Perfect for fans of Jennifer Saint, Elodie Harper and Natalie Haynes, author of Daughters of Sparta Claire Heywood returns with an imaginative reinterpretation of the myth of the great hero Perseus, bringing to life the voices of three women who are side-lined in the traditional version, and whose stories reveal a man who might not, in fact, be a hero at all.
His mother
Banished from her homeland thanks to a prophecy foretelling that her unborn child will one day cause the death of her father, Danae finds herself stranded, pregnant, and alone. Forging a new life for herself and for her young son Perseus will be the hardest thing she's ever done.
His trophy
As a member of a reclusive band of women who live deep in the woods, known as the Gorgons, Medusa has eschewed all contact with the outside world. That is, until the day she finds an injured boy named Perseus in the forest.
His wife
When a harsh sandstorm threatens to destroy her nomadic desert tribe's way of life, Andromeda knows that a sacrifice will be required to appease the gods and end the storm. But when a forceful young Perseus interferes, Andromeda's life is set on an entirely new path.
As Perseus becomes increasingly obsessed with the promise of his own destiny, his heroic journey casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives. But even as he tries to silence them, the women may find that reclaiming their voices is their only hope for lifting themselves into a better future.

Games of Life
Kniha se zabývá současnou reprodukční medicínou v České republice. Vychází přitom z analýzy instituce biomedicíny jako konkrétního projevu normalizace moderní společnosti v rámci současného přístupu ke zdraví a nemoci. Zaměřuje se na tři specifické oblasti reprodukční medicíny: porody, asistovanou reprodukci a manipulaci s DNA a embryi. Autorky chtějí zaplnit mezeru v kritické reflexi těchto témat v českém kontextu a otevřít o nich debatu. Zaměřují se na témata každodenní praxe reprodukční medicíny a snaží se odpovídat i na obecnější otázky: Jak jsou udržovány hranice mezi normalitou/legitimitou a abnormalitou/nelegitimitou v rámci tří konkrétních polí reprodukční medicíny?
Jakým způsobem je ustavována důvěra v systém moderní reprodukční medicíny? A jak do tohoto procesu vstupují kategorie genderu, statusu, etnicity?

The kocsma
Egy falu kiissza magát a szegénységből.
Ennyi tudható a szerzőről:
Régen - amikor még egy svábhegyi villában lakott, és kétszer is felterjesztették a Kossuth-díjra - valószínűtlenül jóképű volt. Viszont, nem hibátlan jellem: nem tud ellenállni a Szépségnek (a feszes, körte alakú melleknek). Gyakran nősül.
Szakmájában fiatalon nevet szerzett: egyetemen tanított, rendszeresen publikál. Néhány szót - a szerinte szent főneveket - csak nagy kezdőbetűvel ír le. Egyszer azt nyilatkozta, ha majd megértik ezek igazi jelentését, megtudják sikere titkát.
Bukása után egy isten háta mögötti faluba költözött. Tengődik, csak árnyéka egykori önmagának. Egy jónak mondható tulajdonsága maradt - a többit kilúgozta belőle a Pálinka - részegen nem hazudik.

Lacná kniha The Diary of a Nobody (-70%)
Why should I not publish my diary? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody' - why my diary should not be interesting.' The Diary of a Nobody (1892) created a cultural icon, an English archetype. Anxious, accident-prone, occasionally waspish, Charles Pooter has come to be seen as the epitome of English suburban life. His diary chronicles encounters with difficult tradesmen, the delights of home improvements, small parties, minor embarrassments, and problems with his troublesome son. The suburban world he inhabits is hilariously and painfully familiar in its small-mindedness and its essential decency. Both celebration and critique, The Diary of a Nobody has often been imitated, but never bettered. This edition features Weedon Grossmith's hilarious illustrations and is complemented by an enjoyable introduction discussing the book's social background and suburban fiction as a genre.

The Age of Cats
The past, present and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet, from a leading evolutionary biologist and great cat lover.
Jonathan B. Losos unravels the secrets of the cat using all the tools of modern technology, from GPS tracking (you’ll be amazed where they roam) and genomics (what is your so-called Siamese cat, really?) to forensic archaeology. He tells the story of the cat’s domestication (if you can call it that) and gives us a cat's-eye view of the world today. Along the way we also meet their wild cousins, whose behaviours are eerily similar to even the sweetest of house cats.
Drawing on his own research and life in his multi-cat household, Losos deciphers complex science and history and explores how selection, both natural and artificial, over the millennia has shaped the contemporary cat.
Yet the cat, ever a predator, still seems to have only one paw out of the wild, and readily reverts to its feral ways as it occupies new habitats around the world. Looking ahead, this charming and intelligent book suggests what the future may hold for the special bond between Felis catus and Homo sapiens.
