Dvacet tisíc mil pod mořem / 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea, 2. vydání
Dvacet tisíc mil pod mořem (zkrácené dvojjazyčné vydání) převyprávěné moderním jazykem, pro začínající a mírně pokročilé angličtináře. Děj románu začíná roku 1866, kdy se v anglických listech objevila zmínka o jakémsi mořském netvoru ohromných rozměrů, který napadá lodě. Jedni říkali, že je to ponorka a druzí tvrdili, že se jedná o dosud neznámého tvora. Američané vyslali na moře fregatu Abraham Lincoln, která měla za úkol záhadu vyjasnit. Výpravy se zúčastnil francouzský přírodovědec profesor Aronnax se svým sluhou Conseilem, kteří se na lodi seznámili s harpunářem Nedem Landem. Dvojjazyčné (zrcadlové) knihy patří mezi vhodné studijní doplňky pro výuku cizích jazyků. Texty v originálním jazyce jsou doplněny zrcadlovým českým překladem (nachází se po levé straně knihy). Většina nabízených dvojjazyčných knih je určena pro mírně pokročilé studenty.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you.
For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead.
Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all.
But she doesn't have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking...

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'.
Sestry zo Sea View, 1. diel
Niektorí hostia prišli na dovolenku, iných do Sea View priviedli ich vlastné skryté dôvody...
Keď sa po otcovej smrti ocitnú v chudobe, Sarah Summersová presvedčí svoje sestry, aby v rodičovskom dome pri mori zriadili penzión, lebo iba tak sa dokážu postarať o chorľavú matku. Emily a Georgiana súhlasia, ale Viole, ktorá nosí závoj, aby skryla svoju jazvu, sa ten nápad nepáči.
Sestry, odhodlané zostať spolu, sa pustia do podnikania. Namiesto starých invalidov, ktorých očakávajú, však vo svojom dome čoskoro hostia džentlmenov súcich na ženenie. Sarah váha medzi svojou silnejúcou náklonnosťou k tajomnému škótskemu vdovcovi a povinnosťou voči rodine. Nová situácia medzitým odhalí Violine jazvy — viditeľné aj skryté hlboko v nej — a jej uzavreté srdce sa navždy zmení.

Things We Hide From The Light
Police Chief Nash Morgan is known for two things: being a good guy and the way his uniform accentuates his rear end.
But two bullets put a dent in his Southern charm and now he's facing a criminal still on the loose and a town full of citizens that consider the law more of a 'guideline'. The last thing he needs is the leggy, smart-mouthed Lina Solavita moving in next door, making him feel things he doesn't have the energy to feel.
Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaid's dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.
But when Nash discovers Lina's secret these friends become furious enemies - though the sparks flying between them don't know the difference between love and hate.
Tales from the Cafe: Before the Coffee Gets Cold
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time . . .
From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes Tales from the Cafe, a story of four new customers each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer.
Among some faces that will be familiar to readers of Toshikazu Kawaguchi's previous novel, we will be introduced to:
The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago
The son who was unable to attend his own mother's funeral
The man who travelled to see the girl who he could not marry
The old detective who never gave his wife that gift . . .
This beautiful, simple tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past, in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?

From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea
Black swans - unforeseen events with extreme consequences - have formed the backdrop of the Dajani family's history for almost a century.
In From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea Adel A. Dajani, one of the first Arabs to ever go to Eton, takes us on a journey from the royal palaces of Libya where he was raised, rubbing shoulders with monarchs and presidents, to the prisons of Gaddafi where his father was a political prisoner after the deposition of the monarchy in 1969.
Dajani recounts his experiences of enshrined cultural ignorance about the Middle East and North Africa with humour and candour as he trades the playing fields of Tripoli College for those of Eton College. His journey takes us into his family history, to the Old City of Jerusalem and the orange groves of Jaffa, to the spires of Oxbridge in the 1930s and to post war London in the 1950s. We are given unique eye witness perspectives of a world in endless transition, including invaluable accounts of the Arab Spring Revolutions in Tunisia and Libya and their life-changing impact on Dajani and his young family.
Replete with vivid and memorable anecdotes, From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea is a humorous and compellingly narrated story of a generational voyage through the icebergs of international political upheavals. The reader accompanies Dajani on this voyage, buoyed by his universal themes of family, love, loss, identity and, ultimately, the triumph of the human experience in the face of adversity and displacement.

If Cats Disappeared From The World
A beautifully moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
Our narrator's days are numbered. Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor's diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . .
Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself - and his beloved cat - to the brink. Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man's journey to discover what really matters in modern life.
This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. Fans of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles will also surely love If Cats Disappeared from the World.

Marián Hossa: My Journey from Trenčín to the Hall of Fame
A Stanley Cup champion and modern legend of the game, in his own words
Marián Hossa’s life is a lesson in the value of determination and perseverance. Born into a hockey family that included his father, a former player and coach of the Slovakian national team, Marián and his brother, Marcel, quickly fell in love with the sport. Before long, they began to display the level of skill that could lead to a professional career. But the odds of reaching the NHL from Trenčín, a town of 50,000 people nestled among the mountains of Slovakia, remained long.
Determined to follow their dreams, the Hossas persevered and were each eventually drafted in the first round. After some outstanding years in Ottawa and Atlanta, Marián moved on to Pittsburgh in 2008, where he helped lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit, a series his team lost.
Prioritizing winning over dollars, Hossa signed with the Red Wings the following season, where he again reached the Final only to find heartbreak again, improbably against the team he had just left, the Penguins. It seemed that perhaps he would never raise Lord Stanley’s Cup above his head.
But Hossa persevered, refusing to give in. In 2009, he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks, and played a key role in the team’s dynastic run the following decade, winning championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Then, yet another obstacle appeared in his path: an unusual and debilitating skin condition that compelled him to retire years before he’d planned.
?
In this inspiring and entertaining autobiography, Hossa brings readers inside the dressing room, onto the celebratory team plane, and alongside one of hockey’s greatest stars as he makes the biggest decisions of his career.
Also featuring photos from Hossa's personal collection, this is an essential read for all hockey fans.

A Red Bull-sztori
"Alig van olyan ember a Földön, aki ne ismerné a Red Bull-márkát, amely mára nemcsak az energiaital-piacot uralja, hanem a világ egyik legnagyobb sportvállalkozásává és a média világának is fontos szereplőjévé vált.
Szinte nincs olyan marketing-, sport- vagy szórakoztatóipari ágazat, ahol a Red Bull ne lenne jelen: energiaital-értékesítés, Formula-1, labdarúgás, jégkorong, vendéglátás, szállodák, kiadói tevékenységek, tv-csatorna, hogy csak a legfontosabbakat említsük, ahol a világhírű, két egymásnak feszülő vörös bikát megjelenítő logó feltűnik.
De mi bújik meg e hihetetlen sikertörténet mögött? Hogyan állt fel a padlóról az addig csak szenvedő vállalkozás, hogy végül a világ legértékesebb márkájává nője ki magát? És ki volt valójában a milliárdossá lett osztrák vállalkozó, Dietrich Mateschitz, akinek szinte egyedül sikerült ezt a világraszóló brandet létrehoznia?
Ismerje meg a Red Bull lélegzetelállító és megismételhetetlen 21. századi történetét Wolfgang Fürweger bennfentes könyvéből!"
