Colditz: The Full Story
In "Colditz: The Full Story", Major Pat Reid brings together the many dramatic discoveries resulting from research that has covered the five continents. From all walks of life, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French, German and Polish prisoners - as well as those from the British Commonwealth and USA - were incarcerated in suffocating intimacy for five years in an alien and hostile land. Under these conditions, they proved that men could live together and that loyalty and generosity could thrive, transcending the natural prejudices of race, creed, language and intellectual diversity. There were more than 300 escape attempts at Colditz and in this fascinating portrayal, Reid vividly describes this unique period in Second World War history. Furthermore, he reveals the code systems between the War Office and Colditz; shows how he obtained information on Germany's secret weapons; and, investigates the existence of traitors and the situation of non-collaborators in the castle. This is a true story, which nonetheless possesses the mythical qualities that cause a legend to live forever.

Down and Out in Paris and London
George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time living among the desperately poor and destitute, Down and Out in Paris and London is a moving tour of the underworld of society.'You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.' Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hotel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time - and in doing so, found his voice as a writer.

Star Wars - Republic Commando - Hard Contact
As the Clone Wars rage, victory or defeat lies in the hands of elite squads that take on the toughest assignments in the galaxy-stone-cold soldiers who go where no one else would, to do what no one else could. . . . On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup-and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don't improve when Darman, the squad's demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman's apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience. For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery . . . and death. It's a virtual suicide mission for anyone-anyone except Republic Commandos.

Alphonse Mucha
Alphonse Mucha is known largely for having originated Art Nouveau, when his poster of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became a legendary icon of the movement. Mucha went on to design hundreds of pieces in the decorative arts field, but later distanced himself from the style he pioneered, devoting his time and energy to painting. This book presents the full array of Mucha's artistic contributions - not only his posters and jewellery designs but also his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 world's fair. The book also contains his works on canvas, which include pastels and frescoes and his magnum opus, The Slavic Epic, a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people. A stunning selection of 700 colour illustrations is accompanied with essays that explore Mucha's style and inspirations, his transition away from the decorative arts and his forays into photography. Fans of Art Nouveau will treasure this dazzling and unique study of the artist and his contributions to design and illustration.

Ravens Shadow
Three moons are rising. They are rising over the snowy Archen Mountains, where Teia struggles through the high passes to carry her warning to the Empire: the Nimrothi war band is poised to invade and at their head stands Ytha. She means to release the Wild Hunt - and with it Maegern the Raven, the Keeper of the Dead. In the desert of Gimrael, the moons are rising over the fires of revolution - flames that have already robbed Gair of a friend and left him alone in a hostile city, unsure even if the Song is still his to command. He has one last duty to discharge, and then nothing will stand between him and his ultimate goal: vengeance. And in the Nordmen's chilly halls, Savin plays out a game in which kings and chieftains and men are but pawns on a chessboard that spans the Veil itself. Three moons are rising. When the trinity is complete, the endgame will begin. You can learn more at www.elspethcooper.com or by following @ElspethCooper on twitter.

The Narcissist You Know
In the tradition of The Sociopath Next Door, clinical psychologist Joseph Burgo s The Narcissist You Know is a clear, easily digestible (Kirkus Reviews) guide to help you identify, disarm, and coexist with extreme narcissists.
In today s social media and selfie-obsessed culture, we are living in an age of narcissism and a society that often celebrates this potentially harmful trait rather than understanding it as a psychological disorder. Scientists are beginning to learn that narcissism exists on a spectrum much like autism and most of us exhibit some mild narcissistic tendencies. But one in twenty people fall into a category the author refers to as Extreme Narcissism, in which these self-absorbed characteristics result in destructive behavior that harms not only the individual but everyone around them, including friends, family, and coworkers.
With more than thirty years of experience studying personality disorders and treating extreme narcissists, Dr. Joseph Burgo has developed a useful guidebook to help you spot narcissists out there in the wild (Glamour) and then understand and manage the narcissistic personalities in your own life. Relying on detailed profiles, vignettes from the author s practice, and celebrity biographies, The Narcissist You Know offers easy-to-understand tools and solutions you can use to defuse hostile situations and survive assaults on your self-esteem should you ever find yourself in an extreme narcissist s orbit."

Emlékek és rejtélyek
A második világháború végeztével igen sokan elmenekültek Magyarországról. Nekünk a legszűkebb családi körön kívül mindenkivel megszakadt a kapcsolatunk. Amikor elkezdtem gyűjteni a világ minden tájára szétszóródott, rég eltűnt rokonok címeit, rádöbbentem: az én nemzedékemből már nem sokan maradtunk olyanok, akik még visszaemlékezhetnek a régi időkre. Korábban is a család legidősebb tagjai mesélték el emlékeiket a következő nemzedékeknek. Amit én hallottam a nagyszüleimtől, az jobbára még a 19. században történt. Egy mozgalmas korszakba szeretnék bepillantást engedni olvasóimnak részint személyes, részint családi, részint történelmi eseményeken keresztül. A Békés megyei Póstelken születtem 1926-ban, és a keresztségben a Károlyi Krisztina Mária Franciska Ilona Zsófia nevet kaptam. Grófkisasszony voltam, gyerekkoromban Dittának becéztek, mivel az öcsém nem tudta kimondani az első keresztnevem becenevét, a Krisztát. Mióta 1948-ban Angliába érkeztem, utolsó keresztnevem angol változatát, a Sophie-t használom - kezdi a ,,családtörténetet" a szerző, aztán keresztül-kasul vágtat a történelmen, és megrajzolja a teljes Károlyi famíliát a kora középkortól a jelenig, vagyis előtérbe kerülnek az élő Károlyi leszármazottak krónikái is. A pazar képanyaggal összeállított album mondhatni teljes repertoár, az események és legendák, a várak és kastélyok, a bálok és politikai szerepek bemutatása okán amolyan kis magyar történelmet olvashatunk e lenyűgöző kiadványban, melynek fókuszában fejezetenként a család legérdekesebb történetei állnak: így a kötet bárhol fellapozható, tetszőlegesen olvasható.
A különleges kiadvány egyedi és hiánypótló reprezentatív munka, melyben mintegy félezer színes és fekete-fehér kép kalauzol végig az évszázadokon és ismeretlen történeteken, főispánok, hadvezérek, mecénások, miniszterek, valamint miniszterelnök és köztársasági elnök titkain keresztül.
Kim
'He knew the wonderful walled city of Lahore from the Delhi Gate to the outer Fort Ditch; was hand in glove with men who led lives stranger than anything Haroun al Raschid dreamed of; and he lived in a life wild as that of the Arabian Nights...' Kipling's epic rendition of the imperial experience in India is also his greatest long work. Two men - Kim, a boy growing into early manhood, and the lama, an old ascetic priest - are fired by a quest. Kim is white, although born in India. While he wants to play the Great Game of imperialism, he is also spiritually bound to the lama and he tries to reconcile these opposing strands. A celebration of their friendship in an often hostile environment, Kim captures the opulence of India's exotic landscape, overlaid by the uneasy presence of the British Raj. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Day of Creation
An unforgettable voyage of the imagination from the bestselling author of Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes. In parched Port-la-Nouvelle in central Africa, Dr Mallory watches his clinic fail as constant warfare between a ragged band of guerrillas and the local chief of police causes the tribal residents to flee. In this drought-plagued and poverty-ridden country he dreams of discovering a third Nile tributary to make the Sahara bloom. During his search for water an ancient tree stump is accidentally uprooted and water wells up, spreading until it becomes an enormous river. Naming the river after himself, Mallory becomes obsessed with his creation. But almost as soon as he has discovered it he resolves to destroy it. With the once arid land now abounding in birds and beasts, he forges up-river in an old car ferry, clashing with hostile factions in a dangerous quest to find the source of his own creation. A mesmerising tale from a master storyteller, this is a spellbinding fable for our times.

Rozsáhlá obrazová monografie Adolfa Hoffmeistra doprovází stejnojmennou výstavu pořádanou Galerií hlavního města Prahy ve spolupráci se společností Gallery (Dům U kamenného zvonu a II. patro Staroměstské radnice v Praze,19. listopad 2004 – 20. únor 2005). Život Adolfa Hoffmeistra (1902 – 1973) je úzce spjatý s osudy českého moderního umění v historických souvislostech předválečného i poválečného Československa: tento mnohostranně talentovaný příslušník meziválečné avantgardy, jeden ze zakladatelů Devětsilu a spolupracovník Osvobozeného divadla Voskovce a Wericha, byl spisovatelem, malířem, karikaturistou, kreslířem, kolážistou, ilustrátorem, autorem knižních obálek, publicistou i dramatikem působil rovněž jako právník a diplomat, stal se profesorem a posléze též rektorem Vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové v Praze a organizačně uváděl v život řadu významných kulturních akcí doma i v zahraničí. Neutěšené politické poměry ve vlasti ho na sklonku života přinutily stáhnout se do nedobrovolného ústraní. Na čtyřsetstránkové publikaci s četnými reprodukcemi a dokumentárními fotografiemi, kterou graficky upravila Světla Kořánová, pracoval autorský kolektiv (Polana Bregantová, Lenka Bydžovská, Josef Vojvodík a Tomáš Winter) pod vedením hlavního editora Karla Srpa.

Chardin
Widely acknowledged in his time as a premier painter of still life and genre scenes, Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) created unsentimentalized works that appeal to viewers today for their richness of feeling and simplicity of composition. This sumptuously illustrated book reproduces in full color 99 of Chardin's works and arranges them around five themes: Chardin's Beginnings and His First Still Lifes, Utensils and Household Objects, Genre Scenes, Chardin's Return to Still Life, and Pastels. The contributors to the volume explore Chardin's work from many different angles, including the latest thinking on such lesser-known facets of his life and work as his use of ceramics and glass, his financial and property affairs, and the complex history of engravings of his paintings. Each of the five sections of the book has an introduction and a selection of Chardin's paintings accompanied on facing pages by complete provenance, exhibition, and bibliographic information. The book also offers an extensive Chardin biography, an index of names and places, and an index of works.
