The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .
Stella Maris
Po dlouhých šestnácti letech, jež uplynuly od vydání jeho světového bestselleru Cesta, se doyen americké literatury Cormac McCarthy vrací na scénu s novým dílem, lépe řečeno románovým diptychem. Jeho první část, nazvaná Pasažér, pojednává o peripetiích záchranáře Bobbyho Westerna, zatímco část druhá, Stella Maris, je věnována jeho sestře Alicii, doktorandce matematiky na Chicagské univerzitě. Ta se znenadání objeví v nemocnici ve Wisconsinu se čtyřiceti tisíci dolary v igelitové tašce. Záhy se ukáže, že trpí paranoidní schizofrenií a že možná v její mentální nestabilitě hraje určitou roli její bratr Bobby, o němž za žádnou cenu nechce mluvit. Reálný svět, zejména vzpomínky na dětství, se na plátně, které čtenářům představuje, prolínají s přeludy, premisami a závěry fyziky a filosofie. Příběh, vyprávěný prostřednictvím záznamů z terapeutických sezení, je působivým dovětkem k románu Pasažér a zároveň úchvatnou meditací o pojmech jako Bůh, pravda, zkušenost a lidská existence.

Píše se rok 1942. Do Berlína přijíždí Friedrich, tichý mladík původem od Ženevského jezera.
Ve výtvarné škole se tu setkává s Kristin, která ho vodí po tajných jazzových klubech a pije s ním koňak. Dostane od ní první polibek a může si vedle ní namlouvat, že válka je někde daleko. Jednoho rána mu však Kristin zaklepe na dveře zraněná a přizná, že mu neřekla pravdu.
Ve skutečnosti se jmenuje Stella a je Židovka. Gestapo ji odhalilo a nutí ji k ďábelské dohodě: bude-li udávat ukrývající se Židy, zachrání své rodiče. Přistoupí Stella na tento návrh, nebo odmítne?

"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Zachráněné dědictví / Saved Legacy
Kniha Zachráněné dědictví je příběhem o obnově jednoho z nejvýznačnějších barokních sálů v Brně, a především o záchraně jeho freskové výzdoby. Jedná se o Sál rady na Nové radnici v Brně, jehož obnovu plánovali brněnští radní již více jak sto let. Kvalitní fotografie a čtenářsky přístupný text umožňují nahlédnout do komplikované cesty obnovy téměř zničené freskové výzdoby sálu.
I přes své konkrétní zaměření na Sál rady na Nové radnici v Brně a jeho památkovou obnovu umožňuje tato brunensie seznámit širší veřejnost s výtvarným projevem doby baroka na Moravě a to v kontextu s historickým děním v tehdejší Habsburské monarchii.
Lacná kniha Unbrandable: How to Succeed in the New Brand Space (-90%)
The Unbrandables are a new kind of consumer: savvy, sensitive to inauthenticity; hostile to relentless, debt-driving materialism; and suspicious of marketing for products they do not want or that are bad for the environment. Yet this is not to say that this demographic always rejects branding. From Muji in Japan, Mojang in Sweden, and Deus ex Machina in Australia to The Village Voice in New York, and even the California-based fast-food brand In-N-Out Burger, brands both new and established have been able to win over a more skeptical set of consumers by recognizing that honesty is the best policy on practical as well as moral grounds. Unbrandable is the guide, as much as there can be one, to imitating these companies successful marketing strategies. Author Adam Stone examines fifty brands and individuals who have learned how to thrive in this new branding landscape by taking a more creative, transparent approach. Each profile focuses on either a brand that works, an industry professional who has adapted to new branding challenges, an individual who can articulate better than any old-fashioned focus group what the new consumer wants, or a place among them, Berlin and Sao Paulo that flourishes on unbrandable principles."

Az utas / Stella Maris
"Ez Cormac McCarthy pályájának leggazdagabb és legerősebb műve. Nagyobb írói teljesítmény, mint a Véres délkörök vagy Az út" - írta a The Atlantic az amerikai szerző legújabb művéről, melyen az 1970-es évek óta, ha megszakításokkal is, de folyamatosan dolgozott. Most, tizenhét évvel Az út megjelenése után végre a magyar olvasók is kézbe vehetik - egy kötetben - a Western testvérek tragikus történetét elmesélő párregényt, Az utast és a Stella Marist.
1980, Pass Christian, Mississippi. Az utas főszereplőjét, a mentőbúvárként dolgozó Bobby Westernt egy tengerbe zuhant repülőhöz riasztják. A gépben kilenc holttest ül beszíjazva, a tizedik utasnak, a pilóta táskájának és a fekete doboznak nyoma vész. Bobby, miután búvártársát holtan találják és a kormány ügynökei az ő nyomába erednek, megpróbál eltűnni. Azonban családja nyomasztó múltja elől nem tud elrejtőzni. Apja Oppenheimer tudóscsapatának tagja volt, fizikusként részt vett az atombomba-kísérletekben, szépséges és különös tehetséggel megáldott húgát, Aliciát pedig képtelen volt megmenteni. Az utas az erény és a tudomány, a bűntudat és a téboly lélegzetelállító regénye.
1972, Black River Falls, Wisconsin. A Stella Maris központi alakja, Alicia Western, ifjú matematikazseni, aki húszévesen önként vonult kórházba. A paranoid skizofréniával diagnosztizált lány és pszichiátere, Dr. Cohen terápiás beszélgetéseiből különös világ bontakozik ki. Aliciát őrületbe kergeti bátyja, Bobby iránt érzett, "égi törvények ellenére" való szerelme, hallucinációiban pedig leginkább a matematika és a kvantumfizika törvényei mutatnak irányt. McCarthy - ahogy erre több mint 50 éve, az 1968-as Odakint a sötétség című könyve óta készült - újra különleges női főhőst alkotott. Bobby és Alicia párregénye megkérdőjelezi az Istenről, az igazságról és a létről alkotott elképzeléseinket.
"Talán nehezebb egyetlen dolgot elveszíteni, mint mindent."
The Man Who Saved The Earth
The story opens on an oppressively hot day with a poor little newspaper boy, Charley, playing with a "burning glass" (a magnifying glass) which he uses to concentrate sunlight onto a small focal spot, thus intensifying the heat on some paper until it burns a hole, perhaps a portent of things to come. He is noticed by a recluse scientist, Dr. Robold, who takes interest in Charley's scientific curiosity and calls him a young Archimedes, referring to the ancient Greek who, as legend tells, used a "burning glass" from shore to set enemy ships ablaze as they were approaching. Charley has no parents to care for him. Dr. Robold takes Charley away from his pitiful life, to a mountain retreat in Colorado. Years later, bizarre, terrifying events begin to occur. At a street intersection in Oakland, California, everything within a large circular area--streetcars, autos, people, pavement--suddenly vanishes without a sound, during a flash of bright, multi-colored light, leaving a vastly deep hole with perfectly smooth sides as though cut with a knife. A wave of something toxic spreads outward, causing people to die of dehydration in a matter of minutes. In a remote rangeland, an entire mountain and 2000 cattle similarly disappear. An enormous fireball cuts a large trench across the United States starting at the Pacific Coastal town of Santa Cruz, California, going all the way to the Atlantic coast and continuing to the "Sargasso Sea" in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, where it hovers and draws up water continuously. Climate patterns change immediately. Water levels in the oceans worldwide fall as the water seems to be consumed by this terrifying object. The English Channel goes dry and the Mediterranian Sea becomes a landlocked lake. The devastation continues.Only one person is the key to saving the world from destruction: Charley, now an adult. We learn that, under Dr. Robold's rearing and tutelage, he studied science. Charley discovers the source of this devastating assault on the Earth and pursues a fast-paced struggle to stop the attack before the Earth is completely plundered.The story was one of 6 short stories that appeared in the first magazine devoted to science fiction, Amazing Stories: The Magazine of Scientifiction, volume 1, number 1, April 1926, edited by Hugo Gernsback and published by his company, Experimenter Publishing Company. The periodical copyright was not renewed and the individual authors' copyrights were not renewed. This magazine and its contents are now in the public domain in the United States.

How Emotions Are Made
'Fascinating . . . a thought-provoking journey into emotion science' The Wall Street Journal
When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside of you?
Many scientists believe that emotions come from a specific part of the brain, triggered by the world around us. The thrill of seeing an old friend, the fear of losing someone we love - each of these sensations seems to arise automatically and uncontrollably from within us, finding expression on our faces and in our behaviour, carrying us away with the experience.
This understanding of emotion has been around since Plato. But what if it is wrong? In How Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our common-sense ideas about emotions are dramatically, even dangerously, out of date - and that we have been paying the price. Emotions aren't universally pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history, physiology and environment.
This new view of emotions has serious implications: when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion, when police officers fire at threatening suspects, or when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another, they're all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies. Revising that conception of emotion isn't just good science, Barrett shows; it's vital to our well-being and the health of society itself.
