Případ levného bytu - The Adventure of the Cheap Flat
Pokud se něco zdá být příliš výhodné, než aby to byla pravda, je to přinejmenším podivné. Když si manželé Robinsonovi pronajmou byt v londýnské čtvrti Knightsbridge za čtvrtinu obvyklé ceny, vzbudí to pozornost kapitána Hastingse, který případ levného bytu předá k vyřešení svému příteli Herculu Poirotovi. V povídce Záhada lovecké chaty brání Herculu Poirotovi chřipka zúčastnit se vyšetřování případu. Dokáže ovšem sám Hastings zjistit, proč cizinec, který navštívil pana Pace před jeho zavražděním, odešel oknem? V povídce Cikánka má Dickie Carpenter fóbii z cikánů, vyplývající z tajemného prožitku z dětství. Má se nového setkání znovu obávat, nebo může být tentokrát jeho spásou? V poslední povídce Lampa s tajemným nádechem slyší malý chlapec v bytě, kam se se svojí matkou právě nastěhoval, záhadné kroky a hlasy jiného chlapce. Mohou jeho vjemy souviset s osudy bývalých nájemníků?

Turtles All the Way Down is about lifelong friendship, the intimacy of an unexpected reunion, Star Wars fan fiction, and tuatara.

Arkham City - The Order of the World
The Joker's attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and only a handful of surviving staff-a few nurses, a gravely injured security guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is believed that several of the asylum's patients escaped and scurried off into the dark nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these Arkhamites walk among us, and it's up to the Asylum's one remaining doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round up her former patients. Meet these Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of perfection, a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who must devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a being unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a boy who seeks the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees them all for who they are. And witness the avenging angel who stalks them. This volume collects Arkham City: The Order of the World #1-6, the complete story by Dan Watters and Dani.

Bowie David - The Mercury Demos (Black Vinyl Album Box) LP
KDO: Jedna z největších osobnostní světové hudby, proslulý hudební chameleon a průkopník hned několika hudebních směrů. Za svůj život vydal tento britský umělec rovných dvacet pět alb, z nichž velká část se zařadila do zlatého fondu populární hudby a ovlivnila hned několik generací hudebníků z několika hudebních žánrů. Své poslední album Black Star David Bowie vydal 8. ledna 2016 v den svých šedesátých devátých narozenin a pouhé dva dny před svou smrtí.
CO: Kolekce vydaná ku příležitosti oslav padesáti let od vydání prvního hitu Davida Bowieho, jímž byla v roce 1969 Space Oddity. The "Mercury Demos" je kolekce deseti ranných nahrávek Davida Bowieho, pořízených živě na jeden "take" přímo v Bowieho bytě na jaře roku 1969. Bowieho na kytaru doprovází John "Hutch" Hutchinson, který zpívá též doprovodné vokály. Je zde i vůbec první záznam písně Space Oddity. Nahrávky vznikly na popud hledače talentů Mercury Records Calvina Marka Lee, který je chtěl poslat svému šéfovi Bobu Renovi. Čtyřicet jedna minut trvající nahrávka tak sehrála klíčovou roli v tom, že Bowie dostal u Mercury Records nahrávací smlouvu.

SAS - The Illustrated History of the SAS
The authorised illustrated history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With never-before-seen photographs and unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail.
The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines.
Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. On every page, the book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes.
This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with photographs and stories long thought lost to history.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The story of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, published to coincide with the centenary of its dissolution
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. By 1914 it had been much reduced, but still remained after Russia the largest European state. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914, despite its successfully defending itself for much of the war, doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book, published for the centenary of the last Sultan's departure into exile, explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

Lacná kniha Na nebi hrdého Albionu 6.část (-70%)
Závěrečná část rozsáhlého projektu, pojednávajícího o historii bojů československých letců ve Velké Británii v dobách druhé světové války je logicky věnována závěrečnému válečnému roku 1945.
O tom, že bude rokem vítězství, již málokdo pochyboval. Příslušníci československého stíhacího křídla (310., 312. a 313. peruť), vyzbrojení Spitfiry Mk.IX až do konce války podnikali dálkové doprovody bombardovacím svazům, útočících na Německo a sváděli své poslední boje s kdysi tak obávanými soupeři. Bombardovací 311. peruť operovala na nových Liberatorech GR.Mk.VI ze Skotska proti německým ponorkám a hladinovým plavidlům v Severním a Baltském moři. Posledního úspěchu dosáhla krátce před uzavřením příměří. Svůj díl práce až do posledních hodin odváděl i příslušníci britských leteckých jednotek.
Stejně jako všechny předchozí části tohoto velkorysého projektu, i tuto autor pojal osvědčeným způsobem. Po krátkém úvodu, charakterizující tento válečný rok a činnost letectva na západní frontě, následuje vlastní kalendárium, v němž není opomenuta žádná událost, vztahující se k předmětné problematice. Jsou zde zaznamenány všechny organizační, dislokační, výzbrojní a velitelsko-personální změny. Hlavní část tohoto kalendária je však věnována vlastní operační činnosti čs. letců ve službách RAF. Není v něm opomenuto žádné dosažené vítězství, ani utrpěná ztráta.
V graficky odlišených partiích čtenář nalezne četné biografické črty nejvýznamnějších letců, dále přehledné tabulky, bojová hlášení či vzpomínky pamětníků. Celkový dojem umocňují čtyři stovky dokumentárních fotografií, několik desítek barevných bokorysů letounů a četné faksimile dobových dokumentů. V samotném závěru nebudou scházet ani rozsáhlé tabulky, které sumarizují šestiletou dramatickou válečnou epopej, jíž činnost československého letectva na Západě nepochybně byla.
