Lacná kniha La Femme aux Melons (-90%)
Sur le dessus de cheminée, dominant l'âtre, la Femme aux melons de Cézanne et sa sueur jumelle les contemplaient, placides, belles, apparemment identiques. Cyrus s'approcha en secouant la tte : - Vraiment, Nico, je vous félicite. C'est tout fait extraordinaire. Dites-moi un secret : combien ça vous prend de temps de... - Cyrus ! Ayant entendu le bruit d'un moteur, André avait jeté un coup d'oeil par la fentre..." "

Magické střípky
I když se Andrzej Sapkowski proslavil svým geraltovským cyklem, rozhodně se neomezuje pouze na tohoto hrdinu. Tato kniha jej představuje jako autora studie o nejznámější a nejslavnější středověké legendě o králi Artušovi a rytířích Kulatého stolu, v
níž se mu úspěšně daří bořit mnohé zažité stereotypy. Na tuto studii mnohé navazuje Sapkowského osobité zpracování části artušovského mýtu v povídce Maladie. Příznivci hororů se mohou začíst do jeho romantických textů Tandaradei!, Muzikanti či Příhod
a v Mischief Creeku. Výsledkem autorovy fascinace Carrolovou Alenkou v krajině divů (a kočkami) je povídka Zlaté odpoledne. A na závěr to asi nejlepší, povídka V kráteru po bombě, reflexe možného vývoje naší části Evropy po roce 1989. V této povídce,
jakož i prakticky ve všem, co Sapkowski kdy napsal, se zračí autorův bytostný odpor k fanatismu a nesnášenlivosti všeho druhu.

Zaklínač 2. - Meč osudu
Hlavním hrdinou tvorby A. Sapkowského je zaklínač Geralt z Rivie. Jako nájemný hubitel upírů, vlkodlaků a všemožných nebezpečných netvorů pochopitelně ovládá bojové a magické techniky nezbytné pro jeho zaměstnání. niéně není pouze chladnokrevným p
rofesionálem a už vůbec ne jedním ze superhrdinů, jimiž se žánr fantasy jen hemží. Postupně vychází najevo, že neměl možnost si svůj osud svobodně zvolit, ale naopak je nucen draze platit za schopnosti a dovednosti nedosažitelné a vesměs též nepochop
itelné běžným smrtelníkům. Proto vyvolává strach a zároveň nevraživost a odpor těch, jejichž životy vlastně chrání. Přes své pozitivní působení jsou zaklínači odsouzeni k vyhnanství na samém okraji společnosti, která sice působí vnějškově středověkým
dojmem, avšak s mnoha atributy převzatými ze současnosti.

Upír z partaje
Komunismus ustupuje krvelačnému kapitalismu, což ale vůbec neznamená, že je najednou všechno skvělé. Byl to tak dobrý plán, co se mohlo stát?! Měly být zisky z vyšroubovaných norem dovolené v Bulharsku. Mělo být vykořisťování a pobízení dělnické třídy bičem v ruce vypaseného buržousta s doutníkem v zubech. Mělo být tak hezky. Mělo, ale ono se to... Upíři prožívají hromadu traumat: nejdříve je zaměstnavatel posílá na dovolenou. Jak je známo, nejhorší na rekreaci je to, že není co na práci. A bez práce člověk hloupne. Upír také, protože i upíři jsou lidé, jen o něco mrtvější. Následně drátovna krachuje, navzdory skvělému záchrannému plánu, který měl rozhodným a vítězným krokem přivést pokulhávající podnik do krvelačného kapitalismu. A zase – nejhorší na tom, že nemáte práci, je to, že není nic na práci. Možná kvůli těmto špatným zážitkům nemají oba upíři vůči bývalým estébákům tolik trpělivosti jako dřív. Vůbec je nová realita tak nějak… překvapivě podobná té staré. Inu, kapitalismus už viditelně dorazil, ale kapitalisty zapomněli dovézt.

Cesty k Šumavě
Tato kniha je podobná divoké jízdě, při níž se potkáte se šumavskými světci, proroky, čarodějkami i zapomenutými příběhy. Průvodcem je bosonohý básník Ondřej z Hory. Má dobrosrdečnou duši farářovu a zároveň spiritualitu mystika, s níž umí probouzet zaniklá místa i spící duchy různých koutů Šumavy a odemykat klíčem mýtu její skrytou poetiku. A má i urputnost, s níž se pídí po zdejších tajemstvích, ať už jsou to prameny archivní či horských potoků. (V. Just) Jedině když investujete dlouhé týdny, měsíce i roky chozením v krajině (na rozdíl chození po krajině), potkáte zde nejen Lesní matku, onu dávnou zapomenutou Bohyni a múzu hor, ale tu a tam i člověka, který je ještě s touto krajinou srostlý. Člověka-samorosta, který vám začne vyprávět. Vyprávět legendy, které otevírají oči a spojují srdce se srdcem. (J. Bílý)
Naše hriešne lži
Je to šialenec, ale nedá sa mu odolať
Mladá žena na pokraji bankrotu.
Ponuka tajomného miliardára, ktorá jej zmení život.
Mocná posadnutosť, ktorá ich môže oboch zničiť.
Sex
Klamstvá
Tajomstvá
Vášeň
Čo Callum McCord chce, to aj dostane.
A nezáleží na tom, kam až musí zájsť.

Tajomstvo kráľovstva
Knihu možno čítať ako hociktorý spomedzi autorových preslávených historických románov. Ako strhujúci príbeh a pestrofarebnú fresku konkrétneho historického obdobia. Pozornejší čitateľ však nájde niekedy až veľmi priliehavé a na zamyslenie nútiace paralely s časmi, v ktorých žila Waltariho generácia nielen vo Fínsku, ale aj v celej Európe. A tak Tajomstvo kráľovstva nie je iba literárnym stvárnením štyridsiatich dní od Ježišovho ukrižovania po Kristovo nanebovstúpenie, ale i nahliadnutím do zrkadla.
Od predchádzajúcich slovenských vydaní Waltariho kníh sa táto naša pôvodným prekladom z fínskeho jazyka (predchádzajúce knihy boli preklady prekladov najmä z nemčiny), o ktorý sme požiadali významného prekladateľa Andreja Rádyho. V jeho autorskom pretlmočení, zase priamo z fínčiny, pripravujeme aj voľné pokračovanie knihy Nepriatelia ľudstva, ktoré plánujeme vydať v roku 2023. Knihou chceme pripomenúť aj významného slovenského výtvarníka Stana Dusíka (* 6. jún 1946, Boleráz 6. december 2019, Florencia), ktorého diela sme použili ako ilustrácie a nim sme podriadili aj celkový vzhľad publikácie. Vychádza v edícii TERRA.

A Brutal Reckoning
From the devastating invasion by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century to the relentless pressure from white settlers 150 years later, A Brutal Reckoning tells the story of encroachment on the vast Native American territory in the Deep South, which gave rise to the Creek War, the bloodiest in American Indian history, and propelled Andrew Jackson into national prominence, as he led the US Army in a ruthless campaign.
It was a war that involved not only white Americans and Native Americans but also the British and the Spanish, and ultimately led to the Trail of Tears, in which the government forcibly removed the entire Creek people, as well as the neighbouring Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee nations, from their homelands, leaving the way open for the conquest of the West. No other single Indian conflict had such a significant impact on the fate of the country.
Wonderfully told and brilliantly detailed, A Brutal Reckoning is a sweeping history of a crucial period in the destruction of America's native tribes.
Mortal Secrets
Like Sarah Bakewell's How to Live and Andrea Wulf's Magnificent Rebels, Mortal Secrets is a lively and accessible portrait of a major figure - Sigmund Freud - and the unprecedented era of creativity that shaped his ideas
Some cities are like stars. When the conditions are right, they ignite, and they burn with such fierce intensity that they outshine all their rivals. From 1890 and through the early years of the 20th century, Vienna became a dazzling beacon. The city was powered by an unprecedented number of extraordinary people - artists Klimt and Schiele, thinkers such as Theodor Herzl, and fashion icons like the glamorous Empress Sisi. Conversations in coffee houses and salons spurred advances in almost every area of human endeavour: science, politics, philosophy, and the arts. The influence of early 20th century Vienna is still detectable all around us - but the place where it is at its strongest is in our heads. The way we think about ourselves has been largely determined by Vienna's most celebrated resident: Sigmund Freud. Mortal Secrets is the story of Freud's life, Vienna's golden age, and an essential reappraisal of Freud's legacy.
The Universe in a Box
Illuminating, provocative and bold, The Universe in a Box is the story of the technologies that allow us to look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos
How do scientists study the entire universe?
How can we make sense of its vast, intricate workings?
We are part of an incredible chain of events stretching 13.8 billion years into the past and even further into the future. But what does that future hold? And will we ever truly understand our cosmic home?
The Universe in a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulations - the remarkable computer codes that, over the last century, have allowed us to understand the distant past and far future of the universe. It reframes what we think we know about galaxies, black holes and matter itself. And it reveals the stories of the pioneering scientists who unlocked the mysteries of space, from redshift to improbable dark materials that pass, ghostlike, through solid rock.
Illuminating, provocative and bold, this is the story of the technologies that allow us to look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos.
The Geek Way
The bestselling, influential author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business - with extraordinary results. We're living in a time of amazing innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important of all: the innovation to the company itself. A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can - and should - be.
They do not follow the rules of the Industrial era, with their hierarchies and bureaucratic ways of thinking. They do not follow the principles preached in business schools since the dawn of time. They have all dedicated themselves to approaching business as a geek would: through trial and error, egalitarianism, evidence and stress-testing ideas in a group setting - rather than relying on the boss's instincts.
By investigating and surveying the contemporary research in psychology, economics and the behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the 'geek' leaders of today, McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world. We have entered a new age. And this age will transform how we achieve great things, now and into the future.
The future is geek.
Ageless
'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans
'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent
'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph
'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday
Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing - not cancer, not heart disease - is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?
Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilisation - one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.
Negatives
A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.
While the term emo has become a familiar label, there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late '90s would never have classified themselves as such. With the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into something new. Today, the musical and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo label has been reclaimed by those who can’t imagine life without it.
Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly put together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo. With a foreword by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and revealing essays from Frank Iero, Geoff Rickly, Norman Brannon, Matt Pryor, Jesse Johnson, Andrew McMahon, and Bob Nanna, as well as insights and bite-sized narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music history—a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring more than eighty bands, including:
- Jimmy Eat World
- Dashboard Confessional
- My Chemical Romance
- Texas Is the Reason
- Taking Back Sunday
- The Get Up Kids
- Thursday
- Fall Out Boy
- American Football
- Jawbreaker
From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and holes-in-the-wall, during long overnight drives through the middle of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels, Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
A UNIQUE LOVE LETTER FROM EXPERT AUTHOR: The first of its kind, Negatives is not a critic's take—rather a touching and heartfelt time capsule and photographic archive of the scene as told by those who lived it.
RARE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATERIAL: Founder of Fiddler Records Amy Fleisher Madden compiles hundreds of high-quality photos of more than eighty bands, as well as essays and bite-sized narratives from photographers and key musicians of the era.
STAR CONTRIBUTORS: Foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with essays by Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Jesse Johnson (Motion City Soundtrack), Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes), and Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate).
A MUSIC GIFT FOR EVERY EMO FAN: Focusing on the second and third waves (1996–2006), Negatives includes hundreds of high-quality images of bands including Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Texas Is the Reason, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, Thursday, The Promise Ring, American Football, Saosin, and more.
Perfect for:
- Emo fans of all kinds and all waves

- Musicians and aspiring musicians
- Photography enthusiasts
- Music lover's gift idea for birthday, graduation, holiday, or any special occasion
