The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

Oscar Emmanuel Peterson (15. august 1925 – 23. december 2007) bol kanadský jazzový klavirista a skladateľ.

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Lacná kniha Oscar Wilde & Vraždy za svitu svíček (-70%)
Londýn, 1889. Oscar Wilde, oslavovaný básník, dramatik a velký vypravěč, je literární senzací svého věku. Celá Evropa mu leží u nohou. Když však nalezne zohavené tělo šestnáctiletého chlapce, bizarně naaranžované v pokoji zalitém pouze světlem svíček, rozhodne se vraždu objasnit.
Za pomoci spisovatelského kolegy Arthura C. Doylea se pouští do rozplétání záhadných okolností smrti nešťastného hocha. Díky své slávě a výřečnosti dokáže proniknout do nejrůznějších míst, jaká jen může viktoriánský Londýn nabídnout: honosných salónů pro nejvyšší společnost, do bohémských ateliérů i do brlohů, kde přebývají velmi pochybné existence. Avšak dříve, než se pátrání dobere nějakých jasných výsledků, vrah sprovodí ze světa další oběť a dá najevo, že ve svém hrůzném počínání hodlá pokračovat…
Oscar Wilde a vraždy za svitu svíček je napínavý detektivní příběh, v němž paralelně poznáváme i skrytý svět Oscara Wildea – jeho složité manželství i neobvyklé přátelské vztahy s významnými osobnostmi té doby. Na každém kroku nás pochopitelně provází proslulý Wildeův břitký humor a sarkasmus, a tak lze říct, že svižný a překvapivý závěr je už jen třešinkou na dortu.

The Canterville Ghost-Strašidlo Cantervillské
Rodina Otisových se nastehuje do strašidelného domu, Cantervillského zámku. Duch, který v domě sídlí, sir Simon de Canterville, tam zavraždil v roce 1575 svou manželku, a za svou vinu je potrestán tak, že musí v dome strašit. Sir Simon straší pomocí krvavých skvrn ruzných barev, které se každý den objevují na podlaze. Všechno je to k nicemu, protože Otisovu rodinu nic nevystraší. Virginii Otisové je sira Simona líto, a když jí rekne, že smrt jeho ženy zavinila nehoda a jak moc je neštastný a osamelý, dožene ji to k slzám...
Četba pro začátečníky - The Happy Prince - Šťastný princ (A1 - A2)
Na sloupu vysoko nad městem stojí socha Šťastného prince, celá pokrytá tenkými plátky zlata. Když princ vidí chudobu a zoufalství svého lidu, požádá dobrosrdečnou vlaštovku o pomoc. Oba obětují mnohem víc než jen bohatství, aby zachránili ty méně šťastné. Dojemný příběh o soucitu a šlechetnosti.
High above the city on a column stands the statue of the Happy Prince, all gilded with thin leaves of gold. When he sees the poverty and desperateness of his people, the Prince asks a kind-hearted swallow for help. They both sacrifice much more than just the riches to save the less fortunate. Touching story of compassion and generosity.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.
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.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
