Alfa Romeo 916 GTV and Spider
Alfa Romeo 916 GTV and Spider traces the complete story of the Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider models produced between 1994 - 2005, commonly known to enthusiasts by the manufacturer's project code as the 916 series. The 916 models would always be controversial - they replaced the iconic Spider, the best-selling Alfa Romeo sports model of all time, and the brand-establishing Alfetta GTV. Sharing components and a platform with a humble Fiat hatchback, would the cars ever be considered 'real' Alfa Romeos? The cars were critically acclaimed, and, though they faced tough competition in the late 1990s from the likes of the Audi TT, they remained in production for over a decade.
Broken Dove
In the heart-pounding sequel to the Sunday Times bestselling dystopian romance Silver Elite, lines will be crossed, loyalties will be tested, and the fight for the Continent is only just beginning as Wren Darlington finds herself caught in the middle of two wars: one for the fate of her home and another for the fate of her heart. LINES WILL BE CROSSED. After blowing her cover as a double agent within Silver Elite and fleeing the Prime-controlled capital, Wren Darlington is finally safe behind allied lines. As her lover and former commander Cross Redden works to disrupt the Primes from inside their ranks, Wren turns her focus toward assisting the Uprising in overthrowing their rule once and for all. LOYALTIES WILL BE TESTED. But though she’s back among her own people, trust is hard-won and hidden agendas abound on the Mod base. And beyond those walls, Wren can’t help but worry that Cross is keeping secrets of his own. . . secrets that could jeopardise everything. Complicating matters even further is her shocking reunion with hotshot fighter pilot and undercover operative, Grayson Blake. Once her closest friend in Silver Elite, Gray seems to understand Wren on a level she never thought possible. AND THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CONTINENT IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING. With the war between Mods and Primes growing more brutal by the day, and with her own role in the conflict becoming more essential than ever, Wren must confront some gut-wrenching questions. Who is she fighting for . . . and who is she willing to lose?
The Move
New beginnings can be deadly...
Kate and Matt Crowther are finally moving out of London, in search of a better life for their young family. Trade Cottage seems to be the house of their dreams - and they immediately hit it off with the sellers, Rosemary and Paul Finch, who brought up their own family there.
When Kate and Matt move in, they're pleased to discover the Finches still very much in evidence: offering advice, introducing them to the local community, and becoming honorary grandparents to Will, 11, and Tilly, 9. But when the Finches take exception to Kate and Matt's renovations, relations with the neighbours sour, and Kate and Matt find themselves subjected to a vicious campaign of hate.
But Kate isn't giving up her dream home without a fight. And it turns out Trade Cottage has secrets of its own to reveal - secrets that may endanger the very family Kate has moved there to protect...

Krádež
Abdulrazak Gurnah nám ve svém nejnovějším románu, prvním od chvíle, kdy v roce 2021 získal Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, předkládá subtilní příběh o dospívání, vině, touze a hledání vlastní identity ve světě poznamenaném koloniální minulostí.
S empatií a vypravěčskou jistotou sleduje autor osudy tří hlavních postav, jejichž životy se protínají v prostředí, kde osobní rozhodnutí nikdy nejsou zcela oddělena od širších historických a společenských vlivů. Gurnah rozplétá jejich vztahy s trpělivostí a citem pro detail, přičemž postupně odhaluje skryté motivace, zklamání i naděje.
Krádež je zároveň intimním příběhem dospívání i široce pojatým obrazem postkoloniální reality - světa, v němž se minulost neustále vrací a ovlivňuje přítomnost. V závěru, plném napětí a katarze, se jednotlivé dějové linie propojují v překvapivé, a přitom nevyhnutelné rozuzlení.
Gurnahův román je výjimečný svou schopností probouzet porozumění: nenápadně, ale vytrvale nás vede k tomu, abychom méně soudili a více chápali - druhé i sami sebe.
Román Theft představuje návrat autora do rodné Tanzanie a navazuje na témata, která charakterizují jeho dosavadní tvorbu - otázku identity, vykořenění, sociální nerovnosti a vztahu mezi Afrikou a Evropou v globalizovaném světě.

Kniha TETRAÉDER 2077 je filozofická sci-fi výprava, ktorá ťa vtiahne do sveta, kde sa realita formuje myšlienkami, kde sa učí o rovnováhe medzi EQ a IQ a hovorí o ekonomike, ktorá odmeňuje prínos, nie hromadenie, a prináša vodcovstvo, ktoré vychádza z empatie, nie z ega.
Priprav sa na čítanie, ktoré ťa zmení!

Roger Fry
Roger Fry (1866–1934) and his role as critic, curator and member of the Bloomsbury Group are explored in this rich and vibrant biography.Roger Fry (1866–1934) and his role as critic, curator and member of the Bloomsbury Group are explored in this rich and vibrant biography. From his curation of one of the most important collections in New York and groundbreaking exhibitions in London, to his launch of the Omega Workshops with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Fry introduced post-impressionism, radicalized interiors and changed the landscape of 20th-century art. His introduction of Cézanne, Van Gogh and Matisse to the British audience played a significant role in a legacy that still inspires today. Often overlooked, Fry was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art in Britain, giving a generation of modern British artists their first exhibitions, while also creating art himself. Roger Fry: Bloomsbury and the Invention of Modern Art offers a compelling portrait of his extraordinary career and his pivotal role in redefining British art.

The magic of creativit? oe can’t know; all he wants to do is draw comics and listen to music.

And everything changes. Decades later Joe is a successful SF novelist, and the time has come to tell his story, not only of how he became a writer but also how the secrets of the dust were revealed to him, one grain at a time.

Vesmír není dominatrix
Poezie mikulovsko-brněnské básnířky Eli Hondl (nar. 1995) je světem protikladů. Její obraznost dokáže být lyrická a odkouzleně křehká, ale i naštvaně kritická a syrová. Na jedné straně tu „ze dna vraků prorůstají jako choroše / tlamy bílých běluh / písně tumorů samoty“, abychom se jen o chvíli později stali svědky mlčení i výkřiků, jež mají kořeny v hněvu stejně jako v sexu. Jednotlivými básněmi ve sbírce se pak jako jednotící linka táhne tělesnost; ta reflektuje jak tělo vlastní, tak i tělo společenské. A nakonec je tak do dvojí role postaven i jazyk samotný — prostředek, jak zúčtovat sama se sebou: „ideologický jazyk polykej pomalu / vyklovaná rána hnisá božskou / ale třetí oko máš příliš jasné“.
Bít o slam
Jeden z nejstarších žijících českých slamerů se vrací tam, kde vždy byl nejdoma: na scénu, na stránku, do slova. Člobrdan, vlastním jménem Jan Jícha, přináší sbírku, která je provokací, diagnózou i vyznáním lásky k jazyku zároveň. S břitkým humorem a ostrostí, jíž se nelze vyhnout, rozpitvává svět, v němž diktaturu pojebariátu nevystřídal řád ani rozum, nýbrž kapitán Korporán, botoxy a asociální sítě. Jícha je básník, který nesedí tiše. Stojí na jevišti a ptá se nahlas, zda má vůbec smysl bít o slam, když prostor kolem nás hlučí prázdnotou. Sbírka BÍT O SLAM je plná básní (které se čtou jako monology a hrají se jako představení), prokládaných relaxativními pauzami, jež jsou čímkoli, jen ne klidné. Od třídních schůzek přes evropské parlamentace až po zhasínající duše – Jícha nezůstává nic dlužen ani tématu, ani čtenáři, ani sobě. Tenhle muž psal, ještě než to bylo trendy, a píše dál, i když trendy dávno odešly jinam. Přijměte pozvání do světa, kde slovo ještě něco znamená – i když se o to musíte pořádně poprat.
Podpalubí
SEDMADVACET LET TICHA A CHLAPEC, KTERÝ BEZE STOPY ZMIZEL…
Ve výkopu leží ostatky zavražděného jedenáctiletého chlapce zabalené do černého pytle. Nadporučík písecké kriminálky Bohumil „Choroš“ Charvát a jeho spolupracovník, beznohý ukrajinský uprchlík Lev Bohdanovyč Koval, vědí, že najít vraha po více než čtvrtstoletí nebude snadné. Zvlášť když na místě, kde pachatel tělo pohřbil, od té doby nezůstal kámen na kameni.
Na přelomu tisíciletí to v místním hudebním klubu Paluba a přilehlém sportovním areálu Spartaku pulzovalo životem. Stovky lidí přicházely a odcházely, aniž by po sobě zanechaly stopu. Choroš se Lvem se musí vrátit zpět do minulosti a krok za krokem vypátrat, kdo z nich mohl mít důvod zabíje
t. Každá další otázka víří bahno a každá odpověď má v sobě kus špíny. Stojí za zločinem hlídač, který po hochově zmizení utekl do Německa? Nebo snad trenér s nepřiznanou zálibou v mladých chlapcích? Pokud Choroš se Lvem neodhalí pachatele včas, pravda se možná ztratí znovu. A už navždy…

The Muqaddimah
Volume one of the classic Islamic history of the world, now available to a new generation of readers in a fully unabridged editionWritten by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah, or “Introduction,” is the earliest critical study of history. Though intended as the preface and first book of a world history, it is a wholly self-contained work, one that laid the foundations for fields of knowledge ranging from the philosophy of history to sociology and ethnography and has influenced writers such as Frank Herbert, Bruce Chatwin, and Naguib Mahfouz. A three-volume English translation by the eminent Islamicist Franz Rosenthal was first published in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series, garnering immediate international acclaim. A one-volume abridged version followed in 1969. Now the complete unabridged edition of Rosenthal’s masterful translation is available again in three beautiful volumes, reintroducing this monumental study of history to twenty-first century audiences.
