full of juicy secrets and leap-off-the-page chemistry about how we choose to live our lives and what it means to live your truth. For fans of To All the Boys I've Loved Before and The Sun is Also a Star.
Quinn keeps lists of everything - from the days she's ugly cried, to "Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud," to all the boys she'd like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears (as well as embarrassing and cringeworthy truths) on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing . . .
An anonymous account posts one of her lists on Instagram for the whole school to see and blackmails her into facing seven of her greatest fears, or else her entire journal will go public. Quinn doesn't know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennett - the last known person to have her journal and who Quinn loathes - in a race against time to track down the blackmailer.
Together, they journey through everything Quinn's been too afraid to face, and along the way, Quinn finds the courage to be honest, to live in the moment, and to fall in love.
A razor-sharp, passionate and addictive YA romcom that readers will love.

Revelation Space
Nine hundred thousand years ago, something wiped out the Amarantin.
For the humans now settling the Amarantin homeworld, it's of little more than academic interest, even after the discovery of a long-hidden, almost perfect city and a colossal statue of a winged Amarantin.
For brilliant, ruthless scientist Dan Sylveste, it's more than merely intellectual curiosity - and he will stop at nothing to get at the truth. Even if it costs him everything.
But the Amarantin were wiped out for a reason, and that danger is closer and greater than even Syveste imagines . . .
The original novel in the epic series, Revelation Space was nominated for both the BSFA and Arthur C. Clarke awards. Reynolds' PhD in astronomy and experience with the ESA means that his space operas present hard science spins on intergalactic adventures and have impacted SF for years.
Pieces of Happiness
I've planted my feet on Fijian earth and I intend to stay here until the last sunset . Why don't you join me? Leave behind everything that didn't work out! When recently-widowed Kat writes to her four old school friends, inviting them to live with her on a cocoa plantation in the South Pacific, they swap icy pavements and TV dinners for a tropical breeze and an azure-blue ocean. Leaving behind loneliness, dead-end jobs and marriages that have gone sour, they settle into the Women's House, surrounded by palms and cocoa trees; and locals with the puzzling habit of exploding into laughter for no discernible reason.
Each of the women has her issues to resolve, and secrets to keep. But together the friends find a new purpose, starting a business making chocolate: bittersweet, succulent pieces of happiness. As they embrace a new culture that views ageing so differently from their own, will they learn to accept and forgive: to discover the value of friendship, and a better way to live?

That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Human
When I was a little girl, my Ma used to read me stories every night. Some were epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists, while others were of princesses trapped in towers guarded by fierce dragons. The pitiful princess would be stuck inside all day pining for her prince charming to come and rescue her. I always hated those stories. I couldn't imagine why the lazy thing didn't just get up and leave. Ironic since I was now stuck in that same situation. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn't just let you get up and leave.
Who knew?
When I thought I saw hope on the horizon, that hope was smashed to bits by - you guessed it - another damn dragon.
