The Holy Knight's Dark Road: Volume 2
After trekking through a labyrinth and coming back in one piece — with a new friend, to boot — Sain finally has time to actually study at Jenifa. In its hallowed chambers of learning, he applies himself to the acquisition of dark magic. A month later, he emerges......Still utterly worthless at dark magic.On top of that, his teachers have given up on him, and his classmates are calling him the Darkness Dork.Just when despair begins to set in, a chance encounter with an enigmatic girl brings him new hope. Her features are unmistakably those of a dark elf — known for their natural affinity for dark magic. He immediately asks to be her apprentice, only to be coldly rejected.This is Sain, though, and “giving up” just isn't in his vocabulary. Through his tireless — and arguably obnoxious — efforts, he chips away at her armor of indifference. Little does he know, though, that an upcoming school event will put their budding friendship to the ultimate test.

MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
The unauthorized, behind-the-scenes story of the most popular, lucrative, and transformative cultural phenomenon of our time: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. But what accounts for its stunning rise?
In MCU, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As they delve into the studio's key moments - from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney's acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige's embrace of streaming TV - the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full - and an essential, effervescent account of popular culture.

The House of Fortune
The House of Fortune is the sequel to Jessie Burton's million-copy bestseller The Miniaturist. Set in the golden city of Amsterdam in 1705, it is a story of fate and ambition, secrets and dreams, and one young woman's determination to rule her own destiny.
Thea Brandt is turning eighteen, and is ready to welcome adulthood with open arms. At the theatre, Walter, the love of her life, awaits her, but at home in the house on the Herengracht, winter has set in - her father Otto and Aunt Nella argue endlessly, and the Brandt family are selling their furniture in order to eat. On Thea's birthday, also the day that her mother Marin died, the secrets from the past begin to overwhelm the present.
Nella is desperate to save the family and maintain appearances, to find Thea a husband who will guarantee her future, and when they receive an invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball, she is overjoyed - perhaps this will set their fortunes straight. And indeed, the ball does set things spinning: new figures enter their life, promising new futures. But their fates are still unclear, and when Nella feels a strange prickling sensation on the back of her neck, she wonders if the miniaturist has returned for her . . .
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.

Rolling Stones, The - Voodoo Lounge Uncut 3LP
Kultovní rocková kapela Rolling Stones vydává nově sestříhaný, remixovaný a remasterovaný archivní koncertní film Voodoo Lounge Uncut, který byl natočený 25. listopadu 1994 v Miami na stadionu Joe Robbieho během světového turné k desce Voodoo Lounge. Mezi hosty se objeví například Sheryl Crow, Robert Cray nebo Bo Diddley. Nová verze filmu obsahuje deset dosud nezveřejněných vystoupení a pět bonusových písní z Giants Stadium v New Jersey, které v Miami nezazněly. Série nahrávek, která zobrazuje Rolling Stones na koncertní šňůře v polovině devadesátých let, vyjde 16. listopadu.
Mezi skladby, které se na Voodoo Lounge Uncut objeví, patří například Not Fade Away, You Got Me Rocking, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Sympathy For The Devil nebo Jumpin' Jack Flash.
Voodoo Lounge Tour začalo v dubnu 1994, trvalo přibližně rok a obsahovalo 134 koncertů na šesti kontinentech, které shlédlo přes 6, 5 milionu fanoušků, čímž se turné stalo svého času vůbec největším. Voodoo Lounge album se v roce svého vydání stalo bezkonkurenčním číslem jedna po celém světě. V roce 1995 dokonce vyhrálo Grammy za nejlepší rockové album.
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 na čtvrté místo v žebříčku padesáti nesmrtelných interpretů rock'n'rollu časopisu Rolling Stone, 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.
