Labyrint - Zkoušky ohněm BD
Když Thomas a jeho kamarádi dokázali uniknout z vražedného labyrintu, doufali, že se dokážou vrátit ke svým starým životům. Nemohli se ale splést víc. Místo svobody je čekal pouhý postup do druhé fáze zkoušky připravené organizací Z.L.S.N. Pro Thomase a ostatní přeživší Placery z labyrintu tak běhání zdaleka nekončí. Jejich další útěk je zavede na Spáleniště, nejvíce sežehnutou část planety, krajinu plnou nepředstavitelných překážek. Sluneční erupce sežehly Zemi na popel a proměnily ji v pustinu. Světové vlády se zhroutily – a s nimi i řád a právo. Rozpadajícími se troskami měst teď bloudí takzvaní „raplové", lidé pokrytí hnisajícími ranami, které nakažlivý virus dohnal za hranu příčetnosti. Jejich jediným cílem je najít cokoliv živého, aby se nasytili. Thomas a jeho přátelé musí rychle najít bezpečné útočiště a organizace Z.L.S.N. se stará o hlavně to, aby jim šance na přežití nastavila v jejich neprospěch. Placeři se ale dokáží spojit s bojovníky odporu, zasáhnout vrchní velení Z.L.S.N. a odhalit tak další šokující plány, které si pro ně společnost přichystala. Thomase čeká tvrdá zkouška ohněm. Skutečně se někde uvnitř v jeho hlavě skrývá tajemství, které je zachrání?

Marina
The novel Carlos Ruiz Zafón wrote just before THE SHADOW OF THE WIND.
'Fifteen years on, the remembrance of that day has returned to me. I have seen that boy wandering through the mist of the railway station, and the name of Marina has flared up again like a fresh wound. We all have a secret buried under lock and key in the attic of our soul. This is mine...'
In May 1980, 15-year-old Oscar Drai suddenly vanishes from his boarding school in the old quarter of Barcelona. For seven days and nights no one knows his whereabouts...
His story begins in the heart of old Barcelona, when he meets Marina and her father German Blau, a portrait painter. Marina takes Oscar to a cemetery to watch a macabre ritual that occurs on the fourth Sunday of each month. At 10 a.m. precisely a coach pulled by black horses appears. From it descends a woman dressed in black, her face shrouded, wearing gloves, holding a single rose. She walks over to a gravestone that bears no name, only the mysterious emblem of a black butterfly with open wings.
When Oscar and Marina decide to follow her they begin a journey that will take them to the heights of a forgotten, post-war Barcelona, a world of aristocrats and actresses, inventors and tycoons; and a dark secret that lies waiting in the mysterious labyrinth beneath the city streets.

Atlas of Improbable Places
It is perhaps the eighth wonder of our world that despite modern mapping and satellite photography our planet continues to surprise us. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity lie in the most unusual of destinations. Travis Elborough goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged. Taking in the defiant relics of ancient cities such as Ani, a once thriving metropolis lost to conquered lands, and the church tower of San Juan Parangaricuto, that miraculously stands as the sole survivor of a town sunk by lava. Through the labyrinths of Berlin and Beijing - underground realms dug for refuge, espionage and even, as Canada's Moose Jaw, used as the playground for gangsters trading liquor and money over cards. Never forgetting the freaks and wonders of nature's own unusual masterpieces: the magical underground river shaped like a dragon's mouth in the Philippines and the floating world of Palmerston. With beautiful maps and stunning photography illustrating each destination, Atlas of Improbable Places is a fascinating voyage to the world's most incredible destinations. As the Island of Dolls and the hauntingly titled Door to Hell - an inextinguishable fire pit - attest, mystery is never far away. The truths and myths behind their creation are as varied as the destinations themselves. Standing as symbols of worship, testaments to kingships or even the strange and wonderful traditions of old and new, these curious places are not just extraordinary sights but reflections on man's own relationship with the world around us.

Der Schatten Des Windes
Als der junge Daniel, von seinem Vater geführt, den geheimen "Friedhof der Vergessenen Bücher" betritt, ahnt er nicht, daß in diesem unwirklich scheinenden Labyrinth sein Leben eine drastische Wende nehmen wird. Er darf sich ein Buch auswählen, für das er allein die Verantwortung trägt. Das Buch, das er sich greift, Der Schatten des Windes von einem gewissen Julián Carax, wird ihn sein ganzes zukünftiges Leben nicht mehr loslassen. Daniel, der allein mit seinem Vater im grauen Barcelona der Franco-Ära aufwächst, ist fasziniert von der Geschichte, die er liest. Er macht sich auf die Suche nach dem geheimnisvollen Autor, will wissen, wer dieser Mensch war, was ihm widerfahren ist, warum nur noch so wenige Exemplare seiner Bücher erhalten sind. Was als neugieriges Spiel beginnt, wird rasch zur Bedrohung, als ein Mann mit narbiger Ledermaske auftaucht, der hinter Daniels Exemplar her ist. Das Unheimliche bekommt beängstigend konkrete Gestalt. Daniels Leben gerät mehr und mehr in den Bann des mysteriösen Autors, von dem keiner weiß, warum jemand all seine Bücher bis aufs letzte Exemplar zu vernichten sucht. Alle Menschen, denen Daniel begegnet, auch die Frauen, in die er sich verliebt, scheinen nur Figuren in diesem großen Spiel zu sein. Sie alle haben es darauf abgesehen, Daniel in die Irre zu führen. Aus seinem Lieblingsroman wächst ihm die Realität entgegen, und es ist, als ob die vergangene Geschichte sich in seinem eigenen Leben wiederhole, das von den Schatten furchtbarer Ereignisse verdunkelt zu werden droht. Vor dem Hintergrund eines gespenstisch schimmernden Barcelona inszeniert Zafón einen dicht gewobenen Spannungsroman, der jenseits aller gängigen Romangenres souverän und mit Witz eine fesselnde, packende Geschichte erzählt.

Hot Milk
A richly mythic, colour-saturated tale from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Swimming Home - Deborah Levy explores the violently primal bond between mother and daughter. Today I dropped my laptop on the concrete floor. It was tucked under my arm and slid out of its black rubber sheath, landing screen-side down. The digital page shattered. Apparently there's a man in the next flyblown town who mends computers. He could send off for a new screen, which would take a month to arrive. Will I still be here in a month? My mother is sleeping under a mosquito net in the next room. Soon she will wake up and shout, 'Sofia, get me a glass of water', and I will get her water and it will be the wrong sort of water. And then after a while I will leave her and return to gaze at the shattered starfield of my screen. Two women arrive in a Spanish village - a dreamlike place caught between the desert and the ocean - seeking medical advice and salvation. One of the strangers suffers from a mysterious illness: spontaneous paralysis confines her to a wheelchair, her legs unusable. The other, her daughter Sofia, has spent years playing the reluctant detective in this mystery, struggling to understand her mother's illness. Surrounded by the oppressive desert heat and the mesmerising figures who move through it, Sofia waits while her mother undergoes the strange programme of treatments invented by Dr Gomez. Searching for a cure to a defiant and quite possibly imagined disease, ever more entangled in the seductive, mercurial games of those around her, Sofia finally comes to confront and reconcile the disparate fragments of her identity. Hot Milk is a labyrinth of violent desires, primal impulses, and surreally persuasive internal logic. Examining female rage and sexuality, Deborah Levy's dazzling new novel explores the strange and monstrous nature of motherhood, testing the bonds of parent and child to breaking point.

Collected Stories
Collected Stories brings together many of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's spellbinding short stories, each brimming with a blend of the surreal, the magical, and the everyday that Nobel-Prize-winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude Marquez is known for. Sweeping through crumbling towns, travelling fairs and windswept ports, Gabriel Garcia Marquez introduces a host of extraordinary characters and communities in his mesmerizing tales of everyday life: smugglers, bagpipers, the President and Pope at the funeral of Macondo's revered matriarch; a every old angel with enormous wings, stranded in a young couple's back garden; a town plagued by dying birds that fall from the sky and an awestruck village captivated by a beautiful drowned sailor. Teeming with the magical oddities for which his novels are loved, Marquez's stories are a delight. "These stories abound with love affairs, ruined beauty, and magical women. It is essence of Marquez". (Guardian). "Of all the living authors known to me, only one is undoubtedly touched by genius: Gabriel Garcia Marquez". (Sunday Telegraph). "It becomes more and more fun to read. It shows what "fabulous" really means". (Time Out). As one of the pioneers of magic realism and perhaps the most prominent voice of Latin American literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez has received international recognition for his novels, works of non-fiction and collections of short stories. Those published in translation by Penguin include Autumn of the Patriarch, Bon Voyage Mr. President, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The General in his Labyrinth, In the Evil Hour, Innocent Erendira and Other Stories, Leaf Storm, Living to Tell the Tale, Love in the Time of Cholera, Memories of Melancholy Whores, News of a Kidnapping, No-one Writes to the Colonel, Of Love and Other Demons, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor and Strange Pilgrims.

Chemickal Marriage
If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones, they need seek no further ...an epic". (Scotsman). The adventure continues in G.W. Dahlquist's The Chemickal Marriage, the follow up to the popular The Glass Book of Dream Eaters and The Dark Volume. Miss Temple, young, wealthy and far away from home, never wanted to be a heroine. Yet her fiance is dead (admittedly, by her own hand), her companions slain and her nemesis, the terrifyingly wicked Contessa Lacquer-Sforza, escaped. It falls on her tiny shoulders to destroy a deadly cabal whose alchemy threatens to enslave the world. Miss Temple plots her revenge. But Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang are alive, barely - their bodies corrupted by the poisonous blue glass. Wounded and outnumbered, Miss Temple, Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang pursue their enemies through city slums and glittering palaces as they fight to prevent the cabal's crushing dominion and unholy marriage between man and machine. Dahlquist's rip-roaring adventure sees an assassin, an heiress and a surgeon battle against the world's most unholy evil, in their final quest. "If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones, they need seek no further ...an epic which . ..will only grow in popularity over the years [thanks to] its virtues, hi-jinks, horror, decadence and derring-do". (Stuart Kelly, Scotsman). "Fantastic. Somewhere between Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and Rider Haggard. I was in seventh heaven". (Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth on The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters). G. W. Dahlquist is a novelist and playwright. When he fell asleep during a snowstorm, his first book The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters came to him in a dream. This is his third novel. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, he now lives in New York.
