Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations 2020 2LP
KDO: Britskou heavymetalovou kapelu Diamond Head založili v roce 1976 kytarista Brian Tatler a bubeník Duncan Scott a jako jedni z prvních byli řazeni k takzvané "Nové vlně britského heavy-metalu". Přes mnohé rozchody a personální změny skupina působí dodnes a jako jeden ze svých hlavních hudebních vlivů ji uvádějí i Metallica nebo Megadeth.
CO: Letos uplynulo čtyřicet let od vydání prvního alba a skupiny k této příležitosti připravila jeho speciální verzi. Všechny skladby znovu nahrála, dala desce nový obal a k sedmi původním skladbám vlastního alba natočila i čtyři bonusy - cover verze skladeb od Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Judas Priest a Metallicy.

The Eye of the World
The Eye of the World and its sequels in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series show the extent to which one can go with a traditional fantasy framework, with added gusto. Stock elements are abound: a reluctant hero--in fact five humble village folk--plucked from wholesome obscurity to fight dark powers; an eternal evil enemy who can be defeated but not destroyed, until the end of the world, which is fast approaching; a mysterious sisterhood with vast powers and who love to manipulate thrones and kingdoms from the shadows (think of the Bene Gesserit of the Dune series); a ferocious battle-hardened warrior race (echoes of the Fremen of Dune, or the Haruchai of the Thomas Covenant novels). Jordan didn't become a bestselling author merely by mixing up traditional ingredients; a master storyteller, he ingeniously gives unusual twists to these conventional fantasy elements. He also excels in the descriptive and narrative skills needed to create a detailed and coherent imaginary world. The many lands he portrays are vast in scope and contain amazingly varied countries and peoples, while retaining the inner coherence needed to make them satisfying places for a fantasy fan to roam around in. However, Jordan's writing never attains the subtlety or sophistication of, say, George RR Martin and there are some annoying stylistic tics: he seems unable to introduce a female character without commenting on her neckline and thereafter has them forever smoothing their dresses. To his publisher's credit, Jordan's books are fortunate among fantasy novels in not having covers that look like an explosion of a teenager's bedroom. The absence of such lurid artwork is, perhaps, part of their appeal.

Lacná kniha On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal (-70%)
For more than twenty years Naomi Klein's books have defined our era, chronicling the exploitation of people and the planet and demanding justice. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing from the frontline of climate breakdown, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next.
Here is Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of 'perpetual now,' to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of 'climate barbarism,' this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.
With dispatches from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, the smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, post-hurricane Puerto Rico and a Vatican attempting an unprecedented 'ecological conversion,' Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.
This is the fight for our lives. On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the energy of a rising political movement demanding change now.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me – Szívvel a falnak
Ha Mr. Darcy amerikai focizna...
Vanessa Mazur pontosan tudja, hogy helyesen cselekszik. Nem is érzi rosszul magát azért, mert felmondott. Asszisztensi/házvezetőnői/tündérkeresztmamai állását aszövetség legjobb védőjátékosa mellett mindig is átmenetinek szánta. Nagy tervei vannak, melyek között nem szerepelt az extra méretű alsógatyák mosása, legalábbis nem élete végéig.
Így amikor Aiden Graves bekopog az ajtaján, és azt kéri tőle, hogy jöjjön vissza hozzá, teljesen ledöbben.
A "winnipegi nagy fal"-ként ismert pasas két évig a köszönését sem fogadta, a születésnapjáról is megfeledkezett. Most pedig? Valami egészen elképesztő dologra akarja rávenni.
Mit válaszolhat az ember lánya annak a férfinak, aki megszokta, hogy mindig megszerzi, amit akar?
Hol a határ az ellenszenv és a szerelem között?
Tantrikusan izgalmas, hosszan bontakozó románc.
Éld át a tüzét!

Kandace Springs - The Women Who Raised Me CD
From the beginning of Kandace Springs' new album - as those warm, hand-plucked bass notes fill the air - you know you've arrived at something different. While 2018's Indigo found the Nashville singer-pianist bends into new genre forms, The Women Who Raised Me adheres sonically to jazz while Springs travels across a century of music, covering the women who inspired her while she was growing up, putting her own spin on songs associated with a dozen of the greatest female vocalists of all-time.
Tracklist:
1 Devil May Care (inspired by Diana Krall)
Feat. Christian McBride
2 Angel Eyes (inspired by Ella Fitzgerald)
Feat. Norah Jones
3 I Put A Spell On You (inspired by Nina Simone)
Feat. David Sanborn
4 Pearls (inspired by Sade)
Featuring Avishai Cohen

The Bookseller at the End of the World
A rich, immersive, funny and heartbreaking memoir of the charming bookseller who runs two tiny bookshops in the remote village of Manapouri in Fiordland, in the deep south of New Zealand.
Ruth Shaw weaves together stories of the characters who visit her bookshops, musings about favorite books, and bittersweet stories from her full and varied life.
She's sailed through the Pacific for years, been held up by pirates, worked at Sydney's Kings Cross with drug addicts and prostitutes, campaigned on numerous environmental issues, and worked the yacht Breaksea Girl with her husband, Lance.
Underlining all her wanderings and adventures are some very deep losses and long-held pain. Balancing that out is her beautiful love story with Lance, and her delightful sense of humor.
This will make you weep and make you laugh and make you want to read more books - and make you want to visit Ruth and her two wee bookshops.

Lacná kniha André Gide: A Life in the Present
One of the most important writers of the twentieth century, Andre Gide also led what was probably one of the most interesting lives our century has seen. Gide knew and corresponded with many of the major literary figures of his day, from Mallarme to Oscar Wilde. Though a Communist, his critical account of Soviet Russia in "Return from the USSR" earned him the enmity of the Left. A lifelong advocate of moral and political freedom and justice, he was a proscribed writer on the Vatican's infamous "Index." Self-published most of his life, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947, at the age of 77. An avowed homosexual, he nonetheless married his cousin, and though their marriage was unconsummated, at 53 he fathered a daughter for a friend. Alan Sheridan's book is a literary biography of Gide, an intimate portrait of the reluctantly public man, whose work was deeply and inextricably entangled with his life. Gide's life provides a unique perspective on our century, an idea of what it was like for one person to live through unprecedented technological change, economic growth and collapse, the rise of socialism and fascism, two world wars, a new concern for the colonial peoples and for women, and the astonishing hold of Rome and Moscow over intellectuals. Following Gide from his first forays among the Symbolists through his sexual and political awakenings to his worldwide fame as a writer, sage, and commentator on his age, Sheridan richly conveys the drama of a remarkable life; the depth, breadth, and vitality of an incomparable oeuvre; and the spirit of a time that both so aptly expressed.
