The Invention of Wings
The No. 1 New York Times bestseller.
THE INVENTION OF WINGS by Sue Monk Kidd was selected as an Oprah Book Club 2.0 pick on December 10, 2013.
From the celebrated author of the international bestseller The Secret Life of Bees comes an extraordinary novel about two exceptional women.
Sarah Grimké is the middle daughter. The one her mother calls difficult and her father calls remarkable. On Sarah's eleventh birthday, Hetty 'Handful' Grimké is taken from the slave quarters she shares with her mother, wrapped in lavender ribbons, and presented to Sarah as a gift. Sarah knows what she does next will unleash a world of trouble. She also knows that she cannot accept. And so, indeed, the trouble begins ...
A powerful, sweeping novel, inspired by real events, and set in the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, THE INVENTION OF WINGS evokes a world of shocking contrasts, of beauty and ugliness, of righteous people living daily with cruelty they fail to recognise; and celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood against all the odds.

Ženy, jedlo a Boh
Geneen Rothová tridsať rokov študovala príčiny prejedania sa, učila a písala o ňom. Začína kľúčovou tézou: spôsob jedenia nemožno oddeliť od základných životných presvedčení človeka. Autorka nalieha, aby sme si všímali, čo skutočne potrebujeme a čo n
ájdeme v supermarkete. Predstavuje sedem základných zásad jedenia a prináša praktické rady, ktoré pomohli tisíckam žien. V závere hovorí o jedle ako o bráne k slobode a k tomu, po čom túžime najviac: o tajomstve chudnutia a žiarivej prítomnosti, ktor
ú mnohí nazývajú bohom.
Ak vo vzťahu k jedlu trpíte (jete priveľa alebo primálo, neustále na jedlo myslíte alebo sa snažíte vôbec naň nemyslieť), môžete sa oslobodiť. Stačí sa pozrieť do taniera. Odpoveď je v ňom. Neutekajte. Dívajte sa. Lebo
keď privítame to, čomu sa najviac chceme vyhnúť, dotkneme sa niečoho vo svojom vnútri, čo je svieže a živé. Dotkneme sa života, ktorý naozaj chceme.
Táto knižka je úprimný ponor do hlbokého a napĺňajúceho vzťahu s jedlom, vlastným telom... a takm
er všetkým ostatným. Jednoducho povedané, kniha Ženy, jedlo a boh je návodom, ako žiť.
Istý prvotriedny majster zenu povedal: Neexistuje správna voľba. Ale správne je správne a nesprávne je nesprávne. To isté platí aj o zásadách riadiť, ale n
azbavia váš život emocionálneho stravovania.
ZÁSADY JEDENIA
Jedzte vtedy, keď ste hladná.
Jedzte posediačky a v tichom prostredí. Nie v aute.
Pri jedení sa nerozptyľujte. Za rozptyľovanie sa považuje rádio, televízia, noviny, knihy, prudká alebo zn
epokojujúca konverzácia, hudba.
Jedzte to, čo si praje vaše telo.
Jedzte, kým nemáte dosť.
Jedzte (zámerne) tak, aby vás všetci videli.
Jedzte s radosťou, chuťou a pôžitkom.
Nezáleží na tom, či ste múdra, bohatá, tučná alebo osvietená. Všetko pre
zradí váš spôsob jedenia.
Kniha, ktorá zmení život. Oprah Winfrey
Geneen Rothová znovu boduje. Publikácia Ženy, jedlo a boh je fascinujúca. A plná hlbokých myšlienok, ktoré Vám môžu zmeniť život. Christiane Northupová

aby viedol naplnený a spokojný život.

Art of Creative Thinking
A scuba diving company faces bankruptcy because sharks have infested the area. Solution? Open the world's first extreme diving school. The Art of Creative Thinking reveals how we can transform ourselves, our businesses and our society through a deeper understanding of human creativity. Rod Judkins, of the world-famous St Martin's College of Art, has studied successful creative thinkers from every walk of life, throughout history. Drawing on an extraordinary range of reference points - from the Dada Manifesto to Nobel Prize Winning economists, from Andy Warhol's studio to Einstein's desk - he distils a lifetime's expertise into a succinct, surprising book that will inspire you to think more confidently and creatively. You'll realise why you should be happy when your train is cancelled; meet the most successful class in educational history (in which every single student won a Nobel prize); discover why graphic nudity during public speaking can be both a hindrance and surprisingly persuasive; and learn why, in the twenty-first century, it's technically illegal to be as good as Michelangelo. Be stubborn about compromise. Plan to have more accidents. Be mature enough to be childish. Contradict yourself more often. Discover the Art of Creative Thinking. *From the publishers of the international bestseller The Art of Thinking Clearly*

A Song of Shadows
Grievously wounded private detective Charlie Parker investigates a case that has its origins in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War. Broken, but undeterred, private detective Charlie Parker faces the darkest of dark forces in a case with its roots in the second world war, and a concentration camp unlike any other ...Recovering from a near-fatal shooting and tormented by memories of a world beyond this one, Parker has retreated to the small Maine town of Boreas to recover. There he befriends a widow named Ruth Winter and her young daughter, Amanda. But Ruth has her secrets. She is hiding from the past, and the forces that threaten her have their origins in the Second World War, in a town called Lubko and a concentration camp unlike any other. Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her. His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful. Solitary. But they are wrong. Parker is far from afraid, and far from alone. For something is emerging from the shadows ...

Harvest
In a centuries-old tradition, farmers in northwestern Iceland scour remote coastal plains for the down of nesting eider ducks.
High inside a vast cave in Borneo, men perched atop rickety ladders collect swiftlets' nests, a delicacy believed to be a cure for almost anything.
Eiderdown and edible birds' nests: both are luxury products, ultimately destined for the super-rich. To the rest of the world these materials are mere commodities but to the harvesters they are all imbued with myth, tradition, folklore and ritual, and form part of a shared identity and history.
These objects are two of the seven natural wonders whose stories Harvest tells: eiderdown, vicuna wool, sea silk, vegetable ivory, civet coffee, guano and edible birds' nests. Harvest follows their journey from the wildest parts of the planet, traversing Iceland, Indonesia, and Peru, to its urban centres, drawing on the voices of the gatherers, shearers and entrepreneurs who harvest, process and trade them.
Blending interviews, history and travel writing, Harvest sets these human stories against our changing economic and ecological landscape. What do they tell us about capitalism, global market forces and overharvesting? How does a local micro-economy survive in a hyper-connected world?
Harvest makes us see the world with wonder, curiosity and new concern. It is an original and magical new map of our world and its riches.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet - Wayfarers 1
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
'A quietly profound, humane tour de force' Guardian
The beloved debut novel that will restore your faith in humanity
#SmallAngryPlanet
When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.
But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.
Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.
But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

Instructions for a Heatwave
The stunning new novel from Costa-Novel-Award-winning novelist Maggie O'Farrell: a portrait of an Irish family in crisis in the legendary heatwave of 1976.
It's July 1976. In London, it hasn't rained for months, gardens are filled with aphids, water comes from a standpipe, and Robert Riordan tells his wife Gretta that he's going round the corner to buy a newspaper. He doesn't come back. The search for Robert brings Gretta's children - two estranged sisters and a brother on the brink of divorce - back home, each wih different ideas as to where their father might have gone. None of them suspects that their mother might have an explanation that even now she cannot share.
Storm
The extraordinarily moving, funny and original new novel from the author of the rapturously acclaimed BLOOM.
"You were born raging, Frances Frida Ripley. That's what happens when you're born in a storm."
Frances's parents were not prepared for her birth: they had a blanket and an easel and some paint, but not anything useful, like a car or a phone. So it's no wonder Frankie has always had a temper. She was born on a BEACH, in a STORM. What Frances was not prepared for was dying in a freak natural disaster that wiped out her whole town. Waking up 100 years later, Frances finds a whole load of new things to be angry about. And that's before the visitors start turning up, treating her home like it's a tourist attraction. Which it is.
Only there are worse people out there than tourists... and they're coming for Frankie.
Frankie is about to discover that there are things more important than herself - and that anger has its uses. Because when you have a storm inside you - sometimes the only thing to do is let it out...

Lacná kniha Sztálin utolsó napjai - A halál, amely megmentette a világot (-50%)
A XX. század sorsfordító napjairól szól ez a könyv.
1953. március 5-én távozott az élők sorából Joszif Sztálin, minden idők egyik legkegyetlenebb diktátora, akinek halálát is, halála előtti terveit is sok titok övezi a mai napig.
Az amerikai történész hátborzongatóan írja le azokat az utolsó napokat és órákat, amikor a generalisszimusz már magatehetetlenül feküdt, s közben a szűk körébe tartozó vezető elvtársak hol riadtan figyelték (hátha mégis magához tér?), hol egymást próbálták kijátszani a hatalmi harcban. Nyugaton pedig szinte lélegzet-visszafojtva várták, hogy mi következik most: káosz, még kiszámíthatatlanabb szovjet politika? Vagy esetleg az új szovjet vezetőkkel szót lehet majd érteni?
Rubenstein a Sztálin halálát megelőző eseményeket, az orvospert, a zsidóüldözést, az új világháborúra való előkészületeket is izgalmasan elemzi, de könyvének legújszerűbb és komoly vitákat kiváltó kérdése az: volt-e esély rá, hogy már akkor, közvetlenül Sztálin halála után véget érjen a hidegháború?
A Sztálin halálát követő hatalmi manőverezések és a nyugati - főleg amerikai - külpolitikai dilemmák párhuzamos története a könyv: a precíz és egyben olvasmányos történetírás ragyogó példája.
Az olvasó maga is átérzi mind a világ törékenységét (az új háború fenyegető közelségét), mind a megnyíló távlatokat - és elszalasztott lehetőségeket.
