Both works are new translations, specially commissioned for the World's Classics series.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Lacná kniha Judgement of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism (-70%)
In 1863, the French painter Ernest Meissonier was one of the most famous artists in the world. The darling of the 'Salon' - that all important public art exhibition held biannually in Paris - he painted historical subjects in meticulous detail and sold his works for astronomical sums to collectors who included Napoleon III himself. Manet, on the other hand, was struggling in obscurity. Famous today as the father of Impressionism, when this books opens he was known only as the sloppy painter of a few much-derided canvases depicting absinthe-drinking beggars and bourgeois gentlemen in top hats. With his usual narrative brilliance and eye for telling detail, Ross King has taken the parallel careers of Meissonier and Manet and used them as a lens for their times. Beginning with the year that Manet exhibited his ground-breaking Dejeuner sur l'herbe and ending in 1874 with the first 'Impressionist' exhibition, King plunges us into Parisian life - on the streets and in the corridors of power - during a ten-year period full of social and political ferment. These were the years in which Napoleon III's autocratic and pleasure-seeking Second Empire fell from its heights into the ignominy of the Franco-Prussian war and the ensuing Paris Commune of 1871. But it was also a period in which a group of artists, with Manet in the vanguard began to challenge the establishment by refusing to paint classical or historical subjects and, instead, turning to the landscapes and ordinary people they saw around them. Benign as such paintings might seem today, they helped change the course of history. The struggle between Meissonier and Manet to get their paintings exhibited in pride of place at the Salon was not just about art, it was about how to see the world.

The Oxford Shakespeare: The Tragedy of Macbeth (Oxford World ´s Classics)
A play of darkness originally conceived for daylight performance at the Globe, Macbeth is a tour de force of theatrical illusion from the supernatural to mere delusion. In this fully annotated edition, Brooke investigates the great appeal of the play's use of illusion, relating its changing theatrical fortunes to changes within society and in theatrical conditions. Offering a fresh reconsideration of textual problems, the book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play within aesthetic history.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

The Lion Above the Door
From Onjali Q. Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes an incredible story about missing histories and the concept of a universal family, told with humour and heart.
Leo and his best friend Sangeeta are the odd ones out in their school. But as Leo's dad is always telling him, it's because they're special. Only thing is, if they're so special, how come they never see anyone who looks like them in their school history books?
Then, on a class trip to a nearby cathedral, Leo's attention is drawn to a large marble slab high above the doors of the hall. Right there, bang in the middle of a list of war heroes, Leo finds himself staring at something incredible: his own name.
Desperate to know who this other Leo was, the two friends embark on a search. And together, they begin to uncover missing stories from the past, ones which they are determined to put back into their rightful place in the pages of history.
Touching on themes of historical racism, The Lion Above the Door shines a light on the stories our history books have yet to contain and the power of friendships that can last through generations.
The first edition of this book also contains a special collection of historical photos and stories of real life forgotten heroes from World War Two.

Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses (Deluxe Edition) CD+DVD
Depeche Mode je hudobná skupina, ktorá bola v roku 1980 založená v Basildone v Anglicku. Skupinu dnes tvorí: Dave Gahan (spev a spolautorstvo skladieb)a Martin Gore (klávesy, gitara, spev a hlavný autor skladieb). Ich hudobný štýl by sa dal najlepšie charakterizovať ako synth rock, alebo taktiež synthpop (používanie umelých zvukov, vytváraných syntetizátormi a samplermi). Stali sa jednou z najvytrvalejších a najúspešnejších hudobných skupín, ktoré sa objavili počas New Wave a New Romantic éry. Vďaka svojej inovatívnej tvorbe, nahrávacím technikám a popularizácii vzorkovania (angl. sampling), ovplyvnili mnoho súčasných hudobníkov. Ich album Violator z roku 1990 je považovaný za klenot elektronickej hudby. Hoci sú významní pre modernú techno scénu, zostávajú naďalej pri alternatívnej hudbe. Až 54 skladieb skupiny Depeche Mode sa dostalo do rebríčka UK Singles Chart a 17 ich albumov bolo britských rebríčkoch umiestnených do Top 10. Skupina Depeche Mode má na celom svete predaných viac než sto miliónov hudobných nosičov. Časopis Q zaradili Depeche Mode do svojho zoznamu „50 kapiel, ktoré zmenili svet!“Televízia VH1 ich dala na 98. miesto svojho zoznamu „Stovky najväčších umelcov všetkých čias“. V decembri 2016 dal magazín Billboard skupinu Depeche Mode na desiate miesto zoznamu najlepších umelcov klubovej tanečnej hudobnej scény.Skupina Depeche Mode bola nominovaná do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame v rokoch 2017 a 2018 a uvedená do nej bola v roku 2020.

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle
Toru Okada's cat has disappeared and this has unsettled his wife, who is herself growing more distant every day. Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has started receiving. As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.

The Hardest Fall. A legerősebb érzés
Pontosan ez történik. Kezdek belezúgni. Kezdünk egymásba zúgni. Totálisan. Amikor két ember első ízben találkozik, egymásra néznek, mosolyognak, köszönnek. Alapesetben ez ilyen egyszerű. Csak épp nem nálam. Amikor először találkoztam Dylan Reeddel, a szemem egy másik testrészére fókuszált. Tudod, én egy borzasztóan félszeg lány vagyok. Rémes, ahogyan képes vagyok minden szamárságot összehordani! Arról nem is beszélve, milyen mesteri szinten csinálok bolondot magamból a srác előtt, aki tetszik nekem. Akkor még semmit nem tudtam róla. Mindegy, miket zagyválok, gondoltam, hisz úgysem fogok többet találkozni vele.
Kiderült, hogy tévedtem.
A futballcsapat sztárja, azon kevesek egyike, aki várhatóan bejut az NFL-be, a campus minden szegletében belém botlott. Felajánlkoztam neki, aztán elszaladtam, majd megtámadtam egy konyhai eszközzel, és… Uh, talán el sem kellene mesélnem, miket tettem még. Bár az én esetemben ez mind-mind… normálisnak számít. De végül eljött a pillanat, amikor már nem rejtőzhettem tovább – nem mintha Dylan hagyta volna. Most, hogy nap mint nap összefutunk, látja, hogy alig bírom levenni róla a szemem. Rám mosolyog, és azt mondja, lenyűgözik a szeszélyeim. Azt hiszi, barátok leszünk. Én meg úgy érzem, ő ennél sokkal több nekem. Minél jobban megismerem, annál kevésbé érdekel, hogy nem zúghatok bele.
