A Scatter of Light
A Scatter of Light is a companion novel to the National Book Awards winner and New York Times bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and is about how the threads of family, inspiration, art, and identity are woven across generations.
Aria Tang West thought she'd be spending one last summer on Martha's Vineyard with her friends before starting MIT in the fall, where she intends to study astronomy, like her late grandfather. But after topless photos of her are posted online, she's abruptly uninvited from her friends' summer homes.
Aria's parents, a writer and opera singer with plans of their own, send Aria to stay with her artist grandmother, Joan West, in Northern California. Although Aria has never been attracted to girls before, she finds herself drawn to Joan's gardener, Steph Nichols, an aspiring musician a few years older than Aria. The only problem? Steph isn't single; she lives with her girlfriend, Lisa. But the chemistry between Aria and Steph seems undeniable, and this will be a summer that will turn her world upside down.
Z deníku ajťáka (audiokniha)
Dva roky v životě jednoho mladého chlapce, zaměstnaného v ajťárně u velké nadnárodní firmy v týmu dvou dalších přátel a spolupracovníků. Kromě blogu, twitteru a profilu na facebooku si píše deník, aby přesně věděl, co každý den v životě dělal a aby bylo co uložit do kosmické lodi, která jednou poletí s největšími poklady lidského vědění hledat novou planetu k životu. Jeho životní náplní je paření her, pití pepsi a sledování kontrolky serverů. Doma dělá to samé, proto je mu jeho práce koníčkem. Zároveň touží po setkání s osudovou ženou. O tom, jak to celé nakonec dopadne, se dozvídáme z úst autora Lukáše Pavláska, známého stand-up komika a herce. Humor textu i autorova projevu je zábavný a nutně vede minimálně k posluchačovu úsměvu, ne-li velkému smíchu.

A former FBI hostage negotiator offers a new, field-tested approach to negotiating - effective in any situation.

The Christmas Menagerie (EN)
Audiobook The Christmas Menagerie written by Minna Howard. Amelia usually loves Christmas, but this year is her first one alone since her husband passed away – though she's not quite by herself. Somehow, she's been lumbered with a menagerie of pets over the holidays, no thanks to the new village vet closing the local kennels. Between a parrot, two tortoises, and god-knows-how-many baby mice, Amelia ends up seeing a lot more of Jules the vet than she planned to.

Halo: The Thursday War
WELCOME TO HUMANITY'S NEW WAR: SILENT, HIGH STAKES, AND UNSEEN. This is a life-or-death mission for ONI's black-ops team, Kilo-Five, which is tasked with preventing the rutheless Elites, once the military leaders of the Covenant, from regrouping and threatening humankind again. What began as a routine dirty-tricks operation - keeping the Elites busy with their own insurrection - turns into a desperate bid to extract one member of Kilo-Five from the seething heart of an alien civil war. But troubles never come singly for Kilo-Five. Colonial terrorism is once again surfacing on one of the worlds that survived the war against the Covenant, and the man behind it is much more than just a name to Spartan-010. Meanwhile, the treasure trove of Forerunner technology recovered from the shield world of Onyx is being put to work. And a kidnapped Elite plots vengeance on the humans he fears will bring his people to the brink of destruction.

Great Circle
From her days as a wild child in prohibition America to the blitz and glitz of wartime London, from the rugged shores of New Zealand to a lonely iceshelf in Antarctica, Marian Graves is driven by a need for freedom and danger.
Determined to live an independent life, she resists the pull of her childhood sweetheart, and burns her way through a suite of glamorous lovers. But it is an obsession with flight that consumes her most.
Now, as she is about to fulfil her greatest ambition, to circumnavigate the globe from pole to pole, Marian crash lands in a perilous wilderness of ice.
Over half a century later, troubled film star Hadley Baxter is drawn inexorably to play the enigmatic pilot on screen. It is a role that will lead her to an unexpected discovery, throwing fresh and spellbinding light on the story of the unknowable Marian Graves.

Palackposta
2009-et írunk. Skóciában egy palackba zárt üzenetet sodor partra a tenger. A foszladozó papíron már alig olvashatók a vérrel írt sorok, amelyben egy testvérpár kér segítséget. A vizsgálódó helyi rendőrök kiderítik, hogy a palackot Dániában dobták vízbe, 1996-ban. Így kerül az ügy a koppenhágai rendőrség döglött aktákkal foglalkozó osztályára, azaz Carl Morck nyomozó asztalára. Carl, valamint segítői, Assad és Rose gyorsan rájönnek arra, hogy a levelet egy bizonyos Poul Holt írta, akit öccsével együtt raboltak el tizenhárom évvel ezelőtt, ám az eltűnésüket annak idején nem jelentették. De élnek, élhetnek-e még, s ha igen, vajon hol?

Karácsonyi történetek
A nagy angol mesemondó talán legismertebb műve az 1843-ban írt és most is időszerű Karácsonyi ének. Szegénység és gazdagság örök ellentétét állítja szembe és oldja föl Dickens a szívtelen, gazdag Scrooge megigazulásának meseszerű történetében, amelynek adaptációival (több tucat megfilmesítés, hangjáték, színpadi változat) évről évre találkozhatunk karácsony táján. A mű első megjelenésétől fogva óriási népszerűségnek örvend, s részben ezért Dickens a következő huszonöt évben még sok más karácsonyi-újévi történetet írt. A Karácsonyi történetek címen ismert klasszikus összeállítás, amely a Karácsonyi ének mellett négy további történetet - Harangszó (1844), Házi tücsök (1845), Az élet csatája (1846), A szellem embere (1848) - tartalmaz, magyarul utoljára 1958-ban jelent meg egy kötetben. Most új fordításban adjuk közre ezt az örökzöld gyűjteményt.
Kingdom of the Feared
Two curses. One prophecy. And a love more powerful than fate... All hail the king and queen of Hell.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco delivers sizzling romance, sexy secrets, and unexpected twists in this unforgettable conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked series.
Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn't just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul-but that's something the enigmatic demon can't promise her.
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew.
Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fuelled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest that's brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared. Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed. But have the true villains been much closer all along?
Me
In his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life, which is also the subject of the film Rocketman. The result is Me - the joyously funny, honest and moving story of the most enduringly successful singer/songwriter of all time. Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy with Buddy Holly glasses who grew up in the London suburb of Pinner and dreamed of becoming a pop star.
By the age of twenty-three, he was performing his first gig in America, facing an astonished audience in his bright yellow dungarees, a star-spangled T-shirt and boots with wings. Elton John had arrived and the music world would never be the same again. His life has been full of drama, from the early rejection of his work with song-writing partner Bernie Taupin to spinning out of control as a chart-topping superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in his LA swimming pool to disco-dancing with the Queen; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and George Michael to setting up his AIDS Foundation.
All the while, Elton was hiding a drug addiction that would grip him for over a decade. In Me Elton also writes powerfully about getting clean and changing his life, about finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father. In a voice that is warm, humble and open, this is Elton on his music and his relationships, his passions and his mistakes.
This is a story that will stay with you, by a living legend.

Kto si
Už názov knihy dáva tušiť, že bude reč o poznaní, presnejšie o nepoznaní či nepoznateľnosti sveta, v ktorom žijeme, ale aj sveta, ktorým žijeme. Teda sveta, ktorým je človek. Pre úvahy na tému ľudského poznania a jeho limitov rozhodol som sa pre nezvyčajný experiment, ktorým som spojil stáročia obdivované umenie renesančných majstrov s poznatkami vedy, ktorá sa pokúša, no dosť márne, odhaľovať tajomstvá ľudskej duše a ľudského mozgu. Tie tajomstvá, ktoré sú prítomné u každého z nás bez rozdielu. Nikoho nepoznáme, nevieme, kde je skrytý ten ľudský génius, ktorý hýbe technickým pokrokom, ale ani ten, ktorý vytvoril umelecké diela už v dávnej minulosti a ktoré s neutíchajúcou intenzitou obdivujú celé generácie ľudstva. Mona Lisa, ktorá je na obálke knihy, symbolizuje tieto záhady, to nepoznané. A otázka „kto si“ vyjadruje odveké túžby človeka po poznaní, ale často aj chcenie nemožného. Aký to paradox. Toto nepoznané, ba až nepoznateľné, nebráni nám, aby sme s úžasom a pokorou obdivovali výtvory ľudského génia vo všetkých oblastiach ľudskej činnosti. Na túto skutočnosť, na tento nemenný jav, ktorý sa tiahne celou históriou ľudstva, chcem upozorniť aj touto knižkou, ktorej ambíciou je dať čitateľovi informáciu o možnostiach a obmedzeniach ľudského poznania sveta, v ktorom žije, ale aj o stave poznania človeka samého a to všetko na pozadí umeleckých výtvorov renesančných majstrov, ale aj majstrov baroka a romantizmu. To, že sa vraciam do renesancie, má svoju logiku. Totiž, vedecký pohľad na vzťah duša – telo (psychika – mozog) sa začal uplatňovať práve v období renesancie, teda vtedy, keď aj výtvarné umenie zaznamenalo nebývalý rozmach, nie iba akúsi obrodu antického umenia, ale jeho koncepčné povýšenie na kvalitatívne vyššiu úroveň. Navyše, obidve tieto oblasti sa v tom čase navzájom výrazne ovplyvňovali. Tento prienik umenia a vedy som sa pokúsil vyjadriť aj vo veršoch niekoľkých básní, ktoré sú vložené do textu knihy. Tieto básne poetickou formou zdôrazňujú ten odveký filozofický, gnozeologický, umelecký, ale aj morálny aspekt ľudského konania, teda nielen konania vedcov a umelcov. Konania toho človeka, ktorého dokonca už filozofi gréckej antiky považovali za homo philosophicus, teda človeka mysliteľa – filozofa.
