Wash This Blood Clean From My Hand
Between 1943 and 2003 nine people have been stabbed to death with a most unusual weapon: a trident. In each case, arrests were made, suspects confessed their crimes and were sentenced to life in prison. One slightly worrying detail: each presumed murderer lost consciousness during the night of the crime and has no recollection of it.
Commissaire Adamsberg is convinced all the murders are the work of one person, the terrifying Judge Fulgence. Years before, Adamsberg's own brother had been the principal suspect in a similar case and avoided prison only thanks to Adamsberg's help.
History repeats itself when Adamsberg, who is temporarily based in Quebec for a training mission, is accused of having savagely murdered a young woman he had met. In order to prove his innocence, Adamsberg must go on the run from the Canadian police and find Judge Fulgence.
Winner of the 2007 Duncan Lawrie International Dagger for The Three Evangelists.

Lacná kniha Dune (šp.) (-70%)
This Hugo and Nebula Award winner tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar empire. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the spice of spices". Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and also grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the basis of the army with which he will reclaim what's rightfully his. Paul Atreides, though, is far more than just a usurped duke. He might be the end product of a very long-term genetic experiment designed to breed a superhuman--he might be a messiah. His struggle is at the centre of a nexus of powerful people and events, and the repercussions will be felt throughout the Imperium. Dune is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and deservedly so. The setting is elaborate and ornate, the plot labyrinthine and the adventures exciting. Five sequels follow.

Lacná kniha Caballero Del Jubon Amarillo (-50%)
En esta quinta entrega de «Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste» Diego Alatriste e Ínigo Balboa se enfrentarán entre estocadas e intrigas palaciegas a una conspiración en la corte de Felipe IV.
El caballero del Jubón amarillo se desarrolla en el mundo de los corrales de comedias del Madrid del siglo XVII. En esta ocasión Diego Alatriste volverá a cruzarse con viejos amigos y viejos enemigos, y con los personajes famosos de la época como Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca y el capitán Alonso Contreras.
Lances, estocadas, intrigas palaciegas y aventuras
amorosas salpican un relato de acción trepidante.
«Don Francisco de Quevedo me dirigió una mirada que interpreté como era debido, pues fui detrás del capitán Alatriste. Avísame si hay problemas, habían dicho sus ojos tras los lentes quevedescos. Dos aceros hacen más papel que uno. Y así, consciente de mi responsabilidad, acomodé la daga de misericordia que llevaba atravesada al cinto y fui en pos de mi amo, discreto como un ratón, confiando en que esta vez pudiéramos terminar la comedia sin estocadas y en paz, pues habría sido bellaca afrenta estropearle el estreno a Tirso de Molina. Yo estaba lejos de imaginar hasta qué punto la bellísima actriz María de Castro iba a complicar mi vida y la del capitán, poniéndonos a ambos en gravísimo peligro; por no hablar de la corona del rey Felipe IV, que esos días anduvo literalmente al filo de una espada. Todo lo cual me propongo contar en esta nueva aventura, probando así que no hay locura a la que el hombre no llegue, abismo al que no se asome, y lance que el diablo no aproveche cuando hay mujer hermosa de por medio.»

To Jerusalem and Back - A Personal Account

Through meditations steeped in history and literature he adds his own reflections on being Jewish in the twentieth century. Bellow's exploration of a beautiful and troubled city is a powerful testament to the unique spirit and challenges of Israel, its history and its future.

Lacná kniha Chien Jaune (-90%)
Xan Méo, artiste polyvalent, peut tre content de sa vie : le succs, une vie privée comblée entre sa femme Russia et ses deux fillettes. Le soir de ses quarante-sept ans, alors qu’il célbre seul son anniversaire dans son pub favori, il se fait bastonner jusqu’ en perdre connaissance. Lorsqu’il reprend conscience, il n’est plus le mme homme : sous le coup d’un traumatisme cérébral, il se met regarder les femmes comme de la chair fraîche. Mme sa petite fille de quatre ans lui paraît bien coquine… En pleine déroute familiale et psychologique, Xan décide de mener l’enqute pour retrouver son agresseur. Sur son chemin, il ne va pas tarder croiser des personnages tout aussi déjantés : Clint Smoker, « journaliste » de la presse scandale la plus abjecte, complexé par ses pitres performances sexuelles ; une famille royale peine imaginaire menacée par des révélations compromettantes ; un cad britannique exilé en Californie et sa nice, égérie du porno, et des dizaines de personnages secondaires particulirement pittoresques, comme ce SDF qui vit chez sa mre. Au fur et mesure que les pistes convergent, les héros réalisent qu’ils sont tous pris dans une mme conspiration… En détournant les codes du roman noir (suspens, révélation, fausse piste), Martin Amis dresse un tableau haut en couleurs de l’Angleterre de la fin des années 1990 et, travers elle, des maux du monde moderne : éclatement des barrires entre vie publique et vie privée, exhibitionnisme médiatique, violence… Tout cela avec un humour ravageur servi par un style époustouflant, qui fait de Chien Jaune un livre hilarant, caustique, qui gratte l o cela démange. --Ce texte fait référence l'édition Broché .
