Lacná kniha Ptačí sněm / The parliament of Fowls (-70%)
Díky své delikátní formě a vytříbenému obsahu, spojujícímu ty nejlepší prvky středověké básnické tradice, si Ptačí sněm anglického básníka Geoffreyho Chaucera (asi 1343–1400) zajistil nejen výsadní postavení v rámci autorova rozsáhlého díla, ale rovněž platí za klenot středověkého literárního kánonu. Skladba komorní délky zachycuje básníka neznalého lásky, jenž po dni stráveném nad latinskými spisy usíná neklidným spánkem. Ve snu se mu zjevuje římský vojevůdce Scipio Africanus, který se mu stává průvodcem a zavádí jej do alegorické zahrady, v níž „plodný květen vládne celý věk“ a kde básník poprvé dostává příležitost poznat (byť jen jako svědek) lásku a její rituály zblízka.
Ptačí sněm je ukázkou tzv. snového vidění, jednoho z nejoblíbenějších literárních žánrů vrcholného a pozdního středověku. O zdomácnění této formy se v anglickém prostředí nemalou měrou zasloužil právě Geoffrey Chaucer, a to jak překladem, tak vlastní tvorbou. Přestože datace i účel Ptačího sněmu jsou do značné míry spekulativní, mnohými historiky bývá báseň kladena do přímé souvislosti s námluvami mladého anglického krále Richarda II. a Annou Českou, dcerou římského císaře Karla IV., jíž vzdal Chaucer hold hned v několika svých skladbách. Zároveň se jedná o jeden z nejranějších dokladů spojení kultu svatého Valentýna s milostnou tematikou. Českému čtenáři se tímto vydáním dostává překlad básně do rukou poprvé, doplněný předmluvou nastiňující hlavní rysy žánru středověké snové poezie a Chaucerových variací na její témata a ukázkami z několika významných děl, jež s Ptačím sněmem úzce souvisejí.

The new queen leads her people in new rituals of sacrifice and blood in devotion to the altar of Holland Vosijk, summoning vast power she may not be able to control.
Now Lila and Kell, living free on the waves, are charged by the captain of the Floating Market to retrieve an immensely powerful artefact, stolen by secretive forces. Now Tes, a young woman with a knack for fixing broken things, is thrust into the affairs of Antari and kings, traitors and thieves. And only her unique powers can weave the threads of power together.
A triumphant return to the worlds of The Shades of Magic, The Fragile Threads of Power continues the stories of fan-favourite characters Kell, Lila, Rhy and Alucard, and introduces a new generation of magic, shadows and embers in the dark.
The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?
Electronic - Get The Message: The Best Of 2CD
KDO: V projektu Electronic se sešli dva významní britští hudebníci – zpěvák a kytarista Bernard Sumner z New Order a kytarista Johnny Marr z The Smiths. Na hudbě manchesterské skupiny se zčásti podíleli také Neil Tennant a Chris Lowe z Pet Shop Boys nebo Karl Bartos z Kraftwerk. Superskupina se zrodila v roce 1988, kdy frustrovaný Sumner hodlal natočit sólovou desku, ale během připrav pochopil, že ji nechce dělat sám. Oslovil Marra, se kterým už spolupracoval v minulosti. Debutový singl Getting Away With It proklouzl do americké Top 40 a Electronic následně předskakovali slavným Depeche Mode na jejich severoamerickém turné v roce 1990. Vydali tři studiová alba.
CO: Reedice. Sbírka nejdůležitějších momentů superskupiny, ve které v devadesátých letech působily ikony světové populární hudby, vyšla původně v roce 2006. Zájemci na desce najdou singly a jejich B strany i další nahrávky Electronic. K dispozici na 2CD a vůbec poprvé také na vinylu.

The Law of Innocence
Heading home after winning his latest case, defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - is pulled over by the police. They open the trunk of his car to find the body of a former client.
Haller knows the law inside out. He will be charged with murder. He will have to build his case from behind bars. And the trial will be the trial of his life.
Because Mickey Haller will defend himself in court.
With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed.
But a not-guilty verdict isn't enough. In order to truly walk free, Haller knows he must find the real killer - that is the law of innocence...
'Pick up this gripping book at your peril, especially if you have other things to do like working or sleeping.' Express
'The so-called Lincoln Lawyer . . . turns in another dazzling courtroom performance' New York Times Book Review"
The law of innocence is unwritten. It will not be found in a leather-bound code book. It will never be argued in a courtroom. In nature, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the law of innocence, for every man not guilty of a crime there is a man out there who is. And to prove true innocence the guilty man must be found and exposed to the world."

Celosvětově prodali 75 milionů desek a nahráli řadu hitů jako Last Train To Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday nebo I’m Believer.

The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man
The sequel to Jonas Jonasson's international bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared
It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they're not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un ...
Soon Allan and Julius are at the centre of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Things are about to get very complicated ...
