The Story of Doctor Dolittle
John Dolittle is a highly respected doctor in the village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, yet he loves animals so much that his house is soon full of them. With all his patients scared away, and the expense of feeding his menagerie mounting, a friend suggests that the Doctor become a vet instead.
With the help of Polynesia the parrot, Doctor Dolittle swiftly learns the language of the animals so that he can talk to all of his new patients. However, when a message comes from Africa, telling of a terrible sickness among the monkeys there, the Doctor and his animal friends depart on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that they are never likely to forget.

The History of a Difficult Child
Selam is the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.
As Selam's mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.
The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice.

Atlas of the Heart
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."
In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."
Court of the Vampire Queen
Three Powerfully Alluring Vampire Men
And One Queen to Rule Them All
All Mina ever wanted was to escape her father's control. Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either-until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion.
Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thought-and as fear bleeds into lust, then trust, then something more, Malachi opens Mina up to a world she never knew could be hers for the taking: including the love of Malachi's two closest friends and companions.
Now surrounded by all three men, the center of their shockingly seductive world, Mina may finally have the power to face down her father and take back the life-and crown-that by all rights should be hers.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.
Evropský Gulag / European Gulag
Když slyšíme slovo „gulag“, vybaví se nám nejprve kniha Souostroví GULAG Alexandra Solženicyna: systém tisíců táborů nucených prací rozesetých po celé rozloze Sovětského svazu. Téměř totožný systém však existoval v každé zemi, kterou po druhé světové válce ovládli komunisté – včetně Československa. Na území současné Evropské unie a jejich nejbližších sousedů fungovalo po více než jednu dekádu nejméně 800 táborů. Bylo v nich uvězněno téměř 1 500 000 lidi, z nichž 130 000 zemřelo. Česko-anglický katalog k mezinárodní výstavě Evropský GULAG přináší fotografie, příběhy i strohá fakta, dokumentující pracovní tábory, kde v otrockých podmínkách žili, pracovali a také často umírali lidé někdy i bez jakéhokoli rozsudku, a po nichž ve většině případů nezůstaly žádné hmotné stopy. Publikace připomíná mimo jiné i Čechoslováky zavlečené do sovětských lágrů či zmiňuje roli Západu, který byl dlouho neochotný připustit si pravdu o nových „koncentračních“ táborech na území svého nedávného spojence v boji proti nacismu.

Kingdom of the Feared
Two curses. One prophecy. And a love more powerful than fate...
All hail the king and queen of Hell. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco delivers sizzling romance, sexy secrets, and unexpected twists in this unforgettable conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked series. Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria.
But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn't just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul-but that's something the enigmatic demon can't promise her. When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer.
Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew. Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fuelled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest that's brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared. Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed.
But have the true villains been much closer all along?

Star Wars: The Tales of Kenobi
Tatooine, the harsh desert planet on the edge of civilized space, is an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding. Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder shares nothing of his past and goes through great pains to remain an outsider. But when violence erupts between some of Tatooine’s farmers and a tribe of marauding Tusken Raiders, Ben finds himself drawn into the conflict. It’s a move that may reveal him as Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars and an enemy of the Empire—and endanger his true mission as protector of the galaxy’s last hope.
Žbirka Miro - Meky: The Best Of Miro Žbirka 3CD
Miro Žbirka rekapituluje své více než čtyřicetileté úspěšné působení na hudební scéně. Výsledkem je výběrové album THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA a MIRO ŽBIRKA SONGBOOK.
Celkem 64 skladeb na třech CD v luxusním kartonovém obalu - THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA nabízí opravdu vydatnou dávku Žbirkovy tvorby! Výběr rozhodně není nahodilý, dramaturgii alba vytvořil sám Meky a v bookletu nechybí odkazy na originální alba, z nichž skladby původně pocházejí. Kromě legendárních hitů najdete na trojalbu i novou skladbu Slovenská která se váže k filmu Juraje Jakubiska Perinbaba a dva světy (premiéra 3.12. 2020). Nahrávky na albu THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA byly letos remasterovány a dostaly současný zvuk v proslulém londýnském studiu Abbey Road Studios, což přináší ještě intenzivnější posluchačský zážitek. Průřezové album je de facto soundtrackem k filmové biografii MEKY, která záhy po červencovém vstupu do českých kin zaznamenala velmi příznivé ohlasy diváků i recenzentů.
