The Game
On the eve of their wedding, twenty-year-old Jack Fleming arranges a secret ringside seat for his sweetheart to view her only rival: the "game." Through Genevieve's apprehensive eyes, we watch the prizefight that pits her fair young lover, "the Pride of West Oakland," against the savage and brutish John Ponta and that reveals as much about her own nature, and Joe's, as it does about the force that drives the two men in their violent, fateful encounter. Responding to a review that took him to task for his realism, Jack London wrote, "I have had these experiences and it was out of these experiences, plus a fairly intimate knowledge of prize-fighting in general, that I wrote The Game." With this intimate realism, London took boxing out of the realm of disreputable topics and set it on a respectable literary course that extends from A. J. Liebling to Ernest Hemingway to Joyce Carol Oates. The familiarity of London's boxing writing testifies to its profound influence on later literary commentators on the sport, while the story The Game tells remains one of the most powerful and evocative portraits ever given of prizefighters in the grip of their passion.

Královna Gabriela
Zažíváme nový fenomén s popularitou příliš nevzdálenou Jaromíru Jágrovi. Ano, máme pocit, že zíráme na zcela novou sportovní divu, která nás okouzlila svou osobností a rovněž strhla sportovními výkony, a navíc jde o ženu neorenesanční!
Rodačka z Jablonce píše opravdu velký příběh. Od dětství vzhlíží k mamince, stříbrné v běhu na lyžích z olympiády v Sarajevu 1984, nejen kvůli sportovním výsledkům, ale hlavně proto, že v ní vidí ženu čestnou a vůbec výjimečnou.
Do lyžařských tréninků se zpočátku ovšem nehrne. Začne na ně chodit hlavně kvůli kamarádům a dětem, které znala. Ostatně jako malá holka touží být herečkou anebo zpěvačkou a také sní o krásném princi. Toho zřejmě nyní potkala, ale sotva mohla tušit, že zůstane u sportu, který zrovna není pro princezny.
„Naši mě vedli i uměleckým směrem. Chodila jsem malovat, na klavír a zpívat, vystudovala uměleckou školu, takže jsem vždycky inklinovala spíš k umění než ke sportu. Jenže, dostala jsem se do puberty, a když mám být upřímná, bála jsem se, ztloustnu, tak jsem dala sportu ještě šanci.“
První velký úspěch zažívá ve svých devatenácti na juniorském mistrovství světa v kanadském Canmore, kde společně s Veronikami Vítkovou a Zvařičovou získává zlato ve štafetě. První dospělý triumf slaví ve slovinské Pokljuce, aby pak zapsala sérii dalších jedenácti velkých vítězství ve Světovém poháru. K úspěchům samozřejmě náleží individuální stříbra z olympiády v Soči a mistrovství světa ve Finsku 2015, kde slaví i zlato ve smíšené štafetě. Cestu na vrchol však nemá jednoduchou. Gabriela v roce 2011 překoná mononukleózu a rovněž nečekanou krizi po olympiádě v Soči a s ní i pokles sportovní výkonnosti. Zažívá syndrom vyhoření a únavy, závodí bez chuti, hlavou procházejí myšlenky o konci kariéry.
Zpátky ji naštěstí navrací vítězný sprint v prosinci 2014, po dvou letech opět v Pokljuce, místě pro ni zřejmě zaslíbeném. Složitou cestu k vrcholu završuje vítězstvím Světového poháru v sezoně 2015/16, stává se tak nejlepší biatlonistkou světa.
„Je to prostě mazec a splněný sen. Není nic víc, než křišťálový glóbus.“
A pak je tu vedle sportovního renomé zcela nepřehlédnutelný a neopomenutelný Gabrielin fantom. Už zdaleka není pouhou kráskou na lyžích a s flintou, ale hlavně ženou obdivovanou muži, to samozřejmě, ale i stejným pohlavím. Proč? Nepochybně pro onu neorenesanci, umělecké nadání a oduševnělost. Hrdinka knihy je především žena, a jak sama říká – žena musí dobře vypadat v každé situaci – a Gabriela také řekne, že pravá krása se skrývá uvnitř nás, a tak je navíc ženou velmi inspirativní, pozitivní, osvěžující a vtipnou – i půvabně roztržitou – a také hodně přemýšlející a vystupující s pokorou.
„Věřím, že bez ní to nikdy nejde. Člověk by měl stát nohama pevně na zemi. Odmala mě rodiče vychovávali k tomu, že pokud je někdo úspěšný, o to víc se na něm cení, když zůstane normální a skromný,“ vysloví mladá žena, která už dávno není pouze krásná.
I proto autor otevírá stránky pozoruhodného příběhu Češky, která před našima očima dobývá svět.

The Doubter (EN)
I shook his shoulder. ‘All right? You all right, Dave? Dave?’ He leaned his head back and closed his eyes hard, as he clenched his fists and started beating them against the wall. ‘We need to get you to a hospital,’ I said. ‘Nah, fuck that. Let’s just get away from here. ’ We walked on through the rain.

Redoute, Book of Flowers
Flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon's wife Josephine, he was dubbed "the Raphael of flowers," and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.
This collection brings our best-selling XL-sized edition to a smaller, more convenient format, still gathering some of the finest color engravings from Redoute's illustrations of Roses, Lilies, and Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits). Offering a vibrant overview of Redoute's admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.

The Old Testament 21 - Ecclesiates (EN)
The book of Ecclesiastes contains Proverbs, maxims, sayings, and is largely an autobiographical story. Solomon wrote it late in his life, approximately 935 B. C. He had become aware of the mistakes that he made throughout his life and began to document them. The purpose of Ecclesiastes is to spare future generations the suffering and misery of seeking after foolish, meaningless, materialistic emptiness, and to offer wisdom by discovering truth in seeking after God.

Premena + CD
Mením seba - mením svet (+Bonus CD Premena - kompilácia k jednotlivým kapitolám.
Dlhoočakávaný knižný debut predstaviteľa slovenského uvedomelého hip-hopu, ktorý prešiel vo svojom živote výraznou sebapremenou. Podnetom k napísaniu tejto knihy bola častá otázka okolia: „Suve, čo sa stalo, že si sa zmenil?“
Kniha je rozdelená do troch ucelených a zároveň prepojených častí: chronologickú, tématickú a transcendentálnu. Postupným čítaním cez dejovú gradáciu čitateľ povzdvihuje svoje vnímanie a uvedomenie spolu s vývojom samotnej knihy. Titul je rozdelený na tri rôzne úrovne vedomia.
Uplynulo 100 rokov od vydania literárneho diela Franza Kafku Premena. Suve prichádza so svojím debutom s rovnomenným názvom, avšak s odlišným obsahom a záverom, že Premena stála pokračuje, deje sa celú večnosť a je jediná nemenná vec, ktorá existuje...
Kniha obsahuje hudobné CD, ktoré dotvára jednotlivé kapitoly knihy.

The Book of Joy
Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final goodbye.

The Collector of Worlds
The Collector of Worlds is a meditation on the extraordinary life of infamous explorer Sir Richard Burton. The first westerner to make the hajj to Mecca, he also discovered the source of the Nile with Speke. His translation of the "Arabian Nights" is one of the great moments in the encounter between Islam and the West, that scandalised his contemporaries with its salty eroticism. Troyanov's novel does full justice to this great, controversial mediator between cultures. The book imagines his encounter with India as a young officer, and brings to life his trials and travels through the eyes of his Indian servant, the Sharif of Mecca and the former slave who guided Burton to the Nile.

The Death Ivan Ilych and other stories (riverrun editions)
'How truth thickens and deepens when it migrates from didactic fable to the raw experience of a visceral awakening is one of the thrills of Tolstoy's stories'
Sharon Cameron in her preface to The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories
Tolstoy wrote in many genres for different audiences. In this, the first of three volumes of his shorter fiction chosen and introduced by the critic Sharon Cameron, we see works originally written for children, like 'God Sees the Truth But Waits', and 'A Prisoner in the Caucasus'. They stand alongside others which show his range and accomplishment, including an early story based on his experiences in the Crimean war, 'Sevastopol in May', and the visceral intensity of one of his greatest works, 'The Death of Ivan Ilych'.
This riverrun edition reissues the translation of Louise and Aylmer Maude, whose influential versions of Tolstoy first brought his work to a wide readership in English.

The Book of You
Give The Book of You one minute of your time each day and achieve a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life. Change can be hard and rarely happens overnight. The aim of this book is to empower you to make change happen. The Book of You contains 365 micro-actions, one for each day of the year, grouped under four areas - Food, Mind, Move and Love, for example: Love: Smile at a Stranger: Has someone ever suddenly smiled at you on a busy street? Remember the feeling after the initial surprise? Today when you are out and about, smile at a stranger. Mind: Set a Go-To-Sleep Alarm: We use alarm clocks to get us up in the morning, but for many the challenge is actually the night before - hitting the sack early enough. Tonight, decide on a bedtime and set an alarm for when it's time to go to sleep. Food: Go Nuts: Pay homage to the wonderful world of nuts. They're deliciously diverse in flavour, packed with protein, essential good fats and minerals, and will give you an energy boost. Try just a small handful today as a snack, or added to a meal - pecans on porridge, pine nuts over pasta or crushed walnuts over a salad. Move: Activate Your Abs: While you are for example making breakfast or on the bus, pull your belly button in. This activates your deep abdominal muscles that are usually asleep, which is amazing for your lower back to provide support. The action host contributors to The Book of You include chef Jamie Oliver, productivity expert and author of Small Move, Big Change Caroline Arnold, fitness trainer Jamie Sawyer, neuroscientists Dr Tara Swart and Dr Darya Rose, and fitness guru Dani Stevens. Life is not about how many steps you walk, how many calories you eat or your place on the leaderboard. Life is about feelings, moments, shared experiences; enjoying every victory, celebrating balance and showing vulnerability. Complete just one micro-action each day - eat more fruit, take the stairs, do a random act of kindness - and it will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life.
