Beatles, The - The Blue Album 1967 - 1970 (2023 Edition) 2CD
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola kolekcia rozšírená o 9 ďalších skladieb, vrátane „Blackbird“, „Glass Onion“ a novej piesne „Now And Then“. The Last Beatles Song, „Now And Then“ dopĺňa demo nahrávku Johna Lennona vokálu a klavíra zo 70. rokov s časťami, ktoré hrali Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr, ako aj s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. Kolekcia 2CD teraz obsahuje 37 skladieb, z ktorých 6 má nové mixy na rok 2023. Brožúra obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia 1966 – 1970 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.

The Four Pillars 4: Pillar of Ash
Yske, a healer and daughter of the warrior priestess Hessa, holds the balance of power in a world--shattering war of the gods, in this thrilling, mythical and emotional epic fantasy saga.
The enthralling conclusion to the HALL OF SMOKE saga, perfect for fans of Ragnarök, Claire LeGrand, Margaret Owen, V. E. Schwab and Melissa Caruso.
Yske, daughter of the legendary warrior priestess Hessa, has dedicated her life to medicine and pacifism in service to Aita, the Great Healer. When her twin brother Berin, hungry for glory, gathers a party to investigate rumours of strange sightings in the Unmade - shadows in the darkness at the end of the world - Yske joins the mission, to keep him safe. Their journey east takes them through primal forests, walking paths last trod when gods were at war and ancient, powerful beasts were defeated and bound. And the closer they get to the Unmade, the more strange and terrible things haunt them from the shadows, corruptions in nature and monstrous creatures of moss and bone. Earning the respect of Berin and his warriors, Yske must forge a place for mercy and healing in a world of violence and sacrifice. She must survive murderous ambushes and brutal sieges and take her place at the centre of the oldest war of all. Thrust into a desperate conflict of survival, Yske and Berin will wage the final war with the gods - in the shadow of a vast and ancient tree, the fate of creation is about to be decided.
Four Thousand Weeks
Battling an overfilled inbox?
Your ever-lengthening to-do lists?
Struggling against distraction?
What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
If you live to 80, you'll have barely more than four thousand weeks on earth. How will you decide how to spend them?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.
Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.
'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in... Read this book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living'
EMMA GANNON
'Wonderful. Instead of offering new tips on how to cram more into your day, it questions why we feel the need to'

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

The Lost Country, Episode Four
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the Dinosaur Apocalypse …
How did it all begin? Well, that depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn't take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn't take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded.
Welcome to the Lost Country.
From "The Devil's Triangle":
There were six of them, as I said—all of whom rushed us the instant our feet touched the ground. All of whom snarled and charged us like wolverines as we raised our weapons and fired—the flare gun cracking and hissing, blanching the scarlet haze (for the sun had painted everything red and gold), its projectile punching through one of the raptors’ chests and lighting it up so that its ribs were backlit briefly and I could see, if only for an instant, its burning, beating heart.
Yet still they came, another one leaping at me even as I dropped the gun—which clattered against the planks—as I dropped it and grabbed the thing by its neck—then brought the knife down with my other hand and stabbed it between the eyes.
“Run!” I shouted, even as Amanda shot another—her second—and then bolted toward the shore, drawing the others so that I was able to snatch up the flare gun and quickly reload it; so that I was able to pursue them and to shoot one in the back—while Amanda turned and took out the last of them (shooting it in the head so that the back of its skull exploded like a spaghetti dinner thrown against the wall; so that it collapsed, writhing, about 10 feet in front of her—whereupon she quickly approached it and shot it again, just to be sure).
And then she looked at me (as the dead and dying animals lay all around us) and I looked back: our chests heaving; our faces covered in sweat, our worn clothes bloody and disheveled, and I knew that she knew—which was that today we were the predators, the thing needing to be feared—the killers. And that neither of us needed to worry; not about food or other predators or mysterious lights in the sky or anything. Because we were the masters of our fate, we and no one else, not even God. And we were the master of the world’s fate, too.
At which she ran to me and we collided and I held her fast, there on the long jetty in the Atlantic Ocean (in the Bermuda Triangle), there beneath a day moon and the blood-red sky, in an instant in which it was good, so very good, not to be afraid, not to be alone. And as to what may or may not have happened in those breaths, those pulse points between that moment and the next—the next day, the next search, the next milestone; as to that, I offer only a quote from Gandhi: “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

The House in the Cerulean Sea
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place - and realizing that family could be yours.
'I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect' - V. E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
He expected nothing. But they gave him everything . . .
Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he's spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages.
Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside, including the Antichrist. There, Linus must somehow determine if they could bring on the end of days. But their guardian, charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards.
