Night shift
A collection of terrifying stories that reveal a shudderingly detailed map of the dark places that lie behind our waking, rational world. This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered, a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems. ´An incredibly gifted writer, whose writing, like Truman Capote´s, is so fluid that you often forget that you´re reading´ (Guardian )

Il cavaliere inesistente
Questo romanzo di Calvino viene ad affiancarsi a 'Il visconte dimezzato' e a 'Il barone rampante', compiendo una trilogia di emblematiche figure, quasi un albero genealogico di antenati dell'uomo contemporaneo. Stavolta Calvino si è spinto più a ritroso nei secoli e il suo romanzo si svolge tra i paladini di Carlomagno, in quel Medioevo fuori d'ogni verosimiglianza storica e geografica che è propria dei romanzi cavallereschi. - Dalla quarta di copertina (anonima) di Calvino alla prima edizione.

Me Cheeta: The Autobiography
Kate Summerscale, Guardian (Book of the Year) 'Easily my favourite book of the year!funny scandalous and moving.' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday (Books of the Year) 'It's the book everyone's talking about, a book that makes you gaffaw out loud.' Evening Standard (Books of the Year) 'A hilarious satire of memory and lore in Hollywood!Nabokovian, only hairier'.' Joseph O'Neill, Guardian 'Even though Cheeta has no morals or manners and gives an extravagantly unreliable account of himself, the personality that leaps from these pages remains a more plausible construction than those offered (in other celebrity memoirs). This unquestionably is the gold glinting in the cloacal slurry. Any celebs hoping to crack next year's Christmas market should take note: look upon the work of the guy with the hairy ears and saggy scarlet bottom and despair.' Independent on Sunday (Books of the Year) 'Undoubtedly the year's best not-a-memoir-at-all!It's hard to conceive of anyone who'd like a biography for Christmas who wouldn't like a copy of this truly, horribly funny book.' Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year) 'It is a lovely way to look at the history of Hollywood, and probably more truthful than most accounts.' Spectator 'The literary equivalent of Cheeta's own triple-back-flip-handclap-double-lip-flip-and-grin"...all of this delivered in glorious inventive prose. Whoever you are, I salute you!' Scotland on Sunday 'A hilarious book.' Sunday Times 'Me Cheeta may well be the finest Hollywood memoir ever written...right up there with the likes of David Niven.' Mail On Sunday 'Laugh-out-loud hilarious...also a moving tribute to the man who will forever be associated with the role of Tarzan.' Sunday Telegraph 'The most rollicking showbiz-memoir since David Niven's Bring on the Empty Horses...Me Cheeta is a satirical masterpiece.' Telegraph 'A unique, witty and magnificently bitchy Hollywood satire -- and oddly touching to boot.' Metro (Books of the Year) 'You'll not read a better evocation of celebritydom. The best celebrity memoir you'll read this year...a joyous satire on Hollywood's Golden Age.'Observer 'Admirably irreverent and iconoclastic.' Sunday Business Post 'What a memoir it is!' The Sunday Tribune 'Not many come as honest as this banana-munching, Tarzan-famed fella.' Zoo Magazine '!a lot better than a fictional autobiography of Hollywood chimpanzee ought to be!amusing.' Kate Saunders, The Times."

Hidden City
The final breathtaking volume in the Tamuli series. The pace, as always, is white hot -- as are the special effects. As readers will know from Book Two, the Shining One Xanetia can melt her enemies with a touch. Fortunately, she is on the side of our hero, and so is the god Edaemus, whose (literally) volcanic rage will be useful in the continuing fight to save the Tamul Empire from the ravages of sinister King Cyrgon of the Cyrgai. Cyrgon has called forth Bhelliom's equal in supernatural power, Klael, the very essence of evil. And while Sparhawk is leading armies of Pandion Knights, Atan giants and Trolls in battle, Queen Ehlana is taken hostage in Matherion by the renegade Styric Zalasta and the madman Scarpa. The price for her return is no less than the Blue Rose. Taken in chains first to the jungles of Arjuna in the South, Ehlana is tracked by Sparhawk using both Delphaeic and Styric magic. But by then Sephrenia has been murdered and Ehlana has been removed to the Hidden City of the Cyrgai. The City is protected by magic and by the invincible Klael. The ultimate battle must be fought.

Baudolino
In quella zona del basso Piemonte dove, anni dopo, sorgera Alessandria, Baudolino, un piccolo contadino fantasioso e bugiardo, conquista Federico Barbarossa e ne diventa figlio adottivo. Baudolino affabula e inventa ma, quasi per miracolo, tutto quello che immagina, produce Storia. Cosi, tra le altre cose, costruisce la mitica lettera del Prete Gianni, che prometteva all'Occidente un regno favoloso, nel lontano Oriente, governato da un re cristiano. Avventura picaresca, romanzo storico in cui emergono in germe i problemi dell'Italia contemporanea, storia di un delitto impossibile, racconto fantastico, teatro di invenzioni linguistiche esilaranti, questo libro celebra la forza del mito e dell'utopia.

Lacná kniha Rheims (-70%)
35 years of daring, defiant photography.Since her first photographs in the late '70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection. This Rheims retrospective showcases more than 500 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant, photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection juxtaposes renowned series such as Chambre Close with many previously unpublished archival pictures and entries from Rheims's own "diary," detailing behind-the-scenes work and personal memories. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the vigor of each image as for the thrilling variety of Rheims's subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to such global beauty stars as Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims's particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.

Thinking in Pictures
Why thinking in pictures? Short answer: because the words seem to need help. If you sample the many smart-thinking books to hit the shelves recently, they all promise a smarter, more rational you, and it all seems just pages away. But if the books are that good, why are there so many? And have they succeeded in moving the dial of people's reasoning?
Using illustrations and photographs, Michael Blastland shows how pictures can help put ideas to the test, making them vivid, showing them in action. Part guide, part gallery, Thinking in Pictures is a brilliantly original and witty introduction to smart-thinking - how to use it and when to question it - for anyone trying to make sense of a puzzling world.
Diablo: Book of Cain
Delve deeper into the dark fantasy world of the Diablo universe as Deckard Cain shares history and lore in this fictional illustrated journal.
In Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo® and Diablo II, the recurring character of Deckard Cain delivered quests, accompanied the brave adventurer, and, as the last of the Horadrim, provided a link to the greater history of the world of Sanctuary. Ever mysterious during these appearances, Cain hinted at a larger story, providing snippets of it in his notebook. Diablo III: Book of Cain is Cain’s formal record of this greater tale?a dissertation on the lore of the Diablo universe, told by one who has witnessed and participated in some of the epic events that make up the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.
Designed as an “in-world” artifact from the Diablo universe, Diablo III: Book of Cain includes Cain’s revealing meditations, as well as dozens of sketches and colour artworks depicting the angelic and demonic beings who wage constant war with one another.
On Our Best Behaviour
Why do women equate self-denial with being 'good'?
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:
Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.
These so-called 'deadly sins' have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work.
So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be 'good'?
Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.

The Essential Harlem Detectives
A friend and contemporary of Richard Wright and James Baldwin - and every bit their equal - Chester Himes was the acclaimed author of literary novels, stories and essays, as well as the classic crime fiction series for which he is best known, featuring detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Gravedigger Jones.
Himes wrote nine novels in the Harlem Detectives series, and in these four popular, accomplished instalments, his cold, wise-cracking sleuths are thrown into a brutal, murderous world peopled with conniving con men, gut-toting gangsters and opium-smoking preachers. Himes's vision of Harlem's criminal underground, enriched by deft plotting and scintillating dialogue, is both riotous entertainment and penetrating enquiry into the fraught tensions of race in postwar America.
