In the Ravenous Dark
A pansexual bloodmage reluctantly teams up with an undead spirit to start a rebellion among the living and the dead, in this dark young adult fantasy by A.M. Strickland, author of Beyond the Black Door.
She loves a princess. She's bound to a warrior. She must betray them both.
In Thanopolis, those gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits to guard them-and control them. Ever since Rovan's father died trying to keep her from this fate, she's hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she's bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception.
Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can't fully trust: Lydea, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, a handsome spirit with the ability to control Rovan, body and soul.
Together, they uncover a secret that will destroy Thanopolis. To save them all, Rovan will have to start a rebellion in both the mortal world and the underworld, and find a way to trust the princess and spirit battling for her heart - if she doesn't betray them first.
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
"Eleanor Oliphant is a truly original literary creation: funny, touching, and unpredictable. Her journey out of dark shadows is absolutely gripping." --Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You
"Deft, compassionate and deeply moving--Honeyman's debut will have you rooting for Eleanor with every turning page." --Paula McClain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun
No one's ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine.
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond's big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .
The only way to survive is to open your heart.
English Is Not Easy
Víte, kdy použít whether a kdy if? Díky příkladové větě si to jistě ujasníte: I wonder whether I should have added a little more poison to his tea? Nevíte, kam umístit čárku v podmínkových větách? Chce si ujasnit a zopakovat základní předložky pomocí krys a popelnice? Tento skvěle ilustrovaný průvodce představuje složitost anglického jazyka, slovíčka i gramatiku.
Celkem 17 zábavných kapitol nás seznámí s nejrůznějšími úskalími anglického jazyka, na které autorka - grafička, která tuto knihu vytvořila, narazila během svého pobytu v New Yorku.
English Is Not Easy nenabízí zkrácené fráze o extrémních sportech a atmosférických podmínkách, které se dozvíte v obvyklých učebnicích angličtiny. Tato kniha nabízí slovní zásobu situací, ve kterých se dospělý čtenář skutečně ocitá. Potřebujete někoho urazit? Ano, i urážky tu najdete. A imbecil je z nich ta nejslušnější.
Autorčiny postavy, hravé věty, dialogy ze života, a především skvělé ilustrace nás seznámí se vším – od problematiky slovesa to be až po komplikované slovesné časy a zdánlivě nesmyslné idiomy. Pro samouky, kteří se chtějí zlepšit v konverzaci, a pro „věčné začátečníky“, je tato kniha nápaditým a poutavým ilustrovaným dobrodružstvím na cestě angličtinou.

Fats Jazz Band - Rhythm Is Our Business
CD Rhythm Is Our Business obsahuje rekonštrukcie pôvodných jazzových nahrávok z prvej polovice 20. storočia v jedinečnej autentickej interpretácii. FATS JAZZ BAND je prvotriedny deväťčlenný orchester nasiaknutý autentickým hot jazzom a swingom. Hudobníci hrajú na pôvodných nástrojoch z 30. rokov a aranžmány prepisujú transkripciou z originálnych šelakových platní tých najväčších jazzových legiend. Do interpretácie potom vložia svoj originálny „rukopis“, čoho výsledkom je kokteil plný energie a nadčasovosti. Užite si tento výlet strojom času takmer 100 rokov do minulosti.
Album otvára kontrapunktická skladba Bach Goes To Town inšpirovaná nahrávkou slávneho koncertu Bennyho Goodmana z roku 1938 v Carnegie Hall. Ôsmy album orchestra obsahuje vynikajúce aranžmány sexteta kontrabasistu Johna Kirbyho, či už inšpirované klasickou hudbou (Charlie’s prelude a Minute Waltz) alebo čisto jazzovú skladbu postavenú na harmonických moduláciách From Ab to C. Na CD rezonujú aj mená dvoch významných tenorsaxofonistov – Lestera Younga v nadčasovej skladbe Boogie Woogie, ktorá napriek roku svojho vzniku 1938 predznamenala zrod nového hudobného štýlu, a rekonštrukciu skvelého sóla tenorsaxofonistu Colemana Hawkinsa v skladbe The Day You Came Along. Fanúšikovia Fatsa Waller si užijú aj piesne ako The Joint is Jumpin‘, Spring Cleaning, My Mommie Sent Me To The Store a Clarinet Marmalade, z ktorých sála Wallerova charakteristická energia, vtip a nákazlivá dobrá nálada. Úplne iný zvuk má skladba Sorry z roku 1929, kde počuť typickú estetiku hot jazzu 20. rokov (kornet, bendžo, bassaxofón, husle...). Fats Jazz Band použil na CD aj ďalšie nezvyčajné nástroje ako Hammond organ (Clarinet Marmalade) a Swanee saxofón (He’s Funny That Way). Kapelník Ladislav Fančovič vybral dve sólové klavírne skladby zo začiatku 30. rokov - Bugatti Step od Jaroslava Ježka a Black Beauty od Duka Ellingtona. Jeho little big band si zaplával aj do britských vôd nádherným prevedením skladieb ako Who, Pastel Blue a titulnej piesne Rhythm Is Our Business, ktorú pôvodne nahrali Six Swingers. Na albume sú aj dve krásne slovenské piesne, ktoré v 50. rokoch nahrala Viera Racková, Do zajtra čakaj a Maličká slzička. CD uzatvára pieseň Java Jive s vokálnym kvartetom v úvode zloženým z členov orchestra. Bonusovú skladbu Mack the Knife zaranžoval Fančovič v štýle virtuóznych klavírnych show Liberaceho zo 60. rokov. Ústredná melódia z Opery o troch grošoch Kurta Weilla vás prevedie rôznymi štýlmi, vrátane viedenského valčíka, latino či boogie-woogie.

Carrie Soto Is Back
Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular.
By the time Carrie retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as her coach.
But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be taken from her by a brutal, stunning, British player named Nicki Chan.
At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. Even if the sports media says that they never liked the 'Battle-Axe' anyway. Even if her body doesn't move as fast as it did. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to prove before he gives up the game forever.
In spite of it all: Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. In this riveting and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a comeback.

The Ink Dark Moon
A captivating and unexpected collection of two female Japanese poets from the 9th and 10th centuries
Here is a collection of sexy, brief, fleeting poems about love, lust and longing. They originate from a time in Japanese history where aristocratic women of the Heian court were free to marry and conduct love affairs according to their desires. Education and refinement were so highly valued that the courtly manner of expressing oneself, whether to give condolences for a death, to send back a forgotten fan, or to heighten the anticipation of a lover's visit, was with a poem of just five lines. A convention of secrecy surrounding love affairs fills these verses with palpable emotion.
These vivid and erotic poems express love in all its forms, and do so with amazing economy of words, unforgettable imagery and breath-taking modernity.
