Jmenuji se Kvothe. Unášel jsem spícím mohylovým králům ukradené princezny. Spálil jsem město Trebon. Strávil jsem noc s Felurian a odešel živý a při smyslech. Byl jsem vyloučen z Univerzity ve věku mladším, než na ni lidé obvykle vstupují. Mluvil jsem s bohy, miloval ženy a skládal písně, při kterých minstrelové vzlykali. Možná jste o mně slyšeli.Tak začíná Kvothův příběh – od jeho dětství strávené ve skupině potulných herců, přes léta prožitá jako polodivoký sirotek na ulicích zločinem prolezlého města až po drzý a nepřehlédnutelný vstup do obtížného a nebezpečného studia magie na slavné Univerzitě. Na samém počátku však Kvotha potkáváme již jako zkušeného mága, zručného zloděje, suverénního muzikanta a neblaze proslulého vraha.Ale ve Jménu větru se toho o něm skrývá mnohem víc, vždyť jde o pravdivé zobrazení událostí skrývajících se za legendou o Kvothovi Královrahovi.

Volám sa Kvothe. Oslobodil som princezné od spiacich hlinených kráľov. Do tla som vypálil mesto Trebon. Strávil som noc s Felurian a neprišiel som o život ani o zdravý rozum. Keď ma vylúčili z univerzity, nemal som ani toľko rokov, v koľkých tam väčšinu študentov prijmú. Len vo svetle mesiaca som vstúpil na cesty, o ktorých sa iní báli rozprávať aj za bieleho dňa. Hovoril som s bohmi, miloval ženy a skladal piesne, pri ktorých trubadúri plakali. Možno ste o mne už počuli.Takto sa začína príbeh, ktorý nemá v žánri fantasy literatúry obdobu. Príbeh Kvotha: chlapcovo detstvo v skupine potulných umelcov, roky, ktoré ako polodivoká sirota strávil v meste plnom zločinu, drzo odvážny, no predsa úspešný pokus vstúpiť do ťažkej a nebezpečnej školy mágie, aj život na úteku po vražde kráľa.Meno vetra, strhujúci príbeh napísaný rukou básnika, je majstrovské dielo, ktoré čitateľa prenesie do tela a mysle čarodejníka. Ponúka príbeh hrdinu vyrozprávaný jeho vlastným hlasom. Je to príbeh o smútku, prežití, hľadaní zmyslu v jeho svete a o tom, ako spolu s nezlomnou vôľou, ktorá ho poháňala, stáli za zrodom legendy.

Bast je mistrem směnného obchodu. Vyjednávání, jak výhodně dostat něco za něco, je pro něj stejně přirozené jako dýchání. Sledovat ho při tom je jako sledovat umělce při práci.

Sledujte nejoblíbenější postavu slavné Kroniky Královraha v průběhu jediného dne při jejích nadpřirozených kouscích, úkladech a úskocích. Buďte svědkem toho, jak se lehkým tanečním krokem vrhá do nejsvízelnějších problémů a následně se z nich jako zázrakem zase vymaní. Jak hledá a nachází starodávné cesty k tvoření a ničení. Následuje srdce, i když rozum mu velí něco jiného. Konec konců, proč si dávat pozor, když pak přijdete o veškeré napětí a potěšení?

From the internationally bestselling author of LOVE HER WILD comes THE DARK BETWEEN STARS, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus. Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences--the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain--the darkness and the stars - to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.

When world-class chef Pam first opened Inver, her restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, she set out to discover what makes ''modern Scottish food'' - or if it even existed. This book traces Pam''s journey to answer that question and in doing so reveals what we can all gather from our culinary heritage. Part memoir, part manifesto on the future of feeding the world and a feminist critique of the food business, it documents the difficult early days of her now multiple award-winning restaurant, reflecting on how the immersive experience of ''destination restaurants'' can both help and hinder our understanding of wider land and food culture.From the soil to the kitchen, Between Two Waters interrogates the influences on what we eat: capitalism, colonialism and gender, as well as our own personal and cultural histories. Yet it also captures with real heart all that the dinner table has to offer us: sustenance, both physical and imaginative, challenges and adventure and, most importantly, communion with others.More than anything, it is a blisteringly original work from one of the world''s most innovative thinkers about food, sustainability and landscape.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER‘Utterly brilliant. We all need to read this book’ CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN''Patrick’s book is fascinating and sobering and makes a compelling argument for going back to basics’ JOE LYCETTWe used to care a lot about our clothes. We didn’t have many but those we had were important to us. We’d cherish them, repair them and pass them on. And making them provided fulfilling work for millions of skilled people locally. Today the average person has nearly five times as many clothes as they did just 50 years ago. Last year, 100 billion garments were produced worldwide, most made from oil, 30% of which were not even sold, and the equivalent of one bin lorry full of clothing is dumped in landfill or burned every single second. Our wardrobes are full to bursting with clothes we never wear so why do we keep buying more?In this passionate and revealing book about loving clothes but despairing of a broken global system Patrick Grant considers the crisis of consumption and quality in fashion, and how we might make ourselves happier by rediscovering the joy of living with fewer, better-quality things.Weaving in his personal journey through fashion, clothing and the other everyday objects in his life, this is a book that celebrates craftsmanship, making things with care, buying things with thought and valuing everything we own. It explains how rethinking our relationship with clothing could kickstart a thriving new local economy bringing prosperity and hope back to places in our country that have lost out to globalisation, offshore manufacturing and to the madness of price and quantity being the only things that matter.''Presents a new way of thinking about the things we buy'' KEITH BRYMER-JONES

The year is 1738; the place, Paris. A baby is born under a fish-monger's bloody table in a marketplace, and abandoned. Orphaned, passed over to the monks as a charity case, already there is something in the aura of the tiny infant that is unsettling. No one will look after him; he is somehow too demanding, and, even more disturbing, something is missing: as his wet nurse tries to explain, he doesn't smell the way a baby should smell; indeed, he has no scent at all. Slowly, as we watch Jean-Baptiste Grenouille cling stubbornly to life, we begin to realize that a monster is growing before our eyes. With mounting unease, yet hypnotized, we see him explore his powers and their effect on the world around him. For this dark and sinister boy who has no smell himself possesses an absolute sense of smell, and with it he can read the world to discover the hidden truths that elude ordinary men. He can smell the very composition of objects, and their history, and where they have been, he has no need of the light, and darkness is not dark to him, because nothing can mask the odors of the universe. As he leaves childhood behind and comes to understand his terrible uniqueness, his obsession becomes the quest to identify, and then to isolate, the most perfect scent of all, the scent of life itself. At first, he hones his powers, learning the ancient arts of perfume-making until the exquisite fragrances he creates are the rage of Paris, and indeed Europe. Then, secure in his mastery of these means to an end, he withdraws into a strange and agonized solitude, waiting, dreaming, until the morning when he wakes, ready to embark on his monstrous quest: to find and extract from the most perfect living creatures-the most beautiful young virgins in the land- that ultimate perfume which alone can make him, too, fully human. As his trail leads him, at an ever-quickening pace, from his savage exile to the heart of the country and then back to Paris, we are caught up in a rising storm of terror and mortal sensual conquest until the frenzy of his final triumph explodes in all its horrifying consequences. Told with dazzling narrative brilliance and the haunting power of a grown-up fairy tale, Perfume is one of the most remarkable novels of the last fifty years.

Modiano se ve své tvorbě věnuje tématům paměti, ztráty, identity a hledání a všechna jeho díla jsou variací na stejnou zkušenost: jeho vlastní. Rodokmen je vzácnou příležitostí odhrnout závoj fikce a nahlédnout příběh, jenž stojí na počátku těch ostatních. V těchto poutavých pamětech Modiano vypráví o svérázném životě svých rodičů za německé okupace, o svém dětství v domácnosti plné cirkusových umělců a gangsterů poválečné Paříže i o dospívání, kdy pro něj bylo zásadní seznámení s matčiným přítelem Raymondem Queneauem. I když Modiano přiznává, že na paměť se nedá vždy spolehnout, s bolestnou jasností si vybavuje nejpalčivější momenty svého mládí, včetně smrti svého desetiletého bratra. Modianovy vzpomínky na prvních jedenadvacet let jeho života v Paříži jsou opravdovým darem pro čtenáře jeho románů, k nimž nabízejí jedinečný klíč.

On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron gas station for the dragon he’d hired to help on the farm… Sarah Dewhurst and her father, outcasts in their little town of Frome, Washington, are forced to hire a dragon to work their farm, something only the poorest of the poor ever have to resort to. The dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye, though. Sarah can’t help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn’t have a soul but who is seemingly intent on keeping her safe. Because the dragon knows something she doesn’t. He has arrived at the farm with a prophecy on his mind. A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of dragon worshippers, two FBI agents in hot pursuit—and somehow, Sarah Dewhurst herself.

Vo štvrtok 9. októbra 2014 Švédska kráľovská akadémia vied udelila Patrickovi MODIANOVI Nobelovu cenu za literatúru, čím poctila „umenie, s akým Modiano rozoberá a skúma pamäť, evokuje nepostihnuteľné ľudské osudy a odhaľuje svet v čase okupácie“, presnejšie okupovaný Paríž. Rodokmeň (2005) je autobiografickým rozprávaním, či skôr strohou zápisnicou, bilanciou prvých 21 rokoch Modianovho života. S rodičmi, ktorých vídal len zriedka, bol Modiano veľmi skoro odkázaný sám na seba. V Rodokmeni sa Modiano, na rozdiel od kníh, ktoré predchádzali aj nasledovali, už neskrýva za fikciu či autofikciu, ale dáva kľúč k pochopeniu celého svojej tvorby. Sleduje a skúma predovšetkým stopu svojho otca za okupácie a jej prostredníctvom vyníma z prízračného šerosvitu, príznačného pre zvyšok jeho tvorby, „postavy s temnou minulosťou, pokútnou prítomnosťou a hmlistou budúcnosťou“ zaľudňujúce okupovaný Paríž.

Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy … as long as I don't fall in love with him.Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn’t know a thing about baking.He doesn’t even like sugar.So when my late stepfather’s will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he’d painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it’s no surprise he balks.And my jaw drops when another stipulation requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery’s design.His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe.But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can’t refuse. He’ll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing:Fake date him for five months.Keep his ex away by pretending we’re in love.Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two.Maybe share a kiss.Nothing extreme.Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth.Even when he’s using it on me.This should be a cakewalk.Except there’s a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I’ve made the colossal mistake of blurring it.

L.P. Hartley's moving exploration of a young boy's loss of innocence The Go-Between is edited with an introduction and notes by Douglas Brooks-Davies in Penguin Modern Classics.'The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there'When one long, hot summer, young Leo is staying with a school-friend at Brandham Hall, he begins to act as a messenger between Ted, the farmer, and Marian, the beautiful young woman up at the hall. He becomes drawn deeper and deeper into their dangerous game of deceit and desire, until his role brings him to a shocking and premature revelation. The haunting story of a young boy's awakening into the secrets of the adult world, The Go-Between is also an unforgettable evocation of the boundaries of Edwardian society.Leslie Poles Hartley (1895-1972) was born in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, and educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford. For more than thirty years from 1923 he was an indefatigable fiction reviewer for periodicals including the Spectator and Saturday Review. His first book, Night Fears (1924) was a collection of short stories; but it was not until the publication of Eustace and Hilda (1947), which won the James Tait Black prize, that Hartley gained widespread recognition as an author. His other novels include The Go-Between (1953), which was adapted into an internationally-successful film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates, and The Hireling (1957), the film version of which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.If you enjoyed The Go-Between, you might like Barry Hines's A Kestrel for a Knave, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

In a world increasingly preoccupied by borders, bridges celebrate the possibility of connection, allowing the flow of goods, people and ideas. Bridges are among our grandest physical structures with the power of transforming lives and economies, but we also stand (or fall) upon the simple arch of bones in our feet. Text is a bridge between writer and reader, and conversation builds bridges of understanding between minds. Dr Gavin Francis has spent his life fascinated by the power of bridges to improve human connection. In The Bridge Between Worlds he examines bridges both actual and metaphorical, on a journey through more than twenty countries, across four decades of travel. From Rome''s Ponte Sant''Angelo to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, this thought-provoking book reflects on connections between nations and between individuals. Francis demonstrates what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.
