Streetwise
From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence.
When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places.
Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes.
A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.
Sir Lewis
The definitive biography of the greatest Formula One driver of all time, now including an exclusive chapter on the 2025 season. ‘Timeless, illuminating and necessary’ – Mirin Fader, author of the New York Times bestsellers Giannis and DreamAt the pinnacle of motorsports, a humble young man from Stevenage has risen to become the greatest Formula One driver of all time. Lewis Hamilton’s journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion is evidently the stuff of modern legend. Michael Sawyer follows Hamilton’s path and we witness Hamilton’s single-minded determination to reach the top along the way, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits – equalling the records held by the legendary Michael Schumacher – Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability and diversity, inspiring the next generation by not only encouraging them to pursue their own dreams but by also extending his legacy and impact beyond the track. As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this electrifying book by acclaimed professor of African American Literature and Culture, and lifelong Formula One fan, Michael Sawyer, examines his lasting legacy. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton’s potential final act – chasing a record-setting eighth world title at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari team – and shows how he continues to set new benchmarks for greatness.

A tenger asszonyai
„Minden nő, aki a tengerbe merül, koporsót cipel a hátán…
Itt, a víz alatti világban nehéz élet terhét hordozzuk.
Nap mint nap élet és halál között egyensúlyozunk.”
A dél-koreai Csedzsu-sziget komor sziklái között élnek a henjo asszonyok – bátor nők, akik egy lélegzettel merülnek a jeges tenger mélyére, hogy kagylót és algát hozzanak a felszínre. Közülük való Jongszuk és Midzsa, akik gyermekkoruktól elválaszthatatlanok.
Egyikük a búvárkollektíva vezetőjének a lánya, a másik egy kollaboráns elárvult gyermeke. Amikor Midzsa elveszíti a szüleit, Jongszuk családja befogadja, és a lányok szinte testvérekként nőnek fel. Japán árnyéka és a diktatúra azonban átformálja a sziget életét, és a történelem sodrása kegyetlenül próbára teszi a két nő barátságát is.
A tenger asszonyai évtizedeken átívelő történet, mely a japán megszállás időszakától a második világháborún és a koreai háborún át egészen napjainkig kíséri el a szereplőket. Lisa See érzékeny, elsöprő erejű regénye a női barátság, a túlélés és az emberi lélek mélységeinek megrázó története – egy világé, ahol a tenger egyszerre az élet forrása és a veszteségek tanúja.
Ódon könyvek visszhangja
Az antikvárius Ashlyn Greer könyvimádata túlmutat a régi papír, nyomdafesték és bőr mámorító illatán.
Képes érezni és értelmezni a könyvek előző tulajdonosának érzelmi ujjlenyomatát, amit ,,a visszhang"-nak hív. Amikor talál két gyönyörűen bekötött, összeillő könyvet, amelyek soha nem kerültek a nyilvánosság elé, Ashlyn képessége gyorsan rögeszmévé válik.
Mindkét könyv ajánlásából meghökkentő vád olvasható ki, szerzőik, Hemi és Belle pedig ellentmondásosan mesélik el ugyanazt a tragikus szerelmi történetet.
Miközben Ashlyn e könyvek keletkezésének nyomát kutatja, egy több évtizedes irodalmi rejtély részesévé válik.
A két megtört szív a könyv lapjairól szólítja, bárkik is ők, bárhol vannak is. Eltökéli, hogy megtudja az elátkozott szerelmesek története mögött rejlő igazságot, ezért a megszegett ígéretek és látszólag
megbocsáthatatlan árulások nyomában beleveti magát a könyvekbe.
Minél többet tud meg Ashlyn Hemiről és Belle-ről, annál közelebb jut a történetük - csakúgy, mint a saját élete - félbehagyott fejezeteinek befejezéséhez.
Batman: Három Joker
Egy újabb kegyetlen bűncselekmény után Batman bizonyosságot szerez arról, amit már régóta sejtett: a pszichopata bűnöző, akit egész életében üldözött, nem egyetlen személy. Több Joker létezik. A bizonyíték megvan, Bruce immár válaszokat keres. Barbara Gordonnal (Batgirl) és Jason Toddal (Vörös Sisak), Joker két korábbi áldozatával szövetkezve a Sötét Lovag végre jó úton halad, hogy egyszer és mindenkorra leszámoljon a bűn bohóchercegével, akárhány is legyen belőle. De vajon nem pont ez volt a Jokerek szándéka is?
Geoff Johns és Jason Fabok képregénye az elmúlt évek egyik legnagyobb sikere, ami nem kisebb vállalást tűzött ki maga elé, mint újraértelmezni Joker mítoszát és megfogalmazni, miért is vívja örök harcát Batman ellen.
A kötet a teljes háromrészes Batman: Three Jokers minisorozatot tartalmazza.
Velký zlý lišák
Velký zlý lišák není ani velký ani zlý a má navíc neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Každý jeho pokus chovat se jako krutá šelma končí nějakou nehodou nebo neúspěchem, takže je pro smích celému okolí – především slepicím. Naštěstí je tu jeho samozvaný mentor vlk. Frustrovaný a hladový lišák, přežívající jen na tuřínové dietě, se nechá přemluvit ke geniálnímu plánu, jak slepice přelstít – ukrást jim vejce, vysedět je a vykrmená kuřátka si dát k obědu. Jenže to, co v teorii zní jednoduše, se v praxi ukáže jako velká komplikace a v komiksu Benjamina Rennera také jako nesmírně vtipné dobrodružství!
Velký zlý lišák (Le grand méchant renard), jeden z nejpopulárnějších francouzských komiksů nejen pro dětské publikum, byl vydán v roce 2015. Od svého vzniku získal řadu ocenění – Prix de la BD Fnac, Grand Prix des Lecteurs časopisu Le Journal de Mickey, Prix Jeunesse d’Angoul?me za nejlepší dětskou knihu.
Filmová adaptace pod názvem Velký zlý lišák a jiné příběhy (2017) navíc obdržela cenu César – francouzskou obdobu Oscara – za nejlepší animovaný film roku.
Suspicion
Onizuka Kumako is a fierce woman: tall, beautiful, and not afraid to speak her mind. In Tokyo bars, she seduces customers and commits petty crime, using her connections to the local yakuza to get by. When she meets Shirakawa Fukutaro, a rich widower desperate for companionship and unaware of her shady past, the two hit it off and are soon married. But their newlywed bliss is suddenly cut short: one rainy July evening, their car veers off course, plunges into the harbour and Fukutaro is pulled beneath the waves.
Suspected of murder and labelled a femme fatale, Kumako is hounded by the press, but stays firm, repeatedly proclaiming her own innocence. As pressure from dogged journalists mounts, the tide of public opinion is rising against her. But when a scrupulous defence lawyer takes on her case, doubt begins to creep in . . .
In this intricate, psychological noir, masterfully translated into English for the first time, Seicho Matsumoto draws out the hidden demons that guide our convictions, our biases and our deepest desires.
Ekonomické instinkty
Myslíte si, že se při rozhodování o penězích chováte racionálně? Pak vás tahle kniha nejspíš překvapí. Většinu finančních rozhodnutí totiž neřídí chladný rozum, ale emoce, intuice a nenápadné myšlenkové zkratky, o nichž často nemáme ani tušení. Právě proto kupujeme věci, které jsme vůbec nechtěli, držíme se špatných investic, opakujeme stále stejné chyby a děláme pracovní rozhodnutí, která nám zpětně připadají nepochopitelná.
Tato kniha vás provede zákulisím lidského uvažování v ekonomickém světě. Srozumitelně a na konkrétních příkladech ukazuje, jak naše mysl funguje při utrácení, spoření, investování i volbě práce a kariéry. Odhaluje, proč má forma sdělení často větší sílu než samotná fakta, jak snadno podléháme tlaku okolí, momentální náladě nebo falešným autoritám – a proč nás to stojí peníze, čas i energii.
Nečekejte učebnici ekonomie ani zaručený recept na zbohatnutí. Tahle kniha vám nabídne něco cennějšího: schopnost rozpoznat vlastní slepá místa a vyhnout se nejčastějším pastem finančního rozhodování. Pomůže vám dělat méně špatných rozhodnutí – a to je v ekonomice i v práci víc, než se může zdát.
Kings of Sin 5-book Boxset
King of Wrath:
The billionaire CEO never planned to marry - until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.
King of Pride:
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified. With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
King of Greed:
He has everything - a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and more money than he could spend in a lifetime. But no matter how much he accumulates, he's never satisfied. In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough. It isn't until she's gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory.
King of Sloth:
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist. Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future.
King of Envy:
Vuk Markovic is notorious for shunning human interactions. The scarred billionaire rarely talks, and he has no interest in relationships outside his small but trusted circle. His only exception? Her. The beauty to his beast, the object of his obsession. He saw her first. He wanted her first. But now, she's engaged to his oldest friend.

Nestárnoucí příběh: Svatý Jan Bosco
Kněz Jan Bosco (1815–1888) působil v Turíně v politicky napjaté době, kdy veřejnost nebyla církvi vůbec nakloněná. Navíc se začal zajímat o chudé chlapce ztracené v průmyslovém městě, což se tehdy od kleriků rozhodně nečekalo; mnohdy je doslova sbíral z ulice. Nejdřív s nimi trávil nedělní odpoledne, později pro ně zakládal domy, dílny a školy. Nevěnoval jim jen svůj čas, ale především sám sebe. Když
umíral, jeho salesiáni už působili nejen po celé Itálii i jinde v Evropě, ale také v daleké Jižní Americe. Dnes najdeme jejich komunity v téměř 140 zemích světa včetně několika míst v České republice.

Howl
A tragicomic portrait of one man's unravelling in an absurd, twisted world, Howl is the propulsive new novel from Booker-Prize winner Howard Jacobson.
In the aftermath of October 7, Ferdinand Draxler walks the streets of London in despair. Everything has changed the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was.
Is he at the crossroads of history or is it just a bend in the cul-de-sac of his own gloomy nature?
The son of a Holocaust survivor who accuses him of cowardice and the father of a daughter who sees him as complicit in genocide, Draxler fixates on bad news. He shouts at the television. He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti.
The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.
His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'
Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon
Adored by readers, the million-copy Japanese magical realist mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD.
If you could meet any dead person of your choosing for one night, who would it be?
When Hirase, a young woman from Tokyo arranges an appointment with The Go-Between, she doesn't expect a teenager to show up. Dressed preppy-style in a duffel coat and carrying a notebook, he communicates with the dead - at least, this is what Hirase has pieced together from the Internet - offering them a chance to travel back into the real world.
He quickly lays down some ground-rules: you are allowed only one meeting with the dead, for a single night; the dead person must not have been called back by anyone else before, plus they have the right to refuse. Lastly, the service is entirely free.
Four more characters will enlist the Go-Between for an emotional encounter with the dead.
What is the mystery behind this smart young man with the notebook and why does he insist on meeting in, of all places, a freezing cold hospital carpark?
Utterly unique and soul-stirring, THE GO-BETWEEN explores the wonder of life, the magic of the ordinary and the importance of friendship and always making amends, from Japan's best-loved magical realist mystery author.
