The Fellowship of the Ring
Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien's own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power -- the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring -- the ring that rules them all -- which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Now published again in B format, J.R.R. Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail.
The day the country died
Anglie je kolébka punku a právě historii punku v letech osmdesáté v zemi zaslíbené se věnuje tato kniha. Její autor aktivně působil ve scéně v jejích zlatých časech a pomocí spousty jiných veteránů se mu podařilo vytvořit skvěle čtivou směsku která mapuje anglickou anarchopunk scénu a kapely jako Crass, Conflict, Zounds, Subhumans a mnoho jiných. Nechybí doporučené diskografie a fotografie.

Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common.

Cesta k pólu A Journey to the Pole Kora Kailash DVD
„Fascinující osobitý dokument, výborné spojení obrazu a zvuku…..., některé zvukové momenty se vsákly do obrazu natolik, že jejich výsledná kombinace na mne v určitých chvílích působila až hypnoticky! Je to dobrodružství, které vás určitě vtáhne a pohltí!“ řekl po shlédnutí filmu Shiva Dhakal , ředitel královské horolezecko- trekingové společnosti RMT v Káthmandú (Nepál). DVD ´CESTA – Journey´ vzniklo jako další realizační výstup projektu „Z PÓLU NA PÓL“, jehož zakladatelem je Oldřich Bubák. Ten je zároveň kameramanem i producentem tohoto filmu. (Pozn. Oldřich Bubák je prvním Čechem, který došel na severní pól {1996} a jižní pól {1999} pěšky na lyžích) DVD – Journey´ je uspořádáno do dvou částí. První, s názvem ´CESTA K PÓLU´, je cestou autora k jižnímu pólu v Antarktidě, tedy ke geografickému pólu. Druhá, s názvem ´KORA KAILASH´, je cestou autora k duchovnímu pólu, k nejposvátnější hoře světa - Mt. Kailash, ležící v západním Tibetu . Oba filmy bez použití komentáře, doprovázené velmi citlivě zkomponovanou hudbou, jsou v souladu s ní členěné do jednoduchých ´vět´, mající svůj logický a emotivní smysl; mimořádná, fascinující bohatost obrazu jde jakoby proti hudbě a činí z filmu podmanivou podívanou. DVD je ve dvou jazykových mutacích a je doplněno o bonusy v podobě rozhovorů a osobních vyjádření aktérů včetně fotogalerie - výběru unikátních barevných fotografií z mnoha expedic Oldřich Bubáka do Antarktidy a do Tibetu. DVD “CESTA – Journey“ lze doporučit jako zcela mimořádný zážitek všem náročným divákům.

The Blacker the Berry
Celebrating the finest works of the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important Black arts movements in modern history.
'Why not? She's just as a good as the rest, and you know what they say, "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice"'
Growing up, Emma Lou Morgan stuck out - her skin was the darkest in every room, even within her own home. With the encouragement of her uncle, Emma flees smalltown Idaho firstly to study in Los Angeles before travelling to Harlem. Though she enjoys the glamour of attending the theatre and the buzz of cabaret, every excursion is tinged with the fear of discrimination. Even in big cities, Emma cannot escape the bigotry of colourism, but can she change how it makes her feel about herself?
The Blacker the Berry is an arrestingly vivid portrayal of how very deeply every facet of prejudice runs.

The Oldest Book in the World
A new translation of a philosophical and practical advice classic of the ancient world, The Teaching of Ptahhatp, written in Egypt four thousand years ago and still relevant for modern readers today.
Noted author and Egyptologist Bill Manley renders into approachable modern English for the first time the oldest surviving statement of philosophy from the ancient world: the thirty-seven teachings and twelve conclusions of The Teaching of Ptahhatp, vizier, or chief minister, to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (2390–2350 BCE). Manley’s expert commentary elucidates Ptahhatp’s profound yet practical philosophy, which covers such topics as ambition, fame, confrontation, sex, and wisdom, and offers a unique window onto ancient Egyptian life and society.
The Teaching of Ptahhatp ought to begin the list of the world’s classics of philosophy, yet it has been largely forgotten since its rediscovery in the nineteenth century. Manley’s new translation corrects this oversight, making accessible for the first time the Old Kingdom vizier Ptahhatp’s concise, helpful insights into the human condition.
New translations of two further texts?The Dialogue Between a Man and His Soul, in which a man asks himself, “What is the point of living?,” and Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world?demonstrate how Ptahhatp’s philosophy was founded in ancient Egyptian beliefs about truth and reality. Manley introduces the vizier and the world within which he operated, as well as the significance of the “oldest book of the world,” preserved in a scroll now known as the Papyrus Prisse in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. Together these works by Ptahhatp provide a new perspective on the Pyramid Age and overturn traditional stereotypes about the origins of Western philosophy.

The Meaning of Life
A thought-provoking and practical guide to one of the greatest questions we will ever face - what is the meaning of life?
To wonder too openly or intensely about the meaning of life can seem a peculiar, illfated and faintly ridiculous pastime. It can seem like a topic on which ordinary mortals cannot make much progress. In truth, it is for all of us to wonder about, define and work towards a more meaningful existence.
This book considers a range of options for where the meaning of life is to be found, including love, family, friendship, work, self-knowledge and nature. We learn why certain things feel meaningful while others don't, and consider how we might introduce more meaning into our activities

But no sooner is the ship out to sea than devilry begins to blight the voyage. Strange symbols appear on the sails. A figure stalks the decks. Livestock are slaughtered. Passengers are plagued with ominous threats, promising them three unholy miracles. First: an impossible pursuit. Second: an impossible theft.
Then: an impossible murder.
With Pipps imprisoned in the depths of the ship, can his loyal bodyguard, Arent Hayes, solve the mystery before the ship descends into anarchy?

Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells (Light Novel) Vol. 1
Revenge in another world–with an abnormal twist! (And don’t miss the manga adaptation, also from Seven Seas.)
Abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, Mimori Touka and his classmates have been summoned by the world’s resident Goddess to serve as heroes. Luckily, most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival—except for Mimori, whose abilities bottom out at a measly E-rank. With no further use for him, the Goddess banishes Mimori to a dungeon from which no one has ever returned alive. Yet, as it turns out, Mimori’s skills aren’t so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, even. If Mimori can only claw his way back to the surface, nothing will stand in his way from getting revenge.
