Strangers in the Night
Az egyikük kisvárosi szépségből lett hollywoodi szerelemistennő. A másikuk legendás énekes, akinek hangja megbabonázta az egész világot. Ava Gardner és Frank Sinatra külön-külön ellenállhatatlan személyiségek, együtt viszont robbanékony párost alkotnak.A 20. század közepén Ava csillaga egyre fényesebben ragyog, Frank karrierje azonban hanyatlik – az ellentét féltékenykedést szül közöttük, a vágyakozás dühbe csap át, és a boldogságuk lépten-nyomon veszélybe kerül. Miközben a szerelmespár a siker és a kudarc, a szenvedély és a harag hullámvasútján utazik, azon tűnődnek, vajon melyik fordulat okozza a karrierjük, valamint az egymással megosztott élet végét.A magával ragadó, kontinenseken és évtizedeken átívelő Strangers in the Night a huszadik század legizgalmasabb szerelmi történetét eleveníti meg.

Šaría pre nemoslimov
Islam je politický systém s vlastnou zbierkou zákonov, ktorá sa volá šaría. Šaría je založená na úplne iných princípoch ako náš právny systém. Mnohé z jej nariadení sa pritom týkajú aj nemoslimov. Čo znamená právo šaría pre našich občanov? Ako sa nás dotýka? Aké budú dôsledky, ak dovolíme moslimom riadiť sa šaríou a nie našimi zákonmi? Každá požiadavka moslimov je založená na myšlienke nastolenia šaríe v našej krajine. Mali by sme u nás šaríu povoliť alebo nie? A prečo? Ako môžu politici alebo úradníci rozhodovať o práve šaría, keď mu nerozumejú? Je to správne? V tejto knihe nájdete odpovede na všetky tieto otázky.

The Mozarts, Who They Were (Volume 1)
During a century dominated by absolute monarchy and powerful aristocrats, the Mozart family traversed Europe on the quest for artistic consecration and prestigious promise. Was the ambition of his father, Leopold, combined with the genius of his son, Wolfgang, enough to reach their mission?
The story of their lives, in order to get to know and understand them, follows the sojourns of the adventurous journeys that they carried out. This book takes a penetrating look at the life and experiences of the Mozart family during the 1700's: beyond the myth of Mozart, an in-depth view of their world.
In this new publication, available in an engaging two-volume series by Diego Minoia, we learn about the life and times of the Mozart family. Everything that there is to discover about these extraordinary characters and the epoch in which they lived is illustrated in this interesting and curious story that narrates approximately thirty years of their lives: travels and encounters, triumphs and disappointments, petty deceit and genius, rebellion and defeat. The story of the Mozart family, told through their own eyes, thanks to a rich collection of letters containing a wealth of information, enriched with detailed study that allows us a complete panoramic view of the circles in which they traveled, between journeys and presentations, intrigue and friendship, compliance to the powerful and desire for autonomy. An overview of a family and of a European continent that helps us understand the Eighteenth Century from a protagonist who rendered it one of the most prolific eras for music.
“The Mozarts: A Family Portrait” narrates the story of their lives until 1775, following them step by step, getting to know and understand them. Would you like to be their traveling companion? We will begin in Salzburg, where the family was formed and where Wolfgang Amadeus and his sister Maria Anna - known as Nannerl - were born to accompany them in their early travels to Munich and Vienna. We will then follow them in their very long European Grand Tour where the two young Mozarts were to become known as child prodigies, journeying through the principle courts of Germany, the Netherlands, France and England. 5,200 kilometers covered and 80 cities, visited in 1,269 days. No rock or pop star has ever accomplished such a tour!
In Volume I, we will follow Mozart to Munich, then on to Vienna, and finally Paris. Volume II will see his return to Salzburg from London, traveling through France and Switzerland. This is the moment when Leopold Mozart's ambitions become more audacious. It was time for Wolfgang Amadeus to begin his formation in becoming a composer, and there was only one place to do this: Italy. And this is how father and son, alone, without the women of the family, confronted their three journeys to Dante's Bel Paese, where they made friends and found recognition, as well as some less complimentary opinions. We will continue to accompany the Mozarts along the various visits on their tour of Italy where they visited many important cities: Verona, Mantua, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Turin, Venice. We will discover through their travels the many interesting facts about how life was lived in the country of Bel Canto - beautiful singing. In the meantime, Amadeus the child, was growing into a mature musician, brought up to perfect his craft, having already composed his first operas, as well as being able to navigate his way through the creation of the sacred and profane vocal and instrumental music. The elderly prince-bishop who had supported the Mozarts passed away and was substituted by Hieronymus Colloredo, whose relationship with the family grew constrained over time. The small and provincial Salzburg didn't allow the young Wolfgang to express his full potential, who dreamed of the capital and a prestigious post at the Imperial Court.

The Arabian Nights (EN)
Though The Arabian Nights are generally known as stories for children, they were originally tales for adults full of adventure, sexuality, violence and the supernatural. They certainly inspired the imagination of Sir Richard Burton, the nineteenth-century explorer, linguist and erotologist who brought all his worldly experience and a superbly expressive prose style to bear on the tales of Sinbad the Seaman and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story
Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sarda spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of ingenuity.
It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked – losing all but the mansion – she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie would remove the whole mansion instead – rolling it away slowly on logs – while she and her son were still living in it? Narrated with metafictional flair, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.

The result is the most complete account of the making of the series, covering every James Bond film ever made, beginning with Dr. No(1962) and ending with No Time To Die (2021), including the spoof Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again(1983).

From producers to stuntmen, directors to production designers, these personal narratives relate the true inside story from the Bond sets, offering outstanding insight into the personalities and processes behind the most successful and longest-running film franchise in cinema history.

Lacná kniha Evanjelium o úhoroch (-70%)
Koľko toho vlastne môžeme o úhoroch vedieť? Alebo o človeku? Úhor, Anguilla anguilla, je jedným z najzáhadnejších tvorov, aké príroda kedy stvorila. Ryba, ktorá dlho predstavovala prírodovedeckú záhadu, zvanú aj „úhoria otázka“. Ryba, ktorej sa bezúspešne snažili porozumieť všetci od Aristotela až po Sigmunda Freuda. Ryba, ktorá dnes vymiera, a my nevieme prečo. Evanjelium o úhoroch je aj knihou o autorovi, o jeho otcovi a o tom, ako ich úhor spojil: „,Úhory, tie sú ti zvláštne,‘ povedal otec. Vždy keď nejakého videl, vyzeral nadšene. Akoby to tajomno k životu potreboval. Akoby v ňom vypĺňalo akési prázdno. Nechal som sa tým sám presvedčiť. Rozhodol som sa, že človek nájde to, v čo chce veriť, keď to potrebuje. Úhory sme potrebovali. Bez nich by sme neboli rovnakí.“

Peter the Priest
There were six of them besides the Prior and Abbot. The seventh was away in the village, collecting the gifts of charity. "Benedicite," began the Prior. "Here is a message from our most gracious patroness." With that he laid upon the table a sealed letter in Latin, which the others passed from hand to hand. All understood it, but it was evident that not one of them liked the letter, for they turned up their noses, pursed their lips and knit their eyebrows. "One of us is bidden to the court of our most munificent patroness to educate her only son." "He is a little devil!" exclaimed the Abbot. "He talks and whistles in church," cried another. "He reviles the saints and the souls of the departed." "He torments animals." Each one had something to say; especially the last. "He is the accursed child of a mad mother." "She is the destruction of all men," continued the Abbot. "She sins against all the commandments." "She tramples under foot all the sacraments." "She is a raging fury and a sacrilegious witch." "She sent her husband to his grave with a deadly drink."
