An Ideal Husband
One of the nineteenth century's most successful and most frequently revived plays, An Ideal Husband has divided critics more than any other of Wilde's plays. Treating political intrigue, financial fraud, blackmail, scandal and spin, and the role of women in public life, it is a play which engaged with issues of vital importance to its late-Victorian audience, which continue to resonate today. Sos Eltis, a specialist in Victorian drama and its relation to women's issues, provides a stimulating new perspective on An Ideal Husband, through an introduction that looks at its relation with contemporary social purity campaigns, women's rights, and political scandals. The introduction also gives a substantial performance history, with particular reference to the play's film versions and the influential Peter Hall theatre production.

The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays: Lady Windermere´s Fan", "Salome", "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband", "The Importance of Being Earnest (Oxford World´s Classics)"
Oscar Wilde was already one of the best known literary figures in Britain when he was persuaded to turn his extraordinary talents to the theatre. Between 1891 and 1895 he produced a sequence of distinctive plays which spearheaded the dramatic renaissance of the 1890s and retain their power today. The social comedies, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband, offer a moving as well as witty dissection of society and its morals, with a sharp focus on sexual politics. By contrast, the experimental, symbolist Salome, written originally in French, was banned for public performance by the English censor. His final dramatic triumph was his 'trivial' comedy for serious people, The Importance of Being Earnest' arguably the greatest farcical comedy in English. Under the General Editorship of Dr Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.

Ideal Skutocnost Mytus
Príbeh bratislavského ochranárstva. Tento príbeh chce byť inšpiráciou pri hľadaní odpovedí na v knihe nadhodené otázky a dilemy. K tejto ambícii nás oprávňuje pocit, že v objektívne nepríjemných až deprimujúcich časoch sme dokázali nerezignovať a nájsť zmysel života, ktorý bol spojením príjemného s užitočným, vážneho s humorným, osobného s nadosobným, ako aj duchovného s fyzickým, slobodného so zodpovedným, intelektuálneho s emocionálnym a zmyslovým. Nie náhodou tí, ktorí mali to šťastie byť pri tom, spomínajú na tento dávno-nedávny príbeh ako na najkrajšie chvíle svojho života, (ktoré sa zvlášť vynímali na pozadí škaredej doby). Úprimne želám všetkým o jednu a viac generácií mladším, aby zažili niečo podobné (s výnimkou toho nepekného pozadia).

Husband Material
Wanted:
One (very real) husband
Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best
Two years ago, Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends...and somehow figured out a way to make it all work.
Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. That's what you do when you love someone this desperately, right? But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get this semi-disgraced son of former rock stars and his tightly-buttoned-up boyfriend from I don't know what I'm doing to 'I do'.
Good thing Oliver is such perfect husband material.

Vzpomínáte si na tu krásnou ženu, kterou jste nedávno potkali? Tu, kterou jste jako obvykle neoslovili? Pokud jste z krásných žen nervózní a bojíte se odmítnutí, nebo jen neumíte se ženami mluvit a dát najevo svůj skutečný záměr, je potřeba něco změnit.Spisovatel a blogger Mark Manson přináší ucelený průvodce mužskou atraktivitou, který vám pomůže pochopit, co ženy doopravdy přitahuje, využívat odmítnutí ve svůj prospěch a nebát se projevit svůj zájem tak, abyste nepůsobili jako slizouni. Na rozdíl od jiných knih vám nenabídne „zaručené“ hlášky a taktiky, které by měly fungovat, ale nefungují – namísto toho vám vysvětlí, že zranitelnost znamená sílu a že v opravdovosti je ten největší dar, který ženy dokáží ocenit. Poradí vám, jak flirtovat, jak se správně obléknout a jak změnit svůj svět tak, abyste byli nejen sebevědomí a odhodlaní, ale také přitažliví pro něžné pohlaví.Tato kniha je protipólem všech manipulativních příruček, které vás nutí ženě lhát a přetvařovat se, neboť upřímnost je tou nejlepší cestou k jejímu srdci i k jejímu tělu. Buďte sami sebou, ale buďte v tom lepší.

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'.
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.

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.
