The Genius
Theodore Dreiser heavily invested himself in The Genius, an autobiographical novel first published in 1915. Thoroughly immersed in the turn-of-the-century art scene, The Genius explores the multiple conflicts between art and business, art and marriage, and between traditional and modern views of sexual morality. Despite heavy editing, The Genius was deemed so shocking that its sale was immediately prohibited by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. It was not released until 1923, and thereafter the episode confirmed Dreiser's status as a writer ahead of his time.

The Sheikh Wanted Her Pregnant
Do Arab girls grow up wanting to be Cinderella? Or does their Cinderella story have a twist? Emma Cole didn’t know. She was an innocent, 22 year-old American and this was her first time in Dubai. The exotic land entranced her. The men, or more precisely, one man, took her breath away. She saw him on the day she arrived, and then her dreams and her coffee shop. Nadeem was gorgeous and mysterious with eyes that devoured her. His allure was hypnotic. And pinned between his body and the wall, she could do nothing to resist him. “You will come with me tomorrow,” he demanded. “No, I will not,” she replied, even as she planned what she would wear. Italian sports cars, palaces, teasing, domination, being tied up, this was Nadeem’s world. Who was he? And what would this powerful man do to her? Do Arab girls want to be Cinderella? Emma didn’t know about them, but she did. What she got, though, was Cinderella with a twist. And it was that erotic twist that would change her life forever.

Daisy Jones & The Six
Rock and roll a javából! Hamarosan tv-sorozatként is hódít! Mindenki ismeri a Daisy Jones & The Sixet, de hogy miért oszlott fel az együttes a népszerűségük csúcsán, azt senki sem tudta… Mostanáig. Daisy Los Angeles-i tinédzser a hatvanas évek végén, aki a Sunset Strip klubjaiba kéredzkedik be, rocksztárokkal fekszik le, és arról álmodik, hogy egy nap majd a Whisky a Go Góban énekelhet. Bár a szex és a drogok is magukkal ragadják, az igazi szenvedélye a rock’n’roll. Húszéves korára felfedezik a hangját és páratlan szépségét, mely könnyen őrültségre sarkallja az embereket. Ekkor vált egyre népszerűbbé a The Six is, a mélabús Billy Dunne együttese. Első turnéjuk előestéjén Billy barátnője, Camila megtudja, hogy terhes, és az apaság és a hírnév nyomása túl sok Billynek, akivel kissé elszalad a ló a turnén. Daisy és Billy útja akkor keresztezi egymást, amikor egy zenei producer rájön, hogy a megasiker kulcsa a páros összehozása. És ami ezután történik, az már maga a legenda.
Ezt a mítoszt járja körbe ez a lebilincselő és felejthetetlen regény, amely a hetvenes évek egyik legnépszerűbb bandájának történetét meséli el visszaemlékezéseken keresztül. Taylor Jenkins Reid tehetséges író, aki új szintre lép a Daisy Jones & The Sixszel, különleges és egyedülálló hangjával zseniálisan mutat be egy kivételes helyet és időszakot.

Waits Tom - The Black Rider (2023 Remaster Edition) CD
Thomas Alan Waits (narodený 7. decembra 1949) je americký hudobník, skladateľ, skladateľ a herec. Jeho texty sa často zameriavajú na spodinu spoločnosti a sú prednesené jeho typickým hlbokým, štrkovitým hlasom. V 70. rokoch pôsobil predovšetkým v jazze, no jeho hudba od 80. rokov odrážala väčší vplyv blues, rock, vaudeville a experimentálne žánre. Napriek nedostatku mainstreamového komerčného úspechu Waits ovplyvnil mnohých hudobníkov a získal si medzinárodný kult a bolo o ňom napísaných niekoľko biografií. V roku 2015 sa umiestnil na 55. mieste v rebríčku "100 najlepších skladateľov všetkých čias" časopisu Rolling Stone. V roku 2011 ho uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.
"The Black Rider" je dvanásty štúdiový album, vydaný v roku 1993 na Island Records, obsahuje štúdiové verzie piesní, ktoré Waits napísal pre hru The Black Rider, ktorú režíroval Robert Wilson a na ktorej sa podieľal William S. Burroughs. Hra vychádza z nemeckej ľudovej rozprávky Der Freischütz od Johanna Augusta Apela, ktorú predtým spracoval do opery Carl Maria von Weber. Hra mala premiéru 31. marca 1990 v divadle Thalia v nemeckom Hamburgu. Jeho svetová premiéra v anglickom jazyku sa odohrala v roku 1998 na medzinárodnom festivale v Edmontone. Album bol remastrovaný Chrisom Bellmanom v Bernie Grundman Mastering z pôvodnej master pásky osobne pod dohľadom Toma Waitsa a Kathleen Brennan.

The Idiot
Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women—the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia—both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin’s honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him.
