Roger Zelazny v čisté, neředěné podobě. Tvůrce Amberu a mistr symbolů, od nějž se nedokážete odtrhnout.

The Awakening and Selected Short Stories (Legend Classics)
"The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth."
The Awakening follows Edna Pontellier, a resident of coastal Grand Isle of Louisiana, in her late twenties, who has a quintessential set-up for a content housewife. Indeed, her husband makes good money, and her daily routine should gleefully hinge on the two children, but, Edna is neither a self-sacrificing mother, nor a devoted wife. Instead, she is gradually awoken to rebel against this 'perfect set-up'. Edna finds herself in the middle of two extremes. On one hand, she finds selfless Madame Ratignolle, who is a model wife. On the other, there is dejected Mademoiselle Reisz, who pursues her artistic aspiration in solitude. While taking bold decisions and carving her niche, she explores her sexuality with a womanizer, Alcee and an intimate understanding with a young man, Robert Lebrun. Will this awakening predetermine her ultimate happiness or signpost personal tragedy? Will the duality of the 'outward existence' and 'inward life' be reconciled for Edna to signify her emancipation?
This short novel is widely acknowledged to do both, encapsulating the features of fin de si?cle realism in its linear narrative, and anticipates literary modernism of the early twentieth century. Edna's defiance of the American alternative of Victorian 'Angel in the House' is reminiscent of such classics as Anna Bronte's Tenant of the Wildfell Hall. The Awakening also procures modernist works where the heroines look for the self - namely, Mrs Dalloway, Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bell Jar. The condensed and intense prose style gives the novel a cryptic charm in line with Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby. Besides, vivid natural symbolism of water, birds and the moon are the calling card of the novel that enhances its level of ambiguity and multivalence.
The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! Volume 1
Suimei and two of his best friends find themselves mysteriously summoned to another world. There’s a cute princess, magic galore, a Demon Lord that needs to be defeated, and a world that needs to be saved—the works! Too bad Suimei isn’t interested. His friends are all too ready to play the parts of heroes, but Suimei just wants to get home. He has an advantage as a magician... but he’s in for a rude awakening when he finds out what actually passes for magic in these parts.

Metallica - Ride The Lightning (Electric Blue Ltd. Edition) LP
Metallica je americká heavymetalová skupina. Kapela bola založená v roku 1981 v Los Angeles spevákom a gitaristom Jamesom Hetfieldom a bubeníkom Larsom Ulrichom a väčšinu svojej kariéry žila v San Franciscu.Rýchle tempá, inštrumentály a agresívne muzikantstvo z nich urobili jednu zo zakladajúcich „veľkej štvorky“ thrash metalových kapiel, popri Megadeth, Anthrax a Slayer. Aktuálnu zostavu Metallicy tvoria zakladajúci členovia a hlavní skladatelia Hetfield a Ulrich, dlhoročný hlavný gitarista Kirk Hammett a basgitarista Robert Trujillo. Gitarista Dave Mustaine, ktorý založil Megadeth po vyhodení z kapely, a basgitaristi Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton a Jason Newsted sú bývalí členovia kapely.
Ride the Lightning je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 27. júla 1984 nezávislým vydavateľstvom Megaforce Records. Album bol nahraný za tri týždne s producentom Flemmingom Rasmussenom v Sweet Silence Studios v Kodani v Dánsku. Umelecké dielo, založené na koncepte kapely, zobrazuje elektrické kreslo zasiahnuté bleskom prúdiacim z loga kapely. Názov bol prevzatý z pasáže románu Stephena Kinga The Stand, v ktorej postava používa frázu na označenie popravy elektrickým kreslom. Ride the Lightning vyvrcholil na 100. mieste v rebríčku Billboard 200 prakticky bez rádiového vplyvu. Hoci sa pôvodne pre americký trh vytlačilo 75 000 kópií, do novembra 1987 sa z albumu predalo pol milióna. V roku 2012 získal 6-násobnú platinovú platňu od asociácie Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) za prepravu šiestich miliónov kópií v Spojených štátoch.

Heart to Heart
From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.
At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small...
With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet—text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell’s masterful illustrations—Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”
The Fox Wife
Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking . . .
Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen in the snow. Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until, perhaps, now.
Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance. Hunting a murderer, the trail will take her from northern China to Japan, with Bao following doggedly behind. And as their paths draw ever closer together, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur.
Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depth of maternal bonds, and ancient folktales that may very well be true.
Chamber Music And Other Poems
Universally known for his groundbreaking prose - especially for the monumental novel Ulysses and its depictions of Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century - James Joyce started off as a writer of lyrical poetry, a genre which he never abandoned in his lifetime and which informs and enriches the rest of his literary production.
This volume, which includes Joyce's first published book, Chamber Music, as well as his later collection Pomes Penyeach and several other uncollected poems, reveals a lesser-known facet of the great modernist's artistic career and a glimpse into his poetical sensibility.
Cezanne
An updated edition of this classic survey, a thorough overview of Paul Cezanne's life and work.
For Picasso he was 'like our father'; for Matisse, 'a god of painting'. Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) is widely regarded as the father of modern art. In this authoritative and accessible study, Richard Verdi traces the evolution of Cezanne's landscape, still-life and figure compositions, from the turbulently romantic creations of his youth to the visionary masterpieces of his final years. The painter's biography - his fluctuating reputation and strained relations with his parents, wife and close friend Emile Zola - is vividly evoked using excerpts from his own letters and from contemporary accounts of the artist.
Cezanne was torn between the desires to create art and to seek inspiration - to master the themes of the past, through his copying sessions in the Louvre, and to explore the eternal qualities of nature in the countryside of his native Provence. In this way the artist sought 'to make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the museums'. In this richly illustrated overview Verdi explores the strength, vitality and magnitude of Cezanne's achievement.

In Search of Amrit Kaur
On a sweltering day in 2007, Italian writer Livia Manera Sambuy encounters a photograph of Princess Amrit Kaur in a Mumbai museum. The picture is arresting, gorgeous - but the caption will change Livia's life forever. It claims that the Punjabi princess sold her jewels in occupied Paris to save Jewish lives, only to be arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp where she died within a year.
It's a sensational story - and for Livia, the beginning of a compulsive search for the truth as she delves into the history of the British Raj, the diamonds and sapphires of the twentieth-century aristocracy, and the lives of extraordinary figures: bankers, jewellers, explorers and spies. Past and present converge when Livia travels to meet Bubbles, the princess's daughter, now in her eighties. Striving to reconnect Bubbles with the elusive woman who abandoned her in 1933, Livia unearths a strange and complicated family history; one that diverges unexpectedly from the story that she set out to uncover.
Filled with glamour and terror, beauty and sorrow, In Search of Amrit Kaur is an engrossing detective story, a kaleidoscopic history lesson, and a moving portrait of mothers, lovers and daughters across the century, seeking personal freedom.

The Hidden Language of Cats
THIS BOOK TRANSLATES ALL THE MEOWS - IN CASE YOU MISSED ANYTHING
Today, domestic cats live harmoniously with devoted owners all over the world. But how did the wildcats of old creep into our homes and our hearts, convincing us to keep them warm, fed, and pampered?
They learned to talk to us.
Renowned cat behaviour scientist Dr. Sarah Brown reveals the previously unexplored secrets of cat communication in a book that is both scientifically grounded and utterly delightful.
Each chapter dives into a different form of communication, including:
· Vocalisation
· Tail signals
· Scents
· Rubbing
· Ear movements
Through observing the behavior of two cat colonies in rural England, readers will also have the opportunity to glimpse into the lives of some of the cats behind Dr. Brown's science.
With references to historical records, modern scientific studies of cat-human communication, and the inclusion of simple, elegant line drawings, The Hidden Language of Cats is perfect for any cat lover who wants to learn more about their beloved companion.
Plant Robert & Krauss Alison - Raise The Roof (Limited Edition) CD
KDO: Výjimečná dvojice. Robert Plant je podle mnoha expertů nejlepší zpěvák hudební historie! Hlas a nenahraditelný člen rockové legendy Led Zeppelin, jejíž obnovení tvrdošíjně odmítá, už několik let hledá s kytaristou Justinem Adamsem nové podněty v africké hudbě. V roce 2007 Plant natočil právě s Alison Krauss album, za které získali šest cen Grammy. Americká country-bluegrassová zpěvačka a houslistka Alison Krauss patří k nejoceňovanějším ženským interpretkám. Za svou kariéru získala nesčetně cen včetně mnoha Grammy. Je rovněž uznávanou autorkou filmové hudby.
CO: Robert Plant a Alison Krauss navazují na svou spolupráci z roku 2007, kdy vydali ceněné album Raising Sand. Novinku znovu produkoval Američan T-Bone Burnett a podobně jako u předchozího projektu jde hlavně o předělávky méně známých skladeb od významných jmen rocku, blues i country (Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers či Calexico). Nahrávka je k dispozici na CD nebo 2LP. V limitovaných verzích je deska o dvě skladby bohatší.
