Magyarország
Immár több mint ezer esztendő telt el azóta, hogy a magyarok Ázsiából érkezett új, harcos népe a legendás Árpád fejedelem vezetésével megtelepedett a Duna völgyében. Történelmét a későbbiekben is olyan nagyszabású személyiségek alakították, mint az államalapító I. István, a szent király vagy Hunyadi Mátyás, akinek uralkodása alatt a fénykorát élő Magyarországon otthonra lelt az olasz reneszánsz művészete. A XVI. sz. közepétől a XVII. sz. végéig tartó török uralmat Habsburg-elnyomás váltotta föl, ami 1918-ig, az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia felbomlásáig tartott. Magyarország súlyos árat fizetett szabadságáért. A II. világháború után a szovjet érdekszférába került, ahonnan csak 1990-ben szabadult, s lett végre demokratikus köztársaság. A jelennel immár békés harmóniában élő múlt jeleit Európa egyik legelragadóbb városában, a római korig visszanyúló történelmi emlékekben, műkincsekben gazdag Duna menti Budapesten éppúgy föllelhetjük, mint a többi ősi városban, Esztergomban és Győrben, Egerben és Sopronban, vagy a magasba törő bencés apátságban, Pannonhalmán.A néphagyományokban gazdag ország varázsát csodálatos tájak teljesítik ki: a festői Dunakanyar, a puszta, amelynek végeláthatatlan zöldjét legelésző juhnyájak tarkítják, s a szőlőkkel övezett Balaton, a "magyar tenger" ezüstösen csillogó tükörsima víztükre.

The Master and Margarita
This book is with an introduction by Will Self. The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devil's onslaught.
Howl and Other Poems
The landmark, original publication of Allen Ginsberg's HOWL & Other Poems!
HOWL & Other Poems, the prophetic book that launched the Beat Generation, was published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti at City Lights Books in 1956. Considered the single most influential work of post-WWII United States poetry, the City Lights edition of HOWL has remained in print for more than 60 years, with well over 1,000,000 copies in print.
A strident critique of middle-class complacency, consumerism, and capitalist militarism, HOWL also celebrates the pleasures and freedoms of the physical world, including a tribute to homosexual love. In addition to "Howl," poems in the book include: "A Supermarket in California," "Sunflower Sutra," "America," "In the Baggage Room at Greyhound," "Transcription of Organ Music," and "Wild Orphan," among others.
A History of HOWL:
City Lights founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti first heard Allen Ginsberg read "Howl" at the Six Gallery event in San Francisco, 1955, which featured writers Philip Lamantia, Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen, and Michael McClure, introduced by poet Kenneth Rexroth. Jack Kerouac was present, but did not read, encouraging and cheering the other poets on. Ferlinghetti was so impressed by Ginsberg's performance, he immediately telegrammed him, referencing Ralph Waldo Emerson's response to Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, "I greet you at the beginning of a great career. When do I get the manuscript?"
When the first edition of HOWL arrived from its British printers, it was seized almost immediately by U.S. Customs, and shortly thereafter the San Francisco police arrested its publisher and editor, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, together with the City Lights Bookstore manager, Shigeyoshi Murao. The two were charged with disseminating obscene literature, and the case was sent to trial. Ferlinghetti partnered with the ACLU to launch a defense of HOWL, and a parade of distinguished literary and academic witnesses appeared in court to persuade the judge of its merits. In the end, famously conservative Judge Clayton Horn ruled that the poem was not obscene, but rather, as he stated emphatically, HOWL was a work of "redeeming social significance."
The landmark decision signaled a sea change in American culture, and the City Lights edition of HOWL became a vital cornerstone in the ongoing struggle for free expression and representation. It continues to attract generation after generation of readers.
Co se děje, když se modlím?
Co vlastně děláme, když se modlíme? Ke komu se máme modlit? Jaký je duchovní užitek z modlitby? A co modlitby, které nebyly vyslyšeny? Proč se modlit, když náš svět funguje podle přírodních zákonů? Na tyto a další podobné otázky velmi užitečně odpovídají dvě z velkých postav křesťanské historie - puritán Thomas Goodwin a americký kazatel předminulého století Benjamin Palmer.
Cesta napříč městem
Povídky z období normalizace od předního českého filmového scenáristy jsou plné příběhů lásky a zloby. Drsná skutečnost pochmurných dob se v nich mísí s fantazií spisovatele obdařeného darem pozorování , schopností humorného nadhledu i neotřelým, krásným jazykem.
Shantaram
In 1978, gifted student and writer Greg Roberts turned to heroin when his marriage collapsed, feeding his addiction with a string of robberies. Caught and convicted, he was given a nineteen-year sentence. After two years, he escaped from a maximum- security prison, spending the next ten years on the run as Australia's most wanted man. Hiding in Bombay, he established a medical clinic for slum- dwellers, worked in the Bollywood film industry and served time in the notorious Arthur Road prison. He was recruited by one of the most charismatic branches of the Bombay mafia for whom he worked as a forger, counterfeiter, and smuggler, and fought alongside a unit of mujaheddin guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. His debut novel, SHANTARAM, is based on this ten-year period of his life in Bombay. The result is an epic tale of slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison torture, mafia gang wars and Bollywood films. A gripping adventure story, SHANTARAM is also a superbly written meditation on good and evil and an authentic evocation of Bombay life.

Norwegian Wood
When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki.

Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche
On Monday 20 March 1995 the Japanese Aum cult released a deadly cloud of Sarin nerve gas into the Tokyo underground. 12 people were killed and an estimated 3,800 suffered serious after-effects. Haruki Murakami, one of Japan's leading novelists (considered by many to be one of the most important writers now writing), was both shocked and fascinated by the awful event. Murakami's response was to interview as many of those affected as he could (only 60 victims were willing to be questioned), interested as he was in the stories created by this one awful event on so many lives. He also interviewed a number of members of the Aum cult: I'm sure each member of the Science and Technology elite had his own personal reasons for renouncing the world and joining Aum. What they all had in common, though, was a desire to put the technical skill and knowledge they'd acquired in the service of a more meaningful goal ... that might very well be me. It might be you". The result is Underground his first work of non-fiction. Murakami writes complex, sometimes overbearing and dense novels but he here makes very little intervention into his text, simply presenting a background sketch of each before allowing the victims and cult-members to speak freely for themselves through the transcripts. They present an intricate, rounded and cinematic view of day that none of us should ever forget"
Má krásná Lily
Jmenovala se Lillie Langtry. Její portrét pod názvem The Jersey Lily ji proslavil po celé Anglii. Byla metresou syna královny Viktorie, pozdějšího krále Eduarda VII., milenkou výstředních milionářů, přítelkyní Oskara Wilda i Sarah Bernhardtové. Později se z ní stala herečka, která ve světě sklízela obrovské úspěchy, spíše však kvůli svým skandálům než pro svůj talent. Portrétovali ji malíři, fotografové, kdekdo ji napodoboval i kritizoval, skládali na ni básně, dokonce na její počest bylo přejmenováno jedno americké město. Luxus a dramatické zvraty – to je životní příběh oslňující hrdinky tohoto románu.

Chíramov kľúč
Sú zvitky, ukryté Ježišovo tajné učenie, ukryté v Škótsku? Boli zvitky obsahujúce Ježišovo tajné učenie zakopané pod Herodesov chrám, aby ich v 12. storočí vykopali templári, predchodcovia moderných slobodomurárov a prijali ich rituály? Boli neskôr tieto zvitky znova zakopané pod presnú rekonštrukciu Herodesovho chrámu na vrchole škótskeho kopca, kde teraz čakajú, kým ich opäť objavia?

Devil Wears Prada
A sharp, witty and hugely entertaining debut novel, The Devil Wears Prada is The Nanny Diaries set in the world of high fashion. Welcome to the dollouse, baby! When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She's never heard of the world's most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she's going to be Miranda's assistant, a job millions of girls would die for. A year later, she knows altogether too much: That it's a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work. But that there's always a fresh pair of Manolos for you in the accessories cupboard. That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a life-time supply on hand at all times. That eight stone is fat. That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda's coffee get cold. And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend's dumping you because you're always at work, and your best friend's just been arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Ville look like a fluffy bunny. But also that this is her big break, and it's going to be worth it in the end. Isn't it?

Uznávaná a slávna nórska herečka píše o sláve, o uznaní, aj o tom, ako ju v rôznych končinách sveta zasýpali poctami a kvetmi, aby napokon večer zostala v prepychovom apartmáne hotela sama. Sama so sebou, s myšlienkami, smútkom, túžbami, pocitmi ženy, v ktorej stále žije dievčatko, placho sa dotýkajúce vecí sveta a intenzívne vnímajúce jeho dotyky.
