China Rich Girlfriend
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians, is back with a wickedly funny new novel of social climbing, secret e-mails, art-world scandal, lovesick billionaires, and the outrageous story of what happens when Rachel Chu, engaged to marry Asia's most eligible bachelor, discovers her birthfather.
On the eve of her wedding to Nicholas Young, heir to one of the greatest fortunes in Asia, Rachel should be over the moon. She has a flawless Asscher-cut diamond from JAR, a wedding dress she loves more than anything found in the salons of Paris, and a fiancé willing to sacrifice his entire inheritance in order to marry her. But Rachel still mourns the fact that her birthfather, a man she never knew, won't be able to walk her down the aisle. Until: a shocking revelation draws Rachel into a world of Shanghai splendor beyond anything she has ever imagined. Here we meet Carlton, a Ferrari-crashing bad boy known for Prince Harry-like antics; Colette, a celebrity girlfriend chased by fevered paparazzi; and the man Rachel has spent her entire life waiting to meet: her father. Meanwhile, Singapore's It Girl, Astrid Leong, is shocked to discover that there is a downside to having a newly minted tech billionaire husband. A romp through Asia's most exclusive clubs, auction houses, and estates, China Rich Girlfriend brings us into the elite circles of Mainland China, introducing a captivating cast of characters, and offering an inside glimpse at what it's like to be gloriously, crazily, China-rich.

Jenom ne Rich
Před sedmi lety jsme si kamarádkami slíbily, že bez ohledu na to, co se stane, nikdy nebudeme chodit s bratry Kingovými. I kdyby se z nich stali megaslavní, nádherní, srdcervoucí miliardáři. I kdyby se připlazili na kolenou a prosili o odpuštění.
Ale hádejte, kdo nám právě přiletěl soukromým letadlem zpátky do našich životů? A hádejte, kdo se objevil hned první den v mé nové práci? Richard. King. Naštěstí Richardovi trvá jen dvě sekundy, než ukáže, že se vůbec nezměnil. Namyšlený. Suverénní. Hrubý. Bohužel je také tak nádherný, až to hraničí s pohoršením – s čelistí, ze které by i sochy spadly z podstavců, a s úsměvem, který mi zkratoval mozek.
Roky si bere, co chce. Pochybuju, že by toužil po něčem jiném – kromě mě. V žádném případě mu nedovolím, aby se mi zase zapletl do života. Moje kamarádky by mi to nikdy neodpustily. Já bych si to nikdy neodpustila.
Ale už jsem se zmínila o jeho čelisti?

Lacná kniha Imaginary Girlfriend: A Memoir (-90%)
From a novelist known for the complexity of his novels - they are also long - comes an autobiography of compelling simplicity; it is also short. Dedicated to the memory of two wrestling coaches and two writer friends, The Imaginary Girlfriend" is a lucid portrait of the writers and wrestlers who played a mentor role in John Irving's development as a novelist, a wrestler and a wrestling coach. Moreover, this candid memoir portrays a father's dedication to his children: Irving coached his sons Colin and Brendan to New England championship titles - a championship that, as a competitor, he himself was denied. John Irving began writing and wrestling when he was fourteen. He competed as a wrestler for twenty years, he was certified as a referee for twenty-four and he coached the sport until he was forty-seven. His thirty-three years in wrestling are three times those he spent as a student and a teacher of Creative Writing; yet his concise autobiography details the interrelationship of the disciplines of writing and wrestling - from the days when Irving was a beginner at both pursuits until his fourth wrestling-related surgery at the age of fifty-three. "The Imaginary Girlfriend" is both a work of the utmost literary accomplishment and a paradigm for living."

Lacná kniha Rich People Problems (-70%)
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan) and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.
When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Moja cesta k ultra
V októbri 2006, deň pred svojimi štyridsiatymi narodeninami si Rich Roll, priemerný právnik žijúci svoj priemerný život uvedomil, aká budúcnosť ho s najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou čaká.
S viac ako 20 kg nadváhy nebol schopný vyjsť schody vo vlastnom dome bez zastavenia. Bolo mu jasné, že sedavý spôsob života a alkohol ho úplne zničil.
Väčšina z nás by na niečo také prestala okamžite myslieť. Rich spravil presný opak. Zmeniť svoj život veľkým šmahom. Začal inak jesť, prešiel postupnými krokmi na výhradne rastlinnú stravu a zbavil sa prebytočného tuku. Súčasne začal pravidelne športovať.
V priebehu niekoľkých mesiacov sa z typického človeka stredného veku stala vytrvalostné mašina. Keď si jedného rána, po iba trojmesačnom tréningu, išiel Rich zabehať a zistil, že ubehol takmer maratón, pochopil, že by mohol dokázať viac.
Po dvoch rokoch sa dostal medzi najlepších triatlonistov sveta a zdolal dnes už preslávený závod EPIC5 - päť pretekov Ironman v jednom týždni na Havaji. A to bol iba začiatok...
Táto kniha je záznam o jednom z najúžasnejších a najviac inšpirujúcich príbehov osobnej premeny v priebehu krízy stredného veku.
Krátko po svojej obrovskej premene bol Rich vyhlásený za jedného z 25 najzdravších mužov na svete.
Objavuje sa často na televíznych obrazovkách, píše pre magazíny ako Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, The Huffington Post, Men’s Health Living, VegNews, Triathlete, Outside, 3/GO Magazine či Men’s Fitness.
Ide o výnimočný portrét človeka, ktorý vďaka svojej pevnej vôli zmenil svoje životné smerovanie a dosiahol až takmer ku hviezdam. Pomáha posunúť hranice našich mentálnych bariér a každého čitateľa doslova "nakopne". Život s pribúdajúcim vekom iba začína. Rich je toho jasným dôkazom.

China
'Bravo; this is a big, complex and utterly involving portrait of 19th-century China' THE TIMES
The internationally bestselling author portrays the great clash of East and West in his new epic: China
China in the nineteenth century: a proud and ancient empire forbidden to foreigners. The West desires Chinese tea above all other things but lacks the silver to buy it. Instead, western adventurers resort to smuggling opium in exchange.
The Qing Emperor will not allow his people to sink into addiction. Viceroy Lin is sent to the epicentre of the opium trade, Canton, to stop it. The Opium Wars begin - heralding a period of bloody military defeats, reparations, and one-sided treaties which will become known as the Century of Humiliation.
From Hong Kong to Beijing to the Great Wall, from the exotic wonders of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, to squalid village huts, the dramatic struggle rages across the Celestial Kingdom. This is the story of the Chinese people, high and low, and the Westerners who came to exploit the riches of their ancient land and culture.
We meet a young village wife struggling with the rigid traditions of her people, Manchu empresses and warriors, powerful eunuchs, fanatical Taiping and Boxer Rebels, savvy Chinese pirates, artists, concubines, scoundrels and heroes, well-intentioned missionaries and the rapacious merchants, diplomats and soldiers of the West. Fortunes will rise and fall, loves will be gained and lost.
This is an unforgettable tale told from both sides of the divide. The clash of worldviews, of culture and heritage, is shown in a kaleidoscope of jaw-dropping set pieces. China is a feat of the imagination that will enthral, instruct and excite, and show us how things once were, and how the turmoil of the nineteenth century led to modern China's revolution and rebirth.
China Adorned
Aesthetic influences drawn from China have long resonated throughout Western art, design and thought. China Adorned challenges the monolithic idea of 'Chinese' culture and fashion, turning the lens on the rich clothing traditions of ethnic minority groups.
Drawing on three decades of research by cultural anthropologist Professor Deng Qiyao, the book documents and demystifies the customs, rituals and mythology of more than 30 minorities through their clothing and accessories. Deng's never-before-published archival photos sit alongside stunning contemporary imagery by photographer Cat Vinton that showcases fabrics, jewellery and the surrounding landscapes, helping readers to better understand the deep connections between people, place, ritual and adornment. Contributor essays delve further into the textiles and methods, the role of the artisan, the extraordinary resilience of material culture and the importance of preserving these traditions for generations to come.
