Stories of Your Life and Others
'A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.' GUARDIAN
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
'United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion.' CHINA MIEVILLE

Beatles, The - Now And Then LP Maxi Single
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.
„Now And Then“ je posledná pieseň Beatles, ktorú napísal John Lennon v polovici/koncom sedemdesiatych rokov. S Johnovým hlasom Now Pristine In The Mix obsahuje skladba „Now And Then“ prvky z relácií z roku 1995 vrátane gitarových partov Georgea Harrisona a vokálnych a inštrumentálnych partov, ktoré v roku 2022 nahrali Paul McCartney a Ringo Starr, spolu s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. „Now And Then“, produkovaná Paulom a Gilesom Martinom, je posledná pieseň nahraná všetkými štyrmi Beatles, silné a vhodné finále nadčasových nahrávok kapely.„Love Me Do“ je pieseň, ktorá to všetko začala, bola prvým britským singlom The Beatles v roku 1962. Po prvýkrát bola ikonická pieseň zmixovaná pomocou strojového učenia a remixovaná v skutočnom stereo. Skladba „Love Me Do“ odštartovala cestu The Beatles k bezkonkurenčnému celosvetovému úspechu a uznaniu, ktoré pretrváva dodnes.Dvojitý singel skupiny Beatles pre skladbu „Now And Then“ a „Love Me Do“ spája poslednú pieseň Beatles s prvým britským singlom kapely. Výkonné hudobné zarážky do kánonu nahraného The Beatles, obe piesne sú uvedené aj v nových rozšírených výročných edíciách.

My Life With The Walter Boys - Életem a Walter fiúkkal
Átkozott tökéletesség!
Jackie nem szereti a meglepetéseket. A káosz maga az ellenség! A legjobb módja annak, hogy a sikeres, elfoglalt szülei felfigyeljenek rá, az, ha tökéletes lesz ő is. Tökéletes külső, tökéletes jegyek - a tökéletes gyerek. És akkor...
1. sokk: Jackie családja életét veszti egy szörnyű autóbalesetben.
2. sokk: Jackie-nek az ország másik végébe kell költöznie,
hogy a Walter családdal éljen - az új gyámjaival.
3. sokk: Walteréknek tizenkét fiuk van. (Vagyis tizenegy,
de Parker teljesen úgy viselkedik, mint egy fiú.)
Jackie-nek le kell cserélnie az A típusú személyiségét és New York-i lakását egy coloradói tanyára és a hozzá járó vad Walter fiúkra. A lányt az ellenség veszi körül - hangos, rendetlen, idegesítő fiúk, akiknek gőzük sincs a személyes tér fogalmáról. Oké, a legidősebb srácok közül néhányan kifejezetten gyönyörűek. De attól még idegesítők mind. És Jackie nem nagyképű vagy unalmas, bármit is mondanak! De ezt bebizonyítani már más kérdés. Hogyan tud majd beilleszkedni és továbblépni, miközben a szülei emlékét is életben kell tartania azzal, hogy mindenben a tökéletességre törekszik?
A Wattpad-szenzációként induló történet, melyet a kirobbanó sikere a hivatalos kiadásig röpített.

A Little Life
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.
