The Journals of Captain James Cook
Cook led three famous expeditions to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. In voyages that ranged from the Antarctic circle to the Arctic Sea, Cook charted Australia and the whole coast of New Zealand, and brought back detailed descriptions of the natural history of the Pacific. Accounts based on Cook's journals were issued at the time, but it was not until this century that the original journals were published in Beaglehole's definitive edition. The Journals tells the story of these voyages as Cook wanted it to be told, radiating the ambition, courage and skill which enabled him to carry out an unrivalled series of expeditions in dangerous waters.

Rolling Stones, The - Sticky Fingers Live ... 3LP+DVD
Kultovní Rolling Stones vydávají další záznam koncertu ze série From The Vault!
Nesmrtelná rocková legenda šedesátých let vydává 29. září pátý záznam ze série v minulosti nahrávaných koncertů From The Vault – Sticky Fingers: Live At The Fonda Theatre 2015, kde opět dokazují, že ještě rozhodně nepatří, a dlouho patřit nebudou, do starého železa. Záznam nabízí především klasické hity, jako je například Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Dead Flowers a mnoho dalších.
Nejnovější záznam zachycuje unikátní vystoupení, které se odehrálo 20. května 2015 v kalifornském Fonda Theatre, a kde Rolling Stones poprvé a zatím naposledy zahráli na počest vydání jeho reedice album Sticky Fingers od začátku do konce. Show otevírala turné kapely po Severní Americe nazvané Zip Code Tour, které v součtu trvalo dva měsíce. Intimní lazení divadelního prostředí Fonda Theatre kontrastovalo s pompézní atmosférou obřích stadionů naplněných fanoušky, které Rolling Stones nadále na trase šňůry čekali. Vystoupení se tak stalo nezapomenutelným pro ty, kterým se podařilo ulovit lístky, které byly z pochopitelných důvodů ve velmi omezeném počtu.
Set vyjma nezkráceného záznamu samotného představení obsahuje rozhovory s jednotlivými členy kapely, a jako bonus skladby, které jsou vyjmuty z koncertních filmů All Down The Line, When The Whip Comes Down a I Can’t Turn You Loose.
Rolling Stones jsou kapelou, která je od svého počátku v roce 1962, kdy byli protipólem svatouškovských Beatles, nedomyslitelným pilířem rockové hudby. O tom vypovídá i jejich zařazení do žebříčku padesáti nesmrtlených interpretů rock’n’rollu časopisu Rolling Stone, kde se umístili na 4. místě, dvojnásobný zisk Grammy za celoživotní dílo a uvedení do Rock’n’rollové síně slávy. Tvrdé jádro kapely tvoří na rytíře pasovaný zpěvák Mick Jagger a kytarový mág s životním příběhem rebela Keith Richards.

OWC House of the Seven Gables
In the final years of the seventeenth century in a small New England town, the venerable Colonel Pyncheon decides to erect a ponderously oak-framed and spacious family mansion. It occupies the spot where Matthew Maule, `an obscure man', had lived in
a log hut, until his execution for witchcraft. From the scaffold, Maule points his finger at the presiding Colonel and cries `God will give him blood to drink!' The fate of Colonel Pyncheon exerts a heavy influence on his descendants in the crumbling
mansion for the next century and a half. Hawthorne called his novel a `Romance', drawing on the Gothic tradition which embraced and exploited the thrills of the supernatural. Unlike The Scarlet Letter, with its unrelentingly dark view of human natur
e and guilt, Hawthorne sought to write `a more natural and healthy product of my mind', a story which would show guilt to be a trick of the imagination. The tension between fantasy and a new realism underpins the novel's descriptive virtuosity.

The Story of a Life
In 1943, Konstantin Paustovsky, the Soviet Union's most revered author, started out on his masterwork - The Story of a Life; a grand, novelistic memoir of a life lived on the fast-unfurling frontiers of Russian history. Eventually published over six volumes, it would cement Paustovsky's reputation as the voice of Russia around the world, and see him nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Newly translated by Guggenheim fellow Douglas Smith, Vintage Classics are proud to reintroduce the first three books of Paustovsky's epic for a whole new generation. Taking its reader from Paustovsky's Ukrainian youth, struggling with a family on the verge of collapse and the first flourishes of creative ambition, to his experiences working as a paramedic on Russia's frontlines and then as a journalist covering the country's violent spiral into revolution, The Story of a Life offers a portrait of an artistic journey like no other.
As richly dramatic as the great Russian novels of the 19th and 20th centuries, but all the more powerful for its first-hand testament to one of history's most chaotic eras, The Story of Life is a uniquely dazzling achievement of modern literature.
