The Burning God
The exciting end to The Poppy War trilogy, R.F. Kuang's acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of 20th-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect.
After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead.
Despite her losses, Rin hasn't given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so much - the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges - and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation.
Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners.
As her power and influence grows, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix's voice, urging her to burn the world and everything in it?

Lacná kniha Burning britain (-25%)
Hudební tisk konce sedmdesátých let si už punku přestal všímat, považoval ho za ukončenou kapitolu. V podzemí ale začínaly vznikat nové kapely, které záhy všechny vyvedly z omylu. Tento punk byl mnohem tvrdší,agresivnější a více politický a skupiny jako The Exploited nebo GBH se nesmazatelně zapsaly do hudební historie. Kniha podrobně mapuje britskou hudební scénu let 1980-1984 a region po regionu dokumentuje kapely a vydavatelství, díky nimž toto období undergroundové kultury nyní považujeme za jedno z nejpřínosnějších.

Publikaci vydanou ke stejnojmenné výstavě jednoho z nejvýraznějších současných malířů vymezují čtyři základní témata spojená s domovem, od čistě osobní roviny po obecnější vnímání domova jako specificky definovaného místa. Petrbokovy obrazy pozoruhodně odrážejí jednu velkou lidskou zkušenost se světem, který nás obklopuje, se světem nesmírného strachu i hluboké lásky, jsou reflexí posledního půlstoletí naší a světové historie, reflexí, která je vyostřená a ironická, stejně jako intimní a citlivá.

Burning Steel
This is the story of a tank regiment: the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry in the Second World War. Raw and visceral personal recollections from the men themselves recall some of the most dramatic and horrific scenes imaginable - the sheer nerve-wracking tension of serving in highly inflammable Sherman tanks, the sudden impact of German shells, the desperate scramble to bail out, and the awful fate of those who couldn't. Even if they made it out of the tank, they were still vulnerable to being brutally cut down by German infantry.
Yet amidst these horrors, the humanity of these men shines through. And as we follow in their tracks, through letters, diaries and eye-witness accounts, they will change how we think about tank warfare forever.

In A Garden Burning Gold
Rhea and her twin brother, Lexos, have spent an eternity using cunning and magic to help rule their small, unstable country. Rhea controls the seasons to show favor to their most loyal stewards with bountiful harvests and short winters, while Lexos keeps the tides strong and impassable to maintain the country's borders.
Reigning over them both is their father, who holds dominion over death, using his most powerful weapon-fear-to keep the people, and his children, in line. For a hundred years, Rhea and Lexos have been each other's only ally, defending themselves and their younger siblings against their father's increasingly unpredictable anger while also trying to keep up the appearance of unity and prosperity within their borders. Now, with an independence movement gaining ground, other nations jockeying for power, and their father's iron grip weakening, the twins must take matters into their own hands to keep the world from crashing down around them.
But as Rhea and Lexos travel beyond the security of their home to try to save their family, they begin to draw very different conclusions about their father's style of rule. And if the siblings aren't careful, they'll end up facing each other on the battlefield. In a Garden Burning Gold is a captivating saga of love and legacy that explores the limits of power and the bonds of family-and how far both can be bent before they break.
