The Girl Who Lived Twice
The sixth in the Millenniumseries featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
"What will you do now?"
"I shall be the hunter and not the hunted"
The girl with the dragon tattoo is finally ready to confront her nemesis, the only woman who is evidently and in many ways her match. Salander will not wait to be hunted. When she strikes it will be a double blow: vengeance for recent atrocities, and the settling of lifelong scores.
For months now Salander has been closing in on her target.
She has moved from Stockholm, her hair is newly styled, her piercings are gone. She could pass for any other businesswoman. But not all businesswomen have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their jacket.
They do not wield the lethal power of a hacker's genius. They do not carry scars and tattoos to remind them that they have survived the unsurvivable.
The new episode in David Lagercrantz's acclaimed, internationally bestselling continuation of Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russian troll factories. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvist's number at Millenniummagazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips.
Blomkvist, at extreme risk to himself, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can.
But he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own.
And for Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always political - and deadly.
Vondráčková Helena - Tvrdohlavá 2LP
KDO: Zpěvačka, tanečnice, stepařka a herečka Helena Vondráčková patří několik dekád k absolutní špičce domácí hudební scény. Její teritorium ale přesáhlo i daleko za hranice republiky - úspěchy slavila v mnoha zemích na několika kontinentech, je stálým hostem na slovenských, polských a německých pódiích. Hrála v několika úspěšných muzikálech a filmech (především televizním evergreenu Šíleně smutná princezna). Její poslední rolí je role sestřičky ve filmové komedii Ženská pomsta.
CO: Album původních písní produkoval Kája Mařík, který je zároveň autorem hudby u poloviny z nich a k jedné napsal spolu s Oldřichem Krejčovsem i text. Ostatní svoje skladby svěřil básníkovi Josefu Peterkovi. K dalším autorům, které zpěvačka oslovila, patří Ondřej Soukup, Lešek Wronka, Václav Noid Bárta, Vašo Patejdl, Lucia Šoralová a Jakub Lenz (aka Robin Mood). Mezi dalšími textaři se objevují erudovaní Jan Krůta, Gabriela Osvaldová, Tomáš Belko, Petr Šiška a Miro Jurika. K nazpívání dvou duetů přizvala Helena Vondráčková Olgu Lounovou a operní pěvkyni Vandu Šípovou. Jako bonus je na Tvrdohlavou zařazena titulní píseň z české filmové komedie Ženská pomsta. Album je nahrané na živé nástroje a Helena Vondráčková na něm exceluje v nejrůznějších hlasových polohách a hudebních náladách.

The Pre-Raphaelites
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets and critics, founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt. Their art's romanticism, attention to detail and jewel-like colours have ensured their eternal popularity. This beautifully illustrated reference book, now back in print, is packed with examples of work by the key proponent Millais, and his many contemporaries.
Beginning with an overview of the movement it goes on to discuss the art in the context of society, place, influences, and styles and techniques. It is an ideal gift for art lovers or those new.

Endure
`This book is AMAZING!' - MALCOLM GLADWELL `If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson's Endure.' - BEAR GRYLLS How high or far or fast can humans go? And what about individual potential: what defines a person's limits? From running a two-hour marathon to summiting Mount Everest, we're fascinated by the extremes of human endurance, constantly testing both our physical and psychological limits. In Endure Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science's search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs' legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology.
Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals-whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid-and reveals that we can train to improve brain response. An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson takes us to the forefront of the new sports psychology - brain electrode jolts, computer-based training, subliminal messaging - and presents startling new discoveries enhancing the performance of athletes today, showing us how anyone can utilize these tactics to bolster their own performance - and get the most out of their bodies.

Dancer from the Dance
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALAN HOLLINGHURST
`Astonishingly beautiful... The best gay novel written by anyone of our generation' Harpers
`A life changing read for me. Describes a New York that has completely disappeared and for which I longed - stuck in closed-on-Sunday's London' Rupert Everett
Young, divinely beautiful and tired of living a lie, Anthony Malone trades life as a seemingly straight, small town lawyer for the disco-lit decadence of New York's 1970's gay scene. Joining an unbridled world of dance parties, saunas, deserted parks and orgies - at its centre Malone befriends the flamboyant queen, Sutherland, who takes this new arrival under his preened wing.
But for Malone, the endless city nights and Fire Island days, are close to burning out. It is love that Malone is longing for, and soon he will have to set himself free.
First published in 1978, Dancer from the Dance is widely considered the greatest, most exciting novel of the post-Stonewall generation. Told with wit, eroticism and unashamed lyricism, it remains a heart-breaking love letter to New York's hedonistic past, and a testament to the brilliance of our passions as they burn brightest.

A Man and His Watch
Paul Newman wore his Daytona Rolex every single day for 35 years until his death in 2008. The iconic timepiece, probably the single most sought-after watch in the world, is now in the possession of his daughter Clea, who wears it every day in his memory. Franklin Roosevelt wore an elegant gold Tiffany watch, gifted to him by a friend on his birthday, to the famous Yalta Conference where he shook the hands of Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. JFK's Omega worn to his presidential inauguration, Ralph Lauren's watch purchased from Andy Warhol's personal collection, Sir Edmund Hillary's Rolex worn during the first-ever summit of Mt. Everest...these and many more compose the stories of the world's most coveted watches captured in A Man and His Watch. Matthew Hranek, a watch collector and NYC men's style fixture, has travelled the world conducting firsthand interviews and diving into exclusive collections to gather the never-before- told stories of 76 watches, complete with stunning original photography of every single piece.
Black Panther - Volume 1 - The Complete Collection
Black Panther reinvented as a sharp and witty political satire? Believe it! T'Challa is the man with the plan, as Christopher Priest puts the emphasis on the Wakandan king's reputation as the ultimate statesman, as seen through the eyes of the U.S. government's Everett K. Ross. As the Panther investigates a murder in New York, Ross plays Devil's Advocate in an encounter with Mephisto, and a new regime seizes control in Wakanda. COLLECTING Black Panther (1998) 1-17

Gondoltad volna? - Tuti tények és totális tévhitek
Gondoltad volna?
Mindenki tudja, hogy a Mount Everest a legmagasabb hegy a Földön, és hogy egy nap 24 órából áll. Nos, valójában mindenki téved!
Ez a könyv ilyen, és ehhez hasonló tévhiteket oszlat el, és megdöbbentő tényeket tár fel: kiderül például, hogy az aranyhal memóriája kifejezetten jó, az űrben is működik a gravitáció, és hogy valójában miért csóválják a farkukat a kutyák.

The Kingdom of Speech
The 40 best books of 2016 you must read immediately -- New York Post
The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.
Tom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye-opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. THE KINGDOM OF SPEECH is a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech--not evolution--is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements.
From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long-faced, laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech.

Mountains of the Mind
Why do so many feel compelled to risk their lives climbing mountains? During the climbing season, one person a day dies in the Alps, and more people die climbing in this season in Scotland than they do on the roads. "Mountains of the Mind" pursues a fascinating investigation into our emotional and imaginative responses to mountains, and how these have changed over the last few centuries. It is rich with literary and historical references, and punctuated by beautifully written descriptions of the author's own climbing experiences. There are chapters on glaciers, geology, the pursuit of fear, the desire to explore the unknown, and the desire to get to the summit, and the book ends with a gripping account of Mallory's attempt on Everest. "Mountains of the Mind" is a beautifully written synthesis of climbing memoir and cultural history.

Miként próbálta a román hatalom megvenni és lekötelezni az erdélyi magyar politikusokat? Hogyan vált az RMDSZ a román politikai vezetés kollaboránsává? Mikor, kik és milyen célból vezették tévútra az erdélyi magyar érdekképviseletet?

Stavem hudebního undergroundu 70. let, jeho ideovými východisky a společenskou rolí se zabývá Ivan Martin Jirous ve své, dnes již věhlasné a opakovaně vydávané studii Zpráva o třetím českém hudebním obrození, kterou zde doplňuje vzpomínková stať Paula Wilsona.
Tři následující texty byly psány pro konferenci o české literatuře, která se konala na New York University v březnu 1990. K původním východiskům českého literárního podzemí na přelomu 40. a 50. let se vrací Egon Bondy.
Oblast samizdatové literární produkce 80. let mapuje ve své zprávě o Revolver Revue Jáchym Topol a undergroundová literatura 70. i 80. let je rovněž tématem druhé studie Ivana Martina Jirouse v tomto svazku.
Kniha je doplněna doslovem editora M. Machovce, aktualizovanou bibliografií anglicky vydaných textů, filmografií a diskografií.
