A Second Chance To Get It Right
Imagine this: you're sixty years old, divorced, broke. You've squandered away being the husband and father you should've been to your wife and children in your quest for status among your architect peers.
Don't worry: that's all about to change. Unfortunate encounters with large trucks on the highway have a way of altering your plans, like jettisoning you back into the past to wake up next to a woman you dated in college. You're also about to realize she hasn't aged a day - and neither have you.
Thirty years stripped away, just like that. And as a bonus, you have a six-year-old son you have no recollection of. You also have a new home, a brand new career, new friends and family, and skills you never had in your old life. There's nothing like straddling two distinct lives, trying to figure out how you know some things and yet not others. If only you could remember your past in this new world.
But what do people really know about you that you don't know about yourself? What kind of person are you? What secrets have you kept from those you love in this life? Is this your chance to redeem yourself, or are you fated to repeat the life you left behind and end up alone again?
Better figure it out, and quick.

Čo sa stane s človekom, keď padne impérium? A čo sa stane so všetkou tou vierou, ktorú v sebe mali milióny? Vyparí sa? A dá sa vôbec zo dňa na deň začať veriť niečomu inému?

Second First Impressions
'A truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story' Beth O'Leary
The latest swoonworthy romcom from the bestselling author of TikTok sensation The Hating Game
First impressions aren't always what they seem . . .
Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it.
Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running.
Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work.
And just maybe, her second first impression will lead to the love of a lifetime . . .

This book shows previously unknown opportunities and change blockades as well as self-blockades and helps to take the next step to achieve goals. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

The Second Sex
'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' Guardian
Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.
Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.
Zrodená z trosiek a popola
Keď sa mesto ponorí do temnoty, na svetlo sa začínajú vynárať dlho ukrývané rodinné tajomstvá.
Hypnotizujúci historický román o zrade, šialenstve, ale aj láske a odvahe pobiť sa za vlastný život a získať späť všetko, čo bolo kedysi stratené.
Píše sa rok 1906 a mladučká May Kimblová sa po smrti svojej milovanej matky ocitá v New Yorku úplne sama a bez prostriedkov. Z neutešenej situácie ju vytrhne až list s pozvaním do San Francisca od tety, o ktorej existencii doteraz ani netušila. May spočiatku očarí bohatstvo novo nájdenej rodiny, čoskoro si však začína uvedomovať, že v tieni sullivanovského sídla číhajú temné tajomstvá. Jej očarujúca sesternica v noci často mizne v nebezpečnej Čínskej štvrti. Teta sa pod vplyvom ópia potuluje po sídle. Strýko má milenku a jeho biznisu sa nedarí ani zďaleka tak dobre, ako by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. No a slúžka jej naznačuje, že je vo veľkom nebezpečenstve. May ani netuší ako, a zrazu pre zradu, šialenstvo a vraždu, ktorú nespáchala, stráca všetko vrátane svojej slobody. Šanca na záchranu prichádza, až keď v jedno skoré aprílové ráno San Francisco zasiahne ničivé zemetrasenie. Táto neočakávaná tragická udalosť prináša May vykúpenie a umožní jej vydať sa na trýznivú cestu, aby získala späť všetko, čo jej kedysi kruto vzali. Náhly zvrat osudu jej privádza do cesty tajomného spojenca a dáva jej šancu na sladkú pomstu...
The Second Sex
Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short form. This book comes with an introduction by Natalie Haynes. When this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir's belief that 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman' switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever.

Lacná kniha Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (-70%)
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'

Časy zo second-handu
Koniec sovietskeho impéria z prvej ruky – očami držiteľky Nobelovej ceny za literatúru Svetlany Alexijevič. Na trpezlivo zbieraných ľudských osudoch ukazuje, ako sa veľké dejiny dotýkajú tých najobyčajnejších ľudí. Mozaika stoviek rôznych hlasov znie v jednom mohutnom akorde, no napriek tomu nezaniká ani individualita konkrétneho človeka.
Čo sa stane s človekom, keď padne impérium? A čo sa stane so všetkou tou vierou, ktorú v sebe mali milióny? Vyparí sa? A dá sa vôbec zo dňa na deň začať veriť niečomu inému?
Časy zo second-handu začínajú v gorbačovovskej ére a končia pri Lukašenkových manévroch v bieloruskom Minsku – je to teda tá najčerstvejšia história, ktorú bývalé sovietske impérium ponúka. Svetlana Alexijevič zavŕšila týmto dielom sériu kníh o osudoch a dejinách ruskej duše. Súčasťou knihy je aj rozsiahly osobný rozhovor Nataľje Irgunovovej, v ktorom Svetlana Alexijevič prezradí mnohé o svojej dlhoročnej intenzívnej práci, za ktorú ju v roku 2015 ocenila Švédska kráľovská akadémia Nobelovou cenou.
