Lacná kniha The Tibetan Book of the Dead (-70%)
"The Dalai Lama's blessing attends Thurman's translation of the Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between. Composed by Padma Sambhava in the late 8th century, this text minutely describes the 'betweens' (Bardos) or after-death
transition states. Thurman, who opens this work with a new section of preliminary prayers, gives a helpful commentary in terms Westerners can understand and boldface portions to be read aloud in the presence of the dead. He closes by appending Nyingm
a tradition works to the main text.... Westerners will find this a colorful, awesome journey."Library Journal

V čase omylov
Marocký spisovateľ Mohamed Šukri (1935 - 2003) sa v druhom diele autobiografickej trilógie nazvanom V čase omylov opäť vracia do Tandžeru, zásadného mesta pre jeho tvorbu. Nočný život, bezuzdné pitky a prostitúcia sú overené Šukriho námety. Na rozdiel od predchádzajúceho diela Nahý chlieb (Brak 2017) v ktorom sa stretávame s negramotným mladíkom snažiacim sa prebiť životom a prežiť, v próze V čase omylov sme svedkami jeho úsilia nielen vymaniť sa z biedy, ale aj nájsť si miesto v spoločnosti a stať sa spisovateľom. Literatúra a práca učiteľa v marockom meste al-Arájiš, ktoré je pre Šukriho neinšpiratívne, sa tak stáva spôsobom, ako sa vyrovnať s démonmi minulosti. Otázkou zostáva, či sa mu to podarí v provinčnom marockom mestečku alebo ho stiahne temné podsvetie Tandžeru. Táto dichotómia tvorí jadro románu a ponúka tak čitateľovi intímny priezor do psyché neúnavného biografa tohto magického mesta.

One day Doctor Dolittle receives a message from monkeys – they are very ill! Sailing off to Africa with his band of animal companions, Doctor Dolittle seeks to help all he can. Lets find out how they will handle fierce storms, vicious pirates and one angry king. Doktor Dolittle je výjimečný. Jen si to představte – umí mluvit se zvířaty! Své úžasné schopnosti využil k tomu, aby se stal zvěrolékařem. Jeho skvělá pověst se brzy roznese zvířecí říší. Jednoho dne dostane doktor Dolittle zprávu od opic – jsou velmi nemocné! A tak se doktor vydává lodí do Afriky i s partou zvířecích společníků, aby pomohl, jak nejlépe umí. Pojďme se podívat, jak si poradí s prudkými bouřemi, krutými piráty a jedním rozzlobeným králem.
Ladislav Mednyánszky, K 100. výročiu úmrtia umelca/ The 100th anniversary of artist’s death
Ladislav MEDNYÁNSZKY (1852 Beckov – 1919 Viedeň) bol jedným z najvýznamnejších maliarov prelomu 19. a 20. storočia a rozhodne najznámejším umelcom Barbizonu u nás. Vo svojej dobe bol uznávaný predovšetkým ako krajinár. Barbizonské chápanie krajiny bolo v súlade s jeho vnútorným svetom a tento typ krajinomaľby v duchu lyrického realizmu, ktorý uprednostňoval zážitok umelca, jeho individuálne pocity a nálady, čoskoro priviedol na majstrovskú úroveň. Prehlboval sa jeho záujem o filozofiu, budhizmus a teozofiu, ktoré zamýšľal istým spôsobom zapracovať do svojich diel.

Monkees, The - More Of The Monkees 2LP
KDO: Americká rocková kapela Monkees vznikla v roce 1965 v Los Angeles. Byla sformována speciálně pro stejnojmennou televizní sérii zachycující příběh imaginární skupiny, která chce být jako Beatles. Podle členů souboru nebyli Monkees nikdy plnohodnoutnou kapelou: „Monkees byli skutečnou skupinou asi stejně, jako byl Leonard Nimoy vulkánec.“ Přesto se Monkees stali jedním z nejúspěšnějších souborů hudební historie. Celosvětově prodali 75 milionů desek a nahráli řadu hitů jako Last Train To Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday nebo I’m Believer.

Kniha nabízí neobyčejný pohled do taneční archeologie. Prostřednictvím devíti zastavení (realizovaných představení) nahlíží do dějiny tanečního umění z časů renesance, baroka či romantismu. Mimořádná autentičnost jednotlivých vystoupení je umocněna zvoleným prostředím, dobovými kostýmy a dekoracemi (čtyři zastavení se např. konala v unikátním barokním divadle českokrumlovského zámku). Autorkou textů je prof. Mgr. Helena Kazárová, Ph.D., choreografka a taneční historička, která zároveň jednotlivá představení podle dobových pramenů připravila a také režírovala.

Princ a krása zeme / A Prince and the Beauty of the Earth
Kniha Princ a krása zeme prináša rozprávky z vyše tridsiatky krajín, v ktorých pôsobili slovenskí vojaci od roku 1993 v misiách a operáciách na podporu mieru, pričom rozprávky sú publikované v slovenčine aj v angličtine a ilustroval ich renomovaný výtvarník Martin Kellenberger.
Knihu vydala Vojenská podporná nadácia Bratislava a zostavil ju správca nadácie Milan Gajdoš. Prerozprávali ich vojaci, ktorí v zahraničnom nasadení pôsobili, no aj diplomati, novinári, charitatívni pracovníci či cestovatelia. Súčasťou 378 stranovej knihy je príloha s údajmi o slovenskom zastúpení v jednotlivých operáciách medzinárodného krízového manažmentu, ktorú zostavil publicista Pavol Vitko.
Na ilustráciu: rozprávka Začarované bociany je z Iraku, Dedova rada z Lotyšska, o tom že Dom bez ženy je ako pec bez cesta sa hovorí v rozprávke z Afganistanu, cyperská rozprávka má názov Hodža Aslant – drevorubač, Muž, ktorý robí dobro je zo Sýrie, Hadí kráľ a statočný roľník Vasva z Ugandy, Princ a jeho osud je z Egypta, Teklova koza z Eritrei, Malin Kundag a jeho mamka z Východného Timoru, Kráľov roh je zo Severného Macedónska, Starenka bylinkárka a zlodej z Kuvajtu, Dievča – žabka z Chorvátska a trebárs Princ a krása zeme je z Kosova. Dodajme, že slovenská rozprávka je autorská, napísal ju Ľubomír Feldek a volá sa Keď Pán Boh a Svätý Peter chodili po Slovensku. Ľubomír Feldek pre deti jednu z rozprávok aj prebásnil. Jej názov je Prečo sa opica podobá človeku a pochádza z Mali.
The Fall of Numenor
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.
Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told.
Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, adhering to the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.

One sister. Two sinful princes. Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the Wicked.
With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister.
But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own.
Faced with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.
As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . .

The Last Hours: Chain of Thorns
James and Cordelia must save London — and their marriage — in this thrilling and highly anticipated conclusion to The Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel.
Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her.
In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter.
After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.
Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Cordelia longs to protect James, but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew. Nor can her friends help — ripped apart by their own secrets, they seem destined to face what is coming alone.
For time is short, and Belial’s plan is about to crash into the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave, one that will separate Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves from help of any kind. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city — and their families — they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything — even their souls.
