The English Patient
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The English Patient, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
A small cargo plane will come down to land, slipping from the level of the horizon. It tips its wings within desert light and then sound stops, it drifts to earth.
The final curtain is closing on the Second World War and in an abandoned Italian villa Hana, a nurse, tends to her sole remaining patient. Rescued from a burning plane, the anonymous Englishman is damaged beyond recognition and haunted by painful memories.
The only clue Hana has to unlocking his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire - a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes detailing a tragic love affair.

Kde je tá pravá lopta?
Medvedík by si zo všetkého najviac želal krásnu loptu. Kde by ju tak mohol nájsť? Asi to bude riadna fuška. Jedna guľatá vec je príliš veľká, druhá malá, ďalšia veľmi ťažká… So žiadnou sa nemôže hrať. Vie vôbec, ako taká pravá lopta vyzerá?
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins - Nott The Brave
When you become that which you fear most, how do you carry on?
Veth Brenatto doesn’t have an exciting life, but she likes it that way. Unlike her childhood, it’s safe. Predictable. And her husband and son love her almost as fiercely as she loves them. But Veth’s cozy existence is turned on its head when she and her family are captured by raiders. In order to save them, Veth will commit an atrocity that will sever her from all that she loves––maybe forever––and lead her to become Nott the Brave of the Mighty Nein.
Celebrated writer Sam Maggs (Captain Marvel, The Unstoppable Wasp) is joined by Critical Role cast members Matthew Mercer and Sam Riegel, with the expert art of William Kirkby (Rat Queens) and colors by Eren Angliolini (Justice League: Last Ride), with letters from Ariana Maher (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) for a heartbreaking look at a halfling’s end and a goblin’s beginning.

Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North
The final novel in the Harold Fry trilogy, this is a heart-stopping story told from the view point of his wife Maureen as she takes her own journey and discovers how to reconnect with the world.
Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there.
Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.
Maureen Fry has settled into the quiet life she now shares with her husband Harold after his iconic walk across England. Now, ten years later, an unexpected message from the North disturbs her equilibrium again, and this time it is Maureen's turn to make her own journey.
But Maureen is not like Harold. She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she'll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North is a deeply felt, lyrical novel, full of warmth and kindness. Short, exquisite, powerful- it is about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better.

Led Zeppelin - The Original BBC Sessions 3CD
KDO: Led Zeppelin vznikli v roce 1968. Během následující deká-dy se stali jednou z nejvlivnějších, nejinovativnějších a také nejúspěšnějších hudebních skupin na světě. Jejich nahrávky patří k nejoslavovanějším v rock’n’rollové historii. John Bon-ham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page a Robert Plant prodali pod hlavičkou Led Zeppelin přes 300 milionů alb. Jejich hudba re-zonuje napříč generacemi.
CO: Původní záznam ze série natáčení pro britské BBC v letech 1969 až 1971 je v rámci reedice doplněn o osm dosud nevydaných nahrávek, z nichž tři pocházejí z kdysi ztracené ses-sion z roku 1969. Deska je dostupná na 3CD nebo pěti 180g vi-nylech, případně v boxu, kde je k diskům přidána i možnost stáhnout si hi-res audio 96kHz/16bit a dále i osmačtyři-cetistránková knížka s fotografiemi a další memorabilie. Prvních
20 tisíc boxů je očíslovaných. Na reedici stejně jako v předchozích případech dohlížel kytarista Jimmy Page, jenž nahrávku osobně zremasteroval. Nejhodnotněji se zřejmě budou příznivcům Led Zeppelin jevit tři nahrávky ze záznamu, jenž byl dlouho považován za ztracený a v očích fanoušků získal až mýtický status. V dubnu 1969 byly natočeny skladby I Can’t Quit You Baby, You Shook Me a Sunshine Woman. Podle Jim-myho Page je nahrávka důkazem toho, jak organická kapela Led Zeppelin byli: „Mohli jsme zásadně měnit věci pokaždé, kdy jsme je hráli.“ Jeho kolega John Paul Jones v rozhovoru pro Wall Of Sound kdysi prohlásil:
„Nahrávky vznikly v době, kdy jsme především koncertovali. Výchozím bodem pro nás byla vždy studiová
alba, na cestách jsme ale skladby dál rozvíjeli a právě v takové fázi jsou písně na BBC Sessions zachyceny.“

Memoirs from the House of the Dead (Oxford World´s Classics)
In this almost documentary account of his own experiences of penal servitude in Serbia, Dostoevsky describes the physical and mental suffering of the convicts, the squalor and the degradation, in relentless detail. The inticate procedure whereby the men strip for the bath without removing their ten-pound leg-fetters is an extraordinary tour de force, compared by Turgenev to passages from Dante's Inferno. Terror and resignation - the rampages of a pyschopath, the brief serence interlude of Christmas Day - are evoked by Dostoevsky, writing several years after his release, with a strikingly uncharacteristic detachment. For this reason, House of the Dead is certainly the least Dostoevskian of his works, yet, paradoxically, it ranks among his great masterpieces.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Hardest Fall. A legerősebb érzés
Pontosan ez történik. Kezdek belezúgni. Kezdünk egymásba zúgni. Totálisan. Amikor két ember első ízben találkozik, egymásra néznek, mosolyognak, köszönnek. Alapesetben ez ilyen egyszerű. Csak épp nem nálam. Amikor először találkoztam Dylan Reeddel, a szemem egy másik testrészére fókuszált. Tudod, én egy borzasztóan félszeg lány vagyok. Rémes, ahogyan képes vagyok minden szamárságot összehordani! Arról nem is beszélve, milyen mesteri szinten csinálok bolondot magamból a srác előtt, aki tetszik nekem. Akkor még semmit nem tudtam róla. Mindegy, miket zagyválok, gondoltam, hisz úgysem fogok többet találkozni vele.
Kiderült, hogy tévedtem.
A futballcsapat sztárja, azon kevesek egyike, aki várhatóan bejut az NFL-be, a campus minden szegletében belém botlott. Felajánlkoztam neki, aztán elszaladtam, majd megtámadtam egy konyhai eszközzel, és… Uh, talán el sem kellene mesélnem, miket tettem még. Bár az én esetemben ez mind-mind… normálisnak számít. De végül eljött a pillanat, amikor már nem rejtőzhettem tovább – nem mintha Dylan hagyta volna. Most, hogy nap mint nap összefutunk, látja, hogy alig bírom levenni róla a szemem. Rám mosolyog, és azt mondja, lenyűgözik a szeszélyeim. Azt hiszi, barátok leszünk. Én meg úgy érzem, ő ennél sokkal több nekem. Minél jobban megismerem, annál kevésbé érdekel, hogy nem zúghatok bele.

Notes from the Underground: WITH The Gambler (Oxford World´s Classics)
One of the most profound and disturbing works of nineteenth-century literature, Notes from the Underground is a probing and speculative work, often regarded as a forerunner to the Existentialist movement. The Gambler explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of Dostoevsky's own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. Both works are new translations, specially commissioned for the World's Classics series.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
