The Finkler Question
WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik. Both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and together with Treslove they share a sweetly painful evening revisiting a time before they had loved and lost. It is that very evening, when Treslove hesitates a moment as he walks home, that he is attacked - and his whole sense of who and what he is slowly and ineluctably changes.

Work - Vintage Minis
Bob Slocum is anxious, bored and fearful of his job. So why is it he wants nothing more than the chance to speak at the next company convention? In this darkly satirical book, Joseph Heller takes us for a turn on the maddening hamster wheel of work. Heller's workplace is a cradle of paranoia, bravado and nauseating banter, forever shadowed by that perennial question, who's really running the show here? In Heller's hands, our daily grind has never seemed so absurd. Selected from the book Something Happened by Joseph Heller. VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS. A series of short books by the world's greatest writers on the experiences that make us human. Also in the Vintage Minis series: Drinking by John Cheever; Swimming by Roger Deakin; Liberty by Virginia Woolf; and, Death by Julian Barnes.
Star Wars: The Old Republic 1. kötet - A birodalom vére
A Galaktikus Köztársaság és a Sith Birodalom évtizedeken keresztül háborúztak.
Több száz év elteltével a Sith-ek visszatértek a Galaxisba azzal a szándékkal, hogy szétzúzzák a Köztársaságot, amely valaha száműzetésbe kényszerítette őket. Az ifjú Teneb Kelnek ez az újabb ...

Judges
Camilleri, best known for his Inspector Montalbano series, presents the charming Judge Surra who moves to a small Sicilian town in the late nineteenth century. He does not quite understand the quirky welcoming gifts from the locals, but nothing stands in the way of his quest for justice - and pastries.
Lucarelli brings us a far darker story. Judge Valentina Lorenzi - La Bambina - is so young and inexperienced she hardly merits a bodyguard. But when she barely survives an assassin's bullet, her black-and-white world of crime and punishment turns a deathly shade of grey.
In The Triple Dream of the Prosecutor, De Cataldo, a judge himself, crafts a Kafkaesque tale of a lifelong feud between Prosecutor Mandati and the corrupt Mayor of Novere. When the mayor narrowly escapes a series of bizarre assassination attempts, Mandati begins to realise that all his dreams may just be coming true.
From Italy's premiere crime authors, three novellas from every tradition of crime writing.

Piszkos Fred közbelép
Régi ismerősünk Fülig Jimmy ez alkalommal egy ifjú amerikai milliomos expedíciójának lesz fontos szereplője. Legalábbis ilyesmire lehet következtetni gondosan vezetett naplószerű levelezéséből, amelyben St. Antonio főhercegnek számol be kalandjairól. Az események végső kimenetelére mégis Piszkos Fred közbelépése válik döntővé, aki a Na, mi újság, Wagner Úr nevű hajón követi válogatott legénységével a milliomos hajóját. Az illusztris hajó legénységének és főleg a Kapitánynak lesz tehát érdeme, hogy a rég eltűnt kutató helyett egy banditát fog felfedezni az unatkozó milliomos – és az is, hogy Fülig Jimmy a „kölcsönkenyér visszajár” elv alapján a küzdelmes dicsőség ünnepléséből kimarad, s ehelyett karanténba kerül.

Appointment In Samarra
The writer whom Fran Lebowitz compared to the author of "The Great Gatsby, "calling him the real F. Scott Fitzgerald, makes his Penguin Classics debut with this beautiful deluxe edition of his best-loved book. One of the great novels of small-town American life, "Appointment in Samarra "is John O Hara s crowning achievement. In December 1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, social circuit is electrified with parties and dances. At the center of the social elite stand Julian and Caroline English. But in one rash moment born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite society and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction. Brimming with wealth and privilege, jealousy and infidelity, O Hara s iconic first novel is an unflinching look at the dark side of the American dream and a lasting testament to the keen social intelligence if a major American writer. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators."

(Observer). In May 1937, a man in his early thirties waits by the lift of a Leningrad apartment block. He waits all through the night, expecting to be taken away to the Big House.

FRED ÉS ELLIE IKREK.
Persze nem egypetéjűek (mert az lehetetlen egy lány és egy fiú esetében). Viszont ugyanazokat a dolgokat szeretik. Főleg a videojátékokat. Amiben elég jók is. Más dolgokban viszont már nem ennyire - mint például a fociban, vagy az iskolai szenyók leszerelésében.
Aztán találkoznak a Fura Fazonnal, akitől egy olyan kontrollert kapnak, amelyhez még csak hasonlót sem láttak soha. A megszokott játékaikat sem tudják vele irányítani.
Amikor azonban az ikrek rájönnek, hogy valójában mire is való, úgy érzik, a varázslatos eszköz megoldhatja minden gondjukat. Sőt, akár a legvadabb álmaikat is valóra válthatja.
Legalábbis úgy tűnik...

Co se nevešlo do dějepisu
Jan Bauer, jeden z nejplodnějších – a také nejčtenějších – autorů, věnujících se českým dějinám, sestavil tuto knihu ze sedmadvaceti zajímavých příběhů naší historie. A (snad oprávněně) v úvodu k ní tvrdí, že málokterý národ má tak zajímavé dějiny jako my – Češi, Moravané a Slezané. Třeba je to tím, že naše území bylo odedávna místem střetávání vlivů a kultur, možná i naší vynalézavostí, která však občas sklouzává k nesvornosti a lehkovážnému zapomínání na sliby…
Buď jak buď, v autorově atraktivním podání před námi defilují postavy historie dávné, ba mytické – Krok, svatý Prokop či osobnosti zobrazené na zdech znojemské rotundy svaté Kateřiny, středověké – a tady hraje velkou roli právě ona zmiňovaná nesvornost… ale i zcela nedávné (ovšem tato „nedávnost“ je pojem relativní, vždyť ruku na srdce, komu dnes něco bližšího říká třeba kdysi proslulý zločinec Lecián či „semínkový generál“ Šejna?).
Jan Bauer pátrá po jejich stopách a odkazu – a činí tak formou přístupnou, a přitom zasvěcenou, a se smyslem pro humor i mezinárodní souvislosti českých dějin. V jeho příbězích ožívají vzestup a pád prominentního vězně Karla IV. Coly di Rienzo, manželství „Good Queen Anne“, kterou její bratr Václav IV. do Anglie zřejmě opravdu prodal, osudná návštěva Polska, již vykonal svatý mučedník Jan Sarkander, stejně jako intimní i násilné poklesky vládců a šlechticů…
A to je jen malá ukázka toho, nač se můžete těšit, když jste do ruky vzali tento XVII. svazek Edice Český ČAS.
