The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel
The Librarian of Auschwitz is ideal for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice, this graphic novel is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. Based on a true story, it is an extraordinary novel of courage and hope by Antonio Iturbe and Loreto Aroca.
'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns . . .'
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezin ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the 'living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be 'borrowed' to educate the children in the camp.
But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor . . .
Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.

1794: The City Between the Bridges
The year is 1794. A young nobleman, Eric Three Roses, languishes in hospital. Some think he would be just at home in the madhouse across the road. Ridden with guilt, he spends his nights writing down memories of his lost love who died on their wedding night. Her mother also mourns her and when no one listens to her suspicions, she begs the aid of the only person who will listen: Jean Mickel Cardell, the one-armed watchman.
Cecil Winge is six months in the ground but when his younger brother Emil seeks out the watchman to retrieve his brother's missing pocket watch, Cardell enlists his help to discover what really happened at Three Roses' estate that night. But, unlike his dead brother, the younger Winge is an enigma, and Cardell soon realises that he may be more hindrance than help. And when they discover that a mysterious slave trader has been running Three Roses' affairs, it is a race against time to discover the truth before it's too late.
In 1794, the second installment of Niklas Natt och Dag's historical noir trilogy, we are reunited with Mickel Cardell, Anna Stina Knapp, and the bustling world of late eighteenth century Stockholm from The Wolf and the Watchman. The city is about to see its darkest days yet as veneers crack and the splendour of old gives way to what is hiding in the city's nooks and crannies.

Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there.
Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.

Knopfler Mark - Down The Road Wherever (Limited) 4LP
Album obsahuje 14 nových písní, které čerpají mimo jiné z dávných dní, kdy Mark trávil čas s bývalou kapelou Dire Straits v Deptfordu. Mark i nadále patří k umělcům, kteří mají oko básníka, jenž umožňuje vidět detaily, které se následně projikují do hlubokých melodických skladeb, které vypadají jako z oboru osobní psychogeografie.
Nahrávání desky se již tradičně účastnili špičkoví muzikanti, které Mark přesvědčil, ať do písně vloží vlastní otisk, který však nesmí narušit původní záměr a atmosféru skladby. Produkce se ujal sám Knopfler spolu s Guyem Fletcherem.
Mark Knopfler za svou kariéru vydal osm studiových sólových alb, spolupracoval s Chetem Atkinsem nebo Emmylou Harris, složil soundtrack pro Princeznu Nevěstu, Místního hrdinu a Altamiru a produkoval desky mimo jiné pro Boba Dylana a Randyho Newmana. Je držitelem Řádu britského impéria a prestižní ceny Ivor Novellos za celoživotní přínos hudbě.

Korn - The Serenity In Suffering CD
KDO: Metalisté z kalifornského Bakersfieldu patří k nejváženějším a zároveň nejpopulárnějším kapelám tvrdého rocku. Často jsou označováni za průkopníky nu-metalu, tedy stylu, jenž kombinuje metal s prvky jiných hudebních stylů, např. hip hopem, elektronikou, grunge, ale i folkem. Korn vznikli v roce 1993, o rok později už debutovali eponymní deskou. Masové popularity skupina dosáhla koncem devadesátých let, kdy natočila alba Follow The Leader (1998) a Issues (1999). Obě nahrávky dobyly vrchol albového žebříčku v Americe. Úspěšné tažení Korn pokračovalo i napříč další dekádou, která nabídla desky Untouchables (2002), Take A Look In The Mirror (2003) a See You On The Other Side (2005). Korn prodali více než 35 milionů desek a získali řadu ocenění.
CO: Dvanácté studiové album je podle kytaristy Briana Welche nejtvrdší a nejintenzivnější deskou Korn za dlouhá léta. Album vychází hned v několika formátech - k dispozici jsou standardní CD nebo LP a rovněž Deluxe verze CD s dvěma bonusovými nahrávkami.

The Poppy War
A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic.
When Rin aced the Keju - the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.
But surprises aren't always good.
Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away...

The Seventh Cross
A rediscovered German classic novel from 1942, The Seventh Cross is both a gripping escape story and a powerful novel of resistance.
'At once a suspenseful manhunt story and a knowing portrait of the perils of ordinary life in Hitler's Germany, The Seventh Cross is not only an important novel, but an important historical document. This new, unabridged translation is a genuine publishing event' JOSEPH KANON, author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin
'It was [Seghers] who taught my generation and anyone who had an ear to listen after that not-to-be-forgotten war to distinguish right from wrong. The Seventh Cross shaped me; it sharpened my vision' Gunter Grass
'A masterpiece. Written in the midst of terror, but with such clarity, such acuity; Seghers is a writer of rare insight' Rachel Seiffert, author of A Boy in Winter
Seven prisoners escape from Westhofen concentration camp. Seven crosses are erected in the grounds and the commandant vows to capture the fugitives within a week. Six men are caught quickly, but George Heisler slips through his pursuers' fingers and it becomes a matter of pride to track him down, at whatever cost.
Who can George trust? Who will betray him? The years of fear have changed those he knew best: his brother is now an SS officer; his lover turns him away. Hunted, injured and desperate, time is running out for George, and whoever is caught aiding his escape will pay with their life.
The Seventh Cross powerfully documents the insidious rise of a fascist regime - the seething paranoia, the sudden arrests, the silence and fear.
