Brief Answers to the Big Questions
THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A beautiful little book by a brilliant mind' DAILY TELEGRAPH'Effortlessly instructive, absorbing, up to the minute and - where it matters - witty' GUARDIANThe world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe's biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work. Is there a God?How did it all begin?Can we predict the future?What is inside a black hole?Is there other intelligent life in the universe?Will artificial intelligence outsmart us?How do we shape the future?Will we survive on Earth?Should we colonise space?Is time travel possible?Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet.
And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind. Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.

Lacná kniha Drak v řetězech
Poutavý příběh revolty a lásky se odehrává v prostředí, jehož magie je ukryta v kameni a vodě. V kameni je to síla nefritu, která dodává člověku mimořádné schopnosti a odolnost, požít nefrit je však pouze výsadou Syna nebes a ostatní za to platí životem. Magie ukrytá ve vodě je drak spoutaný v symbolických řetězech, které vyrábí a udržuje tajemná komunita mnichů na ostrově Tchai-šu a které nosí na těle vyvolený člověk. Tím se shodou okolností stane malý chlapec Han. Potom, co jsou mniši vyvražděni piráty, dostává Han řetězy a s nimi nelidský úkol udržet draka pod hladinou, protože kdyby se zvedl a osvobodil, zničí lidstvo. Mladičký císař říše, Syn nebes, je vyhnán z Tajného města a utíká před povstalci, kteří jdou přes mrtvoly za svým cílem, zmocnit se trůnu, přes celou říši až na ostrov Tchai-šu. Cestou se císař setkává s rybářovou vnučkou Mej-feng, bere si ji s sebou za svou konkubínu, ale jejich vztah se postupně začíná měnit. Zasahuje do něj mnoho okolností: císařova matka, mladý Jü-šan, který se za císařem vydává s obrovským balvanem zázračného nefritu, pirát Li Tchun i generálové obou znepřátelených armád. Zatímco císař bojuje s povstaleckým vojskem o udržení trůnu, lékař Šuej a jeho neteř Tchien bojují o Hanovo zdraví, aby dokázal čelit tlaku, který na něj vyvíjí drak. Povstalci jsou tvrdě za vidinou nefritového trůnu a císařovy smrti a drak jde tvrdě za vidinou svobody a zničení lidstva.

Až do dna
Nad Cadoganským Domem se stahují mračna a nedávno přeměněná upírka Merit netuší, zda se jedná o temnotu před svítáním, či o klid před bouří.
Samotné město je zmítáno nepokoji kvůli paranormálním obyvatelům a stát vyhrožuje, že schválí zákon o povinné registraci nadpřirozených. Od chvíle, kdy upíři vystoupili na veřejnost, nebyla ještě nikdy situace tak vyhrocená. Kéž by se mohli na chvíli někam uklidit, aby lidé přestali panikařit.
A co čert neche, voda v Michiganském jezeře náhle zčerná a teprve teď začne jít pořádně do tuhého. Nová starostka Chicaga vytrvale tvrdí, že má vše pevně v rukou, ale Merit ví, že samou podstatu přírody dokáže změnit jen kouzlo vzešlé z té nejtemnější magie. Bude se muset obrátit na staré i nové přátele, aby zjistila, kdo za tím stojí, a zastavila ho dřív, než bude pro lidi i upíry pozdě.
Lacná kniha The Infinities
One long, languid midsummer’s day, the Godleys gather at the family home of Arden to attend their father’s bedside. Adam, the elder child, and Petra, only nineteen, find that relations with their mother, Ursula, and their dying father, old Adam, are as strained as ever. Adam’s relationship with his wife, Helen, seems too on the brink of collapse and Petra, fragile and deeply troubled, finds deepest relief in her own pain. The gods, those mischievous spirits, watch silently, flitting through this dark ménage. Unable to resist intervening in the mortals’ lives, they spy, tease and seduce, all the while looking upon the antics of their playthings with a mixture of mild bafflement and occasional envy. Old Adam – husband, father and esteemed mathematician – has made his name grappling with the concept of the infinite. His own time on earth seems to be running out, and his mind runs to disquieting memories. Little does he realize, as he lies mute but alert in the Sky room, that the gods are capable of interposing themselves in the action, and even changing time itself when it pleases them. Overflowing with a bawdy humour, and a deep and refreshing clarity of insight, The Infinities is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a delicately poised, infinitely wise look at the terrible and wonderful plight of being human. In electrifying prose, Banville captures the aching intensity, the magic and enchantment, of a single midsummer’s day in Arden.

These Hollow Vows
A heart is a dangerous thing to steal.
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER Cruel Prince meets A Court of Thorns and Roses in this sexy, action-packed fantasy about a girl who is caught between two treacherous faerie courts and their dangerously seductive princes.
Brie would do anything before making a deal with the Fae; death is better than their vicious schemes. But when her sister is taken by the sadistic king of the Unseelie court, there is nothing Brie wouldn't do to get her back-including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the rival Seelie court.
Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for the Seelie Prince, Ronan-a prince who's not quite as wicked as she once thought. Unwilling to let her heart distract her, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda. But as Brie spends time with their mysterious leader, Finn, she finds herself struggling to resist his seductive charm.
Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty . . . and with her heart.

A Bid for Fortune or Dr Nikola's Vendetta
This is the first in Boothby's series of Dr. Nikola novels. It opens with the manager of a fine London restaurant preparing for a dinner reserved in an odd letter originating from Brazil 3 months prior, for 4 persons in a private room, where 3 guests will arrive showing cards with a red dot. One will be from China, one from South Africa, one from England, plus the host, Dr Nikola, who is of unknown nationality but is later revealed to travel the world widely. The letter specifies certain preparations, such as no electric lighting but rather candles with red shades, a small jug of fresh milk, and a porcelain saucer. After the 3 guests arrive, Dr Nikola makes his appearance. He is a somewhat tall slim man, "irreproachably dressed, with a neatness that bordered on the puritanical." After they dine and the servants leave the room, Dr Nicola opens a strange basket and removes a mysterious black cat, for whom the milk had of course been requested. Dr Nikola explains why he called them together -- to execute his plans of revenge against a very wealthy someone who did him great harm. He offers each of them a large sum of money if they perform as he asks: "I demand from you your whole and entire labour. While you are serving me you are mine body and soul. I know you are trustworthy. I have had good proof that you are--pardon the expression--unscrupulous, and I flatter myself you are silent. What is more, I shall tell you nothing beyond what is necessary for the carrying out of my scheme, so that you could not betray me if you would. Now for my plans!"

The House of Gucci
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE from director Ridley Scott, starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver
The sensational true story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed that shook the Gucci dynasty, now fully updated with a new afterword
On March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, was slain by an unknown gunman as he approached his Milan office. In 1998, his ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani Martinelli--nicknamed "The Black Widow" by the press--was sentenced to 29 years in prison, for arranging his murder.
Did Patrizia murder her ex-husband because his spending was wildly out of control? Did she do it because her glamorous ex was preparing to marry his mistress, Paola Franchi? Or is there a possibility she didn't do it at all?
The Gucci story is one of glitz, glamour, intrigue, the rise, near fall and subsequent resurgence of a fashion dynasty. Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and widely acclaimed, The House of Gucci will captivate readers with its page-turning account of high fashion, high finance, and heart-rending personal tragedy.
