The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole 1999-2001
This is the brand new edition of the brilliant sixth book in the hilarious "Adrian Mole" series, Sue Townsend's "The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole". Monday January 3, 2000 So how do I greet the New Millennium? In despair. I'm a single parent, I live with my mother...I have a bald spot the size of a jaffa cake on the back of my head...I can't go on like this, drifting into early middle-age. I need a Life Plan...The 'same age as Jesus when he died', Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success ever-elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose. But little does he realise that he is about to come to the attention of those policing The War Against Terror..."Told with Townsend's trademark deadpan humour. To people of a certain age, Adrian Mole was their Harry Potter". ("News of the World"). "An achingly funny anti-hero". ("Daily Mail"). Sue Townsend is Britain's favourite comic author. Since the publication of "The Secret Diaries of Adrian Mole Aged 13 and 3/4" in 1982, she has made us weep with laughter and pricked the nation's conscience. Seven further volumes of diaries have followed: "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole", "The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole", "Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years", "Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years", "The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole", "Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years". All have been acclaimed bestsellers, some have been adapted for radio and TV, starring Lulu, Julie Walters and Stephen Mangan, among others. She has also written six other popular novels ("The Queen and I", "Queen Camilla", "Number Ten", "Rebuilding Coventry", "Ghost Children" and "The Woman Who Went to Bed for A Year") and penned many well-received plays. She lives in Leicester, where she was born and grew up.

St.Martin Cathedral, Spišská Kapitula
Should you be driving from the direction of Prešov, as soon as you come out of the tunnel and take a turn for what is called ‘the Gothic tour’ leading to Levoča, you will be faced with an amazing view. The first thing you note is a sublime ruinous castle crowning a barren hill. It might appear at first sight as if the white walls were a natural continuation of the chalk tuff protruding from the grassy hillside. Somewhat further away one catches sight of two towers of the church of Spišská Kapitula (Szepeshely) peeping out from behind a closed ring of castle walls. Only then do you notice Spišské Podhradie (Szepesváralja), if at all. In fact you might well become distracted by a third amazing sight – the lonely and gorgeous chestnut ally along the road comes over particularly spectacular against the dreary landscape in which it is set. The ‘city’ is the seat of the bishop and chapter of Spiš in Slovakia, on St. Martin’s Hill which rises to the West of Spišský Hrad -the Slovakian Vatican, as it is called today. Spišský Hrad and Spišská Kapitula lie in the heart of historical Spiš (Szepesség) province and, within that, of Spiš County – a spot of strategic importance. The people of this castle and small city, founded by Hungarians in the 11th-12th centuries, acted as defendors of the region – indeed, of the entire kingdom. The castle has been the seat of the Count of Spiš, of castellanes, stewards and sheriffs – what you will. Their mission was to protect the Northern borders of the country at the head of the 'Gömör guard' and later the Spiš lancers who were made to settle here. Spišská Kapitula, with its canons, headed by the provost, served in the Middle Ages as the chancellors' seat for the count of Spiš. Close ties between the two places are shown, besides their geographic proximity, by the fact that Spišská Kapitula was built on a small hill named after St. Martin the border protector, and the provost's church, founded by Hungarians, which later advanced to become a bishop's cathedral, were also named after this border protecting saint. This is true to the way in which the churches of the surrounding border protecting villages feature wall paintings of the legendary of that other great border protector, King St. László.

Yves Saint Laurent - A XX. század legnagyobb divattervezőjének élete
Ez a könyv - a divattervező első életrajza - annak az érzékeny fiúnak a története, akit erejét és törékenységét megidézve Misima "kötélidegzetű gyermeknek" nevezett, és aki tizenhárom évesen arról álmodott: Egy napon meghódítom Párizst, és fénylő betűkkel áll majd a nevem a Champs-Élysées-n!
Hogyan fér meg egy emberben a 21 évesen Christian Dior helyére lépő sötét öltönyös fiatalember és a Sept 1971-ben meztelenül pózoló világfija? A depressziós férfi, a vörös-arany dicsőség foglya és az ördögi provokátor, aki hatalmas botrányt kavar az Opiummal? Az YSL-birodalom felépítője és a Babylone utcai remete? A sivatagról, szabadságról álmodó örök gyerek és a fehér köpenyes maximalista, aki azért alkotott, hogy természetükből fakadóan eltűnő ruháknak adjon életet?
YSL bukása! A legpocsékabb bemutató Párizsban! Mi tagadás, határozottan és teljességgel förtelmes! Végtelenül ízléstelen, ocsmány, szélsőséges... - It's fantastic! Quelle Merveille! Milyen csodálatos! Őrült siker! Diadal! Yves Párizs bálványa!
S ha kíváncsiak, hogyan csinálja?
Nos, egy női arccal kezdem - vallja a szerelmes ördög -, mert az arc bája a titok, aztán egyszer csak érzem a színeket, a nő illatát, s mint mikor árnyékként átsiklunk egy álomvilágba, látom a ruhát: egy kis csillagpor, holdpor, kis szerelempor... és kész a varázslat

Into the Void (Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi)
"NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER On the planet Tython, the ancient Je daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved and whose life she must now fear. Includes a special, full-color excerpt from the Dark Horse comic "Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi "and an original Dawn of the Jedi short story by John Ostrander! Praise for "Into the Void" "" In a story filled with adventure, intrigue, and great quotes, there s a lot to like in this book. Tim Lebbon dives into his very first "Star Wars" story with a great deal of success. He manages to spin a tale that feels like "Star Wars," but also feels different from other stories that have been told before. While there is some threat of system wide destruction, the point is never pushed to being ridiculous. The characters feel believable and provoke interest. The attention to the characters never takes away from the plot. There s also a remarkable balance between world building, plot and character development, and action. When it comes down to it, "Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void" is just great storytelling. Roqoo Depot A nice, compact "Star Wars" tale that both acts as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi period and a standalone story. Club Jade A solidly enjoyable read . . . a nice addition to the Expanded Universe. Tosche Station A good solid "Star Wars" adventure story with heart. Knights Archive"

Readers will be inspired by his bumper crop of well-chosen stories about people overcoming their fear and reaching beyond the familiar. People interested in pursuing new ventures will find Molinsky's advice invaluable." -Publishers Weekly "We all have trouble reaching beyond our comfort zone, but this book shows you how.

Here is a book that will get you unstuck, help you grow, and ultimately take you to another level. A true standout!" -Olivia Fox Cabane, author of The Charisma Myth "When we need the strength to tackle a stressful situation that takes us beyond our comfort zone, most of the advice we get boils down to bumper stickers like 'Feel the fear and do it anyway.' Fortunately, Andy Molinsky has brought fresh insights from social science to bear on this problem. Reach provides a practical approach to pushing the boundaries while remaining true to our authentic selves." -Matthew Kohut, co-author of Compelling People "We're often encouraged to step outside our comfort zones, but rarely know where to begin.

This smart and compassionate book will guide you to to reach beyond the safety of your own status quo, enabling you to discover and create new possibilities for you in your work and life." -Cathy Salit, CEO, Performance of a Lifetime and Author of Performance Breakthrough: A Radical Approach to Success at Work "In this insightful and highly practical book, Andy Molinsky draws on a wealth of research to identify what stops people from stepping outside their comfort zone and the key practices through which they can overcome those obstacles. Packed with compelling examples and presenting a powerful set of tools to help diagnose and tackle the challenges, Reach is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to move past the self-limiting thoughts and feelings that get in the way of achieving important goals." -Sally Maitlis, Professor of Organizational Behaviour & Leadership, Said Business School, Oxford University, and Executive Coach

Funny Girl
Funny Girl - the latest novel from Nick Hornby, the million-copy bestselling author of About a Boy Make them laugh, and they're yours forever...Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She only wants to make people laugh. So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself off to London, and lands a life-changing audition for a new BBC comedy series. Overnight she becomes Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts. Funny Girl is the story of a smash-hit TV show and the people behind the scenes: the writers, Tony and Bill, friends since national service and comedy obsessives; producer Dennis, Oxbridge educated, clever, mild and not-so-secretly devoted to his star actress Sophie; and dashing male lead Clive, who firmly believes he's destined for better things. The show's success continues rocketing and the cast and crew are having the time of their lives. But when the script begins to get a bit too close to home, and life starts imitating art, they all face a choice. How long can they keep going before it's time to change the channel? Nick Hornby's novel is about popular culture and the swinging sixties. Sophie Straw is learning about youth and old age, fame and hard work, class and collaboration. Funny Girl offers a captivating portrait of youthful exuberance and freedom at a time when Britain itself was experiencing one of its most enduring creative bursts. Hornby fans will love his latest book, as will readers of David Nicholls, Mark Haddon and William Boyd. "Fans won't be disappointed by this new story...endearing, humorous and touching, full of spot-on period detail, all brought to vivid life by a cast of very human characters. Hugely enjoyable." (Sunday Mirror). "Resolutely, winningly light-hearted." (Observer). "Nick Hornby's funny, winningly perceptive novel is a pleasure to read." (Telegraph). "If you devoured About a Boy and whizzed through High Fidelity you're going to love Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel. Hilarious and captivating, this is a fabulous read." (Take a Break). "There is something about Hornby's writing that is so simple, so easy-to-read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time, that anything he writes turns out very special. The premise of Funny Girl is like a lot of Nick Hornby's irritatingly genius ideas: something so obvious you can't believe no one thought of it before." (Independent). "Everything he writes is addictively readable and clever, but with this one he just surpasses himself." (Red). "Effortlessly engaging...Hornby's writing is so fluid, he has a great knack for capturing atmosphere and skewering a character with a killer phrase." (Evening Standard).

On avait vu tour tour, par les fentres ans rideaux, la foule des midinettes et des employés prendre d'assaut, l'heure de midi, les crémeries de la place Saint-Michel, puis l'animation faiblir, la ruée de 6 heures vers les métros et les gares, la flânerie de l'apéritif...

One & Only
NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY POPSUGAR Emily Giffin, the beloved author of such novels as Something Borrowed and Where We Belong, returns with an extraordinary story of love and loyalty—and an unconventional heroine struggling to reconcile both. Thirty-three-year-old Shea Rigsby has spent her entire life in Walker, Texas—a small college town that lives and dies by football, a passion she unabashedly shares. Raised alongside her best friend, Lucy, the daughter of Walker’s legendary head coach, Clive Carr, Shea was too devoted to her hometown team to leave. Instead she stayed in Walker for college, even taking a job in the university athletic department after graduation, where she has remained for more than a decade. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes the tight-knit Walker community, Shea’s comfortable world is upended, and she begins to wonder if the life she’s chosen is really enough for her. As she finally gives up her safety net to set out on an unexpected path, Shea discovers unsettling truths about the people and things she has always trusted most—and is forced to confront her deepest desires, fears, and secrets. Thoughtful, funny, and brilliantly observed, The One & Only is a luminous novel about finding your passion, following your heart, and, most of all, believing in something bigger than yourself . . . the one and only thing that truly makes life worth living. Praise for The One & Only “A page turner.”—Southern Living “The One & Only is one to read.”—Associated Press “Giffin scores again by bringing her discerning understanding of matters of the heart.”—Family Circle “A poignant story about growing up and growing into your own skin.”—BookPage “Touching.”—New York Daily News “Deep, beautifully written . . . [Emily Giffin’s] latest focuses on a forbidden love of sorts, but in a new setting: a fictional small college town in Texas.”—Marie Claire “Each and every page of this story is entertaining. . . . Giffin is a talented writer who always comes up with a plot that is just a bit different than anything others are writing about. . . . Find a shady spot; get a cool drink, and just luxuriate in the joy of a book well written.”—The Huffington Post “Brace yourself for a tearjerker: A tale of friendship and loyalty in a small, football-crazed Texas town shows how quickly things can change when tragedy challenges all that the characters hold dear . . . [A] page-turner.”—InStyle “[Giffin’s] protagonists . . . live full, interesting lives outside the purely personal realm—no more so than Shea Rigsby, the funny, flawed, but sympathetic central character in the The One & Only.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “In bestseller Giffin’s much-anticipated latest, a young woman’s life is upended when tragedy strikes the football-obsessed Texas town she’s always called home.”—People “To fill your Friday Night Lights void: A tale of die-hard love in a diehard Texas football town from the bestselling author of Something Borrowed.”—Cosmopolitan

Prefab Elements
When you go to Home Depot to look at their ready-made cabinetry, you may not think of it as prefab, but in fact that’s just one example of the many amenities today’s manufacturers offer.

Prefab Elements discusses this phenomenon, presenting scores of new materials and items that can be used either in a total prefab environment built from scratch or as individual items in a renovation or redesign. Building on the bestselling success of Prefab Modern, this inspiring book also provides a fascinating history of how the prefab movement really got started and how architects like Frank Lloyd Wright became increasingly involved with early prefab development. A source list and glossary are included to help homeowners get up to speed on this all the new exciting opportunities prefabricated elements offer today.

Mondrian
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) je známy hlavne svojim výrokom: "Menej je niekedy viac", ktorý dokonale zahŕňa fiozofiu celej jeho tvorby. V nej sa pohybuje v sieti horizontál a vertikál, v modrej, žltej a červenej farbe.
V r. 1916 sa stretáva s teoret
ikom Theom van Doesburgom, spolu s ktorým zakladá časopis De Stijl, okolo ktorého sa neskôr vytvára skupina umelcov s tým istým menom. Ich spoločný program sa postupne vytvára pod označením neoplasticizmus, ktorému dáva teoretický základ Mondrian v
r. 1920, vydaním knihy s rovnomenným názvom. Vo svojich dielach sa všetci predstavitelia snažili nachádzať univerzálnu harmóniu, ktorá sa stala podkladom pre dizajn a architektúru. Mondrian dodáva:" Čisto tvoriace umenie rozhodne nechce ignorovať ind
ividuálnu prirodzenosť človeka ani sa vzdať "ľudskej noty", ale je spojením individuálneho a univerzálneho. Panuje tu vzájomné vyváženie oboch aspektov života... Nesprávna predstava, že je možné vyjadriť najhlbšiu podstatu existujúcej veci zobrazením
, zaviedla maliarstvo k symbolizmu a romantizmu, ku snahe popisovať. Takéto umenie je viac alebo menej ilúziou či fantáziou, lebo nie je skutočne reálne - v zmysle, ktorý tomuto slovu dávam, je mimo život." (Lamač. M. : Myšlenky moderních malířů. Pra
ha 1968)
Susanne Deicher študovala dejiny umenia na univerzite v Berlíne a doktorát získala z práce o Mondrianovi v r. 1993.
