Great Escapes - Italy
To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world's top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.
Here, some of Italy's most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are brought to life, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata-to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels-from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

The Great Plains and Other Great Experiences/Velké pláně a další velké zážitky
"Americký Středozápad je dalším tématem, který zaujal autorku po napsání knížek o našich krajanech v Texasu. Stejně jako do Texasu odcházeli lidé z českých zemí do Kansasu, Nebrasky, Iowy a dalších míst, kde se mohli usadit. Byla zde úrodná půda a i když, hlavně z počátku tu život nebyl rozhodně lehký, měli zde možnost svobodného podnikání, ať v řemeslech či v zemědělství.
Autorka se ve svých reportážích a rozhovorech ještě částečně vrací do Texasu, dále provází čtenáře českou částí Iowy, kde nechybí výlet do Spillville a vzpomínka a dokumenty na zdejší pobyt Antonína Dvořáka v roce 1893, představení tamějšího muzea bratrů Bílých, kteří vyřezávali ze dřeva světové unikátní hrací hodiny a kde je byt, kde slavný skladatel tehdy bydlel, dále představení známého českého muzea v Cedar Rapids, aj. Ale nejen muzea, české kostely, školy a hřbitovy jsou v knize popisovány. Více prostoru je věnováno současným a význačným Čechům jako např. bratrům Klimešovým (původem z Jižních Čech), kteří se starají o veškerou historii a památky Iowy, elegantní a aktivní honorární konzulce Kansasu Sharon Valasek, absolventce vojenské školy a nyní farmářce a chovatelce závodních koní Marii J., atd. "

No Escape
A devastating account of China's genocide of the Uyghurs, by a leading Uyghur activist and Time #100 nominee
Nury Turkel was born in a 're-education' camp in China at the height of the Cultural Revolution. He spent the first several months of his life in captivity with his mother, who was beaten and starved while pregnant with him, whilst his father served a penal sentence in an agricultural labour camp. Following this traumatic start - and not without a heavy dose of good fortune - he was later able to travel to the US for his undergraduate studies in 1995 and was granted asylum in the country in 1998 where, as a lawyer, he is now a tireless and renowned activist for the plight of his people.
Part memoir, part call-to-action, No Escape will be the first major book to tell the story of the Chinese government's terrible oppression of the Uyghur people from the inside, detailing the labour camps, ethnic and religious oppression, forced sterilisation of women and the surveillance tech that have made Xinjiang - in the words of one Uyghur who managed to flee - 'a police surveillance state unlike any the world has ever known'.
The Escape Artist
April 1944. Nineteen-year-old Rudolf Vrba and fellow inmate Fred Wetzler became two of the very first Jews to successfully escape Auschwitz. Evading the thousands of SS men hunting them, Vrba and Wetzler made the perilous journey on foot across Nazi-occupied Poland.
Their mission: to reveal to the world the truth of the Holocaust.
Vrba's unique testimony would save some 200,000 lives.
But he kept on running - from his past, from his home country, his adopted country, even from his own name. Now, at last, Rudolf Vrba's heroism can be known.
Lacná kniha Great Store Design (-50%)
Glamorous, fascinating, and sometimes even magical: the flagship stores of the biggest brands combine interior design and product presentation to create a unique melange of style and image. Stores serve as a window into a very special world whether they are a concept store, pop-up store or a shrine to the brand. The days are long gone when they were merely a sales floor; brands in the fashion, automotive, beauty and lifestyle sectors want to inspire shoppers with their spirit. This is what turns customers into diehard fans. Store design is the great art of staging and communicating a brand's values, and the supreme method of anchoring your brand in a customer's mind over the long term. As our daily activities move increasingly into the virtual sphere, people long for things that are accessible and approachable. Retailers must fight an increasingly difficult battle with online providers to win customers. A sophisticated mix of a wide variety of materials, spaces designed with eclectic ingredients or luxurious accents, and elegant lighting solutions become vehicles that convey the heart and image of a brand and create tactile and visual experiences for shoppers. In this manner, shops become event locations, favorite hangouts, and in the very best cases, a kind of living room for customers and friends. This opulent book shows the most amazing stores, talks to brand makers and creative artists and designers, and offers unique insights into the previously unknown world of brand design. Brands want to move us-and more and more, stores are where the magic happens.

The Escape Artist
Anne Frank. Primo Levi. Oskar Schindler . . . Rudolf Vrba.
In April 1944 nineteen-year-old Rudolf Vrba and fellow inmate Fred Wetzler became the first Jews ever to break out of Auschwitz. Under electrified fences and past armed watchtowers, evading thousands of SS men and slavering dogs, they trekked across marshlands, mountains and rivers to freedom. Vrba's mission: to reveal to the world the truth of the Holocaust.
In the death factory of Auschwitz, Vrba had become an eyewitness to almost every chilling stage of the Nazis' process of industrialised murder. The more he saw, the more determined he became to warn the Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. A brilliant student of science and mathematics, he committed each detail to memory, risking everything to collect the first data of the Final Solution. After his escape, that information would form a priceless thirty-two-page report that would reach Roosevelt, Churchill and the pope and eventually save over 200,000 lives.
But the escape from Auschwitz was not his last. After the war, he kept running - from his past, from his home country, from his adopted country, even from his own name. Few knew of the truly extraordinary deed he had done.
Now, at last, Rudolf Vrba's heroism can be known - and he can take his place alongside those whose stories define history's darkest chapter.

In Flames sú jednou z najväčších metalových kapiel na svete – nikdy sa neštítia posúvať svoje umelecké hranice a vytvárajú hudbu, ktorá je rovnako chytľavá, ako aj zdrvujúca. Kapela, ktorá vznikla v roku 1990, je považovaná za jedného z praotcov melodického death metalu a dodávateľov „göteborského zvuku“. Ich integrálna úloha pri rozvíjaní scény v Göteborgu stanovila plán pre to,čo sa dnes považuje za moderný metal, a inšpirovala takých umelcov ako Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Bury Tomorrow, Children Of Bodom a nespočetné množstvo ďalších umelcov. So štrnástimi štúdiovými albumami, nespočetnými úspešnými turné po celom svete s takými skupinami ako Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest a Slayer – s miliónmi predaných nahrávok a obrovskou fanúšikovskou základňou po celom svete sa In Flames osvedčili. byť nezastaviteľnou silou. Od ich debutu 'Lunar Strain' z roku 1994, zložitý dvojitý gitarový útok, melodické vokály a skvelé aranžmány im dali charakteristický zvuk, ktorý sa v priebehu rokov vyvíjal.Rok 2023 znamenal pre In Flames začiatok novej éry vydaním štrnásteho štúdiového albumu kapely „Foregone“ – nového majstrovského diela kapely, ktorej tvorivý výkon zmenil smer a smer modernéhometalu. V tomto roku došlo aj k opätovnému vydaniu štyroch kľúčových titulov z rozsiahleho katalógu kapely, konkrétne „A Sense of Purpose“ (2008) (15th Anniversary Edition), „Reroute to Remain“ (2002), „Come Clarity“ (2006) a „Sounds of a Playground Fading“ (2011).Aby sme pokračovali v vzostupnom trende, rok 2024 znamená opätovné vydanie štyroch ďalších vplyvných titulov: „Lunar Strain“ (30. výročie), „Colony“ (25. výročie), „Soundtrack To Your Escape“ (20. výročie) a „Siren Charms“ (10. výročie), z ktorých všetky už neboli vytlačené a sú veľmi žiadané.

Nelson Willie - The Great Divide LP
Willie Hugh Nelson (narodený 29. apríla 1933) je americký spevák, skladateľ, hudobník, politický aktivista a herec. Bol jednou z hlavných postáv outlaw country, subžánru country hudby, ktorý sa vyvinul koncom 60. rokov ako reakcia na konzervatívne obmedzenia zvuku z Nashvillu. Kritický úspech jeho albumu Shotgun Willie (1973) v kombinácii s kritickým a komerčným úspechom skladieb Red Headed Stranger (1975) a Stardust (1978) urobili z Nelsona jedného z najuznávanejších umelcov country hudby. Nelson hral vo viac ako 30 filmoch, bol spoluautorom niekoľkých kníh a bol zapojený do aktivizmu za používanie biopalív a legalizáciu marihuany. "The Great Divide" je 50. štúdiový album, ktorý vydal v roku 2002. Obsahuje niekoľko duetov a hudobných spoluprác s umelcami ako Rob Thomas z Matchbox Twenty, Lee Ann Womack, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Brian McKnight a Bonnie Raitt. Z albumu vznikli dva hitparádové singly „MendocinoCounty Line“ a „Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me)“, ktoré sa dostali na 22. a 41. miesto v rebríčkoch Hot Country Songs.

The Little Man´s Great journey
Knihu Jiřího Stacha a Lenky Uhlířové vydalo nakladatelství Meander v roce 2008. Jedinečný příběh doplněný o autentické fotografie ze světa Malého Pána získal mnohá ocenění včetně nominace Magnesia Litera na Objev roku. Režisér Radek Beran příběh zpra

ekvizity. Velký vliv na režiséra Berana měla i tvorba Jana Švankmajera. Právě u příležitosti uvedení filmu do českých i slovenských kin připravujeme druhé vydání knihy, která se stala prvotní inspirací pro film, avšak také samostatným dílem, který po
hyblivý obraz v mnohém doplňuje. Malý pán si žije spokojeně ve svém malém světě, a když má dost nudlí, nikam se zvlášť nežene. Jenže má sen, a se sny bývají jak známo jen samé potíže nenechají člověka (ani malého) v klidu. Malý pán po probuzení překvapeně zjišťuje, že mu něco schází. A tak nerad opouští svůj útulný domov a vydá se na cestu, aby tomu přišel na kloub. Kdo ví, co na konci své velké cesty najde?
