Časy zo second handu, 2.vydanie
Čo sa stane s človekom, keď padne impérium? A čo sa stane so všetkou tou vierou, ktorú v sebe mali milióny? Vyparí sa? A dá sa vôbec zo dňa na deň začať veriť niečomu inému?
Časy zo second handu začínajú v gorbačovovskej ére a končia pri Lukašenkových manévroch v bieloruskom Minsku – je to teda tá najčerstvejšia história, ktorú bývalé sovietske impérium ponúka. Svetlana Alexijevič zavŕšila týmto dielom sériu kníh o osudoch a dejinách ruskej duše. Súčasťou knihy je aj rozsiahly osobný rozhovor Nataľje Irgunovovej, v ktorom Svetlana Alexijevič prezradí mnohé o svojej dlhoročnej intenzívnej práci, za ktorú ju v roku 2015 ocenila Švédska kráľovská akadémia Nobelovou cenou.
Second First Impressions
'A truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story' Beth O'Leary
The latest swoonworthy romcom from the bestselling author of TikTok sensation The Hating Game
First impressions aren't always what they seem . . .
Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it.
Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running.
Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work.
And just maybe, her second first impression will lead to the love of a lifetime . . .

A Second Chance To Get It Right
Imagine this: you're sixty years old, divorced, broke. You've squandered away being the husband and father you should've been to your wife and children in your quest for status among your architect peers.
Don't worry: that's all about to change. Unfortunate encounters with large trucks on the highway have a way of altering your plans, like jettisoning you back into the past to wake up next to a woman you dated in college. You're also about to realize she hasn't aged a day - and neither have you.
Thirty years stripped away, just like that. And as a bonus, you have a six-year-old son you have no recollection of. You also have a new home, a brand new career, new friends and family, and skills you never had in your old life. There's nothing like straddling two distinct lives, trying to figure out how you know some things and yet not others. If only you could remember your past in this new world.
But what do people really know about you that you don't know about yourself? What kind of person are you? What secrets have you kept from those you love in this life? Is this your chance to redeem yourself, or are you fated to repeat the life you left behind and end up alone again?
Better figure it out, and quick.

En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

The Second Sex
'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' Guardian
Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.
Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.
The Second Sex
Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short form. This book comes with an introduction by Natalie Haynes. When this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir's belief that 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman' switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever.
