Everything gets more complicated when beautiful, broken-hearted socialite Magnolia Parks enters the scene and Julian finds himself entangled with her. Because for Julian, falling in love isn't just unwelcome - it could be deadly for everyone involved...

La Coma
La coma nos envuelve en una historia –inverosímil y surrealista– de dos mujeres, Ella y Ella, que parecen no tener futuro ni destino en este mundo pero que, al encontrarse más allá de esta vida y del plano terrenal, comparten una fuerza extraordinaria y transformadora.
Con escenas cuasi dramáticas, Ella nos lleva de la mano a sentir y vivir la infertilidad, la coma, la muerte, el divorcio, el cambio de residencia, la orfandad, el amor, la cárcel, los juzgados, la enfermedad, el coronavirus y la lucha por derrotarlas. Ella está inmersa en un sueno sin fin, donde no sabemos donde empieza la vida y termina la coma, donde se encuentra la muerte y empiezan las fantasías. Después de La coma, Ella reaprende a caminar a los treinta y tres anos entre piedras y por pasadizos sin fin, en libertad –y sin ella–, a regocijarse de ser una persona digna y autónoma que brinda amor a todo aquel que lo requiere aun sin pedirlo. Ella atraviesa, junto con Leonard, su esposo, momentos de lucidez y de perdición que la llevan a no comprender las emociones humanas, a perderse entre el amor y el rencor, el egoísmo y la incertidumbre. Así, a pesar de superar la línea de la muerte juntos y de emprender un cambio de residencia al casco medieval con los mellizos recién nacidos, el resultado final no es la unión, la gratitud y el amor; en su lugar Ella descubre que Leonard nunca le perdonó haber sufrido un derrame cerebral y haber truncado la vida “normal” con la que tanto sonaban.
A la par –en el mismo tiempo y espacio–, Ella también combate sus más dolorosas batallas, esas que convierten su día a día en penumbras y telaranas de pensamientos revueltos que la hacen transitar sobre terrenos ásperos, invadidos de neblina que no le permiten mostrar al mundo exterior su verdadero rostro de tristeza y de dolor. Ella carga en su mente escenas fragmentadas –y en el pecho la culpa– del accidente que la llevó a la muerte por unos minutos y que cambió toda su realidad, tornándola de tonos luminosos y claros a grises y oscuros. Sus pensamientos aún giran –igual que aquel auto en el cual derrapó– en sus noches y sus suenos y son atacados por los recuerdos borrosos, confusos y desorientados que alteran su vida. Su único bálsamo es el amor de Adam, su hermoso hijo, y la callada comprensión de Elliot, su esposo leal, quien es testigo impotente de su dolor, y que estará a su lado hasta su repentina muerte. Ella, ya sin rumbo, se hunde aún más entre la agonía de la depresión y la ausencia de su fallecido esposo.
La tabla de salvación para ambas se presenta de a poco, entre alucinaciones y el aroma a orquídeas y vida; y aunque desde siempre presienten que se reencontrarán más allá de ese mundo irreal y lleno de luz, no saben que lograrán descanso y paz con la presencia de la otra en este plano. No sospechan que las sombras, la soledad y la constante preocupación que cada una muestra cual fiel espejo, sólo es un paso más para cumplir su destino pactado en otra vida, ese que está lleno de amor y nuevos horizontes... hasta que la coma se los permita.

Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) 3CD
KDO: Legendární rocková skupina ze San Francisca vznikla v roce 1965 a patří k zásadním reprezentantům zlatého věku rockové hudby. Na přelomu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let se proslavila dlouhými a divokými improvizacemi během koncertních vystoupení. V tvorbě pracovala s vlivy nejrůznějších hudebních stylů od rocku a psychedelie, přes folk a bluegrass, až třeba ke gospelu, jazzu nebo reggae. Rozpadla se v roce 1995, kdy zemřela vůdčí osobnost skupiny, kytarista a zpěvák Jerry Garcia. V roce 2007 skupina obdržela Grammy za celoživotní přínos.
CO: Workingman's Dead je studiové album americké skupiny Grateful Dead z roku 1970, které bylo časopisem Rolling Stone vyhlášeno nejlepší deskou onoho roku.

Bouře ve stínech
Hrad Spein! Podaří se Haroldovi a jeho přátelům projít hrůzostrašným Palácem kostí až na místa, kam lidská noha po staletí nevstoupila, a zachránit Sialu?Harold a jeho podivný doprovod, sestávající z urozených elfů, kapitána královských stráží nebo gobliního šaška, trpaslíka a gnóma, konečně dorazili do cíle své cesty. Jenže tím jejich dobrodružství rozhodně nekončí, vlastně teprve začíná. Šikovný zlodějíček musí projít osmi úrovněmi strašidelného Paláce kostí, aby z hrobky generála Groka vyzvedl Duhový roh, mocný artefakt, který jediný může zachránit Sialu. V podzemních prostorách na něj nečeká nic menšího než sama podlá čarodějka Lafresa, takřka nepřekonatelné magické pasti, Pánovi služebníci, obrovští mravenci a zástupy nemrtvých, kteří se odvážného Tanečníka se stíny pokusí zabít, uškrtit, sníst nebo rozcupovat na kousky, utopit, spálit, vyhladovět, otrávit a kdo ví, co ještě. Vyváznout se zdravou kůží se zdá takřka nemožné. Jenže i kdyby se to Haroldovi podařilo, stále nebude mít vyhráno. Před ním je předlouhá cesta domů napříč územím krvelačných orků a Duhový roh povážlivě slábne. Zato armády Bezejmenného jsou na postupu…Stihne Harold navzdory všem útrapám dojít do hlavního města království včas? A jaká bude cena? Ve třetím díle Kronik Sialy se rozhodne nejen o osudu jednoho mazaného zlodějíčka a jeho exotických přátel, ale také celého světa. Nenechte si tohle napínavé dobrodružství ujít!

THE BRAND NEW FANTASY ROMANCE FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION MAGNOLIA PARKS
There is a boy of legend in the tales passed down in my family. He glides on the coat-tails of the sun, rides the wind, and freedom runs through his veins. His heart - so the legend goes - is wild.
The boy lived in a faraway land tucked behind a star, where pirates were still true, mermaids didn't hide, and fairies flew through the air like autumn leaves on a windy day. He took my mother there, just like he took my grandmother, and my great-grandmother.
Just as he would come for me.
*
Swept away from her life in London to a place beyond the stars, Wendy's granddaughter Daphne is torn between the boy of legend - Peter Pan, whose fate is irrevocably intertwined with her family's - and Jem Hook, the pirate who has captured her heart against all her better judgement.
Filled with hope and heartbreak, beauty and betrayal, dreams and devastating reality, Never Can we ever be free while we're holding on to the past? And what would happen if - just once - we truly let go?
Tanec ve stínech
Dobrodružná výprava cynického zlodějíčka Harolda a jeho nesourodého doprovodu pokračuje! Mohou hbité zlodějské prsty a důvtip zachránit celý svět?
Mír v Siale a životy jejích obyvatel ohrožuje mocný a nelítostný čaroděj a jediné, co ho může zastavit, je Duhový roh. Tento artefakt z dávných dob nabitý nesmírnou magickou silou se nachází ukrytý ve strašidelném Paláci kostí. Dostat se k němu přes všechna možná i nemožná ochranná opatření ale není vůbec snadné. Jedinou nadějí je artefakt ukrást. A tak si král a Řád mágů najmou chytrého a světem protřelého chmatáka Harolda Stína.
Harold se spolu se svým podivným doprovodem čítajícím elfskou princeznu, věčně rozhádanou dvojici gnóma a trpaslíka, zeleného gobliního šaška a bandu několika dalších královských bojovníků vydává na cestu a doslova na každém kroku dává svou kůži všanc. Jenže zakázka je zakázka a jednou dané slovo nemůže vzít slušný zloděj zpět.
Ve druhém díle trilogie Kroniky Sialy navazuje Alexej Pechov na zábavný a dobrodružný příběh Tuláka ve stínech. V Tanci ve stínech však staví Haroldovi do cesty snad ještě víc překážek a nepřátel. Zároveň mu ale dává poznat i hodnotu opravdového přátelství. Harold není typický hrdina velkých slov nebo okázalých skutků, ale nebezpečí se nebojí a odhodlaně a s vervou bojuje.
Alexej Pechov, mladý, talentovaný autor fantasy a sci-fi literatury, dosáhl obrovské popularity v Rusku a nyní svým vypravěčským umem dobývá celý svět. Využívá klasických postupů žánru, ale mísí je s neotřelým pohledem na věc a hlavně nešetří břitkým humorem. Jeho díla jsou tak vtipná, ironická, dobrodružná, ale především čtivá a napínavá.

Jane, Unlimited
An instant New York Times bestseller--from the award-winning author of the Graceling Realm series--an ambitious novel about grief, adventure, storytelling, and finding yourself in a world of seemingly infinite choices.
Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia--an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions.
Now, with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash--a glamorous, capricious acquaintance who shows up and asks Jane to accompany her to a gala at her family's island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Jane remembers her aunt telling her: If anyone ever invites to you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you'll go. With nothing but a trunkful of umbrella parts to her name, Jane ventures out to the Thrash estate. Then her story takes a turn, or rather, five turns. What Jane doesn't know is that Tu Reviens will offer her choices that can ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. But at Tu Reviens, every choice comes with a reward, or a price.

Generation X
Andy, Dag and Claire have been handed a society priced beyond their means. Twentysomethings, brought up with divorce, Watergate and Three Mile Island, and scarred by the 80s fallout of yuppies, recession, crack and Ronald Reagan, they represent the new generation - Generation X. Fiercely suspicious of being lumped together as an advertiser's target market, they have quit dreary careers and cut themselves adrift in the California desert. Unsure of their futures, they immerse themselves in a regime of heavy drinking and working in no future McJobs in the service industry. Underemployed, overeducated and intensely private and unpredicatable, they have nowhere to direct their anger, no one to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie. So they tell stories: disturbingly funny tales that reveal their barricaded inner world. A world populated with dead TV shows, 'Elvis moments' and semi-disposible Swedish furniture ...

Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, coupled with sheer curiosity, has landed him a new job working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead they simply borrow impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he's embarked on a complex analysis of the customers' behaviour and roped his friends into helping to figure out just what's going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the bookstore...It is suitable for readers of Scarlett Thomas' The End of Mr Y, Helen Hanff's 84 Charing Cross Road and Jasper Fforde's First Among Sequels.

Társadalomelmélet és társadalmi struktúra
Robert K. Merton kötete először 1949-ben jelent meg. Többszöri bővítés, átdolgozás után az 1968-ban megjelent utolsó változat vált a szociológiai gondolkodás és oktatás vitathatatlanul standard művévé. Oly sok úttörő gondolata miatt nehéz lenne kieme
lni azokat a területeket, amelyeken Merton a tudományág előrehaladása szempontjából a legjelentősebb eredményeket érte el. Mégis a szociológiai elmélet területén feltétlenül meg kell említeni a középszintű elméletekre vonatkozó gondolatait, amelyek a
tudományág elmélete és a gyakorlati kutatások között teremtenek gyümölcsöző kapcsolatot; a társadalmi struktúra és az anómia elméletét, a funkcionális elemzés alapos bírálatát, valamint a vonatkoztatási csoport-viselkedés elméletét és az erre épülő
konkrét vizsgálatokat. Elméleti felismeréseit Merton egy sor, a kötetben szintén szereplő vizsgálatban kamatoztatta, így a személyes befolyás összetevőinek elemzésében és tudománytörténeti, főként a 17. századi természettudomány és a puritanizmus öss
zefüggéseit elemző tanulmányaiban. Merton műve 1980-ban rövidített formában már megjelent a Gondolat Kiadó gondozásában. A gyakorlatilag hozzáférhetetlen műnek a mostani az első teljes kiadása.

Déli álmok
A tizenkét éves Cecelia - becenevén CeeCee - évek óta viseli gondját zavarodott édesanyjának, Camille-nak. Amikor végzetes tragédia történik, és Camille meghal, Ceecee-nek szinte semmi reménye sem marad az életben. Ekkor azonban feltűnik Dudi Caldwell, CeeCee idős rokona, aki magával viszi a kislányt Savannah városába. Cecelia egyik pillanatról a másikra az illatos és jómódú Dél fantasztikus világába csöppen. Kivételes nők között találja magát, akik valamennyien erős, színes egyéniségek.
CeeCee sok új dologgal szembesül: titkokkal, amelyeket meg kell őrizni, igazságtalanságokkal, amelyekkel szembe kell nézni, s megtanulja azt is, mit jelent tartozni valahová. Mindezek mellett azonban egy régi félelemmel is meg kell küzdenie: örökölte-e édesanyja betegségét, és ha igen, ez mennyiben pecsételi meg a sorsát.
Láttató erejű leírások, fantáziadús hasonlatok, bolondos és mégis igen bölcs szereplők - ez a nagyszerű regény a déli irodalom esszenciája.
