Shooting an Elephant
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.
Today, George Orwell is perhaps most famous for his iconic novels - Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm - but in his own time it was his remarkable nonfiction writing which drew most attention. Kind-hearted, intelligent, often funny, occasionally indignant, always insightful: his essays are some of the best ever written. Among others, this selection includes 'Shooting an Elephant', 'Such, Such Were the Joys' and 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad'.
An Lan Dan
Premýšľali ste niekedy nad tým, kam miznú všetky pokazené, stratené či vyhodené veci? Čo ak niekde za nablýskanými fasádami miest žijú svoj druhý život?
Keď sa najlepšie kamarátky Zana a Diba ocitnú v pivnici starého domu, netušia, že objavili vchod do paralelného Londýna, v ktorom ožívajú veci, rozprávajú knihy, kde sa po oblohe premávajú lietajúce autobusy a po zemi vražedné žirafy. Po stretnutiach s výstrednými obyvateľmi Anlondýna však zisťujú, že zvláštne udalosti, ktoré v poslednom čase zažívali, nie sú dielom náhody, ale súčasťou dávneho proroctva: je Zana skutočne vyvolená zachrániť Anlondýn pred Smogom, jedovatým mrakom, ktorý sa postupne zmocňuje celého mesta?
AN LAN DAN je prvá mestská fantasy Chinu Miévilla, zakladateľa žánru New Weird, určená pre mladších čitateľov a čitateľky, a zároveň prvý preklad tohto kultového autora v slovenčine.

The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.
NOW WITH UPDATED AFTERWORD
Steal Like an Artist
When asked to talk to students at Broome Community College in upstate New York in the spring of 2011, Austin Kleon wrote a simple list often things he wished he'd heard when he was their age: 'Steal like an artist; Don't wait until you know who you are to start making things; Write the book you want to read; Use your hands; Side projects are important; Do good work and put it where people can see it; Geography is no longer our master; Be nice (the world is a small town.); Be boring (it's the only way to get work done.); and, Creativity is subtraction.' After giving the speech, he posted the text and slides to his popular blog, where it quickly went viral. Now Kleon has expanded his original manifesto into an illustrated guide to the creative life for writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, photographers, musicians, and anyone attempting to make things - art, a career, a life - in the digital age. Brief, direct, and visually interactive, the book includes illustrative anecdotes and mini-exercise sections calling out practical actions readers can take to unleash their own creative spirits.

Sportovní epopej The Sports Epic
Sportovní epopej předního českého malíře Michaela Rittsteina (nar. 1949) můžeme považovat za jedno z nejvýznamnějších uměleckých děl se sportovním zaměřením jak v českém, tak mezinárodním kontextu. Jedná se o vizuální drama složené ze sedmadvaceti částí, ve kterém se odehrávají příběhy o touze po dokonalosti v umění, sportu i životě. Cyklus byl poprvé představen na Letních olympijských hrách v Londýně v roce 2012. Tato kniha sleduje okolnosti jeho vzniku, a především dává detailně nahlédnout do nitra jednotlivých obrazů.
Taiko: An Epic Novel Of War And Glory In Feudal Japan
In the tempestuous closing decades of the sixteenth century, the Empire of Japan writhes in chaos as the shogunate crumbles and rival warlords battle for supremacy. Warrior monks in their armed citadels block the road to the capital; castles are destroyed, villages plundered, fields put to the torch. Amid this devastation, three men dream of uniting the nation. At one extreme is the charismatic but brutal Nobunaga, whose ruthless ambition crushes all before him. At the opposite pole is the cold, deliberate Ieyasu, wise in counsel, brave in battle, mature beyond his years.
The Little Man´s Great journey
Knihu Jiřího Stacha a Lenky Uhlířové vydalo nakladatelství Meander v roce 2008. Jedinečný příběh doplněný o autentické fotografie ze světa Malého Pána získal mnohá ocenění včetně nominace Magnesia Litera na Objev roku. Režisér Radek Beran příběh zpra
coval jako loutkový film za pomoci Výtvarníka Františka Antonína Skály. Ve filmu Malý Pán, který přijde do kin letos na jaře, budou nitě a drátky přiznané, takže divák uvidí, jak se loutky vodí. Žádná animovaná kouzla, jen reálně vytvořené kulisy a r
ekvizity. Velký vliv na režiséra Berana měla i tvorba Jana Švankmajera. Právě u příležitosti uvedení filmu do českých i slovenských kin připravujeme druhé vydání knihy, která se stala prvotní inspirací pro film, avšak také samostatným dílem, který po
hyblivý obraz v mnohém doplňuje. Malý pán si žije spokojeně ve svém malém světě, a když má dost nudlí, nikam se zvlášť nežene. Jenže má sen, a se sny bývají jak známo jen samé potíže nenechají člověka (ani malého) v klidu. Malý pán po probuzení překvapeně zjišťuje, že mu něco schází. A tak nerad opouští svůj útulný domov a vydá se na cestu, aby tomu přišel na kloub. Kdo ví, co na konci své velké cesty najde?

Vďaka jednoduchým pravidlám a princípu hrania si zábavu s Dixitom môže užiť naozaj každý naprieč všetkými vekovými kategóriami.
Hra je taktiež vhodná pre deti, ktorým napomáha k rozvíjaniu ich fantázie.
V každom kole zastáva iný hráč rolu rozprávača. Získava body tým, že ostatní hráči hádajú jeho kartu pomocou pomocníka, ktorý im poskytne. Ale táto nápoveda musí byť dômyselná, pretože ak kartu uhádnu všetci hráči, nedostane rozprávač žiadne body! Ostatní hráči získavajú body tým, že nájdu rozprávačovu kartu a že získajú hlasy ostatných hráčov vďaka šikovnému výberu kariet. Hra končí vo chvíli, keď jeden alebo viac hráčov získa 30 bodov a viac. Víťazí hráč s najväčším počtom bodov.
Toto nie je samostatná hra, ale iba rozšírenie, ktoré vyžaduje základnú hru Dixit či Dixit Odyssey.

Lacná kniha How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (-50%)
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan
