Stopárov sprievodca galaxiou (nové vydanie)
Arthurovi Dentovi, celkom obyčajnému človiečikovi kdesi z Anglicka, raz vo štvrtok ráno prídu zdemolovať dom, vraj kvôli stavbe diaľničného obchvatu. Snaží sa tomu zabrániť bojovným polihovaním pred buldozérom, no jeden z jeho priateľov, Ford Prefect, ho viac-menej nasilu odtiahne do krčmy na tri bleskurýchle pivá, pretože sa blíži koniec sveta. Asi o 12 minút neskôr koniec sveta skutočne nastane v podobe stavebnej čaty mimozemskej rasy Vogónov, ktorí prídu zdemolovať Zem kvôli stavbe hyperpriestorovej diaľnice. Tesne pred touto pre všetkých ostatných smrteľnou udalosťou sa Arthur s Fordom presunú na vogónsku stavebnú loď, ktorá ich odvezie do hlbín vesmíru. Ford totiž nepochádza z Guildfordu, ako na Zemi zvyčajne tvrdil, ale z malej planéty kdesi v okolí Betelgeuze, a pracuje ako terénny prieskumník pozoruhodnej knihy s názvom Stopárov sprievodca galaxiou – akéhosi elektronického bedekra pre vesmírnych stopárov obsahujúceho všetky informácie, ktoré potrebujete, ak túžite vidieť krásy vesmíru za menej ako tridsať altairských dolárov denne.

M.C. Escher
Twisted mind: The graphic pattern genius of M. C. EscherFrom impossible staircases to tesselated birds, Dutch artist M. C. Escher (1898 1972) crafted a unique graphic language of patterns, puzzles, and mathematics. Dense, complex, and structured by intricate principles, his work is at the same time decorative and playful, toying constantly with optic illusions and the limitations of sensory perception. For mathematicians and scientists, Escher is a mastermind. For hippies, he was the pioneer of psychedelic art.Born in Leeuwarden, in the Netherlands in 1898, Escher s early works focused on nature and landscapes, with regular exhibitions in Holland, and some international recognition. It was on a trip to the Alhambra Palace in Spain in the 1920s, however, that Escher found his niche. Sketching the patterns of the palace s Moorish architecture, Escher became captivated by the codependency of forms within and next to each other.Working mainly with lithographs and woodcuts, Escher went on to explore the relationships among shapes, figures, and space with a near-obsessive delight. He reveled in quirky vantage points, multiple perspectives, the transition from paper flatness to illusory volume, and intricate mathematical puzzles such as the Mobius strip, a seemingly infinite loop which twists and recoils on itself in a contortion of apparent physical impossibility.This introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 taps into Escher s brilliant mind with key works from his restless investigation of image and perception. Along the way, you ll find fish morphing into birds, lizards crawling off the page, masterful reflections, infinite mazes, and some of the most mind-bending images of 20th-century art.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"
Kisses for Jet
In 1999, when most people think that the world is about to end with the Y2K crash on the eve of the new Millennium, Jet is just trying to get through high school. When their Mom moves to another country to work on fixing the Millennium bug, Jet is forced to stay at a boarding house while they finish the school year, and they're not pleased about it.
But something's not quite right, and it's not just the out-of-control kids that Jet has to live with, or the staff who look after the boarding house who act super suspiciously. As Jet slowly starts to feel overwhelmed by their peers, they begin to notice that they don't feel like the other girls in their class. As new feelings start to emerge, Jet slowly begins to realise that they may be more of a boy than a girl.
Is that even possible? And who do they talk to about these feelings when there's not even any internet around, and cell phones are barely used?
This coming-of-gender graphic novel debut from trans creator Joris Bas Backer is an enlightening and often hilarious tale that casts light on what it was like to be transgender before information and help was more accessible and widespread. Translated and expanded on from the original German edition, this brand-new English edition features even more content for you to experience.

Lacná kniha Black Ladies (-70%)
Simple, sensual portraits of dark-skinned beauties "This is erotica with a subtle flavour, photography that has truly gone back to basics." -Amateur Photographer, London Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned works, as this book eloquently attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the stunning landscape of Africa. Calixthe Beyala, born in Cameroon, is one of the leading Francophile African poets. The texts in this book were written especially as a commentary on the photography of Uwe Ommer.

Longbourn
Služka Sára si na longbournském panství zvykla dřít do úmoru a oplátkou dostávat pramálo. Jenomže každodenní život služebnictva, jehož pravidla neurčují pouze něžné srdce a železná vůle hospodyně paní Hillové, ale především omezené příjmy rodiny Bennetovy, už záhy obrátí vzhůru nohama příchod nového komorníka Jamese Smithe, který s sebou přinese tajemství a vůni moře. V georgiánské Anglii existuje svět, který mladé dámy zvyklé na salony a taneční sály nikdy nepoznají: svět bídy, lásky a krvavých válek. Kniha Longbourn je holdem spisovatelce Jane Austenové, jejž ocení nejen ti, kdo si oblíbili hrdiny jejích duchaplných románů.
Jo Bakerová (1974) se narodila a vyrostla v hrabství Lancashire na severozápadě Anglie, studovala v Oxfordu a v Belfastu. Debutovala roku 2001 knihou Offcomer, následovaly tři další romány a řada povídek. V roce 2013 na sebe strhla celosvětovou pozornost prózou Longbourn, která vychází ve více než dvou desítkách zemí a má se stát předlohou filmu.
„Bakerová dokázala zdánlivě nemožné: zmocnila se světa Jane Austenové. Fantastické dílo.“ – Guardian

The Way of Nagomi
*Find out how to live a more harmonious life thanks to NAGOMI, the ancient Japanese philosophy that helps you find balance and peace in everything you do*
There is no translation for the word nagomi in the English language, and yet it at the very heart of the Japanese way of life. A popular and common concept in Japan, to achieve nagomi is to have peace of mind, emotional balance and wellbeing, ranging from the way food is prepared (mixing sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami) to the way the ephemerality of the cherry blossom season is celebrated.
Global bestselling author Ken Mogi illustrates why it's important to value both the positive and negative experiences in life so that you can truly find a balance and live more harmoniously. In The Way of Nagomi, Ken explains how to apply nagomi to every aspect of life so you can:
- Maintain happy relationships with loved ones, even if you disagree with them
- Learn new things while always staying true to yourself
- Find a sense of peace in whatever you are doing
- Mix and blend unlikely components to strike a harmonious balance
- Have a greater understanding of the Japanese philosophy of life
By delving into Japan's history, traditions and culture and providing a toolkit to help us to achieve satisfaction in our lives, Ken shows how we can all create nagomi in our lives and enjoy the benefits of a more peaceful and satisfactory life.

Artful
Artful presents, in book form, four lectures given by Ali Smith at Oxford University. Refusing to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted - literally - by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. Full of both the poignancy and humour of fiction and all the sideways insights and jaunty angles you would expect from Ali Smith's criticism, it explores form, style, life, love, death, mortality, immortality and what art and writing can mean. Part fiction, part essay, Artful is a revelation of what writing can do and a reaffirmation of Ali Smith's unmatched literary powers.

Kingston? Přece nalevo od Oxfordu
Ode dne, kdy se Češka Hana přestěhovala se svým anglickým manželem Williamem do malebné vísky Kingston ležící nedaleko Oxfordu, uplynulo již několik let, takže se nyní mohou oba městští přistěhovalci směle počítat téměř ke starousedlíkům. To ovšem ani v nejmenším neznamená, že jim příjemný životní stereotyp nenaruší co chvíli nějaká překvapivá či strhující událost. Hladina kingstonského dění je totiž poklidná jen zdánlivě a pod jejím povrchem to bez přestání vře. Převratné novinky mnohdy zaskočí nejen Hanu a Williama, ale i ostatní rázovité Kingstoňany, s nimiž se čtenáři setkali už v předchozích autorčiných knížkách.
