What Great Paintings Say. 100 Masterpieces in Detail
This important addition to our understanding of art history's masterworks puts some of the world's most famous paintings under a magnifying glass to uncover their most small and subtle elements and all they reveal about a bygone time, place, and culture.
Guiding our eye to the minutiae of subject and symbolism, authors Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen allow even the most familiar of pictures to come alive anew through their intricacies and intrigues. Is the bride pregnant? Why does the man wear a beret? How does the shadow of war hang over a scene of dancing? Along the way, we travel from Ancient Egypt through to modern Europe, from the Renaissance to the Roaring Twenties. We meet Greek heroes and poor German poets and roam from cathedrals to cabaret bars, from the Garden of Eden to a Garden Bench in rural France.
As we pick apart each painting and then reassemble it like a giant jigsaw puzzle, these celebrated canvases captivate not only in their sheer wealth of details but also in the witness they bear to the fashions and trends, people and politics, loves and lifestyles of their time.

What Great Paintings Say - Italian Renaissance
Classics Under the Magnifying Glass
Italy's most precious painting treasures dissected
Surreptitious messages, concealed myths, and historical truths lie hidden in the great works of the Italian Renaissance, behind heavy gold leaf and religious symbology. Although often obscured by the archaic language of historical painting, careful analysis and expert interpretation bring these images to life. Discover masterpieces of the most beloved creative epoch in this fascinating art historical inquiry.
Images of war, romance, birth, and knowledge, works of the Italian Renaissance have much to say, when given a voice. Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen do just that--pulling apart each of the 12 featured paintings with all the talent of true detectives to offer an illuminating portal to the past.
From Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to Ucello's The Battle of San Romano, from Antonello da Messina's St. Jerome in His Study to Pinturicchio's Penelope with the Suitors, the artworks under investigation are a diverse representation of the period's innovation and brilliance, sourced directly from some of the most impressive collections in the world, including the Uffizi, Prado, and National Gallery London.

What is huncút?
Slovenskí emigranti, ktorí sa postarali o najdlhší súdny proces štátu New York od roku 1683. Policajný riaditeľ Matovič z Humenného, ktorý bojoval s talianskou mafiou spolu s dolapiteľom Al Caponeho. Slovenskí farmári z Arkansasu, ktorých dávali v kongrese za vzor pri potláčaní segregácie na juhu. Ale aj Novozámčanka, ktorá bola očitou svedkyňou najslávnejšej prestrelky divokého západu.
Všetky tieto príbehy autor objavil pri mapovaní stôp po slovenských mestečkách v Spojených štátoch amerických. V jeho reportážach sa prenesiete na malebné floridské predmestie Slavia, k družnej arkansaskej farmárskej komunite Slovak, do moderného developerského mesta na pobreží astronautov, k megalomanskému projektu na newyorskom Long Islande, ale aj k osudu jedného z prvých slovenských Amerikánov, ktorý sníval o vlastnej osade v Iowe.
Na začiatku 20. storočia žil v USA približne každý štvrtý Slovák, väčšina v priemyselných oblastiach severovýchodu, no časť sa rozhodla usadiť vo vlastných „kolóniách“. Kniha What is huncút? cez historické reportáže mapuje príbehy týchto pozoruhodných osád, zároveň odkrýva pozadie najväčšej prisťahovaleckej vlny z dnešného územia Slovenska do USA.
Kniha chce byť aj inšpiráciou pre všetkých, ktorí so svojimi rodinami v Amerike dávno stratili kontakt, aby sa o túto fascinujúcu históriu začali opäť zaujímať. Preto popri príbehoch slovenských kolónií tiež chronologicky mapuje najväčšiu prisťahovaleckú vlnu Slovákov do USA od jej počiatkov na divokom západe cez najsilnejšie roky v nebezpečných baniach a oceliarňach až po rozpad slovenských komunít, a tiež vzťahov s príbuznými v starom kraji po druhej svetovej vojne.

The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.

Before We Say Goodbye
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:
The husband with something important left to say
The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell
The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal
The daughter who drove her father away . . .
In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time.

ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it's that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn't be carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend's things.
But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them. What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again?What if they do ... and then can't nail a first date even after three do-overs?What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn't try hard enough?What if life really isn't like a Broadway play?But what if it is?WHAT IF IT'S US PRAISE FOR WHAT IF IT'S US: "Romantic, realistic and sweet, this perfectly captures New York, teenage love and life in that gray area when you're not quite an adult and not quite a child either" - Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe PRAISE FOR ADAM SILVERA: 'History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache.
There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages.' Patrick Ness 'This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more.' Nicola Yoon 'Bold and haunting.' Lauren Oliver on They Both Die At The End 'A phenomenal talent.' Juno Dawson PRAISE FOR BECKY ALBERTALLI: 'The love child of John Green and Rainbow Rowell.'

Jennifer Niven 'A wonderfully charismatic story about coming-of-age and coming out'.
Zrcadlová četba - Great Expectations - Nadějné vyhlídky (B1-B2)
Příběh malého Pipa začíná v bažinatém kraji Kentu. Když tam jednou o Vánocích náhodou potká uprchlého vězně, netuší, že se jeho život už brzy navždy změní. Sled úžasných událostí následujících po tomto setkání a tragický, záhadný příběh slečny Havishamové a její krásné, ale chladné adoptivní dcery Estelly činí z Nadějných vyhlídek jedno z nejoblíbenějších děl Charlese Dickense.
The story of young Pip starts on marshes of Kent. When he accidentally meets an escaped convict one Christmas Eve, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. The amazing events following that encounter, and the tragic, mysterious tale of Miss Havisham and her beautiful but cold adoptive daughter Estella, have made Great Expectations one of Dicken’s best-loved works.
Things I Wanted To Say - Amiket el akartam mondani
Ha tetszett az A Milllion Kisses in Your Lifetime!
Whit Lancaster az elit Lancaster középiskola hideg, szívtelen és pokolian jóképű rosszfiúja.
A gyönyörű Summer Savage nem pazarolja az idejét Whitre, de a fiú átható pillantása megbűvöli és csapdába ejti, és olyan vágyódást ébreszt benne, amit magának sem tud megmagyarázni.
Amikor egy éjszaka Whit bajba kerül, Summer behívja magához. Ellátja a sebeit. Ha csak egy pillanatra is, de megfeledkezik az óvatosságról...és Whit éppen ekkor, éjnek idején meglép...
És magával viszi Summer naplóját.
Whit most már tudja Summer legsötétebb titkait, és azzal fenyegeti, hogy közhírré teszi az iskolában. Summer ezért egyezséget köt Whittel. Az egyezség miatt Summer zárt ajtók mögött ki van téve Whit kényének-kedvének...
De mi van, ha ez éppen fordítva igaz?
