THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PALOCZ
It was a thick, foggy morning; the fog seemed densest in the precincts of the Court House. It had enveloped completely this gloomy building, making it look more repellent than ever. It had settled there as if with a fixed determination to remain.
The very air in the hall smelt of this damp fog, and even the whisky whose odour permeated the entire place was giving way to it. The circular ventilator in the highest window-pane was choked by it, and revolved but slowly.
The judges leaned wearily back in their comfortable chairs; one closed his eyes, and sleepily listened to the scratching of the clerk’s pen; another yawningly drummed with his pencil on the green table, whilst the president, balancing his glasses on the tip of his nose, was mopping his perspiring brow with his handkerchief. In the interval of rest this noble gentleman perspired freely he scrutinized fixedly the door, through which but a few moments previous those people interested in the case just tried had passed.

Depeche Mode - Before We Drown/People Are Good LP Maxi single
Depeche Mode je hudobná skupina, ktorá bola v roku 1980 založená v Basildone v Anglicku. Skupinu dnes tvorí: Dave Gahan (spev a spolautorstvo skladieb)a Martin Gore (klávesy, gitara, spev a hlavný autor skladieb). Ich hudobný štýl by sa dal najlepšie charakterizovať ako synth rock, alebo taktiež synthpop (používanie umelých zvukov, vytváraných syntetizátormi a samplermi). Stali sa jednou z najvytrvalejších a najúspešnejších hudobných skupín, ktoré sa objavili počas New Wave a New Romantic éry. Vďaka svojej inovatívnej tvorbe, nahrávacím technikám a popularizácii vzorkovania (angl. sampling), ovplyvnili mnoho súčasných hudobníkov. Ich album Violator z roku 1990 je považovaný za klenot elektronickej hudby. Hoci sú významní pre modernú techno scénu, zostávajú naďalej pri alternatívnej hudbe. Až 54 skladieb skupiny Depeche Mode sa dostalo do rebríčka UK Singles Chart a 17 ich albumov bolo britských rebríčkoch umiestnených do Top 10. Skupina Depeche Mode má na celom svete predaných viac než sto miliónov hudobných nosičov.Časopis Q zaradili Depeche Mode do svojho zoznamu „50 kapiel, ktoré zmenili svet!“Televízia VH1 ich dala na 98. miesto svojho zoznamu „Stovky najväčších umelcov všetkých čias“. V decembri 2016 dal magazín Billboard skupinu Depeche Mode na desiate miesto zoznamu najlepších umelcov klubovej tanečnej hudobnej scény.Skupina Depeche Mode bola nominovaná do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame v rokoch 2017 a 2018 a uvedená do nej bola v roku 2020.
Po celosvetovom úspechu posledného albumu Memento Mori predstavujú Depeche Mode remixy skladieb „Before We Drown“ a „People Are Good".

Ultra-Processed People
An eye-opening investigation into the science, economics, history and production of ultra-processed food.
It's not you, it's the food.
We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies?
Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).
For too long we've been told we just need to make different choices, when really we're living in a food environment that makes it nigh-on impossible. So this is a book about our rights. The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food.
The Good People
Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize 2017 County Kerry, Ireland, 1825. NORA, bereft after the sudden death of her beloved husband, finds herself alone and caring for her young grandson Micheal. Micheal cannot speak and cannot walk and Nora is desperate to know what is wrong with him. What happened to the healthy, happy grandson she met when her daughter was still alive? MARY arrives in the valley to help Nora just as the whispers are spreading: the stories of unexplained misfortunes, of illnesses, and the rumours that Micheal is a changeling child who is bringing bad luck to the valley. NANCE's knowledge keeps her apart. To the new priest, she is a threat, but to the valley people she is a wanderer, a healer. Nance knows how to use the plants and berries of the woodland; she understands the magic in the old ways. And she might be able to help Micheal. As these three women are drawn together in the hope of restoring Micheal, their world of folklore and belief, of ritual and stories, tightens around them. It will lead them down a dangerous path, and force them to question everything they have ever known. Based on true events and set in a lost world bound by its own laws, The Good People is Hannah Kent's startling new novel about absolute belief and devoted love. Terrifying, thrilling and moving in equal measure, this long-awaited follow-up to Burial Rites shows an author at the height of her powers.

Good Boy - Jófiú - PNC 1. rész
Ha eddig nem voltál jéghokirajongó, mostantól az leszel.
Jess Canning életének legnagyobb kihívása, hogy megszervezze az öccse, Jamie és hokisztár párja, Wes esküvőjét, ahol a legmenőbb
hokijátékosok is ott vannak a vendéglistán. Mivel eleve ő a család fekete báránya, nem vallhat kudarcot. És senki - de tényleg senki! - nem szerezhet tudomást az óriási hibáról, amit tavasszal, egy gyenge pillanatában követett el a vőlegény tanújával. Helytelen dolog volt, aminek nem lesz ismétlése. Kizárt. Még akkor sem, ha a világ legszexibb pasijáról van szó.
Blake Riley a sors személyes ajándékának érzi az esküvőt. Jess és ő is tanúk? Kezdődjön a játék! És akkor mi van, ha némi (na jó, nagy) ellenállásba ütközik? Csak meg kell győznie a makacs szőkét, hogy igazából jófiú, rossz hírnévvel. Szerencsére minden profi hokijátékos tudja, hogy erőfeszítést kell tennie, ha gólt akar lőni.
Jessnek viszont égetőbb problémája is akad annál, mintsem hogy pásztorórákra gondoljon egy nagyra nőtt kisfiúval. Vajon időben elkezdődik a szertartás - még akkor is, ha valaki leitatta a nagymamát? Való egyáltalán csillám egy esküvőre? És mennyire helyénvaló kinyírni a vőlegény tanúját?
Vigyázat, véletlen tea- vagy kávéfélrenyelést okozhat!
Ne olvasd nyilvános helyen, ahol nem illik hangosan nevetni!
Szexi, de vicces hokijátékosokat tartalmaz, kiskutya-ölelgetéssel és egy pikáns fehérneművel.
Hagyd, hogy magával ragadjon!
Mytopédia. Encyklopédia mýtických bytostí a ich magických príbehov
Vydajte sa na dobrodružnú výpravu do magickej ríše fantastických bytostí zo všetkých kútov sveta
Mýty a legendy sú staré príbehy, ktoré si ľudia rozprávajú už celé generácie. Hovoria o záhadných magických bytostiach, ktoré medzi nami žijú. Niektoré si možno ľahko pomýlite so známymi zvieratami, ako sú zajace, kone či veveričky. Na rozdiel od nich však dokážu rozprávať, meniť podobu, čarovať či narásť do obrovských rozmerov. Výnimočnosť iných fantastických tvorov zas rozpoznáte na prvý pohľad. To je prípad drakov, jednorožcov, baziliškov so smrtiacim jedom či obrov.
Prečo tieto príbehy vlastne vznikali? Niektoré chceli ľudí varovať pred hrôzostrašnými beštiami, ako bol Grootslang, polohad a poloslon, kým iné sa rozprávali len pre zábavu. Mnohé objasňujú, ako vznikli nebeské javy či veci, ktoré nás obklopujú, napríklad ako Hromový vták spôsobuje búrky alebo ako pavúčí boh Anansi obdaroval ľudí príbehmi.
Svet mytologických bytostí je plný tajomstiev a mágie. Táto encyklopédia vás bude sprevádzať na ceste okolo sveta, na ktorej spoznáte viaceré úžasné stvorenia od Pegasa, Chiméry, Krakena či Yetiho až po Dúhovú rybu, Anupa, Zylanta či Bastet a ich fascinujúce príbehy. Podnietia detskú fantáziu a vďaka nim sa deti oboznámia s inými krajinami.

People We Meet on Vacation
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read comes a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart--she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown--but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together--lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

Muse - Will Of The People (Cream) LP
Jedna z největších rockových kapel současné Anglie dosud celosvětově prodala přes 17 milionů desek. Zatím nejúspěšnější album vyšlo v roce 2012. Deska 2nd Law vystoupala na vrchol prodejních hitparád v 21 zemích světa, v Americe byla druhá, v Čechách byla nejvýše pátá.
Deváté studiové album slavné rockové kapely.

Podle něj prožíváme děsivé období, které muselo znepokojit každého. „Album je osobní navigací skrz tyto obavy a přípravou na to, co přijde,“ dodává. Nová kolekce, jejíž produkce se ujali samotní Muse, je velmi pestrá. Posluchači s emohou těšit na dystopický glam-rock, nostalgickou elektroniku i industriálně znějící pasáže. Album je k dispozici v několika formátech včetně vinylu.

Power, People and Profits
From Nobel Prize-winning economist and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, this account of the dangers of free market fundamentalism reveals what has gone so wrong, but also shows us a way out. We all have the sense that our economy tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in People, Power and Profits, a few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth.
This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of economic prosperity and democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless.
In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for people and not the other way around. If enough rally behind this agenda for change, we can create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity.
Stiglitz shows how a decent middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.
