Wings of the Dove
She found herself, for the first moment, looking at the mysterious portrait through tears. Perhaps it was her tears that made it just then so strange and fair ...the face of a young woman, all splendidly drawn, down to the hands, and splendidly dressed ...And she was dead, dead, dead'. Emerging from the grit and stigma of poverty to a life of fairytale privilege under the wing of her aunt, the beautiful and financially ambitious Kate Croy is already romantically involved with promising journalist Merton Densher when they become acquainted with Milly Theale, a New York socialite of immense wealth. Learning of Milly's mortal illness and passionate attraction to Densher, Kate sets the scene for a romantic betrayal intended to secure her lasting financial security. As the dying Milly retreats within the carnival splendour of a Venetian palazzo, becoming the frail hub of a predatory circle of fortune-seekers, James unfolds a resonant, brooding tale of doomed passion, betrayal, human resilience and remorse. The "Penguin English Library" - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

McCartney Paul & Wings - Band Of The Run (50th Anniversary) 2CD
Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE (narodený 18. júna 1942) je anglický spevák, skladateľ a hudobník, ktorý sa celosvetovo preslávil skupinou Beatles, pre ktorú hral na basgitaru a s Johnom Lennonom sa podieľal na primárnych úlohách skladania piesní a vedenia vokálu. Jeden z najúspešnejších skladateľov a interpretov všetkých čias, McCartney, je známy svojim melodickým prístupom k hre na basu, všestranným a širokým tenorovým vokálnym rozsahom a hudobným eklekticizmom, ktorý skúma žánre od pre-rock and roll popu po klasiku, balady, a elektronika. Jeho skladateľské partnerstvo s Lennonom je najúspešnejšie v histórii modernej hudby. McCartney napísal alebo je spoluautorom rekordných 32 piesní, ktoré sa umiestnili na vrchole rebríčka Billboard Hot 100, a od roku 2009 mal v USA predaj 25,5 milióna jednotiek s certifikáciou RIAA. Medzi jeho vyznamenania patria dve uvedenia do Rokenrolovej siene slávy (ako člen Beatles v roku 1988 a ako sólový umelec v roku 1999), cena Akadémie, cena Primetime Emmy, 18 cien Grammy, menovanie za člena Rád Britského impéria v roku 1965 a rytiersky titul v roku 1997 za zásluhy o hudbu.
Band on the Run je tretí štúdiový album, vydaný spoločnosťou Apple 30. novembra 1973. Bol to McCartneyho piaty album po odchode z Beatles v apríli 1970. Hoci predaj bol spočiatku skromný, jeho reklama vystúpeniu pomohli dva úspešné single – „Jet“ a „Band on the Run“ – tak, že sa stal najpredávanejším štúdiovým albumom roku 1974 v Spojenom kráľovstve a Austrálii, okrem toho, že oživil McCartneyho kritické postavenie. Zostáva McCartneyho najúspešnejším albumom a najslávnejším z jeho diel po Beatles.

Lacná kniha Beating of His Wings (-70%)
The Beating of his Wings by Paul Hoffman is the final instalment in his epic Cale and the Sanctuary of Redeemers series.
Thomas Cale has been running from the truth.
Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose - to destroy God's greatest mistake, mankind itself - Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.
Cale is a paradox: arrogant and innocent, generous and pitiless. Feared and revered by those created him, he has already used his breathtaking talent for destruction to bring down the most powerful civilisation in the world.
But Thomas Cale is weak. His soul is dying. As his body is wracked with convulsions he knows that the final judgment will not wait for a sick boy. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale's sense of vengeance leads him back to the Sanctuary - and to confront the person he hates most in the world. Finally Cale must recognise that he is the incarnation of God's rage and decide if he will stand against the Sanctuary of the Redeemers and use his unique skill of laying waste to all things.
The fate of mankind rests on Cale's decision.
The Beating of his Wings is the third and final instalment in Paul Hoffman's epic Cale and the Sanctuary of the Redeemers trilogy, following The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things. Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials meets Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, and fans of epic heroic fiction will love this series.
Praise for Paul Hoffman:
'This book gripped me from the first chapter and then dropped me days later, dazed and grinning to myself' Conn Iggulden
'Tremendous momentum' Daily Telegraph
'A cult classic . . .' Daily Express
Paul Hoffman is the author of four previous novels: the two previous Thomas Cale titles, as well as The Golden Age of Censorship, a black comedy based on his experiences as a film censor and The Wisdom of Crocodiles, which predicted the collapse of the world financial system.

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.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
