Lacná kniha Collected Stories (-90%)
Comprising stories from her debut collection, Blood, and the critically acclaimed Where You Find It, this collection presents some of the best known works by one of Scotland’s “most gifted and original writers” (Times Literary Supplement).Each sharply observed, savagely accurate and brilliantly realized, the stories offer revelatory glimpses into everyday lives — from an unwelcome act of kindness at a bus stop, an evening walk across a London bridge, a welcome but uncomfortable summer break, to a brutal lesson in trust. Here also are unflinching portrayals of relationships: the struggle to love against the odds, the overpowering yearning to communicate, and the extraordinary epiphanies where the world falls away leaving only the lovers.These are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, funny and terrifyingly true, from a master of the form.

The Dragon in the West
An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history
How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the
origin of this creature?
The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakon of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of
dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.
Contemporary Art
An essential account of contemporary art that identifies key themes and approaches, providing the reader with a clear understanding of the contexts in which art is being made today.
Since the 1960s, contemporary art has overturned the accepted historical categorizations of what constitutes art, who creates it, and how it is represented and validated. This guide brings the subject up to date, exploring the notion of “contemporary” and what it means in the present as well as how it came about.
Curator and writer Natalie Rudd explains the many aspects of contemporary art, from its backstory to today, including different approaches, media, and recurring themes. Each chapter addresses a core question, explored via an accessible narrative and supported by an analysis of relevant works.
Rudd also looks at the role of the art market and its structures, including art fairs and biennales, and how these have developed since the millennium; the expanded role of the contemporary artist as personality; and how artists are untangling historical and contemporary narrativesto expose inequalities, the ethics of making, and the potential for art to improve the world and effect political change. A reference section offers advice on how to interpret contemporary art and where to access it.
Offering a multinarrative and international perspective, Contemporary Art discusses what motivates artists as they try to make sense of the world and their place within it. This guide promises to reduce your feelingsof intimidation when engaging with contemporary art, offering useful knowledge about diverse artists.

The Mistake
He's a player in more ways than one...
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game...
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat...and she plans on driving him wild.

Většina lidí si samozřejmě nadpřirozené noční hemžení kolem sebe neuvědomuje, ale Kal Leandros je člověk jen napůl. Temný rodokmen jeho otce překypuje děsivými nočními můrami – a on a celá jeho rasa z jiného světa po Kalovi nemilosrdně jdou. Proč? Kal se raději nezdržuje na jednom místě tak dlouho, aby to zjistil.

A Kal se brzy dozví, proč po něm touží, proč jej vždycky chtěli dostat: je totiž klíčem k rozpoutání pekla na zemi. Boj o Kalův život rozhodne o dalším osudu lidského světa…

Light Over Liskeard
An novel poking fun at modern mores and delving into what we should really treasure in our precarious lives. From the bestselling author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Sometimes we must look to the past to survive the future.
An entertaining novel about what really matters in life from the bestselling author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Q wants a simpler and safer life. His work as a quantum cryptographer for the government has led him to believe a crisis is imminent for civilisation and he's looking for somewhere to ride out what's ahead.
He buys a ruined farmhouse in Cornwall and begins to build his own self-sufficient haven. Over the course of this quest he meets the eccentric characters who already live on the moors nearby - including the park ranger in charge of the reintroduced lynxes and aurochs that roam the area; a holy man waiting for the second coming on top of a nearby hill; an Arthurian knight on horseback and the amorous ghost of an Edwardian woman who haunts the farmhouse.
As life in the cities gets more complicated, and our systems of electronic control begin to fall apart, Q flourishes in the wild Cornish countryside. His new way of life brings him back in tune with his teenage children, his ex-wife, and his own sense of who he is. He also grows close to Eva, energetic and enchanting, who is committed to her own quest for love and meaning.
In this entertaining and heart-warming novel Louis de Berni res pokes fun at modern mores, and makes us reconsider what is really precious in our short and precarious lives.
The Things We Love
Books, baseball cards, ceramic figurines, art, iPhones, clothing, cars, music, dolls, furniture, and even nature itself. If you're like most people, at some point in your life you've found yourself indulging in a love affair with some thing that brings you immense joy, comfort, or fulfillment. Why is it that we so often feel intense passion for objects? What does this tendency tell us about ourselves and our society?
In The Things We Love, Dr. Aaron Ahuvia presents astonishing discoveries that prove we are far less "rational" than we think when it comes to our possessions and hobbies. In fact, we have passionate relationships with the things we love, and these relationships are driven by influences deep within our culture and our biology. Some of our passions are sudden, obsessive, and fleeting; others are devoted and lifelong affairs. Some turn dark: we become hoarders, or would prefer to destroy certain objects rather than let anyone else own them. And as technology improves, becoming increasingly addictive, one wonders: might our lives become so dominated by our emotional ties to things that we lose interest in other people?
Packed with fascinating case studies, scientific analysis, and takeaways for living in a modern and ever-so-material world, The Things We Love offers a truly original and insightful look into our love for inanimate objects - and how better understanding these relationships can enrich and improve our lives.
Love, Pamela
Pamela Anderson's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation. Love, Pamela brings forth her true story, that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams.
Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unwittingly stylish parents, Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature, populating her world with misfits, apparitional friends, and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness, Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of, in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person's image and self-esteem.
Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a devoted mother and activist. Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, Pamela is telling her story, a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is a pensive, layered, and unforgettable memoir.

Der slowakische Diplomat Jozef Banáš erzählt die dramatische Geschichte aus der Zeit der politischen Turbulenzen in Mittel- und Osteuropa ab 1968.
Diese dramatische Geschichte schrieb zum gröten Teil das Leben selbst. Es handelt sich um eine bis zu
einem gewissen Ma autobiographische Geschichte des Protagonisten, des Slowaken Jozef Balaz, der im August 1968, ein paar Tage vor der sowjetischen Invasion in die Tschechoslowakei den deutschen Studenten, den Volleyballspieler Thomas Ankermann kenn
en lernte, der mit seiner Mannschaft in der Nacht von 20. auf den 21. August 1961 nach Deutschland zurückkehrte. In der gleichen Nacht kam über die sowjetisch-tschechoslowakische Grenze die Administrationskraft der Okkupationsarmee Alexandra ins Land
, die aus Liebe zu Jozef, den sie in Kiew im Sommer 1968 kennen gelernt hatte, freiwillig kam, um im Kampf gegen die angebliche Konterrevolution den Tschechen und Slowaken zu helfen. Der Autor beschreibt das erste Mal in der slowakischen Literatur di
e Invasion basierend auf den Gefühlen und Ansichten eines damaligen sowjetischen Soldaten.
Jozef besuchte im Sommer 1969 Thomas in Neuwied in Deutschland und lud ihn ein, ein Jahr später ihn und seine Familie in Bratislava zu besuchen. Der eiserne Vo
rhang wurde jedoch im Frühjahr 1970 für zwanzig Jahre zugezogen. Die Freundschaft von Thomas und Jozef wurde unterbrochen. Jozef wurde als tschechoslowakischer Diplomat in die ehemalige DDR gesandt, Thomas lebte in Westberlin und gehörte zu den Sympa
thisanten von Rudi Dutschke. Später trat er in die Politik ein. Beide befanden sich auf der Suche nach einander und ahnen nicht, dass sie wortwörtlich nur ein paar Meter von einander entfernt wohnten. Getrennt waren sie indes durch die Berliner Mauer
. Alexandra heiratete einen sowjetischen Leutnant, der während seines Einsatzes in Afghanistan starb. Alle drei Helden trafen sich im Jahr 2005 wieder unter unglaublichen Bedingungen. Thomas Besuch in Bratislava fand schlielich statt, auch wenn mit
einer siebenunddreiigjährigen Verspätung. Die Geschichte entstand aufgrund einer tatsächlichen Begebenheit, als die Tochter des Autors während ihres Aufenthaltes in München im Jahre 2005 den verloren geglaubten Freund des Vaters, Thomas, fand.
Im
Hintergrund des Romans der Ukrainerin, des Deutschen und des Slowaken entwickeln sich die Ereignisse im Zeitraum von 1968 bis 2005 und die Lebensgeschichten der Hauptdarsteller: Die Invasion der Armeen des Warschauer Paktes in die Tschechoslowakei, d

Mozart in Motion
Mozart is one of the most familiar and beloved icons of our culture, but how much do we really understand of his music, and what can it reveal to us of the great composer? In exhilarating, transformative prose, Patrick Mackie mixes biographical storytelling with deep dives into the experience of listening to Mozart''s music to reveal a musician in dialogue with culture at its most sweepingly progressive, when Europe was caught between two historical worlds.
We follow Mozart from his adolescence in Salzburg to his early death; from his close and rivalrous relationship with his father to his romantic attachments; from his hugely successful operas to intimate compositions on the keyboard. Mackie leads the reader through the major and lesser-known moments of the composer''s life and brings alive the teeming, swivelling, modernity of eighteenth-century Europe. In this era of rococo painting, surrealist aesthetics and political turbulence, Mozart reckoned with a searing talent which threatened to overwhelm him, all the while pushing him to extraordinary feats of musicianship.
Returned to the volatility of the eighteenth century, we hear Mozart''s music in all its audacious vividness, gaining fresh perspectives on why his works still move us so intensely today, as we continue to search for a modernity he imagined into being.
