Gabriel Peter - I/O 2CD+BD
Peter Brian Gabriel (narodený 13. februára 1950) je anglický spevák, skladateľ, hudobný producent a aktivista. Preslávil sa ako pôvodný spevák progresívnej rockovej skupiny Genesis. Po odchode z Genesis v roku 1975 začal úspešnú sólovú kariéru so skladbou „Solsbury Hill“ ako jeho prvým singlom. Jeho piaty štúdiový album So (1986) je jeho najpredávanejším albumom a je certifikovaný trojnásobne platinovým vo Veľkej Británii a päťkrát platinovým v USA. Najúspešnejší singel albumu „Sledgehammer“ získal v roku 1987 rekordných deväť cien MTV Awards na MTV Video Music Awards a podľa správy z roku 2011 to bol najhranejší videoklip MTV všetkých čias.
Po viac ako dvadsiatich rokoch, tento december konečne vychádza album „I/O“, prvý album Petra Gabriela s novým materiálom od albumu „Up“ z roku 2002.12 skladieb pôvabnosti, gravitácie a veľkej krásy, ktoré poskytujú vítané potvrdenie nielen Petrovej neustálej schopnosti písať skladby , ale aj toho vzrušujúceho hlasu, ktorý je stále dokonale, nádherne nedotknutý. Na celom albume sa inteligentné a premyslené – často na zamyslenie – piesne zaoberajú životom a vesmírom. Opakujúcim sa motívom je naše spojenie so svetom okolo nás, ale aj plynúci čas, smrteľnosť a smútok, spolu s témami ako nespravodlivosť, sledovanie a korene terorizmu. Nejde však o slávnostný zápis. Zatiaľ čo premýšľa, nálada nie je nikdy skľúčená; I/O je hudobne dobrodružný, často radostný a v konečnom dôsledku plný nádeje, zavŕšený strhujúco optimistickou záverečnou piesňou „Live and Let Live“. Vždy sa snaží posúvať hranice, I/O nie je len zbierka tuctov skladieb. Všetkých 12 skladieb podlieha dvom stereo mixom: Bright-Side Mix, o ktorý sa stará Mark 'SPIK' Stent, a Dark-Side Mix, pretvorený Tchadom Blakeom. Obe verzie sú súčasťou balenia s dvoma CD.Peter má svoj dôverný vnútorný kruh hudobníkov po ruke, čo znamená, že gitarista David Rhodes, basgitarista Tony Levin a bubeník Manu Katché sú skvelí prítomní. Niekoľko piesní nesie odtlačky prstov dlhoročného spolupracovníka Briana Ena, pričom sú tu pozoruhodné príspevky od takých ako Richard Russell, klavirista Tom Cawley, trubkári Josh Shpak a Paolo Fresu, violončelistka Linnea Olsson a dcéra Dona E. Petera Melanie, teplé sprievodné vokály, rovnako ako Ríoghnach Connolly z The Breath. Soweto Gospel Choir a švédsky čisto mužský zbor Orphei Drängar prepožičiavajú svoje nádherné harmónie a masové sláčiky New Blood Orchestra na čele s Johnom Metcalfem upokojujú a vznášajú sa.Peter tiež pozval celý rad výtvarných umelcov, aby prispeli umeleckým dielom, ktoré bude sprevádzať každú skladbu. Tucet umelcov tvorí mimoriadne pôsobivý tím spolupracovníkov: Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Olafur Eliasson, Henry Hudson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, David Moreno, Cornelia Parker, Megan Rooney, Tim Shaw, David Spriggs a Barthélémy Toguo.

Lacná kniha New Map Italy (-70%)
Today's discerning traveller is looking not merely for luxury but for a unique experience. But in this age of low-cost flights and easy travel, how do you avoid the crowds and find the hidden gems? Not via sponsored search results or thousands of indistinguishable reviews, that's for sure. What you need is on-the-ground, in-person, tried-and-trusted knowledge.
In this new guide to Italy, Herbert Ypma surprises and delights with his unequalled eye for detail and his unerring ability to judge what makes the difference between a good experience and a truly memorable one. The eighty-five experiences and tips that he maps out across the length and breadth of Italy fall into four key categories. `Staying in Character' features thirty-five places to stay, from the grand to the eccentric, all embodying the soul and character of their setting - whether it's sleeping next to a sloshing canal in Venice, dozing under the plume of Etna's active volcano or experiencing monastic silence over dinner in Umbria.
`Eclectic Experiences' surveys twenty stand-out experiences, from jumping off the cliffs near Otranto to swimming the walls of Dionysius in Ortigia, and from exploring the forgotten farmland of Sicily's interior to finding the best gelati in Rome. `Legend for Lunch' points you in the direction of the most authentic places to eat, and `Convincing Context' surveys twenty experiences enhanced by nuggets of history. Together they amount to a new map of authentic Italian experiences, making this the must-have 21st-century guide for the world's most exacting traveller.

The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece
From Academy Award-winning actor and bestselling author TOM HANKS
A wildly ambitious story of the making of a colossal, star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film, and the humble comic book that inspired it all.
Spanning 80 years of a changing America and culminating in the opening of the film, we meet a colourful cast of characters including a troubled soldier returning from war, a young boy with an artistic gift, an inspired and eccentric director, a pompous film star on the rise, a tireless production assistant and countless film crew members that together create Hollywood magic.
Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece offers an insider's take on the momentous efforts it takes to make a film. At once a reflection on America's past and present, on the world of show business and the real world we all live in.
Lacná kniha The Song Before it is Sung (-50%)
On 20 July 1944, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassin's bomb. Axel von Gottberg and his conspirators were hunted down and hanged from meat-hooks, and the executions filmed. Sixty years later, Conrad Senior is left a legacy of papers by von Gottberg's close friend, the legendary Oxford professor Elya Mendel, and becomes obsessed with what they reveal and finding the brutal film. Award-winning writer Justin Cartwright has conjured a masterwork that addresses the nature of friendship and what it means to be human, and it is a remarkable tapestry of passion, ideas, frailty and courage.

Bridgertonovci 6: Spaľujúca vášeň
Michael Stirling sa celý svoj život zahrával so ženami, ale nikdy nedovolil ani jednej, aby sa dotkla jeho srdca. V živote každého človeka ale nastane v istej chvíli zlom.

Pre Michaela Stirlinga nastala tá chvíľa vtedy, keď prvýkrát uvidel Francescu Bridgertonovú.

Bude mať Michael, ktorý sa medzičasom stal grófom Kilmartinom, odvahu vyznať svoje city ovdovelej Francesce? Jedna zvláštna náhoda možno napomôže vzájomnej náklonnosti a posunie chod udalostí tým správnym smerom...

David Bowie
Existovala vůbec někdy důležitější série hudebních alb než ta, která David Bowie vydal v letech 1970 až 1980? Jejich žánrová rozmanitost je ohromující, od mystického hard rocku a „mimozemského“ glamu po „plastický soul“ či art rock. Bowie vdechl rockové hudbě nový život a často ji posunul do oblastí, o kterých se mu dříve ani nesnilo.
Jakkoli bylo zmíněné desetileté období velkolepé, stojí Bowieho kariéra za pozornost už od dob, kdy ve swingujícím Londýně teprve nesměle aspiroval na příští superhvězdu, až po album Blackstar. To lze považovat za nejcennější dárek na rozloučenou, jaký kdy hudebník dal světu. Bowieho odkaz však nezůstává zapsaný jen v dějinách hudby: byl skvělým hercem ve filmu i na jevišti, průkopníkem internetu, milovníkem umění i kulturním fenoménem.
Tato kniha, čerpající z archivů časopisu Classic Rock, mapuje Bowieho jedinečnou cestu. Ponoříme se v ní do příběhů vzniku jeho klíčových alb od Hunky Dory a The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars přes desky, řazené do Berlínské trilogie či Let?s Dance až po pozoruhodný comeback The Next Day a dechberoucí završení zpěvákovy tvorby v podobě Blackstar. Zaposlouchejte se tedy do „Ziggyho Stardusta“, pusťte si desku Low nebo některé z jeho skvělých přehlížených alb, jako je třeba Earthling, a užijte si to...

Lacná kniha The Myths We Live By (-70%)
In this witty and mischievous book, philosopher Peter Cave dissects the most controversial disputes today and uses philosophical argument to reveal that many issues are less straightforward than we'd like to believe. Leaving no sacred cow standing, Cave uses ingenious stories and examples to challenge our most strongly held assumptions. Is democracy inherently a good thing? What is the basis of so-called human rights? Is discrimination always bad? Are we morally obliged to accept refugees?
In an age of identity politics and so-called 'fake news', this book is an essential resource for reinvigorating genuine public debate - and an entertaining challenge to accepted wisdom.

Jak vládnou světu
Existuje něco podřízenějšího než globální politika? Kamkoli se obrátíte - Evropa, Rusko, Čína, Korea, Sýrie, Střední východ - žijeme v době globálních geopolitických mocenských her. Jedním ze zasvěcených do tohoto uzavřeného světa, Pedro Banos odhaluje, že jakkoli to může moc uhlazená pomocí PR politické diplomacie, svět geopolitiky je světem války a konfliktu strategickými prostředky, kde země od nepaměti hledají vládu a moc nad svými soupeři od úsvitu času. Banos představuje tuto hru s vysokými sázkami jako sérii 22 univerzálních pravidel, jak jednat a uplatňovat vliv v mezinárodní sféře. Každý princip je kontextualizován v klasické i moderní historii, od Bismarcka po Kissingera, ale také souvisí se současným světem Trumpa, Putina a Si Ťin-pchinga. S tituly jako Kicking Away the Ladder, The Tower of Champagne Glasses, The Madman a The Mule and the Saddlebags je tato kniha praktický soubor pravidel pro zapojení, který si může užít každý . Banos představuje soubor napsaný filozoficko aforistickou nadčasovostí von Bulowa, Sun Tzua nebo Machiavelliho. Vytvořil naprosto poutavý manuál o tajemstvích toho, jak strategická moc skutečně funguje. Na západ od našich hranic se tento titul dostal na černou listinu, proč asi?
Thinking Big
When and how did the brains of our hominin ancestors become human minds? When and why did our capacity for language or art, music and dance evolve? It is the contention of this pathbreaking and provocative book that it was the need for early humans to live in ever-larger social groups, and to maintain social relations over ever-greater distances – the ability to ‘think big’ – that drove the enlargement of the human brain and the development of the human mind. This ‘social brain hypothesis’, put forward by evolutionary psychologists such as Robin Dunbar, one of the authors of this book, can be tested against archaeological and fossil evidence, as archaeologists Clive Gamble and John Gowlett show in the second part of Thinking Big. Along the way, the three authors touch on subjects as diverse and diverting as the switch from finger-tip grooming to vocal grooming or the crucial importance of making fire for the lengthening of the social day. As this remarkable book shows, it seems we still inhabit social worlds that originated deep in our evolutionary past – by the fireside, in the hunt and on the grasslands of Africa.
