Voices of History: Speeches that Changed the World
VOICES OF HISTORY celebrates the great speeches of world history and cultural life. In this exuberant collection, acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore takes us on a journey from ancient times to the twenty-first century: some speeches are heroic and inspiring; some diabolical and atrocious; some are exquisite and poignant; others cruel and chilling. The speakers themselves vary from empresses and conquerors to novelists, sportsmen, dreamers and killers, from Churchill and Elizabeth I to Stalin and Genghis Khan, and from Michelle Obama and Cleopatra to Nehru and Muhammad Ali.
All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table-talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells, VOICES OF HISTORY spans centuries, continents and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading, and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present and inspire - and hold warnings for - our future.

Life of the Party
In this multi-faceted collection of odes, anecdotes, sonnets and prose, Olivia Gatwood weaves together the trials and triumphs of growing up and explores the many ways that fear and violence can be internalized in a woman's psyche. At times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant, Life of the Party is about what it means to be a girl and a woman in today's world and the challenge of briefly being both.
In powerful, piercingly candid language, Gatwood asks: How does one grow from a girl to a woman in a world wracked by violence? What happens to our bodies that make us who we are? Is this fear really irrational?
A dazzling collection of raw and explosive poems from a thrilling new feminist voice.
Lacná kniha Body (-50%)
The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the `post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives.
Surveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific and vernacular photography - including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo and Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The Photography Book explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body. Supporting the broad range of photography is a foreword by a cultural critic, and an essay by the acclaimed psychologist Professor David Sander, PhD., discussing the neurological representation of our own bodies.

Confessions of a Bookseller
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Irreverently funny ... kept me giggling all week.' Scotland on Sunday
"Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?"
Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms.
Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices.
The Diary of a Bookseller (soon to be a major TV series) introduced us to the joys and frustrations of life lived in books. Sardonic and sympathetic in equal measure, Confessions of a Bookseller will reunite readers with the characters they've come to know and love.

Work : A History of How We Spend Our Time
A revolutionary new history of humankind through the prism of work, from the origins of life on Earth to our ever-more automated present
'A fascinating exploration that challenges our basic assumptions of what work means'
Yuval Noah Harari
'One of those few books that will turn your customary ways of thinking upside down'
Susan Cain
The work we do brings us meaning, moulds our values, determines our social status and dictates how we spend most of our time. But this wasn't always the case: for 95% of our species' history, work held a radically different importance.
How, then, did work become the central organisational principle of our societies? How did it transform our bodies, our environments, our views on equality and our sense of time? And why, in a time of material abundance, are we working more than ever before?

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist
The comics legend's first new book since his 2015 bestseller Killing and Dying.
'Adrian Tomine has more ideas in twenty panels than novelists have in a lifetime.' Zadie Smith
Through a series of exquisitely observed autobiographical sketches, Adrian Tomine explores his life - from an early moment on the playground being bullied, to a more recent experience, lying on a gurney in the hospital, and having the nurse say 'Hey! You're that cartoonist!'
Self-deprecating, honest, and above all else, humorous, Tomine mines his conflicted relationship with comics and writing, and people at large, and once again animates the absurdities of modern life and how we choose to live it.

In the Closet of the Vatican
The New York Times Bestseller--Revised and Expanded
"[An] earth-shaking expose of clerical corruption"--National Catholic Reporter
The arrival of Frederic Martel's In the Closet of the Vatican, published worldwide in eight languages, sent shockwaves through the religious and secular world. The book's revelations of clericalism, hypocrisy, cover-ups and widespread homosexuality in the highest echelons of the Vatican provoked questions that the most senior Vatican officials--and the Pope himself--were forced to act upon; it would go on to become a New York Times bestseller. Now, almost a year after the book's first publication, Frederic Martel reflects in a new foreword on the effect the book has had and the events that have come to light since it was first released.
In the Closet of the Vatican describes the double lives of priests--including the cardinals living with their young "assistants" in luxurious apartments whilst professing humility and chastity--the cover-up of numerous cases of sexual abuse; sinister scheming in the Vatican; political conspiracy overseas in Argentina and Chile, and the resignation of Benedict XVI. From his unique position as a respected journalist with uninhibited access to some of the Vatican's most influential people and private spaces, Martel presents a shattering account of a system rotten to its very core.

World of Warcraft: Arthas - A Lich király felemelkedése
Egy misztikus erőkkel körülvett, tűhegyes szegélyekkel határolt, lebegő jégtömbben talált rá. A rúnák, amelyek a penge hosszán végigfutottak, hűvös kékben ragyogtak. Alatta egy emelvény terült el, egy nagy lankás dombon, amelyet hó borított. A jeges börtön a kard formájának néhány részletét elrejtette, míg másokat eltúlzott, egyszerre tárta fel és rejtette el magát, ezáltal még csábítóbbá válva. Arthas ismerte a pengét - pontosan ez volt az, amit álmában látott, mikor először megérkezett. Akkor jó ómennek gondolta, de már tudta, hogy az egy igazi jel volt. Ez a fegyver mindent megváltoztathat. Arthas elragadtatva bámulta, keze szinte sóvárgott azután, hogy megragadja és ujjai a markolat köré fonódjanak. Karjával érezni akarta, hogy milyen könnyedén lendülne a penge, amely megölhetné Mal'Ganist, véget vetne a kínnak, ami Lordaeron népét sújtja, véget vetne az emésztő bosszúvágynak. Közelebb lépett...
Gonoszsága legendás. Ő az élőholt Veszedelem ura, Fagyhalál rúnapenge forgatója, és Azeroth szabad népeinek ellensége. A Lich Király a mérhetetlen hatalom és a határtalan rosszindulat megtestesülése, jéghideg lelkét teljesen elemésztette azon terve, hogy elpusztítson minden életet a Warcraft világán.
Ám nem volt mindig ilyen. Mielőtt a lelke egyesült volna Ner'zhul, az ork sámán lelkével, a Lich Király még Arthas Menethil volt, Lordaeron koronahercege és az Ezüst Kéz rendjének hűséges paladinja. Amikor élőholtak serege fenyegette mindazt, amit szeretett, Arthas elindul balsorsú küldetésére, hogy megszerezze a rúnapengét, amely elég erős ahhoz, hogy megmenthesse vele szülőföldjét. Azonban a fegyver, amit keres, hatalmas árat követel új gazdájától, aki megkezdi rémísztő útját a kárhozat felé. Arthas átkel a hideg északi pusztaságokon, hogy a Fagyott Trónnál végül szembenézzen a legsötétebb végzettel...
