Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.

France: A Short History
A concise history of France from prehistory to the present, recounting the great events and personalities and exploring France's cultural and political influence today.
Artists, martyrs, kings, revolutionaries: France's sense of national identity is inextricably linked to its dramatic history, which fascinates the world and attracts millions each year to visit its chateaux and cathedrals, boulevards and vineyards. Ancient roots allied to a social, political and military history that has witnessed revolution, conflict and occupation mean that France holds a unique position in the modern world. In this short, easy-to-digest history of a vast subject, Jeremy Black succinctly narrates how France's past has created its distinct character.
Country and destination, nation and idea, France has an incomparable cultural legacy, and exerts a powerful artistic, intellectual and political influence across the globe. Black's vivid take on history emphasizes the unexpected nature of events and unpredictable outcomes on a fragmented country, from the prehistoric cave paintings of Lascaux to the origins of Gothic architecture, from Monet and Degas to the Lumiere brothers, and from the cataclysm of the 1789 Revolution through the countercultural student protests of 1968 to today's gilets jaunes. Black's concise, insightful tour of the key historical moments and vibrant personalities that shaped France provides an indispensable guide to understanding the country today.
The History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Pictures
Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953–1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands – Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.

History Is All You Left Me
You’re still alive in alternate universes, Theo, but I live in the real world where this morning you’re having an open casket funeral. I know you’re out there, listening. And you should know I’m really pissed because you swore you would never die and yet here we are. It hurts even more because this isn’t the first promise you’ve broken.
OCD-afflicted seventeen-year-old, Griffin, has just lost his first love – his best friend, ex-boyfriend and the boy he believed to be his ultimate life partner – in a drowning accident. In a desperate attempt to hold onto every last piece of the past, a broken Griffin forges a friendship with Theo’s new college boyfriend, Jackson. And Griffin will stop at nothing to learn every detail of Theo’s new college life, and ultimate death. But as the grieving pair grows closer, readers will question Griffin's own version of the truth – both in terms of what he’s willing to hide, and what true love ultimately means...
Praise for History is All You Left Me
"History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache. Even when its hero is screwing up royally, maybe especially then, Silvera's humanity and compassion carve out a space where it's not the falling that's important, it's how you pick yourself back up. There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages." Patrick Ness
"Adam Silvera is a master at capturing the infinite small heartbreaks of love and loss and grief. History Is All You Left Me is a beautiful meditation on what it means to survive devastating loss. This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more." Nicola Yoon

A Shadow in the Ember - Árnyék a parázsban (Hús és tűz 1.)
Ejtsd szerelembe, válj a gyenge pontjává, végezz vele... Seraphena Mierel az ősi lények fátylába burkolva született, a Sors ígérte Szűzként, ezért a jövője sosem volt az övé: születése előtt kiválasztották, hogy alanya legyen egy kétségbeesett alkunak, amelyet őse kötött a népe megmentése érdekében.
Serának hátra kell hagynia az életét, és a Halál Ősi Lényének kell felajánlkoznia hitvesül. Ám Sera valódi sorsa egész Lazania legjobban őrzött titka: ő nem a jól védett Szűz, hanem egy bérgyilkos, akinek egyetlen küldetése van - és egyetlen célpontja: a Halál Ősi Lénye. Ha kudarcot vall, a királyságát lassú pusztulásra ítéli a Rothadás keze által.
Sera mindig is tudta, hogy ki ő. Kiválasztott. Hitves. Orgyilkos. Fegyver. Egy kísértet, aki sosem ölthetett saját formát, mégis vérben ázik. Egy szörnyeteg. Egészen addig, amíg ő el nem jön érte... Amíg a Halál Ősi Lényének sorsa össze nem fonódik az övével. És a férfi csábító érintése olyan szenvedélyt lobbant fel benne, amilyet soha nem élt még át, és amit nem is érezhetne iránta. De Serának sosem volt választása.

Wren Beaumont is a model student. Kind, clever and beautiful, she is loved by everyone at Lancaster Prep.
Everyone but brooding campus bad boy Crew Lancaster.
Son of the family who own the school, Crew's life seems easy - but with an overbearing father and high expectations, it's anything but.
Which is why he has no time for people like Wren.
But when their lives unexpectedly collide, Wren discovers there's more to life than good grades - and Crew finally understands what it's like to care about someone other than himself . . .
Could they - should they - become the school's most unlikely couple?
A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime - Egymillió csók egy életen át - Éldekorált kiadás
Wren Beaumont-ról sok mindent elmondható.
Gyönyörű.
Okos.
Édes.
Ártatlan.
Az elit Lancaster középiskolában imádják a lányok. Mindenki a barátnője akar lenni. Csak én látok át rajta..
Egy elnyomott kis szüzecske, aki olyan erősen fojtja el az érzéseit, hogy majd' szétrobban. Azt képzeli, valamennyiünk felett áll.
Még felettem is.
Nem kellene vonzódnom hozzá. Nem a zsánerem.
Amíg aztán egyszer az órákon közös munkára nem kényszerülünk, és rá nem jövünk, hogy több bennünk a közös, mint eredetileg gondoltuk. És nem telik el sok idő, hogy a megszállottja legyek. Bármit megtennék ezért a lányért, hogy belém szeressen.
Bármit.

Rowling's magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.

In sinu Jesu
V roku 2007 sa začali uprostred ticha adorácie srdcu jedného kňaza prihovárať Pán Ježiš a Panna Mária. Z týchto slov sa zrodila kniha In sinu Jesu, ktorej stránky sa priamo dotýkajú potrieb človeka našej doby a pomáhajú mu prehĺbiť vzťah s Bohom.
Na pozadí základného motívu, ktorým je klaňanie sa eucharistickému Ježišovi a prinášanie náhrady za tých, čo sa neklaňajú, sa tu otvárajú i ďalšie témy duchovného života: modlitba, odovzdanie sa Božej prozreteľnosti, nutnosť ticha, potreba sviatostí a posvätnej liturgie, tajomstvá svätej omše, podstata kňazstva a kľúč k jeho apoštolskej plodnosti, úloha Panny Márie a svätých v našich životoch, skúsenosť hriechu a vlastnej slabosti na ceste za Kristom, túžba po nebi a obnova cirkvi na zemi.
Táto kniha, ktorej učenie sa pevne opiera o Písmo a apoštolskú Tradíciu, vyšla s cirkevným schválením pôvodne v angličtine, bola preložená do mnohých jazykov a stala sa zdrojom obnovy vnútorného života mnohých kňazov, rehoľníkov i laikov po celom svete.
