The History of Philosophy
'A cerebrally enjoyable survey, written with great clarity and touches of wit... The non-western section throws up some fascinating revelations'
Sunday Times
The story of philosophy is an epic tale: an exploration of the ideas, views and teachings of some of the most creative minds known to humanity. But there has been no comprehensive and entertaining, single-volume history of this great intellectual journey since 1945.
With his characteristic clarity and elegance A. C. Grayling takes the reader from the world-views and moralities before the age of the Buddha, Confucius and Socrates, through Christianity's dominance of the European mind to the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and on to Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre, and philosophy today. And, since the story of philosophy is incomplete without mention of the great philosophical traditions of India, China and the Persian-Arabic world, he gives a comparative survey of them too.
Intelligible for students and eye-opening for philosophy readers, he covers epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, logic, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, political philosophy and the history of debates in these areas of enquiry, through the ideas of the celebrated philosophers as well as less well-known influential thinkers. He also asks what we have learnt from this body of thought, and what progress is still to be made.
The first authoritative and accessible single-volume history of philosophy for decades, remarkable for its range and clarity, this is a landmark work.

A Taste of Gold and Iron
A sweeping fantasy romance inspired by the Ottoman Empire, A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland is perfect for fans of A Marvellous Light and The Goblin Emperor.
One false coin could topple an empire.
Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, has no intention of wrestling for imperial control with his sister, the queen. Yet he remains at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court – the father of the queen’s new child. Then a hunting party goes terribly awry, and Kadou finds himself under suspicion of attempted murder.
To prove his loyalty to his sister and salvage his reputation, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds. He enlists the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. But what appears to be a straightforward crime spirals into a complex counterfeiting operation, with a powerful enemy at its heart.
In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy. The conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing – and bring about its ruin.
Panstvo Soli a smútku
Annaleigh žije so sestrami, s otcom a nevlastnou matkou na osamelom panstve Highmoor na ostrove uprostred nepokojných morí. Kedysi bolo sestier dvanásť, dnes sú však veľkolepé sály panstva studené a prázdne, štyri životy nečakane vyhasli. Jedna smrť bola tragickejšia než druhá – choroba, strmhlavý pád, utopenie, pokĺznutie z útesu. Po okolitých dedinách sa šepká, že rodina je prekliata. Annaleigh klebetám neverí, ale zároveň pochybuje, že šlo o náhodné úmrtia. Ostatné sestry sa po nociach vykrádajú zo svojich izieb, aby tancovali na tajných báloch, v žiarivých črievičkách a hodvábnych róbach, až do úsvitu, a Annaleigh nevie, či sa k nim pridať, alebo im nebezpečné výlety vyhovoriť. Koniec koncov, s kým alebo s čím to vlastne tancujú? Na panstve Highmoore sa deje čosi zvláštne, a Annaleigh musí záhadu vyriešiť, kým nepribudnú ďalšie obete. Mohla by byť jednou z nich.

Ruination: A League of Legends Novel
Discover an epic tale of magic, revenge and an empire on the verge of ruin in the first ever novel set in the blockbuster universe of League of Legends.
Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows.
Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Viego's wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure.
As Isolde's condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen's salvation, if only Kalista can find them.
But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles' capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right - for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.

Z krvi a popola 2: Kráľovstvo tela a ohňa
Je láska silnejšia než pomsta?
ZRADA…
Všetko, čomu Poppy verila, je lož, vrátane muža, do ktorého sa zamilovala. Uviaznutá medzi tými, ktorí ju vnímajú ako symbol obludného kráľovstva, ani poriadne netuší, kým je bez závoja nepoškvrnenej. Vie však, že nič nie je také nebezpečné ako on. Pán temnoty. Princ Atlantie. Chce, aby s ním bojovala, a tento príkaz veľmi rada splní. Možno ju zajal, no nikdy ju nebude vlastniť.
VOĽBA…
Casteel Da’Neer má mnoho mien a tvárí. Jeho lži sú rovnako zvodné ako jeho dotyk. Jeho pravda je zmyselná ako jeho uhryznutie. Poppy vie, že mu nemôže veriť. Na svoje ciele ju potrebuje živú, zdravú a v celku. No aj on pre ňu predstavuje jedinú cestu, ako dosiahnuť, čo chce — nájsť brata Iana a na vlastné oči sa presvedčiť, či sa z neho stal povýšený bez duše. Spolupracovať s Casteelom a nebojovať proti nemu má svoje riziká. Každým nádychom ju vábi, ponúka jej všetko, o čom kedy snívala. Má s ňou plány. Také, ktoré by jej mohli priniesť nekonečné potešenie i nepoznanú bolesť. Plány, ktoré ju prinútia pozrieť sa za hranice všetkého, čo vedela o sebe – a o ňom. Plány, ktoré by ich životy mohli spojiť nečakanými spôsobmi a na ktoré nie je pripravené ani jedno kráľovstvo. A ona je priveľmi nedbanlivá a nenásytná, aby odolala pokušeniu.
TAJOMSTVO…
V Atlantii však v očakávaní princovho návratu vzrástol nepokoj. Stále častejšie sa šepká o vojne a Poppy je v samom ohnisku všetkých udalostí. Kráľ ju chce využiť, aby odovzdala odkaz. Stúpenci ju chcú vidieť mŕtvu. Vlkolaci sú čoraz nepredvídateľnejší. A ako sa jej schopnosť cítiť bolesť a emócie rozvíja a posilňuje, Atlantínčania sa jej začínajú báť. V hre sú temné tajomstvá ponorené do krvavých hriechov oboch kráľovstiev, ktoré by urobili všetko, aby zatajili pravdu. No keď sa začne otriasať zem a krvácať obloha, môže už byť neskoro.
