Abundance of Katherines
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy - loving best friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself. From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Looking for Alaska", John Green. John has a huge online presence through his 1.1 million Twitter followers and YouTube channel Vlogbrothers, which has been viewed over 200 million times and has 660,000 subscribers, making it one of the most successful online channels in history.
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.

Diary of an Oxygen Thief
Hurt people hurt people.
Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

Among others, this selection includes 'Shooting an Elephant', 'Such, Such Were the Joys' and 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad'.

The life of an expat
This book describes – in English - the author's emigration from Czechoslovakia triggered by a historical event in August 1968. All events in this book are based on recollection of the author's memories and historical photos from his archives. Only a minor part of the events was collected from friends and colleagues. There might be some discrepancies regarding the exact locations and dates. The book reflects his personal opinions and feelings, and it does open broad his private life. The book represents a complete emigration circle. It starts in Czechoslovakia in 1968 and ends after the author returns to the Czech Republic and regains his citizenship at the end of 2000.
Tato anglicky psaná kniha popisuje autorovu emigraci z Československa, kterou vyvolaly historické události v srpnu 1968. Popis všech událostí v této knize je založen na autorových vzpomínkách a je doplněn fotografiemi z jeho archivu. Malá část knihy je také založena na vzpomínkách autorových přátel a kolegů. Pokud jde o přesná místa a data, mohou existovat nepatrné nesrovnalosti. Kniha odráží osobní názory a pocity autora a čtenáři předkládá pohled do autorova soukromého života.
Kniha představuje uzavřený kruh emigrantského života - začíná v Československu v roce 1968 a končí poté, co se autor vrátil do České republiky a na konci roku 2000 zde znovu získal občanství.

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.

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.

The Art of Kinfolk : An Iconic Lens on Life and Style
An inspiring collection of the best images from the tastemaking Kinfolk magazine
With over 650,000 copies of their books in print and nearly 50 issues of their magazine distributed worldwide, Kinfolk has come to define the taste of a generation: From interiors to fashion, portraiture, food and travel, the consistently boundary-pushing photography produced by the brand has coalesced into one of the most influential and immersive lifestyle aesthetics of the last decade. The Art of Kinfolk brings more than 300 of the most iconic images from the first decade of the magazine into focus. Ranging from the deceptively simple to the surreal to the perennially stylish, this collection of originally commissioned photography captures the arc of an artistic adventure, a creative community at work, and in the process illuminates one of the most enigmatic aesthetics of the era.
