Lacná kniha XL Tahara, Arch. FindeSiecle (-70%)
At the turn of the 20th century, architecture took an imaginative leap. As new construction materials and technologies met such far-flung stimuli as the Far East, nirvana, and the unleashed unconscious of Freudian psychoanalysis, buildings by the likes of Gaudí, Horta, Hoffmann, Loos, and Mackintosh instilled structure with the sinuous lines of nature, surfaces with a fairy-tale shimmer, and spaces with an ethereal wash of light or shadowy, mysterious hush.
For this dramatic portfolio, printed for the first time ever in a book with five colors including gold, the late architectural photographer Keiichi Tahara traveled across Europe to present the finest examples of this Art Nouveau architecture. From the glamorous façade of the Grand Hotel Europa to the elaborate sweep of a staircase or the perfect poise of a single chandelier, Tahara captures the intricate details as much as the holistic spatial effects of these ambitious, marvelous structures. With an eye attuned to the style’s organic detailing, he surveys its floral patterns, vine-like balustrades, and the soft, hollow interiors that seem to summon us into some primordial place.
Drenched in sunshine or draped in dramatic shadows, Tahara’s pictures excel in evoking not only the unrivaled aura of these buildings but also the particular, fin-de-siecle spirit of their age, caught on the axis of a century, and characterized by reflection and yearning, as much as technological, philosophical, and political advance. Texts by Riichi Miyake accompany Tahara’s pictures to describe the buildings’ floor plans, designs, and the broader context of their dreamlike environments.

The Scum Villain´s Self-Saving System 1: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong
The blockbuster danmei/Boys’ Love novels from China that inspired the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English!
This hilarious story of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now in English, for the very first time.
Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his dominion over both the Human and Demon Realms and his hundreds-strong harem, he is truly the most powerful protagonist...in a trashy webnovel series!
At least, that's what Shen Yuan believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a bout of rage leads to his sudden death, Shen Yuan is reborn into the world of the novel in the body of Shen Qingqiu--the beautiful but cruel teacher of a young Luo Binghe. While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist. The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain!
This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming views--including the English version on YouTube through Tencent Video. As the first novel series by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu to spur a global multimedia franchise, this incredibly fun tale led the way to her future blockbusters in the danmei genre: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and feature a translation by Faelicy (faelicy) & Lily (lily_ocho).
Lacná kniha Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (-70%)
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'

Očarujúca
Krása je podstatou ženy. Toto tvrdenie sa nám môže zdať nepravdivé v čase mnohých súťaží miss krásy, v čase, keď sa určujú ideálne miery, ktoré sú pre mnohé ženy nedosiahnuteľné. A aj v srdci samotných žien je zmätok, keď ich krása je na jednej strane obdivovaná, vyhľadávaná, žiadaná, na druhej strane napádaná, zneužívaná, využívaná, popieraná... „Si priveľmi..., si primálo...“
Boris - The Adventures of Boris Johnson
THE MAKING OF A PRIME MINISTER
'My biography of the year' Michael Crick
'The scariest thing I've read since Silence of the Lambs' Ken Livingstone
A brilliant and definitive biography of Boris Johnson, the politician who risked his career to lead the Brexit campaign, won the referendum, and finally became the new prime minister.
In Andrew Gimson's acclaimed biography of the most colourful British politician of modern times, we are given a comprehensive portrait of the man. Despite tabloid controversies which led to him being dismissed from Michael Howard's shadow cabinet, Boris bounced back to win two terms as London mayor. It was a remarkable tribute to his huge personal popularity, and he was at the heart of things when London showcased itself during the 2012 Olympics.
This updated edition of the book is a comprehensive insight into the dramatic political events of 2016. After Boris decided to join the Brexit campaign, which he led with Michael Gove, against all the predictions he secured a historic vote to leave the EU. Within a few tumultuous and unprecedented days, David Cameron resigned as prime minister, Boris was installed as favourite to succeed him - only for Gove to torpedo his challenge, and seemingly end his career. Yet when Theresa May took charge, she surprised many by appointing Boris as Foreign Secretary.
Gimson's superb account not only takes the reader behind the scenes, it vividly brings to life one of the most extraordinary political careers in our history.

The Plus One
It started as a fake date for the wedding from hell...
Some facts are indisputable:
Gravity exists.
Indira doesn't like Jude.
Jude doesn't like Indira.
Indira has everything together: an amazing job, a boyfriend, a car. What more could a late twenty-something want? Well, not walking in on her boyfriend with another woman, for one thing.
Her childhood enemy, Jude, has nothing together. Having spent three years travelling the world to treat emergencies and humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend's wedding has him struggling to readjust.
Thrust into an elaborate (and ridiculously drawn out) wedding, Jude and Indira - who can't seem to escape her ex and his new girlfriend - are both soon at breaking point.
Their solution? A bargain to be each other's fake dates.
But what happens when the forced proximity and fake displays of affection start to feel a bit too... real?
The next sparkling and swoony enemies-to-lovers rom-com from the author of the TikTok-hit A Brush with Love and Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake.
The Myth of Normal
'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing'
Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs. So what is 'normal' when it comes to health?
Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Mate has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance.
Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Mate connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing.
Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other and our authentic selves.

Rule 2: If you’re going to use a forged passport, make sure you trust the sketchy dude who made your papers.

This is the final installment of The Tale of Bryant Adams. Cheery triumph is not guaranteed.

Swamp Thing - Bažináč 6 - Shledání
Po neočekávaném útoku v Gothamu se Bažináč zachránil jen tím, že vrhl své vědomí přes celou galaxii. Probudil se na vzdálené modré planetě plné života, ovšem bez inteligentních tvorů. V naprosté izolaci Bažináč skoro zešílel, nakonec se však znovu vrhl do vesmíru v naději, že se nakonec dostane domů.
Když nyní skáče ohromnou prázdnotou (včetně zastávky na Rannu, adoptivním světě Adama Strange), Bažináč zjišťuje, že život dokáže být zvláštnější a fantastičtější, než si kdy představoval. Nic ovšem nemůže být báječnější než jeho konečný cíl – návrat domů a shledání s milovanou Abby.
V posledním dílu pod taktovkou Alana Moora se dokončí i Bažináčova proměna: z nelidského monstra se stane jeden z nejsilnějších elementálů v dějinách Země.

Purple Hearts
When a soldier with a troubled past and a struggling songwriter agree to a marriage of convenience for the military benefits, neither expects much after saying “I do.” Then tragedy strikes, and the line between what’s real and what’s pretend begins to blur in this smart and surprising romance perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jojo Moyes.
Cassie Salazar and Luke Morrow couldn’t be more different. Sharp-witted Cassie works nights at a bar in Austin, Texas to make ends meet while pursuing her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. Luke is an Army trainee, about to ship out for duty, who finds comfort in the unswerving discipline of service. But a chance encounter at Cassie’s bar changes the course of both their lives.
Cassie is drowning in medical bills after being diagnosed with diabetes. When she runs into her old friend Frankie, now enlisted in the Army, she proposes a deal: she’ll marry him in exchange for better medical insurance and they can split the increased paycheck that comes with having a “family.” When Frankie declines, his attractive but frustratingly intense friend Luke volunteers to marry Cassie instead. What she doesn’t know is that he has desperate reasons of his own to get married. In this unforgettable love story, Cassie and Luke must set aside their differences to make it look like a real marriage...unless, somewhere along the way, it becomes one...
Povedz mi, čo ťa bolí a ja ti poviem prečo
Autor vychádza najmä z tradičnej čínskej medicíny. Najprv analyzuje náš organizmus vo všeobecnosti, a potom uvádza prehľadne jednotlivé časti, orgány a systémy spolu s vysvetlením ich významu, ako aj významu v prípade ich ochorenia či poranenia.
Alergie, bolesti v krku, zápaly, cysty, bolesti krížov, migréna, bolesti uší, nadváha, ischias, kŕče, závraty, očné choroby, rakovina a mnohé iné – to všetko sú prejavy väčšieho či menšieho napätia, nesúladu, nerovnováhy, nevedomého rozporu či potláčaného konfliktu, ktorý vedome nevnímame, alebo možno aj vnímame, ale nechceme sa ním zaoberať, a tak nás naň upozorňuje naše vlastné telo. Naše telo hovorí (ba priam kričí) o tom, čím trpí naše vnútro. A táto kniha nás učí tejto reči tela rozumieť. Učí nás pochopiť určité mechanizmy, zákonitosti a súvislosti. Bolesti a choroby, ktoré postihujú naše telo, nie sú dielom náhody či ranami osudu, ale jasnými signálmi, ktoré sa nám snažia povedať, že sa nám do cesty postavila nejaká prekážka.
Keď sa naučíme vnímať človeka (vrátane seba samých) ako jeden celok, kde všetko súvisí so všetkým, zistíme, že väzby a spojitosti medzi telom, telesnými orgánmi a ich funkciou na jednej strane a psychikou na strane druhej nie sú žiadna mágia, ba ani ezoterika, ale že ide o čisto biologické vyjadrenie nášho stavu. Kľúčom k tomuto pochopeniu je aj táto publikácia.
