Wherever You Go, There You Are
THE TIME-HONOURED INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, UPDATED AND WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION AND AFTERWORD, CELEBRATING THIRTY YEARS OF INFLUENCING THE WAY WE LIVE
For the past three decades, Wherever You Go, There You Are has helped catalyse the explosion of interest in mindfulness around the world. While mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation, its essence is universal and of deep practical benefit, potentially to all.
In essence, mindfulness is about embodied wakefulness. Our minds are such that we are often more asleep than awake to the unique beauty and possibilities of each present moment. While it is in the nature of all our minds to default to autopilot and lose touch with the only time we actually have to live - to feel, to grow, to love, to learn, to give shape to things, to heal - our mind also holds the innate capacity to awaken to each moment.
This book gives you a variety of ways to experiment with not missing your moments and take maximal advantage of them by tending what most needs tending to now. Given the myriad mega-challenges humanity and planet Earth are facing at this time, Wherever You Go, There You Are can provide both a personal refuge for meaning - making, healing and transformation, as well as a locus for collaborating with others to heal the suffering of the world.
Regarding the Pain of Others
Regarding the Pain of Others is Susan Sontag's searing analysis of our numbed response to images of horror.
What is the purpose of images of pain and suffering? Can there be any real justification for the creation, and consumption, of such images?
In this seminal volume, Susan Sontag examines the uses and meanings of images, from inspiring dissent to fostering violence to creating apathy. And through this lens she considers the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.

Lacná kniha The End of the Affair (-25%)
"A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses a moment of experience from which to look ahead..." "This is a record of hate far more than of love," writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of The End of the Affair, and it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous affair with Sarah Miles. Now, a year after Sarah's death, Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of his passion by retracing its course from obsessive love to love-hate. At first, he believes he hates Sarah and her husband, Henry. Yet as he delves further into his emotional outlook, Bendrix's hatred shifts to the God he feels has broken his life, but whose existence at last comes to recognize.
Originally published in 1951, The End of the Affair was acclaimed by William Faulkner as "for me one of the best, most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language." This Penguin Deluxe Edition features an introduction by Michael Gorra.

Propaganda
“Bernays’ honest and practical manual provides much insight into some of the most powerful and influential institutions of contemporary industrial state capitalist democracies.”—Noam Chomsky
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”—Edward Bernays
A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Orient Express
""The purser took the last landing-card in his hand and watched the passengers cross the wet quay, over a wilderness of rails and points, round the corners of abandoned trucks.""
As the Orient Express hurtles across Europe on its three-day journey from Ostend to Constantinople, its voyage binds together the lives of several of its passengers in a fateful interlock. The menagerie of characters includes Coral Musker, a beautiful chorus girl; Carleton Myatt, a rich Jewish businessman; Richard John, a mysterious and kind doctor returning to his native Belgrade; the spiteful journalist Mabel Warren; and Josef Grunlich, a cunning, murderous burglar.
What happens to these strangers as they put on and take off their masks of identity and passion, all the while confessing, prevaricating, and reaching out to one another in the "veracious air" of the onrushing train, makes for one of Graham Greene's most exciting and suspenseful stories. Originally published in 1933, Orient Express was Greene's first major success. This Penguin Deluxe Edition features an introduction by Christopher Hitchens.

I Married a Communist
The second novel of Roth's eloquent American trilogy, set in the tempestuous McCarthy era - a brilliant successor to American Pastoral
I Married a Communist charts the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, an American roughneck who begins life as a ditchdigger in 1930s New Jersey, becoming a big-time radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star - and as a zealous, bullying supporter of 'progressive' political causes - Ira marries Hollywood's beloved leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling expose that identifies Ira as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'.
In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and savage revenge, anti-Communist fever pollutes national politics and infects the relationships of ordinary Americans; friends become deadly enemies, parents and children tragically estranged, lovers blacklisted and felled from vertiginous heights.

Doors of Perception
WITH A FORWARD BY J. G. BALLARD. In 1953, in the presence of an investigator, Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gramme of mescalin, sat down and waited to see what would happen. When he opened his eyes everything, from the flowers in a vase to the creases in his trousers, was transformed. Huxley described his experience with breathtaking immediacy in The Doors of Perception. In its sequel Heaven and Hell, he goes on to explore the history and nature of mysticism. Still bristling with a sense of excitement and discovery, these illuminating and influential writings remain the most fascinating account of the visionary experience ever written.
Women Who Love Too Much
The phenomenally popular self-help book from bestselling author and leader in the field of relationship counselling, Robin Norwood.
THE INTERNATIONAL NO.1 BESTSELLER HELPING MILLIONS OF WOMEN FIND HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS
Is your relationship the most important thing in your life? Are you constantly thinking and talking about your partner, or finding excuses for their bad behaviour?
If you have ever found yourself obsessing over an undeserving partner, this book was written for you. Many women are repeatedly drawn into unhappy and destructive relationships, and then struggle to make these doomed relationships work. In this bestselling psychology book, leading relationship and marriage therapist Robin Norwood reveals why we get into unhealthy relationships and how powerfully addictive they are - and shares her effective framework for finding and sustaining love.
Sense and Sensibility
Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique wit. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction by Ros Ballaster, University of Oxford
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition.
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was extremely modest about her own genius but has become one of English literature's most famous women writers. Austen began writing at a young age, embarking on what is possibly her best-known work, Pride and Prejudice, at the age of 22. She was the author of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey.

Lacná kniha Ottův slovník naučný XIV. Kartel - Kraj (-25%)
Ottův slovník naučný (přezdívaný Oťas), také Ottova encyklopedie, je největší tištěná česká encyklopedie (konverzační lexikon) všech dob z let 1888-1909. V nedávné době ji v počtu hesel česky psaných encyklopedií překonala česká verze internetové encyklopedie Wikipedie. Ještě dnes je Ottův slovník naučný dobrým zdrojem informací, zejména o historických faktech. Derek Sayer ve své knize[1] říká: "Ottův slovník naučný zůstává skvělou příručkou, nepřekonanou ničím, co (v Čechách) od té doby vyšlo. Ve své době to byla jedna z nejlepších encyklopedií na světě, snad druhá co do počtu hesel a ilustrací za Encyclop?dií Britannicou." (strana 96) Slovník je velmi podrobný, hesla delší než sto stran nejsou výjimkou a hesla o několika desítkách stran jsou běžná. Pod názvem Ottův slovník naučný vyšlo v letech 1888-1909 27 řádných svazků a jeden svazek doplňkový. Dle různých odhadů svazky obsahují 140 000 až 186 000 hesel na 27 789 stranách s 4 888 ilustracemi a 479 zvláštními přílohami. Redakce slovníku se skládala z 56 lidí a tvorby se účastnilo dalších 1 086 odborníků

Kniha historika a publicisty Emanuela Mandlera je vůbec první publikací, která pojednává o Václavu Havlovi a Václavu Klausovi z hlediska jejich funkce. O obou hovoří nikoli z intimního, nýbrž z kriticky politického hlediska: čím přispěli (a naopak čím nepřispěli) naší mladé demokracii, jaký měla a má jejich činnost vnitropolitický význam i co znamená pro vztah České republiky k zahraničí.

Čas však nejenže tuto sbírku — která se v polovině šedesátých let stala na zdejší literární scéně naprostým zjevením — nepřipravil o nic z její magické, imaginární, hypnotizující atmosféry, ale naopak jí umožnil dozrát podobně, jako dozrává to nejlepší archivní víno. Inovované vydání s autorovým doslovem.
