Killers of the Flower Moon
From the bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, and the Number One international bestseller The Wager, comes a true-life murder story which became one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe.
Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
Teachers on the Waves of Transformation
Transformující se společnost prochází změnami na mnoha úrovních. Těmi hlavními dvěma jsou změny ve strukturách a kultuře společnosti. Jak se však tyto velké změny promítají do životů jednotlivců a malých společenství? Kniha Učitelé na vlnách transformace se snaží přispět k porozumění těmto otázkám pomocí exploratorního výzkumu na dvou školách v menším městě ve středních Čechách. V obou školách sleduje autorka osudy dvou generací učitelů. Při rozhovorech s učiteli, vedením i rodiči se zaměřuje na oblast vztahů, hodnot, sdílených příběhů i symbolického a rituálního světa – tedy na kulturu školy.

The Three Musketeers (EN)
Audiokniha The Three Musketeers obsahuje nejznámější dílo, jehož autorem je Alexandre Dumas, mluvené v angličtině rodilým mluvčím. Slavný historický román o touze po dobrodružství, cti a síle přátelství. Děj je zasazen do 17. století období obléhání francouzského La Rochelle. Mladý D´Artagnan je sice chudý mladík, ale ze všeho nejvíc touží stát se váženým mušketýrem. Svou ztřeštěností si však spíše cestu mezi mušketýry zavírá, když se nepohodne hned s třemi nejlepšími - Athosem, Porthosem a Aramisem. Tito se však brzy v rámci souboje dostanou na jednu stranu a svorně od té chvíle razí heslo: Jeden za všechny, všichni za jednoho. Díky této zásadě pak čtveřice neohrožených mušketýrů rozplétá intriky kardinála Richelieu, který chce za každou cenu sesadit z trůnu královnu Annu.

The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot
Life is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, it's not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with. Dodging doctor's orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eight-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realize that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years. To celebrate their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories: of growing old and staying young, of giving joy, of receiving kindness, of losing love, of finding the person who is everything. As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.
Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need them most.
'Emotional, involving, witty and sad. Everyone is going to love LENNI AND MARGOT' JILL MANSELL
'Lenni and Margot are two of the most wonderful, warm, witty and wise heroines I've ever met. Beautiful and glorious' CLARE POOLEY, author of The Authtenticity Project
'Such a delight! I fell head over heels for Lenni and Margot, their wit and vibrancy and marvellous outlooks on life. An utter joy' ABBIE GREAVES

Strangers in the Night - Ava Gardner és Frank Sinatra viharos szerelme
Az egyikük kisvárosi szépségből lett hollywoodi szerelemistennő. A másikuk legendás énekes, akinek hangja megbabonázta az egész világot. Ava Gardner és Frank Sinatra külön-külön ellenállhatatlan személyiségek, együtt viszont robbanékony párost alkotnak.
A 20. század közepén Ava csillaga egyre fényesebben ragyog, Frank karrierje azonban hanyatlik – az ellentét féltékenykedést szül közöttük, a vágyakozás dühbe csap át, és a boldogságuk lépten-nyomon veszélybe kerül. Miközben a szerelmespár a siker és a kudarc, a szenvedély és a harag hullámvasútján utazik, azon tűnődnek, vajon melyik fordulat okozza a karrierjük, valamint az egymással megosztott élet végét.
A magával ragadó, kontinenseken és évtizedeken átívelő Strangers in the Night a huszadik század legizgalmasabb szerelmi történetét eleveníti meg.

The Orchid and the Dandelion
'A necessary and important book.' Philippa Perry, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read
`The Orchid and the Dandelion is based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children - and the adults who love them.' - Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet
Why do some people succeed and others struggle? Why are some people's lives filled with satisfaction and happiness and others with frustration and despair? Why do some people die young, while others live into healthy old age? Is it simply chance and luck, or are there early patterns of development revealing potentially determinative pathways into bounty or calamity?
In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr W. Thomas Boyce - one of the world's foremost researchers in the field of paediatric health - presents findings that children have two very different responses to their environments. While some children are like dandelions and can thrive in almost any environment, there are others who, like orchids, are much more reactive and susceptible to their surroundings. Now we finally have a scientific framework to understand people and how to address their unique needs to help them find their fullest potential.
This groundbreaking book draws on extensive research, examples and real stories that will re-frame how we think about orchid and dandelion children and the adults those children have become.

Lacná kniha The Autumn of the Ace (-90%)
Louis de Bernieres is the master of historical fiction which makes you both laugh and cry. This book follows an unforgettable family after the Second World War.
Daniel Pitt was an RAF fighter in the First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second. Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home.
Daniel's marriage has fractured beyond repair and Daniel's relationship with his son, Bertie, has been a failure since Bertie was a small boy.
But after his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and friends back in England. But some bonds are hard to break.
Daniel and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating, also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect. If only they can find a way to move on from the past.
Louis de Bernieres' new novel is a moving account of an extraordinary life in extraordinary times. Daniel is a flawed but captivating hero, and this coming-of-old-age story illuminates both the effect of two World Wars on a generation and the irrepressible spirit and love that can connect people despite great obstacles.

Tess Of The D'Urbervilles (Wadsworth Collection)
Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.

Vaják II. - The Witcher - A végzet kardja
Az utolsó kívánság nagy sikerű folytatásában Geralt további novellákban küzd szörnyekkel, démonokkal és emberi gonoszsággal…
Geralt a vajákok közé tartozik: mágikus képességeinek köszönhetően, amelyeket hosszan tartó kiképzése és egy rejtélyes elixír csak még tovább csiszolt, zseniális és könyörtelen harcos hírében áll. Ugyanakkor nem hétköznapi gyilkos: célpontjai vérszomjas szörnyetegek és aljas fenevadak, amelyek mindenütt hatalmas pusztítást végeznek, és megtámadják az ártatlanokat. A birodalmat járva azonban fokozatosan ráébred, hogy bár prédái egy része kétségtelenül elvetemült szörnyeteg, mások azonban bűn, ármány vagy egyszerű ostobaság áldozatai.
Andrzej Sapkowski 1948-ban született Lengyelországban. Hazája egyik leghíresebb és legsikeresebb szerzőjének számít. A World Fantasy Életműdíjjal kitüntetett szerző Vaják-sorozatával nemzetközi sikert aratott, könyvei alapján képregények és számítógépes játékok is készültek, 2019-ben pedig a Netflix forgatott belőlük sorozatot Henry Cavill főszereplésével.
