Even Silence Has an End
Ingrid Betancourt's story - her exemplary courage, spirit and resilience - has captured the world's imagination. A politician and presidential candidate celebrated for her determination to combat the corruption and climate of fear endemic in Colombia, in 2002 she was taken hostage by FARC, a terrorist guerrilla organisation. She was held captive in the depths of the jungle for six and a half years, chained day and night for much of that time, constantly on the move and enduring gruelling conditions. She was freed and reunited with her children and relatives in 2008. It is Betancourt's indomitable spirit that drives this important and deeply moving book, telling in her own words the extraordinary drama of her capture and eventual rescue, and describes her fight to survive, mentally and physically. As she confronts the horror of what she went through, her story also goes beyond the specifics of her own confinement to offer an intensely intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate reflection on what it means to be human.

Clarke Vince - Songs Of Silence LP
Vince Clarke, ikona synthpopovej éry ako prvý skladateľ Depeche Mode, Yazoo a takmer 40 rokov súčasťou dua Erasure, sa vydáva na novú cestu so svojím vôbec prvým sólovým albumom, odhaľuje pozoruhodný nový aspekt svojej hudobnej brilantnosti s albumom "Songs of Silence". V tomto projekte Clarke skúma nedotknutú cestu ambientnej elektronickej krásy, výrazne sa odchyľuje od svojho slávneho elektropopového dedičstva, aby vytvoril album, ktorý stojí v jeho vlastnej ríši. V skladbe „Songs of Silence“ ste pozvaní zažiť zvukovú scénu, ktorá je bohato sugestívna a zároveň neobsahuje texty. Album preukazuje číre majstrovstvo nad zvoleným médiom a evokuje kozmickú odľahlosť prostredníctvom príbehov vytvorených syntetizátorom, ktoré hlboko rezonujú v ich tichu. Clarke si pri tvorbe tohto albumu osvojil prísny, no inšpirovaný prístup, pričom sa držal dvoch základných pravidiel, ktoré by riadili podstatu tohto projektu. Po prvé, zvuková tapiséria tkaná celým albumom vychádza výlučne zo zvukov generovaných Eurorackom, modulárnym syntetizátorovým formátom, ktorý sa objavil v polovici 90. rokov. Po druhé, každá skladba sa odvíja okolo jedinej, rezonančnej noty, pričom zachováva súdržný kľúč, ktorý skladbu spája v harmonickej jednote. Výsledné kompozície zapuzdrujú príbehy bez slov, ktoré lákajú poslucháčov do ríše pohlcujúceho pokoja, prerušovaného výraznými zásahmi, ktoré slúžia ako dojímavá pripomienka ľudského dotyku, ktorý riadi túto hudobnú odyseu.

Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings
This book has found a special place in my heart. It's as strange, beautiful and unexpected, as precise and exquisite in its movings, as bees in a hive. I loved it' HELEN MACDONALD, author of H IS FOR HAWK
`Everyone should own A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings, which moved and delighted me more than a book about insects had any right to ... Jukes is a gloriously gifted writer and her book ought to become a key text of this bright moment in our history of nature writing' Observer
`Written finely and insightful' Guardian
A fascinating, insightful and inspiring account of a novice beekeeper's year of keeping honeybees, which will appeal to readers of H is For Hawk and The Outrun
Entering her thirties, Helen Jukes feels trapped in an urban grind of office politics and temporary addresses - disconnected, stressed. Struggling to settle into her latest job and home in Oxford, she realises she needs to effect a change if she's to create a meaningful life for herself, one that can accommodate comfort and labour and love. Then friends give her the gift of a colony of honeybees - according to folklore, bees freely given bring luck - and Helen embarks on her first full year of beekeeping. But what does it mean to `keep' wild creatures? In learning about the bees, what can she learn of herself? And can travelling inside the hive free her outside it?
As Helen grapples with her role in the delicate, awe-inspiring ecosystem of the hive, the very act of keeping seems to open up new perspectives, deepen friendships old and new, and make her world come alive. A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings is at once a fascinating exploration of the honeybee and the hive, the practices of honey-gathering and the history of our observation of bees; and a beautifully wrought meditation on responsibility and care, on vulnerability and trust, on forging bonds and breaking new ground.
'This is classic modern nature-writing; a synthesis of scientific learning, observation and the author's response. If you care for the wellbeing of bees and the planet and for the state of the human heart, then this book, with its deft and beautiful prose, is for you... And like all good nature writing, it also - quietly, clearly and insistently - requires us, too, to respond' Countryfile Magazine
`An intimate exploration of the heart and home, and a tantalising glimpse into an alien culture. A brave and delicate book, rich and fascinating' Nick Hunt, author of Where the Wild Winds Are
`Subtly wrought personal journey into the art and science of beekeeping. Helen Jukes evokes both the practical minutiae of the work, and the findings of researchers who have illuminated bee ethology over the centuries' nature
'A mesmeric, lovely, quietly powerful book. A gentle but compelling account of the redemption that comes from relationship and attention' Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast
'A profound, funny and sometimes deeply moving book that describes a year of inner city bee keeping, while dancing between the history of bees and us and what it means to be human in our modern world' Julia Blackburn, author of Threads: The Delicate Life of John Craske
'A very human story about the aliens gathering in her back garden - bees, fascinating but almost unknowable. Their wildness and her duty to them help open up a desk rat's uninspiring life to all the possibilities of love, care, connection and sheer wonder. It is a lovely, entirely personal journey into the very heart of the hive' Michael Pye
`I raced through this really terrific, down-to-earth read. The existential threat to our entire ecosystem posed by the problems facing bees can be hard to grasp, but Helen manages to make this a very personal, human story that, hopefully, might inspire others to action' Luke Turner, The Quietus

Shooting an Elephant
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. 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.
Silence - Vihar előtt
Nora Grey nem emlékszik élete elmúlt öt hónapjára. Azután, hogy egy temetőben ébred, és megtudja: hetekig keresték, megpróbálja életét visszazökkenteni a régi kerékvágásba. Iskolába jár, legjobb barátnőjével, Vee-vel lóg, igyekszik elkerülni édesanyja ijesztő új pasiját.
Csakhogy néha megszólal a fejében egy hang, egy idegen gondolat, amelyet nem képes megérteni. Látomásaiban angyalszárnyak jelennek meg és földöntúli lények, akiknek semmi dolguk Nora életében.
És ott van az a lerázhatatlan érzés is, hogy egy része mintha hiányozna.
Aztán Nora és egy szexi idegen útja keresztezi egymást, és a lányban feltámad a megmagyarázhatatlan vonzalom. Úgy tűnik, minden kérdésére nála van a válasz… és nála van Nora szíve is. Minden egyes perc, amit együtt töltenek, egyre hevesebb – és Nora végül rádöbben, közel áll hozzá, hogy szerelembe essen. Ismét.

Seductive Silence
Pestered by a persistent stammer, a Regency lord must find a way to woo his new mistress without words. He just hopes she can hear what’s in his heart.
Lord Tremayne has a problem. He stammers like a fool—at least that’s what he learned from his father’s constant criticism and punishing hand. Daniel now hides his troubles, limiting his speech and getting by with a few close friends. His well-fought privacy is all for naught when he goes looking for a new mistress and finds a delightful young woman who makes him, of all people, want to spout poetry. He thought he had a problem before? Avoiding meaningless dinner prattle is nothing compared to the challenge of winning the heart of his new lady lust.
Recently widowed and increasingly poor, Thea’s been reduced to sharing her rented room with rodents and arguing over every morsel (the mice usually win). When a friend suggests an alliance of the most intimate sort, Thea’s reluctantly intrigued. But given her lackluster marriage, she doubts her ability to entice an experienced man. The considerate, if quiet, Lord Tremayne attracts her mightily, so she sets aside her misgivings. That is, until Thea realizes she’s about to break the cardinal rule of mistressing—that of falling for her new protector.
