Lacná kniha Swords of Night and Day
A thousand years after they fell in battle, two heroes - Druss and Skilgannon - are revered throughout the war-torn lands of the Dernai, where men and women live in abject fear of the dark sorceress known as the Eternal.. But what if the soul of one such hero could be called back from the void, his bones housed again in flesh? An ancient prophecy foretold that Skilgannon would return in his people's darkest hour. To most, this was a foolish hope. But not so to Landis Kan. Having found Skilgannon's ancient tomb, he gathers up the bones and peforms the mystic ritual But the reborn hero is an enigma: a young man whose warrior skills are blunted and whose memories are fragmented. This Skilgannon is a man out of time, Marooned in a world as strange to him as a dream, remote from all he knew and loved. Or nearly all. Before bringing back Skilgannon, Landis Kan had experimented upon other bone fragments found in the hero's tomb. That ritual resulted in a surly giant who possessed astounding strength but no memories. To Kan, he is a dangerous failure. To Skilgannon, this giant represents their last hope As ageless evil threatens to drown the Drenai lands in blood, two legendary heroes will once again lead the way to freedom

Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.

Legenda o Sigurdovi a Gudrún - The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún
Autor Pána prstenů se vždy zajímal o severskou mytologii. Příběh o Sigurdovi a Gudrún je součástí Ságy o Völsunzích, ale hlavní hrdina se objevuje i v Eddě. Tolkien spojil zlomky příběhu v ucelenou linii a zpracoval ji za využití obtížného eddického verše, při zachování lasického rozměru i typických aliterací. Text vydal z otcovy pozůstalosti jeho syn Christopher a doprovodil ho obšírným komentářem.
Bilingvní česko-anglické vydání.
Keep Calm and Zomri
Tvárime sa ako drsňáci na internete, ale v skutočnosti sme rozmaznaní synáčikovia, ktorí sa dojmú pri každej somarine. Vytáčajú nás idioti, chrapúni a prakokoti. Bez nich by tu bolo lepšie, ale naše fungovanie by nedávalo zmysel. A to je paradoxne presne to, čo chceme dosiahnuť a čoho sa chceme dožiť. Aby tu raz bolo tak dobre, že by Zomri mohlo v pokoji zomrieť. Momentálne však Zomri žije možno viac, ako by sme si to všetci priali. A s vašou podporou ešte aj dlho bude.
Už takmer tri desiatky rokov existuje slovenská spoločnosť v nejakom zvláštnom medzisvete a nevie sa úplne rozhodnúť, kam chce patriť.
Ľudia boli od konca štyridsiatych rokov 20. storočia zvyknutí, že sa o nich stará niekto iný a že do vecí okolo seba vlastne nemajú ako zasiahnuť. Po prevrate prišiel prúser. Na jednej strane stáli nadšenci a idealisti, ktorí z tejto krajiny chceli urobiť modernú spoločnosť založenú na demokratických základoch, a na opačnej hajzli, ktorí svojimi demagógiami ťahajú ľudí do stredoveku. Tento boj dodnes nielen že pretrváva, je silnejší ako kedykoľvek predtým. Moc ovládajú populisti, v parlamente sedia nacisti. Demokratická opozícia je v absolútnom rozvrate, raz sa prikláňa na stranu populistov, inokedy slabučko hryzne.
V stave tohto marazmu vzniklo Zomri úplne spontánne. Pôvodne sme boli jednoduchá facebooková stránka, ktorá uverejňovala vtipy a upozorňovala na prešľapy.
Teraz sme však už miestom, kam sa ľudia chodia uvoľniť po dni naplnenom politikmi, ktorí dennodenne serú na hlavy celej verejnosti. Keď sa vám z paláca vládnej strany smejú do ksichtu a potom idú prespať k usvedčeným zločincom, keď občianske slobody označujú za ohrozenie štátu a kriminálka vyšetruje študentov organizujúcich protesty tak viete, že ste sa za tých tridsať rokov posunuli viac dozadu, ako dopredu.
My na to odpovede nemáme. Snažíme sa len tieto šialenstvá priniesť čo najširšej verejnosti v jazyku, ktorý máme všetci spoločný a zakorenený niekde v hlbinách našich duší. V jazyku humoru, dôvtipu a vulgarity.
Zomri je občianska sebaobrana.

The Sun and the Star
A new Percy Jackson World novel featuring fan-favourite characters, Nico and Will!
Demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace must endure the terrors of Tartarus in their attempt to rescue an old friend in this thrilling adventure co-written by best-selling author Rick Riordan and award-winning author Mark Oshiro.
As the son of Hades, Nico di Angelo been through so much, from the premature deaths of his mother and sister, to being outed against his will, to losing his friend Jason during the trials of Apollo. But there is a ray of sunshine in his life—literally: his boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo. Together the two demigods can overcome any obstacle or foe. At least, that's been the case so far . . .
Now Nico is being plagued by a voice calling out to him from Tartarus, the lowest part of the Underworld. He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with.
But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.
King of Pride
He's his opposite in every way . . . and the greatest temptation he's ever known.
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.
With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
Isabella is everything he shouldn't want, but with every look and every touch, he's tempted to break all his rules . . . and claim her as his own.
***
Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn't like or a man she couldn't charm . . . except for Kai Young.
It shouldn't matter. He's not her type - the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he's strictly off limits.
But she can't deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch.
No matter how hard they try, they can't resist giving into their forbidden desires.
Even if it costs them everything.
