Siblings
1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.
For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build a glorious, egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the Party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty, and desire. The result is this ground-breaking classic of post-war East German literature.
Translated by Lucy Jones
Hayate The Combat Butler 40
A hilarious tale of butlers, love and battles!
Since the tender age of nine, Hayate Ayasaki has busted his behind at various part-time jobs to support his degenerate gambler parents. And how do they repay their son's selfless generosity? By selling his organs to the yakuza to cover their debts! But fate throws Hayate a bone...sort of. Now the butler of a wealthy young lady, Hayate can finally pay back his debts, and it'll only take him 40 years to do it.
The manga-drawing duel, with Hayate's very body on the line, reaches its shocking conclusion! (Or maybe not so shocking, since Nagi spoiled it back in volume 37.) Expect broken hearts, touching farewells, surprise reunions, and the rest of the cast throwing a sweet party while the plot focus is away from them. Then it's time to rewind to the source of Hayate's misadventures. Remember, way back in volume 1, when Santa Claus verbally abused him? Ready to find out what was up with that?

The Monkey and the Money
On capitalism's long evolution from barter to today's global economy
Apes that exchange things. That is what we are. At some point around two million years ago, we discovered that we could exchange one thing for another. Since then, humans have continued trading and exchanging things throughout economic history. Clever humans also invented capital, which we used to shape our whole economic system. In this information-packed, entertaining, eye-opening book, Kjell A. Nordström guides us from the collaborative origins of prehistoric bartering to Adam Smith’s concept of specialization. He shows how we have used our endless inventiveness to transform our planet into a colossal, pulsating bazaar, where everyone is trading with one another all over the world, around the clock.
How did we end up here? And what does the future hold for our immense, complex global economy that has now started to appear vulnerable? Nordström provides hope that we will find new ways to continue our endless trading and exchanging. New ways that involve and take into account nature, our other vital source of capital: not created by us, but crucial to our well-being.
With The Monkey and the Money, Nordström aims to demystify economics and money. By providing insight into human ingenuity and perspectives based on that ingenuity, he helps us to understand and marvel at the vast, clever system that we call the economy. The book is illustrated by Patrik Instedt.

The See-Through House
'A charming account of a daughter, a house and a fastidious dad' Sunday Times
Shelley Klein grew up in the Scottish Borders, in a house designed on a modernist open-plan grid. With colourful glass panels set against a forest of trees, it was like living in a work of art. Her father, Bernat Klein, was a textile designer whose pioneering colours and textures were a major contribution to 1960s and 70s style.
Thirty years on, Shelley moves back home to care for her father, now in his eighties: the house has not changed and neither has his uncompromising vision - or his distinctive way of looking at the world. Told with great tenderness and humour, this is Shelley's account of looking after an adored yet maddening parent and a piercing portrait of the grief that followed his death.
'A sad, funny, utterly fascinating book about families, home and how to say goodbye' Mark Haddon
'Original, moving and bracingly honest... often hilarious' Blake Morrison, Guardian
'It is strange that grief should produce such a life-affirming book, but it has. Read it for the solace it contains, or for its captivating descriptions. Either way, it's a delight' Telegraph

Princip hokejky
Buďte otevření, nevyhýbejte se věcem, jež vás mohou zranit, dělejte všechno s plným nasazením, po pádu se zvedněte a jděte dál, protože jedině tak můžete prožít svůj život naplno. Žít naplno znamená akceptovat jako součást života nejistotu, což nevyhnutelně vede k tomu, že se nevyhneme pádům. Nový bestseller vynikající americké autorky a badatelky „lidských duší“ Brené Brown poukazuje na paradox lidské odvahy – jsme-li v tom, co děláme, dostatečně odvážní, nevyhneme se neúspěchům, které nás mohou srážet dolů a nahlodávat naši odvahu. Důležité je nenechat se odradit, ale umět se zvednout a jít dál. Autorka vychází ze své celoživotní badatelské práce a ukazuje, jak důležité je pojmenovat myšlenky, obavy a pocity, jež zakoušíme, a jak nám to pomáhá přijmout příběh svého života, interpretovat ho, vyrovnat se s tím, co nás potkalo, a nalézt tak hlubší smysl svého nživota, moudrost a naději. Knihou se jako červená nit táhne z hloubi našeho srdce a duše vyvěrající touha žít činorodým, kvalitním životem, prostoupeným nasazením, odhodláním a přesvědčením, že si zasloužíme lásku a přijetí ze strany druhých lidí. Docílit toho znamená rozvíjet a kultivovat odvahu, soucítění a napojení, abychom si ráno, když se probudíme, dokázali pomyslet: Bez ohledu na to, co všechno se dnes podaří a co ne, si zasloužím lásku a přijetí; znamená to si večer, když uléháme ke spánku, dokázat říci: Ano, nejsem dokonalý/á, jsem zranitelný/á a občas trpím obavami, to ale nic nemění na tom, že jsem ve skutečnosti odvážný/á a zasloužím si lásku, přijetí a pocit sounáležitosti s druhými lidmi Dr. Brené Brown je spisovatelka, profesorka a členka výzkumného týmu na University of Huston. Je zakladatelskou a generální ředitelkou společnosti The Daring Way. Její přednášku o síle zranitelnosti si vyslechlo již 19 milionů lidí. Je autorkou Nr. 1 New York Times Bestsellers.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein", despite this being the name of the scientist. Frankenstein is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully realized science fiction novel.
