Sword of Honour
Fictionalising his experience of service during the Second World War, Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour is the complete one-volume edition of his masterful trilogy, edited with an introduction by Angus Calder in Penguin Modern Classics.
Waugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia, he discovers not heroism, but humanity. Sword of Honour combines three volumes: Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional Surrender, which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.

The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
Few writers have expressed loneliness, the need for human understanding and the search for love with such power and poetic sensibility as the American writer Carson McCullers, and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe collects her best-loved novella together with six short stories, published in Penguin Modern Classics. Miss Amelia Evans, tall, strong and nobody's fool, runs a small-town store. Except for a disastrous marriage that lasted just ten days, she has always lived alone. Then Cousin Lymon appears from nowhere, a strutting hunchback who steals Miss Amelia's heart. Together they transform the store into a lively, popular cafe where the locals come to drink and gossip. But when her rejected and dangerous ex-husband Marvin Macy returns, the result is a bizarre love triangle that brings with it violence, hatred and betrayal. Among other fine works, the collection also includes 'Wunderkind', McCullers's first published story written when she was only seventeen, about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist. Carson McCullers (1917-1967) was the critically acclaimed author of several popular novels in the 1940s and '50s, including The Member of the Wedding (1946), adapted for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Her novels frequently depicted life in small towns of the southeastern United States and were marked by themes of loneliness and spiritual isolation. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968, starring Alan Arkin) and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1991, starring Vanessa Redgrave). If you enjoyed The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, you might like McCullers' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

Story of the Eye
A masterpiece of transgressive, surrealist erotica, George Bataille's Story of the Eye was the Fifty Shades of Grey of its era. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated by Joachim Neugroschal, and published with essays by Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes.
Bataille's first novel, published under the pseudonym 'Lord Auch', is still his most notorious work. In this explicit pornographic fantasy, the young male narrator and his lovers Simone and Marcelle embark on a sexual quest involving sadism, torture, orgies, madness and defilement, culminating in a final act of transgression. Shocking and sacrilegious, Story of the Eye is the fullest expression of Bataille's obsession with the closeness of sex, violence and death. Yet it is also hallucinogenic in its power, and is one of the erotic classics of the twentieth century.
This edition also includes Susan Sontag's superb study of pornography as art, 'The Pornographic Imagination', as well as Roland Barthes' essay 'The Metaphor of the Eye'.
Georges Bataille (1897-1962), French essayist and novelist, was born in Billom, France. He converted to Catholicism, then later to Marxism, and was interested in psychoanalysis and mysticism, forming a secret society dedicated to glorifying human sacrifice. Leading a simple life as the curator of a municipal library, Bataille was involved on the fringes of Surrealism, founding the Surrealist magazine Documents in 1929, and editing the literary review Critique from 1946 until his death. Among his other works are the novels Blue of Noon (1957) and My Mother (1966), and the essays Eroticism (1957) and Literature and Evil (1957).

Fašizmus a komunizmus
Jedná se o originální esej sdružující osm dopisů, které si v letech 1996 až 1997 vyměnili Francouz Francois Furet a Němec Ernst Nolte jako reakci na vydání knihy Minulost jedné iluze.

Mother Reader
The intersection of motherhood and creative life is explored in these writings on mothering that turn the spotlight from the child to the mother herself. Here, in memoirs, testimonials, diaries, essays, and fiction, mothers describe first-hand the changes brought to their lives by pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering.
Many of the writers articulate difficult and socially unsanctioned maternal anger and ambivalence. In Mother Reader, motherhood is scrutinized for all its painful and illuminating subtleties, and addressed with unconventional wisdom and candor. What emerges is a sense of a community of writers speaking to and about each other out of a common experience, and a compilation of extraordinary literature never before assembled in a single volume.
Manga Mania - How to Draw Japanese Comics
A guide to drawing Manga-style comic book art. As Manga style stresses character rather than anatomy, Manga comics are easier to draw. This manual explains how to draw fantasy robots, diabolical monsters, mythical animals and other characters that are part of this Japanese genre. The author covers both the young and more mature styles of Manga art and includes artwork from some of the top-rated Manga artists working in this field.
In Praise of Shadows
An intimate reflection on Japanese art and architecture from one of the country's greatest novelists.
This is an enchanting essay on aesthetics by one of the greatest Japanese novelists. Tanizaki's eye ranges over architecture, jade, food, toilets, and combines an acute sense of the use of space in buildings, as well as perfect descriptions of lacquerware under candlelight and women in the darkness of the house of pleasure. The result is a classic description of the collision between the shadows of traditional Japanese interiors and the dazzling light of the modern age.

Lacná kniha Kobalty (-70%)
Je až s podivem, že tato hravá a zároveň hluboce modrá knížka, či spíše šest modrých sešítků – písanek –, upadla v zapomenutí. Již před třiceti lety se totiž u nás objevil text, který nejenže nezestárnul, ale naopak lze s jistotou tvrdit, že jeho kvality dokážeme ocenit až dnes, kdy se nabízí srovnání s konečně dostupnou světovou literaturou. Jako by povaha dnešní doby přímo dychtila po textu tohoto typu, kdy vnější zábavná pestrost a hravost v sobě skrývá mnohovrstevnatost a hluboké poznání. Svérázný humor a přímo neuvěřitelná imaginace prostupují všechny roviny textu, od dětinsko–dadaistických jazykových hříček a nadšení pro bláznivé zkratky přes absurdní humor až po mrazivá podobenství podaná s nikterak zakrývaným černým humorem.Ilustroval Mikuláš Rachlík.

Lacná kniha Il Cavaliere e la Morte (-25%)
Mentre l'azione si dipana, mutandosi in un potente apologo, il Vice - il commissario di polizia protagonista di questo romanzo - tiene sempre nella mente l'incisione di Dürer intitolata Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo", che lo ha accompagnato sulle pareti di tante stanze, nelle sue peregrinazioni da un ufficio all'altro, come se in quell'immagine si celasse il segreto di ci che avviene intorno a lui. Solo che il mondo, ormai, sembra poter fare a meno del Diavolo. Forse perché "il Diavolo era talmente stanco da lasciar tutto agli uomini, che sapevano fare meglio di lui"."
