Eric Clapton: Autobiografia
Ikona hudobnej scény Eric Clapton v dojímavom životopise otvorene a úprimne rozpráva o svojom dobrodružnom a inšpiratívnom živote a po prvý raz mapuje svoju profesionálnu kariéru.
Eric Clapton sa narodil v roku 1945 ako nemanželské dieťa. Vychovávali ho starí rodičia. Eric nevedel, kto je jeho otcom, a až ako deväťročný sa dozvedel, že žena, ktorú dosiaľ pokladal za svoju sestru, je jeho matka. V puberte mu bola útechou gitara a vďaka mimoriadnemu talentu sa stal kultovou postavou britských klubov. Podieľal sa na vzniku formácie Cream a po jej vyhlásení za „superskupinu“ sa stal celosvetovo uznávanou hudobnou hviezdou. Po dvoch rokoch sa kapela pre konfliktné egá svojich členov rozpadla.
Koncom šesťdesiatych rokov si ako hosť zahral s Jimim Hendrixom, Bobom Dylanom, ale aj s Beatles, Rolling Stones a s dlhoročným priateľom Georgom Harrisonom. Práve v čase spolupráce s Georgom sa Clapton zaľúbil do jeho manželky Pattie Boydovej. Táto zdanlivo neopätovaná láska ho uvrhla do hlbokého zúfalstva, dobrovoľnej izolácie a po čase prepadol drogám. Začiatkom sedemdesiatych rokov sa mu podarilo závislosť prekonať a zároveň vydal mimoriadne úspešný album 461 Ocean Boulevard s ohromným hitom I Shot the Sheriff. Po ňom nasledoval platinový album Slowhand s dojemnou srdcovkou Wonderful Tonight, tú zložil pre Pattie, s ktorou sa napokon koncom roka 1979 oženil. No netrvalo dlho a Eric vymenil heroín za alkohol, čo uškodilo nielen jeho hudbe, ale prispelo aj k definitívnemu rozpadu manželstva.
V osemdesiatych rokoch sa vzchopil, postupne sa zotavil z alkoholizmu a stal sa otcom. No krátko na to mu život uštedril ďalší úder – pri nehode prišiel o život jeho štvorročný syn Conor. Keby sa to stalo predtým, než sa zbavil závislostí, asi by sa vrátil k drogám. V tom čase však už bol omnoho silnejší, hľadal útechu v hudbe a zložil bolestne nádhernú pieseň Tears in Heaven.

The Library of Lost Things
From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books. There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother's hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary.
But then Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works...and straight into her heart. For the first time in her life, Darcy can't seem to find the right words. Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide behind her carefully constructed ink-and-paper wall.
Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she'll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth--even if it's messy.
This Time It's Real

Ohňová zem
Colonia Dignidad bola nemecká kolónia na juhu Čile. Rozprestierala sa na území, ktoré svojím rozsahom takmer dosahovalo veľkosť Lichtenštajnska. Od roku 1961 obyvatelia kolónie sexuálne zneužívali deti. Viacerí z páchateľov boli bývalí príslušníci SS, ktorí sa dostali do Čile prostredníctvom tajnej siete nacistických sympatizantov známej ako Die Spinne.
Osada stále existuje. Len účel sa zmenil.
V Štokholme miznú majetní finančníci a médiá majú svoju senzáciu. Miznú aj deti ulice, prisťahovalci, po tých však nikto nepátra. Polícia nedokáže zastaviť zločineckú organizáciu s názvom Légia, ktorá vládne štokholmskému podsvetiu. O zvláštne zmiznutia sa začne zaujímať Vanessa Franková, húževnatá, svojská policajná inšpektorka. Práve prežíva osobnú krízu, ale riskuje všetko, aby na vlastnú päsť vypátrala, kto uniesol mladú dievčinu zo Sýrie. Štrnásťročná Natasja prišla o celú svoju rodinu a vo Švédsku chcela začať nový život.
Séria stôp privedie Vanessu k bývalému vojakovi elitných jednotiek Nicolasovi Paredesovi. Opustil armádu, no nevzdal sa túžby po náprave tam, kde sa siaha na práva bezbranných. Nitky siahajú až do ďalekého Čile a udalosti naberajú rýchly spád. V podzemných bunkroch, pozostatkoch z čias vojenskej diktatúry, sa odohrávajú zločiny, nad ktorými tamojšia vláda už roky priviera oči.

Tukan, ktorý túŽIL LETieť
Človek čaká príbeh o tukanovi a zistí, že je to príbeh o ňom. Človek čaká, že je to text pre deti a pritom je to text pre všetkých. Človek čaká, že to bude milý a dobrodružný príbeh. A ono je to tak. Ešte viac je to však príbeh, ktorý ide do špiku (kostí, duše, ducha, srdca). Osloví presne tam, kde treba. Nie univerzálne, nie staticky. Je to príbeh, ktorý vyvoláva silné pocity. Príbeh, pri ktorého preciťovaní je človek autentickejší vo vzťahu k sebe.
V knihe je vložená pohľadnica.

Kryptomeny – vyhackuj si lepší život
O bitcoine alebo kryptomenách počul azda každý. V médiách sa objavujú vo chvíľach, kedy už navždy umreli (cena trochu padla) alebo keď sa všetci zbláznili a nakupujú (cena trochu stúpla). Málokto sa však zaoberá tým, ako kryptomeny používať vo svojom živote. Ako používať niečo, čoho cena šialene skáče? A ak nás cena nezaujíma, dajú sa kryptomeny použiť inak? Napríklad na financovanie tvorcov, či crowdfunding. Môžete si pomocou kryptomien zobrať pôžičku? Ako ich využiť v medzinárodnom obchode, či na propagáciu svojich produktov? Ako vybudovať lokálnu krypto ekonomiku vo svojej sociálnej bubline? Dá sa bitcoin využiť na rozšírenie osobných a sociálnych kontaktov? Bitcoin môžeme použiť dokonca aj ako formu “poistenia” proti zlyhaniu tradičného finančného systému.
Mother Tongue
A rich, provocative and entertaining history of women's words - of the language we have, and haven't, had to share our lives.
So many of the words we use to articulate the experiences women share feel awkward or alien. Medical terms are accurate but antiseptic. Slang often perpetuates stereotypes. Where are the plain, honest words for women's daily lives?
From the dawn of Old English to the present day, Dr. Jenni Nuttall guides readers through the evolution of the words we have used to describe bodies, menstruation, sexuality, the consequences of male violence, childbirth, paid and unpaid work, and gender.
Along the way, she argues that, paradoxically, as women have made slow progress towards equality, we've lost some of the most expressive and eloquent bits of our vocabulary.
Inspired by Nuttall's deep knowledge of the English language as well as conversations with her teenage daughter, this is a book for anyone who loves language - and for feminists who want to look to the past in order to move forward.

But how can bad employers be identified already during the application process? Do the applicants and their requirements really fit into the new team? Are the expectations raised by the employer branding fulfilled? This book clarifies these and many other questions and thus helps job seekers to avoid serious mistakes already during the job search.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

Zaľúbila som sa do nádeje
Smrteľne chorí tínedžeri sa rozhodnú žiť svoje dni naplno
Literárna prvotina dvadsaťjedenročnej študentky literatúry a klasických štúdií známej na sociálnych médiách pod pseudonymom Lancali sa stala hitom medzi mladými čitateľmi
nielen preto, že jej hlavné postavy sú tínedžeri, ktorí dlhodobo alebo opakovane pobývajú v nemocnici s chronickými ochoreniami, ale najmä preto, že autorka otvorila tému
permanentnej fyzickej bolesti, predčasnej smrti, domáceho násilia, bulímie či sebapoškodzovania.
Rozprávačka príbehu Sam sa postupne zoznámi a skamaráti so štyrmi tínedžermi, dvoma chlapcami a dvoma dievčatami. Aj keď trávia veľa času v nemocnici a ich ochorenia ich v
mnohom obmedzujú, snažia sa ukradnúť si od života aspoň trochu zábavy. Tajne chodia von, oblizujú penu z piva a vdychujú vôňu zapálenej cigarety. Vzniknú medzi nimi aj
ľúbostné vzťahy, chlapci Neo a Coeur sa zamilujú do seba a takisto aj rozprávačka Sam do Hikari. Láska v tomto románe dýcha z každej stránky. No tragédia číha hneď za rohom,
lebo dvaja z kamarátov, Neo a Coeur, zomrú.
Román obsahuje aj prvky magického realizmu, lebo rozprávačka Sam je vlastne vtelená nesmrteľná duša nemocnice, ktorá získala ľudskú podobu, aby mohla utešiť malého chlapčeka s nulovou imunitou, ktorý musel žiť v izolácii. Keď chlapec Sam dospel, zaľúbili sa, no on sa rozhodol ukončiť svoj život, lebo by nikdy nemohol žiť mimo nemocnice.
Nesmrteľná duša prijala jeho meno a stala sa z nej Sam. Ďalej pomáhala deťom zvyknúť si na život v nemocnici a uľahčiť im ho svojou spoločnosťou, kým nestretla novú lásku.

Asia Bibi: Konečne na slobode!
Nemám dobrú pamäť na dátumy, no sú dni, na ktoré nikdy nezabudnem. Tak ako na piatok 19. júna 2009. Pred západom slnka som prišla po prvýkrát do cely predbežného zadržania v Sheikhupure. Strávila som tu nasledujúce tri roky, kým som ju nevymenila za väzenie, tak ako iní menia starý dom za novší.
Kresťanku Asiu Bibi odsúdili v Pakistanskej islamskej republike na smrť za to, že sa napila vody zo studne, ktorá patrila moslimom. Čakalo ju deväť rokov väzenia. Deväť rokov znášala ponižovanie a týranie za údajné rúhanie.
Prečítajte si svedectvo obyčajnej ženy, matky, ktorá sa stala celosvetovým symbolom boja proti náboženskému extrémizmu.
V médiách ste o mne určite počuli Predstavili ste si moju kalváriu, pravdepodobne ste sa aj pokúsili vžiť do mojej kože a mohli ste tak lepšie porozumieť utrpeniu. Ale isto nepoznáte celý príbeh, preto mi dovoľte, aby som vám ho rozpovedala.
V roku 2020 kniha získala Literárnu cenu za ľudské práva, ktorú udeľuje francúzska organizácia NOUVEAUX Droits de l ´Homme.

V znamení modrého motýľa
Osud pripravil hlavnému hrdinovi Amadovi toľko dramatických zvratov, že by stačili na niekoľko životov. Na prvý pohľad sa zdá, že šťastena je mu naklonená, má úspech vo všetkom, na čo siahne. Jeho príbeh sa odohráva v exotickom brazílskom prostredí pretkávanom legendami Indiánov, ktorí žijú v amazonských dažďových pralesoch. Jedna z nich hovorí o záhadných motýľoch. Indiáni veria, že sú to duše zosnulých a živým dávajú znamenia a odkazy, len im treba zašepkať prianie či túžbu. Motýľ tajomstvo nevyzradí, odnesie ho priamo Stvoriteľovi a on ho určite splní... Amado až v dospelosti zistí, že má indiánske korene. Čaká ho dlhá cesta, aby sa v zložitom spoločenskom prostredí s novou realitou vyrovnal. Postupne dospeje k poznaniu, že harmónia prírody a viery v Boha je pilierom, o ktorý sa môže pri hľadaní zmyslu života zakaždým oprieť.
Fuck you, Perfect
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tried and tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because the ideal of perfection rules our working world as well as society and especially the Internet constantly provides us with images of successful, ambitious and happy people. But this often leads to pressure, stress, problems and overload, even anxiety and depression. The unfortunate result: false ambition has many people too firmly in its grip: they want too much and too quickly the wrong thing, but at the same time they lack the ability to develop their own potential. Often it would be enough to take a step back and change ingrained behavior patterns, but often enough aggression, fears and other negative emotions block the way. The good news is that self-efficacy can make many things easier for us than we think. For example, by setting priorities when making decisions, detaching ourselves from our own exaggerated demands for perfection, becoming aware of blockages such as procrastination traps, avoiding insecurity through unproductive brooding, learning to deal with loss of control in a relaxed manner, and thus gaining the ability to react more flexibly even to unforeseen events. This book shows you how. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice tested in practice, which also lead to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because never having to work again, only doing what you feel like doing and the money comes in virtually by itself is the old dream of many people. But what sounds at first glance like a beautiful illusion, can certainly become true. passive income is called the magic word, after all, can only really become financially independent, who lets his money work for him. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the subject of investing money, and opinions about proper financial planning are as many as there are experts. So if you want to earn money by investing properly, you would do well not to lose track in the jungle of financial products between stock trading with individual stocks, ETF and index funds, gold, real estate, etc.. Therefore it is meaningful to concern oneself more extensively with the own fortune planning, finally savings and thus the age precaution important for the pension are only destroyed by the inflation.

Truth Freestyle Duty. Live & Work confidently between Conformism & Freedom
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because self-realization and self-love sound so simple, but are very difficult to implement for many people in the conflict between social adaptation and personal freedom. There is the love of truth that we all carry within us, but also the sense of duty that sometimes forces us to be less than truthful. And there is the living out of personal desires. If only I were more self-confident" is therefore what many wish for when they are unexpectedly exposed to embarrassing situations or verbal attacks. And often, conflicts with others are compounded by one's own thought patterns and learned behaviors that block one. But authentic self-confidence, a confident demeanor and a calm approach to criticism can be learned; self-love is the key to success here. This book wants to give courage and show that it is worthwhile to follow your own ideas and values in life and not to give too much to what others say. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Natty is drawn to Hard Heart as a noble warrior in the likeness of his dear friend Uncas, "the last of the Mohicans."
