Idiot, 3. vydanie
Do sveta plného zloby, falše, intríg a nelásky, do sveta mamony, karierizmu a nečestnosti privádza F. M. Dostojevskij svojho hrdinu, knieža Leva Myškina, v ktorom stvárnil svoju predstavu ideálne krásneho človeka. Úprimne, s detskou dôverčivosťou a s ľudskou spontánnosťou Myškin otvára srdce každému. Odpoveďou je najčastejšie otvorený výsmech. Jeho povaha však pôsobí ako magnet, burcuje aj najcynickejších, ale predovšetkým – znepokojuje. Knieža Myškin sa usiluje pochopiť konanie každého človeka. Všetko prežíva spolu s ním. A pretože v ľudskom spolužití prevláda viac zloby a podlosti než dobra, nesie v sebe pocit zodpovednosti a viny za všetky krutosti života. Čoraz hlbšie je vťahovaný do zápasu vášní, až sa nakoniec stáva ich obeťou. Možno ani s jednou svojou postavou nebol Dostojevskij tak hlboko spriaznený nielen vnútorne, ale i vonkajšími prejavmi ako s hrdinom románu Idiot. Levovi Myškinovi, tomuto spojeniu levej sily a myšej plachosti, pripísal aj vlastnú chorobu. Navyše ju spojil so všeobecne prijatou mienkou, že od čudáctva či dokonca duševnej menejcennosti u epileptikov je len krok ku genialite – aspoň v určitej životnej oblasti. Za oblasť geniality zvolil pre svojho hrdinu oblasť z hľadiska ideálu budúcnosti najťažšiu – oblasť ľudskej prirodzenosti, skutočne ľudských vzťahov medzi ľuďmi.V románe sa ozývajú hrdinovia národných eposov, hrdinské piesne a rozprávky, ako aj ozveny zápasov ruskej a svetovej literatúry pri hľadaní ideálov pravdy, dobra a krásy. Idiot, v poradí piate rozsiahle dielo F. M. Dostojevského, sa stalo jedným z najčítanejších diel svetovej literatúry.
Lacná kniha Bloc Life - Stories from the Lost World of Communism (-70%)
There was life before the fall.
1989 was a year of astonishing and rapid change: the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and an end to an entire way of life for millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. Bloc Life collects first hand testimony of the people who lived in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania during the Cold War era, and reveals a rich tapestry of experience that goes beyond the headlines of spies and surveillance, secret police and political corruption. In fact, many of the people remember their lives under communism as 'perfectly ordinary' and even hanker for the 'security' that it offered.
From political leaders, athletes and pop stars, to cooks, miners and cosmonauts, the stories collected in Bloc Life evoke the moods, preoccupations and experiences of a world that vanished almost overnight.

Idiot: Life Stories from the Creator of Help Helen Smash
From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein. Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the Internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen.
And it pays the bills! Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next...to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described...Idiot. With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original-and undeniably relatable-new voice.
Stories of Your Life and Others
'A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.' GUARDIAN
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
'United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion.' CHINA MIEVILLE
Idiot (český)
Nový překlad románu, který se řadí k nejznámějším dílům ruské literatury. Mladý kníže Myškin, zcela zchudlý a postižený epilepsií, prožije po návratu ze švýcarského sanatoria tak podivuhodné příběhy, že upadne znovu do své duševní nemoci. Setkává se s kupcem Parfjonem Rogožinem, v němž kníže vidí především nešťastného člověka a soucítí s ním. Lidé, kteří nemohou pochopit jeho dobrotu, označují Myškina za idiota, ačkoli ten má v sobě tolik vnitřní ušlechtilosti a lidskosti, že se tím vymyká svému okolí. Myškin okouzluje svou nevinností a vyrovnaností – autor představuje hrdinu jako člověka, který by mohl povznést svět; jenomže Myškin svou filozofií pokory a všelásky přivádí do neštěstí i ty, které miluje, a nakonec sám sebe…

A Little Life
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.

The Last Letter from Your Lover Film tie
When journalist Ellie looks through her newspaper's archives for a story, she doesn't think she'll find anything of interest. Instead she discovers a letter from 1960, written by a man asking his lover to leave her husband - and Ellie is caught up in the intrigue of a past love affair. Despite, or perhaps because of her own romantic entanglements with a married man . . .
In 1960, Jennifer wakes up in hospital after a car accident. She can't remember anything - her husband, her friends, who she used to be. And then, when she returns home, she uncovers a hidden letter, and begins to remember the lover she was willing to risk everything for.
Ellie and Jennifer's stories of passion, adultery and loss are wound together in this richly emotive novel - interspersed with real 'last letters'.
