Under the Whispering Door
Witty, haunting and kind, Under the Whispering Door is a gift for troubled times. TJ Klune brings us a warm hug of a story about a man who spent his life at the office - and his afterlife building a home.
From the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Welcome to Charon's Crossing.
The tea is hot, the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she's right, and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly accepts the truth.
Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his life - even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting colleagues and hectoring employees. He'd had no time for frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing something.
The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So when he's given one week to pass through the door to the other side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days.
Fans of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer love story by TJ Klune.
Pink Floyd - A Foot In The Door: The Best Of 2LP
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili čtrnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: První vydání na vinylu! Kompilační album A Foot In The Door vyšlo původně v roce 2011 na CD a obsahuje nejznámější skladby skupiny z období 1967 - 1994 včetně Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, See Emily Play nebo High Hopes. Pro účely vydání na vinylu byly nahrávky znovu zremasterovány, na zvuk dohlíželi James Guthrie, Joel Plante a také Bernie Grundman. Design alba vznikal pod dohledem kreativní ředitelky Aubrey Powell z Hipgnosis a Petera Curzona. Obal obsahuje alternativní verze fotografií, jež byly použity na CD. Oba vinyly jsou pochopitelně 180g.

20 000 Leagues Under the Sea - zrcadlová četba
Profesor Arronax ví vše, co je známo, o stvořeních, která žijí v moři. Na toto téma přečetl všechny knihy! Takže když uslyší o záhadné mořské nestvůře, která útočí na lodě, požádá svého přítele Conseila, aby mu tu strašlivou bestii pomohl vypátrat. K jejich štěstí se k nim při podmořském dobrodružství připojí Ned Land. Ned je statečný námořník, který se nebezpečí nebojí. Což je jenom dobře…
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.

Lockwood & Co: The Whispering Skull
"Stroud is a genius". (Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series). Ghosts and ghouls beware! London's smallest, shabbiest and most talented psychic detection agency is back. Life is never exactly peaceful for Lockwood & Co. Lucy and George are trying to solve the mystery of the talking skull trapped in their ghost jar, while Lockwood is desperate for an exciting new case. Things seem to be looking up when the team is called to Kensal Green Cemetery to investigate the grave of a sinister Victorian doctor. Strange apparitions have been seen there, and the site must be made safe. As usual, Lockwood is confident; as usual, everything goes wrong - a terrible phantom is unleashed, and a dangerous object is stolen from the coffin. Lockwood & Co must recover the relic before its power is unleashed, but it's a race against time. Their obnoxious rivals from the Fittes agency are also on the hunt. And if that's not bad enough, the skull in the ghost-jar is stirring again...The author of the blockbuster Bartimaeus sequence delivers another humorous and chilling instalment in the critically acclaimed Lockwood & CO. series.

Shadowplay - Behind the Lines and Under Fire
A gripping eyewitness account of a major 20th-century military conflict by the UK's most popular writer on geopolitics; The shattering of Yugoslavia in the 1990s showed that, after nearly 50 years of peace, war could return to Europe. It came to its bloody conclusion in Kosovo in 1999.; Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the Kosovo War. This is his illuminating account of how events unfolded, a thrilling journalistic memoir drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries.; Twenty years on from the war's end, with the rise of Russian power, a weakened NATO and stalled EU expansion, this story is more relevant than ever, as questions remain about the possibility of conflict on European soil. Utterly gripping, this is Tim Marshall at his very best: behind the lines, under fire and full of the insight that has made him one of Britain's foremost writers on geopolitics.
Murder Under the Microscope
Most murders are not difficult to solve. People are usually killed by someone they know, there is usually abundant evidence and the police methods used to investigate this type of crime are highly effective. But what about the more difficult cases, where the investigation involves an unusual death, an unusual killer, or is complex or politically charged? In these cases, bringing the accused before the courts can take many years, even then, the outcome may be contentious or unresolved.
In this compelling and chilling memoir, Jim Fraser draws on his personal experience as a forensic scientist and cold case reviewer to give a unique insight into some of the most notable cases that he has investigated during his forty-year career, including the deaths of Rachel Nickell, Damilola Taylor and Gareth Williams, the GCHQ code breaker.
Inviting the reader into the forensic scientist's micro-world, Murder Under the Microscope reveals not only how each of these cases unfolded as a human, investigative and scientific puzzle, but also why some were solved and why others remain unsolved or controversial even to this day.
