Madonna sa opäť zapísala do histórie, keď sa po 50. krát dostala
na čelo rebríčka Dance Club, čím sa stala prvou a jedinou umelkyňou,
ktorá mala 50 hitov v singlovom rebríčku Billboard. Na oslavu tohto
míľnika pripravila Madonna dve kolekcie. "Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones",
nová kolekcia 50 skladieb, ktorá obsahuje jej obľúbené remixy tých tanečných
hitov, ktoré sa dostali na pódium a plnili kluby už štyri desaťročia, a oklieštenú
16-skladbovú verziu s názvom "Finally Enough Love".

ktorá zažije intenzívnu sériu vydaní albmov pokrývajúcich jej prelomovú kariéru.
"50 Number Ones" oslavuje svoju vládu klubového tanca desiatkami remixov od najlepších
producentov na svete. Okrem obľúbených hitov obsahuje kolekcia aj výber vzácnych
remixov nahrávok, z ktorých viac ako 20 vychádza po prvý raz, alebo má svoj
komerčný/digitálny debut. Kolekcia bude dostupná digitálne od 19. augusta spolu s 3CD verziou.

"Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" roluje väčšinou v chronologickom poradí a predstavuje
množstvo hudobných objavov, vďaka ktorým sa Madonna stala medzinárodnou ikonou, od albumu „Holiday“
z roku 1983 až po album „I Don't Search I Find“ z roku 2019. Obsahuje remixy niektorých z najlepších
a najvplyvnejší DJs všetkých čias ako Shep Pettibone, William Orbit,
Honey Dijon a Avicii Každý remix bol pre túto kolekciu znovu remastrovaný Mikeom Deanom,
ktorý produkoval Madonnine posledné dva štúdiové albumy, Rebel Heart (2015) a Madame X (2019). Obe tieto kolekcie
vyzdvihujú You Can Dance, prvú kolekciu. Madonniných remixov všetkých čas. Album You Can Dance, ktorý tento rok
oslavuje 35 rokov, predal viac ako 5 miliónov kópií po celom svete a je stále druhým najpredávanejším albumom všetkých čias.
Zbierka tiež vzdáva hold skladbe „Everybody“, prvému singlu Madonny, ktorý 6. októbra oslavuje svoje 40. výročie.
Madonna prepracovala chronológiu albumu výberom troch úprav od You Can Dance, vrátane „Into The Groove“,
„Everybody“ a „Physical Attraction“, ktoré odrážajú atmosféru undergroundových klubov, ktoré inšpirovali
jej prvé nahrávky ako umelkyne Sire. Spolu s týmito raritami obsahujú tieto albumy verzie, ktoré vychádzajú

Rolling Stones, The - Hot Rocks (1964-1971) 2LP
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stones zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
Hot Rocks 1964–1971 je kompilačný album Rolling Stones vydaný London Records v decembri 1971. Stal sa najpredávanejším albumom Rolling Stones v ich kariére a trvalou a populárnou retrospektívou. Album obsahuje zmes hitových singlov, ako je „Jumping Jack Flash“, B-strany ako „Play with Fire“ a skladby albumu ako „Under My Thumb“ a „Gimme Shelter“, z ktorých posledná sa stala jedna z najpopulárnejších a najuznávanejších skladieb Rolling Stones. Obal albumu zobrazuje päť vnorených siluet profilov členov kapely, ktoré nasnímal rockový fotograf Ron Raffaelli v roku 1969. Fotografia kapely v Swarkestone Hall Pavilion, ktorú urobil Michael Joseph v roku 1968, bola vytlačená na zadnom obale vinylového vydania.

Two Boys Kissing
From the New York Times best-selling author of Every Day, another thoughtful and original perspective on relationships. 2014 Lambda literary award winner and 2014 Stonewall Honor Book, Two Boys Kissing explores how people fall in and out of love, and what is means to discover yourself. The two boys kissing are Craig and Harry. They're hoping to set the world record for the longest kiss. They're not a couple, but they used to be. Peter and Neil are a couple. Their kisses are different. Avery and Ryan have only just met and are trying to figure out what happens next. Cooper is alone. He's not sure how he feels. As the marathon progresses, these boys, their friends and families evaluate the changing nature of feelings, behaviour and this crazy thing called love under the watchful eyes of a Greek chorus of a generation of men lost to AIDS. David Levithan connects recent history with the present moment in a novel that is both a celebration of equality and a memorial to a lost generation. David is the New York Times best-selling author of Boy Meets Boy and Marly's Ghost. While among his many collaborations are Will Grayson, Will Grayson with Fault in Our Stars author John Green, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist with Rachel Cohn, which became a major film. Tiny Cooper from Will Grayson, Will Grayson, now has his own novel: Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story. David is also a highly respected children's book editor, whose list includes many luminaries of children's literature, including Garth Nix, Libba Bray and Suzanne Collins. He lives and works in New York. Praise for Every Day: "Every Day is a wonder." (Patrick Ness, author of Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls).

Dune
In 1965, after being rejected by more than a dozen publishing houses, a book called "Dune" was brought out by the Chilton Book Company. Its respected author, journalist Frank Herbert, had written "Dune" with nothing more in mind than to entertain his readers with the telling of a particularly complex story, one which had occupied his thoughts for more than six years. No one - not Herbert, not Chilton, not the science fiction community at the time - had any idea that "Dune" would be adopted and read by successive generations with a fervor bordering on cult worship. Or that it would prove to be merely the first of what have now become five international bestsellers about a desert world of the future - the planet Arrakis, called Dune.
Lacná kniha The Animal Kingdom (-25%)
The animal world is immensely diverse, and our understanding of it has been greatly enhanced by analysis of DNA and the study of evolution and development ('evo-devo'). In this Very Short Introduction Peter Holland presents a modern tour of the animal kingdom. Beginning with the definition of animals (not obvious in biological terms), he takes the reader through the high-level groupings of animals (phyla) and new views on their evolutionary relationships based on molecular data, together with an overview of the biology of each group of animals. The phylogenetic view is central to zoology today and the volume will be of great value to all students of the life sciences, as well as providing a concise summary for the interested general reader.

Lacná kniha Ava Gardner (-70%)
Ava Gardner was the sex symbol who dazzled the other sex symbols. Elizabeth Taylor and Lana Turner thought her the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. She drove Frank Sinatra to the brink of suicide. Ernest Hemingway carried around one of her kidney stones as a sacred memento. Howard Hughes begged her to marry him: she punched out his front teeth. Her charismatic presence, jaw-dropping beauty and scandalous adventures fuelled the legend that she became. Yet she was a farmgirl who became a reluctant goddess, and who retreated from the world's gaze for the last years of her life. Filled with fresh insights gleaned from interviews with Ava's colleagues, friends and lovers, this is the definitive biography of Hollywood's most glamorous, restless and uninhibited star.

Lacná kniha Bury Me Standing (-70%)
Gypsies have always intrigued and fascinated - partly because of their mysterious origins, and partly because of the romance of nomadism. But because they resist assimilation, having survived as a distinct people for over a thousand years, they have
also been the victims of other people's nationalism and xenophobia. In this fascinating and timely study, Fonseca focuses particularly on the gypsies in Eastern Europe (an estimated 6 million), and their future as a distinct race within a nationalist
Europe. While researching the book, Fonseca learned Romany and stayed with the gypsies, becoming deeply involved with their lives, and befriending several gypsy kings. The result is a clolourful and frank book, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity,
without lapsing into piety or romanticism.

Lacná kniha How to be an Overnight Success (-50%)
"You are not born an entrepreneur. It's a skill that you learn along the way."
When the skincare company Rodial launched its cult 'snake' serum, the press quickly called the business an 'overnight success'. However, Rodial's founder Maria Hatzistefanis had been toiling for 18 years, building the company from scratch in her bedroom. Now, the beauty boss sets out to demonstrate in this very accessible book that its success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts and a lot of patience.
Fashion-loving Maria set out with a dream to build a beauty business and - despite not excelling at school, and being fired from her first job - she has achieved it. She did it by dreaming big, working hard, surrounding herself with the best, taking risks, creating buzz and building her own personal brand, which is now a favourite with high-profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Kylie Jenner.
Crucially, she believes anyone can do this and her book, brimming with good sense, great advice, tips and secrets - all presented in an easy, friendly style - shows how.

Mucha
With his instantly recognizable decorative style, Czech artist and Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) defined the look of the fin-de-siecle. In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre and olive, his seductive compositions of patterns, flowers and beautiful women became a mainstay of illustration, posters, postcards, and advertising designs of the day. In particular, his posters of star actress Sarah Bernhardt have become paradigms of the Belle Epoque years. Alongside this delicate decoration, Mucha also harbored committed nationalist beliefs. With monumental works such as The Slav Epic, he expressed his staunch support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungari an Empire. In a period of much European turbulence, he was also a Masonic philosopher and pacifist, with many humanist ideals.

Spev o Achillovi
Spev o Achillovi vás zavedie do Grécka, do veku hrdinov.V dávnom veku hrdinov vypovedali nesmelého gréckeho princa Patrokla za mladícku nerozvážnosť z vlasti do Ftie. Z dediča trónu sa razom stal bezvýznamný dvoran žijúci v tieni kráľa Pelea a jeho výnimočného syna Achilla. Najväčší grécky hrdina Achilles bol pravým opakom Patrokla – silný, krásny, rozumný, odvážny, obratný v boji oplýval všetkým, čo zdobí a ctí muža, a navyše bol synom bohyne. Za normálnych okolností by sa nikdy nestretli, no Achilles sa jedného dňa rozhodne rozprestrieť nad potupeným princom ochranné krídla. Ich váhavý vzťah čoskoro vystrieda vrúcne a nerozlučné priateľstvo. Z chlapcov vyrastú mladí muži, udatný bojovník a nadaný liečiteľ. Ich vzájomná náklonnosť sa aj napriek nevôli Achillovej matky Tetidy, krutej morskej nymfy, ktorá nenávidí smrteľníkov, čoraz väčšmi prehlbuje.
Nad šťastím priateľov však visí hrozba neblahej veštby. Keď sa Gréci dozvedia, že spartskú kráľovnú Helenu, najkrajšiu zo smrteľných žien, uniesol trójsky princ Paris, rozhodnú sa spojiť sily a zaútočiť na mocnú Tróju. Aj Achilles sa dá zlákať prísľubom veľkej slávy a vypláva s ostatnými do boja. Nerozhodný Patroklos sa zmieta medzi láskou a strachom, ale nasleduje ho. Netuší, že ďalšie roky, plné strastí a vojenských útrap, podrobia skúške všetko, čo sa obaja naučili a čo im je drahé, a že čoskoro bude musieť prenechať priateľa neodvratnému osudu, aj keď na to nebude pripravený. Spev o Achillovi je živé, dojímavé a nápadité podanie známeho eposu o trójskej vojne. Madeline Millerová nám krásnym lyrickým jazykom spojeným so zmyslom pre dramatickosť rozpráva tragický ľúbostný príbeh odohrávajúci sa na pozadí neľútostného boja medzi bohmi a kráľmi, mierom a vojenským uznaním, medzi nesmrteľnou slávou a prostým ľudským citom. Za túto knihu získala mnoho ocenení, najvýznamnejšia z nich je Orange prize for fiction.
