Ve zlomku vteřiny - Bouřlivý život Eadwearda Muybridgea.
Cestovatel a průkopník kinematografie, nebo šílenec, tvrdohlavý experimentátor a vrah? Nejnovější komiks Guye Delislea je příběhem výjimečné osobnosti, kterou byl Eadweard Muybridge!
Doba zlaté horečky v Kalifornii znamenala velké peníze, riskantní rozhodnutí a odvážné sny. Tehdy Muybridge přijíždí do Ameriky a brzy se stává jedním z nejslavnějších fotografů své doby. S pomocí nejbohatšího muže Spojených států, Lelanda Stanforda, se mu podaří nevídaný kousek: zachytit na fotografický film průběh cválajícího koně. Tím se stává tím, kdo zastavil čas, a také prvním, kdo zobrazil film, dávno před Edisonem a bratry Lumierovými.
Přinášíme vám pohnutý životopis průkopníka kinematografie Eadwearda Muybridge a panorama doby, v níž žil. Guy Delisle, známý svými reportážními kreslenými filmy (mimo jiné Jeruzalémské kroniky, Barmské kroniky a Pchjongjang), se tentokrát vrací do minulosti a nahlíží do okamžiku, kdy byla vynalezena fotografie, otřásla se pozice malířství a začala kinematografie.
Než jsi mě našla
Záhadný původ Evie Cormacové na ní leží jako stín. Jako dítě ji našli schovanou v tajné místnosti, v níž byl dospělý muž umučen k smrti. Spousta jejích únosců a trýznitelů unikla spravedlnosti, ale i když zůstali nepotrestaní, nezapomněla na ně. Nyní se za horkého letního dne Evie vrací zpět do minulosti, když spatří, jak moře na pláž v Lincolnshiru vyplavilo sedmnáct těl nelegálních imigrantů. Přežil pouze jediný člověk, teenager, který policii prozradil, že do jejich malé lodi někdo schválně narazil a potopil ji. Několikanásobnou vraždu dostává na starosti psycholog Cyrus Haven, který s policií dlouhodobě spolupracuje. Brzy je mu jasné, že Evie je s celou tragédií nějak propojená. Je přesvědčen, že pokud vyřeší tento případ, konečně se mu podaří odhalit tajemství Evieiny minulosti…

Before there was Selene, there was Roxilana. Her love fated, her life doomed, and her story forgotten – until now.
When Roxilana hears a voice inside her head, she believes she’s gone mad. This voice, Memnon, claims he is her god-touched soul mate, one who has the ability to wield magic. Not only that, but he believes Roxilana possesses magic, too.
Wild though his claims are, Roxilana realises Memnon speaks the truth. First, her power Awakens. Then, Memnon, King of the Sarmatians, shows up at her door in Rome, proclaims her as his wife, and takes her to his homeland.
Roxilana’s fate is everything she hoped for. But there are things Memnon didn’t tell her – about his magic, life as a Sarmatian, and what she, as queen, will have to endure. And as she soon learns, nothing is as dangerous as love and power. While the combination can build empires and legacies, it is capable of destroying everything and everyone in its path. And if Roxilana and Memnon are not careful, it could destroy them along with it.

Wind/ Pinball
Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are Haruki Murakami's two first novel - here they are together in one edition.
Now I think it's time to tell my story.
Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are Haruki Murakami's two first novels. Home from college on his summer break, the narrator spends his time drinking beer and smoking with his friend nicknamed the Rat, listening to the radio, thinking about writing and pursuing a relationship with a girl with nine fingers. Three years later he has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls. But the Rat has remained behind. Haunted by memories of the past, the narrator embarks upon a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he and the Rat had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.
'Quintessential Murakami…an excellent introduction to a writer who has since become one of the most influential novelists of his generation' Guardian

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece: a sci-fi pastiche and a Utopian fantasy novel ingeniously woven together.
A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan. Unicorn skulls and voracious librarians. John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story, post-modern manifesto. All this rolled into one rip-roaring novel, End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following.
Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.
'A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney
'His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind' Guardian

Engagement
A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time
‘I want to have him, I really do. I just don’t want him to have me.’
Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.
Engagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world’s future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.
