Lacná kniha True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole, Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend (-70%)
THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF ADRIAN MOLE is the third in the series to be part of Penguin's Sue Townsend repackaging programme. A chance to sell Sue Townsend to a whole new audience! Adrian Mole has grown up. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life Pandora has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he hoped it would be. Still, intellectual poets can't always have things their own way...

Stories of Your Life and Others
'A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.' GUARDIAN
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
'United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion.' CHINA MIEVILLE
Fotbalový deník 2008 Jaromíra Bosáka
Poprvé v životě jsem psal knížku o akci, které jsem nebyl přímo účasten. Po čtrnácti letech jsem měl sudé léto alespoň trochu volnější, neboť mistrovství Evropy vysílala jiná televizní stanice než moje mateřská ČT. Popravdě, představa toho, že si budu velké zápasy užívat jako divák, často s kamarády u žejdlíku dobrého piva, nebyla úplně špatná. Pohled z domova je totiž diametrálně odlišný od toho z komentátorského postu. Alespoň se člověk lépe vyrovnává s neúspěchem českého týmu. Zažil jsem ho na MS 2006 a není to zrovna novinářská radost. Doma se to lépe skousne. Jestli se vám bude dobře kousat i tento deník, to nevím, ale přál bych si to. Je to trochu jiný pohled na velký fotbalový turnaj a třeba se na něčem shodneme. Tak hezké počtení.
Behind the Lines Bugulma and Other Stories
V roce 1921, několik měsíců předtím, než Jaroslav Hašek začal psát Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka, popisuje v cyklu Velitelem města Bugulmy své životní zkušenosti s revolučním Ruskem. Obdobným způsobem, jakým se ve svých povídkách vysmíval předválečné C. a K. monarchii, zachycuje bývalý rudý komisař Hašek bolševickou revoluci. Před čtenářem se tak odehrává úsměvný příběh, v němž, v zapomenutém tatarském městečku Bugulma, vystupuje sovětský velitel tverského revolučního pluku, opilec Jerochymov a velitel města tovaryš Gašek. Skrze humor a nadsázku Hašek ukazuje jednak fanatismus revoluční doby, kdy v nešťastném roce 1918 se náhle vše "vymklo z kloubů", a jednak hloupost či prostou lidskou nejistotu nových vládců. Autobiografcký cyklus Velitelem města Bugulmy je dále doplněn o další Haškovy povídky z té doby.

Kontrasty tanečných príbehov/ Contrasts in Dance Stories
Prvá odborná monografia o baletnom umelcovi na Slovensku je pútavým príbehom dlhoročného vedúceho sólistu Baletu Slovenského národného divadla Zoltána Nagya. Na javisku tejto scény pôsobil až do svojich štyridsiatich šiestich rokov. Stvárnil tu viac ako päťdesiat postáv, okrem hlavných aj charakterové, v baletných inscenáciách klasického a moderného repertoáru. Kritici ho ocenili titulom danseur noble ako jedného z mála slovenských tanečníkov v dejinách. So svojou tanečnou kariérou dvadsiatich ôsmich divadelných sezón sa zaradil medzi najdlhšie pôsobiacich profesionálov v tejto oblasti.
V prvej časti knihy Zoltán Nagy vo sviežom rozhovore s publicistkou, kunsthistoričkou Lindou Nagyovou, jeho dcérou, hovorí o predstaveniach, stvárňovaných postavách, tanečných partnerkách – jednou z nich bola Augusta Herényiová-Starostová, považovaná za prvú slovenskú primabalerínu. Nezabúda na výtvarné, hudobné dianie spájajúce sa s inscenáciami, na pôvodnú slovenskú tvorbu, na skladateľov Ilju Zeljenku, Eugena Suchoňa. V otázkach je priebežne konfrontovaný s faktami a historickými súvislosťami. Venuje sa aj témam spojeným s úspechom dlhoročnej kariéry tanečníka bez úrazov.
Rozhovor dopĺňa viac než sto fotografií z predstavení i vystúpení na európskych javiskách. Mnohé z nich prešli náročnou rekonštrukciou a neboli doteraz publikované. Súčasťou dialógu sú citácie dobových recenzií.
Druhá časť publikácie patrí spomienkam významných osobností z umeleckého prostredia – jeho kolegyniam, kolegom, žiakom a súčasníkom.
Súčasťou knihy je anglický preklad, ktorý umožní nahliadnuť do problematiky cudzincom.
Napísanie a vydanie publikácie z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia.
Mr Salary - Faber Stories
My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all.
Years ago, Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.
Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years. With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech, she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death.

Zdravotní rádce na cesty 2008/09
S otevřením našich hranic se objevily zcela nové možnosti turistiky. Cestování však nepřináší pouze jedinečné zážitky v exotických prostředích, ale i zdravotní rizika. Kromě úrazů, náhlých komplikací či zhoršení chronických onemocnění, přehřátí nebo důsledků nerozumného opalování ohrožují cestovatele infekční nemoci. Nejčastěji dochází k průjmovým infekcím, zánětům dýchacích cest, zánětům jater a v neposlední řadě i k sexuálně přenosným chorobám. Vzácnějším, ale zato život ohrožujícím rizikem je malárie, objevující se v souvislosti s pobytem v malarických oblastech při nedodržování potřebných preventivních opatření.
Ghost Town
WINNER OF THE TAIWAN LITERATURE AWARD
Keith Chen, the desperately yearned for second son of a traditional Taiwanese family with five daughters, refuses to play the role his parochial parents would cast him in. Instead, he chooses to make a life for himself in cosmopolitan Berlin, where he finally finds acceptance as a young gay man.
The novel is set about a decade later, on Ghost Festival, the Day of Deliverance. After Keith's release from a maximum security prison, he has nowhere to go but home. With his parents gone, his siblings married, mad, on the lam, or dead, there is nothing left for him there, so it seems. As he explores his uncanny home town, we learn what tore his family apart, and, more importantly, the truth behind the terrible crime Keith committed in Germany.
Told in a myriad of voices-both living and dead-and moving through time with deceptive ease, Ghost Town is a mesmerizing story of family secrets, countryside superstitions, and the search for identity amid a clash of cultures.

The Ghost Ship
Following The Burning Chambers and The City of Tears, bestseller Kate Mosse returns with another sweeping historical epic about love in a time of war.
The Ghost Ship floats silently on the water, all guns silenced, all voices quiet. In the hold, the bodies of men who are dead or dying, and those who have hidden. Only two pirates remain on deck, still defending their vessel against the superior firepower of the Dutch fleet. Slavers or freedom fighters, this stretch of water off the Barbary Coast is home to more privateers than any other and this sloop has seen more than its fair share of action. Now, its hull is splintered, the sails tattered and burnt, its gold coins and bullion seized as the spoils of war.
Among those on board are the Huguenot leader of the Siege of St Rochelle, forced to flee when Richelieu's forces took the city in 1628, and the legendary and feared commander of the ship, kidnapped as a child from the island of Tenerife. Both know their fate. If they are arrested, they will be tried, condemned and hung for their crimes. But things are not what they seem.
For the bravest of the men on board are, in fact, women living in disguise to protect their identities: Louise Joubert, to escape a family feud several generations old; and Anna Van Raay, fleeing a miscarriage of justice that would see her taken to the gallows. Both women know that whatever happens, they cannot allow their identities to be discovered.
The Ghost Ship, the third book in The Burning Chambers series, continues the story of the Joubert family and their descendants. A thrilling adventure story of piracy and revenge, lost treasure and family secrets, it ranges from France and Amsterdam to the Canary Islands, and across the high seas.
