Mých prvních pět let modrá Střípky z mého dětství
Začínáme samozřejmě údaji o narození, můžeme uchovat nějaké věci na památku jako pramínek vlásků nebo výstřižky z novin. Nemohou chybět fotografie, přání do života, strom života a vlastnosti mrňouska. Dále nás knížka provází změnami ve třech, šesti a
devíti měsících života. Následují první narozeniny, Vánoce, prázdniny. Co se mi líbí, oblíbené činnosti, oblečení, nejlepší kamarádi. A máme tady druhé, třetí a čtvrté nazozeniny a jejich oslavy. Začínám chodit do školky! Mám páté narozeniny a jdu d
o školy! Jak kreslím, jak píšu a co moji spolužáci? Také něco o mém zdraví, výšce a váze. Moje trampoty s mléčnými zoubky. Nechybí otisky ručičky a nožičky po narození a v pěti letech. Kameny narození, květiny narození, hvězdná znamení a čínský horos

Hawley Richard - Now Then: The Very Best Of Richard Hawley (White & Blue/Black) 2LP
KDO: Richard Hawley je anglický zpěvák, skladatel a kytarista, který se proslavil svou výjimečnou hudební kariérou a charakteristickým zvukem. Narodil se 17. ledna 1967 v Sheffieldu, což se stalo i důležitým bodem v jeho hudební tvorbě. Hawley začal svou kariéru jako kytarista v několika místních skupinách, včetně Longpigs a Pulp, ale později se rozhodl prosadit jako sólový umělec. Jeho hudba spojuje prvky rocku, popu a country s melancholickými texty a výrazným hlasem. Jeho debutové sólové album „Late Night Final“ bylo vydáno v roce 2001 a přineslo mu uznání kritiky. Následovala řada dalších úspěšných alb, jako je „Coles Corner“ (2005), „Lady's Bridge“ (2007) a „Standing at the Sky's Edge“ (2012). Hawleyho hudba je často spojována s atmosférickými a emocionálními písněmi, které odrážejí jeho laskavý pohled na život.

Moskva-hranice
Dokumentární román Moskva-hranice narazil bezprostředně po svém vydání (1937) na dvojí neporozumění. Jeho styl záměrně překračoval hranice vytyčené pro tzv. vážnou literaturu tím, že přejímal prvky tzv. marginální literatury v míře tehdy neobvyklé. Toto nepochopení se dělo navíc v souladu s odsudky, které pramenily v politických zájmech komunistické strany. Nejznámějším se stal pro Weila zničující odsudek s názvem Pavlačový román a napsal jej na přímý pokyn Klementa Gottwalda Weilův blízký přítel Julius Fučík. Moskvu-hranici lze zjednodušeně označit za jednu z prvních kritik stalinismu. Plánované druhé vydání bylo roku 1969 zakázáno a kniha vyšla znovu až v roce 1991.
„Závěrečná zápletka má vše, co od vynalézavě zfabulované story očekáváme. Nicméně Jiří Weil si ji nevymyslel. Jenom ji dobře, koncizně a živě napsal. Celá zápletka, která tvoří vyústění a závěr knihy, je vnějškově a tradičně měřeno tou ,nejrománovější‘ složkou Moskvy-hranice, ale Weilovi se opravdu stala. Díky přímluvám Julia Fučíka Jiří Weil unikl nejhoršímu. Po XX. sjezdu KSSS, tedy v druhé polovině padesátých let, byl sovětskými místy rehabilitován, dokonce byl pozván do Moskvy a dočkal se plné satisfakce, zatímco v Československu zůstal trpěným spisovatelem v polovičním ústraní a román Moskva-hranice nesměl vyjít.“ Z recenze Josefa Vohryzka (Respekt, 23. 12. 1991)

Napoleon's Plunder and the Theft of Veronese's Feast
Napoleon's Plunder chronicles one of the most spectacular art appropriation campaigns in history and, in doing so, sheds new light on the complex origins of what was once called the Musee Napoleon, now known as the Louvre.
It centres on the story of Napoleon's theft of Paolo Veronese's Wedding Feast at Cana, a vast, sublime canvas that in 1797 the French army tore from a wall of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Feast was just one of Napoleon's spoils of war, which he claimed for the French nation and displayed in a public museum - the Louvre. He filled the former palace of the French kings with his acquisitions, and Europe flocked to Paris and hailed the Louvre as the greatest museum in the world. Did he take it for himself? Or for France? Or for the world at large?
Saltzman interweaves the stories of Napoleon's military campaigns, uncovering the treaties through which he obtained his loot, with the histories of the plundered works themselves, exploring how these masterpieces came into being. As much as a story of military might, this is an account of one of the most ambitious cultural projects ever conducted.

"Sabriel is a winner, a fantasy that reads like realism. Here is a world with the same solidity and four dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity, and intelligence. I congratulate Garth Nix. And I look forward to reading his next piece of work." --Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials trilogy
"Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, excellent high fantasy." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Nix has created an ingenious, icy world. The action charges along at a gallop. A page-turner for sure." --ALA Booklist (starred review)
"An involving fantasy that takes off running and doesn't let up the pace until the final page. The pacing is exquisite, the suspense rising and falling and rising again until the truly edge-of-your-seat finale. A winner for fantasy and adventure lovers." --BCCB

From the acclaimed author of Sunday Times no. 1 bestseller Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a YA novel of hope, love and redemption about Liz's life after life.
ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME
Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are beautiful. It's quiet and peaceful. You can't get sick and you can't get older. In Elsewhere, death is only the beginning …

Infectious Generosity
From the bestselling author, media pioneer, and curator of TED, an inspiring book about one of humankind’s defining but overlooked impulses, and how we can super-charge its potential to build a hopeful future
Recent years have been tough on optimists. Hopes that the Internet might bring people together have been crushed by the ills of social media. Is there a way back?
Chris Anderson, the head of TED, believes that we can turn outrage back into optimism. It all comes down to reimagining one of the most fundamental human virtues: generosity. What if generosity could become infectious generosity? Consider:
• how a London barber began offering haircuts to people experiencing homelessness - and catalysed a movement
• how two anonymous donors gave $10,000 each to 200 strangers and discovered that most recipients wanted to 'pay it forward' with their own generous acts
• how TED itself transformed from a niche annual summit into a global beacon of ideas by giving away talks online, allowing millions access to free learning
In telling these inspiring stories, Anderson offers a playbook for how to embark on our own generous acts - whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness - and to prime them, thanks to the Internet, to have self-replicating, world-changing impacts.

Nomads
A beguiling look at seven contemporary nomadic cultures around the world, offering a timely insight into alternative ways of life that connect us to our ancestral roots.
A fascinating and beautiful survey of seven nomadic societies spread across the continents. With delicately beautiful illustrations bringing the material to life, we learn about the Sama Bajau, fishing nomads from the Philippines who spend months at sea without ever touching land. We discover the Yanomami peoples of the Amazon rainforest whose connection to their environment informs every aspect of their lives. The Nenet nomads of Siberia follow their reindeer through blasting winds to the very edge of the Arctic Circle.
All these cultures face common pressures and problems. Governments want them to settle down and assimilate; local populations view them with suspicion; subsistence farming or herding is not viable in a cut-throat globalised world.
This book offers a timely window on a simpler way of life, and on human traditions and cultures that connect us to our distant ancestors. Elegantly and respectfully written and illustrated, this book is a captivating contribution to the growing literature on nomadic societies, and will appeal to both the education and the gift markets.

Lacná kniha Řecký poklad (-90%)
Když si mladý chlapec uchová svůj dětský sen do dospělosti, je to pěkné, když tomu naplnění svého snu podřídí veškerý svůj život, je to obdivuhodné. Heinrich Schliemann jako mladý hoch podlehl kouzlu Illiady a Odyssey, věřil v Homérovo dílo jako jiní v Písmo svaté a z chudého syna meklenburského pastora se vypracuje až na bohatého sanfranciského makléře, a to jen proto, aby mu nashromážděné jmění umožnilo na vlastní pěst vykopat Tróju. Vysmívaný a opovrhovaný, amatér a směšný diletant, tak byl všemi souzen. To, jak svou Tróju přece jen našel, vypráví Irving Stone z pohledu jeho řecké, mnohem mladší manželky. Právě od ní získal - jako první Shliemannův životopisec - přístup k bohaté rodinné kronice.
