1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows
Through the sweeping, extraordinary story of his own and his father's lives, Ai Weiwei - one of the world's most famous artists and activists - tells an epic tale of China over the last 100 years.
Ai Weiwei's sculptures and installations have been viewed by millions around the globe, and his architectural achievements include helping to design Beijing's iconic Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium. But his political activism has long made him a target of the Chinese authorities, which culminated in months of secret detention without charge in 2011. Here, for the first time, Ai Weiwei explores the origins of his exceptional creativity and passionate political beliefs through his own life story and that of his father, whose own creativity was stifled.
Once an intimate of Mao Zedong, Ai Weiwei's father was branded a rightist during the Cultural Revolution, and he and his family were banished to a desolate place known as 'Little Siberia', where Ai Qing was sentenced to hard labour cleaning public toilets. Ai Weiwei recounts his childhood in exile, and his difficult decision to leave his family to study art in America. With candour and wit, he details his return to China and his rise from artistic unknown to art world superstar and international human rights activist - and how his work has been shaped by living under a totalitarian regime.
At once ambitious and intimate, 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows offers a deep understanding of the forces that have shaped modern China, and serves as a timely reminder of the urgent need to protect freedom of expression.
Kolotoč
Jelena Bačić Alimpić je autorkou bestselleru Kolotoč, 2019, ktorý bol preložený do macedónčiny, turečtiny a bulharčiny.
Bestseller Kolotoč bol odmenený cenou Zlatni Hit Liber a dva roky za sebou vyhlásený za najčítanejšiu knihu domáceho autora v Srbsku, z ktorej sa predalo viac ako 180.000 ks.
Autorka opisuje intímnu spoveď baleríny krehkého tela a obrovského ducha, ktorý zanechal stopu na všetkých veľkých baletných scénach.
Je to príbeh o malých - veľkých ľudoch, ľuďoch žijúcich na salaši, o umelcoch, básnikoch a ich múzach, o mestečkách, ránach, ktoré voňajú dulou, o nezabudnuteľných ruských zimách...
Autorka nám na začiatku románu odhalí Annin príbeh, ale cez retrospektívu nás šikovne vedie jej životom, ktorý je pre čitateľa plný obratov a prekvapení - až po samotný koniec.
Anna Balint je jednou z najobľúbenejších hrdiniek súčasnej srbskej literatúry. Román Kolotoč je silnou cyklickou metaforou života o dvoch tak blízkych, a predsa veľmi odlišných svetoch - Srbska a Ruska.
Lacná kniha True Tale of the Monster Billy (-90%)
For fans of Room by Emma Donoghue, an extraordinary novel about a child who is kept incarcerated - from the bestselling, prizewinning author of Skellig Billy Deane is the child of an illicit relationship between a priest and a young hairdresser. He is born on the very day that terrorists attack his town, and the fact that he survives and flourishes persuades his father that he is a special child with special gifts. Even so, Billy's birth can't be made public, and he spends his chidhood in a single room, dreaming of other worlds, occasionally visited at night by his father. When the visits come to a sudden end, his mother decides it's time for Billy to come out into the world, helped by a couple of friendly townspeople, and soon he finds that his supposed gifts bring him a certain celebrity. But his father hasn't gone for good, and there's a terrible reckoning still to be made. David Almond's first adult novel is a brilliant account of a child long kept hidden from the world who finally finds that he can establish his place in it - only to be confronted with a past that won't go away. 'A lovely book, full of wonderments. Billy's memories have real lyricism and a beguiling narrative voice' Sunday Times 'Not only dramatically and emotionally suspenseful, it is also vividly drawn and wonderfully well-paced, as we might expect from a master storyteller' John Burnside, Guardian David Almond is the author of Skellig and other novels and plays for children. He has won many distuinguished awards including the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2010, the Carnegie Medal and two Whitbreads.

Priatelia, lásky a jedna hrozná potvora
Milovaná hviezda seriálu Priatelia nás v úprimnom, zábavnom a otvorenom životopise zavedie do zákulisia populárneho sitkomu a zdôverí sa so svojím bojom so závislosťou.
„Ahojte, volám sa Matthew, ale asi ma poznáte pod iným menom. Priatelia ma oslovujú Matty. A už som mal byť mŕtvy.“
Týmito slovami sa začína strhujúci príbeh uznávaného herca Matthewa Perryho. Jeho cesta viedla od detských snov o sláve cez závislosť až k vyliečeniu, ktoré podnietil strach zo smrti. Matthewovi sa stali nemocnice a liečebne dočasným domovom. Predtým prežil náročné detstvo. Ako päťročný pendloval medzi rozvedenými rodičmi. V štrnástich sa vypracoval na kanadskú tenisovú hviezdu. Ako dvadsaťštyriročný získal jednu z vytúžených rolí v pilotnom diele seriálu, vtedy ešte s názvom Priatelia ako my... A potom sa to rozbehlo.
V neobyčajnom príbehu vyrozprávanom s jeho typickým humorom veľmi otvorene hovorí o rozpadnutej rodine, ktorá ho vychovala (a nechala napospas sebe samému), o túžbe po uznaní, ktorá mu priniesla slávu aj vnútornú prázdnotu. Tú nezaplnilo ani splnenie najväčších snov. Zároveň rozpráva o pokoji, za ktorý vďačí abstinencii, a o tom, ako vnímal všadeprítomnosť Priateľov. Nevynechá ani historky s hereckými kolegami či s ďalšími hviezdami, s ktorými sa počas kariéry stretol.

Lacná kniha The Paper Palace (-70%)
Before anyone else is awake, on a perfect August morning, Elle Bishop heads out for a swim in the glorious freshwater pond below 'The Paper Palace' -- the gently decaying summer camp in the back woods of Cape Cod where her family has spent every summer for generations. As she passes the house, Elle glances through the screen porch at the uncleared table from the dinner the previous evening; empty wine glasses, candle wax on the tablecloth, echoes of laughter of family and friends. Then she dives beneath the surface of the freezing water to the shocking memory of the sudden passionate encounter she had the night before, up against the wall behind the house, as her husband and mother chatted to the guests inside.
So begins a story that unfolds over twenty-four hours and across fifty years, as decades of family legacies, love, lies, secrets, and one unspeakable incident in her childhood lead Elle to the precipice of a life-changing decision. Over the next twenty-four hours, Elle will have to decide between the world she has made with her much-loved husband, Peter, and the life she imagined would be hers with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn't forever changed the course of their lives.
Tender yet devastating, The Paper Palace is a masterful novel that brilliantly illuminates the tensions between desire and safety; the legacy of tragedy, and the crimes and misdemeanours of families.

Kapačka, cévka, houkačka
Respektovaný australský anesteziolog je autorem pozoruhodné knihy. S odborným vhledem i milým humorem připomíná, že lidé - všichni lidé - stárnou a umírají. Podivuje se, jak je možné, že tato prostá skutečnost pořád lidstvo překvapuje. Dodává odvahu k tomu, abychom se připravili na slábnutí a odcházení našich rodičů a starých blízkých, ale i sebe samých. Přímo a bez velkých okolků nám důrazně připomíná, že není nikdo ani nic, kdo to za nás lépe zařídí. Nemocnice, natož jednotky intenzivní péče, rozhodně nejsou pro staré a umírající lidi vhodné prostředí. Autor pracuje s konkrétními příběhy, na nichž to jasně dokládá, a třebaže píše o umírání a smrti hodně zostra, jeho kniha je přívětivá a okouzlující. Z anglického originálu The Good Life to the End (Taking control of our inevitable journey through ageing and death) přeložila Lenka Kapsová.

One of the Girls
The six of us arrived on that beautiful Greek island dreaming of sun-drenched beaches and blood-orange sunsets, ready to lose ourselves in the wild freedom of a weekend away with friends.
On the first night we swam under a blanket of stars. On the second night the games began on our clifftop terrace. On the third night the idyll cracked, secrets and lies whispering on the breeze.
And by the final night there was a body on the rocks below . . .
In Paris
A window on the world's most stylish city, with profiles of 20 diverse and inspiring Parisian women accompanied by gorgeous full-colour photographs by model and fashion designer Jeanne Damas, and Lauren Bastide, former editor-in-chief of French Elle.
"We've always been crazy in love with this city. . . We love its arrogance, its clumsiness, its simplicity. And especially the women who live here."
In Paris dispels the myth that there is only one type of Parisian woman, and offers a rare glimpse of the city that real Parisiennes live in - taking us into their homes, their careers, their style - and what being Parisian means to them.
Profiles of twenty real-life women of Paris - artists, activists, booksellers, and filmmakers, aged fourteen to seventy, living in tiny attic studios, grand apartments, or houseboats - are accompanied by more than 100 full-colour photographs by Jeanne herself as well as tips on secret Parisian hideaways and the French art de vivre: from the five types of red wine to order depending on the occasion, and the bars to drink them in, to the best red lipsticks, and places to be kissed.
Witty, elegant, and modern, In Paris reveals the secret to living like a Parisian, wherever and whoever you are.

Alice Isn't Dead
From the creator of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes a story about loving, about searching - and about the courage you need when you find the unexpected.
For fans of Stephen King, Serial, Twin Peaks and of course the eponymous number one iTunes podcast itself.
Keisha Lewis mourned the loss of her wife, Alice, who disappeared two years ago. There was a search, there was grief beyond what she thought was possible. There was a funeral.
But then Keisha began to see her wife, again and again, in the background of news reports from all over America.
Alice isn't dead. And she is showing up at the scene of every tragedy in the country.
Keisha shrugs off her old life and hits the road as a trucker - hoping on some level that travelling the length of the country will lead her to the person she loves.
What she finds are buried crimes and monsters (both human and unimaginable), government conspiracies, haunted service stations and a darkness far older than the highway system it lies beneath.
Inspired by the eponymous podcast, Alice Isn't Dead is a story about loving, about searching - and about the courage you need when what you find is terrifyingly unexpected.
Cast in the fluorescent lights of midnight diner-signs, this story is as big as the open road and as intimate as the darkness of a trucker's cab: perfect for fans of Stephen King, Serial, Twin Peaks and American Gods.

Books do Furnish a Life
'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times
'It may be a collection of shorter parts, but the book is in no sense Dawkins made simple. It amounts to a substantive whole which offers a unitary panoramic view across his entire intellectual life.' Spectator
Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science communicator.
Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time, it brings together Richard Dawkins' forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work.
Plenty of other scientists write well, but no one writes like Dawkins... here is Dawkins the teacher, the scholar, the polemicist, the joker, the aesthete, the poet, the satirist, the man of compassion as well as indignation, the slayer of superstition and, above all, the scientist. - Areo Magazine

Hranice v chodení
Ďalšia zo série kníh o hraniciach.
Chodenie je nádherné obdobie v živote dvoch ľudí. Táto kniha sa prakticky venuje mnohým otázkam, ktoré sa môžu objaviť aj pri vašom spoločnom spoznávaní sa.
Nájsť spoľahlivého a oddaného celoživotného partnera je skutočne ťažké – najmä preto, lebo ľudia spolu chodia spôsobom, ktorý im nepomáha v rozhodovaní sa k záväzku či k odchodu zo vzťahu. Veľmi často potom zažijú bolesť a utŕžia mnohé zranenia. Čas chodenia však tiež môže priniesť do života dospievajúceho človeka veľa dobrých vecí – okrem iného mu môže pomôcť pri jeho osobnom vývoji a dozrievaní.
Cieľom tejto knihy je pomôcť vám odhaliť tajomstvo úspešného chodenia a vyhnúť sa tak možným nástrahám vo vzťahoch.
Dr. Henry Cloud a Dr. John Townsend sú klinickí psychológovia, konzultanti, prednášatelia a autori mnohých populárnych kníh. Okrem spolupráce v psychologickom centre na klinike Minirth-Meier v Newport Beach v Kalifornii založili spolu poradenské centrum Cloud-Townsend Clinic and Resources. V slovenčine im vyšli knihy Hranice, Hranice v manželstve, Hranice a deti.
