Lacná kniha Pravá krev – Upíři v Dallasu
Sookie Stockhouseovou pronásleduje v poslední době smůla. Její kolegyni z baru někdo zavraždil a vypadá to, jako by to nikoho jiného nevzrušovalo. Hned nato jí přepadne nějaká bestie a otráví ji, naštěstí jí pomohou laskaví upíři, kteří vysají jed z jejích tepen.
A tím se ale vše ještě zhorší, Sookie se cítí být upírům za záchranu svého života zavázána, a když ji jeden z nich požádá o pomoc, nemůže odmítnout. Vydává se do Dallasu, aby s pomocí svých telepatických schopností vyhledala pohřešovaného upíra. Klade si jedinou podmínku, že se upíři budou držet na uzdě a žádný člověk nedojde úhony. To se však snadno slíbí, ale špatně plní. A když dojde k malé chybičce v plánu, vše se náhle zvrtne.

Nora Greyová je svědomitá, chytrá a rozhodně nemá ráda riziko. Jenže se zamiluje do Patche a to je její první chyba. Patchova minulost je totiž všechno, jen ne nevinná. A nejlepší, co kdy udělal, bylo, že se zamiloval do Nory. Seznámili se na hodině biologie a Nora chce jediné – držet se od něj co nejdál. Jenže jak se zdá, Patch je vždy o dva kroky napřed. Dívka na sobě cítí jeho pohled, i když Patch není nablízku. Cítí jeho přítomnost, i když je v pokoji sama. A když své okouzlení nedokáže déle tajit, vyjde najevo, kdo Patch ve skutečnosti je a proč ji vyhledal. A za všemi otázkami, které se dotýkají jeho minulosti, si Nora a Patch mohou navzájem položit jen jedinou: „Jak hluboko dokážeš padnout?“

Spoken Sibe: Morphology of the Inflected Parts of Speech
V současné době je šivejština jedinou ústní variantou mandžuštiny, která se ve skutečnosti užívá. S 20 000 až 30 000 mluvčích je také nejrozšířenějším mluveným tunguzským jazykem. Národ Šive, který žije na severozápadní hranici dnešního Sin-ťiangu, ujgurské autonomní provincie Číny, je tvořen potomky posádky mužů mandžuské armády z 18. století, kteří sem byli posláni poté, co byla oblast obsazena Mandžuy, kteří měli za úkol střežit nově zřízenou hranici mezi Mandžuskou říší a Ruskem. Jakožto vojáci cizí armády zůstali izolováni od domorodého tureckého a mongolského národa, což vyústilo v až zázračné zachování jazyka.
V roce 1990, kdy ústní varianty mandžuštiny v historickém Mandžusku zanikly, nebo jsou nyní na pokraji vyhynutí, šivejština stále přežívá jako mluvený jazyk všech generací národa Šive v autonomním kraji Chapchal Sibe a jako jazyk střední a starší generace prakticky ve všech ostatních šivejských osadách Sin-ťiangu. Nyní, přestože je šivejsko-čínský bilingvismus velmi rozšířen, počet šivejsky mluvících, včetně mladých lidí, je stále ještě značně vysoký.
Předkládaný popis gramatického fungování dvou hlavních slovních druhů – skloňování podstatných jmen a časování sloves – je dokumentován na příkladech a vzorových textech a poskytuje základní obecné informace o šivejštině a jejích mluvčích.
Záměrem této práce je nabídnout čtenáři komplexnější obraz šivejštiny tak, jak je používána v současné době na svém historickém a kulturním území.

Pan Burák
David Pepin svou ženu Alici miluje, zároveň
už ji ale nemůže vystát, a tak začne snít o náhodném
zásahu shůry, který ho milované
ženy zbaví. Kde se sny stýkají s realitou? A jak
do všeho zasáhne Pan Burák? V napínavém
příběhu s kriminální zápletkou, který bravurně
pracuje s psychologií a nezapře inspiraci
ve filmech Alfreda Hitchcocka, Adam Ross
zachycuje všechny odstíny emocí, jež těsné soužití v manželství přináší. Láska a násilí,
důvěrnost a nevěra, touha a odpor jako by byly rubem a lícem téže mince, která
se v letu neustále obrací. A nikdo dopředu neví, jak ta riskantní a nevyzpytatelná
hra s city, jež čeká na každý pár, nakonec dopadne. Příběh Davida a Alice se prolíná
a zrcadlí s příběhem detektiva Warda Hastrolla a jeho ženy Hannah, ale také se skutečným
případem doktora Sama Shepparda z Ohia. Ten byl v roce 1954 odsouzen
vraždu své ženy Marilyn a strávil deset let ve vězení, než jej soud v obnoveném řízení
shledal nevinným. Román talentovaného Adama Rosse vyvolal po svém vydání senzaci
a byl přeložen do řady jazyků.

Berlin Street Art
Over the past few years there has been a resurgence of interest in street art as a genre of artistic expression. Photographer Sven Zimmerman has been at the forefront of this renaissance, surveying the streets, sidewalks and facades of his home town for the most arresting, humorous, politically savvy, angry and just plain outrageous examples of street art. In this second volume he continues to look at the modern city with a fresh eye and to pay attention to images we might otherwise fail to notice. Similar in layout and design to the first collection, and graced with the same vibrant colour and impeccable composition, "Berlin Street Art 2" offers further compelling proof that the urban landscape is teeming with artistic masterpieces, if you just know how and where to find them.

Paris Architecture A Desing
It has been the French revolution that has paved the way for an inventive and creative spirit in the arts, architecture, literature, and music that enhanced the development of science and technology of the future. Even a few years back, on the 200th
anniversary of the revolution, the city presented more breath-taking monuments to modern architecture, which rival any in Europe. This book presents new and innovative projects by architects, who on the one hand, bear witness to the desire to combine
environmentalism with the urban needs and, on the other, to the diversity of influence and changes needed in the architectural outlook. All projects will be listed in alphabetical order to the architects and designers, presented in a very clear layo
ut. As far as available floor plans will give additional insights.

Hiroshige 100 Views Edo
Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world", ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western worlds visual characterization of Japan. Because they
could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, New Years greeting cards, single prints, and book illustrations, and traditionally they depicted city life, entertainment, beautiful women, kabuki actors, and landscapes. The
influence of ukiyo-e in Europe and the USA, often referred to as Japonisme, can be seen in everything from impressionist painting to todays manga and anime illustration. This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodbloc
k prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo.

Looker
If the model is the exhibitionist, then I am the voyeur.—Richard KernRichard Kern is a post-modernist punk photographer who has worked in New York city rock music and “No Wave” art circles since the 1970s. In Looker, through a series of carefully constructed vignettes, Kern’s models proceed through their daily private lives, seemingly unaware of the camera. Or are they wittingly playing into the obvious cinematic intrigue? The balance of control present in each frame is a powerful and sensual statement.Looker is thought-provoking in its gentle nature, pastoral tones, and caring reflection of private innocence—but it is also freshly and stunningly erotic, silently exuberant in its portrayal of intimacy and abandon. Richard Kern’s photographs are a peek into a world of mystery and eroticism.
