Lacná kniha Prabhupáda (-70%)
Tato působivá kniha Satsvarúpy dáse Gósvámího velice poutavě hovoří o životě a učení zcela neobyčejného světce, učence a duchovního učitele moderní doby – A.Č. Bhaktivédanty Svámího Prabhupády. Hnutí, které založil, je známo prakticky po celém světě, ale sám jako osobnost zůstal bez vlastních ambicí pouze v pozadí.
Když Šríla Prabhupáda poprvé potkal svého duchovního učitele, Bhaktisiddhántu Sarasvatího Gósvámího, ihned jím byl požádán, aby rozšiřoval učení Čaitanji Maháprabhua v anglickém jazyce. To, čeho Bhaktivédanta Svámí později dosáhl, pak překvapilo celý svět. V posledních deseti letech svého života, navzdory pokročilému věku, kdy většina lidí myslí už jen na odpočinek, dvanáctkrát procestoval celou zeměkouli, aby ku prospěchu všech lidí předal celému světu poklad védské moudrosti i kultury.
Ať už z pohledu sociologického, filozofického nebo náboženského studia je životní příběh Šríly Prabhupády jedinečným příspěvkem celému lidstvu.
Čtenáře překvapí osobní vlastnosti Šríly Prabhupády – jeho cílevědomost, opravdová pokora a hluboká duchovnost… Život Šríly Prabhupády, jak je zde představen, je ztělesněním ideálu, který předložil k následování i všem ostatním. Ve věku všudypřítomného pokrytectví a cynizmu je to právě takový druh vzácného příkladu, který potřebujeme.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by American humorist Mark Twain. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It is also one of the first major American novels written using Local Color Regionalism, or vernacular, told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and hero of three other Mark Twain books.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing Southern antebellum society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde
Back in the USSR: 250 film posters capture the cultural energy of the pre-Stalin era
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.
Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
The Log of a Cowboy
The Log of a Cowboy is an account of a five-month drive of 3,000 cattle from Brownsville, Texas, to Montana in 1882 along the Great Western Cattle Trail. Although the book is fiction, it is firmly based on Adams's own experiences on the trail, and it is considered by many to be the best account of cowboy life in literature. Adams was disgusted by the unrealistic cowboy fiction being published in his day; The Log of a Cowboy was his response. It is still in print, and even modern reviewers consider it a compelling classic. The Chicago Herald said: "As a narrative of cowboy life, Andy Adams' book is clearly the real thing. It carries its own certificate of authentic first-hand experience on every page."

The Way We Live Now
The Way We Live Now is a scathing satirical novel published in London in 1875 by Anthony Trollope, after a popular serialisation. It was regarded by many of Trollope's contemporaries as his finest work.One of his longest novels (it contains a hundred chapters), The Way We Live Now is particularly rich in sub-plot. It was inspired by the financial scandals of the early 1870s, and lashes at the pervading dishonesty of the age, commercial, political, moral, and intellectual. It is one of the last significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly parts.

The Hardest Fall
In the game of love you can't afford to drop the ball...
Zoe’s always been shy. At college, to try to help her, her friend dares her to do the craziest thing she can think of… kiss a random guy.
She follows Dylan into a room she thinks is a classroom and ends up seeing a little too much of him. She can hardly kiss him now… not when after their embarrassing encounter and certainly not after he tells her he has a girlfriend.
But when he finds out about the dare, the two make a pact… if they ever cross paths again – and they’re both single – they’ll kiss.
Two years later, fate intervenes, and they end up as accidental roommates. Now Zoe’s seeing a lot more of Dylan than she bargained for and it’s even harder to resist peeking the second time round.

A History of the Czech Lands
A History Of The Czech Lands podává soustavný výklad naší historie od pravěku až po vstup České republiky do Evropské unie v roce 2004. Kniha sleduje vývoj českého státu a národa, stejně jako menšin žijících na českém území, zejména Židů, Němců, Slováků a Poláků. Osu výkladu tvoří proměny státu (včetně území, která k němu patřila jen dočasně) a společnosti v něm žijící, ale pozornost je věnována rovněž kultuře, náboženství, populačnímu vývoji a tisíciletému přetváření krajinného prostředí. Za vedení dvojice předních českých historiků – Jaroslava Pánka a Oldřicha Tůmy – knihu zpracoval kolektiv odborníků z Historického ústavu a z Ústavu pro soudobé dějiny Akademie věd České republiky. Druhé, doplněné vydání obsahuje bohatý obrazový doprovod (133 ilustrací a fotografií) a 16 map zachycujících územní vývoj českých zemí. Knihu uzavírá nová kapitola, věnovaná událostem let 1993–2004. Dle zahraničních recenzí prvního vydání nejucelenější výklad českých dějin dostupný v angličtině.
