Lacná kniha Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (-90%)
This Printz Honor Book is a tender, honest exploration of identity ("Publishers Weekly") that distills lyrical truths about family and friendship. Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be."

Cesta k pólu A Journey to the Pole Kora Kailash DVD
„Fascinující osobitý dokument, výborné spojení obrazu a zvuku…..., některé zvukové momenty se vsákly do obrazu natolik, že jejich výsledná kombinace na mne v určitých chvílích působila až hypnoticky! Je to dobrodružství, které vás určitě vtáhne a pohltí!“ řekl po shlédnutí filmu Shiva Dhakal , ředitel královské horolezecko- trekingové společnosti RMT v Káthmandú (Nepál). DVD ´CESTA – Journey´ vzniklo jako další realizační výstup projektu „Z PÓLU NA PÓL“, jehož zakladatelem je Oldřich Bubák. Ten je zároveň kameramanem i producentem tohoto filmu. (Pozn. Oldřich Bubák je prvním Čechem, který došel na severní pól {1996} a jižní pól {1999} pěšky na lyžích) DVD – Journey´ je uspořádáno do dvou částí. První, s názvem ´CESTA K PÓLU´, je cestou autora k jižnímu pólu v Antarktidě, tedy ke geografickému pólu. Druhá, s názvem ´KORA KAILASH´, je cestou autora k duchovnímu pólu, k nejposvátnější hoře světa - Mt. Kailash, ležící v západním Tibetu . Oba filmy bez použití komentáře, doprovázené velmi citlivě zkomponovanou hudbou, jsou v souladu s ní členěné do jednoduchých ´vět´, mající svůj logický a emotivní smysl; mimořádná, fascinující bohatost obrazu jde jakoby proti hudbě a činí z filmu podmanivou podívanou. DVD je ve dvou jazykových mutacích a je doplněno o bonusy v podobě rozhovorů a osobních vyjádření aktérů včetně fotogalerie - výběru unikátních barevných fotografií z mnoha expedic Oldřich Bubáka do Antarktidy a do Tibetu. DVD “CESTA – Journey“ lze doporučit jako zcela mimořádný zážitek všem náročným divákům.

Zakázaná záhrada
Zuzanu Kuglerovú vníma široká čitateľská obec najmä ako prozaičku. Autorka sa môže hrdiť tým, že jej knihy, ktoré oscilujú medzi žánrom povestí a fantasy, oslovili tisícky čitateľov a pravidelne sa umiestňujú na čelných miestach v čitateľských rebríčkoch. Avšak druhým pólom, takpovediac bytostnou emocionálnou časťou Zuzany Kuglerovej, je poézia. Práve preto má na svojom konte niekoľko kvalitných básnických zbierok, pričom jej najnovší poetický opus znesie aj tie najprísnejšie kritéria.
Dá sa vtesnať niekoľko desaťročí bolestivo prežitého života do jednej zbierky? Zrejme áno. Autorka Zakázanej záhrady to dokazuje priamo básňou a vierou v slovo a svoj básnický talent. Na širokej ploche vyše stosedemdesiatich strán prechádza spomienkami, tým zázračným ale zároveň trýznivým vnútorným albumom citov, obrazov a situácií, ktorý nosíme v sebe, avšak iba poniektorí to vieme pretaviť do umeleckého tvaru. Zuzana Kuglerová sa neschováva za postmoderné čarovanie so slovami, nezahmlieva to čo chce povedať, ale hľadá správny zrozumiteľný jazyk a ním komunikuje s čitateľom. Úprimná až na dreň, kritická aj sebakritická, milujúca, strácajúca, hľadajúca. „Neviem, kam zmizli staré mamy, / Čo mali v očiach teplo oráčin / Vo vráskach vôňu čerstvej slamy / A v srdci biely obláčik.“ píše autorka vyznanie – spomienku, aby úplne v inom emocionálnom rozpoložení ukončila báseň Šťastné fotografie s podtitulom „Pätnásť rokov v záchodovej mise“ mrazivým konštatovaním: (Ak som niekedy prežila peklo, tak som ho zažila v cirkvi). A tak by sme mohli pokračovať v prípade básní so sociálnou tematikou, básní hľadajúcich dobro v ľuďoch či citlivo mapujúcich svet, ktorý nás obklopuje. Vstúp teda čitateľ do Zakázanej záhrady. Je to skrátka záhrada, v ktorej rastú kvety skutočnej poézie.

Inside a Pearl: My Years in Paris
Edmund White was forty-three years old when he moved to Paris in 1983. He spoke no French and knew just two people in the entire city, but soon discovered the anxieties and pleasures of mastering a new culture. White fell passionately in love with Paris, its beauty in the half-light and eternal mists; its serenity compared with the New York he had known. Intoxicated and intellectually stimulated by its culture, he became the definitive biographer of Jean Genet, wrote lives of Marcel Proust and Arthur Rimbaud, and became a recipient of the French Order of Arts and Letters. Frequent trips across the Channel to literary parties in London begot friendships with Julian Barnes, Alan Hollinghurst, Martin Amis and many others. When he left, fifteen years later, to return to the US, he was fluent enough to broadcast on French radio and TV, and as a journalist had made the acquaintance of everyone from Yves St Laurent to Catherine Deneuve to Michel Foucault. He'd also developed a close friendship with an older woman, Marie-Claude, through whom he'd come to a deeper understanding of French life. Inside a Pearl vividly recalls those fertile years, and offers a brilliant examination of a city and a culture eternally imbued with an aura of enchantment.

Lacná kniha Sting:Back on the Beat
Touted by fans for his charisma and scorned by critics for his egomania, Sting is one of the most commercially successful and most controversial rock artists performing today. A schoolteacher from Newcastle, Sting soared to international fame and the top of the seventies rock charts with The Police, one of the most popular bands on the planet. After the band folded, he emerged as a solo start with hit singles, critically acclaimed albums, worldwide sell-out tours, and a host of Grammys, not to mention raves for his work in film and on Broadway. Yet Sting's career has been turbulent-an accomplished jazz bassist and vastly talented musician, he has been charged with playing punk and reggae for careerist convenience. He has been accused of single-handedly breaking up The Police at the peak of its rock band powers. And his much publicized work on behalf of Amnesty International and the Brazilian rainforests has been equally admired and disdained. In this updated edition of the first full-length biography of Sting, Christopher Sandford examines the substance behind the cliche, the creative disagreements--and physical violence--among The Police; the musical intelligence that produced such albums as Nothing Like the Sun and Ten Summoner's Tales; Sting's ecological campaigning and financial dealings; and his numerous sexual entanglements. Here is Sting, the legend, the man, the political activist, the performer who continues to fascinate the world.

Lacná kniha Dva kavalíři z Verony - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Dva kavalíři z Verony patří k Shakespearovým raným komediím. Hra vnikla někdy v letech 1590-1594. Má se za to, že byla napsána až po Komedii omylů a Zkrocení zlé ženy, ale s ohledem na jistou jednoduchost výstupů, v nichž se v převážné míře střídají monology či promluvy stranou jedné osoby s dialogy dvou postav, ji někteří pokládají za vůbec první Shakespearovou hru.

The Courage To Be Disliked
The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness. The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.
It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom.
Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you.

The Betrayals
From the Number 1 bestselling author of THE BINDINGIf everything in your life was based on a lieWould you risk it all to tell the truth?At Montverre, an exclusive academy tucked away in the mountains, the best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu: an arcane and mysterious contest. Leo Martin was once a student there, but lost his passion for the grand jeu following a violent tragedy. Now he returns in disgrace, exiled to his old place of learning with his political career in tatters.
Montverre has changed since he studied there, even allowing a woman, Claire Dryden, to serve in the grand jeu's highest office of Magister Ludi. When Leo first sees Claire he senses an odd connection with her, though he's sure they have never met before. Both Leo and Claire have built their lives on lies.
And as the legendary Midsummer Game, the climax of the year, draws closer, secrets are whispering in the walls...

Down and Out in Paris and London
Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's classic account of life on the streets. To be poor and destitute in 1920s Paris and London was to experience life at its lowest ebb. George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. By day, he tramped the streets, often passing time with 'screevers' or street artists, drunks and other hobos. At night, he stood in line for a bed in a 'spike' or doss house, where a cup of sugary tea, a hunk of stale bread and a blanket were the only sustenance and comfort on offer. Down and Out in Paris and London is George Orwell's haunting account of the streets and those who have no choice but to
