Lacná kniha Letopisy kralovske komory (-90%)
Dva příběhy písaře královské komory Jiřího Adama z Dobronína se odehrávají v polovině 16. století. Poslední cantilena zavádí královského písaře mezi bratrstvo chrámových zpěváků. Podivná smrt jednoho z nich by královskou komoru zřejmě vůbec nezajímala, pokud by se současně neztratil starodávný kancionál. Jen zasvěcení ale vědí, proč je ta kniha tak cenná. V Tajemství Tudorovců odjíždí Jiří Adam z Dobronína jako vyslanec ke dvoru anglické královny Marie a spolu s ním i známá z teplických lázní Kateřina Dolanská, která se vyzná v diplomacii mnohem lépe než on. Jenže záhy se ukáže, že její úkol je úplně jiný. Snaha odhalit dávnou vraždu je zavede nejen do cel ponurého Toweru, ale i do ruin zničeného opatství nedaleko Canterbury...

PRIESTOR 3
PRIESTOR #3 je ukončením mini-edície publikácii určených pre najmladšiu generáciu, ktorých cieľom je odľahčeným spôsobom poukázať na uvažovanie o architektúre ako o disciplíne, ktorá sa zaoberá tvorbou priestoru, ktorý nás obklopuje. Približujeme v nej príbehy osobností, ktoré určovali jej smerovanie. Ich spletité osudy sú plné nápadov a vízií, ale aj prekážok, ktoré im stáli v ceste. Tretie číslo je venované architektúre, ktorá radikálne zmenila obraz Slovenska v druhej polovici 20. storočia.
Máte v rukách Priestor. Ale čo to ten „priestor“ vlastne je? Dobrá otázka. Dalo by sa povedať, že práve na ňu hľadá odpoveď architektúra odjakživa, a jej tvorcovia prichádzajú stále s novými riešeniami, ako priestor vytvárať, napĺňať, kultivovať.
Máte v rukách Priestor. Ako s ním naložíte je len na Vás. Pokojne ho dotvárajte, škrtajte, zaujmite k nemu postoj a prejavte názor. A šírte ho ďalej, nech architektúra žije.
Autorkou grafík a textovej časti je architektka Ivana Čobejová a za grafickým dizajnom stojí grafická dizajnérka Ľubica Segečová a Zuzana Didová.
SPACE #3 is the end of a mini-edition of publications intended for the youngest generation, the aim of which is to highlight, in a light-hearted way, thinking about architecture as a discipline that deals with the creation of the space that surrounds us. In it, we present the stories of personalities who determined its direction. Their intricate destinies are full of ideas and visions, but also obstacles that stood in their way. The third issue is dedicated to architecture, which radically changed the image of Slovakia in the second half of the 20th century.
You have Space in your hands. But what exactly is this "space"? Good question. It could be said that architecture has always been looking for an answer to this, and its creators are always coming up with new solutions to create, fill, and cultivate space.
You have Space in your hands. How you deal with it is up to you. Feel free to complete it. Cross it out, take a position on it and express an opinion. And spread it further. Let architecture live.
The author of the illustrations and the text part is the architect Ivana Čobejová and the graphic designers are Ľubica Segečová and Zuzana Didová.

Zero Fail
The first definitive account of the rise and fall of the Secret Service, from the Kennedy assassination to the alarming mismanagement of the Obama and Trump years, right up to the insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January 2021 — by the Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of A Very Stable Genius
Carol Leonnig has been reporting on the Secret Service for The Washington Post for most of the last decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency today — from a toxic work culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency’s once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws. But the Secret Service wasn’t always so troubled.
The Secret Service was born in 1865, in the wake of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but its story begins in earnest in 1963, with the death of John F. Kennedy. Shocked into reform by its failure to protect the president on that fateful day in Dallas, this once-sleepy agency was radically transformed into an elite, highly trained unit that would redeem itself several times, most famously in 1981 by thwarting an assassination attempt against Ronald Reagan. But this reputation for courage and excellence would not last forever. By Barack Obama’s presidency, the once-proud Secret Service was running on fumes and beset by mistakes and alarming lapses in judgement: break-ins at the White House, an armed gunman firing into the windows of the residence while confused agents stood by, and a massive prostitution scandal among agents in Cartagena, to name just a few. With Donald Trump’s arrival, a series of promised reforms were cast aside, as a president disdainful of public service instead abused the Secret Service to rack up political and personal gains.
To explore these problems in the ranks, Leonnig interviewed dozens of current and former agents, government officials, and whistleblowers who put their jobs on the line to speak out about a hobbled agency that’s in desperate need of reform. ‘I will be forever grateful to them for risking their careers,’ she writes, ‘not because they wanted to share tantalising gossip about presidents and their families, but because they know that the Service is broken and needs fixing. By telling their story, they hope to revive the Service they love.’
Pani plukovníková
Môže láska prežiť tajomstvá pochované hlboko v utrápenom srdci?
Roxanna Rowanová, nežná Virgínčanka, je odhodlaná vzdorovať divočine amerického pohraničia a dostať sa do vzdialenej pevnosti v Kentucky. Túži znovu sa stretnúť so svojím otcom, ktorý slúži pod plukovníkom Cassiusom McLinnom, a keď zistí, že jej otca zabili na vojenskej výprave, celkom ju to zničí.
Bez peňazí a iných možností je nútená zostať v pevnosti. Zatiaľ čo trávi čoraz viac času s prudkým plukovníkom McLinnom, pevnosť doslova bzučí intrigami a narážkami. Podarí sa Roxanne zistiť, kto plukovník v skutočnosti je a čo urobil?
Ponorte sa do tohto pôsobivého príbehu o láske, viere a odpustení, odohrávajúceho sa v búrlivom americkom pohraničí v roku 1779.
Ohlasy:
Svieži a poetický príbeh... prenesie vás na iné miesto a do iného obdobia.-- Jane Kirkpatrick, autorka bestsellerov All Together in One Place a A Flickering Light
Laura Frantzová živo a podrobne opisuje krásu života v divom pohraničí, ako aj nebezpečenstvá a problémy, ktoré sú s ním spojené.-- Ann H. Gabhartová, autorka kníh The Outsider and The Seeker
Frantzovej písanie sa vyznačuje vnútornou krásou, ktorá vylepšuje každý literárny aspekt jej príbehu od vynikajúceho rozprávačského štýlu a dôkladne prepracovaných postáv po puntičkársky opis historických podrobností a prekvapujúce emocionálne spojenia. [Jej písanie] môže slúžiť ako inšpirácia pre ďalších autorov kresťanských historických románov.--RelzReviews
Týmto románom sa Laure Frantzovej podaril vskutku husársky kúsok. Strhujúci príbeh, dynamické postavy a dokonalá historická presnosť prenesú čitateľa do celkom iného obdobia a na celkom iné miesto a pri jeho čítaní presedia celé hodiny na okraji stoličky... Aj keď román má vyše štyristo strán, čitateľ bude po jeho prečítaní túžiť po ďalších slušný úspech u každého autora.
~Libraries Alive
Publisher's Weekly:
Frantzovej (Plukovníkova dcéra) sa darí šikovne splietať a rozpletať zápletku a hlavné postavy príbehu Roxie a Cass pôsobia veľmi presvedčivo. Posolstvo románu je kresťanské a vykupiteľské, ale nie je príliš zaťažený pietou a ľúbostný príbeh je dosť zmyselný, pravdaže, v medziach kresťanskej beletrie. Frantzová si poctivo urobila aj domácu úlohu z dejepisu: vytvára prostredie, ktoré ukazuje, že ľuďom sa vždy nežilo ľahko... veľmi uspokojivé a prekvapivo subtílne čítanie.

Eros
Predstavte si, že by láska nebola to, čo vám hovorili...,
Predstavte si, že by ste mali,v končekoch prstov tú najčistejšiu, a najnevyčerpateľnejšiu tvorivú energiu...
Všetci si myslíme, že vieme, čo je láska. Poznáme ju z piesní, romantických komédií a príbehov, ktoré nám od detstva rozprávajú. Lásku si spájame so zúfalou túžbou, rozchodmi a nevraživosťou. Sme ochotní milovať, ale s podmienkami. Otvoriť svoje srdcia súhlasíme len dovtedy, kým si vieme zachovať nejaký pocit kontroly. Ako môžeme prekročiť predstavu lásky, ktorá nám bola vštepovaná? Ako môžeme prekonať celoživotné návyky a objaviť čistú, bezvýhradnú lásku? Don Miguel Ruiz a Barbara Emrysová nám ukazujú, že je možné milovať iných a seba oveľa autentickejšie a štedrejšie. Môžete prestať byť takí opatrní a zažiť radosť lásky bez očakávaní. Môžete prestať myslieť a odovzdať sa životu bez toho, aby ste sa dožadovali niečej pozornosti či riadili niečí život. Keď vašej existencii vládne čistá energia, sú v každom okamihu možné udivujúce transformácie.
Štyri dohody - audiokniha
V Štyroch dohodách odhaľuje Don Miguel Ruiz zdroj obmedzujúcich názorov, ktoré nás pripravujú o radosť zo života a vedú k zbytočnému utrpeniu. Štyri dohody, založené na starej toltéckej múdrosti, ponúkajú silný kód chovania, ktorý dokáže rýchle premeniť náš život na nové prežívanie slobody a skutočného šťastia a lásky.
