Neon Gods - Alvilági szerelem
Úgy volt, hogy ő csak a mítoszokban létezik. De attól a pillanattól fogva, hogy átkeltem a sztüx folyón, teljesen megigézett...
Az ultramodern Olümposz elitjének üdvöskéje, Perszephoné Dimitriou azt tervezi, hogy megszökik, és új életet kezd valahol máshol, távol az Olümposzt uraló istenek, a tizenhármak tisztességtelen politikájának világától. Azért döntött így, mert anyja a tudtán kívül Zeusznak ígérte a kezét, aki a csillogó-villogó látszat mögött meghúzódó sötét világ veszélyes, teljhatalmú ura. Mivel nem marad más választása, Perszephoné a tiltott alsó városba menekül, ahol eladja a lelkét Hádésznak, akit korábban csak egy mitikus hősnek gondolt... a férfi pedig bevezeti egy olyan világba, amelynek létezéséről fogalma sem volt. Hádész mindig is az árnyékos oldalon élte az életét, és továbbra sem áll szándékában kilépni a fényre. Ám amikor rátalál Perszephonéra, ráeszmél, hogy ezzel lehetősége nyílik az évek óta tervezett bosszú végrehajtására. ennél több ürügyre nincs is szüksége ahhoz, hogy segítsen a lánynak -- aminek persze megkéri az árát. igen ám, de minden egyes szenvedélyes éjszakával, amelyet együtt töltenek, egyre jobban a szívébe zárja Perszephonét, és úgy dönt, készen áll akár az egész Olümposszal szembeszállni csak azért, hogy ne kelljen elválnia tőle...
Hádész és Perszephoné modern átdolgozása, amely édes, mint a bűn...
The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.
Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
American National Parks
Wide, breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear, blue lakes, high, snow-covered mountain peaks, but also wild grizzlies, buffalos, mustangs, and rare animal species: this is North America. With nearly 60 national parks, the United States is preserving a living monument to the continent's pristine nature in an effort to make it accessible to everyone. This book presents the most beautiful parks in over 450 photographs. Each has its own character and individual charm. Alaska, high in the northwest of the American continent, boasts spectacular wide expanses and immense geological variety such as the highest mountain of North America, the Denali. Continuing on the northern route from west to east, the high mountain regions of the Rocky Mountains overwhelm their visitors with countless blue glacier lakes and thundering waterfalls. Yellowstone, the oldest national park, is pure magic with dazzlingly colourful thermal springs, erupting geysers, and large herds of bison. Continuing on the southern route from west to east, the striking granitoid formations of Half Dome and El Capitan in the popular Yosemite National Park are impressive sights. Death Valley fascinates with contrasts of hot salt deserts and ice-cold, snowcapped peaks.
En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Lacná kniha Ako sa zo mňa takmer stal Američan (-70%)
Kniha je písaná na základe denníka, ktorý si autor knihy - Andrej Krcho - počas pobytu v Amerike písal. Je teda písaná jednoducho a vecne, no hlavne veľmi autenticky. To iste ocenia najmä tí, ktorí majú podobný výlet ešte len pred sebou. Môžu si to vďaka knižke najprv prežiť len tak "nanečisto" a potom sa rozhodnúť. Ako človek, ktorý podobný pobyt tiež absolvoval však jedným dychom dodávam, že i pre mňa bolo veľmi zaujímavé konfrontovať vlastné zážitky s tými Andrejovými. A napokon, keďže spoznávanie zahraničia sa iste, okrem nespočetných praktických kladov, naviac stáva i akýmsi módnym trendom, je táto knižka zaujímavým čítaním pre hocikoho, kto nežije ustrnulý kdesi v minulosti, rád ide s dobou a chce poznať súčasný životný štýl mladých ľudí.

Lacná kniha Of Gods and Men (-70%)
Daisy Dunn offers a deeply researched collection of stories reflecting the eclectic richness and depth of the classical literary canon.
Striking a balance between the 'classic classic' (such as Dryden's translation of the Aeneid) and the less familiar or expected, Of Gods and Men ranges from the epic poetry of Homer to the histories of Arrian and Diodorus Siculus and the sprawling Theogony of Hesiod; from the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides to the biographies of Suetonius and Plutarch and the pen portraits of Theophrastus; and from the comedies of Plautus to the the fictions of Petronius and Apuleius.
Of Gods and Men is embellished by translations from writers as diverse as Queen Elizabeth I (Boethius), Percy Bysshe Shelley (Plato), Walter Pater (Apuleius's Golden Ass), Lawrence of Arabia (Homer's Odyssey), Louis MacNeice (Aeschylus's Agamemnon) and Ted Hughes (Ovid's Pygmalion), as well as a number of accomplished translations by Daisy herself.
